After the dinner, everyone returned to their respective common rooms.

On the way, Cedric was still thinking about what happened just now.

"Tell me, why is Professor Snape so angry?" He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Could it be that someone stole things from his storage room during the Christmas holidays?"

It was no secret at Hogwarts that Snape had a private storage room, and many students knew about it.

And there are rumors that his storeroom is filled with extremely rare potion materials, and even the carpet is made of dragon skin. If you just close your eyes and grab anything, you can exchange it for a lot of gold Galleons in Diagon Alley.

Judging from Snape's expression just now, if the reason for his anger was really related to that storage room, then a lot of things must have been lost.

"Don't think too much about it, maybe he just received a Christmas present he didn't like." Kyle took out his wand and knocked on the barrel in front of the common room door.

"He's so petty that he's not even satisfied with the gifts given to him by others."

Cedric glanced at Kyle, his eyebrows raised slightly.

The passage opened and the two entered the common room together.

They only came back a little late, and the lounge was already full of people, who were hunched over the wooden tables, frantically catching up on their holiday homework.

There were many people lying not only on the table but also on the ground, and their number was constantly increasing.

In such a large lounge, there was not even a place to step.

Kyle was somewhat shocked.

Is this considered a Hufflepuff group activity? Wouldn't it be a bit out of place if I didn't participate...

But he had already finished his homework, so he couldn't write it again.

"Don't be surprised, that was what happened last year."

Cedric patted Kyle's arm from behind and said, "Our prefect once said that vacation time is precious and it would be a waste to use it to do homework."

The prefect that Cedric mentioned was Harris, the captain of the Quidditch team. He was also a member of the army of people doing homework. At this moment, he was lying in the corner with his butt sticking up, writing furiously.

He had a table available to him, but just now he gave it to a few freshmen.

He deserves to be the class monitor.

Even the lounge has become like this, the library must have been full a long time ago.

Kyle avoided all the parchment and ink on the floor and carefully came to the dormitory door.

Just as he was about to push the door open, Cedric suddenly called him.

"Kyle..." Cedric stood at the door of the second-year dormitory, looked at him from a distance and said, "I like the Christmas present you gave me very much."

"Your gift was great too!" Kyle replied.

Then the two looked at each other and gave each other a standard fake smile.

…

The first class after school started was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

Less than five minutes into the class, Hufflepuff had already been deducted twenty points.

It was obvious that their "one pen, one lamp, one night, one miracle" operation last night did not succeed.

Even Kyle was deducted two points.

The reason was that he lent the homework to Mikel and Ryan, but the two of them copied the homework verbatim, even leaving out their names.

"Next time if you lend them your homework again... I will deduct 20 points from you!"

Professor McGonagall glared at Kyle and returned to the podium.

What we are going to learn today is how to turn a mouse into a snuff box, which is also the most important topic of this year. I can tell you in advance that it will definitely be tested in the final exam.

If you don’t pass the exam, don’t blame me for not telling you…”

When they heard that it was related to the final exam, the students quickly became serious. Everyone looked at Professor McGonagall carefully and took detailed notes.

The final grades at Hogwarts were still very important. Take Fred and George for example. They didn't need many. As long as they could get two "O"s on their transcripts, they could spend the entire summer vacation comfortably.

This is especially true for young wizards who come from Muggle families, whose parents do not understand magic and only care about academic performance.

If the final grades are too bad, they won’t be able to explain it.

After class, those who had not completed their homework were all kept back by Professor McGonagall, while the others quickly left the classroom.

They still have homework for other subjects to finish, so time is very tight.

There was only one class in the morning, and Kyle had wanted to go to the library to read before lunch, but when he arrived, the library was already packed.

The same situation happened in the lounge.

With no other options, Kyle could only go to the auditorium and watch for a while, as if he was waiting for dinner.

Lunch was flatbreads and fried pork chops, which was Kyle's favorite combination. However, he had just taken two bites when Mikel and Ryan came over.

"Kyle, your Charms homework..."

"No, I won't lend it to you!" Kyle took a bite of his scone, glanced at them and said, "I don't want to be called by Professor Flitwick again."

"Don't worry, that won't happen this time!"

Mikel raised his hand and said confidently: "We were just too sleepy last night. We will definitely revise it and submit it today."

Kyle was skeptical of his words.

Last night, he lent all his homework to Mikkel and Ryan, but they only copied the Transfiguration homework.

Moreover, when the two returned to the dormitory, they were in great spirits and did not show any sign of wanting to sleep at all.

Even before Kyle fell asleep, they were still playing wizard chess with great interest.

With this previous record, Kyle no longer dared to trust them easily. He didn't want to fall into the same pit twice.

Besides, there were less than two hours left before the spells class, so even if he copied it, the time would be tight. He estimated that the "modification" mentioned by Mikel was probably just changing the name.

After lunch, Mikel and Ryan still had no intention of giving up and followed Kyle closely.

It wasn't until Kyle found an opportunity to cast an Disillusionment Spell on himself that he was able to shake them off.

Looking at his roommate passing by him, Kyle was extremely glad that he had learned the Disillusionment Spell.

This spell is so useful, like Avada eating a big melon, expelliarmus, and invisibility is the eternal god.

Praise the Illusion Spell.

Soon, Mikel and Ryan disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Kyle definitely couldn't go back to the dormitory, so he thought about it and went directly to the Charms classroom. He just wanted to find a place to read anyway, so it didn't matter where he was.

And compared to other places, the Charms classroom is undoubtedly much safer.

Because Mikel and Ryan would never come near here unless they were in class.
