The last course was History of Magic as usual. When Professor Binns asked them to put down their pens, it meant that the courses for this school year were officially over.
From then on, they no longer have to review, get up early or go to the library to do homework, so they can fully enjoy their holiday life.
When Kyle walked out of the classroom, the cheers in his ears never stopped.
Everyone had a smile on their face, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
But what surprised Kyle was that some people had a very strange expression when they saw him.
Some people would give him an encouraging smile, while others would laugh at him undisguisedly.
This made Kyle confused. Just when he was hesitating whether to just grab someone and ask, Cedric just happened to walk over from not far away.
"I've heard it all..."
Cedric stepped forward and patted Kyle on the shoulder, saying softly, "It's okay. You just didn't do well in one course. It doesn't mean anything. You are still the smartest student in Hogwarts, there is no doubt about that."
"Wait a minute..." Kyle asked hurriedly, "Why are you like this too? What happened?
Also, what does it mean that I didn’t do well in the exam? The results came out so soon?"
"Don't you know yet?"
Cedric said: "Someone noticed that Professor McGonagall kept shaking her head when she looked at your test paper, so many people said that you must have not done well in the test, which made Professor McGonagall so disappointed."
Kyle was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know about this.
No wonder Cedric said right away that he didn't do well in the exam. Now I finally know the reason.
But Kyle just thought about it for a moment and didn't care.
In order to kill time, he almost memorized the questions, so he was very sure that his answers were all correct.
As for why Professor McGonagall shook her head... who knows? The thoughts of an older cat girl are not so easy to guess.
"Kyle...we were looking for you."
At this time, Fred and George also came, and I don’t know if it was discussed in advance, but the first sentence they said was exactly the same as Cedric’s.
"We've all heard about it..."
"Stop!" Kyle interrupted them quickly, "I did very well in the exam, I don't need your comfort."
"So...you want us to praise you?" Fred said with a strange expression.
"Well, let me think about how mom praised Percy..." George rubbed his face and made an exaggerated expression, "Look, all "O", I knew you could do it..."
"Kyle, we are so proud of you..."
"Is this okay?" Fred said with a smile, "But I think the results are something we will consider a week later. Isn't it a bit too early to show off now..."
"So, you're not here to comfort me?" Kyle asked subconsciously.
"Are you kidding me?"
Fred gave him an unpleasant look. "If even your grades need comforting, then what are we going to do? Go back to the dormitory and cry?"
"We just came here to ask if you want to go to the Forbidden Forest."
"We heard there were Kneazles there..."
"Maybe we can catch one and give it to Ginny as a school admission present."
"She's always wanted to have a Kneazle."
Kyle thought for a moment and shook his head, "I have other things to do later. Oh, can you lend me the Marauder's Map?"
The twins, who were originally a little disappointed, raised their eyebrows and smiled knowingly when they heard that Kyle wanted a live map.
"Of course, feel free to use it."
……
At night, Kyle quietly left the common room and came to the entrance of the restricted area alone.
He had thought about it for a long time, wondering whether or not he should get involved in this mess involving the Philosopher's Stone, and only made up his mind last night.
Come!
The Philosopher's Stone is secondary. That thing belonged to Nicolas Flamel and was very precious to Dumbledore. It was unlikely that he would take it away.
Kyle was here for another matter.
Of course, after all, he had to face Voldemort head-on, so just in case, he had made full preparations.
Kyle pulled a small bottle, no bigger than his thumb, from his pocket.
Felixir.
He knew very well that he was not Harry and had no bad fate with Voldemort. He needed some luck to survive safely.
"I hope the gains from this trip are worth the money paid for the ticket."
Kyle uncorked the bottle and carefully took a sip of the golden liquid inside.
It would be a waste to drink it all, he only needed a few hours of luck.
The next second, Kyle suddenly felt that the whole world was different. An extremely exciting feeling flowed through his body, as if there were endless opportunities in front of him.
He felt like he could do anything, and nothing was a problem... Things that had seemed difficult before now seemed easy.
"Why did I waste so much time..."
Kyle smiled and pushed open the door to the restricted area.
In the room, Lu Wei roared and rushed over, but when he found out that the person coming was Kyle, he quickly braked and jumped twice on the spot excitedly.
"Too boring?"
Kyle smiled and waved his hand, "Come here, I'll take you somewhere else to play for a while, how about that?"
The heads on both sides of Lu Wei nodded excitedly, but the head in the middle was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, we'll be back soon. Dumbledore won't know, I promise."
This time, Lou Williams agreed.
Kyle put it in the box, took out his broom, and flew down through the trapdoor entrance.
The room was empty.
The previous Devil's Snare had been moved away by him, and it was obvious that Professor Sprout did not restock it.
Or maybe she didn't know either.
If Kyle guessed correctly, there should be an entrance here that the professors used to set up the levels.
Because there was no need to enter through the trapdoor, no one noticed that something was missing from the room.
This is really... so irresponsible.
Don’t you know to check such an important level regularly?

Looking at the empty room, Kyle frowned.
Regardless of whether he was a member of Hufflepuff or the instigator, Kyle felt that he had a responsibility to help Professor Sprout make up for this little mistake.
However, the Devil's Snare was still in the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. It would be a waste of time to move it again. By the time he came back, Quirrell would have turned into ashes.
So Kyle decided to get something else instead.
He opened the box and took out all the bite-sized cabbages and laid them out neatly under the trapdoor.
There are about thirty of them in total, just enough to cover the steps that were previously used to place the devil's snare.
He had taken two seeds from Professor Sprout's greenhouse before, and putting them here now was like returning the favor tenfold.
Kyle looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction... This is the strength that should be used to protect the Philosopher's Stone. The Devil's Snare before was just a joke and too perfunctory.
Hopefully, Professor Quirrell, who will be coming down soon, will also like biting cabbages as much as he does, and understand their habits and weaknesses, otherwise... he might be in trouble.
As for what to do with Harry, Kyle wasn't worried at all. He had a feeling that Harry would be fine.
After doing all this, Kyle got on his broom again and flew forward along a stone corridor, and soon arrived at Professor Flitwick's level.
In the brightly lit room, countless winged keys fluttered like birds under the high vaulted ceiling.
There was a row of worn-out flying brooms at the entrance, exactly three, no more, no less.
"Three Broomsticks... Tsk, there's something wrong with Professor Flitwick." Kyle muttered softly.
In order to create some trouble for Professor Quirrell, Kyle did not rush to break through the level. Instead, he took out his wand and whispered to the broom in the corner:
"Get away quickly!"
Three brooms floated up one after another and flew away along the stone corridor at the back.
As for where they will eventually fly to, Kyle himself doesn't know.
It doesn't matter where we go, as long as it's not in this room.
Kyle then jumped off his broom himself and walked quickly to the other end of the room.
The keys flying in the air made no sound and he reached the door unscathed.
Kyle took out the master key, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it gently... With a click, the door lock popped open immediately.
I have to say, this level is even more perfunctory than Professor Sprout's Devil's Snare, and it's not difficult at all.
Even without the master key, you can still pass easily by finding a Bowtruckle in the Forbidden Forest.
But the next level with Professor McGonagall is a bit troublesome.
The chessboard, which was empty before, is now filled with black and white chess pieces... Those chess pieces are all carved out of stone, almost two meters high, and look like the stone statues in the castle, full of oppression.
Kyle frowned, feeling a bit embarrassed. His magic chess skills were average, fine for entertainment, but he wasn't sure he could pass this level.
Fortunately, he has other ways, which may be a little rude. He hopes Professor McGonagall won't be angry.
Kyle opened the box and let the troll out.
