00:00welcome to the dream novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip
00:12don't forget to like and comment so that the admin will have the encouragement to continue
00:18making clips let's go listen channel dream novel chapter 281 conflict and the unusual
00:27snape anyone who steps into honey dukes rarely leaves empty-handed and kyle and the others were
00:32no exception their pockets now bulging with sweets of every kind they continued down the main road
00:38until they reached the three broomsticks where they stopped for a warm butterbeer true to their
00:44word fred and george covered kyle's drink though kyle seemed distracted preoccupied with something
00:50the twins didn't notice brushing it off as them not being ready yet inside professor mcgonagall
00:56and professor flittick were also enjoying a drink with madam rosmerta mcgonagall had a small glass of
01:03gilly water in front of her while flittick was sipping a cherry syrup and soda with ice and a
01:07tiny umbrella the professors hadn't spotted kyle and the others but it still felt a bit awkward to
01:13be in such close quarters with them fred and george couldn't seem to stop staring at professor mcgonagall
01:19or maybe they were eyeing madam rosmerta the barmaid known for her striking looks and friendly demeanor
01:25was a familiar face to most hogwarts students after finishing their butterbeers a bit hastily
01:32the group returned to the bustling street they stopped at gladrag's wizardware where they helped
01:37cho pick out a heavy cloak trimmed with white fur cho and conna led the selection process with kyle
01:44and the others merely nodding along when asked for their opinion cedric however attempted to help but
01:50made one suggestion after another that earned skeptical looks from everyone especially fred and
01:55george even cho gave him a dubious glance when he suggested cloaks in pure gold the color was far too
02:03flashy and to top it off the style was an adult model making cho look like a walking golden snidget
02:09after that cedric's advising rights were unanimously revoked as they walked past madame pudifoot's tea
02:17house they spotted harris through the window chatting with a girl with long maroon colored hair
02:22cedric leaned over and whispered oh so that's why harris gets here so early in the morning
02:28i get it kyle chuckled that's definitely more important than the captain of three consecutive
02:35championships title madame pudifoot's was famously known as a dating spot where young couples from
02:41hogwarts often went clearly harris and the girl were more than just friends oh i remember cho murmured
02:50that's livy exina the ravenclaw prefect and a seventh year no wonder she looked familiar she's
02:57wearing different clothes and has done her hair up today they all gathered by the window observing
03:03the scene inside fred and george with mischievous grins proposed going into stage a chance encounter
03:10but cho and kanna were quick to veto the idea trust me cho said seriously if you barge in now and mess
03:19things up harris will be aiming for your heads as goalposts at the next quidditch match think your
03:25heads are tough just wait till you feel the quaffle don't worry i'm here kyle said patting his chest for
03:33emphasis i'll keep passing him the ball and me cedric muttered fred snickered well the quaffle's still a
03:43bit tougher i'm kidding he added seeing cho's disapproving look and mr diggory don't forget
03:51you're not allowed to talk right now george teased cedric with a smirk what's a seeker doing meddling with
03:59quaffles anyway cedric shrugged taking the jab in stride and wisely kept silent at noon the group
04:07returned to hogwarts there were places to eat in the village but the food there was noticeably worse
04:13than the meals served at the castle and most importantly they had to pay for it after a morning
04:19full of new experiences the novelty of visiting day had worn off and after a brief discussion they
04:26decided to head back to hogwarts early the great hall was much quieter than usual with far fewer
04:32people than normal though this silence felt strangely tense as soon as kyle entered he could sense the
04:39thick tension hanging in the air griffinders and slytherins sat at separate tables but they were glaring
04:45at each other across the space what on earth happened this morning cho whispered i feel like they're about
04:53to start fighting any minute i don't know fred shook his head let's go ask around the two quickly made
05:02their way over to the griffinder table and found their friend lee jordan since most students had gone
05:08to hogsmeade there were plenty of empty seats at each table and the others weren't paying much attention
05:13to them so they sat down wherever there was space after a while fred and george came back
05:19oh we really shouldn't have gone to hogsmeade fred said regretfully i can't believe we missed so much
05:28get to the point cho said impatiently what happened our team in slytherin got into a fight on the
05:36quidditch pitch george explained because of that malfoy the slytherin second year exactly fred nodded
05:45his father donated seven nimbuses to the school and bought him a spot on the team
