Only this time, there was a pile of golden Galleons on the table in front of them.

"one two three……"

"No need to count..." Kyle glanced at Cedric, raised his eyebrows and said, "No more, no less, exactly sixty Galleons."

"So many..." Cedric opened his mouth, feeling dizzy and like he was dreaming.

…

In fact, it really was like a dream. Today's plan went surprisingly smoothly.

Although Kanna was so nervous that she completely forgot the specific procedures and took out the map like a salesman as soon as they met.

No, a salesperson would at least say hello and say a few polite words, instead of just going straight to the point like Kanna did.

Kyle and Cedric were stunned by this scene, and they were a little hesitant about whether to continue acting.

But they soon had their answer.

Because the reactions of Rawl and Yaxley were equally surprising.

Without even waiting for Kanna to speak, they eagerly asked about the origin of the map after seeing the gold edge on it.

After learning that these tickets were limited to ten, he changed his arrogant attitude and started chatting with Kanna eagerly.

They held Kanna's arms, chatting and laughing as they recalled the fun things that happened at the party a few years ago, looking like close friends who had known each other for many years.

Connor accompanied them all the way in a daze. When she returned to the Hufflepuff table, she had ten more Galleons in her hand.

As for when exactly these Galleons came into her hands, Kanna had a vague impression.

It might have been in the corridor, or at the door of the auditorium.

Because Rawl and Yaxley were very good at chatting, on the way, they naturally shifted the topic from the banquet to the complex castle structure of Hogwarts, and then naturally asked Connor to help buy a map. After she agreed, the topic turned back seamlessly.

The whole process is very smooth, without any abrupt feeling.

Although Kanna's goal was the same as theirs, both sides cooperated with each other, which was why things went so smoothly.

But even so, Kyle had to admit that Slytherin did have a natural talent in socializing.

So at the dinner table, the first thing he said to Connor was, "Remember to stay away from Slytherin in the future, or you won't even know you've been sold out by them."

Cedric beside him also nodded in agreement.

In order to avoid any further complications, two gold-edged maps were delivered to Rawl and Yaxley after lunch.

After that, with their "promotion", it took less than two hours to sell all the remaining nine maps, except for the sample in Kanna's hands.

Some of the little snakes wanted to print their family crest on it.

Kyle originally disagreed, but they offered too much.

The price has doubled... who can resist this?

So in the end it became sixty Galleons.

"Divide the spoils... ahem, divide the Galleons."

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Kyle directly pushed half of the Galleons in front of Kanna: "We agreed before, split it equally."

"No, you counted wrong." Kanna shook her head, counted out ten Galleons and put them back, then looked at Kyle in confusion.

"It should be twenty Galleons divided equally between three people. Are you so bad at math?"

"I..." Kyle opened his mouth and felt a tightness in his chest.

Cedric almost died of laughter beside him.

Kyle, bad at math? He'll laugh about that for the whole school year.

Kyle pushed the twenty Galleons over unhappily. He didn't understand how Cedric, who used to be such a good person, could become like this.

Good man, you don’t even bother to gloat over other people’s misfortunes?

Cedric didn't care about Kyle's bad attitude at all. He picked up a Galleon and rubbed it carefully in his hand.

"This many Galleons are enough for me to buy ten evil bird feather pens."

"Evil Bird Feather Pen?" Kyle frowned and said, "What's so good about that thing? It's so expensive."

"It looks good." Cedric said as a matter of course, "I've had my eyes on the yellow one for a long time. That color goes well with Hufflepuff."

Kyle thought of something and grinned, then quickly returned to normal and said calmly, "Then you should buy a few more so that you can use them in rotation in the future."

"No, just buy one first." Cedric thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to give the rest to my father."

Hearing this, Kyle couldn't help but look at him. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Cedric continue, "Maybe if he's happy, he'll change the broom he gave me from the Sweeping Seven Stars to the Nimbus 1700."

Kyle swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The Nimbus cost 1,700 Galleons, which was two hundred Galleons more expensive than the Seven Stars Sweep. Twenty turned into two hundred. Cedric's abacus beads were about to burst on his face.

But you never know, with Mr. Diggory's character, after learning that Cedric joined the college team and earned a full twenty Galleons, he might actually buy him a Nimbus.

Kyle's eyes flashed, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, but it was too late now, so he could only wait until tomorrow.

…

After distributing the Galleons, Cedric went to the kitchen and brought back some cookies, desserts and other snacks, as well as a large pot of pumpkin juice.

The three of them held a small celebration in the common room.

Kyle picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and just took a sip when he saw Kanna across from him taking out seven or eight small bags and putting two Galleons into each bag.

"???"

Under Kyle's puzzled gaze, Connor explained: "I'm afraid of losing it again, so it's better to keep them separate."

Cedric asked in surprise: "Kanna, did you lose Galleons?"

"Yeah." Kanna nodded and briefly recounted what happened.

After listening to this, Cedric also put away his smile, thought seriously and said: "There shouldn't be any on the Quidditch field. After each flying class, Madam Hodge will check the field. If someone drops something, it will be found quickly.

And when I was training yesterday, I didn't hear about anyone picking up twenty Galleons.

How about this, I will ask other people for you tomorrow to see if anyone has seen Garlon."

"It's okay. I don't care anymore." Kanna pointed to the pile of small bags in front of her and smiled, "These are enough for me to use for a long time."

"Forehead……"

"I lost twenty Galleons, and you're just going to ignore it?"

Cedric said nothing. Somehow, the pumpkin juice in his hand seemed to have suddenly turned into lemonade.
