Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 298 The sneaky trio

 After returning to the castle, Kyle and others walked through the crowded corridors, preparing to attend the next Transfiguration class.

 In the past two days, in almost all classes, someone asked about the secret room.

 But other professors are not as easy to talk to as Professor Sprout.

In the Transfiguration class, a Gryffindor raised her hand during a break in Professor McGonagall's lecture, but as soon as she said the words "Chamber of Secrets", she was mercilessly interrupted.

 “Ten points from Gryffindor.”

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said, "Miss Bell, I hope you can pay more attention to your own achievements instead of such illusory legends.

If I remember correctly, you haven't turned your buttons into beetles yet... Don't forget, this is the content of our first lesson, and Halloween is already over.

 If you continue like this, you may not even get a P (pass) in the exam. "

 Gryffindor Katie Bell's face turned red when she was told that, and she sat back with her head lowered.

 With her lessons learned, others will naturally not find themselves unhappy.

Of course, this is just Gryffindor students... Hufflepuff is different.

 They just learned the truth from Professor Sprout and there was no need to ask Professor McGonagall anymore.

 Looking at the classmates who were still kept in the dark, the little badgers suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of superiority in their hearts.

Gryffindor students are nothing more than that...

When get out of class was over, Kyle was going to go directly to the auditorium to the first floor to have lunch... But he had just arrived on the first floor when he heard a rapid "crackling" sound above his head.

These sounds were all too familiar to him. They were the explosions of the props in Myrtle's bathroom when they were triggered.

Without any hesitation, Kyle turned around and ran upstairs, taking out the wand and box as quickly as possible.

"Is it the person holding the diary, or...the basilisk!" Kyle felt nervous.

 It's easy to say if it's a human, but if it's a basilisk... I don't know if it will listen to me.

If you don't listen...how can Norbert, the Norwegian Ridgeback, be able to deal with it?

With this complicated mood, Kyle ran all the way to the corridor where Myrtle's bathroom was.

 But when he got here, he was suddenly stunned. Because everyone who appeared at the bathroom door was an acquaintance.

"Harry, Hermione, Ron?" Kyle asked subconsciously: "Why are you here?"

 The three of them seemed to be frightened by the series of explosions, and they suddenly reacted when they heard Kyle's voice.

Harry turned around and said hesitantly: "We...were just passing by...yes, passing by!"

While he was talking, Kyle also noticed that Hermione was holding a large thick book that seemed to be moldy.

After noticing Kyle's gaze, she immediately hid the book behind her back...the words "guilty as a thief" were written all over her face.

Although she moved very quickly, Kyle still saw the word "potion". If he guessed correctly, it should be "powerful potion".

 A high-end potion book, and he also has an identical hand-written version in his box.

Kyle didn't pay attention. He looked at the dark faces of the three people and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

 As long as it’s not a basilisk.

"Whether it's because you're passing by or for some other reason, I think you should run away quickly." Kyle said, "We just finished the Transfiguration class, and Professor McGonagall shouldn't be far away yet."

 “Professor McGonagall?!”

 The three of them were like cats whose tails had been stepped on, and they almost jumped up in fright.

“If she finds out we blew up the bathroom...”

"Ron, we didn't blow up the bathroom!" Hermione corrected: "We just opened the door, we didn't even go in."

 “I know, but Professor McGonagall doesn’t know!”

 “Stop talking, run away!”

Probably because of what they learned last Halloween, the three of them ran away without hesitation.

 When passing by Kyle, they did not forget to say thank you.

 “Thanks for the reminder, Kyle.”

 “Let’s go first!”

 The three of them came to the stairs as quickly as possible and started running towards Gryffindor Tower. Just as they turned the corner, on the other side of the corridor, a tabby cat jumped lightly onto the handrail next to it. Its amber eyes looked around and soon spotted Kyle and a messy bathroom. room.

Then the tabby cat jumped off the armrest and transformed into Professor McGonagall in mid-air.

 “It turns out this is here…”

She hurried to the bathroom and said, "Oh my god, what is happening here? Is someone practicing the blasting spell?"

Kyle also came over.

I have to say that Professor McGonagall’s description was a bit exaggerated.

In the bathroom, except for the surrounding walls, ceiling, and doorway, which were darkened by smoke, there was no damage at all.

  The "exploding textbook" is, after all, Joko's joke prop. Apart from being a bit louder, its lethality can be said to be almost zero.

 Otherwise Kyle wouldn’t dare to place them in the school.

Professor McGonagall quickly noticed this, but she was still angry.

"Professor McGonagall, I came here because I heard some noise." Kyle said first.

 Professor McGonagall glanced at him and nodded.

 “When you came, was there anyone else here?”

“There are three.” Kyle pointed in the direction of the stairs and said, “They just ran away from the stairs when I came.”

 “Who is it?” Professor McGonagall asked with her lips pursed.

Kyle pointed at the dark wall, "At that time, their faces were just like this wall. It was impossible to see their faces clearly."

Professor McGonagall looked at the wall of the bathroom, and then at the three clear humanoid silhouettes in the blackened hallway. He seemed to have thought of something, and there was a faint smile on his originally serious face.

 “It’s Joko’s stuff again…”

She had no intention of chasing Harry and the others. She just took out her wand, restored the bathroom to its original state, and then drove away the people around her.

The movement just now attracted many students who were watching the excitement. They thought that someone else was attacked like Filch.

During this process, Myrtle was as quiet as if she didn't exist. It wasn't until Professor McGonagall left that she carefully poked out her transparent head.

"Three annoying people were driven away... I didn't expect what you put there was actually useful."

"Otherwise, what do you think it is?" Kyle, who turned back halfway, looked at Myrtle and whispered.

"The old books you don't want..." said Myrtle, "will you bring new ones?"

"certainly."

The last time he went to Hogsmeade, Kyle bought a lot of things at Zuko, including the "Explosion Textbook".

Although there are only two books, judging from the movement just now, these are enough.

 …

By the time Kyle returned to the auditorium, lunch had already begun. Professor McGonagall was sitting at the guest chair and was talking to Professor Flitwick.

 The three Harrys came later, walking in with their heads lowered in the middle of lunch.

They all changed their clothes and arranged their fluffy and messy hair as they walked.

At the guest of honor table, Professor McGonagall glanced at them thoughtfully.

 …

 “It’s Quidditch tomorrow.”

Beside, Harris was talking to Cedric, "Gryffindor and Slytherin, we can just take a look at the power of those broomsticks and their new Seeker."

 Harris is referring to Draco Malfoy, the only new guy.

Cedric nodded, "I'll pay attention."

"I hope he got into the team because of those broomsticks, rather than a talent like Porter." Harris said hopefully.

Seven brand-new Nimbus 2001s are enough. If you add an excellent Seeker...the other three teams can't play at all.

 …
