Chapter 176 Gryffindor deducts ten points
After entering November, the weather became very cold, and frost appeared on the ground every morning.
A thick and hard layer of ice seemed to have formed on the Black Lake overnight, and many people were playing on it.
As soon as they left the warm castle, Kyle and Cedric felt a cold wind blowing against their faces.
"Hiss... it's so cold!" Cedric shivered and said, "Fortunately, I put on a thick robe a few days ago, otherwise I would have caught a cold again if I went out in this weather."
Last year, he failed to change his thick robe in time, causing steam to rise from his head for three days.
Madam Pomfrey's potion is like this, it works quickly, but it always has some weird side effects.
"I'll probably be a lot warmer during training soon." Kyle tightened his collar and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"You're right."
…
The two walked across the field to the Quidditch pitch.
They arrived quite early, and on the field at this time, Harris was moving the boxes containing Quidditch balls out.
Kyle also spotted Hagrid, wrapped in a long moleskin coat, defrosting his broomstick.
After seeing Kyle, Hagrid waved his hand enthusiastically and said, "Hey, Kyle, are you going to train today?"
"Yes, Hagrid."
Kyle walked over and took out his wand.
"Clean up!"
In an instant, all the frost on those broomsticks was removed.
"How convenient..." Hagrid looked at the wand in Kyle's hand with envy, and subconsciously glanced at the small pink umbrella in his pocket.
His wand is hidden in this umbrella, but for some reason, he cannot use it in front of outsiders.
"Is there anything else I can help with?" Kyle asked.
"No, thank you." Hagrid picked up the brooms and said with a smile: "If you ask me, you should train after lunch. The weather at that time was much warmer than now."
"No way, today is the last weekend before the competition, and all three academies are training." Kyle shook his head helplessly.
If possible, of course he would also like to train when it is warm, but unfortunately, Harris is too honest, and he agreed to use the last choice court after being deceived by others.
So much so that Ravenclaw occupied the four hours after ten o'clock, and the rest of the time belonged to Gryffindor, so they could only come at this time.
"It seems that everyone attaches great importance to this year's competition." Hagrid said: "But I believe that you can definitely win. After all, Hufflepuff was last year's champion."
"Of course, that's what I think too."
At this time, other team members also came to the stadium one after another. Kyle said goodbye to Hagrid and soon joined everyone in training.
Because today was just a regular training session, not studying tactics, Harris did not block the court.
About half an hour later, there were gradually more people in the stands.
Most of them are young wizards who like Quidditch. After discovering that the stadium can be freely entered and exited, they are also happy to come here to have fun before the official game.
As soon as ten o'clock arrived, Harris, who had been training for two hours, dropped from the sky with the others and handed over the use of the court to the Ravenclaw team who had been waiting here early.
Kyle followed everyone back to the castle.
Not long after, the spectators in the stands also came out, and it was obvious that they were not in a good mood.
Fortunately, this was not the first time that this happened. After complaining a few times, he rubbed his shoulders and hurried back to the castle.
Kyle gave them a thoughtful look.
"What are you thinking about?" Cedric noticed Kyle's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask aloud.
Kyle said, "What do you think about us making a heating prop?"
"Heating prop?"
"That's right." Kyle pointed to the people who were shivering from the cold.
"The temperature has dropped rapidly in the past few days, and it will definitely be even colder on the day of the Quidditch match. If we can introduce a convenient heating prop at this time, it will be very popular."
"Well..." Cedric seemed to be hesitant. He thought for a while and said, "What you said does make sense, but there is something you may not know yet."
"During last year's competition, in order not to be affected by the bad weather, we would use the Hot Wind Charm and the Warming Charm in advance, and these two spells are required to be learned by third graders."
Kyle didn't care much about Cedric's worries.
His target was not the senior students, not the third graders and above, but also the first and second grade students.
This is enough.
After having the idea, the two quickly found Kangna and the twins to discuss the matter.
Qiu couldn't come because she had to train.
Five people gathered in an empty classroom and stayed there until noon.
"Then it's settled, Kyle!" Fred said excitedly, standing at the door.
"After waiting for two months... I can finally do something big." George waved his hand and said: "You know, I have been looking forward to this since the beginning of school."
"It looks like I heard something interesting."
At this time, a gloomy voice suddenly came from not far away
Fred and George were startled and turned around to look.
Snape and Filch were standing at the corner of the corridor not far away, looking at them maliciously.
"It's you two again, I think I caught you this time..." Filch stared at Fred and George and gloated: "You have violated school rules again and again, and you still don't know how to repent."
As he spoke, he looked at Snape aside.
"How about putting them in a dungeon to make them remember. I have always maintained those chains and can take them out at any time."
Snape didn't speak. He just saw Connor next to Kyle, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Ten points from Gryffindor for making loud noises in the corridors."
Snape limped up to Kyle and said coldly: "Now, tell me what stupid idea you have."
If eyes could cast a spell, then Kyle would probably see hundreds of divine blades appear in front of him without any shadow at this moment.
"I think, Professor, you have misunderstood."
Kyle rubbed his shoulders and said uncomfortably: "We are just looking forward to the Quidditch match next week."
"That's the best." Snape narrowed his eyes and said, "If I find you lying or breaking any school rules, I promise to expel you."
Kyle twitched the corner of his mouth and felt a toothache.
He just couldn't figure it out.
Shouldn't Snape go to Harry to feel present? Why are you still holding on to him?
"Why don't you speak!"
Looking at the silent Kyle, Snape frowned and said in disgust: "Disrespecting Professor...another ten points from Gryffindor!"
