Chapter 254 Buy, buy, buy
After some haggling, Kyle finally bought the ball of gillyweed for fifteen galleons.
Originally Mrs. Prior insisted on charging seventeen galleons.
But after Kyle easily used the bubble head spell, she immediately dropped another two galleons, and also said that she could give away a bag of white fresh and rue seeds.
Kyle also saw that this was her final bottom line, so she gave it up and completed the transaction happily.
Mrs. Prior put the gillyweed into a transparent box and sighed: "I just see that you like magical plants. If it were someone else, you wouldn't have such a big discount."
…Including those seeds, I lost ten galleons. "
Kyle smiled and said nothing.
The shopkeepers in Diagon Alley are all very shrewd. Mrs. Prior will not let herself lose too much...at least the price of her purchase of gillyweed is definitely not twenty galleons.
Of course, this kind of thing is tacit, just know it in your heart, and he did make a small profit this time.
You can’t buy gillyweed for fifteen galleons elsewhere.
After leaving Mrs. Prior's Magical Botanical Garden, Kyle carefully put the small box into his deformed lizard skin bag.
His trunk is still with Dumbledore, and now he can only make do with this.
“Hi, Kyle!”
Hearing someone calling him, Kyle looked up and saw Harry, Hermione and Ron standing at the door of the Literary Residence store nearby.
Each of them also held a big piece of strawberry and peanut ice cream in their hands.
"Magical Botanic Gardens?" Harry said with some surprise, "I thought you would be reading somewhere like Percy."
"I've been reading for more than a month, and I have to do something else," Kyle said.
“I heard from Ron that you stayed in Mr. Nicoléme’s private library for a month.” Hermione said with envy: “Six hundred years of collection of books... it must be great there.”
"Although I don't want to show off..." Kyle smiled: "But the one-month experience has really benefited me a lot."
"It's so nice..." Hermione became even more envious, "I also want to take a look, even if it's just for a glance..."
“There will be a chance,” Kyle said.
"Hermione, isn't the school library enough for you to read?" Ron curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "There are hundreds of bookshelves there. I dare say even Principal Dumbledore can't read them all. Those books.”
Hermione gave him an annoyed look.
Although what he said is correct, a private library and a library are two different things...and the more books you can read, the better.
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Harry quickly changed the subject and said, "Kyle, we are going to buy parchment and ink. Do you want to come with us?"
“Okay, I just want to buy these too.”
Then the four of them walked into the Wenrenju store together.
As soon as he entered the door, Kyle went straight to the counter where the parchment paper and ink were placed, pointed to the two bottom shelves, and asked, "These should be enough for you."
"That's enough." Harry nodded repeatedly, "It's mainly Hermione who needs it. Ron and I just need to buy a little bit."
"Well…"
Kyle looked at the clerk, then waved his hand, "Except these two... wrap everything else for me!"
"Plop..." Harry's ice cream fell to the ground.
He looked at Kyle dumbfounded, and for a moment he suspected that he had heard wrong just now.
“Kyle, you just said... you want to buy all the parchment and ink here?”
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Kyle asked, "Oh, if you don't have enough, I can buy less."
"Crack!" Ron's ice cream also fell.
"There are at least three thousand sheets of parchment here...have you bought them all?"
In his opinion, even if he eats parchment and drinks ink, he won't be able to use so much in one school year.
But Kyle just spread his hands.
Three thousand pieces of parchment, even if you use them sparingly, can only copy a hundred books... He still thinks it's not enough.
Compared to Harry and Ron, the store clerk next to him had a much better psychological quality. After a brief surprise, he quickly helped Kyle move all the parchment down.
“That’s right.” Kyle suddenly said: “Where are the gold-plated parchments you have here? Give me twenty pieces too.”
“No, no problem!”
The clerk quickly ran to the exquisite shelf behind the counter and carefully opened a transparent cabinet door...
While the clerk was getting things, Hermione came over and whispered:
“Kyle, you bought so much parchment, are you doing it to make a map?”
She hesitated for a moment and continued: "If that's the case, I don't think you need to buy so many... In fact, I found someone making that kind of map before the holiday. You may not be able to sell many this year."
“Thank you for reminding me, but you don’t have to worry about this.” Kyle waved his hand, “Our products are not static, this year’s map is definitely a brand new version that you have never seen before.
And I didn’t buy all of these just for making maps, there are other uses as well. "
Although Hermione was very curious, she didn't say anything in the end.
She thought for a while, took out a few galleons from her purse, and bought all the remaining parchment.
Harry looked at the empty shelves and said, "Hermione, what should we do!"
Hermione said without raising her head: "There should be another parchment here."
"some."
The clerk wrapped the gold-edged parchment and then tapped the counter with his wand.
New parchment and ink immediately appeared on the shelves, but the quantity was much less than before.
…
Because of the big customer Kyle, Harry, Hermione, and Ron also got a good discount.
After coming out of the store, Hermione glanced at Kyle and asked, "The box you took out just now has the Traceless Stretch Charm on it, right?"
“It’s obvious, isn’t it?” Kyle nodded, “A normal box cannot hold more than three thousand pieces of parchment.”
"So, on Halloween..." Hermione suddenly realized something in the middle of her sentence and quickly closed her mouth.
“What happened to Halloween?” Harry turned around.
"Nothing." Hermione said vaguely: "I suddenly remembered that Kyle decorated a pumpkin with magic during Halloween, and wanted to ask him what spell he used."
"Oh..." Harry responded casually and didn't care.
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. While Harry and Ron were discussing where to go next, she lowered her voice and asked, "The box you used to put the troll on Halloween must also have been under the Invisible Stretch Charm."
“You guessed it right…”
Kyle didn’t deny it, “It’s just another one.”
Thanks to the book friend An Yi Sendai for the 500 reward (super loud)
