Chapter 33: Retire After Success

In a corner of the Hufflepuff common room, Cedric was looking at the enthusiastic new students not far away with a shocked expression.

He couldn't understand what was wrong with this year's freshmen. Couldn't they tell that Kyle was talking nonsense? Why were they so cooperative?

This was Hufflepuff, not Ravenclaw.

Cedric didn't know what others were thinking. Anyway, if he was admitted to the school hospital, he definitely wouldn't want any class notes or homework.

Especially homework.

Good heavens, using homework as a gift... Was this something a normal wizard could come up with? Even Voldemort wouldn't do such a wicked thing.

Cedric's conscience told him that he should expose Kyle and save the innocent Mikel.

But he couldn't do it.

Because to some extent, Kyle's words can make Hufflepuff's little badgers more serious in class.

This was undoubtedly a good thing.

Cedric was in a dilemma for a long time.

In the past twelve years, he had never experienced such a difficult choice. On one side was his conscience, and on the other side was his responsibility as a senior. He didn't want to give up either, and could only jump between the two choices repeatedly.

Not far from Cedric was Kanna, who was also in a daze. She was also the only freshman who could still maintain a clear mind.

Unlike Cedric, Kanna's thoughts were much simpler.

No matter what, she had to stay away from Kyle!

Kanna secretly swore in her heart that after getting the special rat tonic, she would stay far away from Kyle. Even if she couldn't transfer to another house, she would try to avoid all possible encounters.

Also, during class, she had to choose a seat farthest away from Kyle.

On the other side, the little badgers with a strong sense of mission were still discussing the specific plans for the future. Kyle, who had succeeded in his mission, quietly squeezed out of the crowd and retired.

Now everyone's attention was on what they wanted to do next, and naturally, Kyle, a third party, would no longer attract as much attention as before.

Kyle found a sofa away from the crowd and sat down, flipping through the book "The Bard in the Wind".

This was a book published fifty years ago. It tells the story of a bard's experience during his journey and the various troubles he encountered.

The style was very similar to Lockhart's works, but the difference was that this book used very few pages to describe the bard himself, and the focus was basically on the things he saw.

It recorded many magic spells with regional characteristics, which gave Kyle a refreshing feeling.

He continued reading until noon when Cedric came to ask him for lunch. Kyle reluctantly closed the book.

"What were you reading?" Cedric asked curiously, "I called you several times just now but you didn't respond."

"The Bard in the Wind." Kyle handed the book in his hand to Cedric and said, "Headmaster Dumbledore recommended it. It's a very interesting biography."

"Recommended by the principal?"

Cedric's eyes lit up and he immediately expressed that he wanted to read it too.

"That's not a problem, but I've just started reading it. You have to wait a few days." Kyle thought for a while and said, "Or you can go to the library and ask if there are any extra ones."

"No need." Cedric returned the book to Kyle, shook his head, and said, "Just let me know after you finish reading it, and I'll borrow it again."

Based on his knowledge of the school library, there were rarely two biographical books of the same kind. Therefore, it would be a waste of time to go there.

Besides, he was just interested, and he didn't necessarily have to read it now. It didn't matter if he read it a few days earlier or later.

After leaving the Hufflepuff common room, the two quickly arrived at the Great Hall.

After a whole morning, the news that the Charms classroom was blown up by a Hufflepuff wizard had already spread throughout Hogwarts.

In the Great Hall, almost all the little wizards were talking about this topic enthusiastically.

"Hey, look who's here!"

As soon as Kyle walked into the door of the Great Hall, he was blocked by Fred and George who had been waiting here early.

"I knew that Hogwarts would not be peaceful with you around. It was just as I expected." Fred hooked Kyle's shoulder and said, "Tell us, how did you blow up the classroom?"

George also chimed in: "Yes, we heard that even Professor Flitwick limped out of the classroom."

"Blowing up the professor in the first class..." Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison: "Kyle, you will definitely be recorded in the school's history!"

The twins' voices were loud and soon attracted the attention of other little wizards. More and more students began to gather around.

Kyle was rendered speechless and said helplessly: "First of all, the Lighting charm cannot blow up the classroom, this is common sense. Professor Flitwick only injured his leg because he fell accidentally."

"Secondly, the little wizard who caused all this is currently in the school hospital and has nothing to do with me. If you continue to slander me, I will write to Mrs. Weasley."

"It wasn't you?"

The twins were stunned at the same time. Clearly, this was not what they had expected.

"Of course not, why would you think that?" Kyle pointed to his side and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Cedric."

"I testify that it really wasn't Kyle." Cedric nodded immediately.

"You heard it." Kyle pushed the two of them away, "Where did you get this information? It's too unreliable."

"I heard it from the Ravenclaw freshmen." Fred shrugged and said, "They said you sent your classmate to the school hospital."

After hearing this, Kyle was even more speechless and immediately said: "I was there to help, alright. Headmaster Dumbledore even gave me twenty points. By the way, did they say anything else? It can't be just this, right?"

"I don't know." George spread his hands and said matter-of-factly: "We heard this when we passed by."

"What the hell..."

Kyle took a deep breath. He no longer wanted to talk to these two anymore.

He originally thought that there was a talent in Ravenclaw who took things out of context, but he didn't expect that the real talents were Fred and George.

When you ask for information, you should listen to the whole story until the end. Why take things out of context, and with such ambiguity?

Fortunately, they found him directly and didn't spread it everywhere, otherwise, the good reputation he had painstakingly built up would be gone.

Kyle sighed, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said: "It's a waste of your talents to stay at Hogwarts. You should go directly to work at the Daily Prophet. Rita Skeeter will definitely love you to death."
