00:00Welcome to the Dream Novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip.
00:13Don't forget to like and comment. So that the admin will have the encouragement to continue
00:18making clips. Let's go listen. Hogwarts. I am such a model wizard.
00:25Chapter 381 Lupin and Black For the next few days, there was only one topic of conversation
00:31throughout the school series Black. The stories about how he had broken into the castle grew
00:37increasingly wild. Seamus Finnegan from Gryffindor insisted that Black had snuck in disguised as a
00:43Dementor, right among the guards. Luna, on the other hand, believed he had been posing as a
00:49painting of a goblin that could come and go from the castle at will. The torn portrait of the fat
00:54lady was taken down and replaced with that of Sir Cadogan. But the Gryffindor students didn't
01:00seem pleased with him. In the corridors, Kyle constantly overheard them complaining.
01:06That Sir Cadogan, he spends half his day challenging people to duels. Every time I go to the common room,
01:12I have to waste five minutes answering his challenges, because if you ignore him, he just
01:17keeps taunting you. He also keeps coming up with the most absurdly complicated passwords,
01:23and changes them at least twice a day. I think he's probably been stuck on the eighth floor
01:28too long, someone commented. The corridor. Where Sir Cadogan used to be was pretty much
01:35deserted, and none of the other portraits wanted him as a neighbor. Of course, no one wants to put
01:41up with someone who only ever talks nonsense, another agreed. Within just a few days, Sir Cadogan had
01:47replaced Sirius Black as the main topic of conversation among Gryffindor students.
01:53At least he's brave, Fred remarked with a grin over lunch one day. No other portrait would take the job,
01:59but Sir Cadogan jumped at the chance. And I heard he volunteered, added George.
02:05They didn't truly dislike Sir Cadogan, in fact, sometimes they even taunted him on purpose just
02:11to watch him bounce excitedly in his portrait. Kyle, to be honest, was also a bit curious about
02:17Sir Cadogan, though the knight was only responsible for guarding the Gryffindor common room and couldn't
02:22exactly transfer over to Hufflepuff. Just then, Harry entered the great hall, looking a bit glum.
02:29Percy trailed after him, glancing around nervously, as if half expecting a dragon to leap out from behind
02:35a pillar and devour Harry on the spot. His odd behavior quickly caught everyone's attention.
02:41Oh, here we go. Big head, Percy's at it again, Fred muttered, rolling his eyes before looking away.
02:49What's going on? Cedric asked, intrigued. Percy looks extra jittery.
02:56It's because of Harry, George explained.
03:00Mum wrote to us the other day, asking if we could keep an eye on Harry.
03:03And since then, Percy's been acting like this.
03:08You all know the situation between Black and Harry, Fred leaned in.
03:13Mum, or, well, just about everyone, thinks Black broke into the castle to get to Harry,
03:18to avenge his old master. The others nodded in understanding.
03:23No wonder I've seen a professor trailing Harry around lately.
03:27Cho mused.
03:29Not only that, Cedric added.
03:31Even during Quidditch practice, Madame Hooch has been keeping a close watch.
03:37Percy probably fancies himself a professor too, Fred said with a shrug.
03:42But really, this is the great hall, Black isn't about to jump out from under the table.
03:47He bent down, peering dramatically under the table with a straight face.
03:52Mr. Black, are you here?
03:54Fancy a bit of steak?
03:55His ridiculous antics made several people laugh, including Harry, who managed a smile.
04:03Kyle noticed Harry mutter something to Percy, who finally allowed a bit of distance between them,
04:08though he still kept a watchful eye.
04:11The first class that day was defense against the dark arts.
04:15After breakfast, Kyle and Conor headed to the classroom together.
04:19Today, Professor Lupin seemed a little off, as if preoccupied.
04:23He kept losing track of the lesson and mistakenly called out the wrong students' names several times.
04:30In the end, he abandoned the lecture altogether and had the students pair up to practice the
04:35Bhagat banishing spell.
04:37Just as the lesson was ending, Professor Lupin called out,
04:40Kyle, could you stay for a moment?
04:43I'd like to ask you something.
04:45As the others filed out, Kyle glanced around.
04:48To be honest, he felt a bit uneasy staying behind with Professor Lupin.
