Kyle was not a man who would waste time. After he came up with an idea, he asked Connor to go back to the dormitory first, and he immediately went to the Gryffindor tower.
But unfortunately, when he arrived, he found that Percy was not in the dormitory, and after asking around, no one knew where he had gone.
There was no choice but to put the matter on hold for the time being.
I can only say that Banban is not so lucky.
When Kyle returned to the Hufflepuff common room, Connor was curled up on a sofa in the corner with her mouse, looking nervously at the window sill opposite.
There, a huge owl was looking at her with a vicious look... and the mouse in its hand would smack its lips from time to time.
Rodan had never seen such a fat mouse before, with shiny fur and a plump body. In the eyes of an owl, this was the best food, and it was a little greedy.
Of course, it also knew that the mouse was the little witch's pet and it must not be eaten, so it was enough to just satisfy its eyes.
But the problem was that Kanna didn't know what it was thinking. When Kyle came over, the little witch was clutching the corner of her clothes with a pale face, and there were obvious sweat stains on her forehead.
To be honest, she had never been this nervous before, even when she discovered that the Galleons were missing.
It wasn't until Kyle distracted Rodan's attention with a piece of Mothra rat jerky that Kanna's face regained some color.
Kyle walked over and spread his hands and said, "I didn't find Percy. He's not in Gryffindor Tower."
"Um."
Kanna didn't think too much about it. In her opinion, other voles were ugly and Pochi would definitely not like them, otherwise he wouldn't have kept playing with hamsters.
The main reason was that Kyle ran too fast at the time and didn't give her a chance to refuse.
Now this result couldn't be better.
Kanna sent Pochi back to the dormitory. When she came out, she felt a lot more relaxed and even bared her teeth at Laton in revenge.
Rodan flapped his wings and flew out of the window. Before leaving, he turned back and glanced at her, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.
This made the little witch very angry.
"Why are you mad at it?" Kyle shook his head with amusement, then took out ten Galleons and placed them on the table.
"I don't want it!"
Before Kyle could say anything, Kanna shook her head firmly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's really not necessary."
"But it's still a long time before Christmas." Kyle frowned and said, "Even if you don't have to worry about food, what about parchment and ink? They all cost Galleons, you can't just not buy them.
Or did you bring enough stock before school started?"
At Hogwarts, parchment and ink were consumed very quickly. The ones required in the admission letter were not enough and would be gone in a month at most.
So generally speaking, the young wizards would ask the prefects to bring some back when they went to Hogsmeade.
Although it is not expensive, just a few cents will do, but it still costs money, and no one will give it to you in coins.
"I..." Connor was silent. Apparently Kyle's words reminded her that even in Hogwarts, there was not a single Nat that was needed.
But even so, she shook her head and said, "I'll find a way."
Kyle tried to persuade her several times, using facts and reason, but Connor was unexpectedly stubborn on this point. She didn't want anything except the rat tonic.
She even refused the parchment Kyle gave her.
"You were really nice to that rat."
Connor thought for a moment and said, "I think they should know each other. I met Rawl and Yaxley at a banquet a few years ago. They were both in Slytherin, also first-year students.
But I don’t know if they still remember me, because I haven’t been to that kind of party for a long time.”
"It doesn't matter. Just an impression is enough." Kyle pondered for a moment and then said, "Kanna, do you want to earn Galleons yourself?"
"Earn Galleons...by yourself?" Kanna seemed to have not reacted yet.
"Yes, earn it yourself, like an adult."
Kyle tapped the table with his fingers and said, "I have a way at Hogwarts. Although it may be a little difficult for you, the profit is very high. After the deal is done, you don't have to worry about parchment and other things, and you can even buy a lot of snacks.
How about it, do you want to try it? "
Kanna didn't say anything, but she was obviously moved.
She had previously thought of helping others with their homework in exchange for parchment and ink, but she always felt guilty about doing this and was afraid that the professor would find out.
Now Kyle says there is another way, and she wants to try it.
Kyle didn't keep the secret and continued, "Remember the map Cedric gave you yesterday?"
Kanna nodded and said, "Yeah, I remember."
After the flying lesson yesterday, the second-year student Cedric gave each of them a map of Hogwarts. She had a deep impression of this.
She also heard that Ravenclaw also had such a map, but they had to buy it with money.
"This is it." Kyle slapped the gold-rimmed map that Cedric left him on the table and said, "This is the Slytherin version, but we are now lacking a middleman to sell it to them.
Why don’t you try it? Five Galleons per ticket, and we’ll split the profits 50-50.”
"Five Galleons?!" Kanna looked at Kyle in disbelief, and the look in her eyes was exactly the same as Rodan's just now.
How could these maps be worth three Galleons? This is too expensive. How could anyone buy them?
"There are only a dozen Sickles on the Ravenclaw side." Kanna whispered.
"This is a limited edition with gold trim, it's different from the ordinary ones." Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "We used the best materials and craftsmanship, and made it all by hand. It took us three full days to make ten of them, and there was no more.
Think about it, among the hundreds of people in Hogwarts, only ten people can own this limited edition map. It is a symbol of identity and status. Isn't it worth five Galleons?"
“…”
Kanna felt a little dizzy, but after hearing what Kyle said, it seemed that the five Galleons were really worth it.
She thought for a moment and then said, "But school has already started for three days and all the classes have been attended. Can this map really be sold?"
"You don't have to worry about that." Kyle said calmly: "Hogwarts doesn't just have classrooms, there are also libraries, school hospitals, professors' offices and other places, and the freshmen don't know where these places are.
And don’t forget that the stairs in the main building will also change. Who knows where it will move to the next day? What if it is a road that has never been walked?
It’s definitely not an option to wait there as it would be a waste of time, but it’s easy to get lost if I walk. No matter which choice I make, I’ll be late.
At this time, the importance of the map is reflected, especially a map that marks the changing patterns of most stairs.
So don’t worry, someone will definitely buy it.”
