Kyle leaned against the wall, listening to the footsteps outside gradually fade into the distance.

"Hiss..." A hissing sound came from not far away.

Harry lifted his Invisibility Cloak and suddenly appeared in the room as if he had been conjured up.

However, he didn't notice that there was another person in the room. After lifting the Invisibility Cloak, he began to look around the room.

He spotted a very impressive mirror there and curiously walked over, seemingly wanting to see his current appearance.

Soon, when Harry stood in front of the mirror, he couldn't move an inch.

Not far away, Kyle, who had witnessed the whole thing, rubbed his forehead.

He had seen that mirror in the Headmaster's Office last year; it was the Mirror of Erised.

Kyle knew that the Mirror of Erised was incredibly tempting to Harry, but now was definitely not the time to look in the mirror.

Snape just said he was going to check the dormitories, has he forgotten already?

Never mind, I'll just remind you anyway.

As Kyle left the room, he deliberately made a loud noise and casually tossed a Knut over.

As a Chaser, Kyle performed consistently this time, with Knut arcing through the air and striking Harry precisely on the forehead.

Hopefully this will bring him to his senses.

The professor was no longer visible on the fourth floor. After leaving the room, Kyle quickly found the armor and followed the secret passage to the underground classroom.

Several people were standing in the kitchen hallway at that moment. They had all been woken up and wanted to see what had happened, but they didn't dare to leave the hallway.

Using the Disillusionment Charm, Kyle quietly blended into the crowd, and then returned to the common room with Professor Sprout when he arrived.

"Kyle, when did you go out too?"

In the lounge, Kanna, clutching a pillow, asked sleepily, "What's going on outside?"

"I don't know." Kyle calmly shook his head and said, "I went out after being woken up, but it was pitch black outside, and I didn't see anyone."

Kanna nodded absentmindedly, it was unclear whether she was even listening.

The next day, the entire Hogwarts community was talking about what happened the night before, and during breakfast, almost half of the people would yawn every now and then.

"That was close! Professor McGonagall almost found out you weren't in your dorm last night," Ron said sleepily, poking at a fried egg on his plate. "How did you manage that...?"

"I've said it so many times, Ron, I didn't do it!" Harry said irritably. "I just went to the library!"

"But..."

"It was someone else!" Harry thought for a moment and said, "There must have been another person there. Remember the mirror I told you about?"

I was so engrossed in watching that someone hit me.

If it weren't for him, Professor McGonagall would definitely have found me.

"So, he's actually quite nice," Ron said in a deep voice. "He can completely ignore you, and that way, whether it's points deductions or solitary confinement, everything will fall on you, and he'll be completely safe."

"Yes, that's exactly what happened, but who is that person...?"

Harry looked up and scanned the Great Hall. "Ron," he said, "Do you think anyone else might have Invisibility Cloak like me?"

He was completely unaware that others were nearby yesterday, just as Filch couldn't see him at the time.

In Harry's view, only the Invisibility Cloak could do that.

"Probably not..."

Ron thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Invisibility Cloak are rare, even among wizards, but... maybe Malfoy might have one."

He then thought of the toy Malfoy had bought for 100 Galleon before Christmas. If he wanted to buy Invisibility Cloak, it didn't seem like it would be difficult.

"Yes, you're right." Harry had guessed Ron's thoughts and shrugged. "It's just that Malfoy went home and wasn't at school yesterday."

"Yes, it's such a pity..." Ron sighed.

After a moment of silence, Harry thought of the mirror again, and the image he had seen in it involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Who are those two people...? Could they be his parents?

Harry wasn't sure if the time was right, so he decided to go again that night.

Neither of the two remained in silence, yet their conversation was being overheard by Fred and George nearby.

"Did you hear that, George? The Invisibility Cloak ..." Fred raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, Fred," George said in a low voice with a smile, "There aren't many people at Hogwarts with the Invisibility Cloak, and our friend happens to be one of them."

"Luckily we didn't go back for Christmas this year, otherwise we would have missed such a wonderful show."

"As expected of Kyle, getting everyone up five hours earlier... that's a brilliant idea!"

Fred peered towards Hufflepuff, puzzled. "But why hasn't Kyle arrived at the Great Hall yet? I'm waiting to ask him what happened."

"They're probably still half asleep," George thought for a moment and said, "Hufflepuff's common room is right next to the kitchen, so they can eat whenever they want."

"This is so convenient..." Fred exclaimed. "If only we could move the Gryffindor Common Room there too."

"Yes... that way we won't have to run downstairs every night."

At the High Table, the professors were also discussing the same issue; they had conducted surprise inspections of every college's dormitories the previous night, but no students were absent.

"We must have arrived too late, and he went back early!"

Snape glanced at Harry and said slowly, "I suggest asking the Fat Lady if any young wizards sneaked out last night."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and gave him a thoughtful look.

"Severus, we never ask the Fat Lady about her students," Dumbledore, shaking his head. "Besides, it wouldn't be fair to the other three houses."

However, you could try asking about the other portraits in the hallway.

"I will..." Snape's face was somewhat grim. He glanced at Gryffindor again, then got up and left the High Table.

"In fact, I already asked." After he left, Dumbledore winked at Professor McGonagall and chuckled, "But they didn't see anything. What a clever little wizard..."

Professor McGonagall frowned, seemingly not entirely agreeing with the assessment of "intelligent".

Dumbledore, oblivious to all this, continued cutting a piece of bacon, "Hogwarts hasn't been this lively in a long time."

I bet Hagrid must be ecstatic. He's been worried about the ever-increasing number of carnivorous slugs in his vegetable garden, and now the problem is solved in no time."