04:54Thankfully, there were no wardrobes or suitcases in sight, so there didn't seem to be any chance
04:59of encountering a Bhagat or anything else quite as unsettling.
05:03Professor Lupin didn't seem to notice Kyle's unease.
05:06He closed the door and, after a long pause, asked,
05:10Did you see him the other day?
05:12Who?
05:13Sirius Black.
05:15Yes, I did, Kyle replied with a nod.
05:19What was he like?
05:21Professor Lupin's voice dropped to a low tone.
05:24I mean, did he look like the pictures in the newspapers?
05:28In that brief question, his expression shifted multiple times, nervousness, disappointment,
05:34a flicker of hatred, and then, just barely, a trace of concern.
05:39You can tell it's the same person, but there are differences.
05:43Kyle thought for a moment before continuing.
05:45He's incredibly thin, just skin stretched over bone.
05:49He's filthy and unkempt, with sunken eyes, he looks like he's suffered a lot,
05:54probably to avoid getting caught by the dementors.
05:57He deserved it.
05:59Professor Lupin suddenly slammed his fist on the desk, his face full of anger.
06:05Thirteen years ago, he should have.
06:08As though he realized he'd said too much,
06:10Lupin quickly shut his mouth and took a few deep breaths.
06:14Sorry, Kyle, he forced a smile, just pretend I was talking nonsense.
06:19He paused, then asked,
06:21One last question, where did you lose black before?
06:25It was where Professor Dumbledore found us, Kyle replied.
06:29Later, we found a hidden passageway behind the tapestry that leads to the fourth floor,
06:34so I think that's how he escaped.
06:37Kyle shrugged.
06:38But we figured Filch knew about that passage, so we didn't bother telling the professors.
06:44Yes, Filch does know about that passage, but we searched the fourth floor for hours and found nothing.
06:50Professor Lupin's eyes narrowed slightly before he looked up again.
06:54All right, Kyle.
06:56Thank you, we've taken up enough time.
06:59Go on to your next class.
07:02Oh, and don't worry about being late, I'll speak with the professor.
07:06Which class do you have next?
07:09Potions.
07:10Kyle said hesitantly.
07:13Are you sure you can keep Professor Snape from taking points off my score?
07:17Error.
07:19Professor Lupin hesitated, then managed, I'll help you earn the points back in our next class.
07:25Hogwarts.
07:25I am such a model wizard.
07:29Chapter 382 No Way, Again.
07:32At the end of October, Raton finally returned from Romania after being away for more than a month.
07:38Kyle placed him back in his dormitory, filled his food bowl with dragon liver and tonic, and then untied the small bag tied to his paws.
07:46Inside were dragon scale badges and a letter from Charlie.
07:51The letter explained that the shop had been low on stock, so they had rushed to produce a new batch, which was why it had taken so long.
07:59Kyle sighed, thinking old John's shop could use a bit more professionalism.
08:03If he'd known it would take this long, he would have ordered fewer badges.
08:09By now, everyone had realized that the Dementors couldn't enter the castle, so the demand for the badges had faded.
08:15Kyle hadn't been asked about them in quite some time.
08:19Now, everyone's attention had shifted to something else entirely.
08:23With the first Quidditch match of the season approaching, the castle buzzed with excitement.
08:28Students could hardly wait for the game, and amidst all this energy, concerns about the Dementors, or even Black's break-in, seemed like distant worries.
08:38The day before the match, the wind howled, and the rain poured down harder than ever.
08:44The corridors and classrooms were so dim that extra torches and lanterns had to be lit.
08:49No one was keen on playing in such weather.
08:52Luckily, the first match is between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Mikel remarked gratefully in the common room,
08:58glancing at the window being battered by wind.
09:01This kind of weather really messes with performance.
09:05As it was his first match, he was taking things very seriously.
09:09The other team members around him nodded in agreement.
09:13But when they arrived in the Great Hall, Cedric delivered some unfortunate news.
09:17Our match has been moved up, he said with a grim expression.
09:22Flint just came to see me, apparently, we're playing Gryffindor tomorrow instead.
09:26Why, the team members asked, nearly in unison.
09:31Flint claims their seeker broke his arm during training yesterday and wants us to swap spots
09:36with them.
