Chapter 317: Useless Understanding
Kyle's strategy proved highly effective.
After handing over a thick stack of greeting cards to the Dwarves, they finally managed to enjoy a somewhat normal morning. Although a few Dwarves still managed to slip out from hidden corners, Kyle was able to dodge them in time using his Disillusionment Charm.
Regarding the lessons... Professors McGonagall and Flitwick had agreed to Kyle's suggestion and cast Charms to seal the classroom doors, keeping the Dwarves out. Reports from other year groups mentioned that two petrified Dwarves were stationed in Snape's Potions classroom, placed on either side of the door to the Dungeon like two tasteless statues.
Initially, this sight caused a bit of panic as students thought there had been another attack. But soon, they realized it was Snape's handiwork—his way of warning the remaining Dwarves to steer clear of him.
As the morning wore on and classes continued, the Dwarves began reappearing with greater frequency, evidently having completed their previous tasks. By the end of the last Charms class, three Dwarves were already waiting for Kyle in the corridor.
Cedric faced a similar situation, forcing both of them to retreat to the common room for lunch.
"Someone is definitely stirring up trouble!" Cedric grumbled, biting into a piece of toast. "There are loads of students at Hogwarts—why do they keep targeting us? Something's off."
"Do you even need to ask?" Kyle raised an eyebrow and pointed toward the ceiling.
Cedric immediately caught on, gritting his teeth as he muttered, "Fred, George!"
No wonder the greeting cards felt strangely familiar. It all clicked—it was undeniably the twins' signature style. Cedric had initially felt guilty about the chaos but never imagined the twins would start mischief this early. He suspected they were responsible for the five Dwarves he'd encountered by the foyer that morning.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that a greeting card popped up every time he left his dorm?
