These were all sent by other people. They were busy with it as if they were moving a library in.
The usually strict Mrs. Pince also relaxed the borrowing standards, contrary to her usual practice, and no longer required the previous book to be returned before borrowing the next one.
This also resulted in Kyle piling up more and more books in the dormitory, and there was not enough space for the table. He had to put them all in a corner and wait for them to be returned after the competition was over.
Although it was a bit troublesome every day, it was all out of good intentions, so Kyle didn't say much.
But this kind of good intention is completely useless.
...There's no way. Regardless of whether these books are useful or not, even if they are useful, it's impossible for Kyle to finish reading more than 30 books in one day.
Not to mention reading...even if he flipped through books, he couldn't read so many.
A week later, Rita Skeeter's article was finally published.
The owls delivered the newspapers on time during breakfast.
The Daily Prophet on Halloween also published news about the Triwizard Tournament, with a photo of the warriors, the judging panel and Fudge on the front page.
A small area was left in the lower right corner of the photo, capturing a corner of the Gryffindor table... Harry was sitting there, clapping his hands excitedly.
I have to say that the photographer brought by Fudge was really something. That photo was praised by many people at the time, and many people cut it out of the newspaper and collected it separately.
Harry did the same thing. According to him... this could be considered as participating in the Triwizard Tournament.
Ron was so envious at the time and regretted that he didn't sit there.
However, the content of the last Daily Prophet was basically about the history and origin of the Triwizard Tournament.
This time the focus is on the Warriors.
The first is the most famous Viktor Krum, who alone occupies more than half of the page. One tenth of the space is devoted to his career and various achievements, and the rest is gossip.
Including but not limited to... frequently changing his female companions, fighting with his teammates backstage, forcing the original captain to leave and successfully taking over...
In short, it is all content that everyone likes to talk about, and the description is very detailed, as if Rita Skeeter was there at the time.
The same goes for Furong... Perhaps because she's not famous, there aren't many articles about her, and compared to Krum's explosive content, her articles can only be described as mediocre.
But it's not very pleasing.
Although it was not stated explicitly, her half-Veela identity was hinted at several times in the article, as well as other Beauxbatons students' comments on her... and of course, Rita Skeeter's exaggerated embellishment was indispensable.
Furong was so angry after reading it that she couldn't even eat breakfast.
"No wonder Ms. Maxime asked me to stay away from her."
Furong stared at one of the passages with gritted teeth...
(She seemed to want to take everyone's hearts away, even some Hufflepuff girls fell into the trap she wove.) "…Am I some evil dark wizard?" she said angrily.
"Oh, do I have anything to do with this?" Connor leaned over to take a look... Obviously, she must be one of those so-called "Hufflepuff girls".
"Strange..." Kanna picked up the newspaper thrown on the table and read it again.
"Kyle, why are there so few articles about you?"
“Maybe she thinks I’m just ordinary and there’s nothing good to write about,” Kyle said.
There was not only little content related to him, it was almost like a gift for a buy-two-get-one-free deal. There was only one mention of him in an inconspicuous place in the middle of the newspaper, and there were less than three lines in total.
Others also noticed this and spoke up for Kyle.
Besides, this is Hogwarts, so he doesn't need to rely on the Daily Prophet to promote himself and expand his fame.
"Bang!"
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise from the Slytherin table.
Krum seemed to know what was in the newspaper. He had always been expressionless, as if he had no interest in anything, but now his expression changed for the first time.
His face flushed with anger and he overturned the plate, pouring all the soup in the plate onto Crabbe's head opposite him, without wasting any of it.
Krum did not apologize, or perhaps he was so angry that he did not notice this at all. He said something in Bulgarian and quickly left the auditorium.
Although no one present knew what he meant by that sentence, Kyle guessed...it was most likely about the family tree of Zanmelita Skeeter.
This issue of the Daily Prophet has once again aroused everyone's expectations for the Triwizard Tournament, and they can't wait to jump directly to the 30th.
Of course, except for the three warriors... Kyle didn't know what Krum was thinking, but he could see that Fleur had become more and more nervous since the countdown to the final week before the first project.
At Maxime's request, she had temporarily moved out of the Hufflepuff dormitory and returned to Beauxbatons' carriage, and she no longer came to the castle to attend classes with the seventh-year students.

Whenever we met, she was always absent-minded.
And so it went until Friday…only two days left until the start of the first project.
Since the morning, the castle has been filled with a palpable sense of anticipation and excitement.
"How's it going, are you nervous?" While eating breakfast, Cedric kept dragging plates of fried eggs and bacon towards Kyle.
The others not only did not stop his rude behavior, but even stood up and helped to bring the plates that were farther away...
Soon, the plates in front of Kyle were piled up like a small mountain. "I'm not nervous, but can you guys be a little more normal?" Kyle said, "The first task is not to see who can eat the most bacon..."
But no one listened to him.
Kyle could only speed up his eating, wanting to leave this overly enthusiastic place as soon as possible.
Just then, the messenger arrived.
A flock of owls rushed into the hall, dropping letters and packages to every student.
Among them, six sturdy long-eared owls were the most conspicuous. They grabbed a long package together and threw it on the Hufflepuff table.
"Kyle, this is for you!" someone saw the name written on it and shouted.
"For me?" Kyle finished the last bit of the sandwich in his hand, then stood up and looked over.
"What did you buy?" Cedric asked.
"I don't know," Kyle said. "I haven't bought anything recently... but it looks like a broom."
The package was long and thick at one end and thin at the other, which was the usual packaging method used by Quidditch boutiques.
As he spoke, Kyle also noticed a card hanging outside the package.
"Congratulations on becoming a warrior. This is such a great surprise. I want to prepare a gift for you, but I don't know what to give you. After thinking about it, this is the most suitable one. I hope you like it.
...Sirius Black."
