She knew that she was inferior to Kyle in many places. For example, on the train, Kyle defeated Malfoy's group lightly, which she couldn't do.
Also, on Halloween, the giant monster that scared her so much that she couldn't move was dealt with by Kyle in just a few seconds.
Finally, there were those wonderful Quidditch props... let alone the one worth a hundred Galleons, she couldn't even make the ordinary ones to sell to other people.
Or they can be made, but they look very rough and are far less refined than theirs.
All that would have been fine, except for the exam, when it came to Hermione's stubbornness, she didn't want to admit defeat.
Meanwhile, in the Hufflepuff common room.
"Kyle, the test is coming up soon, are you sure you don't need to review?"
"No need." Kyle, who was playing with Sniff, said without looking up, "It's not OWLs, it's just a final exam. You can pass it by just writing whatever you want. Why spend time reviewing?"
"Why, did I disturb you?"
"No, not really." Kanna shook her head and said, "I'm just a little curious. What have you been busy with recently? You don't even have time to eat."
"I just didn't go to the Great Hall." Kyle said, "We're going to play against Slytherin soon. Just in case, I think it's safer to eat here."
The last Quidditch match will be held in two days. I don’t know what Madam Hooch was thinking. She actually scheduled the last match a week before the exam, and Professor McGonagall agreed.
The Hufflepuff and Slytherin matches were played first, while the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor matches were scheduled after the exams.
"Slytherin, who has lost two games in a row, has begun to do everything possible to win."
Kyle shook his head and sighed: "Harris was still lying in the school hospital because he ate a piece of chocolate given by a Slytherin girl a few days ago."
"How could these people be like this..." Kang Na frowned, and said angrily, "So you don't go to the auditorium for dinner, because you are worried that they will poison you too?"
"No." Kyle shook his head and said, "Slytherin's tricks are too crude, they can only fool honest people like Cedric and Harris.
My concern is that Snape has poisoned me."
"What are you talking about..." Connor punched Kyle angrily: "Professor Snape would never do that."
"Okay, I was wrong..." Kyle rubbed his sore arm and quickly changed his words: "It has nothing to do with Professor Snape. I just wanted to be on the safe side."
Kanna looked at his movements, her face suddenly turned red, and she whispered, "Don't worry, we will definitely win the championship."
Kyle smiled and said nothing.
The championship was certain. As the only team to win two games in a row, Hufflepuff was nearly four hundred points higher than the second place.
With such a high score, it would be difficult for them to lose even if they wanted to.
Therefore, what Kyle cares about is not winning or losing, but their actions are really hard to accept.
Besides, Kyle didn't want to be like Harris, who was dragged into the school hospital by a large group of people because of vomiting and diarrhea. That would be too terrible.
Harris is fine, he will be in seventh grade next year and will graduate in one year.
But he still has to stay in the castle for five years, and if he really dies, it will be the end of him.
So no matter what, you definitely can't go to the auditorium before the game.
……
In this way, two days later, the last Quidditch match finally began.
This game is like a ray of light, illuminating the boring review life of the little wizards.
On the day of the game, Harry and Ron got up early, put the exams behind them, and ran excitedly to the Quidditch field.
Although Hermione complained that they shouldn't be distracted by watching the game at this time, she still went with them.
"Forget the test Hermione…at least for today."
In the stands, Ron laughed and said to Hermione, "This is the last game of the year. Look, the Hufflepuff team is here."
When Harris walked out of the tunnel and appeared on the court, a wave of cheers suddenly sounded around him.
He was just discharged from the hospital yesterday and his face was still a little pale, but his eyes were determined.
In the stands, Harry looked at the Hufflepuff players with some complicated feelings.
Although he really wanted to see Slytherin fail, Hufflepuff was already 390 points higher than Gryffindor, and if they won today's game, this number would definitely continue to increase.
At least four hundred points... Can they really catch up?
With his old enemy on one side and the champion on the other, it was hard for Harry to choose who to support.
"Wait..." At this time, Hermione suddenly exclaimed: "Kyle didn't come to participate in the competition!"
Harry was stunned and quickly looked at the players again.
Hermione was right, Kyle was indeed not there, and Hufflepuff had a substitute Chaser this time.
"He must be studying for the exam..." Hermione said in annoyance, "I really shouldn't have come!"
……
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 218 Where is my huge fire dragon?
In fact, Hermione still didn't know Kyle well enough.
Not to mention it was just an insignificant final exam, even if there were OWLs tomorrow, he would not miss Quidditch.
The reason why he didn't come to participate in the competition this time was entirely because he received something special.
Five minutes ago, an owl suddenly broke into the locker room and threw a chipped teacup in front of Kyle.
