On this weekend, when Kyle woke up, he was the only one left in the dormitory... Mikel and Ryan both got up early and went to the library, leaving only two empty beds.
I didn't expect that I would be the last one to get up... Kyle was a little uncomfortable for a while.
He walked out of the dormitory and immediately saw Kangna sitting in the armchair. She seemed to have been waiting for a while, and the crackling explosions on the table were stacked high.
After going to the auditorium to have breakfast, the two went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.
"Are you ready?" Kyle asked as he opened the box.
"I've been preparing for a long time." Kanna jumped into the box with ease.
It’s still that familiar little house.
But this time the feeling was obviously different. With Kyle following her, she didn't need to worry about the fire dragon anymore.
This place is not big, and she had basically seen everything when she came last time, so her eyes turned directly to the door.
"Come with me..." Kyle also saw what she was thinking, so he opened the door and walked out.
The next moment, Kanna was stunned.
Although she had thought that the place to raise a fire dragon must be quite large, she did not expect that the outside of the room was so big!
She stood on tiptoe, but couldn't see the end.
"You didn't move the forbidden forest in, did you?" Kanna asked subconsciously.
"No, no..." Kyle shook his head, "It's a little smaller than the Forbidden Forest, probably only about half the size."
As he spoke, Kyle skillfully stretched out his arm, grabbed the sniffing dog that had snuck over, and threw it into the bushes nearby.
But Kanna didn't notice this, her attention was completely attracted by the wonder before her.
She was surprised to find that there were several distinctly different climates here. There was a lush forest in front of her, but next to her was an endless desert, and opposite her was an ice and snow world with heavy snow falling.
Each place is separated by only a small path, and it feels like the squares on a wizard's chessboard, clearly separated from each other.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared above the two of them.
Then Kanna saw a fire dragon several dozen feet long swooping down from the sky and finally stopping in front of them.
It was the fire dragon that Ron had fainted from fear before.
Connor instinctively felt a little scared, but Norbert didn't even look at her.
After falling to the ground, Norbert's head, which was as big as a table, hit Kyle's arms directly, as if he was acting like a spoiled child.
Despite being prepared, Kyle was still knocked five or six meters away.
“It’s terrible…” Kyle rubbed his chest and said to Kanna who was trying to hold back her laughter, “I’ve reminded it many times, but it obviously never listened.
Remember to be careful next time you come here, it's not pleasant to be hit by it."
Kanna couldn't laugh anymore. She looked at the huge monster that was dozens of feet tall with lingering fear. She secretly decided in her heart that if Kyle hadn't followed her, she would never come here alone.
"Is this really a fire dragon?" she couldn't help but ask.
"What else?" Kyle patted the scales on Norbert's head. "It can't be a tabby cat..."
If it could change its appearance, it would really be possible. After all, how could a fire dragon be so docile... Kanna muttered to herself.
Kyle looked at her awkward look and asked with a smile: "Do you want to touch it?"
"May I?"
Kanna's eyes lit up. She had never been in close contact with a fire dragon before, and she didn't have the opportunity to do so.
"Of course it's no problem, don't worry."
With Kyle's affirmation, Connor plucked up the courage and gently placed her hand on Norbert's body.
The fire dragon's scales were not as smooth as imagined, and felt a little warm to the touch, just like touching the wall next to the fireplace.
Kyle brought her to Norbert's back again.
Kanna, sitting on the dragon's back, smiled happily. This feeling was something she had never experienced before... very novel.
But Norbert was unhappy, he snorted and blew out a small flame, but because Kyle was there, he couldn't move, so he could only wag his tail and knock the ground to express his dissatisfaction.
……

Chapter 481 The Clever Weasley Brothers
It was the first time for Kanna to come into such close contact with a fire dragon, and it was a very novel experience.
But Norbert obviously didn't think so. After the two got down, it immediately stood up and flew away without looking back. And I don't know if it was intentional, but when it left, it swung its tail hard towards the ground, trying to splash Kyle with dirt.
But it obviously did not have the talent to be a chaser. The large ball of mud drew a graceful arc in the air and landed right on the head of the Niffler who had just crawled out of the bushes.
Poor Sniff had just crawled out, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was thrown back into the bushes, leaving behind only a series of frustrated squeaks.
"Oh...it's such a big lump of dirt, I hope it's okay." Kanna asked worriedly.
"Don't worry," Kyle listened to Sniff's full-throated voice, "Not only is everything fine, you can even curse in the street."
After that, he ignored Sniff and continued walking forward with Kanna.
Anyway, although there is a lot of space in his box, it is basically to allow Norbert to move around better and not feel crowded.
As for other aspects, such as the number of magical beasts...it's a bit shabby.