09:37He's talking rubbish.
09:39Mikel exclaimed angrily.
09:42Even if his arm were broken, Madame Pomfrey could have him fixed up in no time.
09:47They're just trying to dodge this weather because they think it'll hurt their score.
09:50Wait.
09:53Michael's face brightened with an idea.
09:55Captain, you haven't already agreed to this, have you?
09:59Cedric shook his head.
10:01Not yet.
10:03I told Flint I'd think about it.
10:05There's nothing to think about.
10:08Just refuse, another teammate urged.
10:10But Flint's already spoken to Professor Snape, Cedric said, his expression darkening.
10:17And Snape didn't look happy when I told Flint I needed to consider it.
10:21What, Professor Snape?
10:24Mikel raised his voice, baffled.
10:27Why was the Slytherin head of house getting involved in a Quidditch scheduling dispute?
10:32Anne.
10:33Cedric hesitated before continuing, if we refuse, Flint will probably go to Ravenclaw.
10:39Mikel stopped, turning suddenly to Kyle.
10:43Kyle, which house are we having our first charms lesson with today?
10:47Ravenclaw, I think, said Kyle, curious.
10:51Why?
10:53Give me a moment.
10:55Mikel lowered his head, deep in thought.
10:58The rest of the team remained silent, waiting.
11:01After a few minutes, Mikel looked up, a grin spreading across his face.
11:06I have an idea.
11:07If both Ravenclaw and we have players injured, and in the hospital wing, then Professor Snape
11:13won't have any reason to replace us with Slytherin.
11:17Cedric raised an eyebrow.
11:19It might work, but isn't it a bit extreme to get yourself hospitalized for one match?
11:24Don't worry, I've thought of everything.
11:27Mikel looked pleased with himself.
11:29But first, I need to meet their seeker, Cho Chang, before class, could someone get her
11:35for me?
11:37Cedric eyed him suspiciously but then got up and went to the Ravenclaw table.
11:41He'd wanted to discuss Flint's request with the team first, after all, Kyle's waterproof
11:46badge could help them get through the match without too much discomfort, even in this weather.
11:51Still, Mikel's plan was intriguing enough to hear out.
11:56Soon, Cho arrived, looking a little pale, clearly already aware of the situation from Cedric.
12:02She sat down next to Mikel and asked,
12:05So, what's your plan?
12:07It's just an idea, but I think it'll work.
12:10Mikel and Cho began whispering, and gradually, her expression shifted from worry to surprise,
12:16her eyes sparkling with excitement.
12:18I think it could really work, she said, nodding.
12:22Exactly, Mikel laughed.
12:25Now we just need the key ingredient.
12:28Wait here, I'll go buy it.
12:30No need.
12:32Kyle stopped Mikel, pulling out some sweets from his bag.
12:36I've already got what you need right here.
12:39You're sure these will work?
12:41They're even better than the original, Kyle said with a smirk.
12:44And don't worry, they won't have any lasting effects.
12:49Soon, it was time for class.
12:52At the staircase, the group split up, Cedric headed down to the dungeon for potions,
12:57while Kyle and the others made their way to the charms classroom.
13:01Today's lesson focused on the revealing charm.
13:04After thoroughly explaining the wand movements and the incantation,
13:08Professor Flitik handed each student a blank piece of parchment and instructed them to uncover its hidden content.
13:13The room filled with students chanting the spell, eager to see if any invisible writing would appear.
13:22Once Professor Flitik had moved to the other side of the classroom,
13:25Mikel discreetly popped a bean into his mouth, then gave Cho a quick wink.
13:30Catching on, Cho did the same.
13:32Without warning, an intense white light flashed through the classroom, startling everyone.
13:39Then, Mikel let out a dramatic scream and collapsed onto his desk, lying utterly still.
13:45Meanwhile, Cho's face seemed to have swollen, looking paler and a full circle larger than before.
13:51Professor Flitik turned around, wide-eyed at the sight of Mikel motionless on the table and Cho with her face grotesquely puffed up.
13:59Oh dear, what's happened, he stammered, utterly taken aback.
14:04Seeing Michael's condition and recalling that peculiar flash of light,
14:08an unsettling memory from a few years back surfaced, filling him with dread.
