At eight o'clock in the morning, Kyle, wearing a thick robe, yawned and came to the auditorium, ready to have breakfast.

As the owls swarmed into the Great Hall as usual, the broom that Cedric had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, and just as he expected, it was a Nimbus 1700.

"Great, Cedric, great." A senior Hufflepuff player patted Cedric's shoulder excitedly and said, "You are the seeker. With this Nimbus 1700, the gap between us and Slytherin will be much smaller.

I've seen the strength of their Seeker, and to be honest, he's not much better than a troll riding a broomstick."

By the way, Hufflepuff's first Quidditch game was against Slytherin.

They were originally a little worried about the huge gap in equipment, but suddenly they received such good news.

A Nimbus 1700 was not enough to boost their morale, but with Cedric as the Seeker, it was different.

During the training match, Cedric caught the Snitch in just five minutes, which put him just seconds away from breaking the record for the fastest Seeker at Hogwarts.

With a top-notch broom and a talented seeker, the Hufflepuff players didn't know how they were going to lose.

Could it be possible that Slytherin could still lead them by 150 points in five minutes?

Stop joking.

Kyle was also very happy. Although he did not participate, it would be great if the college could win a Quidditch cup.

He turned to look at Cedric's brand new Nimbus, until he felt a tingling sensation in his fingers and realized that there was also an owl perched in front of him.

"Sorry little one, I didn't notice."

Kyle quickly took out a piece of Motla rat jerky and fed it to the other party, then took the letter from its paw and began to read it.

Dear Kyle,

I'm sorry that it took me so long to reply to you. I've been so busy lately that I thought I had replied until this morning when I found the unfinished letter in the office. I hope you can forgive me.

We have also received the Galleons you sent. I am proud of you, kid. I was not as good as you when I was in the first grade.

Also, your mother asked me to tell you that she has accepted your Galleons, but don't even think about the broom.

But she has prepared some other things for you, which will be delivered to you in two days. I hope you like them.

That's it, have a great time at Hogwarts.

—Your father, Chris.”

After reading the letter, the light in Kyle's eyes disappeared visibly.

Although he had guessed that Diana was not as easy to fool as Mr. Diggory, Kyle was still disappointed after seeing the result.

And it was still the result of being so late.

He sent the letter in early September, but it's already November and he hasn't replied yet. What on earth is Chris busy with that he hasn't returned to the office for two months?

Uncle Newt went out to travel? Just when Kyle was wondering, Cedric suddenly slapped a copy of the Daily Prophet in front of him.

"Look Kyle, something terrible has happened. No wonder it took my dad so long to mail the broom to me."

On the front page of the Daily Prophet, there is a photo of many magical animals, but they are all caged.

Next to the photo was a bold caption.

The Plague of Magical Beasts "According to relevant sources, on September 3rd of this year, the Ministry of Magic's strike force accidentally failed to capture a group of magical animal smugglers, resulting in a large number of smuggled magical animals escaping. Among them were even three magical animals that were defined as XXXXX-level, highly dangerous.

"This is to avoid causing panic in the wizarding community," said Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge this morning. "We have been able to capture most of the magical creatures without losing any wizards or witches in the process."

We do not yet know the authenticity of this result.

However, Chris Chopper, a spokesman for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic, said in an interview that with the help of Mr. Newt Scamander, almost all the escaped magical creatures, including the Australian Protein Eye and the Nundu Leopard, have been successfully captured.

But there is still one curled-winged demon whose whereabouts are unknown.

He appealed to everyone that the Winged Demon was highly dangerous, and if they saw it, they must run away immediately and send a red warning spell into the sky. The Beast Office and the Aurors would rush to help as quickly as possible.

After reading it, Kyle finally understood what Chris was up to.

Judging from the photos, there were about fifty or sixty magical creatures captured. This is already the largest magical creature smuggling case in the British wizarding world in the past thirty years.

But this is not the point. The point is the venomous leopard.

Kyle was very curious about how they did it, and how they could even get the Nangdu leopard.

Not only was that thing extremely agile, even the gas it exhaled was poisonous and could easily destroy a village.

Well, the Ministry of Magic clearly stated in its description of it that under normal circumstances, it would take more than a hundred skilled wizards working together to subdue a Nundul.

Although there is a certain degree of exaggeration, this is enough to illustrate its danger. You know, it only takes ten wizards to subdue a fire dragon.

"Luckily it was the Winged Demon that got away." Kyle sighed sincerely.

It’s not that he looks down on the Curled-Winged Demon.

Although the Winged Demon is also defined as 5X, that is only because its dangerousness level meets the standard.

The reason why the Nundul is defined as 5X is because the Ministry of Magic only has a rating of 5X.

There is simply no level between the two.

The other senior students, or those who had some knowledge about magical creatures, such as Cedric, all nodded in agreement after hearing Kyle's words.

As for the other little wizards, they didn’t know much about magical creatures and were more concerned about the escaped curled-winged demon.

The words "highly dangerous" in the newspaper don't seem to be alarmist.

"Fortunately, we are in Hogwarts." Someone said thankfully, "With Dumbledore here, we will definitely not be harmed."

His statement was quickly recognized by everyone.

Yes, with Dumbledore here, what do they have to worry about?

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became much more lively.

But this situation did not last long, and soon it became quiet again.

Then, a little wizard suddenly stood up, without even bothering to eat breakfast, and ran straight to the owl shed.

Following his reminder, the others also reacted and stood up. Some ran to the owl shed, while others rushed directly back to the dormitory.

The auditorium, which was originally crowded, soon had few people left.
