Chapter 146: Lost Harry and a Packet of Cat Food

If it was just to add a class, Professor McGonagall would not refuse, but the class would be changed...... Seriously, Kyle doesn't think it's likely.

But looking at Fred and George's hopeful looks, he just shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.

Let them try, and if Professor McGonagall is in a good mood today, she might agree.

The first class of the year was still Charms, and after leaving the Great Hall, Kyle said goodbye to the Weasley brothers and Cedric and went to the fourth floor of the castle alone.

As he walks to the second floor, Kyle suddenly sees two freshmen spinning down the stairs.

Harry and Ron.

They wandered around the two false staircases and kept wandering around the second floor, in a hurry.

Kyle looked at it for a moment, and then couldn't help but say, "What are you doing...... Exercising? ”

Ron jerked his head and pulled Harry as if he had seen a savior.

"We're going to the Transfiguration class, but we're getting lost." He asked breathlessly, "Can you tell us how to get there?" ”

"Come with me." Kyle said, "It just so happens that I'm going to the fourth floor too." ”

"Thank goodness!" Ron grimaced with a relaxed expression.

"Thank you, thank you." Harry gave Kyle a stiff look.

"It's nothing, it's just a stopper."

Kyle led the two to the right staircase and asked, confused, "Didn't you all buy the Hogwarts map?" ”

Hearing this, Ron's face turned red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head and didn't speak.

Harry also said with some embarrassment, "Twenty Galleons is too expensive, I, we can't afford it." ”

Although he had piles of gold in his coffers, he didn't take much with him to school this time, and after deducting the money for wands and books, he had just two dozen Galleons left.

It's just started school, and the days ahead are still long, so Harry naturally doesn't want to spend all his money on maps.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Kyle led them around a corner and said, "There are two kinds of maps, besides the twenty Galleon ones, and a cheap version of the Ten Galleons...... Why, didn't Fred and George tell you? ”

Harry and Ron were stunned at the same time.

When Kyle said this, Harry suddenly remembered that there was indeed a leaflet about the map on the door of the common room.

It's just that he and Ron subconsciously thought that it was the kind they saw on the train, and they didn't look closely.

Thinking of this, Harry's face suddenly wrinkled, and his heart was full of remorse.

If only he could have taken a closer look at it at the time, he could still afford ten sicos.

"It's here, the Transfiguration class is over there."

Once on the fourth floor, Kyle pointed in one direction, then took something out of his pocket and shoved it into Harry's hand.

"This is a greeting gift."

Harry looked down and realized that he had two more maps in his hand, as well as a pack of ...... Dried fish?

"What is this?" Ron asked.

"Looks like pet cat food." Harry said, "Does Kyle have a cat?" ”

Ron thought for a moment and said, "He does have one at home. ”

Harry hurriedly looked up and shouted, "Kyle, you gave us an extra pack of cat food!" ”

"I've got you guys too!"

Kyle seemed to be in a hurry to get to class, and said without looking back, "I have a lot of that stuff, you can take it back and give it to the owl." ”

As he spoke, he turned a corner and disappeared at the end of the hallway.

This......

Harry took the bag of dried fish and stood there stunned.

"Let's go, Harry, it's going to be class."

Ron pulled him abruptly and said in a hurried tone, "That's Professor McGonagall's class, so we'd better not be late." ”

"Okay, okay."

Harry, who came to his senses, put the dried fish in his pocket and ran after Ron to the other side.

By this time, Kyle had already walked into the Charms classroom.

In the first lesson of the new school year, Professor Flitwick did not immediately teach the new content, but took them through the spells they had learned last year.

He spent half a lesson, checking everyone's levitation and softening charms, until he was sure that most people were proficient in casting them, and then returned to the high platform where the books had been built.

"Today we're going to learn about the Universal Spellbreaker, which removes the effects of ordinary spells...... Watch my movements, swing my wand firmly, and speak clearly...... Stop! ”

After the Charms class, Kyle goes back to the history of magic.

In the afternoon, there were two Sessions in a row for Snape's Potions class.

Just like last year, Snape still didn't give Kyle a good look.

"Who told you to talk to each other while you were brewing potions?"

Snape stood next to Kyle and said with a gloomy face, "Don't affect others if you don't learn, Hufflepuff deducts a point." ”

Then he looked at Connor again.

"The lion's bones are handled well, Hufflepuff adds one point."

Kyle looked at Snape with a calm expression.

He has long been accustomed to the professor's double-standard behavior, and compared to the previous situation when he started with five points, this year is not bad.

……

The first day of the new school year passed like this, and although some of the lessons were not very pleasant, they were generally very fulfilling.

Night.

The library on the second floor of the castle was very quiet, there was no sound, and the tall bookshelves blocked the moonlight through the windows, making it seem much darker than the rest of the place.

"Squeaky ......"

At this moment, the door suddenly opened a slit, just wide enough for a person to walk in.

"Treading ......"

When the door closed again, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the library.

"Tsk, Filch must be too dedicated."

Kyle lifted the illusion spell and patted his chest with some trepidation.

As he was on the stairs, Filch suddenly burst out of a corner and almost brushed his shoulder.

Kyle also noticed that Lady Loris stopped inexplicably as she passed by him, and glanced in his direction suspiciously.

Kyle reckons that it must have noticed something unusual, but he's not sure for sure.

Fortunately, Filch seemed to be chasing someone at the time, and at his urging, Mrs. Loris soon left.

"It seems that it is not safe to only use the illusion charm when traveling at night, so I have to find out if there is any kind of spell that can cover the smell."

Kyle froze, and walked straight to the forbidden area.

He remembered the book detailing Horcruxes, which seemed to be called "Cutting-Edge Dark Magic Revealed".

Kyle suddenly felt a little headache.

Although the forbidden area occupies only a small part of the library, there are almost thousands of books.

Without using magic, it is not easy to find the book "Secret of Cutting-edge Black Magic" from here.

"Hopefully I'll find it tonight."

Kyle sighed, then lit his wand and stepped into the rows of bookshelves.
