In Beauxbatons, it was someone he knew, which was not much.
Apart from Ms. Maxim, there were only Fleur, Gabrielle, and Professor Locknir whom I met in Romania.
But none of them meet the conditions.
After the two of them came to sit down at the Hufflepuff table, Professor McGonagall also came in with the new students.
While they were being sorted, Kyle asked again: "Did you ask his name?"
"He didn't say." Kangna shook her head.
"Then how did you come back?"
"Apparate." Kangna said, "But the old wizard was really old. When I grabbed his arm, his arm broke without much force. I was shocked at the time."
Well, now Kyle knows who it is.
There are many older wizards in the magic world, but the only one who is so old that it breaks at the touch of a touch is Nicoléme, who has lived for more than six hundred years.
That makes sense.
Although Nico lives in Devon all year round, he occasionally goes to France for vacation to listen to operas and the like. Like a randomly refreshed NPC, many people have encountered him.
And Beauxbatons is Nico's alma mater, so it makes sense for him to go back and check it out... I just don't know how Nico met Connor.
Soon, the sorting was over, and the freshmen all came to their respective colleges. The originally empty golden dinner plates were immediately filled with various kinds of food.
Kyle, who hadn't eaten much all day, didn't think about Nico anymore and picked a piece of grilled steak for himself.
"By the way, how was your assessment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association?"
"It went very smoothly." Kangna couldn't help but smile: "Although the process was a bit bumpy, some people thought that I was too young and should take the assessment again after two years, but Mr. Damocles didn't think so. He insisted on taking me He joined the list and personally supervised the process of brewing the potion."
"This is the first time I know that making a potion depends on your age. Could this increase the success rate of the potion?"
Kyle snorted disdainfully, "If he is not strong enough, no matter how old he is, Crucible will not give him face... By the way, do you still remember who are the people who want to disqualify you from the assessment?"
"What do you want to do?" Kangna glanced at him.
"Of course it's a little surprise for them." Kyle took some French fries for himself, "This seems to be aimed at you, but it's actually aimed at me... After all, all wizards in the UK know that the Ministry of Magic has I’m the youngest.”
"Don't come here, don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Kang Na gently kicked Kyle's calf from below. "Although they are a bit old-fashioned, they didn't object after I passed the exam. You must not do anything unnecessary!"
"How is it possible? Who do you think I am?" Seeing Kang Na's unconcerned look, Kyle also changed the subject in time and said: "But why do you want to go to Norway to take the assessment?"
"Because Mr. Damocles is in Norway. It is said that he discovered a special herb there that can improve the wolfsbane potion." Kangna said.
Damocles was Belby's uncle whom he met on the train. He was also the inventor of Wolfsbane potion and a famous potion master. It was reasonable for him to be responsible for the assessment of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists.
"So you passed?"
"Not sure yet." Kangna took a bite of the fried pork chop. "The results won't come out until after Christmas, but I think it's fine."
"Then it must have passed." Kyle said with a smile.

Chapter 716 Kyle’s Double-Way Mirror
Kyle didn't think it was very difficult for Connor to pass the examination of the Association of Extraordinary Apothecaries. With her talent and Snape's help, this was almost a certainty.
Of course, the premise is that no one maliciously lowers the score...
But then again, it doesn't matter if there is, because I will graduate next year, so I have plenty of time to help them correct their mistakes.
……
An hour later, the pudding dessert on the table also disappeared, and the golden plate became as shiny as new again.
When Dumbledore stood up, the laughter echoing in the auditorium disappeared in an instant.
"Have an evening everyone," he said with a smile, spreading his arms as if to hug everyone in the auditorium.
"Look at his hands." Mikel suddenly said.
Ryan turned around and said, "It's normal. What's wrong?"
"I mean, Dumbledore wore a ring." Mikel said, "He never wore a ring before."
Kyle also noticed that Dumbledore had a very conspicuous gemstone ring on his finger. The black gemstone on it was only slightly smaller than the Golden Snitch.
Resurrection stone!
Kyle narrowed his eyes, but soon he didn't care.
Because there was no obvious change in Dumbledore's hand, it still looked the same as before, which meant that the curse on the ring had disappeared.
And being able to be worn on the hand also means that it is no longer a Horcrux... Dumbledore still has a contract with him. If the ring is still a Horcrux, he can't touch it.
As if aware of Kyle's gaze, Dumbledore also looked over and winked at Kyle gently.
