Although Kyle moved very quickly, they still couldn't catch up with Fred and his friends before Professor McGonagall.

When they rushed back to the castle, they saw the door of Professor McGonagall's office closed.

After a brief discussion, the few of them decided to wait for them to come out in the corridor.

Because of the Quidditch match, the corridor was quiet and there was no one in it, but there was a ghost.

Nearly Headless Nick poked his head out from the corridor floor and slowly floated up.

"What did those students do?" He looked at Kyle and asked curiously, "I just noticed that Mag's hands were shaking. She rarely loses her temper like that."

"A little conflict between students," Kyle said.

"Really?" said Nick, who was almost headless. He didn't think that a small conflict could make Professor McGonagall so angry, but seeing that Kyle was unwilling to say, he didn't ask any more questions.

Mainly because it wasn't necessary... Ghosts could move freely in the castle, so he could just go and listen on his own.

Then Nearly Headless Nick floated off into the next room.

Kyle and his friends were the only ones left in the corridor.

A minute later, Qiu also ran over.

"How are Fred and George?" she asked anxiously.

"We don't know yet." Cedric pointed to the door of Professor McGonagall's office, "They have just been taken in."

"But if you ask me, Professor McGonagall probably wouldn't let them go easily, with so many people and professors watching them.

"...I guess seven days of confinement is inevitable."

"They were too impulsive." Qiu frowned and said, "Malfoy obviously provoked them on purpose because he lost the game. They were fooled."

"Yeah..." Kyle said, "I guess Professor McGonagall is telling them the same thing now."

At this time, Cedric came to the window at the end of the corridor and looked outside.

"Everyone has returned."

The noisy conversation reached the ears of several people, and the sound became louder and louder.

"Look at the Slytherins." Cedric suddenly pointed out the window. "They look really happy, don't they?"

Kyle walked over.

From this position he could clearly see Malfoy and Montague standing in the grounds in front of the castle.

There was another person in front of them.

...Umbridge

Kyle didn't know what they talked about, but if he guessed correctly, it must be related to Fred and the others.

Because although Malfoy walked with a limp and his face was swollen, there was no anger on his face. On the contrary, he was smiling, as if celebrating the success of his conspiracy.

"They must be planning some conspiracy!" Qiu couldn't help but say, "What a despicable bunch of guys."

"But Fred and George were fooled." Cedric sighed.

…

Five minutes later, Umbridge came over with a cheerful step.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Kyle and his companions left from the other side of the corridor when she first arrived at this floor.

However, they did not go back downstairs to the Hufflepuff common room, but went to the eighth floor and waited in front of the Fat Lady's portrait.

But what Kyle didn't expect was that they had to wait for a whole day.

Neither Fred, George nor Harry came back that day, and they were not seen even at dinner.

When I saw them again, it was already the next day.

That day, Kyle and his friends arrived at the auditorium early in the morning, and finally met the dejected Fred and George here.

"What did Professor McGonagall say?" Cedric sat down in the empty seat next to them and asked tentatively, "Is it detention? How long?"

"One week." Fred's voice was a little dry.

"That's good." Qiu smiled casually, "A week of detention in order to beat up Malfoy is actually a good deal, isn't it?"

"If that was all, we could have been grounded for a year," George said. "But we were suspended."

"Yes, Umbridge said that we and Harry are banned from participating in Quidditch games anymore." Fred looked very unhappy and poked the bread on the plate hard.

"Didn't you go to Professor McGonagall?" Cedric said subconsciously: "Professor McGonagall attaches great importance to the Quidditch game. She will never agree to it."

"It's no use." George said, "Umbridge brought the Ministry of Magic's Educational Order No. 25, which gave her the right to punish any student. Not only Professor McGonagall, but even Headmaster Dumbledore couldn't stop her."

"Then your team..."

"Yes, it's over." Fred tried to act nonchalant. "Without a seeker and a beater, Gryffindor is doomed to finish last in the Quidditch competition this year."

"It's up to you now," George said with a loud laugh. His laughter was so exaggerated that it didn't sound like his voice at all. "We must teach Slytherin a lesson."

At this point, his voice became gritted again.

"That little bastard from the Malfoy family...he insulted our parents and Harry's mother with rude words...but he got nothing punished."

"This is not fair!" Fred said angrily, "We will make her pay the price sooner or later...whether it is Malfoy or that toad Umbridge."

"That's for sure... but don't be impulsive again." Qiu reminded: "Umbridge has great power now. If she finds anything wrong with you again, you will probably be expelled."

"Don't worry, we won't be... fired." George said calmly.

Kyle glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Is there any way you can have the game again?"

"Yes." Cedric stood up directly, "I'll go find Professor McGonagall, she must have a solution."

"Don't go." Fred stopped him.

"It's no use." George shook his head. "Umbridge did say what we had to do to get our ban lifted."

"But there's no way we can do that," Fred said firmly.

"Don't be silly, that's a suspension!" Cedric pressed on, "What should I do, confinement? Or apologize to Malfoy?"

"Neither." Fred hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Umbridge said that Lucius Malfoy was very angry. If we want to play again, we must write a letter to ask for his forgiveness."

"I guess this must be the idea of ​​that little bastard Malfoy." George sneered, "Everyone knows that my family and Malfoy have always been at odds... How could they miss this opportunity?"

"Besides, if we wrote a letter, we would definitely be laughed at."

Fred continued, "Not only us, but also our father will be laughed at by old Malfoy."

"This will be a permanent stain on the Weasley family..."

"Let alone being banned from playing, even if it means being expelled, we will never let that happen."

Fred and George spoke firmly.

Cedric opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

To be honest, if he were a Weasley brother, he would not have written this letter to the Malfoy family.

When it comes to the Weasley family's reputation, whether or not one can play ball doesn't seem to be that important.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table reached its lowest point.

However, at this moment, Kyle suddenly said, "It's okay, leave it to me."

"No, Kyle, we will never bow to the Malfoy family." Fred said, "There is no room for negotiation on this..."

"Listen to me." Kyle waved his hand, "I'm not asking you to apologize, but I'm going to reason with him.

This matter itself is Malfoy's fault, isn't it? If we tell Lucius the whole story, I think he should understand you. "

"Ha, you understand us?" George laughed for the first time. "Don't be ridiculous. How can this be possible?"

"The Malfoy family is so evil. How could they let go of such a good opportunity? Even if you write to them, it will only be a waste of a piece of parchment."

Not only them, but even Cedric nodded slightly.

"Yes, Kyle, let's think of other ways." He said, "Instead of writing to Malfoy, I think it would be more appropriate to find Professor McGonagall.

"Or we can go directly to Headmaster Dumbledore. He will definitely find a way to get Umbridge to revoke this punishment.

"After all, this is Hogwarts, not the Ministry of Magic."

"We have to try to know whether it will work or not." Kyle shrugged and said with a smile: "Remember what I said before, I am actually very good at reasoning with others."
