The light in Harry and Ron's eyes suddenly disappeared.
"So Kyle is lying?" Harry asked a little disappointed.
"Well... that's not the case, because Kyle said more than once last year that the thing is just a symbol and has no other function."
Hagrid frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, “But the strange thing is that even so, there are still many people who think that thing is actually useful.
I've heard from a student before that his grades in Charms class were not ideal, but he unexpectedly got an A (pass) in the final exam. "
Hearing this, Harry and Ron's eyes lit up again, only Hermione frowned, and no one knew what she was thinking.
The cabin suddenly fell into silence, with only the sound of Hagrid squatting by the fireplace sawing wood... er, singing a lullaby.
If Professor Flitwick were here, he would definitely tell everyone that the reason why the student got an A had nothing to do with the amulet, but was entirely the result of his hard work.
Unfortunately, Professor Flitwick is not here. He is probably still drinking at the Three Broomsticks.
On the way back to the castle, Harry and Ron were still discussing what had just happened with great interest.
"It can help people pass exams... My God, that thing is even more powerful than the Philosopher's Stone." Harry said seriously, "No matter how much it costs, I must buy one!"
"Yeah... I want to buy it too." Ron's mood suddenly became a little depressed. He touched the few copper coins in his pocket and whispered, "I hope it's not too expensive."
"I can... uh, lend it to you, or you can ask Fred and George."
Harry originally wanted to say that he could buy one for him, but soon he remembered that Ron was a little sensitive on the issue of Garen, so he quickly changed the subject and said:
“I remember they were involved in the map at the beginning of the school year, and maybe it will be the same this time.
They are your brothers, they will definitely give you a very favorable price."
"Yes, you are right. How could I have forgotten this..." Ron raised his head suddenly and said excitedly, "They have always had a good relationship with Kyle. They will definitely not let their brother fail the exam!"
"Humph!"
At this moment, Hermione suddenly bumped into Ron and then walked quickly past them.
The laughter of both of them stopped abruptly.

Chapter 213 Weasley's Experience
After returning to the castle, Kyle threw the pear branches he had picked up into the common room and went back into the box to work.
In order to save time, Kyle even finished all the homework in just two days, and handed over the work of processing the pear tree branches to Cedric and others.
Anyway, they did it once last year and are very familiar with the process, so there will definitely be no problem.
After explaining everything, Kyle seemed to have disappeared and didn't even go to the auditorium during meal times.
No one could find him, and no one knew where he was. He would only show up briefly in the common room before curfew every day, and then disappear again early the next morning.
This continued until school started.
During breakfast that day, Cedric looked at the sleepy Kyle and asked curiously, "Where have you been these days? Why can't I find you in the entire castle?"
"Eighth floor..."
Kyle yawned and said, "There is a special room in the corridor over there, just opposite the troll tapestry. It can be turned into any room you need, and you don't have to worry about being discovered by others."
“I’ve been there for the past few days.”
"There is such a magical place in the castle?" Kanna asked in surprise.
"This is Hogwarts..."
Cedric thought for a moment and said, “I have heard that there is a mysterious room on the eighth floor. It is unpredictable. Some people see a luxurious bedroom when they enter, while others see a storage room full of garbage... Everyone is different.
And I remember Fred and George also said that they had hidden in a broom closet on the eighth floor to avoid Filch, but when they went to look for it again, the place was gone.
Could that broom closet be the room you are talking about?"
"Yes, the Room of Requirement."
"They were trying to hide so the room became a broom closet, but if you wanted to practice magic it would be a big empty classroom," Kyle said, eating a scone.
"This is amazing..." Cedric said with shining eyes, "Can I go and take a look? Can it be turned into a Quidditch training ground, where I can practice catching the Golden Snitch?"
"I want to go too." Kanna said quickly, "I've always wanted to find a place where no one would disturb me to practice potions."
"It's all possible. Just silently recite what you want in your mind and walk back and forth in the corridor three times, and then you will see the door."
Kyle thought about it and reminded, "But...if someone is in there, that place can't be used, unless you enter the same room."
Cedric's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he simply stopped eating, stood up and ran to the eighth floor.
"Aren't you going?" Kyle asked Kanna who was drinking pumpkin juice.
"Didn't you say that only one person can use that place?" Kanna shook her head and said, "Let him go first. I can use those empty classrooms. There's no rush."
"correct……"
At this moment, Connor suddenly remembered something and continued, "A few days ago, a Gryffindor freshman came to see you many times."
