In addition to the library, the food here is also an important reason. Mrs. Weasley's cooking skills are much better than the bread and smoked sausages he eats at home.

During this period he also met many people.

For example, Kingsley Shacklebolt, the Auror who works in the Ministry of Magic, Dedalodigo who seems reckless and brainless, and Mundungus Fletcher who is not very popular.

Of course, these people were also interested in Kyle and expressed surprise that he would appear here.

But Kyle didn't explain too much. He only said that he and Harry were friends when everyone was having dinner together.

As for the rest of the time, he stayed in the library in the basement, where usually no one else came, including Hermione.

Because Kreacher was always watching her, it was difficult for her to concentrate on reading, so usually she asked Sirius to bring the book out and read it in her room.

Ron was very confused about their behavior... He didn't understand why they had to read books when it was vacation time.

Harry thought that reading more books would definitely be beneficial at this time, and tried to join the two of them.

But his enthusiasm lasted only one day, and then the book he found was thrown into the corner of the table.

There was no way. Harry would be distracted by the slightest movement outside... He really couldn't concentrate.

He was in even worse mood after the letter from Hogwarts was delivered.

That day the owl brought a new list of books, and a surprise along with it.

Hermione was made a prefect and her badge was placed in an envelope with the reading list.

Harry didn't find this strange. After all, among the fifth-year students, no one was more suitable than Hermione. She would definitely become the class monitor.

But what Harry and everyone else didn't expect was that the male class leader was Ron.

"Ah, a room full of prefects." Fred's exaggerated exclamation almost spread throughout the house. "That's great, isn't it?"

"If you don't count the two of us," said George.

"Don't forget Ginny."

"Hey, I'm only in fourth year," Ginny said unhappily. "Maybe they'll send me a badge next year, too."

"Only a fool would think that," said Fred, but his tone was a little sour.

If she had heard him say that at any other time, Mrs. Weasley would have lectured him, but not today.

Seeing the prefect badge in Ron's hand, she was overjoyed and promised Ron to buy him a new broom.

Although broomsticks are expensive, if they are not particularly good ones and just new ones, they can afford it if they save a little.

"We can buy broomsticks, too," George muttered, "and we can buy them ourselves."

"That's right," said Fred.

After a brief moment of surprise, Hermione also congratulated Ron and then looked to the other side of the table.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten that there was another person in the room who was not a prefect.

"Harry?" she said hesitantly, as she stepped out. "How are you?"

"That's great, Hermione," said Harry, with exaggerated enthusiasm. "Congratulations on becoming a prefect, and of course, Ron."

After saying this, he pretended to pack his things so that Hermione wouldn't see his face.

It was hard for Harry to tell what he was feeling right now.

He didn't want to admit that he was jealous of Ron and jealous of him becoming a prefect, but he did feel a little uncomfortable when he got the news.

Harry felt that he was no worse than Ron, or in some aspects, he might even be slightly better.

For example, in Quidditch, he is a very good flyer and is also the youngest member of the school team.

"But I've never won the Quidditch Cup with a team," Harry thought again.

And the adventures they experienced and the things they did in school were mostly done by the three of them together.

Harry didn't want to get jealous and denigrate Ron just because he had surpassed him in something for the first time.

So he tried to convince himself in his mind that maybe he was not as good as Ron, and Ron deserved to be the prefect.

Also, during this year's holiday, Ron came to the Order of the Phoenix first, and then he... Maybe Dumbledore had already made his choice at that time.

Instead of feeling relieved, Harry felt even more upset and had to put on a smile the whole day.

But Kyle didn't know this because he was still in the library.

"Advanced Black Magic Revealed" contains a complete introduction to Horcruxes and some methods of making them.

To be honest, this magic was not as difficult as Kyle imagined. He was confident that if he wanted to, he could just find a Death Eater and turn the book in front of him into his own Horcrux.

But this was not Kyle's purpose. His original intention to study Horcruxes was an idea that came to him after he saw the Longbottoms.

The Longbottoms might be one of the reasons why he persisted until now, but more importantly, he wanted to change something.

This change was not simply about saving one or several people... After all, he had already done this when the holiday train left Hogwarts.

Because Cedric survived, and soon he would return to Hogwarts for his seventh year.

Kyle wanted to change more, even things that would affect the perception of the wizarding world, such as reducing the number of Unforgivable Curses from three to two.