14:12Could it really be happening again?
14:15Panic flashed across his face.
14:18Quick!
14:19Take them to the hospital wing, he ordered.
14:22Kyle reacted instantly, sprinting out of the classroom as fast as he could.
14:27Hogwarts!
14:29I am such a model wizard.
14:32Chapter 383 Corrupted by Proximity, Don't worry, Phileas,
14:36He's not suffering from magical exhaustion this time, Madame Pomfrey reassured,
14:41breathing a sigh of relief after examining Mikel in the hospital wing.
14:45Although he's fallen into a coma, his physical condition is stable.
14:50Nothing serious is wrong.
14:52He'll just need to rest for a few days once he wakes up.
14:56That's good, that's good, Professor Flitik murmured, patting his chest with relief.
15:01And what about the other student?
15:03I think he was so startled that he miscast the charm,
15:06and he'll need a few days of rest as well, Madame Pomfrey replied, frowning.
15:11Phileas, may I ask what charm you were teaching them today?
15:15This boy hasn't had any magical issues in three years, so why now?
15:20Professor Flitik also looked baffled and even a bit frustrated.
15:24He couldn't fathom how this could have happened either.
15:27If it had been a complex charm, it might have made more sense.
15:31But the revealing charm, it was one of the simplest spells in the standard book of spells,
15:37grade four.
15:38If it appeared on the exams, it was practically a guaranteed bonus question.
15:43He'd already taught them the more challenging summoning charm without issue,
15:47yet somehow there'd been trouble with this.
15:50Professor Flitik simply couldn't understand it.
15:53Still, the most important thing was that they were all right.
15:56Professor Flitik turned to Kyle, who had been the first to respond and had helped bring
16:01Mikel and Cho to the hospital wing.
16:04Kyle, could you please stay here and look after them for a bit?
16:08No problem, Professor, Kyle nodded without hesitation.
16:12Leave it to me, I'll make sure they're all right.
16:15Professor Flitik nodded gratefully, and after exchanging a few words with Madame Pomfrey,
16:21he hurried back to his class.
16:22What did you say?
16:25In the corridor outside the great hall, Marcus Flint stared at Cedric, who wore a serious expression,
16:31and practically shouted, your beater was taken to the hospital wing.
16:35Yes, Cedric replied with a sigh.
16:38We were all set to reschedule the match, but Mikel had the misfortune of getting injured
16:42during charms class.
16:45Madame Pomfrey says he'll need to rest for a few days.
16:47So, Cedric looked over at Professor Snape and added apologetically, sorry, Professor.
16:56If the match schedule isn't changed, we'll be one player short tomorrow.
17:00Flint scowled in frustration, while Cedric remained calm and said, if you don't believe me, you're
17:06welcome to visit the hospital wing yourself.
17:09Or you could speak to Professor Flitik, he was the one who took both Mikel and Cho Chong there.
17:14Cho, as you know, is also Ravenclaw's seeker.
17:19Her spell was affected by Michael's miscast charm, and she ended up needing treatment as
17:23well.
17:24At this, Flint's frustration exploded.
17:28This is all just an act.
17:30There's no way both of them were injured at the same time, it's too much of a coincidence.
17:36I'm going to the hospital wing to expose this right now.
17:38Flint stormed off toward the hospital wing, and Cedric simply followed at a leisurely
17:44pace.
17:45When he arrived, he caught sight of Flint being unceremoniously tossed out of the hospital
17:50wing doors, Madame Pomfrey clearly had no intention of allowing anyone to create a scene
17:55in her domain.
17:57Do you believe me now?
17:59Cedric asked coolly.
18:01Honestly, how could I make up something that half of Charm's class witnessed?
18:05Flint ignored him, shouting toward the closed doors, they must have used Zonko's props.
18:12They're not really injured, they're faking it.
18:15Snape, observing the situation, looked just as skeptical.
18:19It was hard to believe that both a Hufflepuff and a Ravenclaw player were injured just as
18:23Slytherin was looking to reschedule.
18:26Even Longbottom wouldn't fall for something this contrived.
18:30However, Snape's hands were tied.
