00:00Welcome to the Dream Novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip.

00:18making clips. Let's go listen. Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 26, Ratan.
00:26Early the next morning, Kyle was forced out of bed by the bright sunlight streaming through
00:31the dormitory's round window. Since he hadn't drawn the curtains the previous night,
00:36the sunbeams hit him squarely in the face like a spotlight. How was anyone supposed to sleep like
00:42that? Grudgingly, Kyle got dressed and stretched, then walked over to the window. Although Hogwarts
00:49Castle is partly underground, the dormitory was situated in a sunny part of the structure.
00:54From the circular window, he could see the grass and dandelions swaying outside in the morning
01:00breeze. Kyle glanced at his two roommates, who were still fast asleep, and without a second thought,
01:06opened the window as wide as it would go. There were only five years until the OWL's exam,
01:13how could they still be sleeping at a time like this? Besides, it was already half past seven,
01:19which might as well have been 8.50 in his mind, with only a few minutes left before classes began
01:24at nine o'clock. Since this was their very first day of lessons at Hogwarts, they couldn't afford to
01:30make a bad impression on the professors by being late. And what better way to wake up than with the
01:36fresh morning air, with its hint of moisture. I'm really considerate, Kyle nodded to himself in
01:41satisfaction. He was genuinely thinking of his roommates. It wasn't that he wanted them to get
01:48up early with him, after all, a Hufflepuff like him would never do something like that.
01:53After a quick wash, Kyle left the dormitory and made his way through the passage toward the common
01:58room. As everyone knows, the stairs at Hogwarts have a mind of their own. They seem to move at the
02:06most inconvenient times, often leaving students stranded or extending to unexpected floors,
02:11all while silently enjoying the wizard's despair. Kyle was ready to make several trips around the
02:17castle, anticipating that the stairs might cause trouble. But, much to his surprise, the stairs
02:23stayed in place the entire time. He walked from the common room to the great hall without a single
02:29shift or jolt. The entire journey was eerily quiet. To be honest, Kyle was a little disappointed.
02:37He had kind of been looking forward to experiencing the infamous moving stairs for himself.
02:43Even though it wasn't yet 8 o'clock, the great hall already had quite a few students seated for
02:48breakfast. The Ravenclaw table, in particular, was nearly full, while a few older students from other
02:54houses were scattered around. Only the Hufflepuff table remained mostly empty, except for Kyle.
03:02As soon as he sat down, a steaming breakfast appeared on the plate in front of him.
03:07A glass of milk, two sausages, and a piece of bread. It wasn't much, but it was just right,
03:14and he could always have more if he wanted. Kyle ate his breakfast slowly, savoring the quiet.
03:20Before long, two familiar figures appeared in the doorway of the great hall, walking in one after
03:26the other. Hey, Kyle, what are you doing up so early? Mikel and Ryan hurried over to join him.
03:34I didn't want to get up early either, Kyle said calmly, cutting into his sausage.
03:40But the window in our dorm room was open, and the wind was blowing in, so it got too cold to sleep.
03:45Without missing a beat, he asked, what about you two? Why are you up so early?
03:52We're in the same boat, Mikel said with a bitter expression.
03:56I was wondering if you were the one who opened the window.
04:00The window was open when I left, Kyle emphasized the words, when I left.
04:05Oh, I see. Then it must have been the wind, Mikel said, taking a large bite of bread.
04:11But I guess it was a good thing in the end. I didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the
04:18morning. If the window hadn't been open, I definitely wouldn't have woken up before nine.
04:24Imagine being late for the first class. I shudder to think what would have happened.
04:30I probably would have been expelled right on the spot. Ryan, who was eating beside him,
04:36nodded in agreement. He usually got up around eight at home, but only because his mother
04:41dragged him out of bed. If he'd slept in until he naturally woke up, he likely wouldn't have made
04:47it to their first class either. Kyle smiled slyly and said, then you two should really
04:52thank the kind person who helped open the window. Yes, definitely, Mikel said, nodding sleepily as
04:59he chewed on his breakfast, not noticing anything unusual in Kyle's comment. It really helped a lot.
05:06Kyle took his final sip of milk, then stood up. Well, you two enjoy your breakfast.
05:14I'm going to go explore the area a bit. Okay, they both replied in unison, still groggy.
