Hearing this, Cedric's eyes lit up and he said, "Can I ask you to make my owl tonic from now on?"

"Of course." Kyle glanced at the Tawny Owl on the shelf next to him and said, "But owls are different from mice. The tonics they need are more troublesome. I have to collect nine Sickles.

Don't think it's expensive, this is already the market price, and I got the formula from Newt. The tonic I brew is much better than those on the market, and it's definitely worth the money."

"Um……"

Cedric nodded.

This is true. In Diagon Alley, the cheapest owl tonic costs nine Sickles, and the better ones even cost one Galleon.

If Kyle's owl tonic recipe really came from Scamander, then it would be worth the money.

But...

"Can it be cheaper?" Cedric said shyly, "We are friends, so there should be a discount."

To be honest, Cedric really wanted to slam the table and buy seven or eight copies.

But he is only in the second grade and his pocket money is so limited, he is really short of money.

Although Hogwarts provided food and accommodation, the expenses for quills, ink, parchment, etc. were not small. Adding other miscellaneous items, it was just enough for a semester.

Although he could save a lot if he was a little more frugal and eliminated unnecessary expenses, the question was who would complain about having too much Garlon?

It would definitely be nice to get a discount.

Facing Cedric's hopeful eyes, Kyle touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "Well, you are right. We are friends, so we definitely can't use the market price."

"Right, right." Cedric's eyes brightened.

"How about this..." Kyle gritted his teeth, held up a finger and said, "You just need to pay this amount."

Cedric asked in surprise, "One Sickle?"

Kyle shook his head. "No, it's one Galleon."

“…”

Cedric still had the same smile on his face, but his tone had changed.

"One, one Galleon!"

“Is this a discount?”

"Yes, it's 20% off." Kyle said seriously, "Think about it, in Hogwarts, except for those Slytherin brothers and sisters, who else would spend Galleons on owl tonics? It's hard for me to do business.

Now that I finally have a clear customer who will not turn hostile, I will definitely make more money.”

“…”

Cedric was stunned, and when he looked at Kyle, the corner of his eye twitched.

How shameless! How could you say such a thing to his face? And you are so confident about it. Do you have any basic moral values ​​of a wizard?

Cedric was so angry that he was shaking all over. He took a deep breath and said, "Kyle, you will definitely be assigned to Azkaban."

"I'll lend you my good words."

Kyle raised his eyebrows, not caring at all. He even asked, "Do you still want that owl tonic?"

"want……"

Cedric squeezed out a word through his teeth.

But just as he was about to pay, the carriage door was pushed open again.

A small figure walked in nervously.

A very pretty little girl, with brown hair tied into two ponytails and a little baby fat on her round face, she looked like a newborn.

Hmm? Kyle and Cedric looked at each other at the same time.

I don't know her!

Although neither of them spoke, they miraculously understood what the other wanted to express, because it was exactly the same as what they wanted to say.

After understanding what Cedric meant, Kyle looked over again and asked in confusion: "Did we go to the wrong car?"

The little girl seemed to be a little socially anxious. When Kyle asked her this, she subconsciously wanted to run out, but then she held back and shook her head and said, "No, I'm not in the wrong place. I want to find you."

"Looking for me?"

Kyle was even more confused. He was sure that he didn't know the girl in front of him.

Ignoring Cedric's teasing look, Kyle continued to ask, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

As he spoke, he looked at the girl again.

I really don't know her, and she and Chris don't have the slightest similarity, so we can basically rule out some melodramatic plots.

For example, suddenly having a younger sister before going to school.

"Um...I just overheard your conversation in the corridor."

The girl's voice was very soft and sounded weak. Maybe she was worried that the two would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained, "Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. The red-haired senior forgot to close the door. It was really an accident..."

But Kyle obviously didn't care about such a small matter. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Keep talking."

The Hogwarts Express was like this, with poor soundproofing. Even if he closed the door tightly, he could still hear the shouting in the corridor, and it should be the same outside.

Besides, they didn't deliberately lower their voices when Percy came just now, so it was normal for others to hear them, and there was nothing strange about it.

Hearing Kyle say this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, then reached into her pocket and took out a big gray rat.

???

Kyle looked at the scene in front of him and felt like he had seen it before, as if he had just experienced the exact same scene.

Oh, by the way, that's how Percy took out Scabbers just now. Their movements were exactly the same, even the rats they took out were of the same species.

Is this a classic reappearance? Thinking of this, Kyle's heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously looked at the rat.

The claws are still there, so it should be a real mouse.

Kyle shook his head in self-mockery, feeling that he was a little too nervous.

That is to say, there are not so many illegal Animagus in the wizarding world. Even if there are, they would not all turn into rats and lurk around young wizards.

One freak like Peter Pettigrew is enough.

After calming down, Kyle roughly guessed the other party's intention and asked tentatively, "So, you want to buy rat tonic from me?"

He had a rat with him, and mentioned Percy, plus their previous topics were basically all about pet tonics... Putting all these together, Kyle couldn't think of any other reason except rat tonics.

"May I?"

Sure enough, after hearing Kyle's words, the girl nodded, looked at Kyle hopefully with her big watery eyes, and whispered, "I've bought a lot of tonics in Diagon Alley, but the effects are not very good."

"Of course, it's my pleasure."

After realizing that the girl in front of him was a customer, Kyle immediately smiled sincerely and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get it.

By the way, my name is Kyle Chopper, a freshman this year, you can call me Kyle."

"Kon...Kana."

The girl's chubby face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "Connor Prince."
