This result was beyond many people's expectations, as they had always thought that Kyle did not perform well in the exam.

Not only them, but even Kyle himself was surprised.

Snape actually gave him full marks again? Kyle had thought before that Snape gave him full marks last year, probably because he saved Connor from Oren.

After all, we are a family, and we should always express our gratitude for saving our lives.

But why this year, because he saved Harry?

But this doesn't make sense, Harry doesn't have that much face... If it was Harley, maybe there might be some possibility.

Kyle was puzzled.

It couldn't be that Snape had a change of heart and decided from then on to become an excellent wizard professor.

This was too far-fetched. Kyle would rather believe that Voldemort was a hidden Muggle Intelligence agent... which was at least possible.

However, some people believe that such results are normal.

Fred and George had said this in the common room: "That's the funniest joke I've heard all year."

"Honestly, I'd rather believe that our little brother Ron can be a prefect than believe that Kyle will fail in the exam."

The same goes for Connor. She never believed that Professor McGonagall shook her head because she found out that Kyle did not do well in the exam. She firmly believed that there must be other reasons.

Facts have proved that she was right.

Some young wizards were so confused that they couldn't help but ask Professor McGonagall, but they were scolded as a result.

Professor McGonagall said that she shook her head because she felt that the gap between the others and Kyle was too big and she was a little disappointed.

Of course, this is just the surface statement, and no one knows what Professor McGonagall really thinks.

But no matter what, the school year is finally over.

Notices prohibiting the use of magic during the holidays were distributed to everyone, and everyone left Hogwarts either by carriage or ferry and boarded the train back to King's Cross Station.

…

"Hermione, you don't have to compete with Kel. After all, he is the youngest member of Merlin's Order."

In a private room, Harry looked at Hermione who looked irritated and consoled her: "You have done very well in the exam, and you are first in your grade..."

"But I didn't get full marks!" Hermione grabbed her messy hair in frustration.

"You just lost some points in potions." Harry thought for a moment and whispered, "That's Snape... No matter how good your potions are, as long as you're not a Slytherin, he'll find a way to deduct points."

"But Kyle is not a Slytherin either." Hermione frowned and said, "But he still got full marks, which means that other people can do the same.

I must have done something wrong... maybe I heated it for too long, the book said twenty seconds, but I forgot that it also takes time to extinguish the flame.

The same goes for the valerian branches. I feel like the two I picked are too long..."

Hermione recalled over and over again the steps she had taken to make the forgetfulness potion, and every time she thought about it, she seemed to find new mistakes.

Harry and Ron's faces became more and more embarrassed, and it was obvious that neither of them wanted to discuss this topic.

The holidays had just begun... On this beautiful day, they really didn't want to hear anything about grades, exams, etc., especially the Potions exam.

Ron was annoyed to the point of being unable to bear it any longer. He turned his head and looked at the corridor outside the door, trying to divert his attention in this way.

At this time, Kyle happened to pass by their box.

Because he had just received the Order of Merlin, he was followed by a large group of young wizards.

Each of them wanted to talk to Kyle, and the corridor was very lively.

"How impressive..." Ron muttered to himself, "If I could get both the Order of Merlin and a perfect report card, my mother would be very... Oh, no!"

Ron seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"No, Harry!"

Ron said with a bitter face: "Remember what I told you? Our family and Kyle are neighbors."

"Of course I remember."

There was a hint of envy in Harry's voice.

A wizarding village where his neighbors are his classmates from Hogwarts, this is exactly the life he has always dreamed of.

"Mom must have known..." Ron's voice was a little tearful: "I'm done!"

He originally thought that his grades were pretty good, at least he passed all the exams, but compared with Kyle's, his transcript was really a bit disappointing.

Oh, and Percy...

His brother was top of the fifth grade, and his neighbor was top of the second grade... Ron could already imagine what he would experience next.

Last summer vacation, Fred and George's screams scared away most of the goblins.

He had also mentally given Fred and George a catchy combined name.

"The Weasleys, a great help in keeping goblins away"

However, he may also join them this year.

Looking at Ron who was chattering away, Harry silently patted him on the shoulder, and the envy and jealousy in his eyes instantly disappeared.

It seems that having a good neighbor is not always a good thing.

Fortunately, he doesn't have this worry.

The Dursleys didn't care about his grades at all, so he didn't have to worry about being scolded even if he went back with a zero on his report card.

No...if he really got a zero, maybe his aunt and uncle would be very happy and give him an extra piece of dry bread that Dudley didn't want at breakfast.

Not having to compare yourself with others, or worry about poor grades, was probably the only good thing about the Dursleys.

Harry wanted to laugh, but his mouth seemed to be glued shut and he couldn't laugh.

Next to her, Hermione no longer continued to recall the process of the exam.

She looked at Ron, who was heartbroken, and opened her mouth, but said nothing.

To be honest, it was hard for her to understand Ron's current mood and she had no idea how to comfort him.

"If only I could be like Kyle..." Ron sighed and said quietly.

…

At the same time, in a box not far from them, Kyle was nervously asking, "How is it, no one is following us..."

“Very safe!”

Cedric stuck his head out and took a look in the corridor, then closed the door of the box and added a curtain with his wand.

"Huh... I finally got rid of them."

Kyle pulled off the invisibility cloak and breathed a sigh of relief.

Who would have thought that he hardly used the invisibility cloak during his night tour in the castle, but ended up using it on the train on his way back.

Those people were really too enthusiastic. If he hadn't used the invisibility cloak, he would probably still be surrounded now.
