At 8:30 in the evening, Kyle sent Malfoy and Crabbe away and came to the eighth floor.
He had just left the stairs when a sneaky head popped out from behind a tapestry on the eighth floor.
"How is it..." Fred asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I'm the only one on the eighth floor." Kyle made a gesture.
Fred then came out relieved and said, "Tell me about the current situation."
"Malfoy and Crabbe are on the sixth floor, Montague is on the fifth floor, and there are people on the third and second floors..." Kyle said, "I suggest you don't take the stairs, or wait a while."
"No, curfew is coming soon. It will be even more troublesome if we get caught then." George thought for a moment and asked, "How about going in the direction of the tower? I remember there is a secret passage leading directly to the first floor."
"Okay." Kyle said, "They can't check that far in a short time... Remember to take the Marauder's Map."
"Don't worry." Fred nodded and retreated behind the tapestry. Kyle thought about it, used an Disillusionment Charm on himself, and retreated to the corner of the stairs.
After a while, a door suddenly appeared on the opposite wall, and a large group of people walked out one after another. They were all students who had just finished a DA party.
Under Fred's command, they tacitly divided into three teams.
Fred led the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students in the direction of the tower, which they would need to pass through to get back to their respective common rooms.
Gryffindor students don't have this problem, their common room is on the eighth floor, just around the corner.
After everyone left, Kyle came to the door and walked straight in.
Several people in the room heard the noise and turned their heads nervously, only breathing a sigh of relief when they saw that the person coming was Kyle.
"Kyle, is what they said true?" Hermione asked immediately, "Does Umbridge really know that we are learning Defense Against the Dark Arts on our own?"
"Yes." Kyle nodded.
"But this shouldn't be the case." Hermione frowned. "We added some magic to the list. The person whose name is written has no way of telling what's going on here. How did she know?"
"Except for the unbreakable oath, other magical contracts are not omnipotent." Kyle said lightly: "For example, the magical constraints between DA members are not that strict. If they are not careful when chatting, they may leak some secrets.
"Or if someone loses the fake gold coin, and the person who picks it up notices the changing numbers on it... they can also guess the general situation."
"It must be Neville..." Ron blurted out, "He's always losing things."
"No, Ron." Hermione shook her head and said, "Neville has never missed any party. If his gold coin is lost, how can he know the time?"
"Maybe... someone else told him." Ron muttered softly. He still felt that Neville was more likely to be the one who told him.
"Oh, right." At this moment, Harry suddenly thought of something and asked, "Kyle, how did you know that someone wanted to catch us in the castle today?"
Hermione and Ron also looked over. Only Cedric and Cho remained calm.
"It's simple." Kyle said calmly, "Because I'm the one responsible for arresting you."
The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Harry's eyes widened, as if he saw hundreds of trolls riding on flying brooms galloping past him, and then holding Ron and doing a tap dance on the broom.
It just so happened that Ron's current expression was in line with this state... confused, shocked, and incredulous. He felt as if his brain was not enough.
Among the three, only Hermione performed better, but she was also shocked and speechless.
"See, I told you I wasn't the only one like this." Cedric suddenly laughed and said, "You actually laughed at me for my poor mental endurance. Now you know, we are all the same."
When he first received the news, Cedric's performance was not much better than the three people in front of him. He even spilled ink and had to rewrite his Potions homework.
"You...are you here to catch us?" Ron screamed and took two steps back, "Harry, Hermione, run..."
I have to say, Ron is quite loyal and he hasn't forgotten his two friends yet. It's just that his brain is not very useful.
Hermione looked at Kyle and Cedric who were half-smiling, then looked at Ron who was still shouting, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, and her face began to turn slightly red.
No, it was too embarrassing. If she had known, she shouldn't have let Ron stay... Oh, and the same went for Harry who was hesitating at the side.
They are more suitable to sit by the warm fireplace and discuss which homework should be written first.
"Ron, can you use your brain?" Hermione couldn't help shouting, "If Kyle wanted to catch us, why would he go through so much trouble? Wouldn't he just bring Umbridge here?"
"Ah?" Ron was slightly stunned, and then his face quickly turned red.
"Yeah." Harry also waved his arms, "Besides, there's no way Kyle could arrest us, Cedric is here too."
Hermione was too lazy to pay attention to them, so she turned around and said excitedly, "So, this is your plan, to fight with the Weasley brothers in order to gain Umbridge's trust?"

"I guess so." Kyle said with a smile.
He checked the time. "Okay, curfew is about to start. I can't stay here for too long. You'd better go back soon... By the way, there are people patrolling every floor right now. Don't get caught."
"Don't worry." Cedric and Qiu looked at each other and said, "We can use the Disillusionment Charm."
"I have my invisibility cloak with me, so I won't be seen," said Harry.
Although it was a bit difficult for him, Ron, and Hermione to hide in the invisibility cloak now that they, Ron, and Hermione had all grown taller, fortunately the Gryffindor common room was nearby and they didn't need to walk too far.
Besides, Kyle is in charge here, so he uses the invisibility cloak just as a precaution.
"Okay then." Kyle nodded, turned around and left the Room of Requirement. Before stepping out of the door, he turned back and said, "Remember to tell me the meeting time in advance next time."
"No problem," Cedric said.
Looking at the door that closed again, Harry blinked. He felt like he had just had a dream and everything seemed a little unreal.
"Umbridge would never have thought that Kyle was with us." Harry rubbed his face after coming to his senses and said, "I really want to see her expression after she knows the truth. It must be very exciting."
After saying this, he started laughing.
Then Ron, Hermione, Cedric and Cho laughed too.
It was like a Quidditch game.
There are many ways to win. Excellent players, persistent training every day, and reasonable tactics are the key.
But there is only one way to win, and that is if the referee is on their side...
Now Kyle is the referee.
As long as Kyle was there, they didn't have to worry about being discovered by Umbridge.
I have to say, this feeling is simply wonderful.