05:21After bidding farewell to his roommates, who were still focused on their breakfast,
05:25Kyle made his way straight to the castle gates. It was just past eight o'clock, so he had plenty of
05:31time before class started. While he still had some time, he decided to deal with his pet problem
05:37first. There was already a cat and a toad in the dormitory, and he couldn't afford to be the only
05:43one without a companion. Stepping out through the castle gates, Kyle raised his arm skillfully.
05:50In an instant, seven or eight owls swooped in from all directions, landing neatly on the stone steps in
05:56front of him. This time, it's not about sending a letter, Kyle said, addressing the group of owls.
06:03I'm going to be at Hogwarts for quite some time, and I'd like to hire one of you as my personal
06:08messenger during my stay. In return, well, meals will be included, at least one package of owl nuts
06:15per day, three packages of myrtlap dried rat meat per week, and one bottle of owl tonic per month,
06:21for now. If you need anything else, just ask. Oh, and this arrangement will continue even after I
06:29graduate, until the day you can no longer lift your wings. Kyle paused, letting his offer sink in.
06:36So, how about it? If any of you are interested, just fly up onto my shoulder. Owls in the wizarding
06:44world had a natural affinity for magic, especially those trained to be special messengers. With a bit
06:50of body language and Kyle's clear instructions, the owls were able to understand about 70-80% of what
06:56he said. Almost immediately, chaos broke out. The owls scrambled to reach Kyle's shoulder, with some
07:03of the slower ones even attacking the others in their haste. Feathers flew everywhere as the owls
07:09fought for position, and Kyle found himself scratching his head, trying to calm the frenzy. But it was too
07:15late, the situation had spiraled beyond his control. Thankfully, the chaos didn't last long.
07:23A large brown fishing owl, towering over the others with its imposing size, easily overpowered the
07:29competition. It stood proudly on Kyle's shoulder, victorious. Kyle recognized the owl immediately.
07:38About three years ago, Chris had found this owl near death, battered and covered in wounds,
07:42clutching an undelivered letter in its claws at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic's mail
07:47collection counter. Chris had acted quickly, taking the owl home and nursing it back to health
07:53over the course of more than half a month. Despite his best efforts, however, the owl was left with a
07:59long, narrow scar across its face, a permanent reminder of the dark magic that had injured it.
08:05Neither Chris nor Newt had been able to remove or conceal the scar, which made the owl look somewhat,
08:10ugly compared to its peers. But Kyle didn't care about appearances. He reached out and scratched
08:17the brown fishing owl's neck feathers, grinning. Hello, Ratten. The owl tilted its head, gently rubbing
08:26Kyle's finger with its beak. Ratten was the nickname Kyle had given him early on, back when he didn't know
08:32the owl's real name. It had stuck, and Ratten had even come to recognize it. Kyle remembered when Hagrid
08:39came to fetch him one time and had spent over half an hour calling, Sabin, Sabin, in the nearby woods
08:45without getting a response. But the moment Kyle quietly whispered, Ratten, the owl had flown out
08:51leisurely, much to Hagrid's shock. Hagrid had been so stunned that he stood there, speechless, unable to
08:58recover for a long time. It was as if Kyle had stolen the owl that Hagrid had worked so hard to care for,
09:05leaving the gentle giant looking thoroughly devastated. Channel dream novel. Chapter 27,
09:13First Class. Although Kyle never had to worry about delivering letters personally, having his own owl
09:19at Hogwarts was still a good idea. In the wizarding world, owls served a similar function to phone
09:25numbers in the muggle world, they often represented the identity of their owner. And that was still quite
09:31important. Take, for instance, Kyle's mother, Diana, who worked in the Department of Mysteries at the
09:37Ministry of Magic. This department had very strict security protocols, and letters sent there were
09:44meticulously screened. The ministry would check everything, from the identity and status of the
09:49owl, to the sender's details, and even the letter itself, ensuring there were no hidden jinxes or
09:55magical substances. Only after everything was confirmed would the letter be delivered to the
10:00Department of Mysteries, often in the form of a paper airplane. Even Kyle's letters weren't exempt
10:06from this process, though they were expedited due to his connection. With the efficiency of the
10:12Ministry of Magic, this entire screening process could take at least a day. But with Raton, things were
10:19different. Diana could apply to have him registered as a special owl. This status would grant priority
10:26processing, and the screening could be simplified. Instead of the full inspection, they would only need
10:32to verify the owl's status, the sender's identity, and perform a basic check for jinxes, all of which could
10:38be done on the spot. Diana had reminded Kyle of this when they were at Platform 9 and 3 quarters, telling him to
10:45use the same owl consistently for his letters, or else he'd need to buy one from Diagon Alley.
