If it were anyone else, they would have collapsed long ago. Kyle felt that he would have collapsed as well.
But if there's only one... then it should be fine.
In order not to worry Newt, Kyle quickly wrote him a letter after leaving the box and gave it to Laton to deliver.
Laton picked up the envelope and flew out of the open window.
“This is too inconvenient.”
Looking at Laton's receding back, Kyle touched his chin thoughtfully.
The magical world is good in every way except that its communications are too primitive. An owl takes at least half a day to send and receive a message, which is nothing compared to the convenience of a telephone.
Unfortunately, although Newt himself is not opposed to this kind of Muggle electrical appliances, the place where they live is too remote, almost in the mountains and forests, and there are Muggle-repelling spells around, so it is probably impossible to install a telephone.
After sending Rodan away, Kyle put Sniff back into the box, then took a bath and changed into clean clothes.
It is worth mentioning that the spare clothes that Chris sent to Dorset were all Kyle's from last year. Because he had grown a lot taller this year, those clothes were very uncomfortable to wear.
In the end, it was Tina who helped to alter it and it was barely wearable.
Not long after, the Weasley brothers arrived, and the moment Kyle opened the door, they rushed in like two bandits.
"We saw your owl just now, and knew it must be you who had returned."
Fred stood in front of Kyle with his arms folded, looking very serious.
"I can't believe you disappeared for half a month without telling us!"
George blocks Kyle from the other side.
"What's even worse is that we haven't received a single letter in the past half month... Do you know how worried we are about you?"
Facing the aggressive Fred and George, Kyle remained calm.
Worried about him? That could at best fool Ron.
"If I remember correctly, you haven't sent me any letters in the past half month."
Kyle raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure you're worried about me?"
"Forehead……"
Fred and George's serious faces suddenly fell. They looked at each other in bewilderment and made eye contact almost instantly.
"You didn't write to Kyle?"
"No, I thought you did."
"What a coincidence, I thought so too."
……
In fact, the two learned the news from Chris on the day Kyle arrived in Dorset, so of course they couldn't worry about him.
The reason they said this was because they had discussed it beforehand, and they just wanted to find an excuse to give Kyle a hard time.
Unexpectedly, there was a loophole and the perfect plan they had come up with in one night ended before it even began.
The main reason was that they were so focused on researching the series of quick-acting candies for skipping classes that they never thought of writing to Kyle.
"Ahem...of course we are worried about you."
Fred said uncomfortably, "But you know, Errol is already very old. We really can't bear to let him fly so far to deliver mail."
"Flew so far?" Kyle narrowed his eyes and said, "From what you said, it seems like you know where I went."
The expressions on the twins' faces became even more unnatural.
"…It's just a guess. Yes, a guess." Fred smiled awkwardly, "Now that we see that you are okay, we are relieved."
"Really..." Kyle continued with a long tone: "Then your guess is quite accurate. I suggest that you can choose the divination class this semester. You will definitely shine there."
His current expression was only one step away from looking like a Potions professor with a slicked-back hair.
"Um...we'll consider it." George turned his head with a guilty conscience and changed the subject stiffly: "By the way, I have good news for you. In the past half month, we not only successfully completed the Fat Tongue Toffee, but also developed a second quick-acting skipping candy product."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of marshmallow from his pocket.
The orange gummy candy is crystal clear and looks a bit like a pea.
Fred seemed to have completely forgotten what happened just now. He blinked and said, "Would you like to guess what its function is?"
Kyle took the jellybean.
After the experience with the Fat Tongue Toffee, Fred and George handled it very well this time. There was no taste of potion on it, so it was obviously impossible to start from that aspect.
Kyle thought about it and randomly guessed an answer.
"Can eating it make people bleed from the nose?"
After hearing Kyle's words, the twins' eyes lit up at the same time.
"Nosebleed?!" Fred said excitedly, "Kyle, this is a great idea!"
"Why didn't we think of it?" George slapped his forehead hard, as if he wanted to slap his brain out.
"What better way to skip class than with a nosebleed, Kyle, you're a genius!"
