Chapter 629: Discounts among peers
Chapter 629: Preferential benefits among peers
About twenty minutes later, the shopkeeper and Daphne finally came out.
"Just change it as you said and send it to Hogwarts tomorrow, no problem." said Daphne, who was walking at the front.
"No problem." The shopkeeper said with a smile, "I will definitely send the dress to Hogwarts on time."
"Okay." Daphne nodded, turned and walked out the door accompanied by the store owner, "We're going back, Astoria."
When passing by Kyle and Connor, Astoria greeted them politely, but Daphne just snorted and said nothing.
Kyle shook his head helplessly. This was not the first time this happened.
Since the start of school this year, some Slytherin's attitude towards him has changed drastically.
For example, Malfoy.
Although the relationship between Kyle and him was not very good before, it was not bad either. Coupled with the other's money making ability, there was quite a lot of overlap.
But this year is different. The two of them haven't spoken a word for so long since school started, and they haven't even seen each other a few times.
Kyle felt that he seemed to be avoiding him on purpose. Lucius Malfoy should have specifically told him before school started.
In addition, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, Maldom and other major clients who had contributed galleons to him also uncharacteristically distanced themselves from him.
Under their influence, other Slytherins gradually became colder towards him, and Daphne was one of them.
As a friend of Pansy and Millicent, this is natural.
Facing her attitude, Kyle, who originally wanted to say something, didn't mind his own business and watched them quietly as they walked out of the clothing store.
After seeing them off, the shopkeeper came over and asked, "What do you two want to buy?"
“I want to make a new school uniform for winter.” Kyle said.
Like Madam Malkin's Robe Shop in Diagon Alley, this place also has a custom-made Hogwarts school uniform business, and the prices are similar.
“Is it just a school uniform?” the shopkeeper asked, “Would you like a cloak, a dragon skin cloak? I’ll keep you warm after wearing it.”
“No need.” Kyle glanced at the most expensive cloak on the display rack, three hundred galleons.
Although the price is not particularly expensive according to the dragon skin cloak, it is a complete dragon skin cloak.
The one in front of me is a cloak spliced together by magic. The upper part has a bit of blue, which should be the Swedish Brachysaurus, and the lower part is the unique gray-white color of the Ukrainian iron belly.
It’s just that the person who made the cloak did a good job and covered it up with a unique pattern, making it difficult for ordinary people to see it.
"What about Durmstrang's cloak of the same style?" The shopkeeper didn't give up yet and continued: "It only costs twenty galleons."
Kyle shook his head again, "Just make a school uniform."
Hearing what Kyle said, the shop owner slowly put away his smile.
Hogwarts school uniforms are items with a clear price tag, and unless the quantity is large, you will not make any money at all.
“Okay,” said the shopkeeper.
Then a tape measure automatically flew over and began to measure Kyle's height, while the store owner himself returned behind the counter and sorted out the things on it, without any of the previous enthusiasm.
But Kyle didn’t care about it either.
A few minutes later, the tape measure snapped shut and he walked to the counter, reaching into his pocket to pay.
I don’t know if it was because there were too many things in his pocket, but when Kyle was taking out money, he accidentally took out a few small items.
A few short silver-white hairs and an irregular ruby.
“There are too many things,” Kyle said, quickly putting them back into his pocket and asking, “How much.”
The shopkeeper’s eyes flashed, and after pondering for a moment he said: “One galleung.”
“So cheap?” Kangna blurted out, thinking she heard wrongly,
It’s not like she hasn’t bought anything before.
One galleons, not to mention Madam Malkin's robe shop, even in the second-hand shops in Diagon Alley, you can't find such cheap school uniform robes... let alone thick robes in winter. “Yes, a galleone,” said the shopkeeper. , "This is the thousandth school uniform robe sold by our store, special discount."
Kyle smiled, took out a Galleung and put it on the counter, "How long will it take."
“Soon, just half an hour.”
…
“You’re really lucky, aren’t you.” After the two left the store, Kangna said happily: “It happens to be the thousandth piece.”
“Maybe it’s not just right.” Kyle said pointedly.
“Remember that dress robe we just discussed?”
“The one with three hundred galleons?”
"Yes." Kyle said, "If I guessed correctly, the color of the unicorn tail hair on that dress is wrong. It is most likely that the mane was spliced together by magic, disguised as tail hair, and The Fire Crab gemstone is also carved from broken gemstones...
"I dare say that the total amount of those materials is only twenty galleons at most. It is not as good as she said."
“Mane and broken gems?” Kangna asked curiously: “How can you tell.”
“I’ve seen it a lot, so I know it.” Kyle shrugged and took out the short hair and gems from his pocket.
“Could this be what you just said...”
"That's right." Kyle nodded, "The raw materials for the dress robe, the mane and the broken gems, obviously the shop owner also recognized it just now."
Strictly speaking, Kyle feels that he and this boss are still half peers.
He has made something similar before, the most expensive customized map, also decorated with unicorn hair and fire crab gems.
They are all the same thing, how could he not see it?
However, this shopkeeper is much darker than him.
Kyle added in his mind... At least he didn't sell the map for two hundred galleons.
After leaving the store, it was almost ten o'clock, but Kyle was not in a hurry to go to the Pig's Head Bar. Instead, he found a seat by the window at the Three Broomsticks and drank a glass of pumpkin soda leisurely.
Looking out the window, the number of students outside slowly began to increase, but their routes were surprisingly consistent. At a glance, it was clear that they were going to the Pig Head Bar.
The paths that were once deserted are now full of people.
“There are more than thirty people here,” Kyle muttered.
Kanna also glanced out the window, "Why don't we go there?"
“If you’re curious, you can go and have a look.” Kyle said.
“Don’t you want to go?” Kangna asked.
"Hmm." Kyle nodded, "With so many people participating, someone will definitely reveal it, and Umbridge will know sooner or later.
"And my current identity should be the opposite of Professor Dumbledore, and I shouldn't appear there."
"Can't we ask them to sign a confidentiality agreement?" Connor thought for a moment, "Sign it before we start, and promise not to tell Umbridge about this."
"It's not of much use," Kyle said. "Even if you don't tell the truth on your own initiative, friends still have to chat with each other... maybe someone might have let it slip unintentionally, so there's no way to hide it."
"Is that so?" Kangna said, "Can we use a stricter contract? For example, we cannot discuss this matter in any form..."
"Yes, but not now." Kyle took a sip of pumpkin soda. "Most people are very resistant to contracts. No one is willing to sign a strict contract without knowing anything. contract.
“So, even if you want to keep it secret, you can only wait until the matter is really decided.”
"That's right." Kangna turned her head and glanced out the window again, "Then I won't go either."
