The stone statue wielding a huge axe left a deep impression on them.

When many people mention the Dueling Club, the first thing that comes to mind is not Lockhart who makes a fool of himself throughout the whole process, nor the various spells, but the stone axe held high.

This was also the first time they had truly witnessed Kyle's strength...

How should I put it...it's very intuitive, no wonder he was able to win the Order of Merlin in his second year.

Compared with Kyle, the other "Order of Merlin" was much more ridiculous. Lockhart's series of lame performances almost made him a joke in everyone's eyes.

In addition, Professor McGonagall didn't know where she heard about what happened in the Dueling Club.

So in a Transfiguration class, she, contrary to her usual practice, asked Kyle to answer various questions, and for every correct answer, she would give Hufflepuff ten points.

After the class, Kyle added a total of 60 points to Hufflepuff... Excluding the 50 points deducted by Snape, there were still 10 points left.

Overall, the events in the Duel Club did not have much impact on Kyle's life, and it even helped him gain some fame.

But the other person is different.

Harry Potter.

According to Mikel and Ryan, after Kyle and the others left, Snape called him and Malfoy onto the stage again.

I don’t know if Snape gave special treatment to his own college, but Malfoy also made a mistake.

Faced with the same black venomous snake, Harry's solution was not as smooth as Kyle's, but he accidentally exposed his talent for Parseltongue.

This wouldn't be a big deal, but it's different at this time.

Everyone knows that the Chamber of Secrets was left by Salazar Slytherin, and Parseltongue is the famous skill of this founder.

Now, almost everyone regarded Harry as the so-called heir, and believed that it was he who wanted to kill Filch and Professor Carey Dibbagge before.

But some people don’t think so…

"Harry Potter wants to use monsters to purify the school? Don't be ridiculous."

On the grounds outside the castle, Fred said jokingly: "Knowing Parseltongue doesn't mean he is the heir of Slytherin. Don't forget that he is a Gryffindor."

"And his best friend... Granger, is a Muggle-born wizard." George said, "He wouldn't want to kill his friend... We know Harry, he would never do such a thing."

"We also believe it's not him."

“It’s a shame that most people don’t see that and don’t believe what we say,” Kyle said.

"That's strange, why does Harry speak Parseltongue?" Cedric asked in confusion, "I remember his parents are both Gryffindors."

"Who knows..."

They crossed the grounds and came to Hagrid's hut at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Oh, Kyle, you guys are here."

Hagrid was waiting at the door. When he saw them, he greeted them enthusiastically. However, when he saw Fred and George, his smile suddenly faded.

"I must warn you once again..."

"The Forbidden Forest is very dangerous, don't even think about sneaking in!" Fred laughed, "Hagrid, you've said this a hundred times."

"And we haven't been to the Forbidden Forest for a long time." George also said: "At most, we have looked for cats and raccoons nearby a few times, and they were all on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where it did not violate school rules."

"That's better." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief. "I mean, there's enough trouble at school right now. Don't even think about running to the Forbidden Forest."

"But I'm still very happy that you can come to help... Come in quickly."

Hagrid led everyone into the hut. With six people and Hagrid, the room seemed a little crowded.

Hagrid brought a large plate of rock cakes and everyone took a piece, but they just held it and no one wanted to take a bite.

After all, they have all seen the power of Rock Cake and don't want to go against their teeth.

"I would like to ask for your help in casting some spells around the chicken coop and the forbidden forest."

Hagrid put the sandwich aside and picked up a limp rooster from the shelf. "This is the second one to die this semester. There are bite marks on the neck. It might be a fox or a vampire..."

Kyle came up to Hagrid and looked up at the rooster's neck.

The wounds looked very strange, as if they had been torn, and it was impossible to tell what had bitten them.

"The principal has given his permission."

Hagrid said, "Originally I wanted to... uh, find a professor to help me, but the professors are all busy, so I can only ask you to help."

Fifty years ago, when Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, his wand was broken.

Although the wand was later repaired by Dumbledore and hidden in the red umbrella, he still could not cast any spells openly.

This is also the reason why he looked for Kyle... The location of the chicken coop is too conspicuous, and the spell that appears there must be reasonable.

In addition, there are other places where this also needs to be done, and the workload may be a little larger.

"It's just a beast-repelling spell. It's simple. I used it when I was at home." Fred put the rock biscuit into his pocket, stood up and walked out.

"By the way, you mentioned the chicken coop, where else is it?"

"Oh, around the Forbidden Forest."

"Bang..." Fred lost his balance and fell down the stone steps at the door.

"Hagrid..." He got up from the ground and said in disbelief, "Do you know how big the Forbidden Forest is?"

"Of course...I know."

Hagrid scratched his hair and said sheepishly, "You don't need all of them. Just cast the spell facing the castle."

Fred didn't say anything, but just sighed softly. Even this part of the forbidden forest in the school was not small.

He finally understood why the professor didn't have time. If he were the professor, he definitely wouldn't have time for such a huge area...

"As a thank you, I can help you find a Kneazle."

"Deal!" Fred and George nodded without hesitation.

"Oh, and you guys..." Hagrid looked at the others again: "If there's anything you like, you can tell me."

"That's fine with me," Kyle said, "but Hagrid, why do you suddenly want to cast a banishing spell around the Forbidden Forest?"

Hagrid's eyes became a little vague, "Nothing... I'm just worried that the animals in the Forbidden Forest will run into the castle."

Looking at him, Kyle seemed to understand something.

It must be the news about the Chamber of Secrets that reminded Hagrid of the giant eight-eyed spider in the Forbidden Forest... He was expelled because of this.

The Forbidden Forest was repelled by an expelling spell, probably because they were afraid that they would run out at this time.

But how can I put it? This is so un-Hagrid.

Based on Kyle's understanding of him, Hagrid would never do such a time-consuming and laborious task... Trust Aragog and he's done.

If everything hadn't been right, and the production process of the rock cake hadn't changed at all, Kyle would have thought that Hagrid in front of him was someone impersonating him using Polyjuice Potion.

"Hagrid, you should know."

When they got outside the hut, Kyle said to Hagrid, "The Beast Repelling Charm is actually a household spell. It only works on small animals like caterpillars, voles, and foxes... It can't even affect goblins."

"I know." Hagrid nodded, "But something is better than nothing."