Kyle smiled and said, "Thank you. I have to say, you have a really good eye."
Although the nosebleed was originally their idea, it didn't stop Kyle from accepting this very pertinent comment.
"It's a pity that school is about to start." Fred suddenly sighed: "Otherwise we can try to study it now."
"We'll have to wait until next year," George said with some regret, "or maybe during the Christmas holidays."
Seeing the two of them look as if they had lost a hundred Galleons, Kyle raised the candy in his hand with some amusement and said, "So, what does this do?"
"This is vomit candy." George spread his hands and said, "It will make people vomit non-stop after eating it."
"But what you see now is only a semi-finished product." Fred continued: "After all, vomiting all the time is not good, so we are still researching its antidote."
"Need help?" Kyle asked.
"Not this time."
Fred shook his head and said, "The main ingredient of the vomit candy is diluted hellebore juice. We only need rue and daisy root to solve it perfectly. We are almost done."
Kyle was stunned.
Hellebore and rue really go well together here.

Chapter 131 Ron's Wand
Because of something unexpected happening in the ministry, Chris and Diana did not come back at noon, so Kyle had lunch at the Weasleys' house.
Mrs. Weasley, who hadn't seen Kyle for more than half a month, was very happy. She directly poured seven or eight sausages into his plate and forced him to have three more bowls of rice.
After eating, Kyle was so full that he didn't want to move anymore.
"Would you like to help get rid of the goblins together?" Fred invited enthusiastically after lunch.
"We are serious Quidditch Beaters now. We can definitely beat you."
"Next time." Kyle shook his head and took out a yellow envelope from his pocket and said, "I'm going to Diagon Alley to buy some things for the new semester."
"Oh, by the way, you haven't bought anything yet!"
Mrs. Weasley, who was busy in the kitchen, came over at this time and said, "Wait a moment dear, we can go to Diagon Alley with you."
"No thanks, Mrs. Weasley."
Kyle smiled and said, "The things that second graders need are actually similar to those of first graders. I just need to buy some parchment and ink. I'll be back soon."
"But..." Mrs. Weasley seemed hesitant.
"It's okay, Mum," said Fred. "We can go with him."
George also said, "Yes, Mom, don't worry."
"Okay then." Mrs. Weasley thought about it and said nothing more, but she still glanced at the twins and instructed them, "Come back quickly after shopping, and don't take Kyle to those messy places."
“We’re not going to those places.”
"To be honest, even though you are our mother, you don't understand us at all."
……
While the twins were talking to Mrs. Weasley, Kyle suddenly noticed Ron sitting next to them... and the wand he had been holding in his hand.
He had seen this wand at Charlie's last term. It was badly worn and even the unicorn hair was exposed.
Kyle suddenly remembered something and looked up and said, "Mrs. Weasley, you misunderstood Fred and George."
After hearing what Kyle said, the twins nodded repeatedly and silently gave a thumbs-up with their hands behind their backs.
But Kyle pretended not to notice their actions and continued, "They followed me to Diagon Alley because they actually wanted to buy a new wand for Ron."
"Hmm...huh?"
Fred and George were nodding when they suddenly froze and turned to look at Kyle in disbelief.
Ron, who was standing beside him, was equally incredulous.
Merlin, Fred and George...are they going to buy him a new wand?
Ron couldn't believe what he heard, but then he felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart.
He wanted a new wand so badly that he even dreamed about choosing a wand at Ollivander's these days.
There was no way. Although the family was rich, Mrs. Weasley refused his request to buy a wand on the grounds that the Galleons were twins and she was just keeping them for safekeeping.
did not expect……
Ron's eyes were red and he looked at his two brothers with a touched face, as if he would cry in the next second.
Fred and George hadn't reacted yet and their expressions looked a little dazed.
When did they say they were going to buy Ron a new wand? Wasn't that a complete waste of Galleons? He was only in his first year, so he could just make do with Charlie's old wand.
However, out of trust in Kyle, the twins hesitated for a moment and did not refute.
"Y-yes, Mom."
