Kyle and Kanna returned to the castle shortly after leaving Hagrid’s hut. Once they were gone, Hagrid sat alone, pondering until evening. In the end, he decided to follow Kyle’s advice and release Fluffy into the Forbidden Forest that very night. Although reluctant, he knew there was no other choice—first and foremost, it would make Fluffy happier. And if Fluffy was happy, Hagrid would be...

Kanna was completely dumbfounded during the entire exchange between Kyle and Hagrid.
Who am I? What am I doing here? And what on earth are they talking about? she wondered. Weren't they just talking about a dog with no appetite? Now they're mentioning a Three-Headed Dog? What even is that? A dog with three heads? But there’s no such creature in this house…

Who in the wizarding world would refuse to raise a dragon? Hagrid certainly wouldn't. And as for his grumpy disposition... so what? Children are supposed to be a little mischievous, after all. Being sent back by the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary only proves those people are incompetent. Just look at how scrawny they are, like walking twigs—how could they possibly manage to raise a dragon properly...

Because of the news in The Daily Prophet, the young wizards were distracted and found it difficult to focus during their lessons. This was especially true for students from Muggle families, who, after quickly gathering as much information as they could about the Swooping Evil, began to worry intensely about the safety of their loved ones. The Swooping Evil, after all, was one of the mo...

After Halloween, November arrived, bringing cold weather that made the young wizards even less inclined to get up in the mornings. At eight o'clock, Kyle, wrapped in a thick robe, yawned as he entered the Great Hall for breakfast. As usual, owls swooped into the hall, delivering letters and packages. Among them was a much-anticipated package for Cedric: his new broomstick, a Nimbus 1700, just a...

After the Halloween feast, the little wizards, full and happy, made their way back to their dormitories in groups. Once the students were gone, the professors also departed one by one.
In the headmaster’s office, Dumbledore looked calmly at Snape, who stood before him with a grim expression.
“Severus, what can I do for you?” Dumbledore asked, his voice gentle.

Selling the map had undoubtedly been a success. The young wizards were thrilled, the professors were pleased because no one was late to class anymore, and Kyle and his friends had made a tidy sum. If anyone was unhappy, it was probably Filch.
Ever since Fred and George became wealthy, the smell of Dungbombs often filled the corridors. Filch was furious and determined to catch the twins in...

The next day, at the same time, in the same Hufflepuff common room, Kyle, Cedric, and Kanna sat together again.
Only this time, there was a pile of golden galleons on the table in front of them.
“One, two, three...”
“No need to count...” Kyle glanced at Cedric, raising an eyebrow. “Exactly sixty galleons.”
“That much...” Cedric’s mouth hung open, his wh...

Kanna wasn't entirely sure why she had agreed to Kyle's plan. Maybe it was because she really did need some galleons, or perhaps it was the way Kyle had framed it: a chance to prove to everyone that she could handle things on her own, that she had the ability to survive. Whatever the reason, she had found herself reluctantly agreeing.
After dinner, the three of them—Kyle, Cedric, and Ka...

Kyle was not someone who liked to waste time. Once he had an idea, he acted on it immediately. Without further ado, he told Kanna to head back to the dorms while he made his way straight to Gryffindor Tower.
Unfortunately, when he arrived, Percy wasn’t in the dormitory. After asking around, no one seemed to know where he had gone. With no leads, Kyle had no choice but to set the matter ...

"What Three-Headed Dog? I've never owned Fluffy!" Hagrid burst out, sounding agitated, as if someone had pressed the accelerator on his temper. Even the roots of his beard seemed to tremble. Pointing at Kyle, Hagrid jumped up and down in a fluster, exclaiming, "How can you go around slandering someone's good name for no reason!"
"Oh," Kyle said, as if a sudden realization dawned on him, "...

It felt like finding a long-lost toy. Kyle was having the time of his life in the Room of Requirement, experimenting with its magic.

The power to alter his surroundings with a wave of his hand was exhilarating.

The third day of Hogwarts was likely the most anticipated day of the year for new Hufflepuff students. Not only was it a Friday, but it also featured the classes they were most excited about.
In the morning, they had Herbology with Professor Sprout, and in the afternoon, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Flying lessons. Early that morning, the students gathered outside the greenhouse alon...

Snape's expression remained unchanged as he frowned. "Irregular cut marks might improve the effect in some potions, but this is just a boils potion. Doing it here is a complete waste of time. However, given your serious attitude... five points to Hufflepuff."
The entire class froze in shock, eyes wide in disbelief. Some Hufflepuff students...

Kyle had never expected Kanna to be so skilled at potion-making. Every step, from boiling the nettle solution to grinding the snake's teeth, was executed with precision. He found himself unable to contribute much and sat idly by, watching the cauldron with growing boredom.