10:51Naturally, Kyle had no intention of buying an owl when he already had Raton. Problem solved.
10:58Kyle took some owl nuts from his mokeskin pouch, along with a few bags of myrtlap-dried rat jerky,
11:04and offered them to the group of owls. He also grabbed some water, added two bottles of owl tonic,
11:10stirred it well, and poured the mixture into a stone trough nearby.
11:15This was their payment for the trouble, they couldn't be expected to lose their feathers for
11:20nothing. While the owls feasted, Kyle took Raton back to the castle and headed straight for the
11:25Hufflepuff common room. Passing the barrels in the kitchen corridor, he returned to the dormitory,
11:31but Mikkel and Ryan were already gone, likely off to class. Not giving it much thought, Kyle placed
11:38Raton on the shelf beside his bed, grabbed his textbooks, and left. In the common room, he ran into
11:45Cedric, who was also getting ready to head out. Kyle, I was just about to look for you,
11:51Cedric said, approaching quickly. What's your first class?
11:56Charms, Kyle replied, shaking the standard book of spells, beginner's level in his hand.
12:01Why do you ask? Oh, right. Here, Cedric said, handing Kyle a piece of parchment.
12:10This is a map of Hogwarts that the class rep gave me when I first enrolled.
12:14It marks the classrooms and some of the stairway changes.
12:18I don't need it anymore, so I figured you could use it.
12:23Hogwarts was impressive in many ways, but it was undeniably huge and confusing.
12:28The interior was like a maze, and it wasn't uncommon for first years to get lost.
12:34Being late to class, as a result, was a common issue.
12:38Fortunately, most professors were understanding of this, and aside from one strict dean,
12:43they tended to either turn a blind eye, give a light verbal warning, or deduct a point or two,
12:48without taking it too seriously. Kyle unfolded the parchment and examined it closely.
12:55Though it was just an ordinary map, it was incredibly detailed. It clearly marked all the
13:01routes from the Hufflepuff common room to each classroom and even indicated where to wait for
13:05the stairs to shift before continuing. It was like a simplified version of a live map,
13:10but good enough for Kyle's needs. Thanks, I really needed this, Kyle said as he tucked the map
13:17away. By the way, what class do you have first? I have potions. Wait, potions.
13:26Cedric's eyes widened in sudden realization, and before Kyle could say anything more,
13:31Cedric took off running. I'll go ahead, Kyle. Just remember, never be late for potions class.
13:39That's the most important thing at Hogwarts. Cedric's voice faded as he disappeared down
13:45the corridor, his panic clear from his hurried departure. Kyle couldn't help but think Snape
13:51must have left a deep psychological scar on Cedric, or perhaps on many young wizards.
13:57He suspected he might not be able to escape Snape's wrath either.
14:01Too bad Harry Potter didn't enroll a year earlier.
14:03That would have been great, Kyle muttered to himself, shaking his head. With that,
14:10he left the common room, heading to his first class. Charm's classroom was on the third floor,
14:16and it was easy for Kyle to find, thanks to the map Cedric had given him. As he entered the
14:22classroom, the first thing he noticed was a stack of books arranged in the shape of a staircase,
14:26with four portraits of wizards hanging on the wall. Though they were likely famous figures,
14:33Kyle didn't recognize any of them. On either side of the room, the emblems of the four Hogwarts houses
14:39were displayed, while further inside were long tables for the students. When Kyle arrived,
14:45there were still five minutes before class began. He wasn't early, but surprisingly, there weren't many
14:51students in the room yet, and even Professor Flittick was nowhere to be seen. Kyle found a seat,
14:58noting that the room was divided between Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws, with the latter sitting opposite him.
15:04As nine o'clock approached, more students rushed in, panting from their sprint to class.
15:10Kyle spotted Kanna among them, but unfortunately, she stormed past him without a word.
15:15At exactly 8.59, Mikkel and Ryan stumbled in, just barely on time.
15:22Thank goodness, we're not late, Mikkel panted as he collapsed into his seat next to Kyle.
15:27He was out of breath, but that didn't stop him from launching into a complaint.
15:33We got lost.
15:33My goodness, Hogwarts is a real maze, he continued, shaking his head.
15:40We were supposed to head to the third floor, but the stairs shifted when we were on the second floor,
15:45and somehow, we ended up on the fifth floor.
15:49Ryan nodded in agreement, chiming in, then we started walking back down,
15:53but it took us forever to realize we were still stuck on the fifth floor.
