Chapter 272: The Confident Lockhart
Fred and George didn't even sit down to eat their breakfast properly, simply grabbing a few slices of bread before leaving the table. It seemed they were in a hurry to post their letter before class.
Harry, Ron, and Neville exchanged puzzled glances. Truthfully, none of them really knew what Fred and George were up to.
They didn't have time to think it over, though, as Professor McGonagall began handing out the class schedules along the Gryffindor table.
"Kyle, you're just in time," she said as she handed Neville the last timetable. "Professor Sprout would like to see you. If you've finished breakfast, come with me."
"Yes, Professor," Kyle replied, finishing his last sip of lemonade and standing up to follow Professor McGonagall out of the Great Hall.
If his guess was correct, Professor Sprout wanted to speak with him about the Time-Turner. After all, the first class of the new school year was about to start, and he should have received some information by now.
Moreover, he had already picked up his class schedule from the common room before breakfast. The first class for third years was Care of Magical Creatures, held at the same time as Divination by Numbers... Both classes started at 9:00 a.m.
...
After leaving the dining hall, Professor McGonagall didn't lead Kyle up to her office as he'd expected, but instead took him out of the castle and across the grounds. There, near the Whomping Willow, Professor Sprout was carefully tending to the tree.
