The time for everyone to study at the Room of Requirement was for an hour, as they had to return to their respective common rooms at nine o'clock, before the Hogwarts curfew.

Fortunately, the leg lock spell is not a very complicated spell, and it can even be said to be very simple, it only takes half an hour for everyone to use it proficiently.

Well...... Except for Neville.

However, in order not to delay everyone's time, Hermione decided to teach him in private.

"I hope she won't be mad at that time." Ron whispered.

Hearing his words, Harry couldn't help but laugh.

Neville was a bit slow at learning spells, and sometimes even Professor McGonagall was so annoyed by his impressive progress that she couldn't speak.

But Harry knew that Neville had really tried, but his memory was so bad that sometimes he could forget all the spells he had just learned in the morning and had lunch...... It may not take that long.

Of course, that's not something they need to think about.

After everyone had lowered their wands, Hermione cleared her throat and said:

"It's a little bit of time before the curfew starts, and I think we should elect a leader."

She had just wanted to say this proposal, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Anthony.

In addition, everyone was aroused by Garon's enthusiasm and couldn't wait to start practicing spells, so she didn't mention it again.

But it's not too late.

There was a buzz in the room.

Hearing Hermione's proposal, someone immediately thought of the biggest sponsor of the event, that is, Kyle, who contributed fifty Galleons as a reward.

"I propose Kyle to come...... Wait, what about Kyle? ”

That's when they suddenly realize that Kyle isn't in the room.

Everyone subconsciously looked around, but the room was so big, they looked around, and found no trace of Kyle.

"He's already back...... said Luna, who was in the crowd, "and I dare say he must have found Paobat hiding in the darkness and chased him out." ”

"What is Paobat?" Neville couldn't help but ask, looking dazed, and he wasn't the only one who did that.

"A kind of elf with wings," Luna said, her bulging eyes wide open, "to give people directions." ”

"That kind of thing doesn't exist." Hermione frowned, "At least I'm sure there's not a single book written about them. ”

"If you've watched "Singing Against the Tune", you won't be so sure." Luna said angrily.

Hermione didn't speak this time, it was getting closer and closer to nine, and she didn't want to waste her time on this pointless argument.

"Where did we just go?"

"Elect a leader"

"Ah, yes." Hermione said, "I think leaders should make sure they come every time, and Kyle isn't the right fit. ”

"Then I'll pick Cedric...... "He's the president of the boys' student body." ”

"It's not a big deal." Ron said, "I think Harry can do too. ”

"Since there is a disagreement." Hermione glanced at them, "Then let's vote......"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was even more lively than when he practiced spells just now.

In addition to choosing a leader, there is also a name and a time for the next meeting......

By the time the dust had settled, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

It's more than ten minutes longer than the original end time, but this can't be helped, there are so many of them that it's hard to have a proposal that can satisfy everyone.

When Cedric cautiously made his way back to the common room, he happened to see Kyle sitting at the innermost table with something written on it.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Cedric walked over.

"I suddenly remembered that I hadn't written my Potions homework yet, and I didn't want to make up my homework all night, so I had to come back first." Kyle said, and pushed Potions and Cauldrons forward on the table.

"How's it going for you there, is everything going well?"

"I'm embarrassed to mention this." Cedric immediately became angry, "Why did you suddenly give fifty Galleons as a reward......"

"Any questions?" Kyle put down the quill in his hand, "I think that's the only way to keep them motivated to learn."

"What Voldemort, Death Eater...... It was all empty until I saw them in person, and only the golden Garon was the best source of motivation.

"You should have noticed it just now, they suddenly became positive."

"Of course I noticed." "But that's fifty Galleons, not fifty sico, and even if it's a reward, you don't need to take it out." ”

For most students, their pocket money for an academic year is less than ten Galleons, which is undoubtedly a lot of money.

And this is just a self-taught Defence Against the Dark Arts class, there is no need to come up with such a large sum of money as a reward, five Galleons is enough.

In addition, if Kyle used the reward of fifty Galleons on himself, Cedric would not have reacted so much, because he knew that no student at Hogwarts could defeat Kyle, and it was naturally impossible for this fifty Galleons to be given.

But Kyle asks him to be the one to be challenged, which makes Cedric a little worried.

Admittedly, doing so allowed him to quickly increase his prestige, and it was true, and he was chosen by others as the leader of the DA with a very high number of votes.

Oh, and DA is their new name, "Defense Society", and also an abbreviation for "Dumbledore's Army".

The name was still up to Qiu, according to her...... Wasn't Umbridge afraid of Professor Dumbledore's secret forces? Since this is the case, then they will form such a team, and this view has also been unanimously agreed by everyone.

But the problem now is that he can't guarantee that he won't fail, if someone can beat him...... Kyle won't be able to keep fifty Galleons.

At least as he left the Room of Requirement, Cedric noticed that some people were looking at him with fiery eyes, apparently using him as a moving treasure chest...... The kind that will burst gold coins.

"Don't worry, I trust you." Kyle said sincerely.

"But I don't believe in myself." Cedric muttered, "Angelina's girl is not much worse than me, and the two sixth-graders in Ravenclaw, I am also not sure of victory." ”

"You're underestimating yourself." Kyle waved his hand and said, "They're no match for you, I promise." ”

"And what about Fred and George...... Cedric continued, "and while I'm confident that I can defeat any of them, from past experience, they don't honestly follow the rules of dueling, do they?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Kyle was silent for a moment.

"Well, it's okay if you lose." He continued: "It's only fifty Galleons...... It's a big deal, just find someone to reimburse when the time comes. ”

"Looking for someone to reimburse?" Cedric was stunned for a moment, "Who, don't tell me it's Headmaster Dumbledore." ”

"Ah, no, Dumbledore wasn't that generous." Kyle said, "It's another kind professor." ”

"Okay." Cedric gave Kyle a suspicious look, but didn't ask anything more, just muttered a few more words.

Anyway, he probably got busy when he attended the DA party later.

Anyone else aside, he just hoped that Fred and George wouldn't use too immoral means when dealing with him.
