If it was just adding a course, Professor McGonagall would probably not refuse, but changing the course... To be honest, Kyle felt that the possibility was not high.

But looking at the hopeful looks on Fred and George's faces, he just shrugged and said nothing.

Let them try. If Professor McGonagall is in a good mood today, she might agree.

The first class of this year was still the Charms class. After leaving the hall, Kyle said goodbye to the Weasley brothers and Cedric, and went to the fourth floor of the castle alone.

When he reached the second floor, Kyle suddenly saw two freshmen wandering on the stairs.

Harry and Ron.

They kept wandering around the second floor, circling the two false staircases, in a panic.

Kyle watched for a while and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing...exercise?"

Ron turned his head suddenly, and ran over with Harry in his hand as if he had seen a savior.

"We're going to the Transfiguration classroom, but we're 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 as well."

"Thank God!" Ron showed a relieved expression.

"Thank you, thank you." Harry looked at Kyle a little stiffly.

"It's nothing, just happened to be on the way."

Kyle led the two to the correct staircase and asked in confusion, "Didn't you buy the map of Hogwarts?"

Hearing this, Ron's face turned red all of a sudden, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Harry also said a little embarrassedly: "Twenty Galleons is too expensive. I, we can't afford it."

Although there were piles of gold in his vault, he did not bring much with him to school this time. After deducting the money for buying his wand and books, he had exactly twenty or so Galleons left.

The school has just started and there is still a long way to go. Harry naturally doesn't want to spend all his money on buying maps.

"That's not what I'm talking about." Kyle led them around a corner and said, "There are two types of maps. In addition to the 20 Galleon version, there is also a 10 Sickle version... Why, didn't Fred and George tell you?"

Harry and Ron both froze.

After Kyle said this, Harry suddenly remembered that there was indeed a leaflet about the map posted on the door of the common room.

However, he and Ron subconsciously thought that it was the kind they saw on the train, and neither of them looked at it carefully.

Thinking of this, Harry's face suddenly wrinkled into a ball, and he felt extremely regretful.

If only he had looked more carefully, he could have afforded it for ten Sickles.

"We're here. The Transfiguration classroom is over there."

After reaching the fourth floor, Kyle pointed in a direction, then took something out of his pocket and stuffed it into Harry's hand.

"This is a greeting gift."

Harry looked down and found two more maps in his hand, as well as a bag of... dried fish? "What is this?" Ron asked.

"Looks like cat food," Harry said. "Does Kyle have a cat?"

Ron thought for a moment and said, "He does have one at home."

Harry looked up hastily and shouted, "Kyle, you gave us an extra bag of cat food!"

"I'll give it to you too!"

Kyle seemed to be in a hurry to go to class. He said without turning his head, "I have plenty of that stuff. Take it back and feed it to the owl."

As he spoke, he turned a corner and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

this……

Harry stood there in a daze, holding the bag of dried fish.

"Come on Harry, class is about to start."

Ron suddenly pulled him and said hurriedly, "That's Professor McGonagall's class. We'd better not be late."

Harry came to his senses, put the dried fish in his pocket, and ran to the other side with Ron.

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 instead took them to review the spells they had learned last year.

He spent half a class checking everyone's levitation spell and softening spell, and only returned to the platform made of books after he was sure that most people could cast these two spells skillfully.

"Today we are going to learn the universal counteracting spell, which can eliminate the effects of ordinary spells... Watch my movements, and be firm when waving the wand. Also, the voice must be clear... Stop the spell immediately!"

After Charms, Kyle took History of Magic.

In the afternoon, there are two consecutive potions classes taught by Snape.

Just like last year, Snape still didn't treat Kyle well.

"Who told you to whisper while brewing the potion?"

Snape stood next to Kyle and said gloomily, "If you don't learn, don't affect others. Hufflepuff will lose one point."

Then he looked at Kanna.

"The lionfish bone was handled very well. One point for Hufflepuff."

Kyle looked at Snape calmly.

He was already used to the professor's double standards, and compared to the previous situation where he started with five points, this year's result was pretty good.

…

The first day of the new school year has passed. Although some classes were not very pleasant, it was still very fulfilling overall.

night.

The library on the second floor of the castle was very quiet, without a sound. The tall bookshelves blocked the moonlight coming through the windows, making it look much darker than other places.

“Crack…”

At this moment, the door suddenly opened a crack, just wide enough for a person to walk in.

“Tap tap…”

When the door closed again, there was a clear sound of footsteps in the library.

"Tsk, Filch is really too dedicated."

Kyle lifted the Disillusionment Spell and patted his chest in fear.

Just now when they were on the stairs, Filch suddenly jumped out from somewhere and almost brushed past his shoulder.

Kyle also noticed that Mrs. Loris stopped inexplicably when she passed by him and looked in his direction in confusion.

Kyle guessed that it must have discovered something unusual, but it was not sure yet.

Fortunately, Filch seemed to be chasing someone at the time, and at his urging, Mrs. Norris left quickly.

"It seems that using only the Disillusionment Charm when traveling at night is not safe. I have to find some time to find a spell that can cover up the smell."

Kyle calmed himself down and walked straight to the restricted books area.

He remembered the book that introduced Horcruxes in detail. It seemed to be called "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed".

Kyle suddenly felt a headache.

Although the restricted section only occupies a small part of the library, it still contains several thousand books.

Without using magic, it is not an easy task to accurately find the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" from here.

"Hopefully I can find it tonight."

Kyle sighed, then lit his wand and walked into the rows of bookshelves.