15:58Mikkel threw his hands up in frustration.
16:00We finally made it down, but we ended up back on the second floor.
16:05Kyle, we climbed those stairs for 30 whole minutes, my legs are about to give out.
16:11As Mikkel became more and more agitated, he was practically on the verge of tears.
16:17Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense.
16:20Give me a second, Kyle said, rubbing his forehead, trying to make sense of their story.
16:24Even if someone was lost, it should still be easy to tell whether they were going up or down.
16:31What they were describing seemed more like some bizarre metaphysical phenomenon than magic.
16:37And there hadn't been anything about this in the map Cedric gave him.
16:41Forget it, never mind, Kyle eventually said, giving up on figuring out the mystery.
16:47So how did you guys end up here?
16:48We were brought here, Mikkel admitted, his face turning red as he pointed across the room.
16:55We bunked into a first-year Ravenclaw on the fifth floor.
16:59She helped us down the revolving staircase and asked if we were headed to the charms class.
17:04She said we could follow her.
17:07Kyle glanced in the direction Mikkel was pointing and saw the student sitting with her classmates
17:11and realized Mikkel was referring to Ravenclaw's Cho Chan.
17:16Channel Dream Novel
17:17Chapter 28, Lighting Charm
17:20Kyle didn't know much about Cho Chan, Cedric's future girlfriend and Harry Potter's unattainable crush,
17:27besides the fact that she was in Ravenclaw.
17:29But now, there was something new he could add to that, she was helpful.
17:35After all, not every Ravenclaw would go out of their way to help others.
17:40Many preferred to immerse themselves in their own thoughts,
17:43often revolving around schoolwork or intellectual pursuits.
17:47That didn't mean they were indifferent, they just tended to be more reserved.
17:51If someone asked them for help, they would usually oblige, but they rarely took the initiative.
17:57Cho Chan was chatting with her friends nearby, so Kyle simply glanced at her and then looked away.
18:03It's only the first class, and we barely made it, Mikkel groaned, clutching his hair in frustration.
18:10What are we going to do for the rest of the year?
18:13We can't leave an hour early for every lesson.
18:16If this keeps up, I'm bound to be late one day.
18:19Don't worry, the professors at Hogwarts won't expel you for being late, Kyle reassured him,
18:25giving him a comforting pat on the shoulder.
18:28At most, they'll just deduct some house points.
18:32Speaking of which, I've got something that might help you out.
18:35Something good?
18:37Mikkel and Ryan leaned in with curious expressions.
18:40Kyle pulled out the map Cedric had given him and spread it across the table.
18:46You can thank Cedric for this.
18:49Without it, you'd have been lost for much longer.
18:52Mikkel was still trying to figure out what it was, but Ryan, whose father was a wizard,
18:57immediately recognized it.
18:59A map of Hogwarts, he gasped.
19:02Where did you get this?
19:04Can I make a copy?
19:06I swear I'll return it after class.
19:09Of course, we're roommates.
19:12Kyle grinned, then turned to Mikkel.
19:14What about you?
19:16Want to copy it too?
19:18Mikkel was tempted, but after some thought, he shook his head.
19:23This was his first time in the magical world, and he didn't want to miss any opportunity to
19:27learn, especially during an important class like Charms.
19:31Can I wait until after class to copy it?
19:34Mikkel asked.
19:36Sure, Kyle nodded, tapping his wand lightly on the map.
19:40Jaminio.
19:42In an instant, a perfect duplicate of the map appeared beside the original.
19:47Kyle picked up the copy, gave it a quick once-over, and then handed it to Mikkel.
19:52Here you go.
19:54The magic on this should last about a week, so you can copy it whenever you're ready.
19:59Mikkel took the map with a puzzled look, then glanced over at Ryan, who appeared equally
20:04confused.
20:06Ryan shifted awkwardly, glancing between Kyle and the duplicated parchment, his face growing
20:11warm.
20:13He was about to say something when a voice interrupted them from the front of the room.
20:17Nice doubling charm, Hufflepuff.
20:21Five points.
20:22Kyle jumped in surprise and looked up, his eyes locking on Cho Chang across the table.
20:28She was smiling slightly, but it wasn't her who had spoken.
20:31Upon closer inspection, Kyle realized there was someone standing right in front of him.
20:38The person was so short that they had been completely hidden behind the table.
20:41Thank you for your praise, Professor Flitik, Kyle replied with a polite nod.