18:32The mishap in Charm's head naturally centered on Mikkel, known to have brewed the original
18:37magic-suppressing potion.
18:40Besides, Snape couldn't simply barge into the hospital wing and accuse the injured students
18:45of faking.
18:46Professors Flitik and Sprout wouldn't stand for it, and the witnesses in this case made
18:51the injuries harder to dispute than Malfoy's flimsy, bandaged arm.
18:55Turning to Cedric with a sneer, Snape said,
18:58Impressive, Mr. Diggory.
19:00I thought you'd be the type to look after an injured classmate.
19:04I'd be glad to, Professor, Cedric replied smoothly, but as you can see, we're one player
19:10short, so there's really nothing we can do.
19:13Unless.
19:15He trailed off, as if hesitating, then nodded.
19:19Alright.
19:20We'll play with Six.
19:22Losing a match isn't the end of the world, if it means we're helping Draco.
19:27Snape narrowed his eyes at Cedric.
19:30The boy's innocent expression was all too familiar to him, it reminded him of someone
19:34else with that same irritatingly angelic look, someone he'd always felt deserved a good hex.
19:40This was not the same Cedric he'd met in first year.
19:44No, Snape said icily.
19:47Tomorrow's schedule will remain as it is.
19:50Let your players rest in peace.
19:52Marcus Flint turned, his face contorted with desperation.
19:57Professor, they're faking it.
19:59If we just, silence.
20:02Snape snapped, cutting him off.
20:05He turned abruptly and strode away, clearly unwilling to waste another second on the scene.
20:11Excuse me, I need to go in and visit our beater.
20:13Cedric calmly walked into the hospital wing, entirely unfazed by Flint's furious glare.
20:21But before closing the door, he poked his head back out, a slow grin spreading across his face.
20:26Oh, and good luck in the match tomorrow.
20:30You.
20:31Flint was so enraged that he nearly swung at him, his fist clenched tightly enough to crack his knuckles.
20:37But Cedric had already disappeared inside, leaving Flint fuming, fists shaking, and unable to do anything but glare at the closed door.
20:45And so, the next day arrived, and with it, the day of the much-anticipated Quidditch match.
20:53In the hospital wing, Cho and Mikkel made an unexpected recovery and stood before Madame Pomfrey, requesting to be discharged.
21:01At first, Madame Pomfrey was reluctant, but seeing how lively and alert the two of them looked, she finally agreed to give them a thorough examination.
21:10Naturally, the results showed no issues, so she allowed them to leave.
21:15Remember to be more careful in the future, Madame Pomfrey advised Mikkel, giving him a pointed look.
21:22I thought you'd already mastered your magic.
21:25Maybe I was a bit anxious about not being able to perform the charm, Mikkel replied.
21:30I promise it won't happen again.
21:33Seeing Michael's respectful response, Madame Pomfrey nodded approvingly and didn't press the matter further.
21:39She simply allowed them to go on their way.
21:42Thank you for all the help, Cho said politely as they left.
21:46Apologies for the trouble, Mikkel added, following suit.
21:50Hogwarts.
21:52I am such a model wizard.
21:55Chapter 384
21:56An uninvited guest on the field the wind and rain were just as relentless on the day of the Quidditch match as they had been the day before.
22:02But as Hogwarts' favorite sport, Quidditch drew the entire school to the pitch regardless of the weather.
22:09Students ran down towards the field, huddling against the fierce wind.
22:14Midway there, someone's umbrella got snatched away by a gust, forcing them to trudge along with their heads down.
22:20Kyle's waterproof badges proved incredibly handy.
22:25The Hufflepuff team stood in a pouring rain at the front of the bleachers, without umbrellas but completely dry, hair and robes untouched by the rain.
22:34Their unusual appearance naturally drew attention.
22:36Malfoy soon approached from the direction of the changing rooms, still in his green Slytherin uniform.
22:44Kyle, what's keeping them so dry?
22:47Have you invented something again?
22:48Sort of, Kyle replied, pointing to the shiny badge on Cedric's chest.
22:55It's a waterproof and moisture-proof badge.
22:57Perfect for weather like this.
23:00I'll take one, Malfoy declared without even asking the price.
23:05Wise choice, Kyle said, handing him a badge.
23:09That'll be ten galleons.
