Chapter 166: Not as Good as the Fish in the Black Lake

The popularity of Quidditch in Hogwarts lasted for a long time. The relevant books in the library were quickly borrowed out, and people who wanted to borrow books had to wait until after Christmas.

"I should have come earlier if I had known."

At the door of the second-floor library, Harry said with some annoyance.

Tomorrow night at 7 o'clock is his special training time. He had wanted to look at the relevant books in advance and learn more about this knowledge.

As a result, the librarian Madam Pince told him that there were no more books. If he wanted to read them, he could only wait until after Christmas.

But it is still several months away from Christmas, and the time is too long.

"There is no way." Ron said with a smile: "Everyone is discussing Quidditch. If you don't know anything, you will be laughed at."

As he spoke, Ron unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth.

Because he knows something about Quidditch, and he has two brothers from the college team, he can be said to be quite popular these days. Wherever he goes, there are a group of little wizards around him.

This feeling of being paid attention to and valued by everyone is something he has never experienced before.

"How about we go ask Hermione?"

Harry said tentatively: "I remember she had a copy of Quidditch: The Magical Game, but I don't know if she's returned it."

"I think we should forget it."

When Ron heard the name, his grinning mouth suddenly retracted.

He frowned and said bitterly: "She hasn't spoken to us for a long time since she came back from the fourth floor that day.

And Gryffindor knows that Hermione never borrows books for more than three days. "

After Ron said that, Harry also remembered... Hermione was indeed like this.

Since the first day of school, she always carried two books with her, one was the textbook needed for class, and the other was borrowed from the library.

She was not pretending, but really reading.

In addition, when she was in the common room, she rarely communicated with other young wizards, and always sat alone in the corner reading quietly.

I don't know who first discovered that she basically changed the books she borrowed from the library every three days.

Seamus Finnigan had vowed to bet with the two of them that she couldn't hold on for a month.

But judging from the current situation, he probably lost. As long as Hermione changed another book tomorrow, he would have to buy a box of Bebe's Every Flavour Beans for everyone in the dormitory.

Harry didn't care about a box of candy, but he still couldn't figure out how Hermione could finish a book in two or three days.

For him, even finishing a book in two weeks was a difficult task.

"Forget it. Harry sighed.

In fact, he was also afraid of meeting Hermione. The invisible aura of the academic master always made him nervous.

"Why not ask Kyle?"

At this time, Ron suddenly said, "I heard from Fred and George that he has books about Quidditch, and more than one."

Harry was a little tempted, but still hesitated, "But I don't know Kyle. Will he lend me books?"

"Don't worry, I'm here." Ron patted his chest, then pulled Harry downstairs.

"And you have to try to know if it works... Come with me, we'll go find him now."

The two searched around the castle, from the underground classroom to the astronomy tower, but didn't find Kyle.

I don't know why, even the twins and Cedric seemed to have disappeared.

Finally, when he was on the astronomy tower, Harry accidentally glanced outside the castle and saw several people fishing by the Black Lake.

…

“So, you came to me to borrow Quidditch books?”

Beside the Black Lake, Kyle looked at the panting duo and asked, “Isn’t there a book in the library? The collection there is much richer than mine, you can just go and borrow it.”

“It’s all borrowed.” Harry took a breath and said nervously, “Mrs. Pince said we have to wait until after Christmas to get it.”

On the way here, Ron had said that he could borrow the book, but Harry thought it would be better to ask in person.

After all, it was him who really wanted to read the book, not Ron.

“Are Quidditch books so popular now?”

Kyle looked at Harry’s nervous face and didn’t say much, and took out his wand directly.

“The Origin of Quidditch is flying here!”

Not long after, a thick book drew an arc in the air and fell lightly into Kyle’s hands.

"You can read this one first."

Kyle handed the book to Harry, "There are some flying instructions in it, which are more suitable for novices like you."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Harry took it quickly, "I will return it to you as soon as possible."

Kyle waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't need this book now, you can read it."

Harry thanked him again, and then he and Ron returned to the castle.

After they left, Kyle turned his head to look at Fred and George next to him, wondering, "What's wrong with you?"

Ron took the initiative to greet them when they met just now, but the twins didn't even turn their heads as if they didn't hear it.

This is a bit abnormal.

Although Fred and George like to tease their little brother, they have never ignored him, and they will always perfunctorily say a few words.

"Nothing, I just don't want to talk to him." Fred sighed.

"We used to think Ron was not smart, but we never thought he was so stupid."

"Why..." Kyle seemed to smell the smell of melon.

George asked: "Remember the last time we met them on the fourth floor?"

Kyle nodded. Not only did he remember, he had also seen them with his own eyes.

"We have inquired."

Fred said: "They agreed to a wizard duel with Malfoy, so they went to the fourth floor."

"Wizard duel?" Cedric said subconsciously: "Slytherin will not easily issue a wizard duel. This sounds like a trap."

"Who said it wasn't."

George shook his head and said: "Curfew time, on the fourth floor where it is most easily discovered, wizard duel... These three things together, even goblins can see that it is a trap."

"But Ron actually believed it..."

"Merlin, is he really a Weasley?"

"Uh..." Cedric opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say a few fair words for Ron, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, Charlie, Percy and the twins are all very smart. In comparison, Ron's brain is indeed not very bright.

"Straight hooks can bite..." Fred shook the fishing rod in his hand and said: "He is not even as good as the fish in the Black Lake!"
