When he looked up, he realized that Hermione had come over from the Gryffindor table at some point, followed by a nervous Harry and Ron.
"What's the matter?" Kyle asked.
"That's it..." Hermione glanced around and whispered: "There are many people here, can we go to a quieter place?"
"No need to bother." Kyle took out his wand and tapped it lightly.
"Close your earplugs and listen!" Kyle said: "Okay, now others can't hear what we say."
This spell was learned by Kyle from Snape's "Advanced Potion Making". It can mark off an area and fill the ears of everyone around it with an unidentifiable buzzing sound. It has a good anti-eavesdropping effect. good.
Hermione was a little surprised, but also pleasantly surprised.
"That's it."
Although she had never seen this curse, she did not doubt Kyle's statement and said directly: "I think you should also know what a bad teacher Umbridge is. We can't learn anything from her. What knowledge about defense against the dark arts."
"Of course." Kyle said: "In fact, we were discussing this just now, so what do you want to say?
"To be clear in advance, if you want us to unite and drive Umbridge out, forget it...she has Fudge's backing, which even Professor Dumbledore can't do."
"No, I know there's no way to get rid of her." Hermione said hesitantly, "I was thinking, maybe we can... do it ourselves."
Cedric suddenly became interested, "Do you mean, we learn Defense Against the Dark Arts ourselves?"
"Yes, that's it." Hermione said, her tone suddenly becoming emotional, "We need to be prepared to deal with whatever is coming, I mean, we need to be able to protect ourselves, not in the classroom On, facing those theories and parchments, he lived in a daze.
"So we need a teacher, a suitable teacher who can teach us how to use spells and correct us when we make mistakes, like Sirius or Professor Moody."
Hermione became more and more excited as she talked, and would glance at Kyle from time to time.
"And we have a person like this around us. I dare say he is more suitable for this job than most people."
"I think I know who you are talking about." Cedric smiled, "You are right, he is indeed very suitable."
Kyle looked at Hermione's shining eyes and Cedric's malicious expression, and instantly understood what they meant.
So, out of instinct, before Hermione could speak, he said directly: "Yeah, I fully support what you said, this is a good thing."
"So you agree?" Hermione said excitedly.
"Yes." Kyle nodded, "I know you want Cedric to teach you Defense Against the Dark Arts. Of course there is no problem. I am the first to agree."
"Great..." Cedric patted Kyle's shoulder happily, but when he was about to say something, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Wait...Hermione clearly said..."
"I know." Kyle interrupted him, "You are thin-skinned and embarrassed to agree. It doesn't matter. I agreed on your behalf. You're welcome."
Now, not only Cedric, but also Hermione was confused.
She actually came here this time to ask Kyle to teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Last night, she had a long discussion with Harry and Ron, and they all agreed that Kyle was the most suitable candidate.
There is nothing to question about this. After all, the honors Kyle has received are all displayed in the prize showroom, including two unprecedented special contribution awards to the school, the "Today's Transfiguration" Most Potential Newcomer Award, and the youngest Triwizard Competition. The winner of the tournament and the youngest member of Sir Merlin.
It can be said that Kyle can get a new honor every year... The special contribution award to the school, which everyone thinks is extremely difficult, has become the most inconspicuous one for him.
Therefore, in Hermione's view, Kyle is simply the best candidate to replace Umbridge, and Harry and Ron also think so.
"Actually, we want you to teach." Ron muttered quietly: "If it were anyone else, it would be better to ask Harry."
"Hey, don't say that." Harry stopped him quickly and looked at Cedric with an apologetic look, "Sorry, Digory, it's not what you thought..."
"It doesn't matter." Cedric waved his hand, "Because I think so too."
"No, I'm not suitable." Kyle shook his head decisively, "Wanting to teach others more about what you know is completely different from how many spells you know."
"I don't think there is any difference." Ron was a little dissatisfied.
In his opinion, professors are powerful wizards. Vice-principal Professor McGonagall is more powerful than ordinary professors, and principal Dumbledore is the most powerful one. Is there any problem with this?
"Of course there are differences." Kyle glanced at him, "For example, the Transfiguration Curse, before sixth grade, Professor McGonagall demonstrated it to me. So it's hard for me to explain to you how to do it. And what should I pay attention to because I haven’t experienced it.”
After listening to Kyle's words, everyone's expressions were wonderful, especially Harry and Ron. Their faces felt burning, as if there were two salamanders lying on them.
Let’s not mention the transfiguration of the sixth grade for now, but the transfiguration of the fifth grade is a huge test for them... Even with Hermione's help, it will take them several days to barely pass.
As a result, Kyle now told them that he only had to watch it once and it would be fine?
This gap must be too big, and both of them found it difficult to accept it for a while.
Even Hermione opened her mouth and hesitated to speak. She felt that Kyle was showing off something just now, and the evidence was conclusive.

Chapter 627 The gap between wizards
"As much as I hate to admit it, it's true."
Looking at the stunned expressions of the three, Cedric said with a smile, "He had already learned the sixth-grade course in the third-grade Transfiguration Club. At that time, everyone, including Professor McGonagall, found it incredible.
"It was precisely because of this that she decided to recommend Kyle to Transfiguration Today."
"And Potions, too," Connor added.
