"Well, that's settled. I'll let Qiu come straight to you. We'll meet in the auditorium this afternoon." Kyle gave Cedric a meaningful look, then turned and walked into his dormitory.
Cedric stood there without moving. He looked at Kyle's back as he left, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Qiu is in charge of publicity, he is in charge of providing maps... Where is Kyle?
Apart from these two things, there doesn't seem to be anything else to do.
And what Kyle just said, "I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway", he couldn't be referring to himself!
Cedric fell into deep thought...
On the other side, Kyle had a good nap after returning to the dormitory, and arrived at the door of the Transfiguration classroom on time before the afternoon class.
In order to save his own and Hufflepuff's face and prevent the scene that Qiu saw from happening again, he also deliberately dragged Ryan along.
Even though the other party repeatedly stated that he would not get lost again after he had a map.
This time, the Transfiguration class was still held with Ravenclaw. Since we arrived early, there were only a few little wizards sitting in the classroom.
Kyle didn't even need to look to know that they were definitely not Hufflepuffs.
In addition, there was a very beautiful tabby cat squatting on the table in the front.
Kyle subconsciously reached into his robe pocket and touched the bag of dried fish he had prepared long ago.
Feeding Professor Meowg dried fish is the achievement he has always wanted to unlock, and he even prepared the dried fish in advance.
This is just like moving the trash can in Diagon Alley. Although there is no reward, the feeling is really good, and there is also an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
The trash can can be moved at any time, but you only have one chance to feed Professor Meow.
Because Professor McGonagall would only show his Animagus in the first Transfiguration class for freshmen. And only at this time could Kyle rely on his freshman status to get away with it smoothly.
After all, he was just an ignorant little wizard, how could he know that Professor McGonagall could also turn into a cat.
As for the dried fish that she carried with her...it was prepared for Mrs. Loris, to thank her for helping her find the school hospital yesterday.
……
Everything is so perfect, it just lacks the final boost.
There are too few people in the classroom now. If I go over now, it will be too obvious and Professor McGonagall will easily see through me. I should wait a little longer.
In order to seize this only opportunity, Kyle was very patient. He let Ryan enter the classroom first, and he found a reason to stay at the door.
Coincidentally, Qiu appeared at the corner of the corridor at this time, and waved over here and said: "Kyle, I knew you were here."
Seeing this, Ryan didn't think much about it. He said, "I'll save a seat for you" and went into the classroom.
"Kyle, you don't know, things are going even better than I thought." Qiu ran up to Kyle, panting, and said happily, "I showed them the map I copied, and within just one hour, twelve freshmen expressed their desire to buy it."
Kyle was not surprised and replied calmly: "Not bad, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not that hard." Qiu looked Kyle up and down and continued, "Did you bring the map? I promised them that I would bring the things back after class."
"The map was taken by Cedric, the second-year boy who was with me at noon."
Kyle said helplessly, "He was worried that we couldn't guarantee the quality of the map, so he took the initiative to take the task of copying the map on my behalf. You can go directly to the auditorium to find him after class.
By the way, he is the top student in the second grade and is very good at copying spells."
"Cedric?" Qiu thought for a moment and asked, "I remember you said that he gave you the map, too."
Kyle nodded: "That's right."
"Then he is such a good man." Qiu sighed, and then she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly frowned: "If that's the case, then I can't take half, it should be divided equally among the three of us."
"If you insist, you can talk to him after class." Kyle spread his hands and said, "There will be no problem on my side, and I also said before that I would split the remaining half with him, but Cedric refused to take it, saying that he was just doing a small favor.
Anyway, I can't persuade him, maybe you can try. "
"Okay!" Qiu nodded seriously.
In her opinion, as long as one participates, he or she is a part and the profit must be shared equally.
Kyle smiled and said, "I wish you all the best then."
Qiu looked at Kyle's expression and frowned, "Why do I feel like your smile is a little... weird?"
"Really? Maybe I'm looking forward to the Transfiguration class." Kyle said seriously, "Let's not talk about this. Let's go to the classroom first. It will be too unfair if we are late."

Chapter 37 The aftermath
When a group of Ravenclaw witches walked into the Transfiguration classroom, Kyle quickly followed them and walked towards the podium with them. Everything seemed so natural.
By the time they reached the second row, there was only one little witch left in front of Kyle.
And it is only one step away from the podium.
Kyle held the bag of dried fish tightly in his pocket. Although he was extremely nervous, he appeared to be calm on the surface.
But just when Kyle was about to take out the dried fish and unlock the achievement, he suddenly discovered that the little Ravenclaw witch in front of him seemed to have the same idea as him.
Because he was closer to the front, Kyle could even see a piece of green thing being taken out of her pocket little by little.
