Because of Voldemort's relationship with the Death Eaters, most students chose to stay at Hogwarts for the Christmas holiday, and only a few decided to go back.
Draco Malfoy was one of them, and he was the most anxious and left the castle early in the morning.
As well as Harry and his group, Mrs. Weasley had invited them back to No. 12 Grimmauld Place for Christmas long before school started.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Kyle.
While everyone else was going to the Hogsmeade platform, he had already brought Connor to a field on the side of the castle.
"How are we going to get there..." Kang Na looked a little nervous, "Is it going to be apparating, or is it a portkey?"
"None of them." Kyle said. "Nico's manor, like Hogwarts, prohibits disembodiment. In addition, door keys are not allowed unless they are made by Nico himself, but Professor Dumbledore did not give them to him." My..."
He glanced into the distance and said, "Oh, Hagrid is here."
Connor turned her head and saw Hagrid walking towards her wearing his huge moleskin coat.
Next to him was a carriage pulled by a Yeqi.
"Hey Kyle!"
From a long distance away, Hagrid started waving, and when he came over, he directly handed over the reins in his hand.
"It's still the Thestral from before, it knows the way." Hagrid lowered his voice and said, "I originally wanted to invite you to teach Grawp with me during the Christmas vacation. He has made great progress now.
"But you'd rather be there, wouldn't you?"
Kyle just smiled and said nothing.
In fact, even without Nicolas Flamel's invitation, he would most likely have gone back with Harry and the others, or stayed in the castle with Connor, instead of going with Hagrid to meet his giant brother.
Apart from anything else, the smell around the giant is not something that ordinary people can stand, and Lu Wei might like it.
Kyle took the reins, and after Connor got into the carriage, he jumped in too.
Hagrid whispered something into Theqi's ear, and Theqi immediately ran forward two steps, spread its wings and flew.
"Well, Merry Christmas!" Hagrid waved his hand below.
"Merry Christmas," Kyle said.
The Thestral flew higher and higher, and soon, Hagrid's figure turned into a fuzzy black dot.
At this time Kyle walked into the carriage behind him.
Kangna looked out the window with unconcealable excitement on her face.
"I have never been on a Thestral carriage like this," she said. "This feels great."
The Thestral led them and quickly caught up with the steaming Hogwarts Express below, leaving it far behind almost in the blink of an eye.
But even so, the two people in the car didn't feel any bumps. It was as smooth as if it had been parked in place without moving.
Kyle had ridden in the Thestral carriage once before and was much calmer than Kangna.
The carriage passed through the clouds all the way, and unknowingly, there was a thin layer of ice crystals around it.
As if she felt a little cold, Kangna lowered the window, turned to look at Kyle and asked, "What kind of place is Nico Manor?"
"It's interesting." Kyle thought for a moment, "Everything you see there, including the walls, ceilings, tables, chairs, fireplaces, and even the kettles used to water the plants are all alchemical items.
"They are just like the portraits in Hogwarts. They can talk and move on their own."
"It's amazing." Kangna's eyes sparkled.
"I'm a little nervous." She said suddenly,
"what happened?"
"Tell me, what kind of person is Mr. Nicoléme, and what is his personality like?" said Conna. "He is over six hundred years old. Is he very serious? Should I change into something more serious?" Formal clothes.”
She looked down at her clothes... Originally she was wearing a less fancy dress robe, but before setting off, Kyle insisted that she change into ordinary clothes.
"No need to go to such trouble, Nico doesn't care about this." Kyle waved his hand, "And you will only make him feel uncomfortable if you go there in a dress robe."
"But that's not what Professor Snape said..." Connor whispered, "He told me yesterday that the older the wizard, the more he cares about this."
"Snape..." Kyle said calmly, "Has he seen Nico?"
Connor shook her head.
"That's right, he hasn't seen it before, so he has some random ideas." Kyle said disdainfully,
"What he said only applies to ordinary wizards. Nico, who has lived for more than 600 years, has never seen anything. He no longer cares about the so-called etiquette. He just does whatever makes him feel comfortable, including when talking to him. No need to call him Sir, he prefers to be called Nico."
"Is that so?" Kangna was a little skeptical, not because she didn't believe Kyle, but mainly because it was different from what she thought.
"Just trust me," Kyle said, "Also, you've actually seen him before, but you just didn't know it yet."
"What, have I met Mr. Nicoléme?" Conna's eyes widened, "When? Why don't I remember!"
"You'll know when you get there," Kyle said with a smile.

Chapter 737 Phoenix Potion
Devon.
When the Thestral carriage finally came to a stop, Kangna was stunned. She looked at the manor in front of her and wondered if this was another Hogwarts.
After all, who can put two fire dragons dozens of feet high at the door... Even the door of Hogwarts is just a warthog with wings.
Kyle understood Kangna's mood very well. After all, he was like this when he first came here, but now he is used to it.
