Sirius, being rich and generous, directly pulled a group of people to the ready-to-wear clothing store, declaring grandly that he would pay for everyone's purchases.
Kayson, who was looking at a Mithril belt buckle, twitched his ear and naturally switched to a Peridot belt buckle.
Sirius's mouth twitched as he watched this scene: "Well, about that..." Before he could finish, Kayson quickly took off the belt buckle and placed it in front of Sirius.
"Uh-huh, go pay for it."
".....O.....K....."
After stiffly paying the bill, Sirius looked at the other Little Wizards. He had to admit, compared to Kayson, these Little Wizards were much cuter. Ron only picked the simplest and cheapest style, and the other Little Wizards just casually chose an accessory that wasn't outrageously priced, unlike Kayson...
Tsk tsk tsk...
Comparing oneself to others is a recipe for disaster...
Soon, the Little Wizards, mainly Ron, had finished buying what they needed. Sirius coolly paid the bill. After they walked out, he pulled out his wand, subtly put it to his mouth, muttered for a while, then flicked his wand, and a small string of information flew into the clothing store.
"Next, Ron, you just need to wait. They will send the robes directly to Hogwarts before you need them."
Ron nodded gratefully but said nothing.
The group returned to Privet Drive, while Kayson directly used Ender Teleportation to return to Hogwarts.
Unlike Sirius, as a responsible Professor, he still needed to prepare his lesson plans for the semester in advance...
Well, actually, when he went back to Baker Street just now, he saw a damned dump truck directly crashing into his living room. It would be easy for him to repair it himself, just a few hours, but that would be a bit too conspicuous.
So he had no choice but to once again entrust the responsibility of looking after the house to Sherlock's... roommate... Mr. John Watson.
"Yes, please keep that lock safe for me. Reinstall it on the door later, and don't let Sherlock open any strange small doors or anything..."
Anyway, that's what he told John Watson when he tearfully bid farewell to the house.
Once again, he returned to Hogwarts early... At this time, there were only three living people in all of Hogwarts: himself, Hagrid, and Filch. As for Dumbledore, before his office exploded, he was always in a quantum superposition of being at Hogwarts and traveling, making him very difficult to find.
What was even more frustrating was that Hagrid was self-sufficient in his hut, but Hagrid's cooking skills were truly nothing to praise.
On the other side, Filch could also be considered a socially anxious guy; he always ate in his office.
Thus, Kayson, who could only eat all three meals alone, helplessly let out that exasperated sound.
"Let school start soon!"
Merlin seemed to have heard his prayer, or perhaps it wasn't Merlin, but some strange god, like the Emperor, Azathoth... or even the Omnissiah.
In any case, under Kayson's prayer, the Little Wizards once again boarded the small train back to Hogwarts.
Choo-choo-choo...
The first wave of Little Wizards returning to school pushed open the Great Hall doors and then stepped into a large pit, almost falling in.
After finally climbing out, they didn't even have time to look at the damned pit that tripped them, but instead stared blankly at the ceiling of the Great Hall.
A giant gyroscope was spinning rapidly there, as if maintaining something.
"W-what the? What is this?"
"Little Wizards, no swearing! And please lift your foot."
Kayson, wearing a hard hat, crawled out of the hole with a somewhat resentful expression. The Little Wizards looked bewildered: "Professor? What are you doing in this hole? And that soft thing I just stepped on..."
"Nothing, you didn't step on anything. Just go wait for dinner."
After Kayson quickly fooled the Little Wizards away, he jumped out of the hole and re-covered it with a stone slab.
"Kayson... I can only say that if you can't fill all the pits and holes before the feast begins... you'll have your salary docked. This is not a joke," Professor McGonagall said sternly.
"Oh, I'm doing this for the great cause of making Hogwarts stand tall! Don't you want to, one day, if Hogwarts is attacked, you can grandly wave your wand and shout 'Hogwarts, mobilize!'?" Kayson explained.
Professor McGonagall's expression was somewhat hesitant: "That's true, but we still need to maintain a good image in front of the new students. Actually, the new students don't need to worry; they will study here for seven years, and they will eventually know the excellent heritage of Hogwarts. But the problem is that Dumbledore found a foreign Wizard to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor this semester."
"He seems to be from Germany. If he sees our Hogwarts Great Hall looking so pitted and uneven, Hogwarts will lose face!" Professor McGonagall said worriedly.
"OK... OK...." A drop of cold sweat unconsciously trickled down Kayson's forehead. This wasn't because of the pits in the Great Hall, but because Professor McGonagall didn't even know who this new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor was... Dumbledore hadn't told her!
Then one thing became very interesting. He could already imagine Professor McGonagall looking at a strange old man with an awkward but polite smile, and then Dumbledore revealing the old man's true identity....
He might even get to see a full-on brawl between two Transfiguration masters then....
Whose side would he take then?
Hmm... Dumbledore introduced him to the magic world, and also gave him many good things, helped him with his lawsuit against the Ministry of Magic, and treated him like a son.... Whose side to take? It's really hard to choose...
He'll just help Professor McGonagall! Because the other old geezer naturally has someone else to help him.
Kayson continued to happily repair all aspects inside and outside the Castle, because it wasn't just Professor McGonagall... he also had a reputation to uphold.....
