Chapter 678: Norbert in Trouble
In addition to his meetings in Professor McGonagall's office, Kyle was also tasked with visiting the offices of Professors Flitwick and Sprout. After all, each house had students interested in joining the Ministry of Magic.
For Slytherin, however, Snape didn't seem to think his students needed Kyle's advice, which saved him a significant amount of time.
For several days, Kyle was busy shuttling between the three heads of houses' offices, often even during class hours. The professors seemed unconcerned about him missing lessons, so it wasn't until three days into the new term that Kyle finally walked into a classroom again.
"You're late," Snape said, his tone colder than the February chill in the dungeons.
"Sorry, I just came from Professor Flitwick's office," Kyle explained. "I thought he'd already spoken to you."
"Ah, yes..." Snape drawled, his voice dripping with mockery. "Senior Assistant to the Minister for Magic—such an impressive title for someone who hasn't even graduated. Remarkable."
Kyle could feel the sarcasm but didn't reply.
"What are you waiting for? Do you need me to tell you where to sit?" Snape added sharply.
Kyle quickly moved to the only vacant table and sat down beside Kanna, who turned to say something but was cut off by Snape's commanding voice.
"Antidote to Common Poisons," Snape announced, his wand flicking toward the blackboard. "A highly efficient antidote capable of countering many poisons and even mitigating some effects of dark magic."
The production steps appeared on the board in sharp, neat writing.
