Chapter 182: I Shouldn't Have Told You This
Chapter 182: I Shouldn't Have Told You This
Nothing at Hogwarts is easy, except for Quidditch, where Hufflepuff easily eliminated Ravenclaw.
When Cedric caught the Golden Snitch, the Ravenclaw students in the stands were left in a daze. They sat there, disheartened and speechless.
Professor Flitwick came by halfway through the match, but he only stayed for a few minutes before leaving, clutching his chest.
In less than half an hour, the score was 320 to 0...
Despite being accustomed to consistently losing in Quidditch, such a huge score gap was still difficult for them to accept.
Especially on the scoreboard, that glaring "0" was unbearable! Even scoring a single goal would have been nice...
"Cedric, why are you flying so fast!"
After returning to the ground, Kyle whispered, "We were already winning. There's no point in catching the Snitch."
"I have to keep an eye out for the Snitch at all times; when would I have time to pay attention to the score?"
Cedric glared at Kyle and clenched his teeth, saying, "And have you ever seen a match where the Bludgers abandon the Snitch? Abandoning the Snitch is like abandoning honor. No Seeker would do that!"
"On the contrary, I only looked away for a moment, and it was already 17-0!
This score is too exaggerated. Can't you just ease up a little... What, do you guys not want to attend Charms class anymore?"
"I wasn't paying attention either..." Kyle said with a bitter expression, "It's mainly because it was too easy. By the time I realized it, the match was already over."
They looked at each other and sighed simultaneously.
In the following days, the atmosphere among the Ravenclaws reached an all-time low. Originally, their relationship with Hufflepuff was quite good, but now everything had changed.
Although there were no physical fights, the relationship between the two houses was extremely stiff.
Even when Hufflepuff's young wizards took the initiative to greet them, they acted as if they hadn't heard and turned away.
In this atmosphere, Kyle and Cedric had been avoiding Qiu for the past few days, feeling too embarrassed to talk to her.
However, Qiu herself didn't seem to mind too much, and the little emotions she had gradually dissipated as the match ended.
In her opinion, Hufflepuff's victory was fair and square, and it was their own lack of strength that led to their defeat.
After a Transfiguration class, Qiu watched Kyle, who was about to sprint out of the classroom, and called out in exasperation, "Hey, Kyle!"
"Um..."
Kyle immediately froze in place, turning stiffly, as if he had just noticed her, "It's Qiu... Cough, I didn't realize you were here just now."
Qiu was amused by his poor excuse, shaking her head and sighing, "I forgot to take notes during class. Can I borrow yours to copy?"
"Of course, go ahead."
Kyle quickly took out a black notebook and handed it to her.
"Feel free to look; you can return it to me whenever you want... Um, you don't have to return it either."
"Thank you." Qiu took the notebook.
Kyle smiled awkwardly, "You're welcome, you're welcome..."
After Kyle left, Qiu casually slipped the notebook into the back of her textbook.
As a Ravenclaw, she certainly wouldn't forget to take notes. She was just making an excuse to save Kyle and Cedric from constantly thinking about unnecessary things and acting like they were avoiding a mysterious person.
Seeing Kyle's visibly relaxed expression, Qiu rolled her eyes and sighed, "Tsk, foolish boys.
"Conna, sitting next to her, nodded in agreement.
...
On the other side, Kyle was having lunch in the Great Hall with Cedric, telling him about what had just happened. After that, he left the castle and headed towards the Forbidden Forest.
Dumbledore had successfully cured Fluffy the previous day.
Kyle had also been to the Forbidden Zone to check on Hagrid.
As soon as Kyle entered, Fluffy excitedly ran over to him, its three heads vying for attention. It showed no signs of the torment it had just endured, seemingly carefree...
Perhaps this was the advantage of having a lower intelligence.
Kyle wanted to see how Hagrid was doing.
After all, while Fluffy was being treated, Hagrid had sat at the entrance to the Forbidden Zone every day, not allowing anyone to approach, and he had barely eaten.
The food Kyle had brought these days was left untouched.
Kyle estimated that if Dumbledore had been any slower, Fluffy's hallucinations might have become reality.
When Kyle arrived at the hut, Hagrid was stirring something in a pot, looking a lot thinner but in good spirits.

'Kyle, you're here!' Hagrid greeted him warmly.
'I just finished class and thought I'd drop by to see how you're doing,' Kyle smiled and asked, 'Are you making lunch?'
As he spoke, he leaned over to take a look at the pot.
But immediately, Kyle regretted it.
The pot contained a very peculiar-looking soup, with a brown base and hints of red and purple.
Occasionally, bubbles rose to the surface of the soup, and as Kyle leaned in, he caught a whiff of a strong, pungent odor.
'Hagrid, what are you making... a potion?' Kyle asked suspiciously.
He had only seen liquids of this color and consistency in Potions class.
Or more precisely, in Michael's cauldron.
'A potion? Of course not, I wouldn't brew something like that.' Hagrid shook his head. 'This is for Fluffy. It has dragon blood, dragon liver... all his favorite foods.
Poor little guy must have been terrified these past few days. He needs a good meal to recover.'
Hearing that it was for Fluffy, Kyle didn't say anything more.
Considering Fluffy's taste preferences, this failed potion, or rather, stew, was indeed a suitable meal for the three-headed dog.
Hagrid stirred the pot with a large spoon, then brought out rock cakes and tea from the hut and placed them in front of Kyle.
'Fluffy is fine. He's as lively as ever, and there's nothing better than that.'
Hagrid wiped the corner of his eye. 'Poor little guy. If I find out who did this to him with Dark Magic, I'll make sure they pay!'
As he spoke, Hagrid, crushed the rock cake in his hand, causing crumbs to fly onto the pot, making a jingling sound.
Kyle chuckled, thinking that perhaps only Hagrid would call a three-headed dog, standing over ten feet tall, a 'little guy.'
Ignoring Hagrid's colorful descriptions, Kyle asked curiously, 'Has Professor Dumbledore found out who did it yet?'
'No.'
Hagrid sighed. 'But he will. Nothing at Hogwarts can stay hidden from Dumbledore, or he wouldn't have kept the Philosopher's Stone in... oh, I shouldn't have told you that.'
