Instead of immediately returning to the Hufflepuff common room, Kyle turned a corner on the second floor and walked into an empty classroom with no one occupied.

"How'......"

As soon as Kyle enters, he hears an urgent voice coming from the classroom.

Connor walked over, followed by Cedric, Cho, Fred, and George.

"That's it." Kyle gestured with his hand, "You can teach yourself Defence Against the Dark Arts with confidence, just be careful and don't be discovered." ”

"Great!" Cedric excitedly said, "We've agreed that in case anyone informs them, they'll have to sign a magic contract before they can get the location of the Room of Requirement." ”

"Yours, Kyle." Fred also said happily, "I deceived that Umbridge so easily, and I really deserve to be the youngest member of the Merlin Sir Order." ”

Kyle was a little speechless, not understanding what this had to do with the Merlin Order.

"But......" George touched his eyes, "you're too hard, if we don't go to the school hospital, we'll have to carry this thing for at least a week." ”

"Seriously, it's just a shame." Fred sighed.

"We don't dare to go to crowded places now......"

"And I even have to cover my face during class."

"Didn't they say that a little injury would be more convincing?" Kyle laughed and said, "As it turns out, you're right, because of the way you are, Umbridge believes in my words." ”

"We're talking about you." George muttered, "Think about it, doesn't the news that you went through all the hardships and dangers to get back at the cost of injury suddenly seem more credible." ”

"It's okay, it's going to be good anyway."

Kyle said, "Besides, you three-on-one are still beaten like this, can you blame me?"

"Seriously, if I were you, I would be embarrassed to mention this, it's too embarrassing."

"It's two against one!" George corrected with a serious face: "Cedric, that guy is just there watching, and he didn't help anything...... This traitor ......"

"Huh?" Cedric scratched at his hair, not understanding how this matter could be brought to his head, he was still a Hufflepuff no matter what, even if he was acting, he couldn't help people from other houses.

Besides, even if he goes up to help, it may not be able to make any difference, it's just one more person who has been beaten with blue eyes, so why bother.

It's better for two people to be injured than three to be wiped out, and that's fine now.

However, Cedric also knew that Fred and George were not in a good mood at the moment, so he did not speak very knowingly.

Kyle ignored Fred and George, who were squeaking, and turned to ask, "Have you set the time, when are you going to start?" ”

"Wednesday night." Cedric said. "I was going to have it on the weekend, but everyone seems to have more important things to do, Quidditch training, or going to a club they like...... Only Wednesday can stagger all the times. ”

"Remember to separate when the time comes." Kyle reminded, "Gryffindor and Ravenclaw are fine, but it's a little strange that a large group of Hufflepuff students are suddenly running to the eighth floor."

"Or you can go to the kitchen and ask the house-elves for help."

"House-elves?"

"That's right." Kyle explained, "The house-elves' special magic allows them to use apparition at school to take you directly from the kitchen to the eighth floor and back again. ”

"yes, house-elves can use magic in school, how did I forget that." Cedric said happily, "I just don't know if they'll agree...... I mean, they're almost never seen using magic at school. ”

"It's okay, just try it." Kyle said, "It's just once a week, and it's not every day, so it shouldn't be a problem." ”

"That's right." Cedric nodded.

After discussing these matters, the group left the classroom.

Kyle and Connor are ready to go back to the common room, while Cedric follows Fred and George upstairs.

While he still had time, he was going to visit Hermione and Harry to discuss more details, such as the exact time, the content of the magic contract, and what to teach in class.

……

First time as a professor...... Even though he was only a professor in name, Cedric was nervous, and the closer he got to Wednesday, the more pronounced that feeling became.

Even the next day, when he trained in Quidditch, he looked absent-minded.

Several times, Kyle sees the Golden Snitch flying past him, but Cedric doesn't react at all, just unconsciously looking ahead, not knowing what he's thinking.

Kyle wields the firebolt and turns lightly, holding the Golden Snitch in his hand.

Under normal circumstances, he shouldn't have robbed the Golden Snitch as a chaser, but instead of disagreeing, the other players around him breathed a sigh of relief.

Because they've been flying for two hours.

Training is boring, and there are all kinds of different tactics, but it's not particularly boring.

But today was different, because the captain never caught the Golden Snitch, they never changed their tactics from beginning to end, and in the end, everyone threw the Quaffle into the goalpost slowly, just like a history of magic homework.

This kind of training can be said to be meaningless.

"Oh, sorry Kyle, I got distracted." Cedric scratched his head, "I can't help but think about what's going to happen tomorrow night.

"I don't know if I'm prepared enough or if I'll be able to help everyone solve their problems, but it's hard for me to calm down just thinking about it."

Kyle put away his firebolts and walked towards the castle with the others.

"Take it easy, it's just an after-school tutoring, it's not that scary."

"I know the truth, but I can't help it." Cedric sighed, "Every time I have a free time, I always can't help but worry, afraid that I can't do a good job and make a mess of things, and then everyone won't come next time." ”

"You should learn from Harry, he doesn't seem nervous at all." Kyle said with a smile.

"You don't need to care if they'll come next time, unless you're teaching worse than Umbridge...... Seriously, it's a lot harder than if you don't make mistakes. ”

"You have a point." Cedric finally managed to squeeze out a smile on his face, "I really haven't seen a worse professor than Umbridge......"

By the time the two of them returned to the castle, it was almost curfew, and Filch had just come down from the upper floor, and his face immediately became ugly when he looked at their outfits.

"You ......" He first glanced at the ground, and found that there were no dirt footprints on it, and then quickly changed his words: "I'm still wandering around so late, do you want to go on a night trip?" ”

"Mr. Filch, we just got back from training." Cedric said.

"It's better to be like this." Filch looked at them with a sneer, "If I catch you doing something wrong, I'm sure Professor Umbridge won't mind me taking you to the dungeon."

"After so many years, there is finally a reliable professor in the school..."

Cedric frowned, and after walking through the hallway, he whispered to Kyle:

"Filch is getting annoying again."

"yes." Kyle said, "Because somebody has backed him up." ”

Because of the arrival of a conformist Umbridge at school (at least on the surface), Filch finally finds someone who thinks the same way as himself.

This also allowed Snape's place in his heart to be quickly replaced by Umbridge.

In the past, when he scared students, he would always threaten them with telling Professor Snape, especially for Gryffindor students, and this trick worked quite well.

That is until Umbridge becomes the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

Filch was pleasantly surprised to find that the professor was surprisingly in line with his own ideas, and that the punishment was much more severe than the other professors.

What's more, she has more power to change the school rules at any time.

As a result, Filch swelled up, forgetting even what had happened last year, and began to become the same as before, happily patrolling the castle in a desperate attempt to catch more students who had broken the school rules.

He seemed to feel that as long as there were enough people who broke the school rules, there would be a reason to reopen the dungeon.

"This nasty guy ......"

"And the nasty Umbridge ......"

"Be quiet, don't be heard."

As soon as Filch left, someone immediately lowered his voice and began to talk.

They still preferred Filch when school started, at least he wasn't as annoying as he is now.
