Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 652 Referee

Umbridge's search mission began that day.

 At eight-thirty in the evening, Kyle separated Malfoy and Crabbe and came to the eighth floor.

As soon as he left the stairs, a sneaky head appeared from behind a tapestry on the eighth floor.

 “How…” Fred asked quietly.

“Don’t worry, I’m the only one on the eighth floor.” Kyle made a gesture.

 Fred then walked out with relief, "Tell me about the current situation."

"Malfoy and Crabbe are on the sixth floor, Montague is on the fifth floor, and there are people on the third and second floors..." Kyle said, "I suggest you don't take the stairs, or wait for a while."

"No, there will be a curfew soon, and getting caught will be even more troublesome." George thought for a while and asked, "How about taking the direction of the tower. I remember there is a secret passage leading directly to the first floor."

"Okay." Kyle said, "They won't be able to check that far in a short time... Remember to take the Marauder's Map."

"Don't worry." Fred nodded and retreated behind the tapestry. Kyle thought for a while, used the Disembodiment Spell on himself, and retreated to the corner of the stairs.

After a while, a door suddenly appeared on the opposite wall, and a large group of people came out one after another, all of them students who had just finished the DA party.

 Under the command of Fred, they divided into three teams with tacit understanding.

Fred led the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students in the direction of the tower, through which they would need to pass to return to their respective common rooms.

Gryffindor students don't have this problem. Their common room is on the eighth floor, just around the corner.

 After everyone left, Kyle came to the door and walked straight in.

Several people in the room heard the movement and turned their heads nervously. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw clearly that the person coming was Kyle.

"Kyle, are everything they said true?" Hermione asked immediately: "Does Umbridge really know that we are teaching ourselves Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

 “Yes.” Kyle nodded.

"But this shouldn't be the case." Hermione frowned, "We added some magic to the list. The person who wrote the name has no way of telling what is going on here. How did she know about it?"

"Except for unbreakable oaths, no other magic contract is omnipotent." Kyle said calmly: "For example, the magic restrictions between DA members are not so strict. If they don't pay attention when they chat, they may leak some secrets. .

“Maybe someone lost the fake gold coin, and the person who picked it up could also guess some general situation if they noticed the changing numbers on it.”

 “It must be Neville...” Ron blurted out: “He always loses things.”

"No, Ron." Hermione shook her head and said, "Neville has never missed a party. If he lost his gold coins, how could he know the time?"

"Maybe... someone else told him." Ron muttered softly. He still felt that Neville was more likely.

"That's right." At this moment, Harry suddenly thought of something and asked, "Kyle, how did you know that someone wanted to catch us in the castle today."

 Hermione and Ron also looked over, but only Cedric and Qiu acted calmly.

"It's very simple." Kyle said calmly, "Because the person responsible for catching you is me."

The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Harry's eyes widened, as if he saw hundreds of trolls galloping past him on broomsticks, and then he hugged Ron and danced a tap dance on the broomstick.

 Ron's current expression happened to be in line with this state... dazed, shocked, and unbelievable. He felt as if his brain was a little insufficient.

 Among the three, Hermione's performance was relatively good, but she was also shocked and speechless.

"Look, I said I am definitely not the only one like this." Cedric suddenly laughed and said: "You actually laughed at me for not being able to bear it. Now you know, everyone is the same."

When he first received the news, Cedric's performance was not much better than the three people in front of him. He even spilled the ink and had to write his Potions homework all over again. Cedric’s laughter also brought a few people back to their senses.

"You...are you here to catch us?" Ron screamed and took two steps back, "Harry, Hermione, run quickly..."

 Don't mention it, Ron is quite generous and has not forgotten his two friends at this moment, but his brain is really not very good.

Hermione looked at Kyle and Cedric who were half-smiling, and then at Ron who was still shouting. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch, and her face began to turn slightly red.

　　No, it's too embarrassing. If I had known she should have let Ron stay too... Oh, the same goes for Harry who was hesitating on the side.

 They are better suited to sit next to a warm fireplace and discuss which homework should be done first.

"Ron, can you use your brain!" Hermione couldn't help shouting: "If Kyle wants to catch us, there is no need to go to such trouble, can't we just bring Umbridge here?"

“Huh?” Ron was stunned for a moment, and then his face quickly turned red.

"Yes." Harry waved his arm, "And how could Kyle capture us? Cedric is here too."

Hermione was too lazy to pay attention to them, and turned around and said excitedly: "So, is this your plan, to fight the Weasley brothers in order to gain Umbridge's trust?"

“So be it.” Kyle said with a smile.

He looked at the time and said, "Okay, curfew is coming soon. I can't stay here for too long. You'd better go back quickly... By the way, there are people patrolling every floor at the moment. Remember not to be discovered. ”

“Don’t worry.” Cedric and Qiu looked at each other and said, “We can use the Disillusionment Curse.”

"I also brought an invisibility cloak. I will never be discovered." Harry said.

Although he, Ron, and Hermione have all grown a lot taller now, it is a bit difficult to hide them all under the invisibility cloak, but fortunately the Gryffindor common room is right next to them, and they don't need to go too far.

And Kyle is still in charge here, and the invisibility cloak is just a precaution.

"Okay." Kyle nodded, turned and left the Room of Requirement. Before stepping out of the door, he turned back again and said, "Remember to tell me the party time in advance next time."

 “No problem,” said Cedric.

Looking at the door that had closed again, Harry blinked. He felt like he had just been in a dream, and everything was a little unreal.

"Umbridge must have never imagined that Kyle was actually with us." Harry, who came back to his senses, rubbed his face and said, "I really want to see her expression after knowing the truth. It will be wonderful."

 After finishing speaking, he laughed first.

 Then Ron, Hermione, Cedric and Cho also laughed.

 It's like a Quidditch match.

There are many ways to win. Excellent players, consistent training every day, and reasonable tactics are the keys.

 But there is only one way to win, and that is for the referee to be on their side...

Kyle is the referee now.

As long as Kyle is still on the field, they don't need to worry about being discovered by Umbridge.

I have to say, this feeling is simply wonderful.