20:48Flitik smiled warmly.
20:50I'm just being honest.
20:52Mr. Chopper, is that your name?
20:55Kyle nodded again.
20:57Yes, Professor.
20:58Well, it seems my memory hasn't failed me yet, Flitik chuckled, then turned his attention
21:05to Mikkel.
21:06May I take a look at that map?
21:09Mikkel, initially unsure of who the small wizard was, quickly realized after hearing Kyle's
21:14address.
21:16He handed over the map with both hands, stammering slightly.
21:20Yes, yes, Professor.
21:23Flitik took the map and examined it carefully, sensing the magic within.
21:29After a moment, he handed it back to Mikkel with a satisfied nod.
21:34Ah, the magic is stable.
21:36If nothing unusual happens, this copy should last until noon in about eight days.
21:42He winked at Kyle before adding with a slightly regretful tone, if the end of term exam was on
21:47the doubling charm, I would have given you an outstanding.
21:50But for now, I can only award Hufflepuff three more points.
21:55Professor.
21:57A young Ravenclaw which raised her hand, looking curious.
22:01Can't objects created with the doubling charm exist permanently?
22:05No, Miss Middle, Flitik replied.
22:08If that were possible, we wouldn't need so much parchment in Muggle stores.
22:14Copies made with the doubling charm eventually fade.
22:16And Dumbledore can't make permanent copies either, another witch asked.
22:22Flitik shook his head.
22:24Not even the headmaster can make them last forever.
22:28Even if the copies could last a hundred years, they would still eventually disappear.
22:33Now, that's enough about the doubling charm, he said, clapping his hands to refocus the class.
22:39It's a bit advanced for you at this stage.
22:42Let's begin today's lesson.
22:44Turning to the class, Flitik addressed the room.
22:48Today, we'll be learning one of the most basic and essential charms, the lighting charm.
22:53The incantation is Lumos.
22:56Everyone, pay close attention.
22:59Kyle wasn't surprised that their first lesson in charms involved the lighting charm.
23:04It was considered one of the simplest and most fundamental spells in the wizarding world.
23:08There were no complex hand movements involved.
23:13Just a wand, the correct incantation, and focus.
23:17Historically, the lighting charm was even used to differentiate wizards from squibs due to its simplicity and near-perfect success rate.
23:25If a person couldn't perform this charm, they likely weren't a wizard at all.
23:29After demonstrating the casting process, Professor Flitik encouraged the young wizards to try it for themselves.
23:37The room soon flickered with lights of various brightness as students attempted the spell.
23:42Kyle wasn't the first to succeed, but when his wand lit up, the glow was steady and consistent.
23:47The light resembled a soft, steady electric bulb, shining with a calm, white glow.
23:54Unfortunately, there were no extra points for this, as Kyle wasn't alone in mastering the charm,
24:00seven Ravenclaw students across the room had also managed to produce stable lights with their wands.
24:06Hufflepuff wasn't far behind, though.
24:09They had six successful wizards, making the competition between the two houses fairly close.
24:14Don't forget what I said earlier, stay calm, Flitik reminded the class in his high-pitched voice.
24:22You must remain steady, just like when holding something fragile.
24:26And remember, pronunciation is crucial.
24:30Don't mispronounce the incantation.
24:33With the professor's encouragement, more students began producing steady, glowing lights with their wands.
24:38Kyle glanced over at his two roommates, Mikkel and Ryan were still struggling to get their wands to light up properly.
24:46Channel Dream Novel
24:48Chapter 29, The Charms Professor Who Questions Life
24:52Ryan was making some progress.
24:56He had switched from the weak, intermittent flickers to a steady flashlight mode,
25:00and the frequency of fluctuations was steadily decreasing.
25:04It seemed like he was close to achieving success.
25:06Mikkel, however, was struggling.
25:10The light on his wand was wildly unstable.
25:14At its brightest, it was blinding like a searchlight, but at its weakest,
25:18it barely glowed like a firefly and looked as if it might go out at any second.
25:23The more erratic the light became, the more anxious Mikkel grew.
25:27And the more anxious he became, the less control he had over the spell.
25:32It had turned into a vicious cycle.
25:34Hey, um, Kyle tried to offer some help, but before he could say anything, he noticed Mikkel suddenly take a deep breath and sharply raise his wand.
25:44For reasons Kyle couldn't explain, a sense of foreboding rose in his chest, as if something terrible was about to unfold.
25:51The feeling hit him so suddenly that he didn't even have time to process it.
