Chapter 95 Popular Accessories
Under the temptation of Galleon, Kyle and others stayed in that small and stuffy abandoned classroom for a whole week. A total of more than 300 "talents that must pass every exam" were made.
More than a hundred of them were carved by six people with one knife. They were purely handmade and without any adulteration.
The remaining 200 are assembly line products. The pattern is carved first and then transferred to the pineapple branches using a copying spell. It can be said to be quite perfunctory, but it still looks like that.
This week, several people have become very skilled in using the copying spell.
It is worth mentioning that this spell was not originally learned until the sixth grade.
“The rest is up to you.”
At the dinner before the start of school, Kyle looked at the other five people seriously and said, "You all know the process, just do it again the way you sold the map before."
Fred and others also nodded seriously.
That’s what they said, but after all, this is not a small business like selling maps, but a big business for the whole school, so they are still a little nervous.
“Kyle, do Hufflepuffs also want to charge money?” The good old Cedric hesitated.
"This is not a necessity, Cedric." Kyle patted his shoulder and said, "But we can give Hufflepuff a good discount."
“50% off?”
"No, 95% off!" Kyle thought for a while and added: "But you can add a small change and charge one less knut."
…”
Cedric twitched the corner of his mouth. He wanted to stick to his opinion, but he had no choice. Kyle firmly controlled the pricing power, and it didn't work what he said.
After saying a few words, everyone dispersed and made preparations for tomorrow's plan.
In order to achieve publicity effect, Fred and George wrote a large leaflet overnight and posted it in the most conspicuous place in the Gryffindor common room.
【Are you still worried about the exam? Are you still worried that you won’t perform well and get good results?
Now, you don’t have to worry!
In order to allow everyone to have a wonderful summer vacation, we hereby solemnly recommend the "Must Pass Talisman for Every Examination".
It is recorded in "Hogwarts: A School History". It has been popular in Hogwarts for more than a hundred years and was the most popular product at the time. Even Principal Dumbledore wore it during exams.
Interested buyers please contact second graders Fred Weasley and George Weasley.
(Note: This product has only symbolic meaning and cannot improve the wearer’s intelligence, nor can it replace the exam, please purchase as appropriate)]
In the original version of the flyer, there was actually no last sentence, but after Kyle learned about it, he asked them to add it.
For nothing else, what stands out is the “stability” and the fact that there are no returns.
Fred and George were a little worried at first, thinking that after adding this sentence, no one would be willing to buy their things.
But after only half a day, this worry no longer existed.
When the first person found out the graphic meaning of the wand and quill from "Hogwarts: A School History" and told the others, little wizards kept rushing in with Sickles and Galleons. The two of them were in the dormitory, and they were afraid that if they were slow for a second, they would not be able to grab the "talisman that must pass every exam".
The door to the dormitory had been squeezed and broken several times. In the end, Fred didn't even bother to use the repair spell and just tore the door down with a wave of his hand.
The situation at Hufflepuff is similar, except that the little badgers are crowded into Cedric's dormitory.
Although Slytherin did not put up a leaflet, they naturally found Connor after learning about it.
Among the six people, only Qiu, who is in charge of Ravenclaw, is a little more relaxed. After all, most top students are confident, and they don't need this.
One afternoon a few days later, it was still the abandoned classroom.
The wood chips and knives that were originally all over the floor were gone, replaced by a square table with piles of gold Galleons and Silver Sickles on the table.
Fred swallowed, "How much is this."
“When converted, the total is seven hundred and nine galleons, fifteen kilos and five kats.” Qiu blurted out: “I didn’t expect that there would be so many people buying customized models, so it’s much more than expected.”
"More than seven hundred galleons..." George's eyes were a little dull: "I'm not dreaming."
Fred sighed from the side: "If so, I hope I will never wake up from this dream."
Kyle picked up a gold galleung from the table and said with a smile: "Then you have to think about it, there are seven such dreams in total."
“Then I’d better wake up quickly.” Fred laughed.
But as he smiled, his face suddenly wrinkled up.
Fred suddenly remembered that he was one grade above Kyle, which meant that he would have graduated by the time Kyle was in seventh grade, and he would not have any share of the money that year.
Fred felt heartbroken when he thought about hundreds of Galleons flying away like this. He looked at Kyle with a resentful look on his face and said, "Why didn't you enroll last year?"
Kyle felt numb all over when he saw him, and took two steps to the side in disgust.
"I don't have the final say when I go to school. You have to ask Dumbledore."
“Well, this is decided by the Book of Admission.” Cedric reminded in a low voice from the side: “It has nothing to do with the principal.”
But Fred and George obviously didn't listen. They were currently discussing how to delay graduation by a year.
By the time they left here, each of them had a hundred gold galleons in their pockets.
As for the remaining ones, everyone unanimously decided that Kyle would keep them as funds for the next event.
Kyle agreed.
Originally, he wanted to use the money to invest in the Weasley brothers, but they were currently busy looking for the complete password for the Marauder's Map and had no extra time to study those joke products.
Let’s wait until next year.
…
In the next few weeks, the professors suddenly discovered that a special wooden decoration seemed to be popular in Hogwarts, and almost everyone was wearing it.
It's not a magic item, it's just a very common sorbet, either round or square.
There is also a relatively small number, which is embellished with gold paint and has a layer of wax on the surface. The workmanship looks much more exquisite than others, but it is still not a magic item.
Originally, the professors didn't actually care about this kind of thing. It was just a fashionable accessory that was available every year, as long as it wasn't something dangerous.
But this time was different, because they found that since this kind of decoration became popular, the little wizards were not as nervous as before during class, and their mentality was very good.
To be honest, professors don’t know whether this is a good thing or not.
