Hagrid's voice was loud, and Kyle noticed that Professor McGonagall was looking around a little nervously, as if she didn't want the other students to hear about what had happened more than a decade ago.

Especially in the place where they were, Professor McGonagall paused for the longest time.

Kyle immediately pretended to be nonchalant and ate the barbecue pie.

"Hagrid, please! Lower your voice. Professor McGonagall said.

But her reminder didn't do much.

Hagrid's voice was deliberately muffled, but he could still hear it clearly.

"He also told me to hand Harry over to him, that scum...... Thankfully, I refused, as I had Dumbledore's order to take Harry to his aunt's house......"

"Hagrid!"

Professor McGonagall glanced over again, a slight irritation in her voice.

"Kyle, let's go find Cho and Cedric."

At this point, Connor suddenly said, "They should have finished talking, and I'm going to Lady Padiff's teahouse to buy something." ”

"Looks like we're thinking about it together." Kyle stood up, and was about to pull out the money when Connor had already placed two Galleons on the table first.

"You ......"

Kyle was about to say something, but was pulled out of the bar by Connor.

It wasn't until he came to the road that Connor smiled and said, "You invited me to coffee before, but this time I'll invite you." ”

"No ......"

Kyle pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I mean you give too much money, those things are one galleon and five cico, why do you want to give two gallons." ”

"Huh?" Connor was a little sluggish, "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"You've got to give me a chance, too." Kyle spread his hands.

Just as Connor was hesitating to go back, Cedric and Cho happened to come running from not far away.

"Hey, where did you guys go!"

After seeing Kyle and Connor, Cho immediately asked dissatisfied.

They were talking about whether or not to go on an expedition to the Screaming Shack, only to find that there were only two cups of undrunk coffee left on the table, but the two who came with them were gone.

"I went to almost all the shops, but I couldn't find you." Cedric said.

"Here we are, three broomsticks." Kyle said, "I'm guessing you haven't been." ”

Cedric was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't been here.

"But didn't you just drink coffee?"

"It's so sweet." Kyle shrugged, "Butterbeer is more to our liking." ”

Cedric pursed his lips, as if that was indeed the case...... Strange, he hadn't noticed that the coffee was so sweet.

Interrupted like this, Connor was embarrassed to ask for the rest of the change, and followed them forward with a distressed face.

Later, several people found Fred and George in Jokowi and went to the screaming shack together.

Going there for an expedition, which was planned a long time ago.

But when they actually arrived, they found that it wasn't as interesting as the legend suggests.

When they unlocked the door, they realized that it was just a room that had not been inhabited for a long time.

The wallpaper was peeling, a thick layer of dust was falling on the floor, and the furniture was all broken, as if someone had smashed it.

"The legend is really unreliable."

Fred kicked a broken stool away in disappointment, "Those residents must have wanted to attract more tourists to come and make up the legend that this place howls at night." ”

"In my opinion, it's just an empty room that hasn't been lived in for a long time."

George reached out and touched the table, "Look at the ashes, apparently no one has been here in years. ”

"Could it be a ghost?" Autumn asked.

"Hogwarts is the place where the ghosts are most common, when have you seen them howl?" "And ghosts can't smash these homes." ”

He picked up a broken stool leg from the ground and knocked it twice.

"I guess someone must have deliberately wreaked havoc here to make those weird noises."

I looked forward to it for several days, but I didn't expect it to be so disappointing in the end, and the mediocre screaming shack also made them lose the desire to continue shopping.

After leaving here, they went straight back to the castle.

Kyle walked behind and re-hung the lock on the door.

It was still early in the morning and the castle was quiet.

Filch stood in the foyer, staring at them...... To be precise, it should be staring at Fred and George.

When they came out of Jokowi, their pockets were bulging, apparently with a lot of good stuff.

Filch walked over.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to check ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Fred and George suddenly picked up speed, sprang past the side, and disappeared into the foyer.

"Stop!" Filch shouted angrily, "Stop! ”

At the roar of Filch, the quiet castle immediately came alive.

……

When it was time for dinner, everyone got together and began to discuss the plans for the holiday.

"What did you say?!" Cedric looked at Kyle and said incredulously, "You're not spending Christmas at Hogwarts this year?" ”

For the previous three years, Kyle had always stayed in school for Christmas, and Cedric thought it would be the same this year.

For this reason, he also wrote a letter to his father for a month, and wrote his name on the list of students who stayed at the school two days ago.

Originally, he wanted to surprise Kyle, but he didn't expect this product to come home this year!

Deliberately do it!

"yes." Kyle didn't know what he was thinking, and said calmly, "I can't stay here for Christmas." ”

"I ......"

Cedric was about to speak, but Cho, who sneaked over next to him, suddenly said,

"It's a pity, I thought someone could be a companion."

"You're not going back this year?" Kyle asked.

"yes." Cho nodded, "My dad wrote to me two days ago that they were going out for a while at Christmas, so I had to stay at school. ”

"That's right." Kyle nodded, then looked at Cedric again, "What did you just want to say?" ”

"Oh, nothing."

Cedric calmly took a sip of pumpkin juice, "I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas, and besides, I also chose to stay in school this year, so I can't go back with you." ”

"You're staying in school too?" Kyle raised an eyebrow, "Mr. Diggory agreed?" Or is it a decision you just made? ”

"I signed the list of students who stayed in school two days ago." Cedric said.

"Me too." Connor laughed and said to Cho, "We can go to the library together and do our homework together during the holidays." ”

Kyle suddenly discovers that this year's holiday season seems to be all the way around, and it seems that everyone but himself has chosen to stay at the school, including Fred and George.

They're working on a new quick-fix truancy candy that will be easily spotted by Mrs. Weasley when they get home.
