Chapter 25: Roommate
"In short, there are so many things that need to be paid attention to. As long as everyone pays more attention, you will not have your House points deducted."
"But even if you are occasionally negligent and get deducted points, it doesn't matter. We Hufflepuffs don't value this, as long as everyone is happy at Hogwarts."
Prefect Harris was talking among the crowd while Kyle was sitting on the outer edge, his head lowered without saying a word.
"Kyle, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."
At this time, Cedric came over, handed him a glass of juice, and said. "Fresh orange juice, a glass before going to bed is definitely a good choice."
Kyle didn't answer, didn't even raise his head, and just waved his hand at Cedric, indicating that he didn't need it.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, I just feel a little sleepy." Kyle still didn't look up and said in a slightly urgent tone. "And I don't like to drink before going to bed. You can ask other people about it."
This unusual move naturally aroused Cedric's curiosity. He took two tentative steps to the left, only to find that Kyle turned in the opposite direction almost at the same time.
Something is wrong, 12 out of 10.
"Okay, then I'll go ask the other freshmen." Cedric walked quickly to the side, held his breath, kept his steps as light as possible, and then walked around to Kyle again. After estimating the position, he quickly walked to the ground. Once lying down.
Kyle was still thinking about when he could go back to the Dormitory, but suddenly, a furry head appeared in front of his eyes.
The two looked at each other...
"Kyle, what's wrong with your eyes? Why do you have 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 bruises."
"Can it be so round?" Cedric sat on the ground, touched his chin, and said. "It looks like you were punched."
"Impossible, you are thinking too much!" Kyle said seriously. "Even if you don't believe me, don't you still believe Hufflepuff? This is the warmest family in the entire Hogwarts. How could it be possible? Such a violent person."
"That's true. Did you really fall?" Cedric nodded in agreement.
He also didn't believe that Hufflepuffs senior would beat up new students on the first day of school, something that usually only happened in Slytherin.
But he still didn't understand why the "black eye" would be so round if he really fell.
Gifted?
Just when Cedric was puzzled, Prefect Harris just finished.
"From today on, we are classmates. If you need help with anything, just say it. Don't feel embarrassed. Hufflepuff is a warm family, and every senior, including me, will help you."
"You must be sleepy now. Now I will take you to your respective Dorm. Patty, you will be in charge of the girls' side."
Kyle, as if he had been granted amnesty, quickly stood up from the sofa and followed the large army. He didn't even say hello to Cedric before leaving.
Under the leadership of Harris, Kyle quickly arrived at his Dorm.
Like the common room, the main colors here are yellow and black.
The copper lamp casts a warm light on the four-poster bed in the Dormitory, and a copper bed warmer is hung on the wall, which can keep the little wizard's bed at the most comfortable temperature.
There were two other people in the same Dorm with him.
Mikel Drake is a thin, dark-haired boy.
The other one is blond and relatively muscular, named Ryan Baggins.
Well, both of them are unknown passers-by.
As for the remaining bed, it is empty. It must be because there are not enough new students.
Kyle tilted his head and climbed into bed after briefly greeting the two of them.
"Hey, this is really amazing, isn't it? I am actually a wizard." Mikel sat on the edge of the bed and said enthusiastically. "None of our family knows magic. My father sells drill rigs and my mother works in a bank. So when I first thought about the letter, I thought it was just a prank, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Haha, Hogwarts... I still think I am dreaming. "
"I'm half-and-half, which is what wizards often call half-blood."
Ryan, who has blond hair, echoed. "My dad is a wizard and my mom is a Muggle, and she was horrified when she found out the truth."
"Of course, this is the case for people who have never been exposed to magic." Mikel said. "You may not imagine that when the Professor named Quirrell showed up at our house, my parents almost called the police."
"He was just like that, suddenly standing in front of us, and said what is that called a change of position...movement? "
"Apparition." Kyle reminded quietly from the side.
"Yes, that's right, it's Apparition."
Mikel looked over, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said. "Hey, I remember you, you are the student who took twenty minutes to complete the sorting, right?"
"Yes, nice to meet you." Kyle replied.
"Well, can you tell us what happened?" Mikel asked curiously. "Why did your sorting take so long, twenty minutes, which is longer than all the freshmen combined."
"It's nothing." Kyle thought for a moment and said. "It's just that the Sorting Hat is always struggling with where to sort me and has never made up its mind."
"So that's it." Mikel said with emotion. "You must be very good if you can make that hat think about it for so long."
Kyle just smiled and said nothing.
That's for sure that he is excellent, but the Sorting Hat has nothing to do with it.
And if Mikel knew the real reason for the Sorting Hat's confusion, he probably wouldn't say this.
For the next period of time, Mikel kept talking.
From Diagon Alley to Gringotts, and from Gringotts to choosing a wand, there is no stopping in between.
It seemed that becoming a wizard really made him very happy.
In the beginning, Kyle and Ryan could still talk a few words, but gradually, Mikel's voice was the only voice left in the Dorm.
There's nothing they can do, they can't stand it.
Kyle was already feeling sleepy after eating a full meal. In addition, he had been on a train for more than ten hours before. It has not been easy to stay energetic until now.
Kyle also wanted to talk to his roommate to enhance friendship or something. Still, the bed was too comfortable, and he fell into a deep sleep unknowingly.
Ryan, next to him, fell asleep faster, and there was no movement five minutes ago.