"Kyle, someone sent you garbage!" After seeing the teacup, goalkeeper Ferro said with an unpleasant expression, "The game is about to start. Who did this? Could it be the Slytherins again?"
Kyle didn't say anything, just stared at the teacup.
He recognized it at a glance. It was Hagrid's thing. He had once advised Hagrid to throw it away, so he had a very deep impression of it.
"Sorry Captain, I have something to do and may not be able to participate in the next game."
Without any hesitation, Kyle rushed out of the locker room on his broom without even taking off his team uniform.
Everyone stood there in confusion, and when they came to their senses, Kyle was gone.
"Um... This is the first time I've seen Kyle so serious." Ferro smacked his lips and said, "Do you think he knows who sent the item and is going to settle the score with the other party?"
"Probably not..." Cedric shook his head.
Rather than being angry, Kyle looked more like he was worried about something.
"But what about the game?" batsman Will said, "We are about to go on the field."
"It doesn't matter. There's still time to change players. I'll go find Madam Hooch right away." Harris left the locker room without looking back.
At the same time, Kyle left the locker room and rode his broom across the field quickly to Hagrid's cabin.
As soon as Kyle got off the broom, he heard a heavy and rapid breathing.
In the room, Hagrid was holding Norbert tightly, covering his mouth and wings desperately.
But at this time, Norbert had grown to be almost as big as the three-headed dog, and was incredibly strong. Even Hagrid had a hard time controlling him.
Blue spots appeared on his arms and his whole face turned red.
Kyle rushed forward, coaxed and deceived Norbert, and took out all the dried fish, only then did he barely calm the irritable Norbert.
"Huh...thanks for coming..." Hagrid sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
"What kind of game are you guys playing?" Kyle frowned and said, "If I had come a little later, this house would have been destroyed by you."
"It's all my fault..." Hagrid lowered his head and whispered, "Norbert has become more and more irritable recently. Today he insisted on going out. I tried to stop him and he started to lose his temper."
A few minutes later, Kyle roughly understood what happened.
To put it simply, Norbert is no longer as obedient as he was when he was just hatched. He has become more and more active, and as his body grows rapidly, Hagrid's hut has gradually become a "cage" in his eyes.
It desperately wanted to leave here and go to a wider place, and then it broke out today. Of course Hagrid didn't dare to let it go out, so he could only try his best to stop it.
Kyle could understand that anyone would feel uncomfortable being locked up in a place that was almost as big as themselves, not to mention that Norbert was a hot-tempered dragon. It was giving Hagrid a lot of face that he had been able to endure until now.
"You should have written to me earlier!" Kyle rubbed his forehead.
Because he was busy making a new batch of test-passing charms, and also because of Quidditch matters, he hadn't been here much recently.
As a result, Hagrid came up with such a big surprise.
Sure enough, he shouldn't have believed Hagrid's promise. He said he would write to him when Norbert grew as big as Fang, but now it is almost a circle bigger than Fluffy!
Hagrid also realized the seriousness of the matter, and said reluctantly: "You can take it away tomorrow."
"Don't do it tomorrow, do it now." Kyle said, "It could erupt again at any time, and it would be even more troublesome then."
"Now?" Hagrid frowned and said, "But how are you going to transport it out? The Quidditch field is just opposite. If Norbert leaves the house, many people will definitely see it... Oh, by the way, we can put it in a box. You wait here for me!"
Hagrid stood up and ran out of the house.
After he left, Kyle came to Norbert, took out a box from the deformed lizard skin bag, opened it and put it on the ground.
"Come in... Although it's a bit shabby, it's definitely much better than here."
Norbert turned his wings, and although he didn't quite understand, he still put his head into the box out of trust in Kyle.
The next second, Norbert found himself in a very wide open space.
After Kyle's hard work during this period, coupled with his increasingly skilled traceless extension spell, the space in the box can now accommodate almost two Hogwarts schools... not the castle, but the entire school except the Forbidden Forest.
Although it is still far from the ultimate goal, I can barely raise a fire dragon.
Afterwards, Kyle reminded Norbert again, asking him to be careful and not to bully the trolls and the plants.
Norbert was still soaring in the sky, and he blew out a puff of dragon flame perfunctorily, which was considered as his agreement.
When Kyle came out of the box, Hagrid just came back.
He was holding a large and long wooden box in his hand, and Yaya was following behind him, screaming.
Because Hagrid had just taken his favorite stuffed animal away and he wanted it back.
"Kyle, what do you think of this box? It can definitely hold Norbert... Um, where is Norbert?"
Hagrid suddenly noticed that Kyle was the only one in the room, and Norbert, who had been in the corner, was gone.
"It, it won't fly away..."
