But this year is a little different from previous years. Not only Hufflepuff, but the teams of the other three colleges also do not need to recruit new players.

Among the four teams, there is only one new face, Malfoy, and the others are old acquaintances from last year.

Kyle only watched the Quidditch pitch for five minutes before getting up and leaving.

It was so boring. He might as well discuss magic runes with Riddle instead.

Of course, Kyle also met Riddle's previous request...but it was not a fairy or a Bowtruckle, but something else.

"I'm sorry, Tom. I was spotted by Hagrid when I was trying to get to the Forbidden Forest. He was the gamekeeper and wouldn't let me go into the forest, but I found this."

Kyle placed a wood turtle on the diary.

As food for Bowtruckles... this thing has something to do with magical creatures.

And Riddle didn't seem to care whether he brought a thug or a bowtruckle. Instead, he asked with interest:

[Is it Rubeus Hagrid? ]

"It seems to be called this name. Do you know him?"

[In fact, we were classmates, but he was eventually expelled because of a serious mistake.]

【Do you want to know what happened? I can take you to see it. 】

"In no mood!"

Kyle wrote in his diary without hesitation:

"I'm only concerned with studying right now, so let's continue discussing runes."

[What I mean is that the reason why Rubeus Hagrid was expelled was related to another thing, a legend circulating in Hogwarts, about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets...]

"What secret room, what greenhouse, what do they have to do with me? Only studying can make me happy."

Before Riddle's handwriting disappeared, Kyle wrote in the blank space below:

"Oh, right, I still have some questions about the symbol representing 'light'. Is there another different order for the magic runes that make up it..."

Kyle wrote a lot of words until he couldn't write any more.

Riddle was a little confused. It was the first time he met someone who didn't play by the rules.

That's the legend of Hogwarts... Are you really not interested at all?

But in order not to arouse suspicion, he had to give up his original plan and stopped mentioning anything related to the secret room. Instead, he answered Kyle's questions.

After chatting with Riddle for a long time, at six o'clock in the afternoon, Kyle went to the West Tower again to join Professor Flitwick's Charms Club.

There were a lot more people here than Professor McGonagall's, more than twenty people, but Kyle didn't meet anyone familiar.

What you learn here is mainly practical operation, which is a bit similar to a duel.

Also very interesting.

…

It has to be said that Kyle has become increasingly busy since joining the professors' club.

Especially after entering October.

Because the three times a week Quidditch training has also begun.

In order to take Kyle's time into consideration, Harris deliberately adjusted his training to the days when he did not need to attend the club.

This also meant that Kyle had plans every night, either going to the eighth floor, the west tower, or the Quidditch pitch, and could not return to the common room until curfew.

Coupled with the heavy workload, Kyle was so busy that he wanted to apply for a time turner again.

There was no way out. Professor McGonagall could only allow him to skip classes, but he still had to do his homework...this was also to check his learning progress.

So, in order to squeeze out more time, Kyle set his sights on Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Although Defense Against the Dark Arts is a basic course and cannot be skipped, it is still okay to do other things in class.

It looks like he's taking notes.

But once you get closer you'll find that the contents of the parchment have nothing to do with what Lockhart said.

"The tea leaves formed the shape of an eagle, which means he has a mortal enemy, and the stick under the eagle's claws indicates that he will be attacked..."

Kanna looked at the contents of the parchment and asked in a low voice: "...You have another mortal enemy?"

"Oh, not mine."

Kyle said casually, "I asked the house-elves in the kitchen to bring Professor Dumbledore a cup of tea, and he drank it."

"Are you making a prophecy for Professor Dumbledore?" Connor said subconsciously.

Perhaps her voice was too loud, attracting Lockhart's attention.

"Miss Prince, do you have any doubts about this paragraph?" he asked.

"Sorry Professor, it's me."

Kyle stood up first, holding the book "Wandering with Werewolves" in his hand.

"I have never understood the principle of the human-recovery spell you just mentioned.

Is it a Transfiguration spell? Or is it a special spell like End of All Spells that can remove the influence of magic? "

"Both, kid."

Lockhart paused for a moment, then said in a brisk tone: "Although it is very easy for me to do, in fact, the restoration spell is very complicated and involves a lot of knowledge. You may not understand it..."

Kyle looked at Lockhart and smiled, "If it's you, there must be a way to make us understand."

"Of course I can."

"But this will take several classes, and I don't think your Headmaster Dumbledore will agree with me doing this."

Lockhart blinked. "I'm glad you noticed that though. Five points to Hufflepuff..."

We continue with the class, and that’s what you need to think about.”

Kyle sat back down.

Dealing with Lockhart is pretty easy as long as you find the right method.

"Thank you..." Kanna whispered, "But weren't you reading a divination book just now? How did it become "Wandering with Werewolves"? "

"Nothing has changed. It has always been divination."

Kyle spread out the books in his hand. "I just switched the covers."

"I should have thought of this earlier," Connor muttered softly, and then continued to ask, "So you were helping Professor Dumbledore with divination just now."

"Pretty accurate, isn't it?"

Kyle smiled and said, "Everyone knows that Professor Dumbledore has a mortal enemy. This is completely true."

"Where is the stick that represents attack... Would anyone dare to attack Professor Dumbledore?"

"That's hard to say."

Kyle stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Maybe it was Fawkes... Didn't you notice that Professor Dumbledore's beard is getting shorter? That's his work.

In a way, this could be considered an attack.”

Kanna frowned and expressed her doubt about Kyle's words, but she couldn't find any reason to refute it for a moment.