25:57Almost instinctively, he turned away, bowing his head and squeezing his eyes shut.
26:02At that exact moment, a blinding flash of light filled the charm's classroom, as if a flashbang had just gone off.
26:09The burst of light was intense but brief, disappearing after a second, though its effects were catastrophic.
26:17The unexpected brilliance caught most of the young wizards off guard, blinding them.
26:22Cries of pain and panic quickly filled the room as students clutched at their eyes, stumbling, pushing, and trying to escape the classroom in disarray.
26:30Even Professor Flitik wasn't spared, though his years of experience kept him calmer than the frantic students.
26:38Fighting off the discomfort, he called out in his high-pitched voice,
26:42It's okay, everyone, don't panic.
26:45Stay calm, you'll be able to see in a moment.
26:48Despite his reassurances, his words did little to quell the pandemonium.
26:52The classroom remained in chaos, filled with the sounds of panicked students.
26:59If anyone had walked in just then, they might have thought Voldemort himself had stormed the school.
27:04To make matters worse, Flitik had been turned in the wrong direction the entire time,
27:09his back facing the students as he yelled his comforting words at the wall.
27:13The four wizards in the painting behind him were thoroughly unimpressed.
27:17Although they had been startled by the sudden flash, as portraits, they weren't affected by the aftermath.
27:24To them, Flitik's current behavior seemed as ridiculous as a Tebow warthog with a lump on its head.
27:30At that moment, in a charm classroom, the only ones who managed to stay unaffected were Kyle,
27:36who had instinctively dodged the risk, and a few other fortunate students.
27:41Despite their own good fortune, there wasn't much they could do to fix the situation.
27:47Instead, they focused on comforting their fellow students and helping those who had fallen into chaos,
27:52trying to prevent a stampede from happening.
27:55After several tense minutes, the blinding aftereffects of the light finally began to wear off,
28:00and the students' vision slowly returned.
28:03Oh, Merlin's beard, what a disaster, muttered Professor Flitik as he rubbed his eyes,
28:09shakily climbing down from behind his desk.
28:11In his attempt to reassure the young wizards, he had inadvertently gone the wrong way,
28:16tripped, and taken a tumble.
28:19Now, Professor Flitik was furious.
28:22In his decades of teaching, he'd witnessed countless magical mishaps,
28:26students getting hit by a misfired atchial,
28:29cows summoned with the levitation charm,
28:31locks exploding under a faulty unlocking charm.
28:34None of these things fazed him because they were expected in a classroom filled with students still learning magic.
28:40But never, in all his years, had he imagined that a simple lighting charm could cause such chaos.
28:47Gritting his teeth in frustration,
28:50Professor Flitik led the now somewhat recovered students toward the culprit,
28:53both angry and curious to confront them.
28:56Mikkel, however, was lying motionless on a desk.
29:01Professor Flitik called his name several times,
29:03but there was no response, Mikkel remained still, looking oddly peaceful.
29:07Sensing that something wasn't right, the professor hurried over to check on him.
29:13After a quick examination, he delivered his verdict,
29:16he's fine, but he's in a coma due to magical exhaustion.
29:21Hearing this, Kyle let out a sigh of relief.
29:24By, magical exhaustion,
29:26the professor didn't mean that Mikkel had drained his magical reserves entirely,
29:30but that he had overextended himself,
29:32like an ordinary person who hadn't slept for two days and nights.
29:36Professor Flitik's gaze became distant, unfocused.
29:41Magical exhaustion.
29:42From a lighting charm.
29:44This was the second time in a matter of minutes that he found himself questioning everything he knew.
29:50Could he really have been at Hogwarts for so long that he was out of touch?
29:54In all his knowledge of wizarding history, spanning thousands of years,
29:59he had never heard of anyone collapsing from casting a lighting charm.
30:04Sensing the professor's confusion,
30:05Kyle hesitated for a moment before offering,
30:08Professor, should I take him to Madame Pomfrey?
30:11It's probably not a good idea to just leave him lying here like this.
30:16She should check him out.
30:17Yes, yes, you're right, Flitik said, snapping out of his daze.
30:23Take him quickly.
30:25Madame Pomfrey will know what to do.
30:28After receiving Professor Flitik's permission,
30:30Kyle quickly cast a floating charm on Mikkel and guided him out of the classroom.
30:35Normally, Professor Flitik would have awarded extra credit for such quick thinking,
30:40but given the current situation,
30:41Kyle was lucky not to have points deducted.
