But the good news was that, so far, Fred and George, the ones he was most worried about, had not made any movement... Of course, this also meant that he had to continue to be wary of them.

And Cedric also discovered another problem. Because Quidditch training needs to avoid bad weather as much as possible, it is difficult to determine the time for their gathering on a certain day.

However, they soon found a way to deal with this matter.

Hermione was inspired by the reward Kyle left in the Room of Requirement and made a batch of fake gold coins with Transfiguration Charms.

As long as the number on the main gold coin changes, the other gold coins will change accordingly, so that they can tell others the specific time of the next party in time.

It’s quite convenient.

Fred and George found that this method was also useful for cheating, but their idea was soon discovered by Cedric, and then nothing happened...

Cedric would never allow them to do this, but Fred and George just had this idea.

After all, the things used for cheating are fundamentally different from their previous prank products. Once discovered, it would probably be more than just a matter of deducting points and putting them in solitary confinement.

They didn't want to be expelled from school directly, that would be too embarrassing, and it might also affect the Weasley Joke Shop in the future.

A shop opened by an outstanding graduate always sounds much better than one opened by an expelled dropout.

"This is for you." Cedric handed Kyle a fake gold coin during breakfast.

"Even though you haven't been there lately, I thought it would be a good idea to give you one."

Kyle took it and felt it in his hand. "Is this the leprechaun's gold coin?"

"To be precise, it should be a copy of the leprechaun's gold coin." Cedric said, "The leprechaun's gold coin can only last for half a day. This can extend its existence to about a year."

"That's a good idea," Kyle said.

"We can't help it. We are very familiar with the Copying Spell and naturally know its functions." Cedric said with a smile, as if he remembered the scene a few years ago when they were desperately copying a map in an empty classroom.

Kyle also smiled and put away the fake gold coins. "Do you guys want to have another party?"

"Probably not this week." Cedric shook his head and said, "Gryffindor has its first Quidditch match on Saturday. They won't be free in the evenings this week."

“Yeah, I guess so,” Kyle said.

The Quidditch match was about to begin, and this was the first match in a year, so everyone took it very seriously, including the professor.

Recently, there are brooms flying over the Quidditch field almost every day...either Gryffindor or Slytherin.

The last time Cedric went to apply for the right to use the stadium, Madam Hooch said that the right to use the stadium for the next week had already been pre-rented by Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape.

Although this was against the rules, she had no way of refusing since the two professors came to her personally.

Everyone in the team expressed their understanding of this.

If Hufflepuff were to play in Saturday's match, it would probably be Professor Sprout who would go to Madam Hooch.

But it’s okay this way, just treat it as a holiday.

…

As the game draws closer, the tension between Gryffindor and Slytherin becomes increasingly tense and explosive.

No matter who they are or what grade they are in, as long as they meet in the corridor, they can't help but make fun of each other.

Warrington also threatened to knock Harry off his broom in the Great Hall, but Kyle had reservations about this.

Putting aside whether Warrington has the ability to do so, their brooms are not on the same level.

Nimbus 2001 wants to catch up with Firebolt? Unless there is a fire dragon behind it pushing it.

But this seemed to be Slytherin's tactic. They always enjoyed attacking every Gryffindor player. In addition to Harry, Ron was also their main focus.

Millicent, Pansy, and Malfoy also rehearsed a small stage play, acting out the scene after Ron dropped the ball.

And just like that, November finally arrived.

The weather was getting colder and colder. The wind outside the castle was like a knife, hurting people's cheeks, but it was very hot inside the castle.

Because today is the day the Quidditch match begins.

Early in the morning, Kyle, Connor, and Cedric left the common room and headed towards the auditorium.

They all changed into gold and red scarves with a lion pattern on them, which also showed that they supported Gryffindor.

The auditorium today was much more lively than usual, with a lot of people talking.

In addition to the upcoming competition, there is another reason...

That is at the front of the auditorium, where the teachers' seats are located, there is a row of brand new, shiny new brooms.

There were thirty brooms in total, each one was brand new, and the smooth and flat broom handles still smelled of pine oil.

"Oh my god, this is a sweep of eleven stars!"

A large group of people gathered in front of the teacher's seat, looking at the brooms with longing looks on their faces.

"I saw it in the Quidditch boutique in Diagon Alley. It's a new broom that was released this year."

“So beautiful…”

"Are these so many brooms going to be distributed to all Quidditch players?"

"Ahem. Ahem."

Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically...a light cough was suddenly heard from the crowd.

No one knew when Umbridge appeared in the hall. After seeing her, everyone immediately scattered and sat back at their tables as quickly as possible, but their eyes were still glued to the row of brooms.

Umbridge coughed again, attracting everyone's attention.

She walked to the front and said with a smile: "Yes, there is no doubt that these brooms are all yours."

As if someone told them that Christmas had come early, cheers and screams suddenly rang out in the auditorium.

Umbridge had to press her wand to her throat to raise her voice above the cheers.

"As Senior Inquisitor at the Ministry of Magic, I have noticed that schools are using brooms that are thirty years old.

"The Ministry of Magic believes that the biggest reason why more and more students at Hogwarts are injured in Quidditch matches every year is that the brooms are seriously aging.

"So the Ministry of Magic decided to replace Hogwarts with a batch of new, better brooms for use in Quidditch matches and flying classes."

"oh!"

The hall was filled with cheers again, mixed with praise for the Ministry of Magic.

Umbridge was very satisfied with the students' performance. She turned to look at Professor McGonagall and others sitting nearby with undisguised pride on her face.

But Professor McGonagall was equally happy. Not only did she not care about Umbridge's provocation at all, she even nodded at her in a friendly manner.

Umbridge felt a little uncomfortable not seeing any regret or anger on the other person's face.

"Did you do this?" Kanna looked at Kyle subconsciously.

She didn't think the Ministry would spend such a large sum of money on new brooms for no reason, and Umbridge wasn't likely to care if any of the students got hurt.

"Well... I can't afford such a large sum of money." Kyle blinked and lowered his voice and said, "I just made a small suggestion."
