Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 729 Kyle: Am I some kind of Dark Lord?

 “Good news, Kyle!”

Early the next morning, the new Quidditch team captain Grace excitedly found Kyle who was reading in the library.

"What's wrong, so happy?" Kyle put the book in his hand aside, "Did the mysterious man be killed by Principal Dumbledore last night?"

"Huh?" Grace blinked in confusion, "Really, really?"

"I'm asking you." Kyle raised his head and glanced at her, "Didn't you say there was good news?"

"No, it's not..." Grace then realized what Kyle meant and shook her head quickly: "The news I'm talking about has nothing to do with the mysterious person, it's about the team."

"Oh." Kyle suddenly lost interest, but still asked politely: "What's the matter?"

 “Do you know who we played against in the first game?” Grace asked.

 “Gryffindor?” Kyle said casually.

"You, how do you know?" Grace asked in surprise: "Did Ms. Huo Qi tell you?"

Logically speaking, a substitution is necessary in this situation, and former captain Angelina Johnson did the same.

“In very bad condition?” Kyle asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

“No, this just describes their good relationship.” Kyle waved his hand.

 Ron's talent is actually quite good. When he played Quidditch in St. Catchball Village, his performance was also remarkable, and he was even recognized by Charlie.

So according to the regulations, he must find Ms. Huo Qi in advance to adjust the team before he can play.

 He ​​went to substitute just because he had to go to the Ministry of Magic on the weekend, but now that the fireplace leading to the Ministry of Magic was blocked, he suddenly had a lot more time, and there would definitely be no problem participating in the competition.

“When we went to collect intelligence this time, we found that the goalkeeper Weasley was always absent-minded, and he could miss some shots that seemed to me to have no technical skills at all.

“If Ron Weasley is still in this state on the day of the official match, we will definitely win!”

Kyle hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll play."

"Wear a robe?" Grace was stunned again. "Although I heard that the Weasley family is not that wealthy, it's not like they can't even afford a robe...a second-hand robe costs less than a pound." Where’s the galleons?”

 He used this reason to convince himself that he was not abusing his power, then infinitely magnified the shortcomings of Ron's competitors, and then used this to convince others.

“Then will you participate in next week’s game?” Grace looked at Kyle with burning eyes, “We have a great chance of winning.”

 “Yes, I’m sorry.” Standing at the door of the library, Grace apologized repeatedly. "I did not do it on purpose."

Grace looked a little excited.

 But in order not to make him sad, Harry recalled him to the team again after becoming captain and gave him opportunities again and again.

 But his mentality is not good. At critical moments, his strength will shrink significantly. This was also shown in last year's game.

 She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice couldn't help but get louder.

 In Harry's words...he knew Ron could do it, he was just too nervous.

After noticing the change in Kyle's eyes, she shrugged and said, "Every team does this. Maybe you didn't notice that one month before the finals last year, the Weasley twins often took advantage of us. Hanging out around the field during practice...they're not here for a picnic."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter..." Kyle, who was implicated, felt helpless, "I'll just ask someone to help me borrow those books then."

It was obviously impossible to continue reading, so he could only turn around and walk towards the common room.

Mrs. Pince came angrily and kicked Kyle and Grace out.

"Okay." Grace didn't pay too much attention and continued: "I guess he must stay in the team because of his relationship with Porter. If it were me, his poor performance would definitely be impossible. Be a goalie.”

 At this moment, Kyle finally knew her purpose.

"No, I guessed it," Kyle said.

Grace ran away excitedly. She needed to find Ms. Huo Qi as soon as possible to change the roster of the main players.

 No wonder he always ran into Fred and George after training. The two guys would lie to him and say they were testing new joke props. Now everything makes sense.

"Okay." Kyle nodded, "Continue."

"That's right." Kyle nodded, "They are inseparable, and they can even wear a robe."

 …

"Then your guess is correct, it's Gryffindor." Grace lowered her voice, "I noticed that their goalkeeper, Weasley, is in very poor condition. Isn't this good news for us? ?"

"Where did I just say it?" Grace thought for a moment, "Oh, by the way, the goalkeeper...

"Mikel and I secretly watched their training..." Grace said, "Don't get me wrong, this is a normal behavior, to gather information."

Kyle nodded. He quite agreed with Grace's statement.

“Potter made a big mistake. He abused his power as captain, but this is good news for us.” Grace said excitedly:

“I remember that Ron Weasley, he seemed to be good friends with their captain, Harry Potter.”

