Chapter 52 They gave too much (please collect and recommend)
The next day, at the same time, in the same Hufflepuff common room, Kyle, Cedric, and Connor 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, raised his eyebrows and said, "No more, no less, exactly sixty galleons."
"So many..." Cedric opened his mouth, feeling dizzy and feeling like a dream.
…
In fact, it was like a dream. Today’s plan went surprisingly smoothly.
Although Kangna completely forgot the specific process because of her nervousness, she took out the map as soon as they met like a salesman.
No, the salesman at least said hello and said a few polite words, instead of going straight to the topic like Kangna did.
Kyle and Cedric stood dumbly on the spot watching this scene, hesitant to continue the performance.
But soon they had their answer.
Because Rohr and Yaxley's reactions were equally surprising.
Even before Kangna could speak, after they saw the golden edge on the map, they eagerly asked about the origin of the map.
After learning that this was a limited edition of ten copies, he changed his previous arrogant attitude and started chatting with Kangna eagerly.
They held Kangna's arms and talked and laughed, recalling the interesting events at the banquet a few years ago. They looked like they had been best friends for many years.
Kanna just walked with them all the way in a daze. By the time she returned to the Hufflepuff table, she had ten more galleons in her hand.
As for when exactly these galleons came into her hands, Kangna had a vague impression.
Maybe it was in the corridor, or maybe at the door of the auditorium.
Because Rohr and Yaxley are very good at chatting, on the way, they naturally changed the topic from the banquet to the complex structure of Hogwarts castle, and then naturally asked Connor to help buy the map, and waited for her to agree. After that, the topic changed back again without any trace.
The whole process is very smooth, without any abrupt feeling.
Although Kangna's purpose is the same as theirs, both parties cooperate with each other, so things can progress so smoothly.
But even so, Kyle had to admit that Slytherin did have unique talents in social interaction.
So at the dinner table, the first thing he said to Connor was, "Remember to stay away from Slytherin in the future, otherwise you won't even know you were betrayed by them."
Cedric next to him also nodded in agreement.
In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, two gold-edged maps were given to Rolle and Yaxley after lunch.
With their "publicity", it took less than two hours to sell all the remaining nine maps except for the sample in Kangna's hand.
There are some little snakes among them who want to print their family crest on it.
Kyle originally disagreed, but they gave too much.
The price doubles...who can control this?
So it ended up being sixty galleons.
“Divide the spoils...ahem, divide the galleons.”
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Kyle pushed half of the galleons directly in front of Kangna: "As agreed before, we will divide it equally."
"No, you counted it wrong." Kangna shook her head, counted out ten galleons and put them back, then glanced at Kyle doubtfully.
“It should be twenty Galleons divided equally among three people. Are you so bad at arithmetic?”
“I…” Kyle opened his mouth and felt a blockage in his chest. “Just go ahead, as long as you are happy.”
Cedric next to him almost died from laughter.
Kyle, bad at arithmetic?
He could laugh about this for a whole school year.
Kyle pushed the twenty galleons over angrily. He didn't understand how Cedric, who was such a good person before, could become such a virtuous person.
Good guy, why don’t you take pleasure in others’ misfortune?
Cedric didn't care about Kyle's bad attitude at all. He picked up a galleung and rubbed it carefully in his hand.
“That many galleons is enough for me to buy ten evil bird quills.”
"Evil bird quill pen?" Kyle frowned and said, "What's so good about that thing? It's so expensive."
"It's beautiful." Cedric said matter-of-factly: "I've been eyeing the yellow one for a long time. That color matches Hufflepuff very well."
Kyle thought of something, grinned, then quickly returned to normal, and said calmly: "Then you should buy a few more sticks so that you can use them interchangeably in the future."
“No, just buy one first.” Cedric thought for a moment and said, “I’m going to give the rest to my father.”
Hearing this, Kyle couldn't help but glance at him. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Cedric continue: "Maybe when he is happy, he will change the broom he gave me from Sweeping Seven Stars to Nimbus It’s 1,700.”
Kyle swallowed back the words that just came to his mouth.
The Nimbus costs 1,700, which is two hundred galleons more expensive than Sweeping Seven Stars. Twenty becomes two hundred. Cedric’s abacus is about to fall off his face.
But not to mention, given Mr. Diggory's character, after learning that Cedric joined the academy team and earned a full twenty galleons, he might actually be able to buy him a nimbus.
Kyle's eyes flashed, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind, but it was too late now, so he could only wait until tomorrow.
…
After dividing the galleons, Cedric went to the kitchen and brought some cookies, desserts and other snacks, and a large pot of pumpkin juice.
The three of them held a small celebration party in the common room.
Kyle picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and just took a sip when he saw Kangna opposite, taking out seven or eight small bags, and then put two galleons into each bag.
???”
Under Kyle’s doubtful eyes, Kangna explained: “I’m afraid of losing it again, so it’s better to separate it.”
Cedric said in surprise: "Kanna, did you lose Galleons?"
“Yeah.” Kangna nodded and briefly told what happened.
After listening, Cedric also put away his smile and thought about it seriously: "There shouldn't be a Quidditch pitch. After every flying lesson, Mrs. Hodge will check the pitch. If someone drops something, it will be there soon." was found.
Furthermore, when I was training yesterday, I didn’t hear that anyone picked up twenty galleons.
Let's do this. I'll help you ask other people tomorrow to see if anyone has seen Gallon. "
"It's okay, I don't care anymore." Kangna pointed to the pile of small bags in front of her and said with a crooked smile, "These are enough for me to use for a long time."
"Forehead…"
“You lost twenty galleons, so you don’t care?”
Cedric said nothing. Somehow, the pumpkin juice in his hand seemed to suddenly turn into lemonade.
