After leaving Umbridge's office, Kyle walked briskly through the hallway, toward the Great Hall.

It was already noon, and the auditorium was full of people who had come for lunch.

At the Hufflepuff table, the team members, including Cedric, were sitting around discussing the new arrivals for the morning.

After seeing Kyle, Cedric quickly moved to the side, vacating a spot.

"How's your confinement with Professor Umbridge, she didn't embarrass you, did she?"

"What did Umbridge tell you to do?"

Once Kyle sat down, the crowd around him asked.

"It's fine." Kyle paused for a moment and said, "Write the sentence five hundred times." ”

"It's okay...... "it's not too bad," Cedric said. ”

"yes." Kyle nodded, "Five hundred times is a bit much, and ten pieces of parchment feels like writing a particularly long assignment." ”

"It's already good." Connor comforted him and pushed a plate of pies over, "Would you like some pie?" ”

"Thanks, I was hungry an hour ago." Kyle cut a piece and put it in his mouth.

The beef patty with onions and pepper was added and it tasted pretty good.

"That's right." He looked at Cedric, "How are the new players this year?" ”

"It's a bit average." "I didn't find any talented players this year, and the only one who was pretty good was a third-year goalkeeper," Cedric said.

Frobadvi, who was in the fifth grade, was also a good flyer, but she didn't seem to pay much attention to Quidditch, and she made it clear during the selection that the team training should not coincide with the "charm club" she was participating in, otherwise she would prefer the club instead of training. ”

"Wait, what club did you just say?" Kyle asked, looking up.

"Glamour Club." Cedric repeated.

"Is there another Hogwarts organization?" Kyle wondered.

"Not only that, but quite a few." "Like the Wizard's Chess Club, the Magnificent Robes Club, and the Afternoon Tea Club. ”

"These have nothing to do with professors, they are all spontaneously formed by students who share the same hobbies, and there are fixed times and places for activities, including when I joined the Wizard Chess Club when I was in the fourth grade."

"I've never heard of it."

"Do you have time to attend these?" Cedric asked rhetorically.

Kyle was speechless for a moment, he seemed to be quite busy before. Attending the professors' clubs every week was enough for him to keep him busy, as well as time to attend team training and study the Magical Script, and finally leave the rest of his time for homework.

There was time in the last school year, but at that time he was a representative of the Hogwarts Warriors, and no one would mention such an inconsequential thing to him.

And now that he thinks about it, Kyle vaguely remembers that when he was in the common room, there was a discussion about what activities to attend, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

"I see...... Kyle nodded, looked at Connor and asked curiously, "Did you join that charismatic club?" ”

"Nope." "It's the first time I've heard that name. ”

"Me too." Kyle laughs, "It looks like this club isn't as authoritative as it seems. ”

Connor couldn't hold back her laughter.

"I advise you to be careful, you can't think that someone is not authoritative just because you have not been invited."

"There are a lot of 'charisma' people, and it's very difficult to get involved, and you have to go through a series of tests. ”

Kyle glanced at him, "So, Cho is one of them?" ”

Cedric was silent for a moment. "Well, it's really not very authoritative."

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't help but laugh himself.

"But one thing I'm not wrong about is that it's a lot of people." Cedric continued: "In addition to Flo, there is also the Gryffindor wiki who is also a member of the team, and she is also the one who participated in the selection this time, and she also flew very well.

However, Captain Angelina did not admit her, and instead chose the Ron Weasley, who was mediocre in all aspects.

"I think it's probably a deliberate illusion on their part...... After all, the Weasleys have produced many excellent members. ”

"Maybe you're thinking too much." "And the perfect combination can also fill the gap between the individual players, and it's still a while before the first game starts, so we'll just need to train a few times." ”

"That's what I thought too." Cedric said.

In the afternoon, a few people who were idle came to the lawn outside.

Fred and George wanted to see if Hagrid had returned, and their line of truant candy products needed some special poisonous berries as raw materials, which were found in the Forbidden Forest, and they could save a lot of money if they picked them themselves.

But when they walked over, Hagrid's hut was still closed, and there was no sound inside, and it didn't look like it was human.

"Looks like Hagrid hasn't come back yet." Fred said, "I really want to know what the hell he's doing." ”

"Don't think about it yet." George looked a little excited, "Don't you think this is a great opportunity?"

"Hagrid's absence means that the Forbidden Forest is unguarded, so why can't we go in and collect the berries ourselves?"

"Hey, I said." Cedric glanced at the two of them, "Is it really okay for you two to say this to our faces?" ”

Fred and George realized that there were four prefects around them.

Moreover, the prefect can ignore the college, which means that as long as he is caught violating the school rules, even if he is not the prefect of the college, he can deduct points.

"Can you act as if you didn't see anything?" George grinned, "After all, it's a rare opportunity, and we just want to pick some berries." ”

"Really just picking berries?" Cho was skeptical of their words.

"Of course." Fred said, "We promise. ”

"It's guaranteed to take only the berries, but not how far to go, right?" Kyle added quietly.

The poisonous berries needed to skip class sugar are not something uncommon, they are found on the periphery of the Forbidden Forest and in the depths.

With their adventurous nature, they will definitely choose the deepest ones.

Fred and George didn't feel embarrassed to see their ideas being exposed, but before they could quibble, a stern voice came from not far away.

"What are you doing?"

Professor Grapeland walked out of the Forbidden Forest with two large vats, looking at them with a wary expression.

"Students are not allowed to come to the Forbidden Forest, go back quickly, or I'll tell Professor McGonagall."

"No, we're here for Professor Hagrid." George hurriedly said, "Where did he go?" ”

"Hegrid again." Professor Grapeland muttered something quietly, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, but you'd better get back to the castle quickly, and students shouldn't be here at any time except for the Conservation of Magical Creatures class." ”

"Okay professor, let's leave." Cedric said.

The group then headed towards the castle, followed by Fred and George.

"She's not kind to look at it." Fred muttered, "I still prefer Hagrid." ”

"yes." George agreed.

"That's not what you said before." Cho gave them a funny look, "Don't you often complain that Hagrid is too strict about the Forbidden Forest, and you can't sneak in?" ”

"But he's at least willing to hear what we've to say."

"Sometimes I go to the Forbidden Forest and help bring out what we need."
