Chapter 188: Sky-high price toys
Chapter 188 Sky-high-priced toys
Ron knew that Kyle was very popular in school, but he never thought that he was also... friends with the annoying Malfoy?
This was a little hard for Ron to accept.
Kyle guessed what Ron was thinking after just one glance, but he didn't care at all.
The conflict between Malfoy and the three of them has nothing to do with him as a Hufflepuff. Besides, his mother Diana is a Slytherin graduate. Why should he hate each other?
Kyle glanced at Ron and said casually: "What's strange about this, Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were once friends, and they were close friends, just like you and Potter.
What, if Potter had been sorted into Slytherin, you wouldn't have talked to him? "
"Of course not!" Ron said hurriedly: "But these are two different things..."
"That's just your opinion." Kyle became a little impatient and frowned: "Don't forget that I am a Hufflepuff, and we have a good relationship with every college.
Oh, by the way, one more thing... half of your new wand is sponsored by Slytherin. If you can't accept this, I can write to Mrs. Weasley and ask for Charlie's old wand for you. . "
Ron murmured slightly at the corner of his mouth. He felt that what Kyle said was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Because Hufflepuff does have a good relationship with every house. Even Ravenclaw, who was given zero points in the competition, only had a cold war with them for half a month before they reconciled again.
As for the wand, that's not to mention it. It's the only new thing on him, and it can't be replaced anyway.
After Kyle finished speaking, he stopped looking at Ron and walked towards the Hufflepuff common room with Connor. By the way, he said to Hagrid:
“Hagrid, let’s go back first. See you later.”
"Go quickly, you will not be disappointed at this year's dinner." Hagrid said with a smile, and then he turned to look at Harry, "Sorry, I have to go too, Professor McGonagall is still waiting for the final arrangements There’s a Christmas tree.”
After the three people left, Ron let out a long sigh of relief and laughed at himself: "Did I look stupid just now?"
Harry and Hermione looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Ron's reaction was normal. Even they were surprised when they found out that Kyle and Malfoy had a good relationship.
It's just that they didn't say it out loud.
"Actually, Kyle helped us." Harry whispered: "I noticed that Snape had been standing not far away just now. He must have been waiting for us to have a conflict with Malfoy so that he could take the opportunity to deduct points. "
Ron quickly looked up, but except for a few students who were going to the auditorium to attend the banquet, there was no sign of Snape at all.
"Believe me, this is true." Harry tried his best to explain: "I really saw Snape just now. He was standing on the corner not far behind us. If you don't believe me, ask Hermione!"
"Yes, Harry is right." Hermione nodded perfunctorily.
This is the only way from the underground classroom to the auditorium. It is completely normal to see Snape. There is nothing strange about it.
"Don't worry about it for now." Hermione frowned and said, "Aren't you curious? What is that thing Kyle gave Malfoy? It's actually worth a hundred galleons."
"Wait, what did you just say..." Ron was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "One hundred galleons?!"
He had been thinking about other things just now and didn't pay attention to what Kyle said.
"Yes, one hundred galleons." Harry also remembered this and couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say, the Malfoy family is really rich."
Although Harry inherited a large sum of gold galleons from the Potter family's treasury, he had never spent so much money at once.
So far, his biggest expense was the seven galleons for a wand.
“Merlin’s beard…”
Ron suddenly felt weak in his legs and almost sat on the ground. He understood Kyle a little now. One hundred galleons... He had never even seen what ten galleons looked like together.
"I remember it's still some time before the party starts." Harry asked suddenly.
“Thirteen minutes to be exact.” Hermione frowned and said, “You don’t want to…”
“Aren’t you curious...what is that thing?”
Harry lowered his voice and said: "The Quidditch pitch is not far from here. We should be able to get there in time."
"What are you waiting for…"
Ron was the first to rush out of the castle gate and ran towards the Quidditch pitch without looking back.
Harry and Hermione followed quickly.
The three of them arrived at the stadium quickly, but in order not to be discovered by Malfoy, they did not dare to walk in. Instead, they huddled near the entrance of the passage and peered inside.
Ten minutes later, they returned to the castle, just in time for the Christmas dinner.
The auditorium was decorated very spectacularly, with hanging ribbons of mistletoe and holly hanging all over the walls.
Twelve Christmas trees are covered with different decorations, including ice crystals, snowflakes, candles, golden bubbles, gift boxes hiding various gadgets... And I don’t know whose idea it was, but one of the trees hung actually ghost.
There are also many familiar faces to the little wizards, such as Nico, who is almost headless, and the fat monk...
They floated on the Christmas tree, taking care of every little wizard who passed by enthusiastically.
Normally, Harry would have been attracted by this unique decoration, but now he just glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
The same goes for Hermione and Ron, and the three of them hurried to the Gryffindor table.
As soon as he sat down, Harry couldn't wait to ask: "Have you noticed that the snake that spits out fireworks must be ten feet long... It was only as big as a fist before. How did it do that?"
"I don't know, Harry." Ron shook his head and said, "I only know that Malfoy actually spent a hundred galleons to buy a toy..."
“I’ve told you many times, that’s not a toy!”
Hermione gave him an annoyed look.
“That is a magic item that combines the expansion spell, the blue bell fire spell, and the high-end transformation spell!”
“Well…magic toys.” Ron muttered under his breath.
No matter what Hermione said, it still couldn't change the fact that it was a cheering prop.
That thing is just a toy.
To buy a toy for a hundred galleons, the world must be crazy... No, it should be said that Malfoy is crazy.
Hermione heard Ron's complaints, but ignored him and just scratched her hair irritably. She thought about it and couldn't figure out why the Blue Bell Flame Spell could change the color.
But this is impossible, she has never seen anything like this in the book.
