Chapter 25: Roommates

Chapter 25: Roommates

"Anyway, that's all you need to pay attention to. As long as you pay attention to it in your daily life, you won't lose house points."

"But even if you occasionally neglect it and lose points, it doesn't matter. We Hufflepuffs don't care about that. As long as everyone is happy at Hogwarts, that's all that matters."

Prefect Harris talked eloquently among the crowd, while Kyle sat on the outermost edge, silently lowering his head.

"Kyle, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

At this time, Cedric walked over and casually handed him a glass of juice, "Fresh orange juice, it's a good choice to have a glass before bed."

Kyle didn't take it, and he didn't even raise his head. He just waved his hand at Cedric to show that he didn't need it.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"No, I just feel a little sleepy." Kyle still didn't raise his head and said in a slightly hurried tone, "And I don't like to drink anything before bed, you can ask someone else."

This unusual behavior naturally aroused Cedric's curiosity. He tentatively took two steps to the left but found that Kyle turned in the opposite direction almost at the same time.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

"Okay, then I'll go ask other freshmen." Cedric walked quickly to the side, then held his breath, lightened his footsteps, and walked around to Kyle again. After estimating the position, he quickly lay down on the ground.

Kyle was still thinking about when he could go back to the dormitory when suddenly a furry head appeared in front of him.

The two of them looked at each other...

"Kyle, what's wrong with your eye? Why is there such a big dark circle?"

"Nothing!"

Kyle quickly raised his hand to cover his left eye and said seriously, "I accidentally bumped into the table just now, it's normal to have some bruises."

"Can a bump be so round?" Cedric sat down on the ground and touched his chin, "It looks like you were punched."

"Impossible, you're thinking too much!" Kyle said seriously, "Even if you don't believe me, don't you believe in Hufflepuff? This is the warmest family in all of Hogwarts, how could there be such a violent person?"

"That's true, could it really be from a fall?" Cedric nodded in agreement.

He also didn't believe that anyone in Hufflepuff would beat up a freshman on the first day of school. That kind of thing usually only happens in Slytherin.

But he still didn't understand, if it was really from a fall, how could the "dark circle" be so round?

A natural talent?

Just as Cedric was puzzled, Prefect Harris was just finishing up.

"From today onwards, we are classmates. If you need any help, just say it, don't feel embarrassed."

"Hufflepuff is a warm family, and every senior, including myself, will help you."

"Now you must be tired, so I'll take you to your respective dormitories. Parvati, you're in charge of the girls."

Kyle was pardoned and quickly stood up from the sofa, following the large group. He didn't even say goodbye to Cedric before leaving.

Under Harris's guidance, Kyle quickly arrived at his dormitory.

Like the common room, the main colors here were also yellow and black.

Copper lamps cast a warm light on the four-poster beds in the dormitory, and there were copper bed warmers hanging on the walls, which could keep the little wizards' beds at the most comfortable temperature.

There were two other people in the same dormitory as him.

Michael Drake, a thin boy with black hair.

The other one was blond and relatively sturdy, named Ryan Parkins.

Well, both of them were unknown passersby.

As for the remaining bed, it was empty, presumably because there weren't enough new students.

Kyle tilted his head and briefly greeted the two of them before climbing into bed.

"Hey, this is amazing, isn't it? I'm a wizard." Michael sat on the edge of the bed and said excitedly, "None of my family can do magic. My dad sells drills, and my mom works in a bank, so when I first got the letter, I thought it was just a prank, but I didn't expect it to be real."

"Haha, Hogwarts... I still feel like I'm dreaming."

"I'm half and half, which is what wizards often call a half-blood."

Ryan, who had blond hair, echoed, "My dad is a wizard, and my mom is a Muggle. She was scared to death when she found out the truth."

"Of course, that's how it is for people who haven't been exposed to magic." Michael said, "You can't imagine it, when that professor named Quirrell appeared at our house, my parents almost called the police."

"He just stood in front of us like that, and said it was called... displacement... movement?"

"Apparition.," Kyle whispered a reminder from the side.

"Yes, that's right, Apparition."

Michael looked over and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Hey, I remember you, you're that Kyle Job who took twenty minutes to be sorted, right?"

"That's right, it's nice to meet you," Kyle replied.

"So, can you tell us what happened?" Michael asked curiously, "Why did your sorting take so long? Twenty minutes, longer than all the other new students combined."

"It's nothing." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "The Sorting Hat was just about where to put me, it couldn't make up its mind."

"So that's how it is." Michael sighed, "You must be outstanding to make that hat think for so long."

Kyle just smiled and didn't say anything.

He was outstanding, but it had nothing to do with the Sorting Hat.

And if Michael knew the real reason why the Sorting Hat wasp, he probably wouldn't have said that.

For the next eriod, Michael was like he was on steroids, talking non-stop.

He talked about Diagon Alley, Gringotts, and wand selection, and never stopped in between.

It seemed that becoming a wizard made him very happy.

At first, Kyle and Ryan could still say a few words, but gradually, only Michael's voice was left in the dormitory.

There was no other way, they couldn't keep up.

They were already sleepy after eating, and they had been on the train for more than ten hours, so it was not easy for them to stay awake until now.

Kyle also wanted to talk to his roommates to enhance their friendship, but the bed was too comfortable, and he fell into a deep sleep unconsciously.

Ryan next to him fell asleep even faster, and there had been no movement from him for five minutes.
