At the end of October, Laton finally returned from Romania after being away for more than a month.

Kyle put it back in the dormitory and filled its food bowl with dragon liver and tonics before untying the bag tied to its claws.

Inside was a lot of dragon scale badges and a letter from Charlie.

The letter said that the store did not have enough stock, so they had to rush to make a batch, which caused some delay.

Kyle sighed, secretly complaining about Old John's unprofessionalism.

If he had known this would happen, he would have bought less.

After such a long time, everyone has discovered that Dementors will not enter the castle, so few people have asked him about the badge recently.

Everyone is more concerned about something else now.

As the first Quidditch match draws closer, the atmosphere in the castle is at an all-time high. Everyone can't wait to watch the game. In this anticipation, let alone the Dementors, even Black who broke into the castle doesn't seem that important.

…

The day before the competition, the wind was howling and the rain was heavier than ever. The corridors and classrooms were too dark, so we had to light more torches and lanterns.

Nobody wants to play in this weather.

"Fortunately, the first match is between Gryffindor and Slytherin."

In the common room, Mikel glanced at the window that was hit by the strong wind and said thankfully, "This bad weather really affects our performance."

This is his first game and Mikel takes it very seriously.

The other team members around also nodded in agreement.

But when they arrived at the auditorium, Cedric told them some bad news.

"Our match has been moved up." He said grimly, "Flint just came to me and said that we will play against Gryffindor tomorrow."

"Why!" the team members asked almost at the same time.

Cedric said, "Flint's reason is that their Seeker broke his arm during training yesterday, and he wants us to take over."

"He's talking nonsense!" Mikkel said angrily, "Even if his arm is broken, Madam Pomfrey can grow it back in just one night.

"The reason they did this is obvious, they don't want to play in this weather and think it will reduce their score."

"Wait..." Mikel suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously, "Captain, you haven't already promised them..."

Cedric shook his head, "Not yet. I just said I need to think about it."

"There's no need to think about it, just reject it directly," said another team member.

"But Flint called Professor Snape." Cedric said with a heavy expression, "When I said I would think about it, he looked very unhappy."

"What, Professor Snape?" Mikkel couldn't help but raise his voice.

He really couldn't understand why it was just a Quidditch match, was it necessary to alarm the headmaster of Slytherin? "And..." Cedric paused before continuing, "If we don't agree, he will definitely go to Ravenclaw..."

"It's already this late, and you're still..." Mikel stopped talking halfway, turned around and asked:

"Kyle, which house are we taking our first Charms class with today?"

"Ravenclaw, eh?" Kyle said. "What's the matter?"

"Wait a moment..."

Mikel sat there with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

The team members around him didn't bother him.

A few minutes later, Mikel looked up again.

"I have an idea..."

He grinned and said, "If both we and Ravenclaw have players injured and hospitalized, then Professor Snape will have no reason to let us replace Slytherin."

"You're right." Cedric looked a little strange, "But getting injured and hospitalized just for a game... isn't that a bit uneconomical?"

"Don't worry, I've thought of it all..." Mikkel said confidently, "But first, I have to meet their Seeker Qiu Zhang before class... Can anyone of you go and call her for me?"

He originally thought that he would discuss it with his teammates and then agree to it.

After all, Kyle's waterproof and moisture-proof badge is still very useful. Even in this kind of weather, it won't have much impact on them, but they must feel uncomfortable.

You don't want to play, so you just find an excuse to replace us? Why?

Now that Mikel has said this, let's listen to his plan...what if it really works.

Soon, autumn came.

She looked a little unhappy, probably because she heard about the current situation from Cedric on the way.

"What do you have in mind?" she asked directly, sitting next to Mikel.

"It's just an idea, but I think it's feasible..."

The two of them whispered.

Qiu's expression gradually changed from worry to surprise, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter...

"It seems your method might work," she said.

"Isn't it?" Mikel said with a smile, "Now we only need the most crucial item. Wait for me, I'll go buy it now..."

"Wait." Kyle stopped Mikel, took out some candies and said, "No need to buy them, I just happen to have them here."

"Are you sure it will work?"

"It's better than the original one." Kyle raised his eyebrows, "and it won't cause any effects on the body."

…

Soon, it was time for class.

At the stairs, the people separated.

Cedric was going to the underground classroom for Potions class, while Kyle and the others went to the Charms classroom.

The Apparition spell they were going to learn today.

As usual, Professor Flitwick explained the gestures and spells in detail, then gave each person a blank piece of parchment and asked them to decipher the contents hidden on it.

"Show yourself quickly!"

The sound of students chanting spells could be heard in the classroom.

When Professor Flitwick walked to the other side of the classroom, Mikkel stuffed a bean into his mouth and then winked at Qiu.

Qiu noticed this and put something in his mouth as well.

The next second, without any warning, a violent white light suddenly flashed in the classroom.

Then Mikel let out an exaggerated scream and fell motionless on the table.

Professor Flitwick was startled. When he turned around, he saw Mikel lying motionless on the ground, and Qiu, who was pale and had a face that was more swollen than before.

"Oh my God, what happened!" Professor Flitwick was a little confused and had no idea what was going on.

But after he saw Mikel's condition clearly, coupled with the strong light that was both familiar and unfamiliar, some bad memories from a few years ago suddenly came to his mind.

No way, again?

Professor Flitwick's heart tightened, and he shouted quickly: "Quick, send them to the school hospital!"

Kyle reacted the fastest and rushed out first.
