Chapter 600: Change, and a New Prefect

Kyle stayed here for the next few days.

In addition to the library, the food here was also an important reason, and Mrs. Weasley's craftsmanship was far better than the bread and smoked sausages he ate at home.

He also met a lot of people during this time.

For example, the Auror Kings Le Shaker who works in the Ministry of Magic, the reckless and brainless Dedalodi Go, and the very unpopular Monton Gus Fledge.

Of course, these people are just as interested in Kyle and are surprised that he will be here.

Kyle didn't explain that much, though, and only occasionally said that he and Harry were friends when they had dinner together.

The rest of the time, he spent the rest of his time in the basement library, where no one else usually came, including Hermione.

Because Kreacher was always watching, it was difficult for her to calm down and read, so she usually asked Sirius to take the book out and read it in her room.

Ron said he didn't understand their behavior...... He didn't understand why he was still reading books now that it was a holiday.

Harry thought it would be good to read more books at this time, and tried to join the two.

But his enthusiasm lasted only one day, after which the book he had found was thrown into the corner of the table.

It can't be helped, as long as there is a little wind outside, Harry will be distracted...... He really couldn't see it.

Especially after the Hogwarts letter was delivered, he was even less in the mood.

This day, the Devil Eagle brought a new list of books, and there was a surprise that was sent along with it.

Hermione became a prefect, and her badge was in an envelope with a book list.

Harry wasn't surprised by this, after all, there was no one more suitable for a fifth year than Hermione, and she would certainly be a prefect.

But what Harry, and everyone else didn't expect, was that the boys' prefect was Ron.

"Ah, a room of prefects." Fred's exaggerated exclamation echoed almost the entire house, "That's nice, isn't it." ”

"If you don't count the two of us." George said.

"Don't forget Ginny."

"Hey, I'm only in fourth grade this year." Ginny said dissatisfied, "Maybe they'll send me a badge next year." ”

"Only a fool would think that." Fred said, though his tone was a little sour.

If he had heard him say that, Mrs. Weasley would have taught him a lesson, but not today.

Looking at the prefect badge in Ron's hand, she was overjoyed and promised Ron to buy him a new broomstick.

Although broomsticks are expensive, if they are not particularly good, they can afford to save a little if they are just a new one.

"We can buy broomsticks too." George muttered to the side, "And I bought it myself." ”

"That's right." Fred said.

Hermione, after a brief moment of surprise, congratulated Ron and looked to the other side of the table.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that there is another person in this room who is not a prefect.

"Harry?" She walked out and said hesitantly, "How are you?" ”

"That's great, Hermione." Harry said, with some exaggeration, "Congratulations on becoming a prefect, and of course, Ron." ”

With that, he pretended to pack his things so that Hermione wouldn't see his face.

Harry had a hard time saying what mood he was in right now.

He didn't want to admit that he was jealous of Ron and that he had become a prefect, but when he got the news, he did feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Harry felt that he was no worse than Ron, or maybe a little better in some ways.

Quidditch, for example, flies very well and is the youngest member of the varsity team.

"But I didn't lead the team to a Quidditch Cup." Harry thought to himself.

And the adventures they had in school, the things they did, most of the time they were in a group of three.

Harry didn't want to be jealous and slander Ron just because he had surpassed him in something for the first time.

So he tried to convince himself in his heart that maybe he wasn't as good as Ron, and that Ron's prefect was what he deserved.

And this year's holiday, it was Ron who came to the Order of the Phoenix first, and then he ...... Perhaps Dumbledore had already made his choice at that time.

Now, instead of being relieved, Harry became more uncomfortable, and he forced a smile all day long.

But Kyle didn't know that he was still in the library.

In "Cutting-edge Black Arts Revealed", there is a complete introduction to Horcruxes, as well as some of the production methods.

Truth be told, this magic wasn't as hard as Kyle thought, and he was confident that if he wanted to, he would be able to make the book in front of him into his own Horcrux on the spot if he wanted to, as long as he found a random Death Eater.

But that wasn't Kyle's purpose, he was researching Horcruxes because of an idea that came to him after seeing the Longbottoms.

The Longbottoms may have been a reason for persisting until now, but more than that, he wanted to change something.

This change is not simply to save one or a few people...... After all, he'd done this since the time the holiday train left Hogwarts.

Because Cedric survived, and soon he was going back to Hogwarts for his seventh year.

Kyle wants to change more, even something that will affect the perception of the wizarding world, such as changing the Unforgivable Spell from three to two.

