About twenty minutes later, the owner and Daphne finally came out.

"Just do as you said and send it to Hogwarts tomorrow, is that ok?" said Daphne, who was walking in front.

"No problem." The shop owner said with a smile, "I will definitely deliver the dress to Hogwarts on time."

"Okay then." Daphne nodded and turned to walk out the door accompanied by the owner. "Let's go back, Astoria."

As she passed by Kyle and Connor, Astoria greeted them politely, but Daphne just snorted and said nothing.

Kyle shook his head helplessly. This was not the first time this had happened.

Since the beginning of this year's school, the attitude of some Slytherins towards him has changed drastically.

For example, Malfoy.

Although the relationship between Kyle and him was not very good before, it was not bad either. Coupled with the other's financial ability, they had a lot in common.

But this year is different. The two haven’t spoken a word to each other for such a long time since school started, and they haven’t even met each other a few times.

Kyle felt that he seemed to be avoiding him deliberately. It must be that Lucius Malfoy had specifically told him so before school started.

In addition, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, Maldom and other big clients who once contributed Galleons to him also distanced themselves from him in an unusual way.

Under their influence, other Slytherins gradually became colder towards him, and Daphne was one of them.

As a friend of Pansy and Millicent, this is only natural.

Faced with her attitude, Kyle, who was about to say something, did not meddle in the matter and quietly watched them walk out of the clothing store.

After seeing them off, the shop owner came over and asked, "What would you like to buy?"

"I want to make a new school uniform for winter," said Kyle.

Like Madam Malkin's robe shop in Diagon Alley, this place also provides tailor-made Hogwarts uniforms, and the prices are similar.

"Just a school uniform?" the shopkeeper asked. "How about a cloak? A dragon skin cloak. It will keep you warm."

"No thanks." Kyle glanced at the most expensive cloak on the display stand, which cost three hundred Galleons.

Although this price is not particularly expensive for a dragon skin cloak, it is for a complete dragon skin cloak.

The one in front of me is a cloak made of magic. The upper part is a little blue, which should be the Swedish short-nosed dragon, and the lower part is the grayish white color unique to the Ukrainian iron belly.

It’s just that the person who made the cloak did a good job of covering it up with a unique pattern, making it difficult for ordinary people to see.

"What about the same cloak as Durmstrang's?" The shopkeeper did not give up and continued, "Only twenty Galleons."

Kyle shook his head again, "Just make a school uniform."

Hearing what Kyle said, the owner slowly stopped smiling.

Hogwarts school uniforms are clearly priced, and you won't make any money unless you buy in large quantities.

"Okay." said the owner.

Then a tape measure flew over automatically and began to measure Kyle's height, while the owner himself returned to the back of the counter and sorted out the things on it, completely losing his previous enthusiasm.

But Kyle didn't care.

A few minutes later, the measuring tape snapped shut and he walked up to the counter, reaching into his pocket to pay.

Maybe it was because there were too many things in his pockets, but when Kyle took out the money, he accidentally took out a few small items.

A few short silvery-white hairs and an irregular ruby.

"That's a lot of stuff," Kyle said, quickly putting it back in his pocket and asking, "How much?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and after a moment's hesitation he said, "One Galleon."

"So cheap?" Kanna blurted out, thinking she had heard wrongly. It was not like she had never bought something before. One Galleon, let alone Madam Malkin's robe shop, even in the second-hand shops in Diagon Alley, she couldn't find such a cheap school uniform robe...not to mention that this was a thick robe for winter.

Kyle smiled and took out a Galleon and placed it on the counter. "How long will it take?"

"It will be done soon, just half an hour."

…

"What good luck, isn't it?" After the two left the store, Kanna said happily, "It happened to be the thousandth piece."

"Maybe it's not just right." Kyle said meaningfully.

"Remember that dress robe we were talking about?"

"The one that cost three hundred Galleons?"

"Yes." Kyle said, "If I'm not mistaken, the color of the unicorn's tail hair on that dress is wrong. It's probably that the mane was spliced ​​together with magic to disguise the tail hair. And the fire crab gem was also re-carved from broken gems...

"I dare say that all those materials combined are worth no more than twenty Galleons. They are not as good as she said."

"Mane and broken gems?" Kanna asked curiously, "How did you tell that?"

"You've seen it so many times, so you'll know it naturally." Kyle shrugged and took out the short hair and gem from his pocket.

"Isn't this what you just said..."

"That's right." Kyle nodded. "The raw materials of the dress robe, the mane and the broken gemstones, the owner obviously recognized them just now."

Strictly speaking, Kyle felt that he and this boss were half in the same profession.

He had made something similar before, the most expensive custom map, which was also decorated with unicorn hair and fire crab gems.

They're all the same thing, how could he not see the difference?

However, this shop owner is much more evil than him.

Kyle added in his mind...at least he didn't sell the map for 200 Galleons.

After leaving the store, it was almost ten o'clock, but Kyle did not rush to the Hog's Head Bar. Instead, he found a seat by the window at the Three Broomsticks and drank a glass of pumpkin soda leisurely.

Looking out of the window, there were gradually more and more students outside, but their routes were surprisingly consistent. It was obvious that they were heading to the Hog's Head Bar.

The path that was once deserted is now full of people.

"There look to be more than thirty people here." Kyle muttered softly.

Kanna also glanced out the window, "Aren't we going over there yet?"

"If you're curious, you can go over and take a look," Kyle said.

"Aren't you going?" Kanna asked.

"Yeah." Kyle nodded, "With so many people participating, someone will definitely leak it out, and Umbridge will know it sooner or later.

"And my current identity should be the opposite of Professor Dumbledore and I shouldn't be there."

"Can't we ask them to sign a confidentiality agreement?" Connor thought for a moment, "Sign it before we start, and promise not to tell Umbridge about this."

"It's not very useful." Kyle said, "Even if you don't take the initiative to tell the secret, friends will always chat... You never know who will accidentally let it slip, so there's no way to hide it."

"Is that so?" Kanna said, "Can we use a stricter contract? For example, we cannot discuss this matter in any form..."

"Yes, but not now." Kyle took a sip of pumpkin soda, "Most people are very resistant to contracts. No one wants to sign a strict contract without knowing anything.

"So, even if you want to keep it secret, you can only wait until this matter is finally decided."

"That's true." Kanna turned her head and looked out the window again, "Then I won't go either."
