Faced with Kyle's proposal and the eager eyes of his students, Professor Lupin hesitated for a long time and finally agreed.

"I'll give it a try, if the principal agrees."

Kyle was right. It was always a good thing to learn one more spell, and he had no reason to refuse.

And before class today, Harry also came to him about this matter.

There is no difference between teaching one and teaching a group.

The Patronus Charm also has a special feature: the light it emits can provide additional joy to the people around it. In other words, the more people there are, the easier it is to learn this spell.

"but……"

Before the students cheered, Professor Lupin raised his voice and added: "It all depends on whether the principal agrees. As for the time, I'm afraid I can only wait until next semester. I have a lot of things to do before the holiday."

The students don't care about this at all... as long as they can learn, it's fine, and there's only a little over a month left until the Christmas holiday, so they can still wait for this little while.

After class, everyone left the classroom cheering and couldn't wait to share the news with more people.

“This is fantastic.”

During lunch, Cedric said excitedly: "I tried to learn this spell, but I couldn't find the key. No matter how hard I tried, I could only release a cloud of smoke.

I was thinking about asking Professor Lupin, but now it seems that it is not necessary. It just takes a little time, so I have to wait another month."

There are many people who share the same idea as him. In the coming period, people are looking forward to Christmas even more. In addition to the two-week holiday, there is also the "Patronus Club" that will be held soon.

At the end of November, the second Quidditch game began.

Because Harry's broom was damaged, their rematch with Slytherin was scheduled for next semester, this time according to the original schedule.

Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw.

After replacing half of the old players, Hufflepuff's chance of winning the championship has turned into the last one among the four houses.

This can be seen from the number of supporters in the stands.

Kyle took a quick look on his broomstick...

During the previous game, more than half of the stands were filled with yellow flags representing Hufflepuff, but now only this small piece of the Hufflepuff stands is left, and it looks like an isolated island in the blue ocean.

Ravenclaw is just the opposite. Last year they found two very talented chasers to make up for the team's last deficiency. After a whole year of training and competition, they have begun to show their potential.

In the Gryffindor area, Fred and George were waving a blue flag vigorously. After noticing Kyle's gaze, they quickly took out a yellow one from behind and started waving it.

But how to put it... the workmanship of this flag is obviously much rougher, and it looks like an old bed sheet torn off before departure.

The difference in treatment is too obvious, Kyle curled his lips.

But there was no time to think about these things now. He took the Quaffle thrown by his teammate and started flying towards the opponent's goal.

…

The Dementors didn't cause any trouble this time, but the game didn't last long either.

Twenty minutes later, Cedric, with his excellent ability to accelerate in corners, caught the Golden Snitch before Qiu, winning the final victory for Hufflepuff.

There was a burst of excited cheers from the stands.

"See, Harry, fast corners mean real fast."

Wood shouted at the top of his voice: "After the rematch, we will face Hufflepuff. This is also the focus of your next training..."

Harry nodded but said nothing.

His eyes were fixed on the Ravenclaw Seeker.

Especially when she was dodging the Bludger just now, she did that neat and quick upside-down starfish move, which made Harry so excited that his face turned red.

He felt his heart beating fast, and he wanted desperately to talk to Qiu, or exchange some tips on how to find the ball.

"When do we play Ravenclaw?" Harry asked.

"It's still too early," said Wood. "We'll probably have to wait until March. I have to say, Ravenclaw is a strong opponent this year. Their chasers..."

Wood kept on analyzing the players' situation, but Harry didn't hear a word... He didn't even notice that Ron was tugging at his sleeve.

"March... that's too long," Harry muttered.

It suddenly occurred to him that Qiu and Kyle were also very good friends... maybe he could find a reason to get to know them before the game.

Shopping is a good excuse.

Kyle and his friends always come up with some interesting gadgets. He usually buys them from Fred and George, but it's not impossible to buy them from someone else...

On the court, Cedric, who was shaking hands with Qiu, suddenly felt his heart tighten and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Fortunately, there are no Dementors. It must be an illusion...

"What are you looking at?" Qiu asked.

"Nothing..." Cedric shook his head quickly.

Qiu Song opened his hand and said, "You won this time, but I will definitely not lose next time."

"I'll wait." Cedric smiled and said, "Your team this year is really strong."

This is not a compliment.

Although they won the game, they were only a hundred points higher than Ravenclaw.

This means that before catching the Golden Snitch, Ravenclaw was still fifty points ahead of them.

This was the first time that Hufflepuff fell so far behind in basic score.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. After Harris graduated, the two newly recruited chasers obviously couldn't keep up with Kyle's pace, and in most cases they could only rely on Kyle to score alone.

Naturally, he became the target of a major attack. Throughout the entire game, the two Bludgers were almost always circling around him, and he was nearly knocked off his broom several times.

This situation is exactly the same as how Harris was treated.

Afterwards they returned to the locker room, changed out of their team uniforms, and walked towards the castle together.

Cedric, who was walking at the back, looked at Qiu, hesitated for a moment and then said, "Oh, by the way, it should be time to go to Hogsmeade soon. Do you want to go to Madam Puddifoot's Tea House together? We haven't been there yet."

"Yeah, sure." Qiu said, "Let's call Kyle and Kanna and the others..."

"Kyle probably doesn't like tea, he only likes lemonade." Cedric muttered softly.

"What did you just say?" Kyle, who was walking in front, seemed to hear someone calling his name and turned around to ask.

"We're discussing our next trip to Hogsmeade," Cho said. "Do you know the time?"

"Probably around Christmas. I'll go again." Kyle said, and looked at Cedric, who had an unnatural expression on his face.

His intuition told him that this guy had something on his mind.
