A large number of roosters that had been fed with stimulant potions poured out like fountains.
Although Kyle reacted and closed the box quickly, it was too late. More than half of the more than 100 roosters had escaped.
Now, the corridor suddenly became lively.
The screams and crowing of roosters in the library were one after another, like a concert.
"Merlin's beard, why is he still awake in the middle of the night and making trouble in the library!"
Kyle slapped his forehead and cursed in his heart.
A little wizard like this who blatantly violates school rules should be deducted 100 points directly!
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps downstairs.
It was Filch, holding a dim oil lamp and walking towards this side quickly.
"Damn it!"
Kyle frowned. He didn't bring the invisibility cloak this time. Although the Disillusionment Charm was useful, it would leave a shadow and he would be exposed as long as he was illuminated by the oil lamp.
Seeing that Filch was about to go upstairs, Kyle turned around and ran upstairs without hesitation.
He remembered that there was a secret passage behind a set of armor on the fourth floor, which led directly to the underground classroom corridor.
"Come out, I see you!"
Behind him, Filch's angry voice sounded extremely harsh even among the noisy crowing.
When Kyle ran to the fourth floor, he was bumped by something for no apparent reason. He turned around but saw nothing...
There was no one around.
"Potter?"
Kyle frowned. He probably guessed who the unlucky person was in the library before.
Just for a moment, he suddenly felt a soft touch like water on his hand.
Kyle was all too familiar with that feeling, it was the invisibility cloak.
"It can't be such a coincidence..." Kyle couldn't help but quicken his pace. Then, he saw Snape not far away, and Professor McGonagall in pajamas.
Because of the accident just now, the castle was now filled with loud crowing sounds, and all the professors were alarmed.
Professor McGonagall and Snape were just the first to arrive.
Kyle clung tightly to the wall, not daring to move. He absolutely could not be discovered at this time, otherwise he would die a miserable death!
"What happened, Severus?"
"Maybe someone thinks Christmas is too boring and wants to have some fun..." Snape said coldly, "It would be fun to keep everyone awake. No matter who it is, I will deduct 100 points from him!"
"Two professors..."
At this time, Filch also came here. While he was still on the stairs, he shouted, "Someone was in the library just now, in the restricted section. I found a broken oil lamp there!"
"Wandering around at night, going to the restricted books section, causing chaos and waking everyone up... 200 points deducted, and you'll be put in detention for a month!" Professor McGonagall was obviously also very angry.
"Restricted Books Area?" Snape sneered, "Then he can't go far. We will definitely catch him!"
"Leave the arrest to Argus."
Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "Severus, before that, we have to solve the current trouble first, otherwise the students may not be able to sleep all night.
Oh my god, how on earth did they get into the castle! "
Kyle noticed that the voices were getting closer and closer. He was sure that his Disillusionment Spell would not be hidden from the two professors. As long as they turned a corner, they would immediately discover him.
He took a deep breath and began to step back, trying not to make any noise.
There was a door on the right that opened a crack. Kyle's eyes lit up and he didn't care about anything else. He squeezed in sideways.
Almost at the same time, Professor McGonagall and Snape appeared in the corridor where he was just now.
"Students nowadays are really going too far!"
"Minerva, I think we should check the dorms to see who's not here tonight!"

Chapter 193 Doing good deeds without leaving a name
Kyle leaned against the wall, listening to the sound of footsteps outside gradually going away.
"Hiss..." A sound of breathing came from not far away.
Harry drew back the Invisibility Cloak and suddenly appeared in the room as if by magic.
But he didn't notice that there was another person in the room. After lifting the invisibility cloak, he began to look around the room.
He found a very impressive mirror here, and walked over to it curiously, as if he wanted to take a look at his current image.
Soon, when Harry walked in front of the mirror, he could no longer move.
Not far away, Kyle, who witnessed the whole process, rubbed his forehead.
He had seen that mirror in the principal's office last year; it was the Mirror of Erised.
Kyle also knew that the Mirror of Erised was undoubtedly a huge temptation to Harry, but now was really not the time to look in the mirror.
Snape just said he was going to check the dormitories. Did he forget so quickly?
Forget it, let’s remind you.
