Chapter 628: They are so rich
Chapter 628 They are really rich
“Oh, dear Professor Diggory.”
A few days later, on the weekend, on the way to Hogsmeade, Fred winked at Cedric and said, "Please allow me to say hello to you and offer my humble respect."
George also suppressed a smile and looked at him seriously, "If it is possible, Professor, can you exempt us from our homework?"
Cedric rubbed his forehead in distress.
Although he had long known that these two people would make fun of him, Cedric still felt a headache after seeing their playful faces in the foyer this morning.
Because they were afraid of being overheard and reported to Umbridge by others, they were quite restrained when they were in the castle, but as luck would have it, today was Hogsmeade week.
After leaving school, the two of them naturally had no scruples and teased Cedric as if they were in a stage play.
"Shut up, you two!" Qiu said angrily: "You don't have to participate at all."
“No, of course we want to participate!” George said.
"Yes." Fred nodded, "Let's learn Defense Against the Dark Arts ourselves... It's a great idea. I'm fed up with that **** Umbridge!"
"No, this is Hermione's idea." Cedric corrected: "And I don't know if I am willing to participate."
"You can rest assured about this." Fred said, "We already asked you last night. Seventeen people from Gryffindor alone wanted to participate..."
“So many?” Cedric paused and stopped where he was.
"Is it much? Not at all." Fred shook his head and said, "Obviously everyone, like us, has been dissatisfied with that Umbridge for a long time. Now that we have such an opportunity to learn real skills, of course we will not miss it."
“And this is only the first batch.” George said, “We mainly feel that the first gathering with too many people is a bit conspicuous, and more people will definitely join in the future.”
“Oh.” Cedric rubbed his forehead.
He originally thought that ten Hufflepuffs would be enough, but he didn't expect that Gryffindor would be even more exaggerated.
If you add Ravenclaw's...
He turned to look at Qiu, "There won't be so many people from Ravenclaw."
"Didn't I just say that?" Qiu blinked, "Okay, I forgot, but we are not as active as the Gryffindor students. Only a few of us are interested in learning Defense Against the Dark Arts by ourselves."
Hearing what she said, Cedric breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from this, the number of people should not exceed thirty, which was still within the acceptable range.
If there were more people, he might not be able to cope with it.
The group of people quickly crossed the path and arrived at the entrance to Hogsmeade Village.
Hermione is already waiting for them here in advance.
"How about we go there now." She trotted over and said, "As agreed before, go to the Pig Head Bar."
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry," Fred said, "Isn't the party time at ten o'clock? There's still an hour left."
"I know." Hermione said, "But I think we should prepare in advance to see who is there, and if there are professors, change the location in time."
“Professors won’t go to that kind of place.” George whispered: “They will only go to the cleaner and busier Three Broomsticks.”
"Hermione is right." Cedric walked over, "It's better to be cautious. I'll go with you."
“I’ll go too,” Qiu said, “I’ve never been to the Pig’s Head Bar, so I’d like to go check it out.”
“I’d say there’s not much to see in that place,” said Fred. “We went there once before by accident because we took the wrong route.”
“The environment is too bad. It can’t be compared with Three Broomsticks. The only advantage is that there are fewer people.”
“Maybe it’s because of the poor environment there that few people are willing to go.”
…
Although Hermione expressed doubts about their so-called "accidental", she didn't say anything.
"It doesn't matter, I don't have anything to do at the moment anyway." Cedric said, "You guys should go to Zuko first?"
“No way, we need a little inspiration recently.” George said, “There are too many things to prepare to open a joke store, especially the products must be attractive enough.”
“Okay then.” Cedric nodded, “We’ll see you later.”
After saying that, he, Qiu and Hermione left the main road and walked towards another remote path.
“See you soon.” Fred waved and ran with George to Zuko’s Joke Shop not far away to find inspiration.
Kyle also did not go to the Pig Head Bar. Instead, he and Kangna went to the Fengya Wizard Clothing Store.
He discovered a few days ago that his thick robe was a bit too small and he had to get a new one before winter came. Fengya Wizard Clothing Store is in the second half of the main road, next to the Screaming Shack.
By the time the two of them entered the store, there were already students here.
Two Slytherin girls, and Kyle knew both of them.
Daphne Greengrass, and her sister Astoria.
When they walked into the store, Astoria was looking at the weird brooches, and Daphne was staring at a beautiful dress robe on the shelf with bright eyes.
“This is a new product.”
The owner of the clothing store is a witch in her thirties. At this time, she is introducing the dress robe to her.
“Have you seen those golden lines? Those are real gold threads, the silver ones are unicorn tail hairs, and the gems dotted on them are from fire crabs. They are all complete and rare products.”
“How much?” Daphne couldn’t help but ask.
“Only three hundred galleons, my dear.” The shopkeeper said with a smile, “This is my most satisfying work so far.”
Kyle subconsciously looked at the dress robe and suddenly wanted to laugh, but in the end he held it back.
Daphne on the side frowned.
Three hundred galleons was a bit expensive even for her, but she really liked the gorgeous dress robe.
"You should still have a lot of pocket money." Daphne looked at her sister and asked.
"Huh?" Astoria came to her senses, then took out an exquisite money bag and said, "It's not a lot, only a hundred galleons."
"That's enough. Lend it to me first." Daphne took Astoria's purse and said, "I need to try on this dress."
"Of course, no problem." The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "Please follow me."
Then the two of them walked towards the back of the store together.
“You carry a hundred galleons with you, that’s not much?” Kang Na whispered: “They are really rich.”
Hearing her words, Kyle seemed to think of something and suddenly laughed.
“What are you laughing at?” Kangna asked.
“It’s nothing, I just thought of the first time we met on the train when school started.” Kyle said, “You were just like them at that time.”
“What?” Kangna didn’t understand.
“Have you forgotten?” Kyle explained: “On the train you dumped a bunch of Galleons on the table and startled me and Cedric.
“We felt the same way you do now, that wizards from pure-blood families are really rich.”
“That was how long ago.” Seeing her dark history being revealed, Kang Na glared at Kyle angrily.
“Yeah, it’s been a long time,” Kyle said, then changed the subject: “What do you think of that gown?”
"It's too fancy." Kangna said with some disdain: "It looks good, but there are too many embellishments, which makes it look a bit weird, and it must be very uncomfortable to wear."
“But some people like this style.” Kangna added: “At last year’s Christmas ball, many people wore this gorgeous dress robe.”
"Is there any?" Kyle asked. He couldn't remember what everyone wore at the dance.
"Of course there are, and there are quite a few." Connor said. "After the dance, Letty talked about it all night. I couldn't help but listen. And in the next few days, their topic was always about those beautiful women. dress robe.”
"All right."
Although Kyle and Connor spoke very quietly, they still attracted the attention of Astoria next to them.
After all, there were only three people in the store now, so it was difficult for her not to pay attention. However, because the distance was a bit far away, she didn't hear clearly what the two said.
And it seemed that she was afraid of being misunderstood as deliberately eavesdropping on others, so she deliberately walked to a farther place.
And her move was naturally noticed by Kyle and Kang Na.
“She really doesn’t look like a Slytherin,” Connor said.
"No." Kyle said, "I should say it's just not like the current Slytherin."