"It's great to see you here again, and not a single one of you is missing," he exclaimed.
Everyone knew what he meant.
In the past two months, almost every issue of the Daily Prophet reported that someone was missing or even dead. It was indeed a blessing for them to escape.
Dumbledore did not exchange too many greetings, but announced a few precautions to the new students as usual.
For example, freshmen are not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest, and the selection time of the Quidditch team.
However, there is one more thing to note this year.
"...Administrator Filch asked me to tell everyone. Students are absolutely prohibited from bringing in any products purchased from the Weasley Joke Shop this year."
There is no doubt that Fred and George were targeted, and the entire store was put on the school's blacklist... Simple and hassle-free.
"Also," Dumbledore continued, "We are delighted to welcome a new teacher this year, Professor Slughorn."
He reached back and Slughorn stood, his bald head glistening in the candlelight.
At the Slytherin table, Malfoy looked at him waving and sneered disdainfully, but the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"I am very pleased that Professor Slughorn has agreed to return to his old career as Potions teacher at Hogwarts."
"Potions?"
The entire auditorium seemed to pause for a second, and then there was a buzzing of whispers.
"At the same time." Dumbledore raised his voice, "Professor Snape will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Two very sudden voices came from the auditorium.
Speaking of Harry and Malfoy, they stood up almost simultaneously.
Harry could not accept Snape teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, his favorite subject.
And Malfoy did not choose Defense Against the Dark Arts... This is easy to understand. As a person who is about to serve the Dark Lord, there is no reason to defend himself.
But his mother had told him several times before the start of school that he must choose Snape's class.
Malfoy didn't care at first. He thought that his grades in Potions would be fine. Who would have thought that Snape went to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, and the person in charge of the Potions class was Slughorn, whom he hated.
"Draco, the professor is looking at you." Pansy pulled his robe under the table.
Only then did Malfoy notice that he and Harry Potter had become the center of attention, and Snape on the stage was looking at him coldly.
Malfoy reacted and sat back immediately.
After calming down, he realized that the course selection could be changed. As long as Snape agreed, he could still continue taking Defense Against the Dark Arts.
As for Slughorn's Potions class... who cares.
"Ah, Snape got his wish." Kyle looked at Connor and said, "I remember that he has always wanted to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. It seems that the principal finally agreed this year."
Connor frowned, not wanting to be happy for Snape... After all, everyone knew that being the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts was not an easy job.
She couldn't figure out why Snape had to teach this class. Potions were obviously his strength.
"Don't worry." Kyle said softly, seemingly sensing Connor's worry: "I guess after this school year ends, Professor Snape will probably return to the Potions classroom."
"really?"
"It should be." Kyle said, "And this curse is not as terrible as you think. Look at Lupin, Sirius and Moody, aren't they all fine?"
Kyle's reassurance seemed to have some effect, and Connor looked less worried.
There were many people like them, and people in the entire auditorium were talking about it. Everyone was more concerned about this matter than Dumbledore's next instructions.
However, it may be that he has given similar instructions many times, and the meaning is the same, that is, he advises everyone to unite and face the enemy together.
The only difference is that this year there are some more forbidden areas in the castle, presumably related to the newly added magic defenses. Dumbledore also asked everyone to strictly abide by the new school rules set by the professors and restrain their behavior.
After the dinner, as usual, everyone pushed the benches behind them and began to file out of the auditorium and toward the dormitory.
Connor went off to fulfill her prefect duties of looking after the first years, and Kyle hesitated before walking silently through the crowd back to the common room.
It's just to guide the new students. There is no need for so many prefects. Two are enough.
"Kyle, I've been looking for you." At this moment, a man ran over from behind.
"Grace?" Kyle looked back at the visitor and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Come with me quickly." Grace grabbed Kyle's sleeve and was about to drag him in the direction where the professors left. "They sent me the Quidditch captain's badge by mistake. While the professors are here, we It should be possible to change it back.”
Kyle stood still.
Grace tugged twice, and after finding that she couldn't hold it anymore, she turned back and said, "Hurry up, the professors will leave in a moment."
"No, Grace, they didn't send the wrong person." Kyle shook his head, "In fact, you are the captain."
Grace stood there blankly.
"But...how is this possible?"
"Why is it impossible?" Kyle said with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, even if the badge may be sent to the wrong person, the name will never be wrong.
I assume there was a letter sent with the badge announcing your appointment as Quidditch Captain."
"Ah, is there?" Grace blinked.
"You don't know?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