23:11Malfoy reached for his pocket, then hesitated, his expression turning slightly awkward, he'd forgotten his uniform didn't have pockets, meaning he had no money with him.
23:21As a valued customer, you're welcome to experience it first, Kyle offered smoothly.
23:27You can decide on payment after the game.
23:30Malfoy's face brightened, and he tried to brush off the situation casually.
23:34He muttered something about simply wanting to enjoy the perks of being a, valued customer, and assured Kyle that the Malfoy family would, of course, settle any debt.
23:45After Malfoy left, several other students came over, curious about the badges.
23:50However, at a price of five galleons each, the waterproof badges didn't sell quickly, though Kyle explained that five galleons was actually a very low price for magical items.
24:00As for the map feature, it was only available as a perk in the welcome pack for new Hufflepuff students.
24:08A few minutes before the match was set to begin, Malfoy returned.
24:12I'll take six more, he said, handing over 70 galleons.
24:17And as for the one I tried out, it works impressively well.
24:21At that moment, Oliver Wood walked over, looking interested.
24:24I heard from Professor McGonagall that you've got something here that keeps off the rain, he said.
24:31How much?
24:33Five galleons for the basic badges, ten for the ones with dragon scales, Kyle replied.
24:39Two of the regular ones, Wood said, passing over ten galleons.
24:44Standing beside him, Malfoy gave Wood a disdainful snort.
24:48But Wood simply brushed it off.
24:50Badges don't make you any better, Malfoy.
24:54You're still going to lose.
24:56Malfoy opened his mouth to retort, but just then, Madame Hooch was walking toward the center of the pitch, so he hurried off instead.
25:05Wood, with a simple leap, jumped from the bleachers onto his broom and handed the waterproof badges to two younger chasers.
25:12A few minutes later, Madame Hooch's whistle pierced the air, and the match began.
25:17Cheers erupted from the stands.
25:19This feels amazing, said Hufflepuff's new keeper, grinning as he came back from the front of the bleachers.
25:26I swear a hundred people were staring at me, and Angelina Johnson from Gryffindor looked this way at least three times.
25:34Bet she was smitten.
25:36You're dreaming, one of his teammates laughed.
25:39She was looking at me.
25:40They all chuckled and sat down beside Cedric.
25:44One of them turned to Kyle, saying, so, did you really just give us these badges?
25:50Of course, Kyle confirmed.
25:52That's what we agreed on.
25:54This thing's worth ten galleons, the player said, amazed.
25:59If you ever come up with something like this again, let me know.
26:03I'd stand out in the rain all day for it.
26:06No problem, Kyle grinned.
26:09At that moment, a new round of cheers erupted from the stands, Slytherin had just scored the first goal,
26:15and a few of the Slytherin students, caught up in the excitement, tossed their umbrellas away.
26:20Amidst the noise, Cho and Mikel pushed their way through the crowd to join the others.
26:26We didn't miss anything, did we? asked Mikel.
26:29Right on time, Kyle replied with a smile.
26:33Slytherin just scored their first goal.
26:36How are you both holding up?
26:38Perfectly, Mikel grinned.
26:41The sapophrous beam worked like a charm, though I think I hit the table a bit hard on the way down.
26:46I took the second half of the swelling candy, too, Cho added.
26:51Madame Pomfrey didn't notice anything amiss.
26:54That's a relief, Kyle said, and Mikel added with a laugh, and that flash of light you conjured up was brilliant, Kyle.
27:02I used to think I was the only one who could pull off something like that without keeling over.
27:07It was nothing, Kyle shrugged.
27:09Just a little rune work.
27:12They settled in, watching the match while chatting, the game was tough to follow in the downpour.
27:18The rain made it hard to tell which players were which, and the field was dotted with hazy, moving shapes, barely distinguishable through the mist.
27:27Up in the commentator's stand, Lee Jordan had abandoned his usual banter to focus all his energy on trying to guess which blur held the quaffle.
27:34Well done, Angelina, or maybe it's spin net.
27:42The sky darkened, and as the first lightning bolt cracked across it, conditions on the pitch became even worse.
27:49For once, Lee Jordan was hoping the game would end quickly, but with visibility so poor, spotting the snitch was next to impossible.
