Chapter 186: Holiday Catch-Up Lessons
"This is unbelievable."
While eating in the Great Hall, Cedric had already heard from Kanna about the events that unfolded in Potions class.
He smacked his lips, then asked with a curious gleam in his eye, "I thought the Draught of Living Death was only taught in sixth year. How did you manage to... Wait, don't tell me you've already finished all the Potions textbooks!"
Kyle, who was slicing a sausage, looked up and chuckled. "What if I did?"
Cedric froze for a moment, then half-joked, "Then I'd have to quit Quidditch and spend more time studying... Being friends with a future Potions Master is a lot of pressure."
"Seems like I just saved my life from Harris," Kyle patted his chest dramatically. "If you quit the team because of me, he'd definitely come after me!"
"Alright, alright, I was only joking."
Under the curious stares of others nearby, Kyle continued, "Let's just call it luck. The other day, I picked up Advanced Potion-Making to pass the time and happened to see the process for brewing the Draught of Living Death."
It really was luck. If he hadn't learned Occlumency over the summer, he wouldn't have dared to pull a stunt like that in front of Snape. Though that kind of behavior was a bit reckless, it was definitely thrilling.
