Chapter 669 Kyle Is Targeted

Tonks did not leave with Tycross. Fudge seemed to know Umbridge's ability very well, so as an Auror, her responsibility was obviously heavier, or she was the real Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the future.

Although she strongly opposed this and repeatedly emphasized that she was only here to assist Umbridge, Professor McGonagall still arranged for her to stay at Hogwarts.

So that night, she sneaked into the Hufflepuff common room.

When Kyle saw her in the dormitory, he was stunned.

"This is the boys' dormitory!" Mikel was also startled. He covered himself with the curtains beside the bed, leaving only his head exposed.

"Of course I know, you can't enter the girls' dormitory." Tonks said nonchalantly, "Okay, come out quickly, I brought good things."

She took out several large bottles of butter beer from behind and shook them, then closed the door.

"Why can girls enter the boys' dormitory..." Mikel muttered, "This is unfair!"

"You should tell the founder, or Professor McGonagall." Ryan didn't care so much, and said calmly: "It's useless to complain to us?"

"Then forget it." Mikel shrugged.

Going to complain to Professor McGonagall why boys are not allowed to enter the girls' dormitory? He will definitely be in trouble.

"Kyle." He changed the subject and said, "Do you know that...what's her name?"

"Nymphadora Tonks."

"Oh, that's it." Mikel nodded repeatedly, "Do you know her?"

"Yes, we have met a few times before." Kyle said, sitting up from the bed, wearing a robe and walking out of the dormitory.

At this time, Tonks was already sitting in the armchair in the common room. She placed bottles of butter beer on the table like a big sister and waved to the students around her:

"Don't be polite, drink it, I'll treat you."

Because only the sixth graders attended the Apparition class in the morning, most people didn't know her yet, so the people who stayed in the common room just looked at Tonks in confusion, and no one moved.

"How did you get in?" Kyle walked over and sat opposite her and asked.

"You asked this question... Don't forget that I also graduated from Hufflepuff, okay." Tonks said, "There is no password here like other colleges, isn't it easy to get in?"

"That's right." Kyle nodded, he actually forgot about this.

"I didn't expect that I could come back here after so many years of graduation." Tonks handed Kyle a bottle of butter beer, then opened one herself and took a big sip.

Then, as if she still felt unsatisfied, she replaced the butterbeer with a stronger honey wine, and while drinking, she looked at the furnishings in the common room with nostalgia.

"It really hasn't changed at all here... The pots of flowers on the shelf were there when I entered school, and they are still there now... And these armchairs, see the one by the fireplace? I used to sit there to do my homework."

Sure enough, doing homework is a compulsory course for every Hufflepuff, even Tonks is no exception. Only Cedric doesn't fit in with everyone.

Gradually, there are fewer and fewer people in the common room, and soon only Kyle and Tonks are left.

Until this time, Tonks suddenly put the bottle on the table like she was drunk and said angrily:

"You said, there are so many people in the Ministry, why do I have to help that woman..."

Kyle was startled by this sudden complaint and asked subconsciously: "Help who?"

"Who else, Umbridge..." Tonks said, "Why can Kingsley investigate the Death Eaters, I obviously have more advantages than him..."

In order to increase the persuasiveness, Tonks turned her hair gray, her eyes became sinister, and her face had a few more wrinkles, which made her look like an old witch who had been hiding in a small dark room for many years.

At this time, Kyle also understood. She was still entangled with what Tycross said in the morning and came to complain to herself.

"There are also advantages to coming to Hogwarts..." Kyle said, "At least it's safe enough here, you don't have to worry every day, right?"

"Are you sure?" Tonks glanced at Kyle, "Is it safe to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?"

"Uh..." Kyle was speechless for a moment, "At least Umbridge is ahead of you, and strictly speaking, you are just an assistant, you should not be qualified to be cursed."

"I'm not worried about that." Tonks waved her hand, "If Sirius was still a professor, I would definitely come here without saying anything, but Umbridge... To be honest, no one in the Ministry of Magic wants to work with her. It's simply a torture, more annoying than a curse.

"If you were given a choice, would you rather track down Death Eaters or work with Umbridge at Hogwarts."

"Of course at Hogwarts." Kyle said without hesitation.

"Are you serious? "Tonks turned back to her original form and asked in disbelief.

"Nonsense, I'm only in sixth grade now, do you think anyone would let me leave school to track down some Death Eaters?"

