Chapter 146: Cedric to the Rescue
Chapter 146: Cedric to the Rescue
On the first day of the new school year, Fred and George immediately became the center of attention for all the young witches and wizards.
Even when they returned to the common room, the students couldn't stop talking about them.
"Do you think the Weasley brothers will be able to sell that candy?"
Cedric, sitting on the sofa, asked doubtfully, "Professor McGonagall won't approve, right?"
Kyle thought for a moment and replied, "They definitely can't do it openly. But as long as they don't get caught, it's fine. The school even prohibits Droopshire and Firework Rockets from being brought into the castle, but you've seen those things before, right?"
"That's different," Cedric frowned.
He remembered that before the start of school, the Weasley brothers had told him that the candy was meant to help students skip classes... How could the professors ignore that? Kyle shrugged, indicating that he wasn't sure either.
However, based on his understanding of Fred and George, the two of them had probably already figured out a solution.
And as long as they weren't caught in the act, the professors probably wouldn't suspect Fred and George.
They would only think that the candy was a product of Zonko's or some other joke shop, and eventually, the Licorice Wands would be added to the list of prohibited items.
Hmm... That's probably how it would go.
As a regular feature of Hufflepuff, there was no shortage of homework to catch up on after the start of the school year.
As more and more students filled the common room, Kyle and Cedric returned to their respective dormitories, giving up their seats to students who wanted to create miracles.
Their dormitories were the same as last year's, except for a sign on the door that read "Second Year."
The room's furnishings remained unchanged and were very clean, probably thanks to the house-elves who had tidied up in advance.
Kyle lay on his bed, looking at the familiar surroundings, and soon his consciousness blurred.
Because he had slept early, the next day, Kyle woke up early and headed to the eighth floor of the castle alone.
Thanks to the Room of Requirement's ability to perfectly replicate natural environments, and with the regular fertilization by the Luna Moth, even though Kyle hadn't tended to the garden for two months, it was still thriving.
However, there were definitely changes.
The most noticeable one was the Devil's Snare, which, being closest to the Luna Moth's nest, had grown significantly larger than two months ago. Its tendrils were now as thick as wrists and had darkened in color.
Additionally, the Mandrakes planted before the holidays had already sprouted, and Kyle estimated that with their fist-sized mouths opening and closing, they would start growing teeth in another week or two.
The Angelica and the Rue were also growing vigorously, forming a lush green patch.
The Luna Moth was sleeping.
The Billywig was frolicking in the air, and upon seeing Kyle, it immediately flew over with its propeller spinning.
Kyle instinctively took a step back, greeted it briefly, and then left the Room of Requirement.
Today, this little guy seemed a bit too excited, flying around Kyle in circles, completely forgetting the venomous stinger on its body.
Kyle didn't want to get stung by it.
After leaving the Room of Requirement, Kyle descended the stairs and returned to the Great Hall.
At this time, the hall was already filled with quite a few students, who were gathered in small groups, whispering and looking towards the Gryffindor table.
"It's over there, look."
"Where?"
"Next to that tall, red-haired boy, the one with glasses."
"Harry Potter!"
"Did you see his face... that scar!"
Harry seemed uncomfortable with all the attention, keeping his head down and quickly eating his breakfast.
Kyle walked over to the Hufflepuff table.
Fred and George were there, talking to Cedric.
"Homework, Cedric, you have to save us."
Fred said pitifully, "I didn't expect to have Potions class on the first day of the new school year. If we don't turn in our homework on time..."
George shivered, "Snape will definitely kill us."
"I can lend you my homework." Cedric said, "But class is about to start. Are you sure you have time to finish it now?"
"It should be fine."
Fred nodded repeatedly, "We have Potions in the second period, so we can finish it during Divination."
"Alright then." Cedric thought for a moment and said, "I'll go get it for you after breakfast."
"Thank you so much!"
Fred and George looked at Cedric with gratitude.
"You saved our lives!"
The correct version is available at Book Bar 69! 6=9+Book_Bar is the first to release this novel.
Cedric just smiled slightly. From last night until now, he had already saved many people.
Kyle sat down next to the Weasley brothers and asked curiously, "Did you choose Divination?"
"Divination and Care of Magical Creatures."
Fred said, "Divination is a must-have class. Charlie said it's easy to get high scores, and the class is very relaxed."
"As long as we make ourselves sound pitiful when Professor Trelawney asks, we can do whatever we like."
George said, "I suggest you also take Divination next year. This class is a godsend for students."
"That's worth considering."
Kyle looked at the two of them and hesitated for a moment before suddenly saying, "If possible, I suggest you also take Ancient Runes."
"Why do you say that?"
Fred asked in confusion, "I heard this class is difficult."
"It's extremely difficult." George frowned, "During the holidays, Percy spent most of his time on this."
"That's true."
Kyle nodded, "But you've always wanted to open a Joke Shop, right? Ancient Runes is very helpful for Alchemy."
Alchemy?
Fred and George exchanged glances, and they understood Kyle's meaning.
Those joke products are also considered alchemical items. If that's the case, then Ancient Runes would be very useful to them.
"Kyle, why are you only telling us about this important matter now?" George said, tugging at his hair.
The course selection had already ended. If they wanted to take Ancient Runes, they would have to ask Professor McGonagall to add an extra class.
But with only three elective classes... this would undoubtedly take up a lot of time. If they were to ask Professor McGonagall, they wouldn't have time to do what they liked.
However, opening their own Joke Shop had always been their dream. If Ancient Runes were truly helpful for alchemy, they couldn't give it up.
The two of them immediately fell into a dilemma.
"Why don't we go talk to Professor McGonagall?"
After a moment of thought, George tentatively asked, "Do you think she'll agree to us swapping Care of Magical Creatures for Ancient Runes?"
...
Sorry, I just got back from outside last night and forgot to schedule the post.
Clang, clang, clang... Please forgive me!
