Chapter 147: Lost Harry and a pack of cat food
Chapter 147 Lost Harry and a Packet of Cat Food
Professor McGonagall would probably not refuse if it were just to add one more class, but changing classes...to be honest, Kyle felt that it was unlikely.
But looking at the hopeful looks on Fred and George's faces, he just shrugged and said nothing.
Let them try it. If Professor McGonagall is in a good mood today, she might agree.
The first class this year was still the Charms class. After leaving the auditorium, Kyle said goodbye to the Weasley brothers and Cedric and headed to the fourth floor of the castle alone.
When he reached the second floor, Kyle suddenly saw two freshmen spinning on the stairs.
Harry and Ron.
They walked around the two false stairs and kept wandering on the second floor, running around anxiously.
Kyle looked at it for a while and couldn't help but said: "What are you doing...exercising?"
Ron turned his head suddenly, as if he saw a savior, pulled Harry and ran over.
“We’re going to the Transfiguration classroom, but we’re lost.” He asked breathlessly, “Can you tell us how to get there?”
“Come with me.” Kyle said, “I just want to go to the fourth floor.”
“Thank God!” Ron showed a relaxed expression.
“Thank you, thank you.” Harry glanced at Kyle somewhat cautiously.
“It’s nothing, it’s just on the way.”
Kyle led the two of them to the correct stairs and asked with some confusion: "Didn't you buy a map of Hogwarts?"
Hearing this, Ron's face suddenly turned red and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Harry also said with some embarrassment: "Twenty Galleons is too expensive, I, we can't afford it."
Although there were piles of gold in his treasury, he didn't bring much with him to school this time. After excluding the money spent on wands and books, he had just over twenty galleons left.
"That's not what I'm talking about." Kyle led them around a corner and said: "There are two types of maps. In addition to the twenty galleons, there is also a cheap version of ten Sickles... What, Fred and George Didn’t you tell you guys?”
Harry and Ron were stunned at the same time.
After Kyle said this, Harry suddenly remembered that there was indeed a leaflet about the map posted on the door of the common room.
However, both he and Ron subconsciously thought that it was the kind they saw on the train, and neither of them looked carefully.
Thinking of this, Harry's face suddenly wrinkled up and he felt regretful.
If he could take a closer look at the time, ten Xike could still afford it.
“Here we are, the Transfiguration classroom is over there.”
After arriving on the fourth floor, Kyle pointed in one direction, then took something from his pocket and stuffed it into Harry's hand.
“This should be considered as a meeting gift.”
Harry looked down and found two more maps in his hand, as well as a pack of...dried fish?
“What is this?” Ron asked.
“It looks like pet cat food.” Harry said, “Does Kyle have a cat?”
Ron thought for a while and said: "He does have one at home."
Harry raised his head hurriedly and shouted: "Kyle, you gave us an extra pack of cat food!"
“Send it to you too!”
Kyle seemed to be in a hurry to go to class and said without looking back: "I have plenty of that stuff. You can take it back and feed it to the owl."
As he spoke, he turned a corner and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
this…
Harry held the bag of dried fish and stood there blankly.
“Come on, Harry, class is about to begin.”
Ron suddenly pulled him and said urgently: "That's Professor McGonagall's class, we'd better not be late." "Okay, okay."
After coming back to his senses, Harry put the dried fish into his pocket and ran to the other side with Ron.
At this time, Kyle had already entered the Charms classroom.
In the first lesson of the new school year, Professor Flitwick did not teach new content immediately. Instead, he took them to review the magic spells they learned last year.
He spent half the class checking everyone's levitating and softening spells, and only after confirming that most people were able to cast these two spells proficiently did he return to the high platform built with books.
“Today we are going to learn the universal breaking spell, which can eliminate the effects of ordinary spells...Watch my movements carefully. I must be firm when waving the wand, and the sound must be clear...Stop the spell immediately!”
After Charms, Kyle took History of Magic.
In the afternoon, there were two potions lessons from Snape.
Like last year, Snape still didn't give Kyle a good look.
“Who asked you to whisper to each other while brewing the potion?”
Snape stood next to Kyle and said with a gloomy face: "Don't influence others if you don't learn. One point will be deducted from Hufflepuff."
Then he looked at Kangna again.
“The lion fish bones are well done, plus one point for Hufflepuff.”
Kyle looked at Snape calmly.
He has long been accustomed to this professor's double-standard behavior, and compared to the previous situation where he started with five points, this year is not bad.
…
The first day of the new school year has passed like this. Although some classes are not very pleasant, overall it is still very fulfilling.
Night.
The library on the second floor of the castle is very quiet, without any sound. The tall bookshelves block the moonlight through the windows, making the rest of the place look much darker.
“Creak…”
At this time, the door was suddenly opened a crack, just wide enough for a person to walk in.
…
When the door closed again, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the library.
“Tsk, Filch is too dedicated.”
Kyle lifted the illusion spell and patted his chest with some fear.
Just now, Filch suddenly jumped out of nowhere on the stairs and almost brushed his shoulder.
Moreover, Kyle also noticed that Mrs. Norris stopped inexplicably when passing by him, and glanced in his direction doubtfully.
Kyle estimated that it must have discovered something strange, but he was not sure yet.
Fortunately, Filch seemed to be chasing someone at the time, and at his urging, Mrs. Norris left quickly.
“It seems like it’s not safe to just use the Disguise Charm when traveling at night. I need to take the time to find out if there is any magic spell that can cover the smell.”
Kyle calmed down and walked straight towards the restricted book area.
He remembered the book that introduced Horcruxes in detail. It seemed to be called "The Secret of Advanced Black Magic".
Kyle suddenly felt a little headache.
Although the restricted book area only occupies a small part of the library, there are almost thousands of books.
Without the use of magic, it is not an easy task to accurately find the "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" here.
“I hope I can find it tonight.”
Kyle sighed, then lit his wand and walked into the rows of bookshelves.
