Chapter 25: Roommates

"In short, there are many things that need to be paid attention to. As long as everyone pays more attention, you will not have your house points deducted.

But even if you are occasionally careless and get deducted points, it doesn't matter. We Hufflepuffs don't care about it, as long as everyone is happy at Hogwarts. "

Prefect Harris was talking among the crowd, while Kyle sat on the outer edge, his head lowered without saying a word.

"Kyle, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

At this time, Cedric came over, handed him a glass of juice, and said: "Fresh orange juice, a glass before bed is definitely a good choice."

Kyle didn't answer, didn't even raise his head, and just waved his hand at Cedric, indicating that he didn't need it.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, I just feel a little sleepy." Kyle still didn't look up and said in a slightly hurried tone: "And I don't like to drink before going to bed. You can give it to someone else."

This unusual behavior naturally aroused Cedric's curiosity. He took two light steps to the left, only to find that Kyle turned in the opposite direction almost at the same time.

12 out of 10 that something was wrong.

"Okay, then I'll go ask the other freshmen." Cedric walked quickly to the side, held his breath, and kept his steps as light as possible. Then, he circled Kyle again, and after estimating his position, he quickly lay down on the ground.

Kyle was still thinking about when he could go back to the dormitory when suddenly a hairy head appeared in front of his eyes.

The two looked at each other...

"Kyle, what's wrong with your eyes? Why do you have such a big black eye?"

"It's nothing!"

Kyle quickly raised his hand to cover his left eye and said seriously: "I accidentally bumped into the table just now. It's normal to have a bruise or something similar."

"How can it be so round though?" Cedric sat on the ground and touched his chin. "It looks like someone punched you."

"Impossible, you are thinking too much!" Kyle said seriously: "Even if you don't believe me, don't you still believe in Hufflepuff? This is the warmest family in the entire Hogwarts. How could there be a violent person here?"

"That's true. Did he really fall?" Cedric nodded in agreement.

He also didn't believe that someone from Hufflepuffs would beat up a new student on the first day of school, something which usually only happened in Slytherin.

But he still didn't understand why the "black eye" would be so round if he really fell.

Extraordinary talent?

Just as Cedric was puzzled, Prefect Harris also finished.

"From today onwards, we are classmates. If you need help with anything, just ask. There's no need to feel embarrassed.

Hufflepuff is a warm family, and every senior, including me, will help you.

You must be sleepy now. I will take you to your respective dormitories. Patty, you will be in charge of the girls' side."

Kyle, as if he had been granted amnesty, quickly stood up from the sofa and followed the large crowd. He didn't even say goodbye to Cedric before leaving.

With Harris leading the way, Kyle quickly arrived at his dorm.

Like the common room, the main colors here were yellow and black.

The copper lamp cast a warm light on the four-poster bed in the dormitory, and a copper bed warmer hung on the wall, which could keep the little wizard's bed at the most comfortable temperature.

There were two other students in the same dorm with him.

Mikel Drake, a thin and dark-haired boy.

The other one was blond and relatively muscular, named Ryan Baggins.

Well, both of them were unknown extras.

As for the remaining bed, it was empty. It must be because there were not enough new students.

Kyle tilted his head and briefly greeted the two of them before climbing into bed.

"Hey, this is really amazing, isn't it? I am actually a wizard." Mikel sat on the edge of the bed and said enthusiastically: "None of our family knows magic. My father sells drilling rigs and my mother works in a bank.

So when I first received the letter, I thought it was just a prank, but I didn't expect it to be true. Haha, Hogwarts... I still think I am dreaming."

"I'm half and half, which is what wizards often call half-blood."

Ryan, who had blond hair, agreed: "My dad is a wizard and my mom is a Muggle, and she was horrified when she found out the truth."

"Of course, this is the case for people who have never been exposed to magic." Mikel said: "You might not be able to imagine, but when that professor named Quirrell appeared in our house, my parents almost called the police.

Just like that, he suddenly stood in front of us, and he said that it was some sort of transposition...movement?"

"Apparition." Kyle reminded quietly from the side.

"Yes, that's right, it was Apparition."

Mikel looked over, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "Hey, I remember you. You are that Kyle Chopper who took twenty minutes to complete the sorting, right?"

"Yes, nice to meet you." Kyle replied.

"Well, can you tell us what happened?" Mikel asked curiously: "Why did your sorting take so long? Twenty minutes, which was longer than all the freshmen combined."

"It's nothing." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "It's just that the Sorting Hat was always struggling about where to sort me and could not make up its mind."

"So that's how it." Mikel said with emotion: "You must be outstanding if you can make that hat think about it for so long."

Kyle just smiled and said nothing.

It is a fact that he was outstanding, but the Sorting Hat had nothing to do with it.

Also, if Mikel knew the real reason for the Sorting Hat's confusion, he probably wouldn't have said that.

For the next period of time, Mikel kept talking as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

From Diagon Alley to Gringotts, and from Gringotts to choosing a wand, there was no stopping in between.

It seemed that becoming a wizard really made him very happy.

In the beginning, Kyle and Ryan could still say a few words, but gradually, only Mikel's voice could be heard in the dormitory.

They couldn't help it; it was too much.

They were already feeling sleepy after eating a lot, plus they had been on a train for more than ten hours before, so it was very difficult to stay awake until now.

Kyle also wanted to talk to his roommates to improve their friendship, but the bed was too comfortable and he unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.

Ryan, was was beside him fell asleep even faster, and there was no movement five minutes ago.
