Chapter 140: Cedric, you profiteer

The other party didn't pay attention to Ron's little emotion, and still said to himself: "I remember you, Ronald Weasley, your mother helped me find the platform." ”

"Yes, but people usually call me Ron." Ron grunted.

"Okay, Ron. My name is Hermione Granger. ”

Hermione nodded casually, then looked at the other person.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Harry Potter." Harry said quickly.

Hermione was visibly surprised at the name, and again listed a few reference books, indicating that she knew about Harry.

It made Harry feel dizzy, as he didn't know any of these things, not even the books Hermione mentioned.

"Oh my God, you don't know. If it were me, I'd find a way to find all the books that mention me. ”

Hermione looked at Ron again and said, "By the way, you said that the boy named Kyle was the first in the grade?" ”

"Oh... Yes. Ron nodded.

"No wonder he was awarded the Order of the Order of the Merlin." Hermione sighed a little, "I hope it's not too bad, I've memorized all the textbooks, I hope it's enough." ”

Ron's face was even more ugly, he felt like he had met a second Percy, and he didn't like the tone of the other person's voice as well.

However, Hermione didn't look at him at all, and continued to say, "By the way, do you know which house Kyle is from?" Whether it's Gryffindor or not, I've asked around, and people say it's the best. But if he's that smart, he might be a Ravenclaw. ”

"Neither."

Ron seemed eager to see the other man deflated, and said with some schadenfreude, "Kyle is a Hufflepuff." ”

"Hufflepuff ......" Hermione was stunned and muttered, "But I've heard that Hufflepuffs are all ...... Well, students who are not very bright in their studies. ”

"No, that's wrong."

Ron liked the other party's expression very much, and said with a slight meaning, "Actually, in addition to Kyle, Cedric Diggory, the first place in the third year, is also a Hufflepuff. ”

Hermione looked a little angry, she felt that she had been deceived, how could she be a "fool" and "stupid" in those mouths to be able to get out of two first-year houses in a row.

If they're fools, then what are the others...... Brainless worms?

Harry next to him bowed his head in frustration.

When he and Ron were discussing the academy before, he was thinking of Hufflepuff as a guaranteed academy.

But now it seems, Hufflepuff doesn't seem to be that easy to get along with either.

Grade 1 ......

Harry would rather believe that Dudley could become as thin as he did than that he could be number one in his grade.

It's impossible.

Even Hermione didn't speak, and Ron asked with a stiff face, "So, do you have anything else, if not, we're going back to the box." ”

"I'd like to ask if any of you have seen a toad?" Hermione, who came back to her senses, said, "Neville lost a toad. ”

"Toad?"

Ron said impatiently, "We've told him, we haven't seen it. ”

The boy named Neville had been here and had been crying in their box, so Ron remembered it very well.

"Maybe you can ask that Kyle." Harry next to him suddenly said, "Maybe he can find that toad." ”

"That's right, I really shouldn't be here anymore."

Hermione gave them one last look and said, "But you'd better get dressed quickly, you know, we'll be there soon." ”

With that, she left.

"I wish I hadn't shared an academy with her."

After closing the box door, Ron pouted and said, "Gryffindor has one Percy enough." ”

Harry didn't speak, just nodded perfunctorily, because he had received so much information at once, and he hadn't fully recovered at this moment.

On the other side, Hermione, who had left the place, made her way to the box where Kyle was.

Through the glass on the door, she saw Kyle holding his wand and gesturing something on a piece of parchment.

Hermione's hand, which had just been raised, was immediately retracted.

The boy named Malfoy had just knocked on the door that affected Kyle, and she didn't want to repeat it.

The main thing is that I can't afford to lose those maps.

Not to mention two hundred Galleons, she didn't even have twenty Galleons.

After hesitating for a while, Hermione decided to look in the other carriage first.

But what Hermione didn't know was that as soon as she walked on her front foot, Kyle in the box lowered his wand.

"Malfoy's coat of arms is a nuisance."

Kyle rubbed his eyes and said a little speechlessly, "It's a snake and a dragon, why can't they just replace it with an "M"." ”

"Hey, Kyle, you should be a little more patient with our guests."

Fred smiled and said, "You can earn an extra Galleon just by changing the pattern, is there any easier job than this?" ”

"That's right."

Kyle pushes the half-finished parchment to Cedric, who will then be in charge of drawing the map in its entirety.

Since it is permanent, it is natural that the Copy Charm can no longer be used.

Kyle then pulls out the wallet Malfoy gave him.

"One hundred and fifty Galleons, shall we divide it now, or shall we divide it when he finishes paying the final payment."

The others looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"Listen, Kyle."

George said seriously, "These Galleons are what you passed...... Well, the wisdom of others has nothing to do with us, and there is no need to take it out and share it. ”

"What a great wisdom, I'm not a Ravenclaw." Kyle said unconcernedly, "Besides, this is also the money earned from selling maps, and it will definitely be divided equally." ”

"It's an accident, it's different." Cedric shook his head and said, "And everything that happened from the other party's slamming of the door to the aftermath was done by you alone, and we didn't help in any way." ”

Cedric's words seemed to be what the others wanted to say, and they were like they had agreed upon, and no one touched the bag.

In the end, it was at Kyle's insistence that they each took ten Galleons.

Only George was fifteen Galleons, and the extra five Galleons were considered to be the loss of his robe.

For this, George did not shirk at all, and gladly accepted it.

"That's right."

After Kyle retrieved his wallet, Cedric pointed to the broken maps on the table and said, "Do you need to use a repair charm to restore them to their original state?" ”

"Huh? What are you doing with all that effort? Kyle wondered.

Cedric blinked, and said as a matter of course, "You can't throw them away, it's a Galleon's parchment." ”

"Wait...... You don't want to restore them to their original condition and then sell them. ”

Kyle gradually frowned, looked at Cedric with disgust, and said, "A profiteer like you will be imprisoned in Azkaban sooner or later." ”