 “What are you doing! No noise is allowed in the library!”

 Because at the beginning of school, Kyle took the initiative to find Ms. Huo Qi and adjusted himself from the main position to the substitute.

 There were three Gryffindor games, and in two of them Ron was sleepwalking, not knowing what he should do at all.

Kyle looked back at the library and Mrs. Pince, who was still angry.

“Sure enough, Mikel is right, not every Weasley is a Quidditch genius.”

 …

 In the next few days, Hogwarts enjoyed a rare period of peace, with no attacks and no dark magic.

 Even the Daily Prophet rarely reported news about who was attacked by Death Eaters again... The wizarding world seemed to have returned to the situation a few years ago.

 But what happened specifically, and whether it was really as peaceful outside as the newspapers, Kyle, who had been staying at Hogwarts, had no way of knowing.

 He could only find some strange things in school...such as Malfoy.

 In recent times, he has hardly seen Malfoy in school. The only few times he met him were during meals in the auditorium.

What's even more strange is that whenever Kyle wants to say a few words to him and express his gratitude, Snape will appear nearby like a ghost, and then pull Malfoy away without any explanation.

 “Really, when did the relationship between Snape and Malfoy become so good!”

　　In an herbal medicine class, Kyle couldn't help complaining: "Snape cares so much about Malfoy that he might as well stick him to himself with a permanent sticking spell."

 “What are you looking for Malfoy for?” Connor asked from the side.

"Of course I want to thank him." Kyle blurted out: "He helped me in Hogsmeade anyway. I have to express it in some way, otherwise it would be too rude."

"If that's the case, you can go to the office to find him." Kangna put on protective gloves, carefully pulled the blue mushroom in front of her out of the soil, and placed it on a wooden stake next to it.

Seven or eight small tentacles like buds stretched out from the roots of the mushrooms and clung tightly to the wooden pile. Then the wooden pile began to dry up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is a special way of fertilizing Hopla mushrooms, and it is also their task in this lesson.

After the Hopla mushroom began to **** the sap, Connor continued: "Malfoy has been in Professor Snape's office recently. I have seen him many times when I was in solitary confinement." "Have you seen him?" Kyle asked, "So he's not in the common room at night?"

 Connor had to avoid Slughorn's dinner invitations, so her tailor-made confinement usually took place at night.

"Probably not here." Connor thought for a while and said, "It seems that Malfoy is also in solitary confinement. Snape will only send him back when the curfew is over."

"Tsk, send it back..." Kyle curled his lips, "Is he afraid that Malfoy will get lost?"

Kanna didn't say anything, she just put the Hopla mushroom that had fallen off the stake back into the soil.

After finishing all this, she suddenly asked: "The last time we were in Hogsmeade, it was Malfoy who used the Imperius Curse on Katie."

 “Why do you say that?” Kyle asked.

"I guess," said Connor. "Just like I was in solitary confinement to avoid Professor Slughorn, Malfoy must also be trying to hide from someone."

“Then why do you think it’s me?” Kyle raised his eyebrows.

“Because you’re the only one looking for him,” said Connor. “Now that you know that, the rest is obvious, isn’t it?

 The only interaction you have had recently was the last time you were in Hogsmeade. If Malfoy really helped you, there was no need for him to hide, so there was only another possibility...that Malfoy gave Katie the dark magic necklace and asked her to deal with you. "

Kyle stopped what he was doing and couldn't help but said: "Kanna, you are really the smartest witch I have ever seen."

"Thank you for the compliment..." Kangna looked at Kyle with a smile, "So I guessed it right?"

“So be it.” Kyle said, “I can only confirm that the necklace is related to Malfoy, but I still need to ask Malfoy about the specific details.

"It's a pity that Snape never gave me a chance...well, I mean Snape, Professor."

"He must have some other reasons. I know him." Kang Na whispered: "And I found that he has been acting strange recently, as if he is doing something secretly."

Kyle put down the mushroom in his hand and looked at Kangna.

She continued: "For example, during this year's holiday, he seemed to really not want me to stay in the UK. The exam obviously didn't start until August, but he sent me there the day after the holiday, and also after the exam."

"Maybe...he's just worried about you meeting the mysterious person." Kyle said.

“I thought so at first, but I always felt something was wrong.” Kangna frowned and stared blankly at the dry wood pile in front of her.