The reason why the Cruciatus Curse is an unforgivable curse is because it can cause irreversible damage to the soul, but if his idea succeeds and then is simplified a bit, can it be considered the anti-curse of the Cruciatus Curse?

Kyle didn't know, but it was worth a try.

But the problem now is, according to the record of Horcruxes in "Advanced Black Magic Revealed", it is enough for one to use it by oneself, but if one wants to change the method and use it on an unconscious person, it is still far from enough.

The biggest problem is the inability to actively attract souls.

…

It was not until six o'clock in the evening that Kyle came out of the library.

As soon as he arrived in the kitchen, he saw a bright red banner hanging above the dining table.

It said... Congratulations to Ron and Hermione on being elected Prefects.

Oh, yes, they are also in fifth grade this year, Kyle thought to himself.

Mrs. Weasley was smiling as she set the plates. It was the first time Kyle had seen her so happy during the entire holiday. Not even Mundungus's arrival could spoil her good mood.

Many people came back today, including Mr. Weasley, Moody, Kingsley, and Tonks.

And there was Bill, still in his novel outfit, who greeted Kyle enthusiastically.

Kyle didn't ask why he was here... there was no need.

Finally it was Dumbledore, but he arrived late, appearing in the entrance hall halfway through dinner.

"Dumbledore..." Mundungus at the dining table was the first to stand up, and at the same time put the silver knife in his sleeve back on the table.

"It seems I have arrived at the right time." Dumbledore sat down at the table and took a baked potato from it.

"How's that going, Dumbledore?" Moody asked, turning his head.

"It went very well." Dumbledore nodded, then he looked up at the banner on the dining table.

"Oh, I almost forgot that today is the day to announce the prefects." He raised his glass and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Facing Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione both seemed a little reserved.

Harry felt even more complicated. Although he really wanted to know why Dumbledore didn't choose him as the prefect, he didn't have the courage to ask.

It wasn't until the following conversation when he heard from Sirius that his father was not a prefect either, that his mood improved a lot.

And Fred and George finally found like-minded people. They discovered that many of the people sitting there were not prefects, including Tonks, whom they thought was very outstanding.

The meal ended with laughter and joy, an atmosphere that is rare in recent times.

After dinner, Dumbledore stopped Kyle who was about to return to his room.

"Remember what we talked about before?" he asked.

"Of course, Professor," Kyle said. "Is the meeting about to start already?"

He had been in the library recently, and he couldn't remember what day it was.

"Tomorrow," said Dumbledore, "I was thinking of going to St. Catchpole's, but I didn't expect you to be here.

"How about tomorrow at six if you don't have anything else to do? I think we need to go there early."

"Sure, I can go anytime," Kyle said.

"That's great."

While the two were talking, they did not notice that several heads were crowded together on the stairs outside.

"What are they talking about?" Ron asked curiously.

"It looks like we're going to attend a meeting." Fred held up an ear-shaped object and said, "It's tomorrow morning."

Now, everyone became interested.

Although they had meetings almost every day recently, this was the first time Dumbledore had attended.

But just when they wanted to hear more, the kitchen door was suddenly opened. Frightened, they quickly shrank their necks and tried to hide themselves on the stairs.

Dumbledore walked out, paused for a moment, and then walked out as if nothing had happened.

"That's great, he didn't see us," said Ron proudly.

"I don't think so." A voice came.

"Definitely not." Ron said confidently, "We just hid very...quickly..."

Having said that, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

This voice was so familiar, they could hear it at every opening banquet, it was Dumbledore's.

Ron was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

Subconsciously, he looked in the direction where the sound came from, which was the ear-shaped thing in Fred's hand.

At this time, Dumbledore's voice was heard again.

"It's a really good invention, very practical. But I think you should go back to your room and rest now.

"Mo Li has already said that she doesn't want you to make trouble too late. You definitely don't want to see her angry, right?"

"You're right, professor." George reacted and said, "We are just testing the new invention... Let's go back to the room now."

"By the way, Professor, thank you for your approval." Fred added, "This is our new invention, and it only costs two Galleons in Weasley's Joke Shop."

"Of course, if a member of the Order of the Phoenix buys it, he can get a nice discount."

How can we say that Fred and George have seen the world? Instead of being at a loss like Ron, they took the opportunity to advertise themselves.