Kyle took the last bottle of butter beer in his hand, "By the way, how did you decide who would come to Hogwarts, by drawing lots?"

"Of course not."

Speaking of this, Tonks became even angrier, "When I went to work today, I found that there was no one in the Auror's office, and then Fudge sent me here.

"Damn it, no wonder Alastor and Kingsley both had something urgent to do, and no one went to the Ministry of Magic. They knew that the Minister would select people to come to Hogwarts today, but they didn't tell me!"

Kyle coughed twice and didn't speak.

...

Tonks stayed in the common room until the early morning before finally leaving. This also caused Kyle to yawn several times in a row when he came to the court the next day.

"What's wrong with you, are you okay..." Cedric asked nervously: "Why do I feel like you haven't woken up, but didn't you go back to the dormitory early yesterday?"

"Yes, but then you said you were called out." Kyle said.

"Tonks... um, professor? "

Obviously, Cedric had also heard about this, but he was still a little bit unaccustomed to the change in the other party's identity.

They were classmates before, and suddenly they became professors when they met again. When Cedric first heard about this, he thought they were people with the same name.

"You'd better call her teaching assistant." Kyle rubbed his eyes, "If you call her professor, both of them will be unhappy."

"Because of the curse?" Cedric thought for a moment and asked, "Then who is the other person, the one who teaches Apparition, Tekros?"

"No, it's Umbridge." Kyle said, "Professor Tekros doesn't care about this, but Umbridge obviously doesn't want to be on an equal footing with the person who comes to assist her."

At this time, a deafening cheer suddenly came from outside, interrupting their conversation.

"I think we should go out." Cedric said, "How are you, do you need to change someone?"

"No." Kyle shook his head and stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth, "Just a few hours less sleep, it's okay. "

The door of the locker room opened, and they strode to the center of the field, the frosted grass creaking under their feet.

The Quidditch field was full of people, and almost all the professors were there, which was rare in normal games.

Dumbledore sat in the middle of the teacher's seat. When Kyle looked over, he smiled and waved.

"Come on! Hufflepuff, come on!"

Tonks' hair turned half yellow and half black, and she shouted loudly in the teacher's seat, looking full of energy.

Don't Aurors need to sleep?

Kyle was a little speechless.

However, led by Tonks, the Hufflepuff audience became more and more excited, and the cheers directly drowned out the Ravenclaws next to them.

They came to the center of the field, where Madam Hooch was standing, preparing to release the ball from the box.

"The captains of both sides shook hands. "She said.

It is worth mentioning that Roger Davis, the captain of Ravenclaw, was injured in yesterday's Care of Magical Creatures class and did not come to participate in the competition, so today's team is led by Qiu.

Amidst a teasing look, Cedric stepped forward and shook hands with her.

"Come on."

"You too."

"Oh, come on, tut tut..." Mikel muttered in a voice that everyone could hear: "Captains don't talk tough, I always feel that the game is missing something."

Cedric and Qiu pretended not to hear.

Fortunately, at this time, Madam Hooch blew her whistle.

The game officially started,

Amid the sudden cheers, Kyle and others flew into the air and easily caught the thrown Quaffle.

"Okay, now they are off." Lee Jordan's voice came from the stands.

"Kyle got the Quaffle, he dodged Bradley and Stirton... Oh, Ingleby seemed to want to use the Bludger to stop Kyle's attack... Failed! Kyle dodged the Bludger, and now he has only the goalkeeper in front of him..."

After a short silence, the Hufflepuff audience burst into a louder cheer again.

"Goal! Hufflepuff scored!"

Lee Jordan shouted: "The Firebolt is really amazing. It and Kyle are the best combination. Hufflepuff has gained the advantage in less than a minute. Ravenclaw is in trouble..."

"Stop him! "Qiu anxiously looked for the Snitch, and shouted loudly: "Just like we trained before, Bradley, you take Davis's position..."

Under Qiu's arrangement, two Ravenclaw chasers immediately came to Kyle, one in front and one behind, trying to sandwich him in the middle.

At the same time, the Bludger also flew over from the side.

Kyle knew without thinking that the Bludger probably wouldn't look for anyone else except himself.

Two chasers and one beater, he didn't expect Ravenclaw to directly dispatch half of its manpower in order to restrict himself. This treatment is also unique.

"Kyle slowed down... The Quaffle was taken by Debes, my God, I have never seen a game that targets the chaser instead of the seeker."