27:56This game isn't going to drag on into the night, is it?
28:00Mikel muttered, shivering.
28:03I should have worn warmer robes.
28:05If they don't catch the snitch, then yes, it could last until nightfall, Cedric explained.
28:12School matches are simpler than the pro ones, but the rules are the same.
28:16I remember hearing about one that went on for two days because both teams had the worst seekers in Hogwarts history.
28:24No, Kyle interrupted, suddenly looking up at the sky.
28:28I don't think this one will last that long.
28:31Another flash of lightning ripped across the clouds, briefly illuminating the pitch, and with it, hundreds of hooded figures lining the stands.
28:40Dementors.
28:41They were clustered along the perimeter, their oppressive presence spreading a wave of chilling fear over the stadium.
28:48The crowd's cheers turned to horrified screams.
28:51Oh no, it's freezing.
28:54Mikel yelped, leaping to his feet.
28:57Why are those monsters here?
28:59The excitement probably drew them in, Kyle replied, watching the Dementors inch closer.
29:04They feed on happiness, and right now, the energy here must seem like a feast they can't resist.
29:11So, what do we do?
29:14Mikel asked, voice shaky, as he pulled his robes tighter around him, though it didn't help.
29:20It's okay, Kyle said, keeping his eyes on the Dementors.
29:24Professor Dumbledore won't let them stay here.
29:27But Dumbledore isn't in the castle.
29:30Mikel said in a panicked tone.
29:32I heard Professor McGonagall mention it this morning when she came to the hospital wing to get some pepper-up potion.
29:39She told Madame Pomfrey he left for London and won't be back until tonight.
29:44Hogwarts.
29:45I am such a model wizard.
29:48Chapter 385 Kyle's Patronus Professor Dumbledore wasn't at the castle.
29:54Kyle quickly stood up on his seat, scanning the area around the commentary box.
29:58Another flash of lightning briefly lit up the pitch, confirming what Mikel had said, Professor Dumbledore was indeed absent.
30:06With the rain coming down in torrents, there were far fewer professors watching the match than usual.
30:13Those who were there looked deeply alarmed, clearly grasping the severity of the situation.
30:18Around them, panicked voices rose louder and louder as students realized what was happening.
30:23Dementors, there are dementors.
30:27Everyone remembered the terror of encountering just two dementors on the train, and now there were at least a hundred of them hovering above the pitch.
30:35This is impossible, the professors said they'd only stay at the school and trance.
30:40Stop the game.
30:42Harry's in danger.
30:44Hermione cried, leaning over the front row and shouting desperately towards the pitch.
30:49Her voice, however, was swallowed by the chaos around her.
30:54Yet it seemed her worry had been justified, a shadow was hurtling towards them at alarming speed.
31:00Malfoy, pale-faced, clung tightly to his broom, rocketing toward the stands.
31:05Terror had apparently unlocked his full speed, faster even than when he'd been pursuing the golden snitch.
31:12Help!
31:13Help!
31:14He yelled, panicked.
31:16I can't stop.
31:17Acting quickly, Kyle drew his wand and transfigured nearby cloaks and umbrellas into a large net, which stretched out to catch the broom and prevent it from crashing.
31:27Malfoy landed, visibly relieved.
31:30As soon as his feet hit the ground, he shoved an unconscious Harry off the back of his broom.
31:36It wasn't me, he protested loudly.
31:39I didn't touch Potter.
31:41He just fainted when he saw the dementors and fell onto my broom.
31:45He nearly made me fall too.
31:48Fuming, Malfoy attempted to give Harry another kick, but a few students held him back.
31:54What happened, someone demanded.
31:57We were chasing the snitch, then all of a sudden, the dementors appeared.
32:02Malfoy's voice shook as he spoke.
32:05Potter fainted right over me.
32:06I barely managed to steer the broom down.
32:10I tried my hardest, but I could only adjust it a little.
32:14Then, as if realizing something, Malfoy looked up, his expression turning to horror.
32:20The dementors were now alarmingly close, closing in on the students with unmistakable hunger.
32:25A dim silver glow flickered from various parts of the stands, some of the older students had begun casting the Patronus charm.