05:50using galleons to solve problems
05:53typical of that family
05:55george glanced over in the direction of the slytherin table where the team was still clutching
06:00their brand new shiny nimbus 2001s
06:03i've seen malfoy train
06:05he said quietly and he's not very good
06:09without those broomsticks he'd never have made the team
06:13and then
06:14cedric asked
06:16malfoy said something really nasty fred said and then they got into a fight
06:22you won't believe this
06:24george suddenly burst out laughing
06:27our little brother ron really made a splash this time
06:30he actually made malfoy vomit slugs all morning
06:33cho and kanna's faces darkened it was obvious that this news was a bit too explosive for them
06:40cedric's eyes widened as well
06:42when we first heard the story we were as shocked as you are
06:47fred chuckled
06:48absolutely stunned
06:50we thought there was another ron at school
06:53we didn't realize it was our brother
06:56although he ended up getting hit with a spell not far off and was sent to the hospital wing
07:01he was still impressive
07:04we decided to share some of the sweets we got from hogsmeade with him
07:08kyle scanned the great hall
07:11sure enough harry hermione ron and malfoy were all missing
07:16so how did it all turn out
07:19what did the professor say
07:21that's the strange part
07:23george rubbed his chin thoughtfully
07:26lee jordan told us that professor snape was handling it
07:29we thought he'd come down hard on griffinder
07:31a hundred points docked in detention for ron
07:34but he didn't fred said
07:36instead malfoy got detention
07:39what
07:41the news was so surprising that even kanna looked shocked
07:45we asked three different people and it's true fred whispered
07:49what do you think has happened to snape lately
07:52maybe he's trying to make up for past mistakes
07:55kyle said casually
07:57what
07:58the others looked at him
08:00not quite understanding
08:02nothing
08:03kyle shook his head
08:04just joking
08:06don't mind me
08:08channel dream novel
08:10chapter 282
08:12lucius's fury in the afternoon
08:14fred and george visited ron in the hospital wing with a large bag full of sweets
08:19kyle went along with them
08:21outside the hospital wing two groups stood like guards flanking the doorway
08:26on the left were the towering griffinders led by oliver wood
08:30and on the right were the slithering quidditch players led by marcus flint
08:34both teams had come to visit but since they arrived in a noisy rowdy manner
08:39madame pomfrey had refused to let them in
08:42now they were stuck standing in the corridor
08:44glaring at each other as if they could duel with just their eyes
08:48the arrival of kyle and the others immediately drew attention
08:51and under the intense scrutiny of a dozen pairs of eyes
08:55they carefully knocked on the door to the hospital wing
08:57why are you still here
08:59madame pomfrey opened the door and
09:02seeing the large crowd outside
09:04glared disapprovingly at wood and flint
09:07quidditch players were frequent visitors to the hospital wing due to injuries
09:11from games and training
09:12so both wood and flint had a natural respect for madame pomfrey
09:16after her scolding they didn't dare linger any longer and quickly ushered their
09:21teammates out of the corridor
09:22as for kyle and the weasley twins madame pomfrey finally allowed them in
09:27citing their status as family
09:29don't speak loudly and don't disturb the others
09:33she warned if you break any of these rules
09:36you'll never be allowed back in here
09:38of course fred chuckled we're just here to visit our brother
09:42and we promise to stay quiet you'd better
09:45pomfrey pointed to a hospital bed against the wall on the left
09:50weasley's over there thanks they said
09:54following her direction the three lifted the curtain around ron's bed and found
09:59him lying there
10:00there were only two patients in the entire hospital wing
10:03the other bed with its curtain drawn was presumably malfoys
10:07whether by design or coincidence ron and malfoy had been placed right next to each other
10:14if not for the curtain separating them it was doubtful things would have been so peaceful
10:19in addition to ron harry and hermione were there as well
10:23though they both seemed rather subdued heads lowered as if deep in thought
10:27ron lying in bed with a bandage wrapped around his head
10:31was the one doing the comforting it's fine it's just a horn growing jinx
10:37no big deal malfoy had it way worse he was throwing up snails all morning
10:43huh it's actually the first time i've managed to cast a charm successfully
10:47if this were an exam i'd bet i'd score an oh
10:51too bad hogwarts doesn't have a jinx class fred commented lifting the curtain as he walked in
10:58george followed with a grin you missed your one chance to get an oh
11:03dot fred george ron looked a bit surprised
11:08what are you doing here that's not very nice fred replied with mock disapproval
11:14of course we had to visit our dear brother in the hospital wing
11:19yes we came back from hogsmeade as soon as we heard the news you don't think we can visit
11:25you no ron quickly explained i didn't mean it like that sorry
