Chapter 297: The Sneaky Trio
Back at the castle, Kyle and the others make their way through the crowded hallways, ready to go to the next Transfiguration class.
In the past two days, in almost all classes, people have asked about the secret room.
But the other professors were not as eloquent as Professor Sprout.
In Transfiguration, a Gryffindor raised her hand in between Professor McGonagall's lectures, but she was mercilessly interrupted as she said the words "Chamber of Secrets".
"Gryffindor deducts ten."
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said, "Miss Bell, I would like you to pay more attention to your results than to the ethereal legends.
If I remember correctly, you still haven't turned a button into a beetle...... Don't forget that this was our first lesson, and now Halloween is over.
If you continue like this, you will probably not even get a P (pass) in the exam. ”
Gryffindor's Katie Bell turned red at the words and sat back with her head bowed.
With her lessons learned, others will naturally not find themselves unhappy.
Of course, this is just Gryffindor students...... Hufflepuff is different.
They had just learned the truth from Professor Sprout, and they didn't need to ask Professor McGonagall again.
Looking at those classmates who were still kept in the dark, the little badgers suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of superiority in their hearts.
Gryffindor students, that's it......
When it was time for class to end, Kyle was going straight to the auditorium to the first floor for lunch...... But as soon as he reached the first floor, he heard a rapid "crackling" sound overhead.
These sounds were all too familiar to him, they were the explosions of those props when they were triggered in the myrtle bathroom.
Without hesitation, Kyle turned around and ran upstairs, pulling out his wand and chest as fast as he could.
"Is it the one with the diary, or ...... Basilisk! Kyle was nervous.
It's easy to say if it's a human, but if it's a basilisk...... I don't know if it listens to itself.
If you don't listen...... Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon Noble can't deal with it.
With this mixed feeling, Kyle scurries all the way to the hallway where Myrtle's bathroom is located.
But when he arrived, he was suddenly stunned. Because the people who appeared at the door of the bathroom were all acquaintances.
"Harry, Hermione, Ron?" Kyle subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?" ”
The three of them seemed to be stunned by the series of explosions, and only suddenly reacted when they heard Kyle's voice.
Harry turned around and said hesitantly, "We'...... Just passing by...... Yes, passing by! ”
As he spoke, Kyle noticed Hermione holding a large, moldy book.
After noticing Kyle's gaze, she immediately hid the book behind her back...... The four words of being a thief are almost written on the face.
Although she moves quickly, Kyle still sees the word "potion", and if he guesses correctly, it should be "Potion of Power".
A high-end potions book, and he had an identical hand-copied copy in his box.
Kyle didn't care, he looked at the dark faces of the three of them, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that it's not a basilisk.
"Whether it's passing by or whatever, I think you should run quickly." Kyle said, "We've just finished our Transfiguration class, and Professor McGonagall probably hasn't gone far. ”
"Professor McGonagall?!"
The three of them were like cats whose tails had been stepped on, and they almost jumped in fright.
"If she finds out we've blown up the bathroom......"
"Ron, we didn't blow up the bathroom!" Hermione corrected, "We just opened the door, not even walked in. ”
"I know, but Professor McGonagall doesn't!"
"Don't say it, let's run!"
Probably with the lesson of last Halloween, the three of them did not hesitate and ran away.
As they pass by Kyle, they don't forget to thank him.
"Thanks for the reminder, Kyle."
"Let's go first!"
The three of them reached the stairs as fast as they could, and began to run in the direction of the Gryffindor Tower.
Just as they turned the corner, on the other side of the hallway, a tabby cat jumped lightly onto the handrail next to it, its amber eyes looking around, and soon spotted Kyle and the messy bathroom.
The tabby cat then jumped off the handrail and took on the form of Professor McGonagall in midair.
"So it's ...... here"
She hurried to the bathroom, "Oh my God, what's going on here, is anyone practicing the Demolition Charm?" ”
Kyle leaned over as well.
I have to say, Professor McGonagall is exaggerating.
In the bathroom, there was no damage to the walls, ceiling, and hallway of the entrance, except for the blackened smoke of the surrounding walls.
After all, the "explosive textbook" is Jokowi's joke tool, and in addition to the fact that the movement is a little bigger, the lethality can be said to be almost zero.
Otherwise, Kyle wouldn't have dared to put them in the school.
Professor McGonagall soon noticed this, but she was still angry.
"Professor McGonagall, I only came here when I heard the movement." Kyle preemptively said.
Professor McGonagall looked at him and nodded.
"Were there any other people here when you came?"
"There are three." Kyle pointed in the direction of the stairs and said, "They happened to run down the stairs when I came. ”
"Who is it?" Professor McGonagall asked, pursing her lips.
Kyle gestured to the dark wall, "Their faces were the same as this one, and they couldn't see them clearly. ”
Professor McGonagall looked at the wall of the bathroom, and then at the three clear humanoid silhouettes in the blackened hallway of the doorway, as if she had thought of something, and a faint smile appeared on her otherwise serious face.
"It's Jokowi's stuff again......"
She didn't bother to chase Harry and the others anymore, but took out her wand, restored the bathroom to its original state, and then chased away the people around her.
The movement just now attracted a lot of students who were watching the excitement, and they thought that someone else had been attacked like Filch.
During this process, Myrtle was silent as if it didn't exist, and it wasn't until Professor McGonagall left that she cautiously poked out her transparent head.
"Three nasty people were driven away...... I didn't expect what you put in to be really useful. ”
"Or what do you think it is?" Kyle, who had turned back halfway, looked at Myrtle and whispered.
"Old books you don't want...... "Will you put new ones in them?" said Myrtle. ”
"Of course."
The last time he went to Hogsmeade, Kyle bought a lot of things at Jokowi, including the "Exploding Textbook".
Although there are only two copies, judging from the movement just now, these are enough.
……
By the time Kyle returned to the Great Hall, lunch had already begun, and Professor McGonagall was seated in the guest of honor, talking to Professor Flitwick.
Harry and the three came a little later, walking in halfway through lunch with their heads down.
They all changed their clothes and walked with their shaggy and messy hair.
At the guest of honor, Professor McGonagall gave them a thoughtful look.
……
"Tomorrow is a Quidditch match."
Nearby, Harris was talking to Cedric, "Gryffindor and Slytherin, we can just take a look at the power of those broomsticks, and their new Seeker." ”
Harris was referring to Draco Malfoy, who alone was the newcomer.
Cedric nodded, "I'll take notice." ”
'Hopefully he's a team that got into the team because of those broomsticks, not a talent like Graham Potter.' Harris said with some hope.
Seven brand new Halo 2001 would be enough, if you added a good Seeker...... The other three teams didn't play at all.