When Kyle left the room, he intentionally made a loud noise and threw a Nat in the past.
As a Chaser, Kyle performed stably again this time. Nat drew an arc in the air and hit Harry's forehead accurately.
Hopefully this will wake him up.
The professor was no longer visible on the fourth floor. After leaving the room, Kyle quickly found the armor and followed the secret passage to the underground classroom.
At this time, there were several people standing in the kitchen corridor. They were all woken up and wanted to see what happened, but they didn't dare to leave the corridor.
With the help of the Disillusionment Charm, Kyle quietly blended into the crowd, and then when Professor Sprout came over, he returned to the common room with them.
"Kyle, when did you go out too?"
In the lounge, Kanna hugged a pillow and asked sleepily, "What happened outside?"
"I don't know." Kyle shook his head calmly and said, "I went out after being woken up, but it was dark outside and I didn't see anyone."
Kanna nodded dazedly, not knowing if she was listening or not.
The next day, the whole Hogwarts was discussing what happened last night, and during breakfast, almost half of the people yawned from time to time.
"It was so thrilling. Professor McGonagall almost found out that you were not in the dormitory last night." Ron poked at a fried egg on the plate and said sleepily, "How on earth did you do it..."
"I've told you many times, Ron, I didn't do that!" Harry said unhappily, "I just went to the library!"
"But……"
"It was someone else!" Harry thought for a moment and said, "There must have been another person there at the time. Remember the mirror I told you about?
I was so engrossed in watching it at the time that the man hit me.
If it weren't for him, I would have been discovered by Professor McGonagall."
"So he's quite nice." Ron said in a deep voice, "He can just ignore you. Then, whether it's deductions or detention, everything will fall on you, and he will be completely safe."
"Yes, that's what happened, but who is that person..."
Harry raised his head, glanced around the hall and said, "Ron, do you think there is anyone who has an invisibility cloak like me?"
He hadn't noticed anyone else was around yesterday, just as if Filch couldn't see him at the time.
And in Harry's opinion, the only thing that can do this is the Invisibility Cloak.
"I think should not be……"
Ron thought about it, shook his head and said, "Invisibility cloak is a rare item, even among wizards. But... maybe Malfoy has it."
He thought again about the toy Malfoy bought for a hundred Galleons before Christmas.If he wants to buy an invisibility cloak, it doesn't seem to be difficult.
"Yeah, you're right." Harry guessed what Ron was thinking and shrugged, "It's just that Malfoy went home and wasn't in school yesterday."
"Yeah, what a shame..." Ron sighed.
After a moment's silence, Harry thought of the mirror again, and the scene he saw in the mirror at that time involuntarily emerged in his mind.
Who are those two people... Could they be his parents?
The time was too short for Harry to be sure, so he decided to go again tonight.
Neither of the two people in silence noticed that their conversation was heard clearly by Fred and George next to them.
"Did you hear that, George? Invisibility Cloak..." Fred raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, Fred." George lowered his voice and smiled, "There are not many people in Hogwarts who have an Invisibility Cloak, and our friend happens to be one of them."
"Fortunately, we didn't go back home this Christmas, otherwise we would have missed such a wonderful show."
"Kyle is really worthy of you. Asking everyone to get up five hours earlier... This is a great idea!"
Fred poked his head in the direction of Hufflepuff and asked in confusion, "But why hasn't Kyle come to the Great Hall yet? I'm waiting to ask him about the details."
"I guess he hasn't woken up yet." George thought for a moment and said, "The Hufflepuff common room is right next to the kitchen. We can eat whenever we want."
"How convenient..." Fred exclaimed, "It would be great if the Gryffindor common room could be moved there as well."
"Yeah... this way we don't have to run downstairs every night."
In the guest of honor table, the professors were also discussing this matter. They conducted a surprise inspection of the dormitories of every college last night, but no students were absent.
"We must have gone too late, and he ran back early!"
Snape glanced at Harry and said slowly, "I suggest asking the Fat Lady if any little wizard sneaked out in the middle of the night last night."
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and gave him a thoughtful look.
"Severus, we never ask the Fat Lady about students." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "And it's not fair to the other three colleges.
But you could try asking the other portraits in the corridor."