"Gryffindor?" Kyle frowned.
The first thing he thought of was the trio. After all, apart from the three of them, he didn't know any other Gryffindor freshmen.
"Well, a girl named Hermione Granger." Connor raised her head and said slowly, "And she looked quite angry... Did you also tell her that you would use the Killing Curse to sort her?"
"Of course not. As soon as I arrived at the castle I went to Professor Sprout's office. I didn't see the new students at all."
"Besides..." Kyle glanced at Connor and muttered softly, "Do you think everyone is like you, stupid and believing everything you say..."
Before he could finish his words, a baked potato flew over.
Kyle caught the "hidden weapon" thrown by Kanna, peeled off the skin and took a bite.
"So, Hermione didn't tell me what she wanted from me?"
"No." Connor glared at him and said angrily, "But Fred and George said that she is very opposed to the talisman you made to pass every exam. I think she came to you for this matter before."
"Oh..." Kyle nodded in realization.
This was most likely Hagrid's mistake again. Given Hermione's current personality, it would be normal for her to object.
But Kyle didn't care. After all, he didn't care about Gryffindor. It was Fred and George who should be worried.
After breakfast, the two went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom together.
After the start of this school year, Professor Quirrell looked uglier than before. There was no color on his face, and it was terribly pale.
Many people gradually came to believe that he was indeed cursed by the resurrected zombies and no longer laughed at his stuttering. These days, when they met Professor Quirrell on the road, they would give him an encouraging smile.
Even Fred and George.
One day when they were gathering in the Room of Requirement, Fred exclaimed: "He dared to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor even though he was cursed by a resurrected zombie. Quirrell is the real Gryffindor."
"His courage is thicker than that ridiculous scarf."
"And the smell of garlic surrounds me all year long..." Qiu shuddered and said, "If it were me, I would have gone crazy a long time ago."
Cedric glanced at the twins and smiled, "I remember you threw snowballs at him back then."
"We feel very guilty about this..." George said solemnly, "If Professor Quirrell is still alive after the school year ends, we will apologize to him for this."
"Why do we have to wait until the end of the school year..." Qiu asked puzzledly: "Can't we do it now?"
"What if he has another identity?" Fred shook his hand. "Don't forget that he is the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. No one can guarantee that he will be okay before the end of the school year."
"Just like Oren last year..."
George glanced at Kyle and said faintly, "What a good professor. He is humorous in class and easy-going after class. I didn't expect that all of this was just a fake."
"We believed in him so much in the beginning that we even turned against Ravenclaw in order to protect his image as a professor..."
"But it's all fake, he broke our hearts..."
Fred and George became sadder and sadder as they talked, and they were almost about to hug each other and cry.
Kyle smiled and shook his head. He thought these two people simply liked that Oren didn't collect homework.
Even though Quirrell was wobbly when he walked and looked like he might fall at any time, he did not relax his requirements for homework and checked it very strictly.
It cannot be less than two feet, even the words cannot be written too big.

Chapter 214 Porter's Law
The dragon eggs hatched much faster than Kyle expected. Just a few days after the Easter holiday, he received a letter from Hagrid.
There were only four words written on it: "Almost hatching."
The handwriting was more sloppy and crooked than ever before. Kyle was sure that Hagrid's eyes had never left the dragon egg even when he was writing this note.
If he had just glanced at the parchment, the words wouldn't have been so crooked.
But it is understandable. After all, raising a dragon has always been Hagrid's wish, and now is the critical moment for the dragon eggs to hatch. It is not easy for him to remember to write a letter to himself.
Kyle hurriedly ate a few bites of grilled sausages and hurried to Hagrid's hut.
"You've come just in time. It's going to come out soon."
Hagrid opened the door and said excitedly, "I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep all night last night."
The egg had left the fireplace and was now sitting on the table, shaking occasionally.
But to Kyle's disappointment, he did not see any cracks on the dragon egg.
“Judging from the frequency of its shaking, it will probably take another two hours for it to hatch.” Kyle sighed.
The dragon eggs hatched around ten o'clock in the morning, and he should still be taking the Transfiguration class on the third floor of the castle at that time.
If only it could be a day earlier, as yesterday morning was the Herbology class, and the third greenhouse they were going to was right next to the nearby field, so he could easily take a look during the break.
But not today.
After the Transfiguration class was Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Kyle didn't want to be late if possible.
