More than a hundred of them were carved one by one by six people. They are purely handmade and not adulterated at all.
The remaining 200 were assembly line products, where the patterns were first engraved and then transferred to the branches of the mountain pear trees using a copy spell. It could be said that this was done rather perfunctorily, but it still looked quite authentic.
After this week, several people have become very proficient in using the copy spell.
It is worth mentioning that this spell was originally not to be learned until the sixth grade.
"The rest is up to you guys."
At the dinner before school started, Kyle looked at the other five people with a serious face and said, "You all know the process. Just do it again the same way you sold the map before."
Fred and the others also nodded seriously.
Having said that, this is not a small business like selling maps, but a big business for the entire school, so they are somewhat nervous.
"Kyle, do Hufflepuffs have to charge money too?" The good old Cedric was a little hesitant.
"This is not a necessity, Cedric." Kyle patted his shoulder and said, "But we can give Hufflepuff a good discount."
"Fifty percent off?"
"No, 5% off!" Kyle thought for a moment and added, "But I can round off the amount and save one knut."
“…”
Cedric twitched his lips. He wanted to stick to his opinion, but there was no way. Kyle firmly controlled the pricing power, so it was useless for him to say anything.
After a few brief words, everyone dispersed and prepared for tomorrow's plan.
In order to achieve the best publicity effect, Fred and George wrote a large flyer overnight and posted it in the most conspicuous place in the Gryffindor common room.
[Are you still worried about the exam? Are you still worried that you won't perform well and won't get a good grade? Now, you don't have to worry! In order to let everyone have a wonderful summer vacation, we hereby recommend "Pass the exam talisman".
It was recorded in "Hogwarts: A History" and was once popular in Hogwarts for more than a hundred years. It was the best-selling product at the time. Even Headmaster Dumbledore wore it during the exam.
Interested buyers please contact second year Fred Weasley, George Weasley.
(Note: This product has symbolic meaning only. It cannot improve the wearer's intelligence, nor can it replace the exam. Please purchase it at your discretion.)]
The last sentence wasn't actually included in the original version of the flyer, but after Kyle found out about this, he asked them to add it.
If nothing else, the highlight is the "stability" and no returns.
Fred and George were a little worried at first, thinking that no one would be willing to buy their products after adding this sentence.
But after just half a day, this worry no longer existed.
When the first person found the graphic meaning of the wand and quill in "Hogwarts: A History" and told others, young wizards kept rushing into the two's dormitory with Sickles and Galleons, fearing that they would miss the "Pass Every Exam Charm" if they were a second late.
The dormitory door had been broken several times. In the end, Fred was too lazy to even use the repair spell and just took the door down with a wave of his hand.
The situation was similar on the Hufflepuff side, except that the badgers were occupying Cedric's dormitory.
Although Slytherin did not post any flyers, they naturally found Connor after they learned about this.
Among the six people, only Qiu, who is in charge of Ravenclaw, is a little more relaxed. After all, most of the top students are confident and they don't need this.
…
The sawdust and knives that were originally all over the floor were gone, replaced by a square table with piles of gold Galleons and silver Sickles on the table.
"Gudong~"
Fred swallowed, "Here's how much."
"The total is 709 Galleons, 15 Sickles, and 5 Knuts," Qiu blurted out. "I didn't expect so many people to buy custom-made ones, so it's a lot more than expected."
"More than 700 Galleons..." George's eyes were a little dull: "I am not dreaming."
Fred sighed beside him: "If that's the case, I hope I will never wake up from this dream."
Kyle picked up a gold Galleon from the table and said with a smile, "Then you have to think carefully. This dream will happen seven times in total."
"Then I'd better wake up quickly." Fred laughed.
But as he laughed, his face suddenly wrinkled.
Fred suddenly remembered that he was one grade higher than Kyle, which meant that by the time Kyle was in seventh grade, he would have graduated and would not have received the money for that year.

Fred felt so distressed when he thought about how hundreds of Galleons were just wasted. He looked at Kyle with resentment and said, "Why didn't you enroll last year?"
Kyle felt numb all over when he was staring at him, and he took two steps to the side in disgust.
"It's not up to me to decide when I go to school. You have to go to Dumbledore."
"Uh, this is determined by the admission book." Cedric reminded quietly beside him: "It has nothing to do with the principal."
But Fred and George obviously didn't listen. They were currently discussing how to delay graduation for a year.
When they left, each of them had a full hundred gold galleons in their pockets.
As for the remaining funds, everyone unanimously decided to have Kyle keep them as start-up funds for the next event.
Kyle agreed.
Originally, he wanted to use the money to invest in the Weasley brothers, but they were now busy looking for the complete password to the Marauder's Map and did not have any extra time to study those joke products.
Let’s talk about it next year.
…
In the following weeks, the professors suddenly discovered that a special kind of wooden decoration seemed to have become popular in Hogwarts, and almost everyone was wearing it.
It's not a magical item, just that kind of ordinary rowan wood, which comes in round and square shapes.
There is another type that is less in number, which is embellished with gold paint and has a layer of wax on the surface. The workmanship looks much more refined than others, but it is still not a magic item.
Actually, professors don’t really care about this kind of thing. It’s just a popular accessory that appears every year. As long as it’s not something dangerous, it’s fine.
But this time it was different, because they found that since this kind of decoration became popular, the little wizards were not as nervous as before during class, and their mentality was very good.
To be honest, the professors don’t know whether this is a good thing or not.
