Chapter 601: Changes and a New Class Leader

In the next few days, Kyle stayed here.

In addition to the library, the food here is also an important reason. Mrs. Weasley's cooking skills are much better than the bread and smoked sausages he eats at home.

During this period, he also met many people.

For example, Kingsley Shacklebolt, an Auror working in the Ministry of Magic, Dedalodigo, who looks reckless and has no brains, and Mundungus Fletcher, who is not very popular.

Of course, these people are also very interested in Kyle and are surprised that he will appear here.

However, Kyle did not explain so much. He only said that he and Harry were friends when everyone ate together occasionally.

As for the rest of the time, he stayed in the underground library. Usually, no one else came here, including Hermione.

Because Kreacher was always staring at her, it was difficult for her to calm down and read books, so under normal circumstances, she asked Sirius to bring the books out and read them in her room.

Ron expressed that he did not understand their behavior... He did not understand why they had to read books when it was obviously a holiday.

Harry thought it would be good to read more books at this time, and tried to join the two.

But his enthusiasm only lasted for one day, and then the book he found was thrown into the corner of the table.

There was no way, as long as there was a little movement outside, Harry would be distracted... He really couldn't read.

Especially after the letter from Hogwarts was delivered, he was even less in the mood.

That day, the owl brought a new list of books, and there was also a surprise.

Hermione became the prefect, and her badge was placed in the envelope containing the list of books.

Harry didn't find it strange. After all, among the fifth-year students, no one was more suitable than Hermione, and she would definitely become the prefect.

But what Harry and everyone else didn't expect was that the male prefect was Ron.

"Ah, a room full of prefects." Fred's exaggerated exclamation almost spread throughout the house, "That's great, isn't it."

"If you don't count the two of us." George said.

"Don't forget Ginny."

"Hey, I'm only in fourth year this year." Ginny said dissatisfiedly, "Maybe they will send me a badge next year too."

"Only a fool would think so." Fred said, but his tone was a little sour.

If she heard him say this at other times, Mrs. Weasley would definitely give him a lecture, but not today.

Looking at the prefect badge in Ron's hand, she was very happy and promised Ron to buy him a new broom.

Although the flying broom was expensive, if it was not a particularly good one, but just a new one, they could afford it if they saved a little.

"We can buy a flying broom too." George muttered quietly beside him, "And buy it ourselves."

"That's right." Fred said.

After a brief surprise, Hermione also congratulated Ron and looked at the other side of the table.

It seemed that everyone had forgotten that there was another person in the room who was not a prefect.

"Harry?" She walked out and said hesitantly, "How are you?"

"Great, Hermione." Harry said, with exaggerated enthusiasm, "Congratulations on becoming a prefect, and of course, Ron."

After that, he pretended to pack up his things so that Hermione wouldn't see his face.

It was hard for Harry to tell what he was feeling now.

He didn't want to admit that he was jealous of Ron and jealous of him becoming a prefect, but when he got the news, he did feel a little uncomfortable.

Harry felt that he was not worse than Ron, or in some ways, he might be a little better.

For example, Quidditch, he flew very well, and he was the youngest member of the school team.

"But I didn't lead the team to win the Quidditch Cup." Harry thought again.

And most of the adventures they experienced in school or the things they did were done together.

Harry didn't want to be jealous and slander Ron just because Ron surpassed him in something for the first time.

So he tried to convince himself in his heart that maybe he was not as good as Ron, and Ron deserved to be a prefect.

Also, during this year's holiday, Ron came to the Order of the Phoenix first, and then he... Maybe Dumbledore had already made his choice at that time.

Now, instead of letting go, Harry became even more uncomfortable, forcing himself to smile all day.

But Kyle didn't know this, he was still in the library at this moment.

"Advanced Dark Magic Revealed" contains a complete introduction to Horcruxes and some production methods.

To be honest, this magic is not as difficult as Kyle imagined. He is confident that if he wants, he can just find a Death Eater and make the book in front of him into his own Horcrux on the spot.

But this is not Kyle's purpose. His original intention to study Horcruxes was an idea that came to him after seeing the Longbottoms.

The Longbottoms may be one reason why he has persisted until now, but more importantly, he wants to change something.

This change is not simply to save one or a few people... After all, he has done this since the train left Hogwarts for the holiday.

Because Cedric survived, and soon he would return to Hogwarts for his seventh year.

Kyle wanted to change more, even something that would affect the perception of the wizarding world, such as changing the number of Unforgivable Curses from three to two.