Although he had gradually found more Bowtruckles, Moon Beasts, and Evil Birds from the Forbidden Forest in recent years, after they were scattered across half of the Forbidden Forest, this place still seemed a bit empty.
Especially in the area where it was snowing, there was not a single resident.
But Kanna didn't think so. Everything here made her excited.
She also found a large open space in front of the woods, with rows of round cabbages planted in it.
"Is this the food you prepared for the Moon Beast?" she asked curiously. "It must be very troublesome to grow these."
"It's indeed troublesome, but this is not for the Moon Beast to eat." Kyle said, "And you have to be careful, don't run in. In a way, this place is much more dangerous than the fire dragon."
As he spoke, he picked up a branch from the ground and threw it over, hitting a cabbage.
The next second, the cabbage, which was originally normal, suddenly cracked in the middle.
Kanna's eyes widened as she saw that it was a big mouth full of sharp teeth.
The branch was quickly bitten into pieces, and Kanna could even clearly hear the sound of teeth clacking.
“Is this biting kale?” she asked incredulously.
"That's right." Kyle nodded, "So you must be careful when you pass by here. And the vine behind the biting cabbage, you see it, hidden behind the stone, it's a poisonous tentacle... and the row of flower pots next to it, there are mandrakes in them.
Oh, and you must know the Devil’s Snare. The yellow flowers on the left are nightshades. Don’t touch them. If you let the pollen get on your body, you will feel uncomfortable for a long time. ”
Connor just listened quietly, and her expression became stranger with every name Kyle said.
Why did she feel that there was not a single normal plant here? They were either poisonous or extremely dangerous... In this case, the large patch of Dictamni and Rue next to it seemed a bit redundant.
It feels like it was planted here intentionally to reduce the level of danger.
Oh, and the fire dragon just now...
Kanna blinked and couldn't help asking, "Are you preparing for the Triwizard Tournament?"
If you think about it carefully, if you release all of these, unless the content of the competition is a duel with Professor Dumbledore, no level will be a problem.
A fire dragon alone can sweep away everything.
"The Triwizard Tournament? Of course not. I just like to grow flowers. It's purely a personal preference."
Kyle shook his head and said, "I don't know if I can become a warrior yet. Besides, there are some things here that cannot be shown. For example, the fire dragon and the poisonous tentacles. If other people knew that I had these, I'm afraid the Aurors would come to ask me to visit the Ministry of Magic."
"You know that too..." Kanna muttered softly.
But Kyle didn't care. After all, no outsiders would come to this place, so it was very safe.
And it doesn't matter even if others find out. Newt has quite a lot of experience in this area. He just needs to copy the reference answer directly, which is very convenient.
Connor stayed in the box until noon, during which time she drew a sketch on parchment.
As if she was worried that she would lose the parchment, she did not write in great detail, but simply marked the degree of danger of each area with different colors.
Safer places, such as the bushes and white rue bushes in front of the entrance, are lighter yellow and pink, corresponding to the sniffles and flowers.
The area representing the sky was circled in red...Kyle thought that should be Norbert.
As for the open space with the biting cabbage and poisonous tentacles, it was simply painted black.
A piece of parchment was scribbled all over by her, making it even more abstract than the illustrations in the "Dream Interpretation Guide".
Kyle can guarantee that if anyone else sees this thing, they will definitely not know what it is. The level of confidentiality is extremely high.
The two returned to the small room at the entrance again. After Connor carefully put away the parchment, she followed Kyle out of the box and prepared to go to the auditorium for lunch.
Kanna didn't eat much in the morning, and she had been turning back and forth in the box all morning, so she was already hungry. If it weren't for this reason, she could probably stay in the box all day.
The two walked all the way from the eighth floor to the lobby.
However, just as they reached the door of the auditorium, Fred and George jumped out from the left and right and stood there like a wall.
"You must have gone to see the boxes!" George said with certainty without waiting for Kyle to speak.
"How did you know that?" Kyle asked.
"Because we went looking for you!" said Fred.
"But you weren't in the common room..."
"Neither in the library nor in Hagrid's hut..."
"The door to the Room of Requirement won't open..."
George smiled knowingly, "No need to think, it must be you in there, so that when you and Kanna go to check the box, you won't be discovered by others!"
"Okay, I admit it." Kyle shrugged. "You guessed it right. It's the weekend, so I just happen to have time."
"Kyle, have you forgotten what you promised us..." Fred said with a bad expression: "George, I think we need to do something to make this forgetful gentleman recall what he said at the beginning."
"I couldn't agree more, Fred," George grinned.
The two men rubbed their fists, and then... took out a handful of dung balls from their pockets.
