Chapter 628: Preferential treatment among peers
After about twenty minutes, the shopkeeper and Daphne finally came out.
"Just change it as I said, and send it to Hogwarts tomorrow, no problem." Daphne, who was at the front, said.
"No problem." The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'll be sure to deliver the dress to Hogwarts on time." ”
"That's good." Daphne nodded, and turned to walk towards the door, accompanied by the shopkeeper, "We're back, Astoria." ”
As they pass by Kyle and Connor, Astoria politely greets them, but Daphne just snorts and says nothing.
Kyle shook his head helplessly, this wasn't the first time this had happened.
Since the start of the school year this year, some Slytherins' attitudes towards him have changed drastically.
Malfoy, for example.
Although the relationship between Kyle and him was not very good before, it was not bad, and with the addition of the other party's money ability, there were quite a lot of intersections.
But this year is different, the two have not spoken a word for so long since the school started, and they have not even met a few times.
Kyle felt as if he was deliberately avoiding himself, and Lucius Malfoy had specifically instructed him before school started.
In addition, Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Millison, and Maldom, who have contributed to him in the past, have also uncharacteristically drawn a line with him.
Under their influence, the other Slytherins gradually became much more cold to him, and Daphne was one of them.
As friends of Pansy and Millison, this is also a matter of course.
In the face of her attitude, Kyle, who originally wanted to say something, didn't bother and quietly watched them walk out of the clothing store.
After seeing them off, the shopkeeper came up to them and asked, "What do you want to buy?" ”
"I want to make a new school uniform for the winter." Kyle said.
Like Madame Morkin's robes shop in Diagon Alley, there is also a business of making Hogwarts uniforms for a similar price.
"Is it just a school uniform?" The shopkeeper asked, "Would you like a cloak, a dragon skin cloak, to keep warm when you put it on?" ”
"No need." Kyle glanced at the most expensive cloak on the shelf, three hundred Galleons.
Although this price is not particularly expensive according to the dragon skin cloak, it is a complete dragon skin cloak.
And the one in front of me is a cloak made of magic, the upper part is a little blue, it should be a Swedish short-nosed dragon, and the lower part is the grayish-white characteristic of the Ukrainian iron belly.
It's just that the person who made the cloak handled it very well, and covered it up with a unique pattern, which is difficult for ordinary people to see.
"What about Durmstrong's cloak." The shopkeeper did not give up and continued: "Only twenty Galleons. ”
Kyle shook his head again, "Just make a school uniform." ”
Hearing Kyle say this, the shopkeeper slowly put away his smile.
Hogwarts uniforms are clearly priced things, and unless they are in large quantities, they don't make money at all.
"Okay." Said the shopkeeper.
Then a tape measure flew over and began to measure Kyle's height, while the shopkeeper himself returned to the back of the counter and sorted out the items on it, completely losing his enthusiasm.
Kyle doesn't care about that, though.
After a few minutes, the tape measure snapped shut, and he walked to the counter, put his hand in his pocket, and prepared to pay.
I don't know if it's because there are too many things in his pocket, but Kyle inadvertently took out a few small pieces of small items when he was taking out the money.
A few silvery-white short hairs, and an irregular ruby.
"There's so much stuff." Kyle said, quickly putting them back in his pocket and asking, "How much." ”
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "One Galleon." ”
"So cheap?" Connor blurted out, thinking she had misheard,
It's not like she hasn't bought anything,
One Galleon, not to mention Madame Morkin's robe shop, you can't even find such cheap school uniform robes in the second-hand stores in Diagon Alley...... Not to mention that this is still a thick robe for winter.
"Yes, OneGalleon." Said the shopkeeper. "This is the thousandth school uniform robe sold in our store, and it is a special discount. ”
Kyle smiled and pulled out a Galleon and placed it on the counter, "How long will it take." ”
"Soon, half an hour will do."
……
"That's good luck, isn't it?" After the two of them left the shop, Connor said happily, "It's exactly the thousandth piece." ”
"Maybe it's not just right." Kyle said pointedly.
"Remember the gown we just discussed?"
"The one for three hundred Galleons?"
"Yes." Kyle said, "If I'm not mistaken, the unicorn tail hair on that dress is not the right color, and it's likely that the mane was magically spliced together, and the camouflaged tail hair, along with the Fire Crab Gem, was also re-carved from the broken gem......
"I dare say that the materials add up to twenty Galleons at most, which is not as good as she said it would be."
"Manes and Broken Stones?" Connor wondered, "How do you see that?" ”
"I've seen a lot, so naturally I know." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and took out the shorthair and gems from his pocket.
"Isn't that what you ......just said?"
"That's right." Kyle nodded, "The raw materials of the gown robe, the mane and the broken gems, apparently the shopkeeper recognized it just now. ”
Strictly speaking, Kyle thinks he's half a league with this boss.
He'd gotten something similar before, the most expensive custom map, also decorated with unicorn fur and fire crab gems.
It's all the same thing, how could he not see it.
However, this shopkeeper is much darker than him.
Kyle added in his mind...... At least he didn't sell the map for two hundred Galleons.
After leaving the store, it happened to be almost ten o'clock, but Kyle didn't rush to the pig's head bar, but found a window seat on the three broomsticks, and drank a pumpkin soda unhurriedly.
Looking out of the window, the number of students outside slowly began to increase, but their routes were surprisingly consistent, and at first glance, they knew that they were going to the pig's head bar.
The path that no one cared about is now full of people.
"That's more than thirty people." Kyle muttered quietly.
Connor also glanced out the window, "Aren't we going over yet?" ”
"If you're curious, you can go over and have a look." Kyle said.
"Aren't you going?" Connor asked.
"Hmm." Kyle nodded, "With so many people attending, someone will definitely reveal it, and Umbridge will know sooner or later."
"And my current identity is supposed to be Professor Dumbledore's opposite, and I shouldn't be there."
"Isn't it okay to get them to sign a confidentiality contract?" Connor thought for a moment, "Sign before you start, promise not to tell Umbridge about it." ”
"It's not very useful." Kyle said, "Even if it's not an informant, friends always have to talk to each other...... Maybe someone inadvertently leaked their mouths, so they can't hide it at all. ”
"That's right." Connor said, "Is it okay to use a stricter contract?" For example, you can't discuss this in any way......"
"Yes, but not right now." Kyle took a sip of pumpkin soda, "Most people are very resistant to contracts in their hearts, and no one wants to sign a strict contract without knowing anything.
"So, even if you want to keep it a secret, you can only wait until this matter is really decided."
"That's right." Connor turned her head to look out the window again, "Then I'm not going either." ”