The reason why the Heart Drill Mantra is an unforgivable spell is because it causes irreversible damage to the soul, but if his idea is successful, and then streamlines it a little more, can it be regarded as a counter-curse of the Heart Drilling Mantra?

Kyle doesn't know, but it's worth a try.

But the problem now is that according to the record of Horcruxes in "Cutting-edge Black Magic Revealed", it is enough to use it yourself, but if you want to change the method and apply it to a comatose person, it is still far away.

The inability to actively pull the soul is one of the biggest problems.

So Kyle asked Kreacher to help him find some other books on souls, which he had been working on lately.

……

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that Kyle came out of the library.

As soon as he arrived in the kitchen, he saw a bright red banner hanging above the dining table.

It reads...... Congratulations to Ron and Hermione on being elected Prefects.

Oh yes, they're in fifth grade too, Kyle thought to himself.

Mrs. Weasley set out the plate with a smile, and it was the first time Kyle had been so happy to see her all over the holiday, and even the arrival of Mundungus hadn't ruined his good mood.

There are quite a few people who are back today, Mr. Weasley, Moody's, Kingsley, and Tonks are all here.

And Bill, who was still dressed in a novelty and greeted Kyle warmly.

Kyle didn't ask why he was here...... There is no need for this.

Finally, there was Dumbledore, who arrived late and appeared in the foyer in the middle of dinner.

"Dumbledore......" Mundungus at the table was the first to stand up, and at the same time put the silver dinner knife in his sleeve back on the table.

"Looks like I've arrived at the right time." Dumbledore sat down at the table and took a piece of baked potato from the table.

"How's that going, Dumbledore?" Moody asked, tilting his head.

"It went well." Dumbledore nodded, and then he looked up at the banner on the table.

"Oh, I almost forgot that today was the day of the prefect." He raised his glass and said, "Congratulations." ”

"Thank you, thank you......"

In the face of Dumbledore, both Ron and Hermione looked a little reserved.

Harry's mind was even more complicated, and although he was curious to know why Dumbledore didn't choose him as a prefect, he didn't have the courage to ask.

It wasn't until the rest of the chat, when he heard from Sirius that his dad wasn't a prefect, that his mood improved a lot.

Fred and George have finally found like-minded people, and they find that many of the people sitting here are not prefects, including Tonks, whom they think is very good.

The meal ended with laughter, an atmosphere that has not been seen much in recent times.

After dinner, Dumbledore stopped Kyle, who was about to go back to his room.

"Remember what we said earlier?" He asked.

"Of course, Professor." Kyle said, "Is the meeting already about to start? ”

He'd been in the library lately, and he couldn't remember what it was for a while.

"Tomorrow." Dumbledore said, "I wanted to go to St. Cachpole, but I didn't expect it to be here.

"If you don't have anything else to do, how about six o'clock tomorrow, I think we need to get over early."

"No problem, I can go anytime." Kyle said.

"That couldn't be better."

As the two of them spoke, they didn't notice that several heads were huddled together on the stairs outside.

"What are they talking about." Ron asked curiously.

"It looks like I'm going to a meeting." Fred held something in the shape of an ear and said, "It's tomorrow morning." ”

Now, everyone is interested.

Although they had been meeting almost every day lately, this was the first time Dumbledore had attended.

But just as they wanted to hear more, the kitchen door suddenly opened, and several people quickly shrank their necks and tried to hide themselves on the stairs.

Dumbledore stepped out of it, paused slightly, and then walked out on his own as if nothing was happening.

"Great, he didn't find us." Ron said with honor.

"I don't think so." A voice came.

"Definitely not." Ron said confidently, "We were hiding a lot just now...... Hurry up ......"

At this point, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This voice was so familiar that they could hear it every time they attended the opening banquet, it was Dumbledore's.

Ron was suddenly scared into a cold sweat.

Subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, which was the ear-shaped thing in Fred's hand.

At this time, Dumbledore's voice was heard from inside again.

"It's a really good invention, it's practical. But I think you should go back to your room and rest at this time.

"Molly just said that I don't want you to make a fuss too late, you definitely don't want to see her angry, right?"

"You're right, Professor." George, who reacted, said, "We're just going to test the new invention...... Go back to your room now. ”

"By the way, Professor, thank you for the recognition." Fred added, "It's our new invention, and it only sells two Galleons in the Weasley Joke Shop. ”

"Of course, if it's a member of the Order of the Phoenix, you can get a good discount."

Rather than say that Fred and George had seen the world, instead of being overwhelmed like Ron, they took the opportunity to advertise.