“And I also discovered that when he was in school, he also deliberately kept a distance from me. Whether in private or on other occasions, he asked me to call him Professor Snape and absolutely not to call him anything else.

 “I feel like he is afraid of someone.”

　　When Kangna said the last sentence, her voice was small, but her tone was firm.

Kyle stared at Connor, not noticing that Professor Sprout had walked over.

“No more whispering.” She looked at the remaining row of Hopla mushrooms in front of the two of them. “You are already far behind the others.”

“Okay, Professor, let’s do it now!” Kyle said.

 Professor Sprout nodded and left.

For a period of time after that, neither of them spoke anymore, but concentrated on the task of this lesson.

Of course, they may not be that attentive because they have other things on their minds, so their movements will inevitably be slower.

 It was not until ten minutes before the end of get out of class that they completed the tasks assigned by Professor Sprout.

Kyle stuffed the Hopla mushroom in his hand into the soil and turned to look at Kangna again, seemingly determined.

 He took out his wand and waved it lightly. "Close your ears and listen!"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…》

　　"Well..." Kangna turned her head, "What's wrong?"

"You want to know what Professor Snape...is doing?" Kyle said softly: "I happen to know a little bit."

“Oh, that’s it.” Kangna blinked and said calmly, “I don’t want to.”

 “Huh?” Kyle didn’t react for a moment.

 “I said, I don’t want to know.” Kangna repeated.

"Professor Snape naturally has his reasons for not telling me." She said with a smile: "I can't help him with anything now. The only thing I can do is to maintain the status quo so that he doesn't have to spend time and energy to change it for me. plan of."

 “You trust Professor Snape that much? What if he is…”

"Of course I trust him." Connor interrupted Kyle and said firmly: "Just like I trust you."

"Okay." Kyle took off his gloves and put them aside, then put on a pair of stronger dragon leather gloves. "But this is really unpleasant to hear...Give me the basin."

Kanna handed over a small basin filled with gray particles, which exuded a pungent smell.

This is the fertilizer prepared by Professor Sprout himself. It is a purely natural mixed fertilizer. It is very effective, but the taste is equally unpleasant.

If you don't put it farther away, I'm afraid everyone will have to go to class with the Bubble Curse.

"Kyle, can you...um..." Kangna poured some gray particles into the soil, her face was full of confusion, as if she didn't know what to say next.

"Okay, I understand what you mean." Kyle waved his hand, "I just won't bother Malfoy for the time being."

"No, that's not what I meant." Kangna shook her head quickly, "He wants to use black magic items to deal with you. This is absolutely unforgivable. What I mean is that I will help you ask clearly. If you believe my words."

"No need." Kyle said with a smile, "It was actually Malfoy who saved himself, remember? He knocked over the package on purpose in the end so that I didn't touch it.

"If it weren't for this, let alone Professor Snape, it would be useless even if he hid in the principal's office."

Kyle also poured some fertilizer on the Hopla mushroom in front of him, and then threw the pot far away.

"And I can probably guess the specific situation of this matter. I just wanted to find Malfoy to make sure."

 “Is that just it?” Connor said, seeming relieved, “I thought you wanted…well, it’s nothing.”

"Wait a minute." Kyle looked at him, "You don't think I want to kill him."

"No, isn't it?" Connor looked a little embarrassed, "I overheard their conversation before... Professor Snape said that this was the only way to save his life."

"Of course not!" Kyle couldn't help but raise his voice, "Slander, this is a complete slander. I kill my classmates if I disagree with them. Am I some kind of Dark Lord?"

"Even when Voldemort was in school, he wouldn't have gone so far. As a professor, Snape's behavior was too bad!"

One thing to say is that Kyle really never thought about killing Malfoy. After all, they are still students at Hogwarts. Malfoy is not even an adult, so even if there is no final move, Kyle is at most Just teach him a lesson, killing him would be an exaggeration.

"Hmm... maybe I heard it wrong." Kang Na said softly.

 “Huh?” Kyle sneered and turned a deaf ear.

 He took back the pot he had just thrown out, turned a dead branch nearby into a bag, and filled it with a bag full of compound fertilizer.

Under Kangna's shocked gaze, Kyle carefully put the bag away again.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm a very generous person. I don't care about Snape's slander against me." Kyle said calmly: "I only take these to fertilize the fresh food. I won't go to Snape." I never thought about the compound fertilizer bibimbap that Nap put in his lunch."