Lee Jordan said excitedly: "But there is no doubt that Qiu Zhang's decision is correct. If Kyle is allowed to continue scoring, I am afraid that the game can be declared over in twenty minutes. At that time, even if they catch the Snitch, it will be useless...

"But if you ask me, this is futile. The Firebolt is not something that can be stopped by the Sweep series..."

Of course, Kyle also knew that the Firebolt was much faster than the Sweep and could easily tear through Ravenclaw's encirclement with just a slight acceleration, but he was not prepared to do so.

Although one-sided games are also exciting, people will quickly lose interest. Only by going back and forth can the enthusiasm of the audience be ignited to the greatest extent.

Moreover, since he scored all the points, the rest of the team would have no sense of participation. They have been training for so long, so they can’t just be the background all the time...

So Kyle cooperated and slowed down. Anyway, he was dragging three people by himself, and the advantage was still on Hufflepuff's side, so there was no rush.

Sure enough, Debs, who was alone, only flew for a while, and the Quaffle in his hand was snatched away.

"Now it's Grace who has the ball. This girl is also a good player. She wants to pass the ball to Kyle... Oh, the Quaffle was blocked by Bradley, and he passed it to Debs."

"Don't worry about me, I'll hold the three of them down, and you're responsible for scoring!" Kyle shouted to Grace as he flew past her. Grace nodded, flicked the broom and went after Debs.

"Hey, Kyle." At this time, Mikel also flew over. He shook the wooden stick in his hand and said half-jokingly: "Should we target Qiu? If I knock her off the broom , I won’t be expelled from the team.”

"Cedric isn't that narrow-minded," Kyle replied, "but if you don't target the Seeker for a whole round, he might fire you."

"Then I'm relieved." Mikel said with a smile. He swung his wooden stick and hit the Bludger hard towards Qiu, but whether it was intentional or not, the Bludger flew directly over Qiu's head.

"You'd better be serious," Kyle said. "If we lose this game, Hufflepuff will become a joke."

"I'm serious, it's the bat problem," Mikel explained, then raised his arm.

Sure enough, there was an extra crack in the bat.

"I should listen to Weasley's advice and buy a new bat." Mikel muttered: "The ones provided by the school are too old."

"Need a timeout?"

"No need." Mikel shook his head, "I should be able to hold on until the end of the game. Do you need my help?"

"I can do it myself..." Kyle raised his head to avoid another Bludger, "You go help Grace."

"Okay!" Mikel nodded and flew towards another Bludger.

…

With Kyle holding down the three Ravenclaws, the Hufflepuff team's other two Chasers were getting better and better in this game. They could score a goal every few minutes. After half an hour, the score was It has come to 130 to 20.

Although the gap is also huge, at least Ravenclaw still has a chance, if they can catch the Golden Snitch...

Ten minutes later, Hufflepuff scored two more goals... At this time, Qiu and Cedric, who had been hovering in the air, moved almost at the same time.

They leaned on their brooms and sped in the same direction.

In an instant, the entire stadium fell silent.

"It's the Golden Snitch, right in front of them!" Li Jordan shouted loudly: "Whether Hufflepuff can win with an absolute advantage, or Ravenclaw can reverse defeat at the last moment, it depends on who of them can catch the golden snitch. It’s a thief!”

Not many people listened to him, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on the two seekers.

Kyle watched the Golden Snitch fly around the Ravenclaw goal post and towards the other side of the stands, while Cedric and Autumn were already nearby, getting closer and closer to less than a few feet away... The two of them reached out their hands at the same time and grabbed forward.

The final whistle sounded...

"Who is it!" Li Qiaodan asked anxiously, his upper body almost leaning out of the stands.

Under the gaze of everyone, Cedric suddenly raised his hand, and between his fingers, a pair of wings were flapping feebly.

When the audience realized what was happening, there was an uproar of excitement.

Tonks stood up excitedly and conjured a Hufflepuff flag in mid-air. She suddenly felt that coming to Hogwarts would be a good idea.

The players hugged each other passionately in the air before falling back to the ground.

Cedric shook Cho's hand again.

"What a pity, we almost turned defeat into victory." Qiu said pretending not to care.

"Yeah," Cedric said with a smile, "Thanks my arms are an inch longer than yours."

Qiu was also amused.

Cedric was telling the truth. Although generally speaking, smaller Seekers must be faster, but long hands are also another advantage at critical times.

The Hufflepuff players stood together, pumping their fists in the air and waving to their supporters.