11:31wait hogsmeade at this harry suddenly looked up
11:36didn't you say you were feeling unwell and were going to the hospital wing with wood
11:41i thought you'd already been discharged and were resting back in the dormitory
11:45air
11:47fred and george's expressions froze
11:50they had actually forgotten about that little detail
11:53don't worry about the details fred quickly improvised
11:57we went to hogsmeade after leaving the hospital wing
12:01that's right george added pulling out the large bag of sweets
12:06these are all honeyduke's best treats we bought them especially for ron
12:11for me ron looked even more surprised
12:15but as he glanced at the large bag of colorful delicious sweets
12:19he hesitated then shook his head
12:22i i don't need them you guys keep them
12:27even as he said this his throat tightened a bit
12:30he had noticed some tooth splintering strong mints in the bag which were his
12:34favorite
12:35but well considering how often fred and george's gifts tended to come with
12:40side effects since last year he wasn't exactly eager to take the risk
12:45fred seemed to pick up on ron's suspicions and laughed
12:49don't worry this time there's definitely nothing odd about them
12:52we promise if you don't believe us you can ask
12:56kyle he'll vouch for us kyle nodded in agreement
13:01these treats were a genuine reward for ron's bravery in raising his wand against
13:05the slytherins but even if there were a few tricks
13:09involved it wasn't anything ron hadn't seen before
13:13next to him harry frowned slightly as if wanting to say something
13:17but george cut in first oh by the way harry i heard you're giving out signed
13:23photos how come fred and i haven't got any yet
13:27i'm not and i haven't harry snapped
13:30momentarily forgetting about their questionable alibi
13:34lockhart's just spreading rumors i've never given out any signed photos
13:40ha what a shame fred said with a mischievous grin
13:43winking fred and george really did know how to lighten the mood
13:49the gloom that had settled over the room since they'd arrived quickly lifted
13:53even hermione who had been sitting quietly
13:56seemed intrigued when they pulled out a pair of banshee detector glass
14:00the glasses bought from dervish and banjas were a glass bead about the size of a
14:05golden snitch and were meant to detect banshees disguised as ordinary people
14:09hermione always fascinated by unique magical items
14:13was nearly defenseless against such novelties
14:17kyle also brought out an automatic inkjet quill he'd prepared in advance
14:21he had originally planned to give it to hermione as a christmas gift
14:25but the timing felt right now too and for ron
14:29he had a little extra surprise an identical waterproof and moisture-proof
14:33badge to the one harry had the group didn't stay long in the hospital wing
14:39with the bursts of laughter coming from behind ron's curtain
14:42it wasn't long before they were reported
14:45malfoy has informed me that you're disturbing his rest
14:47madame pomfrey said sternly
14:50so i must ask you all to leave wait it's even louder over there isn't it
14:56ron protested that pansy parkinson hasn't stopped yapping since i got here
15:02they'll be asked to leave soon as well madame pomfrey replied firmly
15:07in fact visiting hours are over
15:10if you want to see him again you'll have to come back later
15:14there was no arguing with madame pomfrey so the group had no choice but to say
15:18their goodbyes to ron and file out of the hospital wing
15:22as they made their way toward the courtyard by the clock tower
15:25they happened to cross paths with lucius malfoy
15:27who was just emerging from the castle his expression was dark and he looked as
15:32though his anger hadn't subsided in the slightest
15:36lucia spotted them too and stopped in his tracks
15:39oh weasley he looked down at fred and george drawing out his words in a slow
15:46disdainful tone your family may be a little clever but believe me
15:51the weasleys won't be so lucky forever
15:54he didn't even attempt to hide his contempt this time
15:57his eyes fixed on the twins with an openly malicious gleam his previous
16:01hostility from the flourish and blots incident simmering just beneath the
16:05surface thanks for the warning fred replied
16:08coldly his usual grin gone but maybe you should focus on your own
16:13family first george added with a hard edge to his voice
16:17i never knew the malfoys idea of education was so
16:20rudimentary fred continued what an eye-opener
16:25lucius's hand clenched instinctively around his cane
16:29kyle sensing the tension shifted his hand quietly toward his wand
16:33ready to act in case lucius lashed out at the twins
16:37but lucius kept himself in check he seemed to remember that this was hogwarfs
16:42with dumbledore possibly watching from some unseen corner
16:46and that any outburst here would have consequences
16:49humph we'll see about that he sneered tossing a final
16:53menacing look their way before turning on his heel and stalking off without a
16:57backward glance channel dream novel
17:00chapter 283 come on tom let's hurt each other
17:05after meeting lucius in the courtyard the group's mood was noticeably affected
