Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 669

 Chapter 669 Kyle being targeted

 Tonks did not leave with Tycross. Fudge seemed to be very aware of Umbridge's abilities, so as an Auror, her responsibilities were obviously heavier. In other words, 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 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 completely confused.

“This is a 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 butterbeer from behind her, shook them, and then closed the door.

“Why can girls enter the boys' dormitory...” Mikel muttered, “It's not fair!”

"You should tell the founder about this, or Professor McGonagall." Ryan didn't care that much, and said calmly: "There's no point in complaining to us, right?"

 “Then forget it.” Mikel shrugged.

Go and complain to Professor McGonagall: Why are boys not allowed to enter the girls' dormitory? He will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

 “Kyle.” He changed the subject: “Do you know that one…what's her name?”

 “Nymphadora Tonks.”

“Oh, yes, that's it.” Mikel nodded repeatedly, “Do you know her?”

“We know each other, we have met several times before.” Kyle said, sitting up from the bed, putting on a robe and walking out of the dormitory.

At this time, Tonks was already sitting on an armchair in the common room, placing bottles of butterbeer on the table like a big sister, and waving to the students around her:

 “You're welcome, just drink, I'm treating you.”

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

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

"What you're asking...don't forget that I'm also a Hufflepuff graduate, okay." Tonks said, "This place doesn't have a password like other colleges. Isn't it easy to get in?"

"That's right." Kyle nodded, but he had forgotten about it.

“I didn't expect that I could come back here after so many years of graduation.” Tonks handed Kyle a bottle of butterbeer, then opened one herself and took a long sip.

Then she seemed to feel that it was not enough, so she changed the butterbeer to mead with a higher alcohol content. While drinking, she looked at the furnishings in the common room nostalgically.

"It really hasn't changed at all here... Those pots of flowers on the shelf were there when I entered school, and they are still there... And these armchairs, see the one by the fireplace, I was there before. Sitting there to catch up on homework."

As expected, making up homework is a compulsory course for every Hufflepuff, even Tonks is no exception, only Cedric is out of tune with everyone.

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

At this moment, Tonks suddenly put the bottle on the table as if she was drunk, and said angrily:

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

Kyle was startled by the sudden complaint and subconsciously asked: "Who can I help?"

"Who else, Umbridge..." Tonks said, "Why can Kingsley investigate the Death Eaters? I obviously have an advantage over him..."

To increase her persuasiveness, Tonks turned her hair gray-white, her eyes became sinister, and she also had a few wrinkles on her face, making her look like an old witch who had been hiding in a dark room for many years.

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

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

"Are you sure?" Tonks glanced at Kyle, "It's safe to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?"

"Um..." Kyle was speechless for a moment, "At least Umbridge is in front of you, and technically you are just an assistant, so you shouldn't be qualified to be cursed."

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

“If you had to choose, would you like to track down Death Eaters or work with Umbridge at Hogwarts?”

 “At Hogwarts, of course.” Kyle said without thinking.

 “Are you serious?” Tonks changed back to her original appearance and asked in disbelief.

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

Kyle held the last bottle of Butterbeer in his hand, "How on earth did you decide who comes to Hogwarts? Did you draw lots?"

"of course not."

　　At this point, Tonks became even more angry, "As soon as I went to work today, I found that there was no one in the Auror office, and then I was sent here by Fudge.

“Damn it, no wonder Alastor and Kingsley are all temporarily busy, and no one goes to the Ministry of Magic. They already knew that the Minister would choose someone to come to Hogwarts today, but they didn't tell me!”

Kyle coughed twice and said nothing.

Tonks stayed in the common room until the early hours of the morning before finally leaving. This also caused Kyle to yawn several times 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 didn't wake up, but didn't you go back to the dormitory very early yesterday?"

“Yeah, but then I said I was called out,” Kyle said.

 "Tonks... um, Professor?"

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

They were classmates before, but suddenly they became professors when we met again. When Cedric first heard about this, he thought he was someone 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."

"Is it because of the curse?" Cedric asked after thinking for a moment, "Who is the other person, the one who teaches Apparition?"

"No, it's Umbridge," Kyle said. "Professor Tycross doesn't care, but Umbridge obviously doesn't want to be on an equal footing with the people who came to assist her."

At this moment, deafening cheers suddenly came from outside, interrupting their conversation.

“I think we should go out,” Cedric said. “How are you? Do you need a replacement?”

"No need." Kyle shook his head and stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth, "I just lost a few hours of sleep, it's okay."

 The door to the locker room opened, and they strode towards the middle of the court, the frosty grass crunching under their feet.

The Quidditch pitch was full of people, it was dark, and almost all the professors were here, which was rare in normal games.

Dumbledore was sitting in the middle of the teacher's chair. 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 at the teacher's desk, looking full of energy.

 Don't people who are Aurors have to sleep?

Kyle was speechless.

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

 They came to the middle of the court, and Ms. Huo Qi stood there, preparing to release the ball from the box. “Both captains shake hands,” she said.

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

 With a look of teasing in his eyes, Cedric stepped forward and shook hands with her.

"come on."

"the same as you."

“Oh, come on, tut tut…” Mikel muttered in a voice that everyone could hear: “The captains don't say harsh words to each other, I always feel that there is something missing in the game.”

Cedric and Qiu both pretended not to hear.

 Fortunately at this time, Ms. Huo Qi blew her whistle.

 The competition has officially begun,

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

“Okay, now they're leaving.” Li Qiaodan's voice came from the direction of the stands.

"Kyle got the Quaffle, and he dodged Bradley and Sturton... Oh, Ingleby seemed to be trying to stop Kyle's attack with the Bludger... but failed! Kyle dodged the Bludger. , now there is only the goalkeeper in front of him..."

 After a brief silence, the Hufflepuff audience burst into louder cheers again.

 “Go in! Hufflepuff scores!”

Li Jordan roared and said: "The Firebolt is so dazzling. It and Kyle are simply the best combination. Hufflepuff gained the advantage in less than a minute after the opening. Ravenclaw is in trouble... "

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

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

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

Kyle knew without even thinking that this Bludger probably wouldn't go looking for anyone else except himself.

Two Chasers and one Beater. He didn't expect that Ravenclaw would directly use half of its manpower in order to limit itself. No one else would receive this kind of treatment.

“Kyle slowed down...the Quaffle was taken by Debs, my God, I've never seen a game where the Chaser was the target instead of the Seeker.”

Li Qiaodan said excitedly: "But there is no doubt that Qiu Zhang's decision is correct. If Kyle is allowed to continue to score goals, I'm afraid the game will be over in twenty minutes. Even if they catch the Golden Snitch, Useless…

“But I say this is in vain, the Firebolt cannot be stopped by the Sweep series..."

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

Although one-sided games are also exciting, people will lose interest quickly. 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 is blocked by Bradley, and he passes 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 she flew past her. Grace nodded, moved 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 game, he might fire you.”

 “Then I'll be 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.” Mikel explained, then raised his arm.

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

“I should have listened to Weasley's advice and bought a new bat.” Mikel muttered. “The ones provided by the school are too old.”

 “Need to pause?”

"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, "Go and 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 were leaning on their brooms and speeding 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. There's a snitch!”

 Not many people listened to what he said. 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. Cedric and Qiu had already arrived next to them, and the distance was getting closer and closer, only less than a few feet away... two The people 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.

As soon as the audience realized what was happening, an excited uproar erupted.

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 team members hugged each other warmly in the air, and then fell back to the ground.

 Cedric shook hands with Qiu 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.”

Autumn was also amused.

Cedric is telling the truth. Although generally speaking, smaller seekers are definitely 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.
