If anyone was unhappy, it was probably Filch.
Once Fred and George had enough money, the corridors would often be filled with the smell of dung.
Filch was almost mad with rage. He wanted to follow the twins all day just to catch them in the act.
But Fred and George always found a way to get away from him.
Because of this incident, Qiu and Kanna became more familiar with Kyle, especially Kanna. She no longer avoids Kyle when sitting in class.
Maybe she has gotten used to it, her social phobia is not as serious as before. At least after getting extra points from the professor, she can reply with a "thank you" calmly like everyone else.
The first-year curriculum at Hogwarts is quite easy, with only three classes a day under normal circumstances.
But if you include homework, that’s a different story.
The young wizards had to spend all their spare time in the library just to finish their homework which was several feet long.
And the font cannot be too large, because the last person who did this was not only deducted five points by Professor McGonagall, but the workload was also doubled, causing him to have dark circles under his eyes for a long time.
In the end, it was Professor McGonagall who cancelled the punishment because she was afraid that he would stay in the classroom one day.
But since then no one dared to use such a clever trick again.
But there are exceptions to everything.
What seemed like a nightmare to others was a piece of cake for Kyle.
It's just a thesis, he has experience in this matter, and there is no such thing as plagiarism check for freshmen, so he can write however he wants.
Borrow some ideas from a few related books, add some optional sentences of your own, and then make a summary.
In less than twenty minutes, a perfect assignment was produced, and the professor even praised him for his extensive reading.
The exception is a certain Potions professor who does not wish to reveal his name.
For some reason, Kyle always felt that Snape disliked him more and more, and would find reasons to deduct two points from him from time to time.
But Kyle had no choice but to avoid Snape as much as possible, and buy a bottle of Potter's Quick-Smoothing Shampoo every time he was deducted points, preparing to give it to him anonymously after accumulating a box.
On Halloween, Kyle sat in the library reading as usual. It was not until the dinner was about to start that he came to Madam Pince holding the unfinished book "The Great Duelist".
"How many days will you borrow it this time?" Madam Pince asked without looking up.
"one day."
"Um."
Since Kyle came to borrow books every few days, Madam Pince still had some impression of him. She simply made a note of his name and time and that was it.
As today is Halloween, the auditorium was hung with colorful decorations earlier.
Pumpkins carved into various shapes floated above the auditorium, instantly filling the air with the Halloween atmosphere.
A thousand bats fluttered along the walls and ceiling, and there was even a huge cloud of bats hovering over the dining table.
As it was not yet time for the dinner, the entire hall was noisy, with almost half of the people gathered around the Gryffindor table.
Fred and George each wore a pumpkin head and imitated the signature moves of the Headless Hunter Club, making everyone laugh.
The professors on the stage did not stop him, as they were watching with equal fascination. Dumbledore even cheerfully took out some candy and wanted to exchange it with other professors.
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
Even Professor Sprout, who had the best temper, declined the pile of cockroaches he offered.
"You went to the library again?"
"Charms homework."
Kyle handed the book to Cedric and said, "I have to get back the points I lost in Potions class. The practical application of basic spells is what Professor Flitwick likes to see the most."
Cedric also knew that Kyle had been madly targeted by Snape recently, so he looked at him sympathetically and said, "Did you gain anything?"
"Don't mention it."
Kyle sighed. "Obviously, no wizard would use the Unlocking Charm during a duel."
Cedric pursed his lips tightly to avoid laughing out loud. He had thought that Kyle had used a levitation spell in the last class, but it turned out to be an unlocking spell.
Not to mention duelling masters, even first-year students wouldn't use the unlocking spell when fighting.
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips even tighter.
Kyle looked at Cedric suspiciously, and his intuition told him that he must be thinking something impolite. But before he could say anything, an owl landed nearby.
It stretched out its paw and placed a note on the plate in front of Kyle.
"For me?"
Kyle opened the note curiously. The handwriting on it was very sloppy and messy, but fortunately it was still recognizable.
Dear Kyle Chopper.
I have collected some moon beast fertilizer. If you have time, could you come over on Friday (I remember you don’t have classes that afternoon).
Hagrid.
After reading the contents of the note, Kyle was obviously stunned. He never expected that Hagrid would take the initiative to invite him to the cabin.
Seeing Kyle staring blankly at the note, Cedric, who had already finished laughing secretly, asked curiously, "Who gave you the letter?"
"Hagrid," said Kyle.
Cedric thought for a moment and asked, "Is that the key keeper at the edge of the forbidden forest?"
"Yeah, that's right," Kyle replied.
"Why did he look for you? Did you know each other before?"
"The letter said that I had collected some fertilizer from the Moon Crazy Beasts." Kyle explained, "I had planted two ornamental plants before and went to see him once."
"Then can you take me with you when you go?" Cedric said, "I'm quite curious about that place."
"If you want to go, go. What's the big deal?"
Kyle took out the quill he always carried with him and wrote on the back of the note: "Okay, I'll go there with my friend tomorrow afternoon."
He fed the owl some more nuts and let it fly back.
After that, the dinner just started.
Because it is Halloween, the food is much richer than usual. In addition to a whole fragrant roasted beef leg, there are also pumpkin pie and caramel apples.
Various kinds of candies were also indispensable. Kyle took a quick look and was glad that there were no cockroaches in there. It seemed that the principal's unique hobby did not affect the kitchen.
