Even Kyle didn't expect that the things he gave Neville would be so popular.

Under the vigorous publicity of Neville, more and more people began to come to the door and wanted to buy the same anti-demon crystal......

It is worth mentioning that even the name was given by them.

Fred and George were confused, and at lunch the next day, they found Kyle at the Hufflepuff long table and surrounded him one by one.

"Kyle, didn't you say you wouldn't get involved in this incident?" Fred said, "Why do so many people come to us early this morning to buy things?" ”

"Also, what is the anti-demon crystal...... George looked at him suspiciously, "You can't be secretly doing something good behind our backs." ”

"It's an amethyst for Christmas decorations." Kyle was a little helpless, "I gave Neville a piece yesterday, and everyone knows about it today. ”

Not only Fred and George, but he also received a lot of orders early in the morning.

Kyle rubbed his forehead.

Yesterday Neville wanted to buy it, but he didn't have that much in stock, so he didn't take it, and just gave the crystal to Neville.

At that time, Neville did say that he wanted to help spread the word...... I don't know what he did, the effect is so good.

After listening to Kyle's explanation, Fred and George also roughly understood what had happened.

"Neville Longbottom ......"

"Why didn't he come to you sooner!"

The two of them felt sorry in their hearts, if they had been a few days earlier, they would have been counting Galleons.

The two of them hurriedly ate a few bites of lunch, and then they couldn't wait to go to Hogsmeade through the secret passages and buy a lot of large pieces of amethysts back.

Kyle split them into the spiky crystal pillars he remembered.

To make the product more distinctive, he also added a homemade pepper bomb under the crystal pillar.

If you smash the crystal at the critical moment, you will release a large amount of pepper-laden smoke and take the opportunity to escape.

How so...... It's very popular.

Fred and George went to Hogsmeade three times to replenish the stock, and the last time they simply bought out all the amethysts in Devis-Bans's shop, but there was still some demand in short supply.

Kyle has to admit that he miscalculated.

Everyone seems to be worried about the matter of the secret room, and they are also willing to spend ten Xike to make themselves feel more at ease.

So, even without the high-end market of Slytherin, they made a small profit.

The only bad thing is probably that for some time afterward, Hogwarts Castle could often smell a peppery smell.

Every day, there are young wizards who accidentally break the crystal, such as Neville......

He consumed the Galleons on his body at an average rate of one every two days, so fast that in the end, Fred and George were a little unhappy, and gave him various discounts and discounts in different ways. Not only did he return all the money he earned from Neville before, but he even got some of it.

Harry and Ron, who were in the same dorm as Neville, complained several times that everything they ate now smelled of pepper.

"I think you should buy one too, it's not those useless onions and salamander tails."

Hermione told them, "Crystals can observe multiple corridors at once, smoke can obscure vision, and pepper can affect smell.

Kyle thinks very holistically, no matter what that monster is, it's always useful. ”

"Maybe you're right......" Ron waved his hand, "but if you had a roommate like Neville, you wouldn't say that." ”

In this atmosphere, the time is fast approaching December.

Lockhart didn't know where he found out that the professor could run a club, and he approached Dumbledore and wanted to get involved.

So one morning, Kyle, Connor, and Cedric go to the auditorium for dinner as usual, but as they pass by the foyer, they suddenly notice a freshly nailed piece of parchment on the bulletin board.

"What's that......"

Cedric leaned over curiously, reading the text on it.

"The school is going to open a dueling club!" In front of a few people, a Gryffindor said excitedly: "The first meeting tonight, at eight o'clock in the evening, in the auditorium!" ”

"They should have done this a long time ago." Someone said, "I'd love to learn some dueling lessons, maybe one day it will come in handy." ”

"Hah...... You don't think the Slytherin monsters are going to duel us. Doubts came from behind him.

Kyle looks back and realizes that it is Ron, and although he says that, he can see that he is also interested.

"Hello, Kyle." Hermione greeted, "Will you go to this dueling club?" ”

"Yes." Kyle nodded, "I just had time tonight, and I'm quite interested in this club." ”

"We're participating, too."

She said to Harry and Ron, "It's always going to work." ”

"Of course I want to go, but I wish there was no pepper there." Ron whispered.

Harry nodded in agreement, they had been tossed so much these days that they hadn't eaten much than they had before.

By eight o'clock in the evening, the auditorium had completely changed.

The long dining table vanished, and along one wall stretched a gilded stage, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating in mid-air.

By the time Kyle and the others came in, it was already full of people...... Almost all the students of the school came, and everyone gathered in twos and threes, each with their own wands and their faces full of excitement.

"Who do you say is going to teach us?" Qiu asked curiously, "Could it be Professor Dumbledore?" ”

"Or maybe Professor Flitwick." "He was a famous dueling champion when he was younger, so it was a perfect fit to teach us. ”

"Maybe not." Fred looked at the golden stage and whispered, "This gorgeous decoration reminds me of a person." ”

A few minutes later, Lockhart walked onto the stage in a fuchsia robe, shining brightly, with Snape behind him.

"I knew ......," Fred groaned, "and the other professors didn't like the bells and whistles of the stage decorations, except for this peacock." ”

"And Snape...... It doesn't get any worse than that. George sighed, "Is it too late for us to go?" ”

Connor glanced back at the closed auditorium door, "Looks like it's too late." ”

On stage, Lockhart waved everyone quietly, "Come around, come closer." ”

"Well, in order for everyone to protect themselves in case of danger, Professor Dumbledore has promised me to open this little dueling club and teach you some lessons."

"And I would like to thank Professor Snape, who readily agreed to be my assistant, what a good man."

Snape's face was a little ugly.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's signature, how could he have come to such a stupid dueling club with Lockhart...... And also as an assistant!

But Lockhart didn't notice the change in Snape's face in the slightest, and he was still grinning:

"It's just a small demonstration, you don't have to worry, I'll pay attention to the strength...... When that's over, I'll return your Potions professor to you in perfect condition. ”

Snape's eyes grew colder, and he stared at Lockhart as if he saw Harry with his eyes closed.
