Chapter 618: Professor's strange behavior
Chapter 618 The professor’s strange behavior
"Connor, listen to me. If you have time, it's best to take Snape to the campus hospital and let Madam Pomfrey take a look. I suspect he drank the wrong potion."
In the Hufflepuff common room in the evening, Kyle was persuading Connor to pay more attention to Snape's situation.
But his kindness did not get any response. Kangna just wrote her homework and had no intention of talking to him... Sometimes when she got tired of hearing it, she would even raise her head and glare at Kyle.
“I’m serious,” Kyle said.
He has been at Hogwarts for five years. From the first grade to the present, Snape has always deducted points from him. This is the case in every class, without exception.
To be honest, Kyle was still glad that only one point was deducted this time. It wasn't until he left the classroom and saw the angry eyes of the Slytherins that he realized that Snape was not talking about deducting points, but adding extra points. point…
Snape, who is addicted to deducting points, actually gave him extra points for the first time?
Kyle's first reaction was disbelief. Such an abnormal behavior was not because he drank the wrong potion.
That's why he wanted to persuade Connor to take Snape to the school hospital for a checkup. After all, the other person is Kangna's only family member. Even if she doesn't like the other person, she can't just sit idly by.
But Kangna doesn’t think so.
"Is there anything wrong with getting extra points for completing the professor's requirements well?" Seeing Kyle still chattering, Connor raised her head helplessly, "Professor Snape is just being strict with his usual requirements. A little, but this is an advanced class, the difficulty has been greatly improved, so it’s normal to give you extra points, right?”
“No, no, no.” Kyle shook his head wildly and cursed in his heart:
"This thing can happen to any professor, except Snape, who is always weird."
Of course, he did not dare to say this directly.
And the strange things don’t end there.
The next day, Professor McGonagall also gave him thirty points in the Transfiguration class, which was also a rare thing in normal times.
Although Professor McGonagall is fair, in order to ensure that there is not too big a gap in the scores of each college, the maximum number of extra points she gives in class is ten points.
This score will only increase unless you are learning particularly difficult new content, but even so, thirty points is already rare.
Coupled with the scores given by Umbridge, less than a month into the school year, Hufflepuff has become the number one in the house, more than 20 points ahead of the second-placed Slytherin.
"It's incredible." Cedric looked at the gems in the hourglass in the auditorium and sighed: "I really hope this ranking can continue until the end of the school year. In that case, our Hufflepuffs can break the record set by Slytherin and become Six consecutive championships.”
Cedric has some longing in his eyes. He will graduate next year, so he really wants to see Hufflepuff be full of honors and do something about it.
For example, leading the team to win this year's Quidditch Cup...
If he can do it, he will not only get a lot of academy points, but also win the honor of five consecutive Quidditch Cup championships. It is completely killing two birds with one stone.
“Hurry up, it’s time to train.” Thinking of this, Cedric suddenly felt his blood boiling, and he turned around and shouted loudly: “We only have three hours to use the field, so we all take our brooms and go to the field to gather.”
With that said, he rushed out of the auditorium first, completely ignoring the light rain outside.
“Really, I feel that Cedric is looking more and more like the original Oliver Wood.” Fred came over and patted Kyle on the shoulder, suppressing a smile and said.
“Yeah, there’s always a lot of pressure from being the leader,” George said. “Wood was much crazier than he was before he graduated. He wanted to let us stay on the court every night, but it’s a pity that Professor McGonagall didn’t allow it.”
“But you still lost.” Kyle said with a smile.
The faces of the two men immediately darkened, and they stared at Kyle with gritted teeth.
I have to say that although Kyle's words sounded harsh, they could not refute them, and it was Hufflepuff who broke their hopes of winning the championship.
"That's enough, you guys won't have such good luck again this year." "Harry won't be fooled a second time either!"
“Let’s wait and see.”
Although they are very good friends, when it comes to Quidditch, there are always only wins and losses, not friends.
“Will you participate in Quidditch this year?” Kyle asked curiously. "As far as I know, haven't you been busy setting up the Weasley Joke Shop?
“Developing products, stocking goods, choosing store locations… these are all things that require a lot of time and energy.”
"Ah, yes, but it's okay. If you only participate in training three times a week, you can handle it." Fred rubbed his head.
It was their dream to open a joke shop, but when they started to realize this dream gradually, they realized that it was so troublesome.
The first thing is the problem of goods. Although they have made many inventions, the quantity is still too shabby to open a store.
So they must rack their brains to research more gadgets. Whether they are popular or not, at least they have to be available.
There are almost more than 200 products in Jokowi's Joke Shop, and they can't be too different.
There is also the location of the store, which is also the most troublesome point.
Originally, Sirius said he could help with the shop, but now he is a little too busy taking care of himself because of the Ministry of Magic, so he can't let this distract him.
So the two wanted to do it themselves.
They decided on Diagon Alley, but the rent there was horribly high.
Although they have money now, even renting two rooms is not a problem, but they are all golden galleons, so they have to save money if they can.
They have been discussing this matter recently, trying to find a store with a good location and relatively not that expensive... but the result is not very satisfactory.
But think about it, if there is such a good place, it has probably been occupied by others, so how can they let them get it?
So they are going to add a little more start-up capital, so that they will be suitable.
That was a store selling owl nuts, but now most people choose to buy a snack when buying a pet, so their business is not very good and they are already planning to move to another place.
But the location of that place is very good. It is at 93 Diagon Alley, next to Gringotts.
After the little wizards withdraw their money, they always spend a lot of money...especially in the days before school starts.
So the two have been hesitating recently.
Fortunately, they will graduate in one year, so they have plenty of time to think about it slowly.
Kyle looked at Fred and George who suddenly looked sad and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Ah, no need, we can handle it ourselves." Fred shook his head, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and said warily: "Don't try to use this trick, let us let you go, it's useless."
"Yeah." George raised his eyebrows, "No matter what, we can't give up the Quidditch Cup to Hufflepuff this year!"
"That's what I should say." Kyle said with a smile and did not continue to ask.
Just in time, most of the other team members had already left the auditorium with their brooms. Mikel, who was walking at the back, urged him outside the auditorium, and Kyle quickly followed.
