But even if you are careless occasionally and get deducted points, it doesn't matter. We Hufflepuffs don't care about this. As long as everyone is happy in Hogwarts, that's all."

Prefect Harris was talking to the crowd, while Kyle was sitting at the outermost edge, keeping his head down and saying nothing.

"Kyle, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

At this time, Cedric came over and handed him a glass of juice and said, "Fresh orange juice, a glass before going to bed is definitely a good choice."

Kyle didn't answer, nor did he even raise his head. He just waved at Cedric to indicate that he didn't need it.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I just feel a little sleepy." Kyle still didn't look up, and said in a slightly hurried tone: "And I don't like to drink before going to bed, you can ask other people."

This abnormal behavior naturally aroused Cedric's curiosity. He tentatively took two steps to the left, but found that Kyle turned in the opposite direction almost at the same time.

Something is wrong. It's absolutely wrong.

"Okay, then I'll go ask other freshmen." Cedric walked quickly to the side, then held his breath, took the lightest steps, and walked in front of Kyle again. After estimating the position, he quickly lay down on the ground.

Kyle was still wondering when he could return to the dormitory when suddenly a furry head popped up in front of him.

The two looked at each other...

"Kyle, what happened to your eyes? Why do you have such a big dark circle?"

"nothing!"

Kyle quickly raised his hand to cover his left eye and said seriously, "I just bumped into the table by accident. It's normal to have bruises."

"Can it be that round when it falls?" Cedric sat on the ground and stroked his chin and said, "It looks like someone punched him."

"Impossible, you think too much!" Kyle said seriously: "Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe Hufflepuff? This is the warmest family in the whole Hogwarts. How can there be such a violent person?"

"That's true. Could it be that he really fell?" Cedric nodded in agreement.

He also didn't believe that Hufflepuffs would beat up new students on the first day of school, as that usually only happened in Slytherin.

But he still didn't understand, if he really fell, why would the "dark circles" be so round.

Gifted?

Just when Cedric was puzzled, the class leader Harris's meeting just ended.

"From today on, we are classmates. If you need any help, just tell me. Don't be embarrassed.

Hufflepuff is a warm big family. Every senior, including me, will help you.

You should be sleepy now, I will take you to your respective dormitories, Patty, you will be in charge of the girls' side."

Kyle stood up from the sofa as if he had been pardoned, and followed the group. He didn't even say hello to Cedric before leaving.

Under Harris's guidance, Kyle quickly arrived at his dormitory.

Like the public lounge, the main colors here are yellow and black.

The copper lamp casts warm light on the four-poster bed in the dormitory, and there is a copper bed warmer hanging on the wall, which can keep the little wizard's bed at the most comfortable temperature.

There were two other people sharing the same dormitory with him.

Mikel Drake is a thin, dark-haired boy.

The other one is blond and relatively strong, his name is Ryan Baggins.

As for the remaining bed, it was empty, probably because there were not enough new students.

Kyle tilted his head, greeted the two briefly, and then climbed onto the bed.

"Hey, this is amazing, isn't it? I'm actually a wizard." Mikel sat on the bed and said excitedly, "No one in my family knows magic. My father sells drilling rigs and my mother works in a bank, so when I first received the letter, I thought it was just a prank, but I didn't expect it to be true.

Haha, Hogwarts... I still think I am dreaming."

"I'm half and half, which is what wizards often call a half-blood."

Ryan, who has blond hair, echoed: "My dad is a wizard and my mom is a Muggle. She was horrified when she found out the truth."

"Of course, this is the case for people who have never been exposed to magic." Mikel said, "You may not imagine that when the professor named Quirrell appeared in our house, my parents almost called the police.

He just stood in front of us all of a sudden, and he said that was called a change of position...movement?"

"Apparate." Kyle whispered a reminder.

"Yes, that's right, Apparition."

Mikel looked over and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Hey, I remember you. You are the Kyle Chopper who took twenty minutes to complete the sorting, right?"

"Yes, nice to meet you." Kyle replied.

"Well, can you tell us what happened?" Mikel asked curiously, "Why did your sorting take so long? Twenty minutes, longer than all the freshmen combined."

"Nothing." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "It's just that the Sorting Hat is always struggling with where to sort me and hasn't made up its mind yet."

"So that's how it is." Mikel said with emotion: "You must be very good to make that hat think for so long."

Kyle just smiled and said nothing.

He is excellent, that's for sure, but that has nothing to do with the Sorting Hat.

And if Mikel knew the real reason why the Sorting Hat was so confused, he probably wouldn't have said that.

For the next period of time, Mikel seemed to be full of energy and kept talking.

From Diagon Alley to Gringotts, and from Gringotts to choosing a wand, there was no pause in between.

It seemed that being a wizard really made him very happy.

At the beginning, Kyle and Ryan could still say a few words, but gradually, only Mikel's voice was heard in the dormitory.

There’s no way. I can’t stand it.

I felt sleepy after eating, and I had been sitting on the train for more than ten hours, so it was not easy to stay awake until now.

Kyle also wanted to talk to his roommate to enhance their friendship, but the bed was too comfortable and he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.

Ryan next to him fell asleep even faster and had been silent for five minutes.
