Chapter Ninety-Three: The Last
Although Quidditch is the most popular sport at Hogwarts, not all young wizards choose to watch the game.
There were a few more people in the common rooms of each house, the least of which were Gryffindors, about five or six, and the largest Ravenclaw of a dozen.
Most of these were fifth- or seventh-year students, and the pressure of exams made it impossible for them to bother with Quidditch.
When they have this time, they obviously prefer to stay in the library, or read a book in a cozy lounge.
Kyle looked over the Hufflepuff common room.
The depiction of the dormitory area on the map is not as detailed as in other places, except for a brief distinction between men and women.
All seven grades are together, separated from the adjacent common room by a thin line of ink.
Kyle wrote down the names of everyone in the Hufflepuff Lounge.
There are not many of them, only six.
After remembering, Kyle wanted to close the map and continue watching the game, but under the influence of a mysterious force, he looked into the location of the underground classroom, and found Snape's private storage room nearby.
Kyle swears he definitely didn't want to go there and steal (cross out...... The idea of taking something, at least not for now.
Admittedly, there were quite a few treasures in Snape's private pantry, but Kyle was more interested in spells at the moment, and the potion materials weren't very appealing to him.
But now that he's seen it all, Kyle also made a note of the route to get there, as well as the entrances and exits of the secret passages around him.
Pure curiosity, nothing else.
Anyway, there's nothing else to do now, and being idle is also idle.
"Look, Cedric is speeding up!"
At this moment, a deafening cheer suddenly came from all around.
Kyle quickly closed the map and tapped it with his wand again.
"The prank is over."
The ink line faded, and the map took on the shape of ordinary parchment.
On the Quidditch pitch, Cedric was swooping down from mid-air at breakneck speed.
"It's the Golden Snitch!"
The commentator excitedly shouted, "It's right next to the Slytherin goalpost, less than twenty feet above the ground!" ”
"Higgs saw it too, and he accelerated!"
The two Seekers rushed towards the Golden Snitch one after the other, and the atmosphere in the stands was solemn, and everyone was watching them nervously.
After a few seconds......
"It's Cedric!"
The narrator shouted at the top of his voice, "Cedric Diggory, the youngest Seeker has caught the Golden Snitch!" ”
The stands were boiling, and a large number of yellow flags and reinforcements were thrown into the air.
"We won, we won!" The surrounding badgers screamed excitedly and hugged each other.
"Thank you Hufflepuff for a great Quidditch match."
……
An hour later, Cedric was carried back to the common room by a group of excited Hufflepuff students, in the words of the Quidditch players, a hero's treat.
However, to Kyle, he looks more like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
The post-victory celebration was essential, and that evening, a few senior students went to the kitchen to bring a whole bunch of good food, and soon the common room was filled with all kinds of delicious steaks and biscuits.
"Kyle, where did you just go?" Connor walked over with a large piece of bone-in steak and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't I see you when the game ended?" ”
"I'm going to the bathroom." Kyle said.
"It's a pity." Connor whispered, "You're missing the best part. ”
Kyle laughed and said, "Not really, I came back just in time to see Cedric catch the Golden Snitch." ”
"That's good." Connor smiled and took a bite into the steak, then a happy expression.
Kyle looked at her and asked suspiciously, "I'm going to sleep in a while, is it okay for you to eat so much now?" ”
The movement of Connor's hand suddenly stopped, and her expression became a little stiff. She tilted her head and whispered, "I...... I didn't eat much for dinner. ”
"Is that so?" Kyle frowned, "But how do I remember dinner...... Forget it, maybe I'm misremembering. ”
Connor breathed a sigh of relief, and without waiting for Kyle to say anything more, he quickly found an excuse to leave.
Everyone was happy, but what they didn't know was that this banquet could be said to be their last.
Because the final exams are just around the corner.
The professors were assigning more and more homework, and they were running out of time for the next game of wizarding chess.
Far from being as fun as Christmas, the Easter holidays are mostly chosen to stay in school.
There was so much homework, the blank parchment piled up like a hill, and they had to stay in the library almost every day, sighing, yawning, and desperately trying to complete the heavy work.
In addition to this, they are required to memorize the "must-haves" mentioned by the professors, as well as practice wand movements.
It's a holiday, but you can always hear the little wizards complaining in the hallway.
"I'll never remember this!" Halfway through the holiday, Mikel finally couldn't stand it anymore, threw the quill, and said angrily: "Who discovered the twelve uses of fire dragon blood, this is too much, I can't remember it at all!" ”
"Dumbledore."
Kyle, who was sitting across from him, said without looking up, "Do you want to duel him?" It's a good note indeed, and if you can beat him up, Professor Snape won't let him carry this stuff again. ”
“……”
Mikel paused for a moment, then reached out and retrieved the quill, "What is the twelfth purpose of the fire dragon's blood...... That's right, for furnace cleaners.
It's not that hard to remember, I should have been serious. ”
Kyle smiled and didn't speak.
An hour later, he also put down his quill and closed his book A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms.
"Kyle, are you done with all your homework?"
Mikel and Ryan looked up sharply like two sniffers who had spotted Jin Garon.
Kyle moved his shoulders and nodded, "Well, I'm done." ”
Mikel's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly, "Can you ...... Lend it to us for reference. ”
“…… Okay. ”
Kyle didn't refuse outright this time as he had before, and after a moment's hesitation, he pushed the homework to them.
The main thing is that he remembers that Mikel and Ryan have already done a lot of homework, although not much, but a third of them must have been.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the possibility of copying the homework, and it doesn't matter if you lend it to them.
In addition, the homework for the Easter holiday is indeed a bit much.
However, to be on the safe side, Kyle cautioned, "Remember, you can't copy it. ”
"Don't worry." Mikel patted his chest decisively and said, "We don't make the same mistake twice." ”
