Chapter 26: Touching My Conscience and Saying...(EDITED)

"Hi, Kyle, wait for me!"

In the corridor outside the Potion classroom.

Kyle was about to report to Dumbledore but was stopped by little Hermione.

"Kyle, can we talk?" Hermione's expression was complicated.

"Of course!"

The two went to a corner where no one was around.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Kyle looked at the little girl in front of him.

At this time, Hermione was not yet very good at dressing up, wearing a pair of glasses. However, if you look closely, you can still see that she is a genuine beauty.

"Um, I want to say..."

"Why were you sorted into Slytherin?"

"You don't seem to be..."

Hermione's words were stuttered, obviously not yet well spoken.

But Kyle understood immediately.

"Are you afraid I'll become a Dark wizard in the future?"

"No, I mean..."

"Hermione, are all Slytherins bad people?"

"As far as I know, Slytherin has produced more than a dozen potions masters in history, as well as several Ministers of Magic."

"And there are countless high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic."

"Really?" Hermione was a little puzzled.

This was different from what she had learned in Gryffindor.

"Of course, if you have the chance to go to Knockturn Alley in the future, you might hear my name."

"Kyle, the nemesis of Dark wizards!"

Kyle didn't even blink, but his tone was very serious.

"To be honest, there aren't many kind wizards like me these days!"

After hearing this, Hermione's face flushed.

She lowered her head.

"Kyle, um, can i touch your heart?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry, my mistake!"

"Okay, I have something to do later. If there's nothing else, I'll go first." Kyle waved goodbye.

He still had to go report to Dumbledore!

"Um, goodbye then!"

Hermione still didn't seem very natural.

Who touches someone else's heart...

...

"Hermione, what are you doing here?" Harry Potter and Ron Weasley passed by.

"Oh, nothing, I'm going back to the common room."

Hermione said casually.

"Really? Then we can go back together."

"No, Harry, I think you should go to the infirmary first. I really don't understand why you suddenly feel that Snape is your father!"

Ron chimed in.

"Oh, Ron, you don't understand."

"Although Professor Snape seems to be targeting me, I have to admit, since I came to Hogwarts, he's the third... or second..."

Harry wanted to say the third person who cared about him, but then he realized...

He wasn't sure if what happened with Kyle in the Transfiguration classroom that morning counted as the second.

"Anyway, I can feel that he cares about me."

"Do you remember what Kyle said?"

"While at Hogwarts..."

"But he asked you to go to the infirmary..." Ron was too tired to comment.

"But didn't you notice how severe his tone was before, and then it wasn't severe when he spoke later?"

"Hermione, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Hermione was absent-minded, her mind full of Kyle, suddenly being called out.

She casually said, "Maybe you're right."

"There must be something that he doesn't want to recognize me for. I think it's my eyes."

"He kept staring at my eyes today. Maybe he doesn't like my eyes?"

"Hermione, do you know any way to change the color of my eyes?"

Harry asked Hermione, 

"Um, I'm not sure. But maybe you should go to the library and find a way. There are many books there!"

"That!",s good idea !

...

Headmaster's office

"Dumbledore, I have something to tell you!"

For the second time that day, Snape entered the headmaster's office.

"Severus, you're here!" Dumbledore had just finished his morning nap.

He looked okay for now, of course, only on the surface.

Because he had just sent Professors McGonagall and Flitwick away.

His mind was in a mess.

He had thought that Kyle was just a little prankster like the twins.

But...

He underestimated him!

Compared to him, the twins were simply the most obedient children.

This was only the first day of school, and there were already no ceilings in the Transfiguration classroom and no walls in the charms classroom.

Including Snape, the head of Slytherin...

Three heads of houses had come to complain.

"Maybe we should think of a solution. We can't let this child, Kyle, go on like this."

Dumbledore rubbed his temples in distress.

Of course, this "solution"...

was not about expelling or punishing him.

It was about finding a better way to educate Kyle...

And, incidentally...

He really didn't want to hear Snape complain again.

"No, absolutely not. I firmly disagree with any action against Kyle!"

Immediately after, Snape's words left Dumbledore stunned.

"?????"

No...

Did my old ears mishear?

He had come to insist on expelling Kyle for two days in a row.

But now...
