Chapter 729: Kyle: Am I Some Kind of Dark Lord?
"Good news, Kyle!"
Early the next morning, Grace, the new Quidditch team captain, excitedly found Kyle in the library, where he was absorbed in his book.
"What's so exciting?" Kyle asked, setting the book down. "Did You-Know-Who get defeated by Headmaster Dumbledore last night?"
"Huh?" Grace blinked, startled. "Really? Seriously?"
"I'm asking you," Kyle replied, glancing up at her. "Didn't you say you had good news?"
"No, no, it's not that..." Grace finally understood what Kyle was implying and shook her head quickly. "The news I'm talking about has nothing to do with You-Know-Who. It's about the team."
"Oh." Kyle's interest visibly waned, but he still asked politely, "What's going on?"
"Do you know who we're playing in our first game?" Grace asked with a hint of excitement.
"Gryffindor?" Kyle guessed casually.
"How did you know?" Grace stared at him in surprise. "Did Madam Hooch tell you?"
"No, I just guessed," Kyle said with a shrug.