32:33But while a few faint patron uses appeared, they were incomplete, barely holding back the encroaching dementors.
32:41Then, from the direction of the teacher's table, three brighter silver lights burst forth, McGonagall's cat, Sprout's weasel, and a swift from another professor.
32:50The powerful patron uses swept across the pitch, covering most of the area with brilliant light.
32:57Yet a small gap remained.
32:59Severus.
33:01Professor McGonagall called urgently.
33:04What are you waiting for?
33:06Hurry.
33:07Snape, visibly shaken, hesitated but finally drew his wand, his eyes on the dementors approaching the unprotected section of the pitch.
33:15Just as he opened his mouth to cast the charm, a new Patronus appeared, drifting into place and casting a broad silver light that filled the final gap.
33:24It was a strange, beautiful form, a translucent, umbrella-like creature that floated through the air with rippling movements, tendrils trailing below it like water.
33:34The dementors recoiled, contained outside the pitch, unable to advance another step.
33:39Professor McGonagall let out a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead before turning on Snape angrily.
33:47What were you doing just now?
33:50Don't tell me you can't cast the Patronus charm.
33:53Not even in her most intense moments with Snape had she spoken with such fury, but Snape, knowing he was in the wrong, didn't protest.
34:01As she regained her composure, McGonagall's eyes lingered on the jellyfish-like Patronus, noting that she had never seen one like it before.
34:10Its soft, umbrella-shaped body and delicate tendrils were unique.
34:15A jellyfish, she muttered, glancing at Professor Sprout.
34:19Do you know anyone with a Patronus like that?
34:22Professor Sprout shook her head, equally puzzled.
34:25Could it be?
34:27Kyle.
34:28Professor Flittick suggested after a moment's thought.
34:32I remember Remus mentioning that Kyle used the Patronus charm on the train.
34:37Professor McGonagall looked toward the Hufflepuff section, though the downpour made it impossible to see clearly.
34:44Kyle, is this your Patronus?
34:46Kanna tilted her head, watching the silvery creature hovering gracefully in midair.
34:52Kyle nodded.
34:53Yes.
34:55It's so beautiful.
34:56Kanna whispered, mesmerized.
35:00Cho nodded in agreement.
35:02While Kyle's Patronus wasn't as large or as powerful as the professor's patron uses, it was undeniably the most elegant.
35:10Its silvery form floated serenely, like a spirit gliding through the rain, captivating everyone's attention.
35:16Can our patron uses be like this?
35:20Cho asked hopefully.
35:21Canna's eyes sparkled.
35:24Maybe even more beautiful.
35:26Not necessarily, Kyle replied thoughtfully.
35:30Everyone's Patronus is different, and you can't tell what it'll be until it appears.
35:35Yours could turn out to be a toad, or a caterpillar, or, something.
35:40Cho's hopeful expression vanished instantly, and the sparkle in Kanna's eyes faded.
35:45Both of them slowly turned to glare at Kyle, eyes narrowed.
35:50I swear.
35:52Kanna gritted her teeth, if my Patronus turns out to be a caterpillar, I'll make sure you pay for it.
35:58Same here, Cho agreed.
36:01But why is that my fault?
36:03Kyle stammered.
36:04I was only giving an example.
36:07I don't care.
36:09Kanna snapped.
36:11Pft.
36:12Cedric couldn't hold back a laugh.
36:15What are you laughing at?
36:17Cho glared at him.
36:19You're in trouble too.
36:21What?
36:22Cedric looked bewildered.
36:25I didn't say anything, it was all Kyle.
36:28You laughed.
36:30Cho retorted.
36:32I.
36:33Cedric looked helplessly at the others, who were all biting their lips, shoulders shaking as they tried not to laugh.
36:40Malfoy, watching the scene, was also on the verge of laughing but held back as Kanna shot him a warning glance.
36:46He quickly lowered his gaze, gripping his broom tightly.
36:51I'm only keeping a straight face as a favor to Kyle, Malfoy thought to himself.
36:56It's not like I'm actually afraid of her or anything.
36:59But, thinking back to how Kyle had saved him from the out-of-control broom, and realizing Kanna was Kyle's friend, he convinced himself he was just showing loyalty.
37:10Yes, that's it, he assured himself.
