Kyle guessed what Ron was thinking at a glance, but he didn't care at all.

What does the conflict between Malfoy and the three have to do with him, a Hufflepuff? Besides, his mother Diana graduated from Slytherin, so why should he hate them?

Kyle glanced at Ron and said casually, "What's so strange about this? Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor were once friends, and close friends, just like you and Potter.

What, if Potter had been sorted into Slytherin, you wouldn't have spoken to him?"

"Of course not!" Ron said hurriedly, "But these are two different things..."

"That's just your opinion." Kyle was a little impatient, frowning and said, "Don't forget that I'm a Hufflepuff, and we have a good relationship with every college.

Oh, and one more thing...half of your new wand is donated by Slytherin. If you can't accept this, I can write to Mrs. Weasley and ask for Charlie's old wand for you."

Ron stammered a few times. He felt that Kyle was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Because Hufflepuff does have a very 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, it goes without saying that it was the only new thing on him and there was no way he could replace it.

Kyle didn't look at Ron again after he finished speaking, but took Connor to the Hufflepuff common room and said to Hagrid, "Hagrid, we're going back first. See you later."

"Come on, this year's dinner will not disappoint you." Hagrid said with a smile, then he turned to look at Harry, "Sorry, I have to go too, Professor McGonagall is still waiting to decorate the last Christmas tree."

After the three of them left, Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief and said self-deprecatingly, "Did I look stupid just now?"

Harry and Hermione looked at each other and shook their heads.

Ron's reaction was normal. Even they were surprised when they found out that Kyle and Malfoy had a good relationship.

They just didn't say it.

"In fact, Kyle helped us." Harry whispered, "I noticed that Snape had been standing not far away. He must have been waiting for us to clash with Malfoy so that he could take the opportunity to deduct points."

Ron looked up quickly, but apart from a few students who were going to the hall to attend the banquet, there was no sign of Snape.

"Believe me, this is true." Harry tried his best to explain: "I really saw Snape just now. He was standing at 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 dungeon to the great hall. It is normal to see Snape here. There is nothing strange about it.

"Don't worry about that for now." Hermione frowned and said, "Aren't you curious? What exactly is that thing that Kyle gave Malfoy? It's worth a hundred Galleons."

"Wait, what did you just say..." Ron was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "One hundred Galleons?!"

His mind was occupied with other things just now, and he didn't pay attention to what Kyle said.

"Yeah, 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 vault, he had never spent so much money at once.

His biggest expense so far had been the seven Galleons for his wand.

"Merlin's beard..."

Ron suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground. He now understood Kyle a little.

"I remember there's still some time before the banquet starts." Harry asked suddenly.

"Thirteen minutes to be exact." Hermione frowned and said, "You don't mean to..."

"Aren't you curious...what exactly is that thing?"

Harry lowered his voice and said, "The Quidditch pitch isn't that far from here. We should still have time to go there now."

"Then 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 closely behind, quickly following.

The three of them quickly arrived at the stadium, but in order to avoid being discovered by Malfoy, they did not dare to go in. Instead, they huddled near the entrance and looked inside cautiously.

Ten minutes later, they were back at the castle, just in time for Christmas dinner.

The hall was decorated magnificently, with parasites and holly hanging from the walls.

The twelve Christmas trees were hung with different decorations, including ice crystals, snowflakes, candles, golden bubbles, and gift boxes containing various small gadgets...and I don't know whose idea it was, but there was actually a ghost hanging on one of the trees.

There are also many familiar faces of the little wizards, such as Nico who is almost headless, and the fat monk...

They floated on the Christmas tree and enthusiastically greeted and cared for every little wizard who passed by.

Under normal circumstances, Harry would definitely be attracted by this unique decoration, but now he just took a glance and didn't pay any more attention to it.

The same went for Hermione and Ron, and the three of them hurried over to the Gryffindor table.

As soon as he sat down, Harry couldn't wait to ask, "Did you notice that the snake that spits fireworks must be ten feet long...it was only the size of a fist before, how did it do that?"

"I don't know, Harry." Ron shook his head. "I only know that Malfoy actually spent a hundred Galleons on a toy..."

"I've told you many times, that's not a toy!"

Hermione gave him an annoyed look.

"That is a magical item that combines the expansion spell, the bluebell fire spell, and high-end transfiguration!"

"Well...magic toys," Ron muttered.

No matter what Hermione said, it still couldn't change the fact that it was a cheering tool.

That thing is just a toy.

One hundred Galleons to buy a toy, this 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 in annoyance. She thought about it all the way and couldn't understand why the Bluebell Flame Charm could change color.

But this was impossible, she had never seen anything like this in a book.