30:44A reward was out of the question.
30:46After all, who needed extra credit at a time like this?
30:52Not long after leaving the classroom,
30:54Kyle spotted a cat sitting at the corner,
30:56not a cat girl, but an actual cat,
30:59with two amber eyes staring at him intently.
31:02Mrs. Norris?
31:03That's great!
31:05Kyle exclaimed, recognizing Filch's infamous companion.
31:10A student's hurt.
31:11I need to get to Madame Pomfrey, but I don't know the way.
31:14Could you help me?
31:17Although Cedric had given him a map of Hogwarts that marked the hospital wing,
31:21Kyle had never actually been there and wasn't familiar with the exact route.
31:25But Mrs. Norris was different, she had roamed Hogwarts alongside Filch for years and knew the
31:31castle better than most.
31:33Surely, she'd know the quickest way to the hospital.
31:35The cat tilted her head slightly, taking a glance at Kyle and the levitating Mikkel behind him.
31:43Without a word, she stood up and began walking toward the stairs on the right.
31:47Was that a yes?
31:49Kyle wasted no time in following her.
31:52The three of them, Kyle, Mikkel, and Mrs. Norris,
31:56made their way through the school, zigzagging between staircases, and at one point even cutting
32:03through a hidden passage behind a statue.
32:06Within a few minutes, they arrived at a courtyard outside the Great Hall.
32:10In the center stood a massive clock, which gave the courtyard its name, Pendulum Clock Courtyard.
32:15When they arrived, Mrs. Norris crouched near the base of the clock,
32:20her tail pointing toward a staircase behind her as if instructing Kyle to head up.
32:27I'll bring you some dried fish, Kyle said gratefully, extending his hand to pat the cat's head.
32:33But Mrs. Norris skillfully avoided his touch, her ears flattening back like tiny airplane wings
32:38as she gave Kyle a warning look.
32:40With a flick of her tail, she darted away and disappeared, as if she'd cast her own vanishing charm.
32:48Huh, arrogant, Kyle muttered, withdrawing his hand in frustration.
32:53He had no choice but to shrug it off and continue up the stairs with Mikkel in tow.
32:58The staircase was a fixed one, so there was no risk of it shifting unexpectedly.
33:03All he had to do now was follow it straight to the hospital wing.

33:09Chapter 30, The Potions Professor and the Magic Suppressing Potion
33:14Madame Pomfrey, a tall witch renowned for her expertise in healing, potions, and medicinal herbs,
33:21was a figure of both respect and mystery at Hogwarts.
33:25Rumor had it that St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries had extended an invitation to her three times,
33:31offering her the role of vice president if she accepted.
33:33However, she had always refused, insisting on staying at Hogwarts.
33:39Though the rumor was widespread, neither she nor St. Mungo's had ever confirmed or denied it,
33:45leaving it as one of Hogwarts' minor unsolved mysteries.
33:49As Kyle entered the hospital wing, he saw Madame Pomfrey bustling around, tending to her patients.
33:54She handed a green potion to a young wizard in one of the beds.
33:58This is the last bottle of scabies medicine.
34:03Apply it regularly, and stop drinking any more potions, she instructed sternly before turning to another bed.
34:10Muttering under her breath, she complained,
34:13Why are so many young wizards getting sent here this time of year?
34:16What are those professors doing?
34:19So irresponsible.
34:21It was clear she was in a foul mood, and Kyle hesitated, unsure how to approach her with Michael's condition.
34:28But Madame Pomfrey caught sight of them before he could decide what to say.
34:33By Merlin's beard.
34:35What happened to this child, she gasped, rushing over to gently place Mikel onto an empty bed.
34:42Without looking up, she asked briskly, Potion's mishap.
34:46Defense against the dark arts.
34:48Why is he unconscious?
34:51Neither, Madame, Kyle replied quietly.
34:54It happened during charms class.
34:57Mikel cast a lighting charm, and, that was it.
35:01Professor Flittick said he must have overused his magic.
35:05Yes, clearly he's drained.
35:08Wait, what did you say?
35:10Madame Pomfrey suddenly spun around, staring at Kyle in disbelief.
35:15A lighting charm.
35:17Her expression was one of utter incredulity, as though she had just witnessed Dumbledore pole dancing on the astronomy tower.
35:24The absurdity of what Kyle had said made her doubt the truth of it.
35:29These young wizards are getting more ridiculous by the day.
35:32She seemed to think.
35:33If they were going to make up a story, at least they could have come up with something believable.