17:10they returned to the castle in silence and went straight back to the common room
17:15the next day ron still hadn't been discharged from the hospital wing
17:19however according to someone from slytherin malfoy had apparently been taken
17:23away by his father most likely to saint mungo's
17:27kyle didn't give it much thought he had more pressing matters to attend to that day
17:32after breakfast fred and george were taken off by wood for quidditch training
17:37while kyle headed to the room of requirement on the eighth floor
17:41he spent the morning transferring all the moon calves and some of the plants there into
17:45his suitcase however he left plants with slower growth cycles like the venomous
17:50tentacula undisturbed the seeds for these plants had been given to him by the ministry of magic as
17:57compensation the previous year it had only been a year and they were still in the budding stage
18:03the unique qualities of the room of requirement allowed them to grow better
18:07there was plenty of time to tend to them in the future no need to rush
18:11after transferring the last moon calf kyle returned to the small hut at the suitcase's entrance
18:18instead of leaving he pulled a box out from under his bed
18:22seeing lucius malfoy yesterday had reminded him that he hadn't checked the diary since fox's last visit
18:29he wondered what had happened to riddle in the meantime kyle took out the dragon's blood he had
18:34bought in diagon alley poured it into an empty inkwell and diluted it with a bit of water
18:39dragon's blood was expensive so he wanted to use it sparingly after setting everything up he finally
18:46opened the diary soon faint words appeared on the page i'm sorry i haven't fully recovered yet
18:55for some reason my magic is returning very slowly that's okay i've got the dragon's blood kyle wrote back
19:02in red ink the words were quickly absorbed into the page after a few seconds more words appeared strange
19:11it really is dragon's blood but why does it contain so little magic i don't know kyle wrote i bought it
19:20in diagon alley then you chose the wrong shop this isn't pure dragon's blood it's not useful to you
19:28though the effect is weaker it's still useful these words appeared much clearer than before
19:35kyle nodded to himself as long as it worked he wasn't going to complain with the riddle answer
19:42machine back online kyle resumed asking questions about magical writing techniques however riddle seemed
19:49distracted his thoughts circling around something kyle had mentioned earlier who was this person capable of
19:55effortlessly defeating an enemy that even dumbledore had struggled with and the dark wizard kyle had
20:01referred to with such familiarity riddle felt certain it could only be him his future self after all
20:08an enemy who could pose a challenge for dumbledore had to be him no one else would be worthy he was
20:15desperate to know more the reason for his failure and what events had led to it after answering kyle's
20:21questions with patience riddle could no longer hold back i remember you saying before that someone was
20:28stronger than dumbledore is that true and what was his name was he from my era kyle looked up from the
20:37pile of symbols and runes glanced at the diary and scribbled down a reply does that really interest you
20:43i'm just curious riddle replied in my memory professor dumbledore has always been the strongest the one i
20:51strive to surpass ever since you mentioned someone surpassing him i haven't been able to stop thinking
20:57about it no wonder kyle wrote back i thought your answers were a bit slower than usual there's nothing i can
21:05do about it i'm really having trouble concentrating hm i understand kyle's gaze shifted back to the
21:13parchment with the latest set of formulas he'd just written down he tapped his fingers thoughtfully on
21:19the table although the arrangement appeared normal looking just like the previous examples he noticed
21:25that two of the symbols seemed familiar he recalled reading in nicholas flamel's alchemy book that the
21:31symbols for light and impact must not be directly connected they required a buffer between them
21:38failing to do so would create a 90 chance that the alchemical item would explode upon activation
21:44was riddle doing this on purpose or was it just a mistake kyle hesitated deciding not to say anything
21:52about it pointing it oh ut would be useless riddle could easily claim he'd simply been distracted
22:00and if riddle knew kyle had read about alchemy he would likely become even more careful when setting
22:05traps which would make things far more complicated in the future kyle sighed lightly scratching the
22:11parchment he took a clip to scoop some nutrients for the venomous tentacula from a nearby iron bucket
22:18tossed it into the inkwell and stirred it dipping his quill in the new ink he wrote i'm sorry tom but i was
22:25only joking when i said that the person who defeated the dark wizard wasn't as powerful as headmaster
22:30dumbledore so it was a joke i had already guessed as much riddle's handwriting appeared clearer now than
22:37before i knew it no one is stronger than professor dumbledore no tom you're wrong kyle replied actually
