Chapter 618 The Professor's Strange Behavior

"Connor, listen to me. If you have time, you'd better take Snape to the school hospital to let Madam Pomfrey take a look. I think he seems to have drunk the wrong potion.

In the Hufflepuff common room in the evening, Kyle was trying hard to persuade Connor to pay more attention to Snape's situation.

But his kindness did not get any response. Connor just wrote her homework by herself and had no intention of talking at all... Sometimes she was tired of listening, and she would even look up and glare at Kyle.

"I'm serious. "Kyle said.

He has been in Hogwarts for five years. From the first grade to now, Snape has always deducted points from him, every class, without exception.

To be honest, Kyle was still feeling lucky that he only deducted one point this time. It was not until he left the classroom and saw the resentful eyes of the Slytherins that he realized that Snape was not talking about deducting points, but adding points...

Snape, who was addicted to deducting points, actually gave him extra points for the first time?

Kyle's first reaction was disbelief. Such an abnormal behavior must be caused by drinking the wrong potion.

So he wanted to persuade Connor to take Snape to the school hospital for a check-up. After all, the other party is Connor's only family. Even if she doesn't like the other party, she can't just sit back and watch.

But Connor doesn't think so.

"Is there anything wrong with getting extra points after completing the professor's requirements excellently? Seeing Kyle still chattering, Connor raised her head helplessly, "Professor Snape is just a little stricter than usual, but this is an advanced class, the difficulty has increased a lot, it's normal to give you extra points."

"No, no, no." Kyle shook his head frantically, and at the same time complained in his heart:

"This thing will happen to any professor, except Snape, who is weird everywhere."

Of course, he didn't dare to say it directly.

And the strange things don't stop there.

The next day, Professor McGonagall also gave him 30 extra points in the Transfiguration class, which is also rare in normal times.

Although Professor McGonagall is fair, in order to ensure that the scores of each college do not have a big gap, she usually only gives 10 extra points in class.

This score will only increase when learning particularly difficult new content, but even so, 30 points is already rare.

With these and the points given by Umbridge, Hufflepuff has become the first in the school in less than a month after the start of school, leading the second place Slytherin by more than 20 points.

"It's incredible." Cedric looked at the gems in the hourglass in the hall and sighed: "I really hope this ranking can last until the end of the school year. In that case, our Hufflepuff can break the record set by Slytherin and become the sixth consecutive champion."

Cedric's eyes were full of longing. He will graduate next year, so he really wants to see Hufflepuff full of honors and do something for it.

For example, leading the team to win this year's Quidditch Cup...

If he can do it, he can not only get a lot of school points, but also win the honor of the Quidditch Cup for five consecutive times, which is completely killing two birds with one stone.

"Hurry up, training." Thinking of this, Cedric suddenly felt his blood boiling, turned around and shouted loudly: "We only have three hours of venue use rights, take your brooms and gather on the court."

After that, he rushed out of the hall first, regardless of the light rain outside.

"Really, I feel that Cedric is becoming more and more like Oliver Wood." Fred came over and patted Kyle on the shoulder, trying to suppress his smile.

"Yeah, the pressure of being a leader is always great." George said, "Wood was much crazier than him before graduation. He wanted us to stay on the court every night, but unfortunately Professor McGonagall didn't allow it."

"But you still lost." Kyle said with a smile.

The two people's faces immediately darkened, and they glared at Kyle with gritted teeth.

It must be said that although Kyle's words sounded harsh, they could not refute it, and it was Hufflepuff who broke their hope of winning the championship.

"Enough, you can't have such good luck this year."

"Harry won't be fooled again!"

"Let's wait and see."

Although they are good friends, when it comes to Quidditch, there is always only winning and losing, no friends.

"Will you still participate in Quidditch this year?" Kyle asked curiously. "As far as I know, haven't you been busy with the Weasley Joke Shop?"

"Developing products, stocking up, choosing a store location... these are all things that require a lot of time and energy."

"Ah, yes, but it's okay. If I only attend three training sessions a week, I can still handle it." Fred rubbed his head.

Opening a joke shop is their dream, but when they began to gradually realize this dream, they found it so troublesome.

First of all, there is the problem of goods. Although they have made a lot of inventions, the number is still too shabby for opening a store.

So they must rack their brains to research more gadgets. Whether they are popular or not is another matter, at least they have to have them.

Zonko's joke shop has almost more than 200 products, and they can't be too different.

And the store location is also the most troublesome point.

Originally Sirius said he could help with the store, but now he is a bit busy with the Ministry of Magic, and he can't be distracted by this matter.

So the two of them wanted to do it themselves.

They decided on Diagon Alley, but the rent there was terribly high.

Although they are rich now, even renting two rooms is not a problem, but those are all golden Galleons, so they should save as much as possible.

Recently they have been discussing this matter, trying to find a store with a good location and relatively not so expensive... but the result is not very ideal.

But think about it, if there is such a good place, it is estimated that it has been occupied by others long ago, how can they get it.

So they plan to add a little start-up capital, so that they can find a suitable one.

It is a store selling owl nuts, but now most people choose to buy a small snack when buying a pet, so their business is not very good, and they are ready to move to another place.

But the location of that place is very good, at 93 Diagon Alley, next to Gringotts.

After the young wizards took the money, they were always generous... especially in the days before school started.

So the two have been hesitating recently.

Fortunately, they still have a year before graduation, so there is plenty of time to think about it slowly.

Kyle looked at Fred and George, who suddenly looked sad, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"Ah, no, we can do it ourselves." Fred shook his head, and then he seemed to think of something, and said vigilantly, "Don't try to use this trick to make us go easy on you, it's useless."

"Yeah." George raised his eyebrows, "No matter what, we can't give this year's Quidditch Cup to Hufflepuff again!"

"I should say this." Kyle said with a smile, and didn't ask any more questions.

Coincidentally, at this time, the other team members had basically left the auditorium with brooms. Mikel, who was walking at the back, urged outside the auditorium, and Kyle hurriedly followed.