The reason why the Cruciatus Curse is an unforgivable curse is because it will cause irreversible damage to the soul. But if his idea is successful and then streamlined, can it be regarded as the counter-curse of the Cruciatus Curse?

Kyle didn't know, but it was worth a try.

But the problem now is that according to the records of Horcruxes in "Advanced Black Magic Revealed", it is enough if you use it yourself, but if you want to change the method and use it on a comatose person, it is still far from enough.

The biggest problem is the inability to actively pull the soul.

So Kyle asked Kreacher to help find some other books about souls, which he had been studying recently.

…

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that Kyle came out of the library.

As soon as he arrived in the kitchen, he saw a bright red banner hanging above the dining table.

It read... Congratulations to Ron and Hermione on being elected Prefects.

Oh, yes, they are in fifth grade this year, Kyle thought to himself.

Mrs. Weasley placed the plates with a smile. It was the first time during the entire holiday that Kyle was so happy to see her. Even the arrival of Mundungus did not ruin his good mood.

Many people came back today, including Mr. Weasley, Moody, Kingsley, and Tonks.

And Bill, still dressed in the same novelty, greeted Kyle enthusiastically.

Kyle didn't ask why he was here... there was no need.

Finally, there was Dumbledore, but he arrived relatively late, appearing in the hall halfway through dinner.

"Dumbledore..." Mundungus stood up first at the dining table and put the silver table knife in his sleeve back on the table.

"It seems I arrived just in time." Dumbledore sat down at the table and took a piece of baked potato from the table.

"What happened, Dumbledore?" Moody asked, tilting his head.

"Very well." Dumbledore nodded, and then he looked up at the banner on the dining table.

"Oh, I almost forgot that today is the day to announce the prefects." He raised his glass and said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Facing Dumbledore, both Ron and Hermione seemed a little reserved.

Harry felt more complicated. Although he wanted to know why Dumbledore didn't choose him as a prefect, he didn't have the courage to ask.

It wasn't until he heard from Sirius in the following chat that his father was not a prefect that his mood improved a lot.

Fred and George finally found like-minded people. They found that many of the people sitting here were not prefects, including Tonks, who they thought was excellent.

The meal ended with laughter, an atmosphere not often seen these days.

After dinner, Dumbledore stopped Kyle who was about to go back to his room.

"Remember what we said before?" he asked.

"Of course, Professor," Kyle said, "Is the meeting about to start already?"

He has been in the library recently, and for a while he couldn't remember what day it was.

"It's tomorrow," Dumbledore said. "Originally, I was thinking about going to St. Catchpole Village, but I didn't expect that you happened to be here too.

"If you don't have anything else, how about six o'clock tomorrow, I think we need to go there early."

"No problem, I can go anytime." Kyle said.

"That couldn't be better."

While the two were talking, they didn't notice that several heads were huddled together on the stairs outside.

"What are they talking about?" Ron asked curiously.

"I seem to be attending some kind of meeting." Fred held an ear-shaped object and said, "The time is tomorrow morning."

Now, everyone was interested.

Although they have been meeting almost every day recently, this is the first time that Dumbledore has participated.

But just when they wanted to hear more, the kitchen door was suddenly opened, and they were so frightened that they quickly shrank their necks and tried to hide themselves on the stairs.

Dumbledore walked out of it, paused slightly, and then walked out as if nothing had happened.

"Great, he didn't notice us." Ron said proudly.

"I don't think so." came a voice.

"Definitely not." Ron said confidently, "We just hid very... quickly..."

At this point, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

This voice was so familiar, they heard it every time at the opening party, it was Dumbledore's.

Ron was suddenly frightened and broke into a cold sweat.

Subconsciously, he looked towards the direction from which the sound came, which was the ear-shaped thing in Fred's hand.

At this time, Dumbledore's voice came again from inside.

"It's a nice invention and very practical. But I think you should go back to your room to rest at this time.

"Molly just said that she doesn't want you to make trouble too late. You definitely don't want to see her angry, right?"

"You are right, Professor." George reacted and said, "We are just testing the new invention... Go back to the room now."

"By the way, Professor, thank you for your approval." Fred added: "This is our new invention, and it only costs two galleons in the Weasley Joke Shop."

"Of course, if you are a member of the Order of the Phoenix, you can get a good discount."

How can you say that Fred and George have seen the world? Not only are they not at a loss like Ron, but they also took the opportunity to advertise.
