Chapter 996: Decision (I)
Chapter 996: Decision (I)
At the entrance of the Great Hall, near the corridor leading to the underground classrooms, Snape had been standing there for quite some time.
It wasn't until Professor Saxia approached that he quickly walked up to her.
Saxia saw him too, but she didn't stop. She hurriedly left a sentence, "Perfect, no changes at all," as she passed by, and then quickly left the castle.
Snape stood in place, his face constantly changing, with both disappointment and relief...
The lack of change in the Enchanting Potion meant that the relationship between Kyle and Conna remained as stable as ever.
After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to have let go, silently turned around, and returned to the underground classroom.
Hogwarts Castle quieted down once again.
However, Kyle and Conna were unaware of this, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Astronomy Tower.
Directly opposite was the Quidditch Stadium, but now it was empty, with only a few owls perched on the goalposts.
"Where is Professor Saxia going?" Kyle asked, looking at the figure below.
"I don't know." Conna shook her head, "Maybe she's going back to St. Mungo's. She mentioned earlier that the successful brewing of the Amplifying Elixir was important, and it's necessary to record the entire process."
"Even this needs to be recorded?"
"Of course, it's very important information." Conna said.
"Alright." Kyle nodded, turning to look at Conna.
He had received Hagrid's letter after dinner, and it was already late at night.
On this rare clear day, moonlight pierced through the clouds, casting a silver halo on Conna's wine-red hair, radiating a beautiful glow.
And up close, he could smell a faint herbal scent.
Kyle felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the topic Mrs. Weasley had been talking about the most recently.
Wedding...
"Conna." Kyle suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong?" Conna turned her head.
"Nothing... Oh, no." Kyle shook his head, "It's just that I just thought of a way to solve Sirius's idea of using gold to make invitations."
"How?" Conna asked excitedly.
"It's like this," Kyle whispered, "Mrs. Weasley has been talking to me about the wedding lately..." "She told me that Sirius found a fairy to turn the gold into invitations, but as we all know, fairies are not known for their efficiency. If we can catch him off guard..."
Upon hearing this, Conna's eyes suddenly became unfocused, as if she had already guessed Kyle's idea.
And the next second, her eyes became firm, looking at Kyle intently, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
"Conna, I think..."
"Bang!"
An untimely sound suddenly interrupted Kyle's words.
Kyle was startled for a moment, then took a deep breath, turned around, and drew his wand...
Deliberately causing trouble at this moment!
Kyle had already made up his mind. No matter who it was that made the noise, even if it was Snape, he would have to pay...
"Ni, Niko..."
Kyle blinked as he saw Niko Lemer suddenly appear behind them.
A second later, he quickly put away the wand in his hand.
"Niko, how..."
"It seems I miscalculated the time." Niko looked at Kyle, his tone carrying a hint of apology, "According to the plan, I should have appeared when you decided to get married, but my eagerness seemed to have affected the speed of the Pere Number, causing me to appear here earlier."
"Sorry, please continue." He took small steps, trying to turn away and move a little deeper into the corridor.
At his feet, a house-elf named Tata, dressed in a tuxedo, strained his neck to peek at them.
"Alright," Kyle shrugged, "It seems Niko has already told you what I want to do. If we hold the wedding tomorrow, Sirius won't have enough time to make the gold invitations."
"That's right." Conna couldn't help but laugh, "Niko also told you my answer."
The distance between the two was getting closer, and Conna closed her eyes as Kyle gently kissed her lips.
A fleeting touch.
There was no other way, as the house-elf was nearby. Kyle sighed as he looked at Niko, who had just left and was replaced by curiosity.
"Can you tell me how you knew? Was it the crystal ball?" Kyle asked.
"Not this time. The crystal ball can't predict such things." Niko took small steps to turn around and extended his hand, pointing at Conna's wrist.
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Kyle instinctively lowered his head.
Then he noticed that the Phoenix bracelet on Conna's wrist seemed to come alive, dragging a long tail, connecting her wrist to his.
"This is..."
"Perenelle reminded me to prepare in advance, so even if you don't invite us to your wedding, we can still know."
"I think she made a lot of sense."
Niko smiled and tried harder to come over.
Kyle stood there in silence.
To be honest, he had never thought of inviting Niko Lemer to his wedding with Conna.
The reason is simple.
Since just now, Niko Lemer has not moved more than two feet away, and with his fragile bones, Kyle is really afraid to take him to crowded places.
If he is accidentally bumped into and falls to the ground, the greatest alchemist in the world might turn into a jigsaw puzzle.
The original is in Book 6, Chapter 9.
But Kyle never expected Niko to set an alarm and come over.
Is he that free?
However, in these centuries, he has never heard of anyone who could invite Niko Lemer.
Kyle was full of doubts.
"That's great." Niko didn't care what Kyle was thinking, "It will be lively then, I haven't been to such a lively event in a long time.
"Kid, you won't refuse an old man's request, will you?"
"Of course..." Kyle really wanted to say this.
Although Niko often takes time off to leave the estate and travel elsewhere, or go to the opera, those places are too familiar to Niko and there is no danger.
And there won't be half-giant hybrids or twin brothers who throw fireworks at each other in the opera house.
But now that Niko has come, it's not possible to send him away.
And that old man, he is... well, he is indeed a hundred years old, after all, six hundred years is not up yet, and he is still in the category of a hundred years old, just with a prefix.
"Are you serious?" Niko suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.
"Of course." Kyle nodded, his expression serious.
"Actually, I had this idea on the day of the proposal, but we had other things to do at that time, and now it's just right."
Conna walked over and gently linked arms with Kyle, her actions speaking louder than words.
"How wonderful." Niko looked at the couple in front of him with delight, and he couldn't help but think of the first time he met Perenelle.
... It had been too long, and his memory was a bit hazy. He only remembered that it was his happiest day, even happier than the day he created the Philosopher's Stone.
"Oh, Perenelle wants to make a new set of clothes, so she might come tomorrow.
"Ah..." Kyle tugged at the corners of his mouth.
He almost forgot that besides Niko, there was another "old man" coming.
If possible, he really wished he could hold the wedding with Conna right now.
Of course, this was just a thought, and even if Conna agreed, Niko probably wouldn't.
"Alright." Kyle said helplessly, "I'll go to the Owlery now."
Although he wanted to surprise Sirius, some people still needed to be invited.
The owl was the best choice.
But just as he took two steps, a house-elf in a tuxedo stopped him.
"No need, you don't have to do anything." Niko waved his hand, "Just give me the list, and I can help with the rest... consider it as compensation for interrupting you earlier."
"I guarantee you won't be disappointed."
For some reason, Kyle suddenly didn't want Niko to help.
"You need to go home now and tell your family about this, so they can also prepare."
Hearing Niko's words, Kyle hesitated again.
His decision was made in haste, and he did need to inform Chris and Diana as soon as possible.
Moreover, Diana was in the Department of Mysteries, not easy to meet, and if time was delayed due to sending messages, someone might get angry.
"Well, alright then..." After a moment of hesitation, Kyle agreed to let Niko help.
After all, he had lived for six hundred years and should be more reliable than Sirius... right?
...