That is... a cat toy? ?
"It's over, someone intercepted us!"
Kyle's eyes went dark and his whole body went numb.
There is no need to think about it. Once the little witch takes out the cat toy, Professor Mewg will definitely turn back into Professor McGonagall.
The plan he had thought about for so long had completely failed!
"Damn it, I made you think so much, it would have been better to just go for it right from the start!"
Kyle pounded his legs in frustration, wishing he could use the time converter to go back five minutes and give himself a hard slap.
But now that things had come to this, there was no point in saying anything. Kyle could only sigh, move to the left, and sit in the first row.
It was as if he had always wanted to be here.
At the same time, the little witch that Kyle hated so much had come to the podium, and her hands were completely out of her pockets.
But at this moment, the tabby cat on the podium suddenly laughed, tapped the table with its hind legs, and in the blink of an eye it turned back into Professor McGonagall.
"Miss Leona, being compassionate is a good thing, but as a wizard, it is obviously more important to always maintain a keen insight."
Professor McGonagall appeared next to the freshman named Leona. While speaking, she patted her shoulder lightly and put her hand holding the cat toy back into her pocket.
"Mai, Mai, Mai...Professor G." The little witch was obviously very frightened and her voice began to tremble.
"It's me. If you look closely, you'll find that the patterns around the cat's eyes are exactly the same as the square glasses I wear." Professor McGonagall said calmly, "Now, could you please go back to your seat? We are about to start class."
There were no points deducted and no severe reprimand, because in Professor McGonagall's view, Leona's behavior was no more surprising than a freshman being late.
She had worked at Hogwarts for half her life, and the tradition of displaying Animagus in the first class had lasted for seven or eight years. During this period, she had seen too many new students like Leona.
Some people play with cats, some feed cats, some stroke cats...there are people doing all kinds of things.
Of course, Professor McGonagall never let them succeed.
Without some real skills, how could this tradition last so long? Did he really buy her title as a contemporary master of transfiguration?
Not to mention that cats' reaction speed is much faster than that of wizards. If she could fall into the hands of these freshmen, she would have no face to stay in Hogwarts and might as well resign.
After Leona was helped back by her Ravenclaw classmates, Professor McGonagall skillfully waved her wand and used a simple healing spell to help her calm down.
"Calm your mind and calm your nerves."
The spell was very effective. Leona stopped shaking immediately and her originally pale face became much rosier.
"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, I didn't know it was you."
"It won't happen again."
Professor McGonagall turned around and went back to the podium, but when she passed the first row, she glanced at Kyle intentionally or unintentionally.
She had suspected that Kyle had the same idea as Leona, but she soon noticed that Kyle did not show that incredible look after she ended her Animagus transformation.
It seemed that Kyle had recognized her Animagus early on, and he probably just wanted to sit in the front row.
Sure enough, she shouldn't have believed Weasley's words. Kyle was indeed a smart and studious boy.
……
After returning to the podium, Professor McGonagall looked at the little wizards below and said seriously: "Transfiguration is the most complicated and dangerous magic you have learned in Hogwarts.
Anyone who dares to act up in my class will be asked to leave and never be allowed to come back. I have warned you."
As soon as Professor McGonagall opened her mouth, the whole place fell silent. At the same time, Kyle's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
I escaped a disaster, thanks to Leona. If it weren't for her, I would have been the one who died in public.
Kyle decided to talk to Qiu after class and tell her that he would pay for one regardless of whether Leona wanted to buy a map or not.
We can't let good people feel disappointed.
The joy of surviving the disaster made Kyle take notes more easily, and the boring Gamp's Basic Transformation Laws sounded a lot more pleasant.
However, unlike him, Kanna, who was also sitting in the first row, felt very uncomfortable at this moment.
Connor couldn't understand why she met Kyle even though she was sitting in the first row. Wasn't the freshman who came with him sitting in the last row?
Is it just along the way?
But that wasn't right. She clearly remembered that they were roommates. If she hadn't known this news, with her personality, she would never have sat in the front row.
But what is the situation now?
She sat in the front row, with Kyle next to her...worst and worse together?
Connor was so confused that she mechanically recorded Professor McGonagall's words and didn't even realize that she had already written in series.
On the podium, Professor McGonagall was still talking about the precautions of Transfiguration and did not notice that the two little wizards under her nose were not quite normal.
"Okay, that's all the basic Gamp Transfiguration Laws. Everyone must remember them. They are the foundation of Transfiguration."
On the podium, Professor McGonagall had finished saying everything that needed to be remembered. She looked at everyone and reminded them again:
"Remember, Transfiguration is a rigorous discipline. You must concentrate when waving your wand, like this..."
Professor McGonagall waved her wand and turned the podium into a pig.