22:47headmaster dumbledore doesn't even rank second what i hesitated to tell you the truth thinking you might
22:54not accept it but now i've decided to be honest with you there are many hidden families in the wizarding
23:00world ancient lines with powers handed down through millennia they are incredibly powerful able to move
23:07mountains and fill seas with a mere wave of the hand however these families rarely appear before
23:13ordinary wizards preferring to protect the wizarding world from the shadows impossible riddle's response
23:20was hasty and scrawled messily across the page letters blending together if that were true why did i
23:27only meet mediocre people when i was at school they don't attend hogwarts their knowledge is passed down
23:34through their families i know it sounds far-fetched but it's the truth this time riddle didn't respond
23:42after a long pause a new line appeared in the diary if that's true then how do you know about it
23:50plenty of people know kyle replied over a decade ago a dark wizard named moldy wart rose to power
23:58his followers grew so bold that they proclaimed him a dark lord with the might of a god of magic
24:03which angered these hidden families an elderly man finally stepped forward and wielding a two-handed
24:09sword single-handedly cut down moldy wart's followers leaving them half dead the diary remained silent
24:16again much longer this time what happened then what happened to this dark lord a few days later he was killed
24:25by an infant that's the only public record we have with that kyle pasted a newspaper clipping he had prepared
24:33onto the diary's page ten minutes passed tom tom are you still there this time the diary remained entirely
24:43unresponsive it was as if it had fallen completely silent as if something inside it had finally broken
24:50channel dream novel chapter 284 the daily prophet after calling out several times to no response kyle gave up and
24:59put the diary back in his suitcase is it broken he wondered a bit disappointing since he still had a
25:07few more exciting fabrications he'd been planning to share but well not everyone had the mental stamina to
25:14keep up with a smirk he stashed the suitcase and inkwell back under his bed then began tidying up the
25:20parchments on his desk after a careful inspection he found two more small mistakes on the symbols riddle had
25:27provided minor details but still noticeable to a trained eye once might have been coincidence but
25:34three in a row clearly deliberate kyle thought with a shake of his head riddle really wasn't an honest boy
25:42he mused just a few days and he's already plotting little sabotage kyle resumed sorting through the
25:49parchments comparing each against the guide to magical hieroglyphs and logograms for any other inconsistencies
25:56kyle where've you been all day it was nearly dark when he finally left the room of requirement and
26:02arrived at the great hall where fred and george intercepted him and pulled him over to the gryffindor
26:07table i was reading kyle said simply what's the matter reading all day fred asked incredulous and you
26:18didn't even come for lunch george added we waited for you in the great hall for two hours at noon i got
26:26so caught up in it that i forgot kyle replied calmly what did you want to see me about no wonder you get
26:33straight o's fred muttered though he let the subject drop he reached into his bag and pulled out a fresh
26:41copy of the daily prophet i know why lucius malfoy was so furious look at this kyle froze slightly
26:50recognizing the familiar picture of the enchanted flying car splashed across the front page why are
26:56you looking at a newspaper from a few days ago this is today's paper they just reused the same photo
27:03george pointed at the bold headline above the photo conspiracy at king's cross station the boy who
27:10lives life in danger it was another article by rita skeeter unlike her previous piece which had
27:17thoroughly condemned mr weasley this article curiously painted him in a surprisingly positive
27:22light portraying him as a careful and responsible figure quite a rarity for skeeter
27:28but beyond that one compliment the rest of the article was as scathing as ever sources indicate
27:34that on the day of the hogwarts express departure the entrance to platform nine and three quarters
27:39closed early preventing two students from accessing the platform an informed source claims that one of
27:45those students was none other than harry potter the young wizard who defeated you know who the article
27:51went on to detail the scene as though rita had been there herself it would take an extremely advanced
27:56can fund this charm to seal the platform something even most horrors wouldn't be able to accomplish
28:01with ease however a student's parent claims to have seen a person in black robes at king's cross
28:07station that day robes very similar to those of the notorious death eaters of years past the article
28:14finished with a quote from the ministry of magic's platform guard who admitted that he had been
28:18performing a memory charm on a muggle family when the entrance mysteriously closed apparently they'd been
