It only took Kyle a little over an hour to make the twenty-odd maps, and on the morning of the first day of school, he handed them over to the young wizards who had paid the deposit.

Another generous Galleon payout, and it doesn't get any happier than that.

At dinner in the morning, several people sat around the Gryffindor table and began to divide the spoils...... Ahem, distribute the fruits of labor.

The wallet bulged a lot again all at once, and everyone was happy.

As for why at the Gryffindor table...... Nothing special, just because this place is closest to the auditorium gate.

"By the way, Kyle, this is for you."

Fred and George counted out seven Galleons, put them in a cloth bag and handed them to Kyle.

"Willing to gamble and lose ......"

George said with some distress, "I swear, if I bet with you again, we'll be swallowtails!" ”

"And so do I." Fred nodded approvingly beside him.

"Hah, I almost forgot about that."

Kyle took the bag and poured all the gold coins on the table with a distrustful attitude, counting them carefully.

Last year, Fred and George played a small game to guess when Professor Quirrell would leave the school.

At their kind invitation, Kyle couldn't resist it, so he played a small game.

Needless to say, the results are ......

Twenty Galleons doubled directly, not only making a small pocket money, but also emptying Fred and George's wallets by the way.

Because they didn't want to use the funds they had prepared for the opening of the store, the two relied on Kyle's good relationship and delayed paying off the forty Galleons until now.

"Yes, exactly forty Galleons."

In the eyes of Fred and George who wanted to hit someone, Kyle calmly put away the cloth bag.

"You can't play this year...... Professor Lockhart is a well-known wizard in the wizarding world, and if it has anything to do with him, I believe many people will be involved. ”

"Ho......" George sneered.

"Unless you don't participate." Fred said.

"Alright then, I'll just not participate." Kyle said calmly.

Then he turned to look at Connor on the side, "You are going to prepare forty Galleons, count me in, and if you win, we will split it in half." ”

"Good!" Connor nodded without hesitation.

"Enough of you two!"

Looking at the two loudly conspiring fellows, Fred took a bite of the slice of bread as if it were Kyle's head.

As I said, if they play this game with Kyle again in the future, it's a swallowtail...... It's still the ugliest kind!

"Wait a minute." At this time, Cedric suddenly said, "I remember, you have something else to do, right."

You said what would Kyle do if he was awarded the Order of Merlin in his second year? ”

"Oh, I know."

Qiu Qiang held back a smile and cooperated: "With three trophies on your head, you will fly around the castle with a tap dance." ”

"And Butterbeer." Connor looked at Kyle with a smile, "That's great, you don't have to spend money on butterbeer in the future." ”

Fred and George's faces were even more ugly.

With three trophies on his head, tap dance...... Merlin is on top, how the hell did they come up with such a difficult maneuver at that time?

And all the butterbeer that contracted Kyle after that...... How much does it cost!

For a while, the two of them only felt a chill in their hearts.

Fred also slapped himself......

"Smack!"

"Why can't I control my mouth!"

There was a crisp sound, which immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.

Even in Gryffindor, which is known for its courage, there are only a handful of people who dare to whip themselves so hard......

They're all curious.

Fortunately, at this time, the postman arrived.

Hundreds of owls flew in in a crowd and circled the auditorium, dropping letters and packages into the crowd that was talking.

Kyle reaches out and catches a copy of the Daily Prophet.

But before he could look at it, he was attracted by the movement next to him.

An owl knocks over a milk jug...... Milk and feathers were splashed everywhere.

That's not the point, though.

The point is that it still has a wet red envelope in its mouth.

"Oh, no......," exclaimed Ron, who was not far away.

Many people found the red envelope and looked at it.

"Well, it's supposed to be a shouting letter, right?" Connor asked quietly.

"That's right." Kyle nodded.

"You'd better open it, Ron." Neville, who was sitting next to Kyle, whispered, "It's worse if you don't open it, Grandma sent me one, I ignored it, and it turned out to be ......"

He took a breath, "That's horrible. ”

"What will happen?" Cedric asked, somewhat curious.

He'd never seen a howl letter before, he just knew there was such a thing.

"It's going to explode." Kyle spread his hands and said, "And, do you know what 360-degree stereo surround sound is?"

In all directions, where there are fragments of envelopes, there are sounds, even across the Black Lake. ”

Ron's face turned white, and the corners of the envelope began to smoke as they spoke.

"Open it up," Neville urged, "only a few minutes ......"

Ron stretched out his trembling hand and carefully tore open the envelope.

"Run!"

I don't know who shouted, and the little wizards who were watching dispersed in an instant.

Those who couldn't run, such as Neville and Cedric, also covered their ears.

Harry and Hermione didn't understand what was going on, but they did the same, and put their hands on their ears.

And they knew right away why they were doing it......

It was like an explosion, and a loud sound filled the entire auditorium, shaking the dust off the ceiling.

“…… I wouldn't be surprised if they fired you if they stole the car, and you probably didn't think about how your dad and I felt when we found out that the car was gone......"

Mrs. Weasley's voice was a hundred times louder than usual, and the dishes on the table rattled.

Now, it wasn't just Gryffindor, everyone in the auditorium turned their heads, looking for the source of the sound.

Ron had hidden himself under the table, revealing only a flushed forehead.

But it didn't work, the roaring continued......

“…… I didn't expect you to do such a thing, you and Harry almost lost their lives!

…… It's so infuriating, your dad will be censored in the unit, it's all your fault, if you don't follow the rules again, we'll bring you back immediately! ”

The roaring stopped, but the sound was still buzzing, and the red envelopes that had fallen to the ground burned, curled and turned to ashes.

Kyle also heard that Mrs. Weasley's anger was not that Ron had stolen the car, but that he and Harry had almost been beaten to death by the beater.

If it weren't for this, Mrs. Weasley probably wouldn't be angry enough to send a yelling letter.
