The end of the second afternoon class signaled the start of dinner time at Hogwarts.
Kyle, along with the two girls, arrived on the first floor of the castle, chatting and laughing along the way.
Currently, Kyle was still an auditor and hadn't officially enrolled, so he didn't have an assigned house yet.
Therefore, as they entered the Great Hall, Cho Chang and Marietta invited him to join them at the Ravenclaw table for dinner.
However, Kyle politely declined.
Perhaps because in his past life he had never had a girlfriend, he felt a little awkward dining with the two girls.
And he wouldn't feel comfortable eating as much as he wanted.
So, Kyle figured he'd skip eating at the Ravenclaw table and have a more relaxed meal with Professor Snape instead.
Just as Kyle passed the Gryffindor table, two red-haired students blocked his path.
"Hey, newbie!"
"You're the kid causing trouble in Professor McGonagall's class, right?"
Their tone was unfriendly, as if they were looking for a fight.
Great.
He was probably the first person in Hogwarts history to get into a brawl on his first day of school.
Noticing the commotion, people at the nearby tables turned to watch, their expressions clearly enjoying the drama.
Kyle, his hand in his pocket, clenched and then released the kunai.
It was just a run-of-the-mill schoolyard bullying incident; using the kunai would likely turn this into a criminal case.
"Yes, it's me," Kyle said, his voice laced with hostility. "What do you want?"
The red-haired boy on the left stepped forward. "Let me tell you what we want."
"We want to invite you to Professor Snape's class with us tomorrow." The expression on the right-hand boy's face suddenly shifted from cold to playful.
The tense atmosphere vanished, replaced by a more relaxed feeling.
The two overly friendly boys threw their arms around Kyle's shoulders, one on each side.
"I'm George Weasley."
The boy on the left finished speaking, and the boy on the right immediately punched him, "Go to hell, I'm George, he's Fred Weasley."
The two looked exactly alike; it was easy to see they were twin brothers.
Kyle, who had been pulled to sit down at the Gryffindor table, nodded at the two of them, "I'm Kyle Dumbledore."
Exclamations arose from around them, a reaction he had heard several times in the two classes that afternoon.
George: "It's actually Professor Dumbledore's relative!"
Fred: "No wonder you were eating at the staff table this morning!"
Two boys with equally fiery red hair across the table from him reached out their hands to Kyle.
"Hello, I'm Percy Weasley," the boy wearing glasses introduced himself.
"Charlie Weasley," said another boy with freckles, speaking succinctly.
Percy pointed at George and Fred. "I'm their older brother."
It was obvious they were a family just from their hair color.
With Percy and Charlie taking the lead, the Gryffindor students around Kyle also extended their hands in friendship.
Kyle had underestimated the status of the Dumbledore surname in the hearts of Hogwarts students, especially in Gryffindor.
Because Albus Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard in the current magical world, came from Gryffindor.
A good dinner had turned into a fan meet-and-greet.
The Ravenclaw table next door noticed the commotion, and a beautiful witch with long, brown curly hair next to Cho Chang asked her, "Who is that boy?"
Cho Chang pointed at Kyle, who was surrounded by a crowd. "You mean him? His name is Kyle Dumbledore."
Dumbledore!
He was a Dumbledore? Penelope Clearwater silently made a mental note of the name.
After the crowd dispersed, Kyle felt his smile was about to stiffen. "Do you want to come to class with us tomorrow? We have Professor Snape's Potions class!"
"We've long been unhappy with that old bat; he's always targeting people from Gryffindor!"
The twin brothers invited Kyle again; it seemed they admired his courage in causing a scene in Professor McGonagall's class.
Percy, across the table, "... "
"Could you two be a little more considerate of the people around you when you're talking?"
A mass of heavy darkness silently approached.
"Ahem!" Percy coughed violently, unable to stand it any longer, and frantically winked at his two younger brothers.
"What's wrong, Percy?"
"Are your eyes bothering you?"
The twin brothers asked in unison, completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.
Kyle sensed something and turned his head to look behind him. A wall of black blocked his view.
So he looked up and a gloomy face, constantly emitting black energy, instantly entered his field of vision.
"Bloody hell! Speak of the devil!"
The sudden appearance of the large bat-like figure startled Kyle, nearly making him jump. Luckily, he quickly calmed down. It wasn't like he was the one talking smack about the guy, so why be scared?
George and Fred finally understood what was happening. They gulped in terror, stiffly twisting their necks.
When their eyes met Snape's cold, deathly gaze, they both tumbled off their seats.
"Disrespecting a professor, ten points from each of you."
Snape coldly delivered the sentence, then with a flick of his robes, turned and left.
After Snape was gone, a weak voice came from under the table, "Kyle, help me up, my legs are like jelly."
Although a small incident had occurred before the meal, it didn't affect the good mood of the group.
The dinner table was a good place to quickly build relationships. Before long, Kyle and the twins were chatting and laughing.
On the staff table not far away, Dumbledore looked in the direction of the Gryffindor long table, a satisfied smile on his face.
It seemed he didn't need to worry about Kyle not making friends at Hogwarts.
After dinner, Kyle mingled with the Gryffindor crowd, following George and Fred towards the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Are you staying with us, Kyle?" George asked curiously, seeing Kyle following them.
"Yes, Professor Dumbledore arranged a room for me."
Kyle followed the twin brothers, pushing through the noisy crowd, and climbed the marble staircase.
Finally, they stopped in front of a portrait at the end of the corridor on the eighth floor of the castle, a very plump woman wearing a pink dress.
"Password?" she said.
"Nirvana," Percy said.
The painting wobbled and slid forward, revealing a circular hole in the wall.
They all climbed through the hole.
They were now in the Gryffindor Common Room.
It was a cozy, circular room filled with soft armchairs.
There was also a bulletin board plastered with school notices, various advertisements, and posters.
The school grounds were visible through the windows.
A large fireplace occupied an entire wall, decorated with scarlet tapestries depicting numerous wizards and witches, along with many animals.
Back in the Gryffindor Common Room, George and Fred immediately commandeered a table, expertly retrieving a box from beneath it.
"Want to play Wizard's Chess?" they asked Kyle.
But Kyle hadn't even seen his own room yet, so he wasn't in the mood to play Wizard's Chess.
"No, thanks," Kyle shook his head. "I'm going to go check out my room first."
"Can we come with you?"
Although they lived in the Gryffindor boys' dormitory and were already intimately familiar with everything here...
They were very curious to see if Dumbledore had arranged a room for Kyle that was different from theirs, and if the decorations were more luxurious.
