Chapter 636 The Real Defense Against the Dark Arts Classroom
After being kicked out of the classroom by Snape, Kyle did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he put his ear to the door again under Connor's strange eyes.
But all he heard was a buzzing sound, as if a swarm of Billywigs were flying inside.
This is the effect of listening to the mantra with closed earplugs.
“Really, why don’t you have any trust at all?” Kyle muttered in a low voice.
He knew that he would not hear any breaking news today.
There was no other way, so Kyle had no choice but to leave the underground classroom with Kangna. At the same time, he also expressed his guess.
"It's unlikely..." Connor hesitated, "But why did Professor Snape use the Oblivion Curse on Umbridge."
Although she also knew that Snape was indeed a bit mean when he got along with professors with whom he had a bad relationship, such as Lupine or Sirius, he had never done anything against him.
Even when facing Sirius, they always mocked each other and never took action directly, let alone acted behind their backs.
After all, they are all professors, and this is Hogwarts. They cannot do anything too outrageous, and they will restrain themselves even if they are angry again.
"It shouldn't be wrong. You should have noticed that the questions Umbridge asked are exactly the same as last time. This means that she does not remember that she has been here once."
Kyle looked back at the underground classroom that was getting farther and farther away, "As for why Professor Snape did this, maybe it was because Umbridge said something outrageous... It was absolutely normal for this kind of thing to happen to her. ."
Kyle originally wanted to wait a little longer. He was curious whether Snape would use the Oblivion Curse on Umbridge this time.
But no one came out of the underground classroom, and the next class was Professor Sprout’s herbal medicine class. He could only suppress his curiosity for the time being, and walked with Kangna towards the greenhouse outside the castle.
During dinner today, the atmosphere in the auditorium seemed very subtle. Some people seemed to be vaguely looking forward to something and were extremely excited.
Fred also accidentally lit a firework, and a ball of lion-shaped sparks ran and jumped over the auditorium, scaring some lower-grade students into screaming and running around, knocking over several containers. Cup of pumpkin juice.
And Fred also paid the price for his behavior, and was deducted twenty points by the angry Professor McGonagall.
But unlike them, Cedric, who had been nervous for several days at the Hufflepuff table, was uncharacteristically calm.
“Are you not nervous anymore?” Kyle asked.
“It’s strange.” Cedric took a spoonful of corn soup, “I was too nervous to eat at lunch, but after class just now, I suddenly felt nothing.
"We have been preparing for a long time, thinking about all possible scenarios and preparing accordingly. In this case, why should I be nervous."
“That’s good if you think so,” Kyle said.
He discovered that Cedric and Harry were in two different states. Harry had been acting normal in the past few days, but now he was sitting there nervously in a daze, not eating a morsel of food. Even Fred accidentally lit the fire. The fireworks failed to attract his attention.
Cedric was just the opposite, and he became more relaxed at this time.
“Will you go to the Room of Requirement today?” Cedric asked: “At noon today, everyone who is determined to participate in self-study of Defense Against the Dark Arts has signed a magical contract.
“Under the influence of magic, they cannot reveal what is going on in the Room of Requirement to others, and you don’t have to worry about Umbridge knowing.”
"If that's the case... okay." Kyle nodded.
To be honest, he was also curious about what Cedric would do. Besides, it didn't matter even if Umbridge knew.
Kyle had to admit that although Professor Lockhart's character was not very good, he did teach him a very useful spell, especially when facing the current situation, it could solve a lot of troubles. .
At half past seven, Kyle, Connor, and Cedric left the Hufflepuff common room and walked towards the Room of Requirement. "I asked before. The house elves can't take us to the eighth floor. We can only go there in batches."
Cedric glanced at the portrait of fruit at the end of the corridor and said, "They cannot use magic in front of students unless they have the consent of the principal."
"Then you can just go to Professor Dumbledore and say no?" Kyle said.
“Are you kidding me?” Cedric glanced at him. “Our behavior tonight will violate at least ten school rules. How can we tell the principal? He will definitely not agree.”
"That's not necessarily the case." Kyle said, "You also want to study, don't you? I dare say the principal won't mind giving you some privileges."
"This... let's forget it." Cedric hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
As a standard Hufflepuff, he still had a bit of a principal filter for Dumbledore, and he never thought of telling him about violations of school rules.
Kyle is probably the only person in the entire Hogwarts who has this idea and dares to do it.
By the time they reached the eighth floor, there was already a door opposite the Silly Barnabas Tapestry.
Cedric stepped forward and knocked three times, then opened the door and walked in.
In the room were Hermione, Harry, Ron, Fred and George.
After seeing Kyle coming with him, Ron's face darkened. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Fred and George approaching him with excited faces.
“I knew you were coming, mate,” said Fred.
“Although your plan is also very important, it would be a pity to miss such an interesting thing.”
"This... you are not..." Ron stared blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling that his brain was a little exhausted.
Didn’t they have a falling out?
They had ignored each other before, so they reconciled so quickly?
However, Hermione, who was holding a book next to her, showed an expression that was exactly like this.
She had already guessed that Kyle and the others must have some plan, but Ron was too stupid to see it.
"But this is the first time we know that you actually defend us like this..." Fred stepped forward and patted the sluggish Ron.
"Yeah." George said with a smile, "This will make us embarrassed to tease you in the future..."
No matter how stupid Ron was, he realized at this time that he had been deceived.
I am the younger brother of Fred and George, but they actually hid everything from me and watched him make a fool of himself, but they still said nothing...
There is no such thing!
Ron felt that he had been betrayed, his face turned red with anger, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would never meddle in others' affairs again!
Seeing Ron's angry look, Fred and George laughed even more happily.
At this time, Kyle was looking around.
The bookshelves here are filled with books related to Defense Against the Dark Arts, ranging from simple to profound. You can find something suitable for any grade here.
In addition, there are some special magic items on the shelf. Although they are the most basic things, such as looking glasses, demon-seeking pointers, and manifesting mirrors, they can also play a good auxiliary role.
