After leaving the corridor on the eighth floor, the two prepared to go down the stairs back to the common room.

But the next second, Kyle suddenly sees Professor McGonagall coming out of the Gryffindor common room.

It wasn't surprising that Professor McGonagall was the head of Gryffindor, so of course she would be here.

Kyle, however, notices that she is still holding a fine broom in her hand.

The streamlined ash handle, as well as the slightly upturned birch branches at the end, all indicate its identity......

The fastest broom in the world, a fire bolt.

Professor McGonagall looked beaming, with an undisguised smile on her face.

"Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall." Kyle said, and Connor on the side said hello.

"Good afternoon...... Professor McGonagall nodded, smiling and asked, "Did you see Potter?" I have good news for him. ”

"Nope." Kyle said, "We've been practicing the Patronus Charm in the empty classroom just now, and we haven't noticed what's going on outside. ”

"Well, how's that going?" Professor McGonagall looked at Connor.

She had already heard from some Hufflepuff students that the jellyfish Patronus at the Quidditch field last time was summoned by Kyle, so naturally she wouldn't bother to ask him.

"It's not close." Connor said, pulling out her wand.

"Divine Guard!"

A fist-sized cloud of silver light flew out of her wand and began to dance around Connor.

"Oh, it's you who expect too much from yourself." Professor McGonagall was surprised, "For a fourteen-year-old student, being able to summon a Patronus Prototype is a remarkable achievement.

Also, you can't just look at Kyle and feel like you're not doing well, that's inaccurate. ”

Professor McGonagall seemed to be in a really good mood, not only giving Connor full affirmation, but even making a little joke to comfort her.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, the Patronus Charm won't appear on the exam, and you won't need it for ......the time being."

Professor McGonagall said, "Professor Dumbledore has taken care of everything, and unless Sirius Black is traced, the Dementors will never set foot in the castle again." ”

Connor nodded.

After Professor McGonagall left, she turned to look at Kyle and whispered, "Looks like we're going to have a tough fight next week." ”

"yes." Kyle scratched at his hair.

Professor McGonagall showed up in the Gryffindor common room with a firebow bolt and was looking for Harry, apparently trying to return the broomstick to him.

After all, with Professor McGonagall's obsession with the Quidditch Cup, she couldn't have been so happy if there was something really wrong with the broomstick.

The two hurried back to the common room and told the others about it.

The crowd was quiet, as if it were Snape's Potions classroom.

Especially Cedric and the guys......

Although they had already guessed that this would be the result, when the news was really confirmed, they were still a little at a loss.

So, Cedric dragged Kyle to the court to practice.

The other members also went back to the dormitory and grabbed their broomsticks.

It was too cold outside, and the biting cold wind seemed to burrow into every corner of his body, and in this weather, even training freak Wood didn't want to stay outside.

But Hufflepuff has the warm-up badge that Kyle provides, so don't worry about this at all.

From the afternoon until near the evening, the Gryffindor team arrived.

Now that many people know about the firebow arrows, Wood has no intention of continuing to hide them.

Now that many people know about the firebow arrows, Wood has no intention of continuing to hide them.

They came here to test the new broomstick, and of course, it can't be ruled out that Wood meant to show off...... After all, Gryffindor hasn't won a single Hufflepuff in the past few years.

They also didn't compete for the use of the stadium, but only occupied the most marginal area, using stones instead of the Golden Snitch to train.

Harry, riding a firebolt, looked like a gust of wind, and no matter how tricky the angle of the stone Wood throws, Harry will be caught in the next second.

Even if several players threw it from different directions, none of the stones could fall to the ground.

Gradually, the Hufflepuff players also had no intention of training, and would always subconsciously glance to the side.

In the end, Cedric simply ended the training early.

Kyle carried his broomstick and walked out of the dark court side by side with Cedric.

The atmosphere was a little somber.

They had all heard before, but after seeing the speed of the firebow arrows with their own eyes this time, they felt that their hopes of victory were even slimmer.

"It's okay...... Cedric tried to liven things up, "Stone is not the same as the Golden Snitch, and to be honest, even without the Firebolt, I can still do what Potter just did...... If you don't believe me, we can find a place to try.

If I miss one, I'll treat you to Duke Honey's candy, take your pick. ”

"Of course we believe you, Captain." Mikel suddenly laughed twice, "We just ...... I'm hungry, so I don't want to talk. ”

"That's right, that's ......"

"yes, my stomach has been rumbling since just now......"

"I heard that there was pudding today, so I really want to have dinner soon......"

The gloomy atmosphere seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and everyone walked into the castle laughing and laughing.

The auditorium was as lively as ever, and by the time they had finished putting their broomsticks over, the Gryffindors had arrived.

The firebolt was placed in the center of the table, with the sign facing up, and many people were watching and congratulating Harry on getting such a wonderful broom instead of the light wheel.

Malfoy seemed a little unhappy, though.

As Kyle walked into the Great Hall, he happened to see him come near Harry with two of his henchmen.

"This broom has a lot of special properties, isn't it?" There was a hint of malice in his eyes, "It's a pity it doesn't have a parachute, in case you get too close to a Dementor." ”

Crabbe and Goyle chuckled.

Harry ignored him and just talked to Fred next to him, which made Malfoy's face look ugly.

Kyle watched from the sidelines, suddenly feeling a little funny.

The two sides hadn't spoken to each other for a long time since Harry had been inadvertently saved by Malfoy last time.

Kyle thought that Malfoy would take advantage of this and taunt Harry, but no, he seemed to take saving Harry as a shame and didn't mention it at all.

This time, he was still taunting Harry for being afraid of the Dementors.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Malfoy snorted coldly, narrowed his gray eyes, and strode away.

However, as he passed by Kyle, he shouted in a loud voice, "I think you should invent a fall robe, and Gryffindor will definitely scrape together the money to buy a set for their Seekers......"

Then, without waiting for Kyle to answer, he walked over to the rest of the Slytherin team.

They put their heads together, as if to ask Malfoy if the broomstick was a real firebolt.