"Please follow Tata... Mr. Buzz has been a little irritable recently." The person responsible for leading them was still the house elf Tata.
"Mr. Hum?" Kangna was a little confused.
Isn’t this Nicoléme’s estate? Who is this person who appears suddenly? He is also a guest here like them, but the name is a bit too strange.
"Oh, that's it. You must be careful..." The elf Tata pointed in the direction of the garden.
Kangna looked over curiously, but she didn't see anyone there. In other words, there were only the three of them in this huge manor.
"He is Mr. Buzz." The elf pointed at the lawn again.
This time, Kangna finally saw that he was referring to a lawnmower that looked like a swallow-tailed dog in the middle of the lawn, and every time the lawnmower moved, it would make a loud buzzing sound.
In addition, there is a kettle that can water the flowers by itself, gloves that actively pick up fallen leaves... a long-handled brush that bends itself into an amazing arc, trots all the way to the carriage they are riding in, and actively helps to brush the leaves. Got up the carriage.
"It's incredible," Connor whispered.
Although she had heard Kyle talk about the situation here when she was on the road, it was just hearsay after all, and she was still shocked after seeing it with her own eyes.
Now Connor was even more curious about Nicoléme.
Several people walked into the manor house.
"Oh, you're finally here." Nico was lying on a folding chair, still wearing his eye-catching floral shirt, smiling and waving to them, "Hurry up and take off all those heavy cloaks you are wearing. Now, don’t you feel hot?”
Hearing what he said, Kyle felt really hot.
He raised his head and glanced at the ceiling. The sky was clear, completely different from the gloomy sky outside, and there was also a salty breeze blowing from time to time.
"Where is this?" Kyle asked.
"Hawaii, you know, the weather in the UK is not very friendly to people of my age." He knocked on the table next to him. A coconut tree rose from the ground, and its broad leaves just blocked the sunlight above his head.
"What's going on?" Kangna asked doubtfully. She felt that she couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about.
"The ceiling." Kyle pointed, "The ceiling of the Hogwarts auditorium can correspond to the weather outside. The one here is even more magical and can show any place."
Kyle took out his wand and clicked on Kangna's clothes, and the original thick robe immediately turned into a summer style.
Kangna didn't seem to have come back to her senses. It wasn't until Kyle brought her closer that she suddenly saw Nico's appearance clearly.
"You are...the old wizard from Beauxbatons!" Connor stopped and looked at Nico.
"That's right, it's me." Nikki said cheerfully, "It's so fate that we meet again."
"Thank you, sir. I always wanted to say thank you, but as soon as I turned around, you disappeared." Connor said excitedly. She shook Kyle's arm. "He was the one who brought me back to Hogwarts." ”
"It's not difficult to guess." Kyle said, "There are many older wizards, but it's not that common to break bones with a light touch."
"Kyle, your words are too hurtful." Nico said dissatisfied: "You are obviously too strong."
Kyle shrugged, "If that's what you think, then so be it."
"Wait..." Connor suddenly realized something. "You knew that the person who helped me was Mr. Nicolas Flamel, but you never told me?"
Kyle's eyes were a little wandering.
Just when he was thinking about what to say, Nico on the side helped change the topic at the right time: "Just call me Nico, it doesn't need to be so formal. I remember when I met you, you said that you had just finished attending The assessment of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, right?”
"Yes sir...well, I mean, Nico." Connor was still not used to calling Nico by his first name.
"In that case...Tata."
The elf ran over immediately.
"Take Kangna to my library." Nico said, he looked at Kangna, "I remember Zygmunt Bach once gave me a potion book written by himself, which should be of great interest to you. of."
"Zygmunt Bach?" Kangna couldn't help but raise her voice, "Is it the potion master who invented the elixir?"
"He invented many different potions, but people seem to only remember the lucky potions." Nico said, "I remember he also left a manuscript with me, but it was so long that I forgot where I put it. , you can ask Tata to help find it."
When she heard that there was a manuscript of the Elixir of Fortune, Kangna immediately forgot about Kyle deliberately concealing Nico's identity, and couldn't wait to follow Tata to the private library in the manor.
"Thank you." Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a piece of cake." Nico said with a smile.
Kyle walked to sit next to him and asked curiously: "Nico, do you really have Zygmunt Bach's manuscript?"
"Of course, I helped him with the idea when he was researching the luck potion." Nico said, "It was my idea to add the blood of a three-month-old unicorn into it, which just helped him solve the problem of the potion not being able to cool down. question."
Kyle smacked his lips. Only then did he remember that the ancient potion used to soak the Horcruxes was made by Nico. This shows that he must also be proficient in potions.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that for a wizard who has lived for more than 600 years, there is almost nothing he can't do.
It's just that Nico's achievements in alchemy are so great that people often subconsciously ignore his other abilities.
Kyle also followed his example and lay down on the chair.
