In the past two days, in almost every class, someone has asked about the secret room.
But other professors were not as easy to talk to as Professor Sprout.
During the Transfiguration class, a Gryffindor raised her hand during a break in Professor McGonagall's lecture, but she was ruthlessly interrupted just as she said the word "Chamber of Secrets".
"Ten points to Gryffindor."
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said, "Ms. Bell, I hope you can pay more attention to your own performance instead of those vague legends.
If I remember correctly, you haven't turned the buttons into beetles yet... Don't forget that this was the content of our first class and Halloween is over.
If you keep going like this, you might not even get a P (pass) on the exam."
Katie Bell from Gryffindor blushed and sat back with her head down.
With her previous experience as a lesson, others will naturally not make things difficult for themselves.
Of course, this is just the Gryffindor students... Hufflepuff is a different story.
They had just learned the truth from Professor Sprout, so there was no need to ask Professor McGonagall.
Looking at those classmates who were still kept in the dark, the little badgers suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Gryffindor students are no more than this...
When the get out of class was over, Kyle planned to go directly to the auditorium and go to the first floor to have lunch... But just as he got to the first floor, he heard a rapid "crackling" sound coming from above his head.
He was very familiar with these sounds. They were the sounds of explosions caused by the props set up in Myrtle's bathroom being triggered.
Without any hesitation, Kyle turned around and ran upstairs, taking out his wand and box as quickly as possible.
"Is it the person holding the diary, or... a basilisk!" Kyle felt nervous.
It would be fine if it was a human, but if it was a basilisk... I don't know if it would listen to me.
If it doesn't listen...will the Norwegian Ridgeback Norbert be able to deal with it?
With such mixed feelings, Kyle ran all the way to the corridor where Myrtle's bathroom was located.
But when he got here, he was suddenly stunned because the people who appeared at the door of the bathroom were all acquaintances.
"Harry, Hermione, Ron?" Kyle asked subconsciously, "Why are you here?"
The three seemed to be frightened by the series of explosions, and only suddenly reacted after hearing Kyle's voice.
Harry turned around and stammered, "We...we were just passing by...yes, just passing by!"
As he spoke, Kyle also noticed that Hermione was holding a large, thick book that seemed to be moldy.
After noticing Kyle's gaze, she immediately hid the book behind her back...the words "guilty conscience" were almost written on her face.
Although she moved quickly, Kyle still saw the word "potion". If he guessed correctly, it should be "Powerful Potion".
A high-end potion book, and he had an identical handwritten copy in his box.
Kyle didn't care. He looked at the dark faces of the three people and finally felt relieved.
Just hope it’s not a basilisk.
"Whether you are just passing by or for some other reason, I think you should just run." Kyle said, "We just finished the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall should not be far away."
"Professor McGonagall?!"
The three of them were like cats whose tails were stepped on, and they almost jumped up in fright.
"If she finds out we blew up the bathroom..."
"Ron, we didn't blow up the bathroom!" Hermione corrected, "We just opened the door and didn't even go in."
"I know, but Professor McGonagall doesn't know!"
"Stop talking, run!"
Perhaps because of the lesson from last Halloween, the three of them ran away without hesitation.
When they passed by Kyle, they did not forget to thank him.
"Thanks for the reminder, Kyle."
"We're leaving first!"
The three of them reached the stairs as quickly as possible and began running towards Gryffindor Tower.
The tabby cat then jumped off the handrail and transformed into Professor McGonagall in mid-air.
“So this is it…”
She hurried to the bathroom, "Oh my God, what on earth is going on here? Is someone practicing blasting spells?"
Kyle also came over.
I have to say that Professor McGonagall's description was a bit exaggerated.
In the bathroom, apart from the surrounding walls, ceiling, and the corridor at the entrance which were blackened by smoke, there was no other damaged area.
The "exploding textbook" is, after all, Joko's joke prop. Apart from making a loud noise, its lethality can be said to be almost zero.
Otherwise Kyle wouldn't dare to put them up in the school.
Professor McGonagall soon noticed this, but she was still very angry.
"Professor McGonagall, I came here because I heard the noise," Kyle said first.
Professor McGonagall glanced at him and nodded.
"Was there anyone else here when you came?"
"There are three." Kyle pointed in the direction of the stairs and said, "They just ran away from the stairs when I came here."
"Who is it!" Professor McGonagall asked with pursed lips.
Kyle pointed at the dark wall and said, "Their faces were just like this wall. I couldn't see them clearly at all."
Professor McGonagall looked at the wall of the bathroom, then at the three clear human figures in the blackened corridor at the entrance. She seemed to have thought of something, and a faint smile appeared on her originally serious face.
"Another of Zuko's stuff..."
She had no intention of chasing Harry and the others. She just took out her wand, restored the bathroom to its original state, and then drove away the people around her.
The commotion just now attracted many students who came to watch the fun. They thought that someone else had been attacked like Filch.
During this process, Myrtle was so quiet that she seemed as if she didn't exist. It was not until Professor McGonagall left that she carefully poked out her transparent head.
"Three annoying people were driven away... I didn't expect that the things you put there would be really useful."
"What do you think that is?" Kyle, who had turned back halfway, looked at Myrtle and whispered.
"The old books you don't want..." said Myrtle. "Will you put new ones in?"
"certainly."
The last time he went to Hogsmeade, Kyle bought a lot of things at Zonko's, including the "Exploding Textbook".
Although there are only two books, judging from what happened just now, these are enough.
…
When Kyle returned to the hall, lunch had already begun. Professor McGonagall was sitting in the guest of honor seat, talking to Professor Flitwick.
Harry and the other two arrived later, halfway through lunch, and walked in with their heads lowered.
They all changed their clothes and tidied their messy hair as they walked.
In the guest of honor table, Professor McGonagall looked at them thoughtfully.
…
"Tomorrow is the Quidditch game."
Nearby, Harris was talking to Cedric, "Gryffindor and Slytherin, we can just see the power of those brooms, and their new Seekers."
Harris was referring to Draco Malfoy, only he was the new guy.
Cedric nodded, "I'll keep an eye on it."
"I hope he got into the team because of those brooms, and not because he's a genius like Potter." Harris said hopefully.
Seven brand new Nimbus 2001s would be fine, but if they add an excellent Seeker... the other three teams would have no chance at all.
