After some bargaining, Kyle finally bought the bunch of gillweed for fifteen galleons.
Originally, Mrs. Prior had insisted on charging seventeen Galleons.
But after Kyle easily used the Bubble Head Charm, she immediately reduced the price by two more Galleons, and also said that she could give him a bag of dill and rue seeds as a gift.
Kyle also realized that this was her bottom line, so he decided to quit while he was ahead and completed the deal very happily.
Mrs. Prior put the gillyweed into a transparent box and sighed, "I just saw that you like magical plants. If it were someone else, there wouldn't be such a big discount ... Including the seeds, I lost ten Galleons."
Kyle smiled but said nothing.
The shopkeepers in Diagon Alley are all very shrewd. Madam Prior will not let herself lose too much... At least the price she paid for the Gillyweed was definitely not twenty Galleons.
Of course, this kind of thing is tacitly understood, and it is enough to just know it in your heart, and he did make a small profit this time.
You can't buy gillyweed for fifteen galleons anywhere else.
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, so he can only make do with this for now.
"Hi, Kyle!"
Hearing someone calling him, Kyle looked up and saw Harry, Hermione and Ron standing at the door of the Wenrenju store next to him.
Each of them was holding a big piece of strawberry peanut ice cream in their hands.
"Magical Botanical Gardens?" Harry said in surprise, "I thought you would be reading somewhere like Percy."
"I've been reading for over a month, and I have to do something else," Kyle said.
"I heard from Ron that you spent a month in Mr. Nicolas Flamel's private library." Hermione said enviously, "Six hundred years of collections of books... It must be great there."
"Although I don't want to brag..." Kyle said with a smile, "but this month's experience has indeed benefited me a lot."
"That's great..." Hermione was even more envious, "I want to go and see it, even if it's just for a glance..."
"There will be a chance," Kyle said.
"Hermione, isn't the school library enough for you?" Ron pouted and muttered, "There are hundreds of bookshelves there. I dare say even Headmaster Dumbledore can't finish reading all those books."
Hermione gave him an annoyed look.
Although what he said was true, a private library and a library are two different things... and the more books you can read, the better.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, Harry quickly changed the subject and said, "Kyle, we are going to buy parchment and ink. Do you want to come with us?"
"Sure, I'm going 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 parchment and ink were placed, pointed to the two bottom shelves, and asked, "These should be enough for you, right?"
"That's enough." Harry nodded repeatedly. "It's mainly for Hermione. Ron and I only need to buy a little bit."
"Well then..."
Kyle looked at the clerk, then waved his hand, "Except for these two...pack up the rest!"
"Plop..." Harry's ice cream fell to the ground.
He stared at Kyle in amazement, doubting for a moment that he had just heard wrongly.
"Kyle, you just said... you wanted 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."
“Snap!”
"There are at least 3,000 sheets of parchment here...have you bought them all?"
In his opinion, even if he ate parchment and drank ink, he wouldn't use that much in a school year.
But Kyle just spread his hands.
Three thousand sheets of parchment, even if used sparingly, could only copy a hundred books... and he still thought it was not enough.
Compared to Harry and Ron, the clerk next to them had a much better mental state. After a brief surprise, he quickly helped Kyle move all the parchments down.
"Oh, right." Kyle suddenly said, "Give me twenty pieces of the gilded parchment you have here."
"No, no problem!"
The clerk hurried to the exquisite shelf behind the counter and carefully opened a transparent door...
While the clerk was getting something, Hermione came over and whispered, "Kyle, you bought so much parchment, aren't you going 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, before the holiday, I found out that someone was making that kind of map. You may not be able to sell many this year."
"Thanks for the reminder, but you don't have to worry about that." 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 to make maps, there are other uses for them.”
Although Hermione was very curious, she didn't say anything in the end.
She thought about it, took out a few more Galleons from her wallet, and bought all the remaining parchments.
Harry looked at the empty shelves, "Hermione, what should we do!"
Without looking up, Hermione said, "There should be another piece of 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 in much smaller quantities than before.
…
Because of Kyle as a big customer, Harry, Hermione and Ron also got a good discount.
After coming out of the store, Hermione glanced at Kyle and asked, "The box you just took out has a traceless extension spell, right?"
"That's obvious, isn't it?" Kyle nodded. "More than three thousand pieces of parchment can't fit in a normal box."
"So, on Halloween, you..." Hermione was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something and quickly shut her mouth.
"What happened to Halloween?" Harry turned around.
"Nothing." Hermione said vaguely: "I suddenly remembered that Kyle used magic to decorate a pumpkin on Halloween, and I wanted to ask him what spell he used."
"Oh..." Harry responded casually and didn't care.
Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief. When Harry and Ron were discussing where to go next, she lowered her voice and asked, "You also used the Untraceable Extension Charm on the box you used to hold the troll on Halloween, right?"
"You guessed right..."
Kyle didn't deny it either, "It's just that it's another one."
Thanks to the book friend An Yixiantai for the 500 reward (very loud)
