Chapter 175: No comparison, no harm
Chapter 175 There is no harm without comparison
Twenty galleons…
Fred and George looked up at the same time and looked at Kyle hesitantly.
To pick up, or not to pick up...that is the question.
If they accept it, once Kyle guesses correctly, not only will they have to put in all the money they earned before, but they will also have to put in a lot of it.
But... twenty glittering galleons were placed before them, and they could not say anything to refuse them anyway.
George licked his dry lips and asked: "Twenty Galleons...are you sure?"
Kyle raised his eyebrows, "Let's try to sweep the light wheel, and I can tell you what my guess is now."
As he spoke, he leaned into their ears and whispered a few words.
“Quirrell will wait until after the final exams, the ending…”
After hearing what Kyle said, the twins suddenly took a breath.
The two then looked at each other.
“You’re not going to tell our mother about this…” Fred asked suspiciously.
Kyle's words just now sounded like he was sending galleons to them. He always felt that this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing was a bit unreal.
Kyle affirmed: "Of course not, I promise."
George took a deep breath and said, "Okay, we'll take it!"
“Wise choice.” Kyle gave them a meaningful look, then picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and took a sip.
Cedric and Connor next to them stared at all this with their mouths open. They didn't realize what was going on until now.
Twenty galleons is not a small amount of money. It is already more than many people’s pocket money for an entire school year.
Just when Cedric was about to persuade Kyle not to be so impulsive, Fred and George had already quickly put away the galleons on the table and ran back to the Gryffindor table.
It seems that he is afraid that Kyle will regret it.
“Kyle, you are too impulsive...”
But before he finished speaking, a strange voice came from beside him.
“What you are doing is wrong!”
A little girl with brown hair was standing not far away looking at them.
Cedric was somewhat impressed by her, thought for a while and asked: "Are you... the new student of Gryffindor?"
“Yes, my name is Hermione Granger.”
“Cedric Diggory, hello!”
Hermione nodded towards him, then looked at Kyle and said seriously: "What you just did was wrong. Gambling is prohibited in Hogwarts."
"I know..." Kyle said nonchalantly: "So I want to help them get rid of this bad habit."
"What?"
Hermione was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Kyle meant.
“But you just clearly...”
"Don't worry about the details. It's difficult to explain in one or two sentences. You just need to know that I am helping them."
Kyle interrupted her, and then changed the subject: "What's the matter with you?"
“I’ve been thinking about it for many days, but I still feel like I should come and say thank you.”
As expected, Hermione no longer had to worry about Fred and George. He looked at Kyle and said seriously: "Thank you for saving my life that day."
"It's not that serious, I just...well, if you insist, I'll accept it." Kyle said helplessly.
He has been avoiding Hermione as much as possible recently, but he didn't expect that she would still remember this after so long.
"Is there anything else?" "Yes!" Hermione was not polite at all. She took out a "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" and opened it...
Kyle noticed that she had taken a lot of notes in her book, filling the margins of every page.
Hermione pointed to several places with special marks on the book and asked, "Can I ask you some questions?"
Kyle nodded and answered each of Hermione's questions in detail. During this period, Cedric on the side also gave his own insights.
Hermione listened very carefully.
These are things she didn't understand very well in class. She originally wanted to ask Professor McGonagall, but she just asked them out of nowhere.
But the result is the same.
Kyle and Cedric helped her solve all the problems in just a few words.
It wasn't until the last problem was solved that Hermione reluctantly closed the book.
At this time, her previous doubts about Kyle had long since disappeared.
She is indeed the first in her grade. The content that has troubled her for a long time was solved so easily. It is really amazing.
The same goes for Cedric, who is in third grade.
For a moment, Hermione regretted for the first time that she was sorted into Gryffindor. Hufflepuff was the paradise for learning.
Looking at their configuration, it is almost as good as one-to-one tutoring by a professor. Then think about my own...
“Hermione, lend me your homework!”
“What is the Charms homework…”
Two voices suddenly popped up in Hermione's head, which made her shiver unconsciously.
Forget it, it’s better not to think about it.
Hermione thanked her again and hurriedly left with the book in her arms.
Looking at her back, Cedric asked curiously: "Why did she just say that you saved her life?"
"It happened a long time ago." Kyle waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "And I didn't do anything. I just helped a little bit. She was a little fussy."
Cedric nodded as if understanding. He noticed that Kyle didn't really want to talk about it, so he didn't ask again.
“By the way, Harris asked us to gather at the Quidditch pitch today, you know.”
“I know, he told me last night.”
Speaking of this, Kyle also became interested.
After Halloween, the Quidditch season begins, which also means that their vacation is over and they must start training matches again.
Fortunately, their first opponent was Ravenclaw, and neither Harris nor anyone else seemed too nervous.
This can be seen from today’s training match.
The game is about to begin, and other colleges are trying their best to extend the use of the Quidditch pitch.
Slytherin's Marcus Flint even found Snape and shamelessly booked the use of the stadium for a whole day so that they could train as much as they wanted on the weekend.
Wood also wanted to do this, but Professor McGonagall did not agree.
Among the four teams, only Hufflepuff was the exception. Harris still arranged two hours of regular training for them.
Although saying this is not very friendly to Qiu, it is the fact.
Quidditch is a team game that requires team members to cooperate with each other in order to win. Ravenclaw, which has been stagnant for so long, cannot be reborn just because there is one more Seeker.
Ravenclaw has little chance of winning, unless Qiu can catch the Golden Snitch within five minutes.
Of course, if this is the case, then no matter how hard they train, it will be useless.
After leaving the auditorium, the two went back to the dormitory, picked up their broomsticks, and walked towards the Quidditch pitch.
