Ron knew that Kyle was very popular at school, but he never thought that he would be ...... with the obnoxious Malfoy Friend?

This made Ron a little hard to accept.

Kyle guessed Ron's thoughts with just one look, but he didn't care.

The conflict between Malfoy and the three of them had nothing to do with him as a Hufflepuff, and besides, his mother Diana was a Slytherin graduate, so why should he hate each other.

Kyle glanced at Ron and said casually, "What's so strange about this, Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor used to be friends, and they're close friends, just like you and Potter."

Why, if Potter had been sorted into Slytherin, you wouldn't have spoken to him? ”

"Of course not!" Ron hurriedly said, "But these are two different things......

"That's just your opinion." Kyle was a little impatient and frowned, "Don't forget that I'm a Hufflepuff, and we have a good relationship with every house.

Oh yes, and one more thing...... Half of your new wand was kindly sponsored by Slytherin, and if you can't accept that, I can write to Mrs. Weasley and ask you for Charlie's old wand. ”

The corners of Ron's mouth twitched slightly, he felt that Kyle was wrong, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Because Hufflepuff does have a good relationship with every house, even Ravenclaw, who was poured zero points in the game, only reconciled with them after only half a month of cold war.

Not to mention the wand, the only thing new on him that couldn't be replaced anyway.

Kyle didn't look at Ron anymore, but walked towards the Hufflepuff common room with Connor and said to Hagrid by the way:

"Hagrid, let's go back first, see you later."

"Go ahead, this year's dinner will not disappoint you." Hagrid said with a smile, then turned to look at Harry, "I'm sorry, I've got to go, Professor McGonagall is still waiting to set up the last Christmas tree." ”

After the three of them left, Ron let out a long sigh of relief and laughed at himself, "Didn't I look stupid just now?" ”

Harry and Hermione looked at each other and shook their heads.

Ron's reaction was normal, and even they were surprised when they found out that Kyle and Malfoy were on good terms.

It's just that they didn't say it.

"Actually, Kyle helped us." Harry whispered, "I noticed that Snape had been standing not far away, and he must have been waiting for us to get into a clash with Malfoy so that we could take advantage of the opportunity to deduct points." ”

Ron quickly looked up, but except for a few students who were about to attend the banquet in the auditorium, there was no trace of Snape in sight.

"Trust me, it's true." Harry tried to explain, "I actually saw Snape just now, and he was standing around the corner not far behind us, don't believe you ask Hermione!" ”

"Yes, Harry was right." Hermione nodded perfunctorily.

It's the way from the underground classroom to the auditorium, and it's so normal to see Snape, what's so strange about that.

"Leave this alone." Hermione frowned and said, "Aren't you curious?" What the hell was that thing Kyle gave Malfoy, it was worth a hundred Galleons. ”

"Wait, what did you just say......" Ron was stunned for a moment and said incredulously, "A hundred Galleons?!" ”

He had been thinking about something else just now, and he hadn't even noticed what Kyle was saying.

"yes, a hundred Galleons." Harry also remembered this, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say, Malfoy's family is really rich. ”

Although Harry inherited a large sum of gold Galleons from the Potter family's coffers, he had never spent so much money at once.

By far his biggest expense was seven Galleons for a wand.

"Merlin's Beard ......"

Ron suddenly felt his legs go limp, and he almost sat on the floor, he kind of understood Kyle now.

A hundred Galleons...... He hadn't even seen ten Galleons together.

"I guess it's been a while before the party starts." Harry asked suddenly.

"Thirteen minutes, to be exact." Hermione frowned, "You don't think you're ......?"

"Aren't you curious...... What the hell is that thing? ”

Harry lowered his voice and said, "The Quidditch pitch isn't far from here, we should be in time for it now." ”

"So what are you waiting for......

Ron was the first to burst out of the castle gates, running towards the Quidditch pitch without looking back.

Harry and Hermione followed, speeding after him.

The trio soon arrived at the stadium, but in order not to be detected by Malfoy, they did not dare to go inside, but shrank near the entrance of the passageway, and looked inside.

Ten minutes later, they returned to the castle, just in time for the Christmas dinner.

The auditorium is spectacularly decorated, and the walls are covered with drapes of parasitic and holly.

Twelve Christmas trees are hung with different decorations, ice crystals, snowflakes, candles, golden bubbles, gift boxes with all kinds of knick-knacks...... And I don't know whose idea it was, but one of the trees was actually a ghost.

There are also many familiar faces of young wizards, such as Nicol, who almost lost his head, and Fat Friar......

They floated on the Christmas tree and enthusiastically took care of every little wizard who passed by.

Harry would have been drawn to the unusual décor if it had been a normal day, but now he just glanced at it and didn't pay any further attention.

Hermione and Ron were the same, and the three of them hurried over to Gryffindor's table.

As soon as he sat down, Harry couldn't wait to ask, "Did you notice, that fireworks-breathing snake must be ten feet long...... It used to be the size of a fist, how the hell did it do that? ”

"I don't know, Harry." Ron shook his head and said, "All I know is that Malfoy actually paid a hundred Galleons for a toy......"

"I've told you so many times that it's not a toy!"

Hermione glared at him angrily.

"It's a magic item that combines an expansion charm, a bluebell flame charm, and a high-end transfiguration!"

"Okay...... Magic toys. Ron muttered quietly.

No matter what Hermione said, it still couldn't change the fact that it was a cheering prop.

Isn't that a toy?

Buy a toy for a hundred Galleons, and the world must be crazy...... No, it should be said that Malfoy is crazy.

Hermione heard Ron's complaint, but didn't pay any attention to him, just scratched at her hair in frustration. She wondered why the Blue Bell Flame Charm could change color.

But it was impossible, she had never seen anything like it in a book.
