When Kyle made his rounds around the eighth floor and returned to the hallway before, there was no sign of the Room of Requirement on the walls, as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, the others had finished their rounds of the floor they were on, and needless to say, none of them had gained anything.

Some people seem to be reluctant, such as Monty and Filch.

"I know they're going to do something tonight." As soon as Filch reached the eighth floor, he couldn't wait to say, "Peeves is wreaking havoc on the first floor, and I hear it screaming." ”

"Did you catch someone?" Kyle asked.

"Nope." Filch said angrily, "By the time I rushed over, the people were gone, but I found a large number of footprints, and there must have been a dozen of them." ”

"But we can't catch people by footprints, Mr. Filch." Kyle glanced at him, "Unless you can take everyone's shoes and compare them one by one." ”

Filch's face became a little ugly, he snorted coldly, didn't say anything, and turned his head and walked downstairs.

He still couldn't understand why Umbridge had asked him to obey a student's command, when he could do it himself.

"It's rude." Kyle shook his head.

On the other side, Monty was much more honest, although he was also annoyed that he didn't catch anyone, but he didn't show it, just stood quietly at the back, trying to lower his presence.

"Well, don't be discouraged." Kyle looked at the group, "It's just the first day, it's normal to have no gains, as long as those people haven't given up on breaking the school rules, we'll catch them one day." ”

After a few words of encouragement, Kyle clapped his hands and said, "Now, let's all go back and rest, lest you be late for class tomorrow." ”

A few Slytherins went downstairs without saying a word, and Kyle returned to the Hufflepuff common room.

It was late at night, and when he pushed open the barrel door, Cedric and Connor were the only ones sitting in the common room, passing the time with exploding cards.

"You're finally back." Cedric looked at the time and said with a smile: "But then again, you guys are really hard, and they are so busy until so late." ”

"Who told you to run ahead of time?" Kyle smiled and walked over to sit in the armchair between the two.

"How does it feel?" Connor asked with interest as she put down the cards in her hand.

"Hmm...... Not bad. Kyle said, "If you're interested, I can convince Umbridge to make you my assistant." ”

"Forget it." Connor shook her head busily, "I can't promise I won't show my stuff." It's better for you to come. ”

"It's okay, the assistant's job is to follow me, there will be no problem." Kyle said.

Connor was a little moved, mainly because everyone had something to do, and she wanted to help too.

"And it's a great opportunity." Kyle continued, "You can get a taste of what it's like to battle your enemies in advance, as the Order of the Phoenix has always done. ”

"It should be the head of the Auror Office." Cedric teased, "Don't forget you're still commanding a group of Slytherins." ”

"If Montay and they are the Aurors, the Ministry of Magic will be finished." Kyle shrugged, "Of course, I'm the same. ”

Kyle's self-deprecating words made Connor laugh out loud.

The three of them then chatted in the common room for a while, and did not return to their dorms until the early hours of the morning.

……

The next day, in order to make the scene seem more realistic, Cedric did not sit next to Kyle as usual during dinner, but deliberately went farther away.

Although Kyle didn't feel the need to do this, and everyone was staring at Gryffindor, including Umbridge, who didn't know that he was also a member of the DA, Cedric was happy to do it, and even raised his head from time to time and glared at Kyle with a vicious gaze.

It's just that his acting skills are really not good, and Kyle has to purse his lips to barely laugh.

However, the Slytherin students have become much more friendly towards him.

As soon as the Charms class was over, a few Slytherins gathered around to talk to Kyle and invite him to the house for the Christmas holidays.

"We have a dance party every Christmas break in our house, and you can't miss it, it's much more lively than last year's school ball...... said a sixth-grade Slytherin, "and there are a lot of big names coming in, including Minister Fudge occasionally." ”

"Really? That's a good idea, and if I have time, I'll go. Kyle said, quietly picking up his pace.

But just as they left the hallway of the classroom, they were stopped by two people on their way to the auditorium.

"Weasley......" Before Kyle could speak, a Slytherin stepped up and said, "What do you want to do!" ”

"It's none of your business, we're not here for you." Fred glanced at him, then looked at Kyle viciously and said, "Do you dare to come with us?" ”

"Of course, why not." Kyle said with a smile.

He then motioned for the others to go first, and he took Connor with Fred to another empty hallway.

As soon as he stepped out of everyone's sight, the expression on Fred's face changed.

"How the hell did you do that?" Trying to contain his excitement, he lowered his voice and said, "Our ban has been revoked...... Me, George, Harry, can continue playing. ”

"Oh, that's good." Kyle smiled and said, "Congratulations. ”

"But how the hell did you do it, and you could make that old toad of Umbridge change his mind." Fred asked again.

He was so curious.

Umbridge had been here for so long, and had never heard of anyone who could make her take her punishment, not once.

Even the other day when Professor McGonagall went to visit her, it didn't change the situation in which Professor Trelawney was retained for inspection.

"I just wrote a letter to Malfoy's house." Kyle said.

"It's as simple as that?"

"Of course."

Fred was a little incredulous, but before he could ask anything more, George on the other side of the hallway waved him off.

The next second, they heard a messy footsteps.

Someone came over.

There was no way, Fred could only put on a vicious posture again and said loudly: "Let's see, don't let us see you again!" ”

With that, he and George walked briskly to the other side of the hallway, leaving the hallway before Umbridge could arrive.

……

For the next week, it was the same way.

Cedric is fine, but Fred and George can only sneak in with Kyle or go to the Room of Requirement after curfew.

At first they thought it was fun, but after a long time it got a little boring.

"Wait...... Maybe the Slytherins will go home during the Christmas holidays. Fred said after another DA party.

As is customary, they went to see off the other students, and Kyle walked ahead of them in case someone suddenly showed up.

Everything went smoothly until midnight.

Kyle was about to go back, but Professor McGonagall suddenly came over and came to Kyle in front of everyone.

"Dumbledore is looking for you, come with me." Then, without saying a word, she took Kyle away, leaving a group of Slytherins standing there in a panic.

"Damn, why did the headmaster meddle too." A fifth-grader couldn't help but say, "What are we going to do, go to Professor Umbridge?" ”

"No, don't move." Monty looked in the direction in which Kyle had been taken away, rolled his eyes, and said in a gloating tone, "Isn't that the headmaster?" We should trust Kyle, he'll be able to solve this problem. ”

"But......" said the man.

"So, didn't you hear me just now?" Montay took two steps forward and looked at him coldly.

Looking at the tall Monta, the man immediately shook his head, "No, I don't." ”

"That's good." Monta nodded in satisfaction, "And it's so late, we'd better not disturb Professor Umbridge's rest, now, let's all go back to the common room, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Montay's words were immediately agreed by some of the people, and they all chose to conceal it, and went downstairs with a smile as if nothing had happened.

Malfoy stayed at the back of the line, glancing in the direction of the headmaster's office, his expression flickering with a tangle on his face.

But at Pansy's and Crabbe's urging, he finally took a deep breath and followed the others.
