Chapter 253: Buy, Buy, Buy

After some haggling, Kyle eventually bought the gill sac for fifteen Galleons.

Originally, Madame Prill insisted on seventeen Galleons.

But after Kyle easily used the bubble head charm, she immediately dropped another two Galleons, and said that she could give away a bag of white fresh and rue seeds.

Kyle also saw that this was her last bottom line, so he accepted it and completed the deal very happily.

Mrs. Prill put the gill sac grass into a transparent box and sighed, "I just see that you like magic plants, if you change to someone else, there will not be such a big discount."

…… With those seeds, I've lost ten Galleons. ”

Kyle smiled and didn't speak.

The shopkeepers in Diagon Alley are shrewd, and Mrs. Prill doesn't let herself lose much...... At least the price she paid for gill sac grass was certainly not twenty Galleons.

Of course, this kind of thing is tacit, just know it in your heart, and he did make a small profit this time.

Nowhere else, fifteen gallons can't buy gill sac grass.

After leaving Mrs. Prior's magical botanical garden, Kyle carefully placed the small box into his shape-shifting lizard skin pouch.

His chest was still with Dumbledore, and he had to use this to make it all together now.

"Hi Kyle!"

Hearing someone call him, Kyle looked up and saw Harry, Hermione, and Ron standing in front of the nearby Literati store.

Each of them also had a large piece of strawberry and peanut ice cream in their hands.

"Magical Botanical Garden?" Harry was a little surprised, "I thought you were reading somewhere, like Percy." ”

"I've been reading books for over a month, and I have to do something else." Kyle said.

"I heard from Ron that you spent a month in Mr. Nicolamay's private library." Hermione said enviously, "Six hundred years of books...... It must be great there. ”

"I didn't want to show off......," Kyle laughs, "but the one-month experience really benefited me a lot." ”

"That's nice......," Hermione envied, "I'd like to see it too, even if it's just for a look......"

"There's going to be a chance." Kyle said.

"Hermione, isn't the school library enough to read?" Ron pursed his lips and muttered, "There are hundreds of bookshelves there, and I dare say even Headmaster Dumbledore can't finish reading them." ”

Hermione glared at him angrily.

Although he is right, a private library and a library are two different things...... And the more books you can read, the better.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Harry quickly changed the subject and said, "Kyle, we are about to go buy parchment and ink, do you want to go together?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to buy these too."

Then the four of them walked into the literati house store together.

As soon as he entered, Kyle headed for the parchment and ink counter, pointed to the bottom two shelves, and asked, "These should be enough for you." ”

"Enough is enough." Harry nodded repeatedly, "It's mainly Hermione's need, and Ron and I just need to buy a little bit." ”

"That's ......"

Kyle looked at the clerk and waved his hand, "Except for these two...... Wrap up the rest! ”

"Click...... Harry's ice cream fell to the ground.

He stared at Kyle dumbfounded, and for a moment he suspected that he had misheard.

"Kyle, you just said ...... Want to buy all the parchment and ink here? ”

"yes, what's the problem?" Kyle asked, "Oh, if you don't have enough, I can buy less." ”

"Smack!"

Ron's ice cream also dropped.

"There are at least 3,000 parchments here...... Bought them all? ”

In his opinion, even if he eats parchment and drinks ink, he won't need so much in an academic year.

But Kyle just spread his hands.

3,000 pieces of parchment, even if you save a little money, you can only copy a hundred books...... He's not enough.

Compared to Harry and Ron, the clerk next to him was much more mentally qualified, and after a brief moment of surprise, he quickly helped Kyle remove all the parchment.

"That's right." Kyle suddenly said, "What about the gilded parchment you have here, bring me twenty sheets too." ”

"No, no problem!"

The clerk hurriedly ran to the delicate shelf behind the counter and carefully opened a transparent door......

While the clerk was taking something, Hermione came over and whispered:

"Kyle, you probably bought all this parchment to make a map?"

She hesitated for a moment and continued, "If that's the case, I don't think you need to buy so much...... In fact, I found out before the holidays that someone was making that kind of map, and you probably won't be able to sell many of them this year. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, but you don't have to worry about that." Kyle waved his hand, "Our products are not static, and this year's map is definitely a brand new version that you haven't seen before."

And I didn't buy them all to make maps, but for other purposes. ”

Hermione was curious, but she didn't say anything more.

She thought for a moment, took a few more Galleons out of her purse, and bought all the rest of the parchment.

Harry looked at the empty shelves, "Hermione, what are we going to do!" ”

Hermione said without looking up, "There must be another parchment here." ”

"Yes."

The clerk wrapped the gold-rimmed parchment and tapped the counter with his wand.

New parchment and ink immediately appeared on the shelves, but in much smaller quantities than before.

……

Because of Kyle's big customer, Harry, Hermione, and Ron also got a good discount.

After coming out of the store, Hermione glanced at Kyle and asked, "That box you just took out has a Traceless Stretching Charm." ”

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Kyle nodded, "A normal box wouldn't hold more than three thousand pieces of parchment. ”

"So, you're ...... Halloween," Hermione realized something and quickly shut her mouth when she realized something in the middle of her words.

"What happened to Halloween?" Harry looked back.

"Nothing." Hermione mumbled, "It occurred to me that Kyle had magically decorated a pumpkin on Halloween, and I wanted to ask him what kind of spell he used." ”

"Oh......" Harry replied casually, not paying attention.

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, and when Harry and Ron were discussing where to go next, she lowered her voice and asked, "The box you used to hold trolls on Halloween also used the Traceless Stretching Charm." ”

"You guessed it......"

Kyle didn't deny it, "It's just another one." ”