Also in the third grade, Kyle brewed the elixir of life and death that was only available in "Advanced Potion Making" during class. This also led to Snape crazily making up lessons during the Christmas vacation, so she still remembers it.
Harry and Ron's expressions became even more exciting. They looked at each other and saw the same thoughts as their own in each other's eyes.
...Go back quickly, I don’t want to stay here for another minute!
Although they had known for a long time that there was a gap between themselves and Kyle, when this gap was clearly displayed in front of their eyes, it was still a bit difficult for the two of them to accept it.
It was so shocking, how could the gap between wizards and wizards be so big... They felt like they had made a mistake by agreeing to come with Hermione.
"That's why I said that I am not suitable to guide others."
Kyle ignored what Harry and Ron thought and continued: "Cedric is just the opposite. He has always been the first in his grade. His grades in all subjects are "O", and he still gets full marks for O.W.L. spells. Both practice and theory are very solid.
"And he often teaches the younger students in the common room. If I have to choose a professor among the students, there is no one more suitable than him."
Listening to Kyle's series of compliments, Cedric was not happy at all.
"Why do I feel that you are praising yourself in disguise?" He muttered in a low voice: "You can learn it after listening to it once, so I have to do it step by step."
"Don't worry about these details." Kyle said with a smile, "Why, aren't you willing to teach them?"
"That's not true." Cedric shook his head and said, "If anyone is willing to listen, of course I am."
"Look, the matter is solved." Kyle said, and then he looked at Hermione, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you have other candidates. As long as you can gain the trust of other students, this kind of "student professor" will definitely be better. The more the merrier.”
Hermione didn't know what she was thinking at the moment. She didn't speak, but nodded with a complicated expression.
Behind her, Harry and Ron kept winking at her, wanting to get out of here quickly.
Hermione seemed to want to say something else, but under the urging of the two men, she could only temporarily put aside her doubts and went back to the Gryffindor table with them.
After Hermione and the other three left, Kyle also lifted the ear-blocking spell.
Cedric turned to look at him and said, "I feel like they are quite disappointed. Are you really not going to teach them?"
"I have other things to do." Kyle said, "Besides, you are indeed a better professor than me."
"Don't say that." Cedric shook his head, "I am not qualified to be a professor now. I just provide them with some help in Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Is that so?" Kyle suddenly said: "Maybe Qiu will join in, don't you want her to call you professor?"
"puff!"
Cedric was drinking pumpkin juice, but he couldn't hold it back and all the pumpkin juice came out of his mouth.
Fortunately, Kyle was prepared. With a tap of the wand, the pumpkin juice in the air quickly condensed together and disappeared with a pop.
After Justin Finch-Fletchley, who was sitting opposite Cedric, came to his senses, he glanced at Kyle gratefully.
"Sorry, Justin." Cedric apologized quickly, and then he seemed to think of something, his face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Kyle with embarrassment.
"What are you talking about? I'm really not qualified to be a professor!"
"I didn't say anything else. Why are you so excited?" Kyle shrugged.
"You..." Cedric's face turned redder, and even the tips of his ears changed color.
"Okay, it's not enough to be a professor." Kyle ended the topic at the right time, "What are you going to teach them, the stun spell, the disarming spell, or the armor spell."
"All of these are fine, but I think the Iron Armor Curse is the key point." Cedric took a few breaths, and then said after calming down: "I'm going to compile the content taught by Professor Moody before and use it as a template. What do you think? How about it.
"Oh, and Professor Lupin, the Mist Charm and Speed Charm he taught are also very useful."
"Learn to escape first... This is a really good idea." Kyle nodded, "You are indeed better suited to teach them than me."
"But..." Cedric glanced back in the direction of Gryffindor, "I feel like they would rather you go to class than me."
"Forget it." Kyle said softly: "Everyone has a position that suits them. Just like a Quidditch match, in addition to the members of both teams, the referee's position is equally important..."
Cedric didn't understand what it meant, but Kyle didn't explain it and just told him about the venue.
"If you are going to have classes, you will definitely need a classroom. Where are you going to choose?"
"I don't know," Cedric said.
He had just been put on the shelf a few minutes ago, how could he have figured out where to go to class so quickly?
"How about the sixth floor?"
After a moment, Cedric said, "There are the most empty classrooms there, and no one usually goes there, so it's fairly safe."
"It's not good." Kyle said, "Just because there are fewer people there doesn't mean there aren't any. They will always be discovered over time... Go to the eighth floor, the Room of Requirement."
"The Room of Requirement?" Cedric thought of the magical room on the eighth floor, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily, "This is really a good idea. You will definitely not be discovered there."
"That's right." Kyle smiled.
Then after dinner was over, they returned to the Hufflepuff common room to discuss other details.
"I will tell Hermione the location of the Room of Requirement tomorrow." Cedric said, "I just don't know how many people are willing to come... I mean, after all, this is an extra class, and it will definitely occupy Their other time.”
"You don't have to worry about this." Kyle smiled, "Anyone with a clear mind will participate.
"Well, I'll be the first to sign up, Professor Diggory."
"I'll tell Qiu." Kangna also came over to join in the fun, "I think she won't refuse to take another class."
As if he thought of something, Cedric's face turned red again, and he said angrily: "I told you not to call me that, I'm not a professor, and this is just a Defense Against the Dark Arts tutorial, why are you joining in the fun? "
