Chapter 81 Hufflepuff’s alternative group activities

After the dinner, everyone returned to their respective common rooms. ൠ

On the way, Cedric was still thinking about what just happened.

"Tell me, why is Professor Snape so angry?" He rubbed his chin and murmured to himself, "Did someone steal something from his storage room during the Christmas holiday?"

Snape had a private storage room. This was no secret at Hogwarts and many students knew about it.

And there are rumors that all the treasures in his storage room are extremely precious potion materials. Even the carpet is made of fire dragon skin. If you just grab something with your eyes closed, you can exchange it for a big one in Diagon Alley. Gold galleons.

Judging from Snape's appearance just now, if the reason for his anger was really related to the storage room, there must be a lot of things missing.

"Don't think so much, maybe he just received a Christmas gift he didn't like." Kyle took out his wand and knocked on the barrel in front of the common room door.

"That petty person, he is not satisfied with other people's gifts."

Cedric glanced sideways at Kyle and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The passage opened and the two entered the common room together.

They only came back a little late, but the lounge was already full of people. They were lying on the wooden table, frantically catching up on their holiday homework.

There are many people lying not only on the table, but also on the ground, and the number of people is still increasing.

In the huge lounge, I couldn't even find a place to set my feet.

Kyle was a little shocked.

Is this a Hufflepuff group activity? Wouldn't it be a bit out of place if you didn't participate...

But he has already finished his homework, so he can't do it again.

"Don't be surprised, that's what happened last year."

Cedric patted Kyle's arm from behind and said: "Our prefect once said that vacation time is very precious, and it would be a waste if it is used to do homework."

The prefect that Cedric was talking about was Harris, the captain of the Quidditch team. He was also a member of the army of making up homework. He was currently lying in the corner with his butt sticking out and writing furiously.

He originally had a desk that he could use, but just now, he gave that desk to a few freshmen.

He deserves to be a prefect.

Even the lounge has become like this, and the library is probably full already.

Kyle avoided all the parchment and ink on the ground and carefully arrived at the door of the dormitory.

Just as he was about to open the door and go in, Cedric suddenly called him.

"Kyle..." Cedric stood at the door of the second-year dormitory, looked at him from a distance and said, "I like the Christmas gift you gave me very much."

"Your gift is also great!" Kyle replied.

Then the two looked at each other and showed a standard fake smile.

…

The first class after school started was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

Not even five minutes into class, Hufflepuff was deducted twenty points.

Obviously, their "one pen, one light, one night, one miracle" operation last night did not succeed.

Even Kyle was deducted two points.

The reason was that he lent his homework to Mikel and Ryan, but they copied it exactly, without even leaving their names.

"Next time if you lend them your homework again... I will deduct twenty points from you!"

New ℴ𝓂

After Professor McGonagall glared at Kyle, she returned to the podium.

“The holidays are over, let’s collect our hearts.

What we are going to learn today is to turn a mouse into a snuff box. This is also the most important content this year. I can tell you in advance that you will definitely take the final exam.

If you fail to pass by then, don’t blame me for not telling you..."

After hearing that it was related to the final exam, the students quickly became serious. Everyone looked at Professor McGonagall seriously and took very detailed notes.

Final grades at Hogwarts are still very important. Take Fred and George for example. It doesn’t take much. As long as they have two “O”s on their transcripts, they can spend the whole semester comfortably. summer vacation.

This is especially true for those little wizards who come from Muggle families. Their parents don't understand magic and only care about their grades.

If the final grade is too bad, they can't explain it.

After class, those who had not completed their homework were all kept by Professor McGonagall, while the others quickly left the classroom.

They still have unfinished homework in other subjects, and their time is very tight.

There was only one class in the morning, and Kyle originally wanted to go to the library to read for a while before lunch, but when he arrived, it was already overcrowded.

It's the same situation in the lounge.

In desperation, Kyle could only go to the auditorium and watch for a while, just like waiting to eat.

Lunch was scones and fried pork chops, which was Kyle's favorite combination, but he had just taken two bites when Mikel and Ryan came over.

"Kyle, your Charms homework..."

"No, I won't borrow it!" Kyle took a bite of the scone, glanced at them and said, "I don't want to be named by Professor Flitwick again."

"Don't worry, it won't happen this time!"

Mikel raised his hand and said confidently: "We were just too sleepy last night. We will definitely revise it before submitting it today."

Kyle was deeply skeptical of his words.

Last night, he lent all his homework to Mikel and Ryan, but they only copied the Transfiguration class homework.

Moreover, when the two of them returned to the dormitory, they were in great spirits and had no intention of sleeping at all.

Even before Kyle fell asleep, they were playing wizard chess with great interest.

With this criminal record, how could Kyle dare to trust them again? He didn't want to fall into the same trap twice.

Besides, there are only less than two hours left before Charms class, so even if you just copy the time, you will be in a hurry. He estimated that the "modification" mentioned by Mikel most likely meant changing the name.

After finishing lunch, Mikel and Ryan still had no intention of giving up and followed Kyle step by step.

It wasn't until Kyle found an opportunity to cast a disembodiment spell on himself that he got rid of them.

Looking at the roommate who passed by him, Kyle was extremely glad that he had learned the Disappearance Charm.

This spell is so easy to use, like Avatar chewing a big melon, Expelliarmus, invisibility is the eternal god.

Praise the Illusion Charm.

Soon, Mikel and Ryan disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

There was definitely no way to go back to the dormitory. Kyle thought about it and went directly to the Charms classroom. Anyway, he just wanted to find a place to read. It was the same anywhere.

And compared to other places, the Charms classroom is undoubtedly much safer.

Because without classes, Mikel and Ryan would never come close to this place.