28:25drawn to the area by the hood of an owl and accidentally witnessed a wizard entering the platform
28:31kyle turned to fred and george asking you were seen by muggles the only wizards who had entered the
28:37platform before the entrance was closed were the weasley family no i don't think so george replied
28:45though he sounded uncertain but we didn't hear any owls when we were at king's cross
28:50kyle nodded thoughtfully and continued reading aloud is this just a coincidence or is the platform
28:57closure a carefully planned scheme someone trying to kill harry potter to avenge you know who and that
29:03person might even be hiding among the parents sending their children to school we got a letter
29:09from home this morning fred said a hint of satisfaction in his voice dad's investigation is over
29:15thanks to you kyle george stepped forward giving kyle a hearty slap on the shoulder
29:23kyle shook his head in truth even without his help dumbledore wouldn't have let mr weasley lose his job
29:30it just would have taken a little longer it seems that lucius malfoy got wind of it ahead of time and
29:36knew mr weasley would come out fine kyle laughed no wonder he said yesterday that weasley wouldn't always be
29:44so lucky not you that's right fred chimed in laughing and there's more look at this he turned the page
29:54revealing a paragraph on the back the ministry member stationed at the platform said he'd seen
29:59six witches and wizards at king's cross including lucius malfoy upon seeing the name kyle immediately
30:07understood what fred and george were getting at lucius had always been suspected of being a death eater
30:13and with fudge's typical paranoia he'd likely launch an investigation after hearing about the incident
30:19rita skeeter she's something else said fred smacking his lips
30:24we drafted three letters but we only sent one
30:28the other two we tossed out george added spreading his hands
30:33she still wrote far more in detail than we did
30:35maybe someone else wrote to her too harry mused joining in
30:41look here only people at school knew i ran into the whomping willow but she knew about that as well
30:48exactly what we thought george chuckled
30:51though things hadn't quite gone as they'd expected as long as mr weasley passed the investigation
30:56it didn't matter who had tipped her off
30:59in the wizarding world any topic even remotely related to you know who or the death eaters would
31:03spark immediate buzz even though a day had passed during dinner in the great hall people continued
31:10to sneak glances at harry in the vip section lockhart was chatting animatedly with the other professors
31:17claiming that had he been at the station he'd have easily apprehended any death eater
31:22as for harry he didn't pay much attention to the stairs
31:26he'd long grown used to them thankfully since it had been even worse when he'd first started at hogwarts the previous year
31:33besides something else was occupying his mind
31:37to be honest after reading that day's issue of the daily prophet even harry was beginning to doubt if it was all true
31:44it seemed too much of a coincidence
31:46his thoughts drifted back to the house elf named dobby he'd encountered over the summer
31:51the one who had stolen his letters and caused the ministry of magic to send him a warning
31:56dobby too had tried to prevent him from returning to hogwarts
32:01why had it gone to such lengths
32:03was it connected to the platform incident
32:06and did it have anything to do with voldemort or the death eaters
32:11harry couldn't figure it out
32:12channel dream novel
32:15chapter 285 ancient runes and professor babbling rita skeeter's report may have caused a brief stir
32:21but it didn't last long
32:23from the second week onward rain settled over hogwarts mostly incessant
32:29the gloomy skies and relentless drizzle dampened everyone's spirits while the damp cold seeped into the
32:34castle walls leaving many young wizards with colds
32:37madam pomfrey had to prepare a large quantity of pepper up potion much earlier than usual
32:44although the potion worked instantly it made those who drank it puff like old steam locomotives for
32:49several hours afterward
32:51george who caught a cold joked that he now looked like an actual steam engine
32:56fred found it amusing and although he was perfectly healthy
33:00he went to madam pomfrey to ask for a dose of pepper up potion as well
33:04the two of them then walked around together billowing steam in sync
33:09under these wet gloomy conditions kyle finally had his first ancient runes class
33:15the ancient runes classroom was on the third floor of the west tower
33:19the professor in charge bad hilda babbling was a witch in her forties with grayish eyes
33:25rumor had it that she'd been teaching at hogwarts for more than 50 years though no one knew if that was
33:30true as the most challenging subject at hogwarts ancient runes attracted few students
33:37only 16 people filled the classroom this was everyone who had chosen the course from all four
33:42houses when the class started professor babbling surveyed the group a bit surprised
33:49so many students this year her voice sounded as if it were coming through a long tunnel
