Harry had many questions, but Dumbledore patiently answered them all.

Shortly after their conversation began, Kyle approached Madam Pomfrey and requested to be discharged from the hospital.

Although Madam Pomfrey was somewhat reluctant, she agreed after checking Kyle again, since he was indeed fine.

After leaving the Hospital Wing, Kyle glanced at the soulless Niffler, chuckled, and pulled a handful of glittering gem fragments from his Mokeskin Pouch, then scattered them in the courtyard.

It's just a gem from the Fire Crab; he has that too.

To make the map appear more valuable, after learning Occlumency in Newt's box, he even made a special trip to the Fire Crab's lair and collected a lot of gem fragments.

Although it's a few hundred million smaller than the Dumbledore brought out, it has a larger quantity.

Especially at the moment they were scattered, the scattered gems shimmered in the sunlight, like a starry night sky.

The Niffler's eyes regained their brilliance, and as soon as Kyle let go, it eagerly rushed out and excitedly picked up the gems from the ground.

Kyle sat beside him, resting his chin on his hand, and glanced up in the direction of the Hospital Wing.

Kyle wasn't surprised that he failed to steal the Philosopher's Stone; in fact, it was the norm.

That was, after all, something that could give Voldemort a body again and bring him back to life; Dumbledore would never allow it to slip out of his control.

To Kyle's surprise, Dumbledore actually agreed to help him expand the chest.

To be honest, he hadn't had high hopes before, but Dumbledore agreed immediately after only a moment's hesitation.

It was an unexpected bonus, I suppose.

In this way, Kyle wouldn't need to modify the box anymore, which saved him a lot of time.

Kyle had originally planned to use the holiday to expand the space in the box... continuously casting the Undetectable Extension Charm for two months straight was incredibly boring.

Soon, Niffler finished collecting all the gems and returned to Kyle's side.

When it comes to treasure hunting, the Niffler is a pro. Not only did it not miss a single gem fragment, it even managed to pry out two Knut from some unknown corner.

However, it still seemed a little unhappy until Kyle handed it a leaf from the ground that had turned into Philosopher's Stone, at which point the little guy cheered up.

In some ways, the Niffler is quite easy to please.

When Kyle returned to the castle, he ran into Fred and George, who were about to leave, carrying two beautifully packaged large boxes.

"Kyle?"

Fred seemed a little surprised. "We were just about to come see you."

"How did you get better so quickly?" George asked, puzzled.

"I was fine," Kyle explained. "Going to the Hospital Wing was just a formality; the real problem is with Harry Potter."

"Oh, what a pity..."

George looked down at the box in his hand. "We also prepared a gift for you..."

"But it's the same whether I give it to you now," Fred said. "Hurry up and open it to see if you like it."

Pity?

Is this even human language?

Kyle glanced at them expressionlessly and didn't take what Fred offered.

He'd known Fred and George for a long time; judging by their serious expressions, even a fool could tell they weren't up to any good.

"How did you know I was at the Hospital Wing?" Kyle changed the subject.

"In fact, it's not just us..."

Fred probably knew they couldn't fool Kyle, so he simply took the box back, intending to give it to Harry later.

"It's all over Hogwarts," George explained. "Quirrell tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but he was discovered by several brave young wizards who overcame numerous obstacles and finally stopped him."

"Kyle, you borrowed the Marauder's Map just to get to the underground classroom, didn't you...?"

Fred exclaimed dreamily, "Three-headed Dog... a moving magical chessboard... Death Eaters... Fiendfyre... Merlin's stockings... this is more than we've experienced in the last decade or so combined."

"You should have called us!" George said quietly. "Even our little brother Ron got involved, but we didn't..."

"Next time for sure, next time for sure," Kyle waved his hand.

Whether it was just their imagination or not, Fred and George always felt that Kyle was just going through the motions.

"It's a deal then, you have to take us with you next time," George reminded him. "Otherwise, your Christmas present every year will only be a quill pen."

"And the cheapest kind at that," Fred added.

"That's really going too far," Kyle said, shaking his head with a smile.

Fred and George left quickly; they were going to visit Harry and give him a carefully prepared gift.

After the two left, another group of people gathered around... They had also heard about what happened in the underground classroom and were eager to know more details.

Kyle finally managed to shake off those curious young wizards.

But when he arrived at the entrance to the Hufflepuff Common Room, he found that there were already people waiting for him there.

"I knew you'd be heading back to your dorm," Hermione said, "So I waited here beforehand."

"There were too many people, we couldn't squeeze in," Ron muttered under his breath.

Hermione glared at him, annoyed.

"Okay... what do you want to know?" Kyle said helplessly, "But you'd better hurry, I really don't want to repeat myself."

"How is Harry...?"

"How did you get through those levels...?"

The two asked at the same time.

"Harry Potter is fine." Kyle looked at Hermione and said, "He was talking to Dumbledore when I came back. You can go see him now if you want, but Madam Pomfrey might not agree."

"As for those challenges..." Kyle looked at Ron again, "They're not difficult to overcome if you find the right method. Take the key challenge, for example; you can use the Bowtruckle or the Master Key to open the door directly, without needing to grab the keys."

"Oh..." Ron whimpered. They had been so proud of finding Three Broomsticks, but Kyle had told him there was no need to do it at all.

"And what about the magic chessboard..." Ron was about to say something, but Hermione interrupted him.

"Don't ask, Ron, Kyle will definitely get through those checkpoints." She said anxiously, "We need to get to the Hospital Wing to see Harry right away. If too many people go, Madam Pomfrey won't let us in."

"Yes, you're right, I almost forgot."

After thanking Kyle, the two quickly ran towards the Hospital Wing.
