Chapter 750: Make-up Lessons
Despite Kyle not seeing the need for it, Dumbledore returned the Golden Cup as promised three days later.
When Kyle went to find Harry, carrying a bottle of mead, he found him in the library—almost entirely buried under a mountain of books.
Ron and Hermione were with him.
All three were hidden behind thick "walls" of books piled high in front of them, making it difficult for Kyle to spot Harry at first. If it hadn’t been for the Marauder’s Map confirming Harry was there, he might have missed them entirely.
It was hard to believe that he and Ron had suddenly become such bookworms.
"Here’s what you asked for," Kyle said as he sat down across from them, slipping the bottle of mead into a gap between the bookshelves when Madam Pince wasn’t looking.
"Thanks," Harry said, glancing up.
Kyle immediately noticed the dark circles under his eyes.
"How long have you guys been here?" he asked, almost without thinking.
"Three days," Ron yawned, rubbing his face. "We’re practically living in the library—except for class."
He picked up a book nearby, flipped through it for a moment, then set it aside and reached for another.
