In the school hospital, Cedric and Kyle stared at each other, and the scene was a little awkward for a moment.

To be more precise, Cedric was embarrassed. If he hadn't been lying on the hospital bed, he would probably have dug out a second Hogwarts castle on the ground.

"That's good." Cedric turned his head to the other side and said calmly.

Kyle coughed dryly and said earnestly, "Cedric, why do you want to duel with them? Don't forget that we are Hufflepuffs, well-known honest kids and model students in Hogwarts. This idea is very dangerous.

Think about Professor Sprout. She would be disappointed if she knew you had become so impulsive and unruly."

"I'm not, I haven't thought about it that way." Cedric said angrily.

The main reason was that when he was sent here, he kept hearing people talking about going to find the Slytherins for a one-on-one real man battle, and there were quite a few of them.

But at that time his legs and head were hurting so much, and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He wanted to persuade them not to be impulsive, but he couldn't say anything.

He just thought about this again, and subconsciously thought that Kyle thought the same way.

"You don't have to explain so quickly. I understand."

Kyle didn't even look at Cedric, and said to himself: "After all, he was injured so badly, it's normal to say something angry. Just remember to be more careful in the future. Come, have a chocolate frog."

Just now, before leaving the school hospital, the little badgers left behind some gifts. There weren't many of them, but they were all common snacks, which they should have been planning to eat while watching the game.

Kyle picked out a chocolate frog, unwrapped it and handed it over.

"I've already told you, I haven't thought about it that way. Wait a minute."

Just as Cedric was about to explain, he suddenly noticed the Chocolate Frog card in Kyle's hand.

"What is that in your hand..."

Kyle put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "It's just an ordinary card. Nicolas Flamel, I just happen to not have him."

"No." Cedric sat up. "I saw it. It wasn't Nicolas Flamel. It was Agrippa."

Although it was just a casual glance, Cedric still saw that the card in Kyle's hand was gold.

This is a special alchemical process, which was specially added by a master alchemist at the Chocolate Frog Company in order to prevent people from counterfeiting the cards.

With this layer of protection, those copying spells or flying spells are useless, and the effect is much better than that engraved on gold galleons.

There is only one card in the entire set of Chocolate Frog cards that uses this technique, and that is the rarest Cornelius Agrippa.

Thinking of this, Cedric immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Give it back to me, that's the chocolate frog you gave me, and the card inside is naturally mine too!"

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Kyle simply stopped pretending and said confidently: "But I took it apart. If it were you, it would probably be a Dumbledore at most."

"It doesn't matter who takes it apart. It's right there. Whoever takes it apart is Agriba!" Cedric said angrily, "Give it back to me now. I only need this one to complete the set!"

“No.” Kyle clutched his pocket tightly. “This is the only one I need!”

Just like on the train, the two glared at each other and the air was filled with tension.

But this time Kyle clearly had the upper hand. He looked at Cedric provocatively, then walked to the door of the school hospital, opened it and walked out.

Then came in again...

Go out and come in again.

Cedric was stunned, he didn't expect Kyle to be so unsportsmanlike as to deceive and mock him, a patient with a broken leg.

"Okay, no more jokes."

Seeing that Cedric was having trouble breathing, Kyle walked back to the bed and took out the note of Agrippa from his pocket.

"I really can't give this to you. I need it." Kyle said seriously, "I have to say, Slytherin is really lucky. I was originally a little worried about what to do, and this card came at the right time."

Cedric calmly put down the shoes in his hand and asked in confusion: "Is your plan related to this card?"

Kyle nodded.

"This is Agrippa." Cedric's face was full of pain, and he whispered: "If I can get an Agrippa, I can fall a few more times."

"It's just a card, look at your useless look." Kyle looked at him with contempt, "This is just a small way to vent your anger, but it's related to whether Hufflepuff can win the Quidditch Cup.

Is an Agribar more important than the Quidditch Cup?"

"That's not the case..." Cedric said in a low voice.

"That's it."

"That's what you said." Cedric looked at Kyle thoughtfully.

He always felt something was wrong. Kyle's expression was too serious, which was abnormal in itself.

Cedric seriously suspected that Kyle was fooling him, or that in Kyle's original plan, he didn't need that Agrippa at all.

But he had no evidence.

"Why don't you give me Agrippa?" Cedric thought for a moment and said, "Even if it's just for one night, I'll have him.

I'll give it to you after I'm discharged from the hospital tomorrow, or we can proceed with that plan together."

"No need, just leave this dirty work to me." Kyle patted his chest and said righteously: "Your task now is to recover from your injuries."

“…”

——It was confirmed that Kyle was fooling him.

Cedric narrowed his eyes and reached out to pick up the shoes on the ground.

When he looked up again, Kyle had already run out of the school hospital. At the same time, Madam Pomfrey came over with a tray.

"What are you doing with the shoes?" Madam Pomfrey frowned and said, "It takes time for the bones to grow. You have to stay here for a night."

"Sorry ma'am, I understand." Cedric forced a smile and put the shoe back in his hand.

"Really? Why are all the young wizards nowadays so troublesome?" Madam Pomfrey bandaged his right leg, then took out a Chocolate Frog card and placed it on the bed.

"I found this next to your bed. Remember not to throw things around."

Cedric's heart suddenly beat twice and he looked over with surprise.

On the card, an old man with a white beard was looking at him kindly.

Cedric's originally passionate heart instantly turned cold after seeing the old man.

"Nicolas Flamel is recognized as the most famous alchemist of our time. His well-known contributions include..."

“Kyle!!”

Cedric gnashed his teeth and stared at the entrance of the school hospital, wishing he could rush out and beat someone up. But when he saw Madam Pomfrey not far away, this idea quickly died out.

Unwilling to give up, he opened the remaining two chocolate frogs, trying to find another Agrippa.

A minute later... Cedric sighed softly and stuffed the two Dumbledore cards in his hand under his pillow.
