This party at the Hog's Head Bar lasted longer than Kyle expected.

About two hours later, people began to come out.

At the front were Fred, George and their friend Lee Jordan. The three of them seemed to be in a hurry, so after leaving the Hog's Head Bar, they hurried towards Zonko's Joke Shop.

Then came Colin and Angelita from Gryffindor, Ryan, Mikel, Justin from Hufflepuff, and three Ravenclaw boys whose names Kyle couldn't remember...

The people around were stunned. They probably never dreamed that there would be so many customers in the most unpopular Pig's Head Bar.

Only after everyone had left did Cedric and his friends, who were left at the end, walk out of the Hog's Head Inn together.

Through the window of the Three Broomsticks, Kyle could clearly see Cedric standing on the main road, looking around angrily, as if he was looking for someone.

"He's not looking for you, is he?" Kanna asked in a low voice, "Did you tell him before that you wouldn't go to the Hog's Head Pub today?"

"Um... I forgot." Kyle said.

In fact, it was when he met the Greengrass sisters in the Fengya wizard clothing store that he realized that he should support Fudge now and should not get too involved in things that go against the Ministry of Magic.

"Are you going to wait for him here?" Connor asked.

Kyle thought about it and shook his head, "Forget it. He must be very angry right now. Let's talk about it when we get back to the castle."

Then he immediately stood up, and while Cedric wasn't paying attention, he and Connor walked through the round tables to the other side of the bar, pushed open the door and let out three brooms.

The two went to the clothing store again, picked up the finished thick robes, and left Hogsmeade.

It was not until the evening that Cedric returned to the castle. His hair was messy and he looked a little more anxious than usual.

Kyle also found the opportunity to explain to him why he did not go to the Hog's Head Bar today.

Although Cedric believed Kyle's words, he still looked a little unhappy.

"Do you know how many people went there that day?" he said unhappily in the common room. "Fifty-three. The original guests thought this was Dumbledore's way of dealing with the Hog's Head, so they all ran away!"

"Isn't that great?" Kyle said. "You don't have to worry about anyone eavesdropping."

"But the problem is that I can't teach so many people."

Cedric said, "Fifty-three people, that's about the same number of people as a normal class, but I'm not a real professor, what if I screw up?"

At this point, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little, looking at Kyle with some complaints, "I wanted you to help share some of the burden, but you didn't come that day."

"You can find someone else," Kyle said.

"That's the only way." Cedric thought for a moment, "What do you think of Hermione? I remember she has always been the top student in the grade, and she is also the prefect."

"If you want to improve your test scores, Hermione is indeed a good candidate." Kyle said, "But the purpose of your self-study of Defense Against the Dark Arts is to improve your self-protection ability, so Hermione is a bit inappropriate.

“To be honest, her Defense Against the Dark Arts test scores were high, but her use of spells was not particularly outstanding.

"I think you could consider Harry Potter."

"Potter?" Cedric was a little surprised.

He and Harry were not particularly familiar with each other. Apart from knowing that the other was very talented in Quidditch, he didn't know much else.

"That's right." Kyle continued, "Sirius and Moody both said that he is very talented in Defense Against the Dark Arts. He is very skilled in both the Disarming Charm and the Shield Charm."

"If that's the case, then it's possible." Cedric pondered for a moment.

The Armor Charm and Disarming Charm have a wide range of applications and are most effective when facing enemies.

"Then I'll go find him tomorrow." Cedric was still a little anxious. "Fifty-three people, I hope I won't mess it up..."

…

For the rest of the weekend, there was an air of anticipation in the castle, just as it had been when Sirius had first arrived at Hogwarts, and everyone was eager to see his class.

The next morning, Cedric left the Hufflepuff common room early and went to the Great Hall to wait for Harry.

Kyle wanted to go and take a look, but before he reached the auditorium, a man suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

Kyle had an impression of this man, Dennis Creevey from Gryffindor, a member of the Harry Potter Fan Club.

"Kyle..." He seemed to have run all the way here, and said breathlessly: "Umbridge asked you to go to her office."

"when?"

"Now."

"Okay, I get it." Kyle nodded.

After Dennis Creevey left, Kyle looked at the auditorium just a stone's throw away, sighed and said, "If I had known I would have come earlier, maybe I could have had breakfast."

"Why did Umbridge come to you at this time?" Connor was a little worried. "Do you need me to tell Professor Sprout?"

"No need," Kyle said, "I guess she probably knows what happened in Hogsmeade yesterday."

"Umbridge knew about it so quickly?" Connor immediately thought of something, "Someone must have informed on her!

"I heard from Letty last night that Zacharias Smith has been questioning Harry's news about the resurrection of the mysterious man, and said that Cedric was too stupid to be deceived by him."

"Zacharys?" Kyle knew this person. Like him, he was a sixth-year Hufflepuff student. In his second year, he also competed for the position of Chaser.

However, Kyle's performance was so perfect at that time that no one else had any chance, so all the candidates competing for the Chaser were eliminated during the selection stage.

To be honest, this person's personality is really not good. He is arrogant and conceited, and always likes to attract the attention of people around him by refuting others.

Many people believe that Zacharias should not be sorted into Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw and Slytherin would be more suitable for him.

So Kyle didn't find it strange that he would raise doubts. In fact, before this, he had expressed many times that he wanted Harry and Dumbledore to produce evidence of Voldemort's resurrection.

"And Terri Bute of Ravenclaw."

Connor mentioned another name, "Letty said he was laughing the whole time, like he was treating the party like a funny play.

"The informant is most likely one of them."

"This is not surprising. After all, none of us can guarantee that we won't make mistakes or attract people with ulterior motives."

Kyle said, "Also, more than 50 people going to a bar where no students would normally go at the same time would inevitably attract other people's attention."

"I hope she won't make things difficult for you." Kanna was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Kyle said, "Don't go looking for other professors. If they come, it will be a lot more troublesome."

Then he asked Kanna to go to the auditorium first, and he turned and walked towards the stairs.
