This also means that the last Quidditch game of the year is about to begin, Hufflepuff versus Slytherin, and the outcome of this game will determine the champion.
As far as anyone can remember, no other match had ever taken place in such a charged atmosphere.
Everyone could feel that the relationship between the two colleges had become tense to the point of being on the verge of breaking out, but fortunately, both sides were still restrained and no conflicts or fights had occurred for the time being.
Mainly because Hufflepuffs are famous for their unity. Wherever they go, they are always in a large group and never alone.
Cedric, in particular, was almost treated as a protected animal. Whether he was in class or eating in the auditorium, he would always be followed by at least five students above the sixth grade.
Flint led his men to ambush several times, but always returned empty-handed.
The treatment of other members of the team is similar. Although not as luxurious as Cedric's, they have the advantage of having more people. A dozen people together, even if they are all young, are still very intimidating.
The only exception is Kyle, who only has one person by his side... Kanna.
But no Slytherin dared to cause trouble for Kyle. Sometimes when they met him in the corridor, they had no intention of making a sneak attack or tripping him up.
Those who came from pure-blood families basically knew from their families the relationship between Dean Snape and the Prince family, so naturally they would not cause trouble.
Besides, Kyle wasn't as easy to deal with as the others.
Three awards for special contributions to the school and an Order of Merlin, Second Class Medal were clearly displayed in the trophy display room. If a real fight were to break out, it was hard to say who would beat whom.
Therefore, in this tense atmosphere, Kyle's life was particularly peaceful, just like usual.
The day before the game.
Kyle and Connor go to herbal medicine class together.
As soon as they walked out of the castle gate, they saw Malfoy jumping out from behind the door holding a big stick.
Two legs were stretched out in front of him, as if trying to trip him... They were Crabbe and Goyle, Malfoy's two lackeys.
"Malfoy, what do you want to do!" Connor said angrily.
After seeing who was coming, Malfoy stopped holding the stick in mid-air, looking confused.
Why are it Kyle and Connor... Didn't Monta say that the person coming was the batsman?
"Damn it, that bastard lied to me!" Malfoy also realized that he was being cheated and felt furious.
Malfoy still remembers his experience on the Hogwarts Express three years ago, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for Kyle.
And that Prince...if she went to complain to Dean Snape, no matter what the reason was or who was right or wrong, he would be dead.
"I, I'm... training..." Malfoy thought for a moment and swung his stick twice in the air, "In addition to being a seeker, I found that I can also be a batsman. You see..."
As he said this, he swung the stick twice... You know what, it really looked like the real thing.
At this time, Crabbe and Goyle also silently retracted their outstretched legs, then turned their faces away, pretending to know nothing.
"Then you should practice well..." Kyle didn't say anything. When the road ahead was clear, he and Kanna left the castle and walked towards the greenhouse.
Malfoy and the other two also ran out of the hall... ready to settle the score with Montague.
However, Kyle did not see this scene. He and Kanna came all the way to the third greenhouse.
After about five minutes, Professor Sprout finally arrived. She opened the door of the greenhouse and let all the students in.
But she called out to Kyle.
"How about it? Are you confident about tomorrow's game?" Professor Sprout asked nervously.
"Of course, Professor." Kyle said with a smile, "This year's Quidditch Cup must belong to Hufflepuff."
"I believe in you," Professor Sprout said. "We must win, okay?"
Kyle was a little surprised. If these words were said by Professor McGonagall, he would not be surprised at all. As a senior fan, the Quidditch Cup was even more important to her than the College Cup.
This is what Fred and George said. They said that Professor McGonagall would only look disappointed when they lost the game. Apart from that, her expression would not change even if Gryffindor was deducted 100 points.
But Professor Sprout... honestly, Kyle had always thought she only cared about her own greenhouse.
But he was right.
Professor Sprout really had no interest in Quidditch before, until Hufflepuff won two consecutive championships, she gradually started to watch the games.

And last year, when Hufflepuff went from two consecutive championships to three consecutive championships, she watched the games even more often.
The main thing is that the feeling is different.
She has been in Hogwarts for more than ten years. In the previous years, Hufflepuff had basically no chance of winning the two major events of Hogwarts, the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup, and could only win once in a while.
But it’s different now. After Hufflepuff won three consecutive championships, Professor McGonagall couldn’t hide the envy in her eyes when she talked to her.
This feeling is so new. I didn’t think much of it before, but after experiencing it, I found that it is indeed different. It seems that I have more confidence when speaking.
And most importantly, she always felt that there were too few species of plants in the greenhouse and that more should be added, but she had only had this idea before and had never had the courage to mention it.
After all, the more precious and rare the plant is, the more expensive it is. Some seeds can even be sold for hundreds of Galleons each. The school greenhouse is used for teaching purposes, so it is naturally impossible to buy only one.
The expense was too high, and she felt a little guilty every time she wanted to talk to Professor McGonagall about it.
But now, she decided to talk to Professor McGonagall about this matter after Hufflepuff won the Quidditch Championship for the fourth consecutive time.
Just like Snape... When Slytherin won the house cup five times before, he applied for a large amount of precious potion materials, and Dumbledore agreed.
Since Snape could do it, there's no reason why she couldn't...not to mention that Hufflepuff also won the House Cup three times in a row.
Today we are going to learn about the fang geranium, a dangerous plant with fangs. Although it is not as deadly as the poisonous tentacles, a bite from it is not pleasant either.
The wound will continue to be red, swollen and numb until it takes a week to heal.
"Everyone wear gloves."
Professor Sprout reminded: "And you must pay attention to your surroundings later. These little creatures are in the teething period and always want to bite something. Be careful not to be caught behind their branches."
As she spoke, she reached out and slapped away a twig near her shoulder.
