Chapter 634: Ron's attitude
Chapter 634 Ron’s Attitude
The next morning, when people passed by the foyer, they suddenly noticed a large notice on the bulletin board at the door of the auditorium.
【Hogwarts High Inquisitor Order】
“In order to regulate school activities, all student organizations, associations, teams or clubs must be registered with the Senior Investigator (Professor Umbridge)…”
The students who were about to go to the auditorium to have breakfast gathered around the bulletin board and started talking. They didn't understand why the school suddenly added such a rule, and they were also worried about whether it would affect the clubs they participated in.
Outside the crowd, Kyle naturally saw this notice.
It seems that Umbridge has her own ideas and does not adopt all his opinions.
However, there are some changes. She previously wanted to dissolve all clubs and reorganize them, but now she only needs to register.
Although there is no difference in nature, it can save a lot of time.
There was a table next to the bulletin board, and Filch was sitting there with a stack of parchment in front of him.
"Everyone who needs to be registered is here. I will be responsible for this job!" Filch said loudly, with a bit of pride in his tone.
“The leader comes and writes down everyone’s names, activity time, and location.
“No activities can be held before registration is completed.”
There was a long queue in front of him, from the bulletin board to the gate.
Cedric was among them, and he was the first in line. When Kyle looked over, he had just finished writing.
“They include Quidditch.” After noticing Kyle, he quickly came over and said, emphasizing the words ‘Quidditch team’.
"But it's okay. Everyone knows the Quidditch team. There's nothing to hide. Just write the name."
After a while, Hermione and Harry hurried over.
“Hey, did you see that…”
“The announcement in the foyer.”
"Do you think she might know something?" Harry asked in a low voice.
"That's for sure." Kyle said, "But don't worry, she doesn't know the specific content, and she will be fine."
“Then why did she make such an announcement.”
"Because there will definitely be no problem if you dare to report it." Hermione said directly: "In this way, if she catches us gathering again in the future, she can justifiably convict us of a crime.
“However, she must be able to catch us first.”
Harry breathed a sigh of relief. Just when he was about to say something else, he suddenly found someone tugging on his arm.
It’s Ron.
"Let's go, Harry." He said with a straight face, as if he wanted to leave here quickly, "Don't reveal too much, maybe someone tipped you off."
While speaking, he glanced at Kyle intentionally or unintentionally.
"This..." Harry hesitated, but in the end he couldn't resist Ron and was dragged away by him.
"I'm sorry, Kyle." Hermione said angrily, "Ron is like this because of his brother's affairs. I think you must have some misunderstanding."
“I know,” Kyle said.
He had expected this to be the case since the news of his "fight" with the Weasley brothers spread.
Because only they know the truth about this matter, and no one else, including Hermione, knows.
This is also to prevent them from spilling the beans. After all, Kyle had seen Harry and Ron "conspiring loudly" in the corridor more than once. If they knew the truth, the risk would be somewhat high. Hermione looked at Kyle's indifferent expression and suddenly asked: "You must have some plan."
“Why do you say that?” Kyle said.
“Because Fred and George haven’t gone to the school hospital yet,” Hermione said.
“This little thing is nothing to Madam Pomfrey and can be cured in a few minutes, but they would rather cover their faces every day than go to the campus hospital.
“It’s like… you’re deliberately reminding others that they got into a fight with you, which is not normal.”
"Who knows..." Kyle said noncommittally, "Maybe it's also possible that they think that shape is more attractive."
"Come here quickly, Hermione, we have to go to class later." At this time, Ron's voice came again not far away.
Hermione frowned, and seeing that Kyle had no intention of explaining, she was about to go back.
"Oh, by the way." Cedric suddenly thought of something and said: "Remember to tell Angelita that the announcement also includes the Quidditch team and ask her to find time to register, otherwise you may There is no way to apply for court training.”
"Okay, I understand." Hermione said, then returned to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Harry.
"That girl is really smart." Cedric said with a smile: "She has almost guessed it, why don't you tell her the truth? After all, she was the first to suggest self-study in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Tell her She should be fine."
"It's definitely fine if it's just her alone." Kyle said, "But she will definitely tell Harry and Ron later, and the fewer people know about it, the better."
“That makes sense.” Cedric nodded, “But don’t you care about Ron’s attitude towards you?”
"What's the point?" Kyle said with a smile, "And strictly speaking, the worse his attitude towards me is, the better, so that it seems real and Umbridge will be more convinced that we have indeed fallen out.
“If he knew the truth, he wouldn’t be able to act out this feeling.”
"makes sense."
At this time, a large group of owls flew into the auditorium, and the few people stopped discussing Ron.
Kyle took a look at the Daily Prophet as usual. The front page was a photo of the Weird Sisters and the news that they would perform in Cornwall next.
There was also a wizard who, in order to play a trick on Muggles, enchanted an entire street of yards, causing the plants in the lawn to grow to ten feet tall overnight.
Finally, it’s the guessing game on the Daily Prophet.
They are all insignificant news, and there is no familiar name. This means that nothing major has happened in the magical world recently, and everything is calm.
Kyle put down the newspaper and looked up to see Filch walking in and handing a thick stack of parchment to Umbridge at the teacher's desk.
“When did she come here?”
“Just now, a minute ago,” Cedric said, glancing at Filch who was taking the parchment away again.
“It’s strange, Umbridge seems to have left all this to Filch.”
“There’s nothing strange about this.”
"I mean, doesn't Umbridge like to be in the spotlight?" Cedric said. "She is always keen to show her rights in front of students or other professors. This should be a good one." Take a chance.
A rule can make everyone line up to sign, which should give her a sense of accomplishment, but why would she leave it to Filch to do it? "
"Maybe she thinks this is a boring job." Kyle said, "Anyway, her goal has been achieved. All that's left is to write down a few names, time, and place. It's the same for anyone."
“And there are quite a few clubs or organizations in the school. There are almost fifty or sixty in total. It’s quite tedious to record them all.”