35:40Overdraft from a lighting charm?
35:42Why not just say Phileas Flittick had been knocked out by it as well?
35:46It's true.
35:47The first years from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw all saw it happen, and Professor Flittick can confirm it, Kyle explained earnestly, giving her a brief account of the incident in the charms classroom.
35:59Hearing this, most of Madame Pomfrey's doubt subsided.
36:02If both houses had witnessed the event, word would soon spread throughout the school.
36:08It wouldn't make sense for Kyle to lie about something so easily exposed, especially when he brought Professor Flittick's name into it.
36:16Still, she turned to look at Mikel with a mix of bewilderment and curiosity, as though he were some rare magical creature.
36:24Never before had she seen a young wizard with such poor control over his magic.
36:28From Kyle's description, the magnitude of the lighting charm resembled something closer to accidental magic, powerful but entirely unrestrained.
36:38Yet, as she examined Mikel earlier, she had found no evidence of accidental magic.
36:44His condition seemed to be nothing more than simple magical exhaustion.
36:49It's really, an eye-opener, Madame Pomfrey muttered, almost unconsciously.
36:53Kyle nodded vigorously in agreement, fully understanding her disbelief.
36:59He felt the same way.
37:02If casting a charm were like driving a car, Mikel had essentially floored the gas pedal, burning through all the fuel in a matter of seconds, sending the car rocketing off at 200 kilometers per second.
37:13It might seem impressive, but it was anything but good.
37:17It was fortunate that Mikel had only cast a lighting charm.
37:20Kyle shuddered at the thought of what might have happened if it had been incendio.
37:26He made a mental note to sit as far away from Mikel as possible in future classes, as far away as possible.
37:33The explosive genius who would be joining Hogwarts next year seemed outrageous enough, but now they had a forbidden spell wizard already in their midst.
37:42Hogwarts certainly does not raise idle people, Kyle thought.
37:45A few minutes later, Dumbledore arrived, having been informed of the incident, and with him was Professor Snape, who had been pulled out of his lesson.
37:55Madame Pomfrey guided them to Michael's bedside, whispered a few words to them, and then stepped aside.
38:02Dumbledore leaned in to inspect Mikel, tapping him lightly with his wand here and there as he assessed the situation.
38:08After a while, he put his wand away and turned to Kyle.
38:13Good morning, Kyle.
38:15You brought him to Madame Pomfrey, correct?
38:18Yes, Professor, Kyle confirmed with a nod.
38:22You did well, Dumbledore said with a warm smile.
38:26I've heard what happened.
38:28If you hadn't helped those students who fell, there would be more than just Mr. Mikel lying here.
38:34Kyle waved his hands in protest.
38:36It was the right thing to do, Professor, and I wasn't the only one who helped.
38:42But you were the first to act, Dumbledore winked.
38:46Many older students, and even adult wizards, struggle to remain calm in an emergency.
38:52You did, and you did a fine job.
38:55Your bravery and humility have earned Hufflepuff 20 points.
38:58As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Snape, who had been inspecting Mikel up until that point,
39:05suddenly turned his gaze toward Kyle, as if only just noticing him standing there.
39:10Kyle, however, didn't notice Snape's shift in attention.
39:14Instead, he looked at Dumbledore and asked,
39:17So, Professor, how is Mikel?
39:20Will he be able to continue his lessons?
39:23Dumbledore smiled reassuringly.
39:26Yes, of course.
39:28There's a bit of an issue, but it's easily handled.
39:32A potion to suppress his magical overload should do the trick.
39:35Our potions professor will be able to prepare it in no time.
39:40One day, Snape interjected coldly, stepping closer.
39:45I'll have it ready before tomorrow's potions class for the Hufflepuffs.
39:49But before I go, Mr. Chopper, there's something you should remind your friend about.
39:55Snape paused, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
39:59Tell him to keep his feeble brain and his wand in check.
40:01Frequent magical overdrafts can leave a wizard severely weakened, almost like a squib.
40:08And I believe you know what that is, don't you?
40:11I do, Professor, Kyle replied quickly, his tone respectful but uneasy.
40:17Good, Snape said, without further comment.
40:20He turned and left the hospital wing without another glance at Kyle.
40:25Dumbledore watched him go, then turned back to Kyle.
40:28I think we should leave too.
40:30Mikel needs to rest.
40:33I suggest you visit him later this afternoon, he said, his usual twinkle in his eye as he guided Kyle toward the door.