33:55this is a large number whispered kanda who had also chosen the course are there usually so few people
34:02though kanda's voice was barely audible professor babbling caught it
34:07last year there were nine and the year before that just seven she replied
34:13this classroom is rarely full even with ten
34:16professor babbling wasn't as stern as she appeared
34:19after answering kanda's question she added half jokingly sometimes i wonder if i should combine all
34:26five years into a single class so i'd only have to teach once a week
34:30then the rest of the time i could go on holiday to other countries
34:35but alas your headmaster dumbledore always refuses
34:39everyone burst into laughter once the room quieted down professor babbling addressed the class
34:46all right who can tell me what ancient runes are cho seated next to kanna raised her hand first
34:55ancient runes also known as the study of ancient magical scripts or runic writing
34:59were commonly used in books before the middle ages also when different runes are arranged into
35:05special symbols they can produce specific magical effects so they were widely used in alchemy as well
35:11precisely ravenclaw earns two points professor babbling said nodding runes have applications in
35:20alchemy which involves more advanced knowledge most of the time however they're used to translate
35:26ancient documents but if you're interested she tapped the desk symbols along the walls of the
35:34classroom began to glow and a bright orb of light appeared at the center of the ceiling
35:39i can teach you that too everyone's eyes gleamed with excitement the ability to cast charms without
35:47a wand was a skill they'd all dreamed of mastering professor i want to learn this the griffindor
35:53student said eagerly is that what you all want asked professor babbling eyeing the class everyone nodded in
36:01unison very well i can teach you the basics but be prepared professor babbling replied smiling just get
36:09on with it i can't wait said one student confidently patting his chest but half an hour later he regretted it
36:18it was incredibly difficult there were so many magical words each with at least five or more meanings some even
36:26had ten just memorizing them was enough to make his head spin and then there was the challenge of
36:32arranging them correctly to form those intricate symbols the same runic script could be written in
36:38different ways depending on the intended meaning after half the class he felt as if he hadn't remembered
36:45anything or that whatever he did remember had slipped away minutes later now he understood why so few
36:51students enrolled in this class it was just too complex when the lesson finally ended he lifted his
36:58head from a simple introduction to ancient magic script with an expression that suggested he'd forgotten
37:03who he was where he was and what he'd just read of course the other students looked much the same
37:11that's about it for alchemical applications professor babbling said cheerfully from the lectern
37:16but don't worry normally there's no need to memorize letter order or how to write them for this class
37:23just focus on understanding the meaning of each room that's much simpler for you
37:29the room fell silent clearly the professor's definition of simple was different from the students
37:36as everyone silently packed up their things preparing to leave professor babbling seemed to remember
37:42something oh yes one more thing she said casually if any of you feel this class isn't for you you can
37:50speak with your heads of house to request a class change i'll allow it until october several students
37:57perked up looking thoughtful after leaving the classroom kyle turned to kanna and cho what do you think
38:05want to switch classes of course not kanna replied without hesitation why would i cho said smiling it's
38:16challenging sure but the runic scripts are fascinating no wonder cedric recommended this class to me so
38:23strongly and besides she glanced at kyle and kanna raising her eyebrows playfully i'm a ravenclaw
38:32i can't let you hufflepuffs beat me oh i see how it is school rivalry kyle responded with mock impatience
38:42of course not cho said still smiling i just meant that ravenclaws never shy away from knowledge
38:50the more complex it is the more interested we get that's true kyle shrugged
38:56half the students here are ravenclaws but i do think there's something odd about professor babbling
39:03kanna said thoughtfully in other classes the first lesson is usually the easiest but she did the
39:10opposite i read ancient runes made easy and writing in runes is the last topic covered it's barely
39:17mentioned yes cho nodded ordinary ancient runes aren't nearly this difficult and there was that last
39:25comment from professor babbling i keep feeling like she actually wants her students to switch classes
39:31but there are already so few students taking this class that's only how it seems to us kyle whispered
39:39remember what she said before class started this room rarely has more than 10 students
39:45maybe we should ask cedric and fred if they felt the same way when they first took ancient runes
