Chapter 147 Lost Harry and a Packet of Cat Food
If it was just adding a class, Professor McGonagall would probably not refuse, but changing classes... To be honest, Kyle felt that the possibility was unlikely.
But looking at the hopeful faces of Fred and George, he just shrugged and said nothing.
Let them try it. If Professor McGonagall is in a good mood today, maybe he will agree.
The first class this year was still Charms. After leaving the auditorium, Kyle said goodbye to the Weasley brothers and Cedric, and went to the fourth floor of the castle alone.
When walking to the second floor, Kyle suddenly saw two freshmen spinning on the stairs.
Harry and Ron.
They walked around the two false stairs and kept wandering on the second floor, turning around in a hurry.
Kyle watched for a while, and couldn't help saying: "What are you doing... are you exercising?"
Ron turned his head suddenly, as if seeing a savior, he pulled Harry and ran over.
"We're going to the Transfiguration classroom, but we got lost." He asked breathlessly, "Can you tell us how to get there?"
"Come with me." Kyle said, "I just happen to be going to the fourth floor."
"Thank goodness!" Ron showed a relaxed expression.
"Thank you, thank you." Harry gave Kyle a cautious look.
"It's nothing, it's just on the way."
Kyle led the two of them to the right stairs, and asked with some doubts, "Didn't you buy a map of Hogwarts?"
Hearing this, Ron's face turned red all of a sudden, he lowered his head and didn't speak.
Harry also said with some embarrassment: "Twenty Galleons is too expensive, I, we can't afford it."
Although there were piles of gold in his treasury, he didn't bring much with him to school this time. After deducting the money for the wand and books, he just happened to have about twenty Galleons left.
School had just started, and the days were still to come, so Harry naturally didn't want to spend all his money on maps.
"That's not what I'm talking about." Kyle led them around a corner and said, "There are two kinds of maps. In addition to the twenty Galleons, there is also a cheap version of ten Sikels... What, Fred and Didn't George tell you guys?"
Harry and Ron froze at the same time.
After being told by Kyle, Harry suddenly remembered that there was indeed a leaflet about the map posted on the door of the common room.
It's just that both he and Ron subconsciously thought that it was the one they saw on the train, so they didn't look carefully.
Thinking of this, Harry's face suddenly crumpled, filled with regret.
If only he had looked carefully at the time, he could still afford it for ten Sickles.
"Here we are, the Transfiguration classroom is over there."
After reaching the fourth floor, Kyle pointed in one direction, then took something from his pocket and stuffed it into Harry's hand.
"This is a meeting ceremony."
Harry looked down, only to realize that he had two more maps in his hand, and a pack of... dried fish?
"What's this?" Ron asked.
"Looks like pet cat food." Harry said, "Does Kyle have a cat?"
Ron thought for a while and said, "He does have one at home."
Harry hurriedly raised his head and shouted, "Kyle, you gave us an extra pack of cat food!"
"I'll send you off too!"
Kyle seemed to be in a hurry to go to class, and said without looking back: "I have a lot of that stuff, you can take it back and give it to the owl."
While speaking, he turned a corner and disappeared at the end of the corridor.
This……
Harry held the package of dried fish and stood there in a daze.
"Come on Harry, class is about to start."
Ron pulled him suddenly, and said hurriedly: "That's Professor McGonagall's class, we'd better not be late."
"Okay, okay."
Harry, who came back to his senses, put the dried fish in his pocket and followed Ron to the other side.
At this time, Kyle had already walked into the Charms classroom.
In the first lesson of the new school year, Professor Flitwick did not teach new content immediately, but led them to review the spells learned last year.
He spent half a class checking everyone's Levitation and Softening spells, and only after confirming that most of them could cast these two spells proficiently did he return to the high platform where the books were built.
"Today we're going to learn the Universal Breaking Curse, which can eliminate the effects of ordinary spells... Be careful with my movements, be sure to be firm when waving the wand, and the voice must be clear... The spell stops immediately!"
After Charms, Kyle took History of Magic.
In the afternoon, there were two consecutive sessions of Snape's Potions class.
Like last year, Snape still didn't give Kyle any good looks.
"Who told you to whisper to each other while brewing the potion?"
Snape stood beside Kyle, and said with a gloomy face: "If you don't learn by yourself, don't influence others, and Hufflepuff will deduct one point."
Then he looked at Connor again.
"The lion fishbone is handled well, one point for Hufflepuff."
Kyle looked at Snape calmly.
He has long been used to the professor's double-standard behavior, and compared to the previous situation where he started with five points, this year is not bad.
……
The first day of the new school year has just passed. Although some classes are not very pleasant, overall it is still very fulfilling.
night.
The library on the second floor of the castle was very quiet, without a single sound. The tall bookshelves blocked the moonlight from the windows, making it look much darker in other places.
"Squeak..."
At this time, the door was suddenly opened a crack, just wide enough for a person to walk in.
"Tap..."
When the door closed again, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the library.
"Tsk, Filch is too dedicated."
Kyle lifted the illusion spell, and patted his chest with some fear.
When he was on the stairs just now, Filch suddenly jumped out from an unknown corner, almost brushing his shoulder and walked by.
And Kyle also noticed that Mrs. Norris stopped inexplicably when passing by him, and glanced in his direction suspiciously.
Kyle guessed that it should have found something strange, but it's just not sure yet.
Fortunately, Filch seemed to be chasing someone at the time, and under his urging, Mrs. Norris quickly left.
"It seems that it is not safe to only use the disillusionment spell when traveling at night. I have to spend some time to find out if there is a spell that can cover up the smell."
Kyle collected himself and walked straight to the restricted area.
He remembered the book that introduced Horcruxes in detail, it seemed to be called "Secrets of Sophisticated Black Magic".
Kyle suddenly felt a headache.
Although the Restricted Section occupies only a small part of the library, it contains almost a thousand books.
Without using magic, it is not an easy task to accurately find the "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts" from here.
"Hopefully find it tonight."
Kyle sighed, then lit his wand and walked into the rows of bookshelves.
If it was just adding a class, Professor McGonagall would probably not refuse, but changing classes... To be honest, Kyle felt that the possibility was unlikely.
