Twenty Galleons...

Fred and George looked up at the same time, hesitantly looking at Kyle.

To answer or not to answer...that is the question.

If they accepted it, once Kyle guessed correctly, they would not only lose all the money they had earned before, but also lose a lot more.

But... with twenty glittering golden galleons in front of them, they couldn't say no.

George licked his dry lips and asked, "Twenty Galleons...Are you sure?"

Kyle raised an eyebrow. "Give it a try and sweep the light wheel. And I can tell you what my guess is right now."

As he spoke, he leaned close to the two people's ears and whispered a few words.

"Qirro will stay until after the final exam, and the ending..."

After hearing what Kyle said, the twins gasped.

Then the two looked at each other.

"You're not going to tell our mother about this..." Fred asked doubtfully.

Kyle's words just now sounded like he was giving them Galleons. He always felt that this kind of good thing that fell from the sky was a little unreal.

Kyle affirmed, "Of course not, I promise."

George took a deep breath and said, "Okay, we'll take it!"

"A wise choice." Kyle looked at them meaningfully, then picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and took a sip.

Cedric and Connor, who were standing by, were staring at it in amazement. It was only now that they realized what was happening.

Twenty Galleons is not a small amount of money. It is more than many people's pocket money in a school year.

Just when Cedric was about to persuade Kyle not to be so impulsive, Fred and George quickly collected the Galleons on the table and ran back to the Gryffindor table.

It seemed as if he was afraid that Kyle would go back on his word.

"Kyle, you are too impulsive..."

But before he could finish his words, a strange voice came from the side.

"It's wrong for you to do this!"

A little girl with brown hair was standing not far away watching them.

Cedric had some impression of her, thought for a moment and asked, "Are you... a freshman in Gryffindor?"

"Yes, my name is Hermione Granger."

"Hello, Cedric Diggory!"

Hermione nodded at him, then looked at Kyle and said seriously, "What you did just now was wrong. Gambling is prohibited in Hogwarts."

"I know..." Kyle said nonchalantly, "So I want to help them get rid of this bad habit."

"What?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Kyle meant.

"But you just clearly..."

"Don't worry about the details. It's hard to explain in one or two sentences. You just need to know that I'm helping them."

Kyle interrupted her and changed the subject: "What are you doing here?"

"I thought about it for many days, and I still feel that I should come and thank you."

As expected, Hermione didn't dwell on Fred and George anymore. She looked at Kyle and said seriously, "Thank you for saving my life that day."

"It's not that serious, I just...Okay, if you insist, I accept it." Kyle said helplessly.

He had been trying his best to avoid Hermione recently, but he didn't expect that she would still remember this after so long.

"Anything else?"

Kyle noticed that she had so many notes in her book that the margins of every page were filled with writing.

Hermione pointed to a few places in the book with special marks and asked, "Can I ask you some questions?"

Kyle nodded and answered each of Hermione's questions in detail. During this time, Cedric also gave his own insights.

Hermione listened very carefully.

These were the parts she didn't quite understand in class, and she had originally intended to ask Professor McGonagall about them, but somehow she just asked them out loud.

But the result is the same.

Kyle and Cedric helped her solve all the problems in just a few words.

Only after the last question was solved did Hermione reluctantly close the book.

At this point, her previous doubts about Kyle were long gone.

As expected of her being the top student in the grade, she was able to solve the problem that had troubled her for a long time so easily. She is really amazing.

The same goes for the third grader named Cedric.

For a moment, Hermione regretted for the first time that she was sorted into Gryffindor. Hufflepuff was the paradise for studying.

Look at their configuration, it's almost like a professor's one-on-one tutoring. Then think about my own...

"Hermione, let me borrow your homework!"

"What's the Charms homework?"

Two voices suddenly popped up in Hermione's mind, which made her shiver unconsciously.

Forget it, let’s not think about it.

Hermione thanked him again and left in a hurry with the book in her arms.

Looking at her back, Cedric asked curiously, "Why did she just say you saved her life?"

"It happened a long time ago." Kyle waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "And I didn't do anything. I just helped a little. She was the one who made a fuss."

Cedric nodded as if he understood. He noticed that Kyle didn't really want to talk about it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, Harris asked us to gather at the Quidditch field today, you know."

"Yes, he told me last night."

Speaking of this, Kyle also became interested.

After Halloween, the Quidditch season began, which also meant the end of their vacation and they had to start training again.

Fortunately, their first opponent was Ravenclaw, so neither Harris nor the others seemed too nervous.

This can be seen from today's training match.

The game is about to start, and other houses are trying their best to extend the use of the Quidditch field.

Marcus Flint from Slytherin even approached Snape and shamelessly booked the use of the stadium for a whole day so that they could train to their heart's content on the weekend.

Wood wanted to do the same, but Professor McGonagall did not agree.

Among the four teams, only Hufflepuff was an exception, and Harris still arranged two hours of regular training for them.

Although it's not very friendly to Qiu to say this, it's the truth.

Quidditch is a team game that requires cooperation between players to win. Ravenclaw, which has been at the bottom of the league for so long, cannot be reborn just because of the addition of a seeker.

Ravenclaw has little chance of winning unless Cho can catch the Snitch within five minutes.

Of course, if this were the case, then no matter how much they trained, it would be useless.

After leaving the Great Hall, the two returned to the dormitory, picked up their brooms, and headed towards the Quidditch pitch.
