Chapter 393: A Solo Journey Home
Hagrid's voice boomed through the room, and Kyle noticed Professor McGonagall glance around anxiously, as if she didn't want the other students overhearing this conversation from over a decade ago—especially here, in this very place. Professor McGonagall paused for what felt like a long time.
Kyle quickly pretended not to notice and focused on eating his meat pie.
"Hagrid, please! Keep your voice down," Professor McGonagall urged.
But her caution seemed to go unheeded. Hagrid could still hear her, even when she tried to lower her voice.
"And he wanted me to hand Harry over to him, that scum... Lucky for Harry, I refused—Dumbledore had already ordered me to take him to his aunt and uncle's..."
"Hagrid!" Professor McGonagall shot him another irritated glance.
Just then, Kanna chimed in, "Kyle, let's go find Cho and Cedric."
"They've probably finished their conversation by now. Plus, I need to stop by Madam Puddifoot's Teahouse to pick up something."
"Looks like we're on the same page," Kyle said, standing up. He was about to pay for his drink when Kanna slipped two Galleons onto the table first.
"You..."
Kyle began to protest, but Kanna grabbed his arm, gently pulling him away from the bar before he could get another word out.
