Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 166 Not as good as the fish in the black lake

The popularity of Quidditch at Hogwarts lasted for a long time, and the related books in the library were quickly exhausted, and people who wanted to borrow them were queued up until after Christmas.

 “If I had known earlier, I should have come earlier.”

 At the door of the library on the second floor, Harry said with some annoyance.

　　Tomorrow evening at seven o'clock will be his special training time. He originally wanted to read relevant books in advance to learn more about this aspect.

As a result, the librarian Mrs. Pince told him that there was no more, and if he wanted to read it, he could only wait until after Christmas.

 But there are still several months before Christmas, and it’s too long.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Ron said with a smile: "Everyone is talking about Quidditch. It's okay if you don't know anything, you will be laughed at."

As he spoke, Ron raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

Because he knows a lot about Quidditch and has two brothers from the academy team, he can be said to be quite popular these days. He is surrounded by a group of young wizards wherever he goes.

 This feeling of being noticed and valued by everyone was something he had never experienced before.

"How about we ask Hermione?"

Harry said tentatively: "I remember she had a copy of "The Magic of Quidditch" there, but I don't know if she has returned it."

"I think that we should give up."

 Hearing this name, Ron's grin suddenly retracted.

He frowned and said with a grimace: "She hasn't spoken to us for a long time since she came back from the fourth floor that day.

And everyone in Gryffindor knew that Hermione never borrowed books for more than three days. "

 After Ron said this, Harry also remembered... Hermione was indeed like this.

 From the first day of school, she always carried two books with her. One was a textbook needed for class, and the other was borrowed from the library.

 Not just pretending, but really looking.

 In addition, when she was in the common room, she rarely communicated with other little wizards. She always sat silently in the corner reading a book.

I don’t know who discovered it first, but she said that she basically changed the books she borrowed from the library every three days.

Seamus Finnigan had made a bet with the two of them before, saying that she wouldn't be able to hold on for a month.

But judging from the current situation, he is probably going to lose. As long as Hermione changes another book tomorrow, he will have to buy a box of Bibi's Multi-flavor beans for everyone in the dormitory.

Harry didn’t care about a box of candies, but he still couldn’t figure out how Hermione managed to finish reading a book in two or three days.

 For him, even reading a book in two weeks is a difficult task.

 “Then forget it.” Harry sighed.

 In fact, he was quite afraid of seeing Hermione. The invisible aura of the top student always made him nervous.

 “How about asking Kyle.”

At this time, Ron suddenly said: "I heard from Fred and George that they have books about Quidditch, and there are more than one."

Harry was a little moved, but still hesitated: "But, I don't know Kyle, will he lend me the book?"

"Don't worry, I'm here." Ron patted his chest, then pulled Harry and ran downstairs.

“And you’ll never know until you try it... Come with me, we’ll go find him now.”

The two of them searched around the castle, from the underground classroom to the astronomy tower, but they couldn't find Kyle.

Unexpectedly, even the twins and Cedric seemed to be missing.

When he was finally on the astronomy tower, Harry accidentally glanced outside the castle and saw a few people fishing by the black lake.

“So, you came to me to borrow Quidditch books?”

On the edge of the black lake, Kyle looked at the panting duo and asked, "Isn't there some in the library? The collection of books there is much richer than what I have here. You can just go and borrow it."

"It's been borrowed all." Harry took a breath and said nervously: "Mrs. Pince said we can't wait until after Christmas."

On the way here, Ron had said that he could borrow the books, but after thinking about it, Harry thought it would be better to say it in person.

  After all, he was the one who really wanted to read, not Ron.

 “Are Quidditch books so popular now?”

Kyle looked at Harry's nervous look and took out his wand without saying anything.

 “Quidditch Origins is coming!”

Not long after, a thick book drew an arc in mid-air and landed lightly in Kyle's hands.

 “You should read this first.”

Kyle handed the book to Harry, "There are some flight instructions in it, which are more suitable for novices like you."

 “Thank you, thank you!”

 Harry quickly took it and said, "I will return it to you as soon as possible."

Kyle waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I don't need this book now, you can just read it."

 After Harry thanked him again, he and Ron returned to the castle.

 After they left, Kyle turned to look at Fred and George next to him, wondering: "What's wrong with you?"

Ron had taken the initiative to greet them as soon as they met, but the twins seemed not to have heard and didn't even look back.

 This is a bit abnormal.

Although Fred and George liked to tease their little brother, they never ignored him, and they would always say something perfunctory no matter what.

“It’s nothing, I just simply don’t want to talk to him.” Fred sighed.

“We used to think Ron was not smart, but we never thought he was so stupid.”

 “How do you say...” Kyle seemed to smell the smell of melon.

 George asked: “Remember the last time we met them on the fourth floor?”

Kyle nodded. Not only did he remember them, he also saw them with his own eyes.

 “We’ve asked about it.”

Fred said: "They agreed to Malfoy's wizard duel, so they went to the fourth floor."

　　"A wizard's duel?" Cedric said subconsciously: "Slytherin will not call out a wizard's duel easily. This sounds like a trap."

 “Who says it’s not?”

George shook his head and said: "During curfew time, on the fourth floor where it is easiest to be discovered, wizards duel...put these three together, even goblins can see it is a trap."

“But Ron actually believed it…”

 “Merlin, is he really a Weasley?”

"Uh..." Cedric opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something fair for Ron, but he didn't know what to say.

 After all, Charlie, Percy and the twins are all very smart. In comparison, Ron's mind is indeed not very bright.

“You can bite with a straight hook...” Fred shook the fishing rod in his hand and said: “He is not even as good as the fish in the black lake!”
