"The perfect vitality tonic, at least I can't fault anything."

In the underground classroom of Hogwarts, when Professor March said this, it also meant that the seventh year students had completed all. Examination.

With a crisp ringing bell, Kyle and the others leave the classroom and make their way down the stairs back to the foyer.

The exams are over, everyone's performance is different, and some people are happy and looking forward to the upcoming graduation life.

But more people are reluctant, always looking forward to the holiday, they hope that the holiday can be slower for the first time, and then slower.

After seven years of viewing, the castle suddenly became fresh again, and every corridor, every painting, and even the faded handrails on both sides of the staircase seemed to become particularly attractive.

They seem to be back to when they first came to Hogwarts seven years ago, full of curiosity and interest in everything here.

Kyle bends down to return the salute as well.

Coupled with the fact that Voldemort and his Death Eaters are becoming more and more rampant, the price of potions in the wizarding world is now soaring, and even the price of materials is much more expensive.

"Yes." Harry said, "I only remembered a while ago that Kyle had been in there for a while, and I suspect he had found a clue about the Horcrux from a book. ”

But what they didn't expect was that the balloon Peeves used this time was a high-end product, and it was also a prank balloon carefully developed by the Weasley brothers, and it exploded the moment it came into contact with the spell.

……

"Let Fleur send Connor, Paris is very big, and someone familiar with it needs to lead the way."

Connor blinked, as if she hadn't heard.

"Is there a difference?" Fleur looked even more dissatisfied.

"I'm looking for other Horcruxes." Harry lowered his voice and said, "We know from Slughorn's memories that Voldemort must have divided his soul into seven parts, and apart from himself, there are six Horcruxes.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't get excited." Kyle laughs and says, "Actually, I don't have anything in my coffers. ”

It's just that the professors were too fast, and before Peeves could get their hands on it, those cannon fodder Death Eaters were wiped out.

At this point, Connor was silent.

He'd never seen a Peeves like this...... So, polite?

As a result, it rained vinegar in the entire hallway, and the students were caught off guard and were drenched from head to toe.

"Wait a minute, you two." Connor interrupted the two of them, "Kyle, you haven't said why you bought potions materials from Gringotts, I know you have Galleons, but it's not such a waste, you'd better get them back quickly." ”

"Please don't use the word 'only'." Bill quipped, "Our family's vault only has a bunch of sicos." ”

It was a special dung egg, and he was not reprimanded, and Peeves only felt like he was in a dream.

In short, they planned their vacation arrangements in this way.

"No, it's not." Harry shook his head, "Remember?" Sirius' house has a private library. ”

"The report card will be delivered to you by an owl in mid-July."

But that's not all, Peeves suddenly laughs and flies down from the stairs, throwing more water balloons at those seventh graders in the foyer.

Only Fleur seemed very angry, "greedy, shameless......"

"Morning, morning......" Kyle's eyes wandered, "it will take time for the owl to deliver the message." ”

Peeves was talking about the Death Eaters attacking the castle a month ago.

Then, no one noticed that a carriage had left behind and had quietly left the group and came to an open field in front of the Quidditch pitch.

"Not sure, but give it a try." Harry said, "This is the only clue we've been able to find the Horcruxes, and if Kyle really saw it from there, the three of us will surely find it too." ”

"Okay!" Hermione didn't hesitate to agree. Maybe she just wanted to read a book.

This year, Peeves opted for vinegar balloons mixed with a small amount of water.

"What the hell did Kyle do?" Ron asked again.

But many more have remained silent, and if they could, they would love to stay in school until the end of the holidays.

This feeling is difficult for students in other grades to understand.

"It's going to start again, crying and crying, I really don't understand what this dilapidated castle is worth remembering." Nick, who was almost headless, glanced at the fat monk next to him and asked, "By the way, when will he arrive, it should be soon." ”

"As long as you can convince Dumbledore, I'll be fine."

"How much did you trade?" Connor asked.

Peeves tosses the last few balloons and then turns back again.

Fleur Delacour walked up to Kyle and looked at him with a very disgruntled look.

"It's okay." Fleur waved her hand and said, "It just so happens that I have something to go back to France to help Madam Maxim contact some of her friends, and I can't help much while I'm here." ”

Several ghosts gathered together and looked at the students who were crying and laughing, with expressions that they had predicted to be like this.

As he spoke, another person approached.

In addition to teasing new students, he also likes to make a deep impression on students who are about to graduate.

"It doesn't matter, the French side doesn't have much of an impact." Kyle said.

"Are you sure?" Hermione was skeptical.

Apparently he also knew that Dumbledore would not have agreed to such a request.

"Actually, the goblin made a request before agreeing to sell me the potion materials at the normal price."

"Don't worry, it didn't cost much." Kyle said with a smile.

As an authentic Frenchman, Fleur is naturally the first choice, and more importantly, because during the Triwizard Tournament, she and Connor also got along very well.

Seriously, if they hadn't been running fast at the time, they might have turned into a three-headed dog's midnight snack.

"I can't go back." Kyle spread his hands. "I've already bought something, do you think the goblins will return the Gareons they got their hands on?"

"Oh, that's a good idea." Hermione said, "So what's your idea?" Or how do we find it?

"You should know, there are no clues about Horcruxes in the library."

"Of course not." Bill said, "Those greedy goblins want to take away all the Galleons that wizards have." ”

"You ......" Connor was so angry that Connor's face turned red for Kyle's ruined behavior.

I don't know if it's because of the Death Eaters, or if Dumbledore left school again, and this year's holiday started a little earlier than before.

"Five thousand Galleons, and the concession is also five Thousand Galleons...... It was the best deal I've ever made, and even when I didn't have Death Eaters, it was hard to get fifteen Galleons of dragon's blood and mandrake. ”

Thinking of the devastation Peeves had done to them over the years, several Gryffindors confidently raised their wands, ready to make Peeves suffer a little before they graduated.

"Oh, I'm here with Miss Maxime, she's coming to your Headmaster Dumbledore."

When the first water balloon was thrown, he protected himself and Connor next to him with a waterproof and moisture-proof charm. So when the balloon exploded just now, the unknown liquid mixed with vinegar didn't fall on him at all.

Can ...... now Looking at the crooked appearance of the two in front of him, Kyle was really embarrassed to break them up.

"What?"

"Oh...... Your refusal is truly callous. Peeves grimaced at Kyle.

"Count the time, it's almost." The fat friar said, "Oh...... He's coming. ”

"So what to do?" Peeves sat down cross-legged in mid-air with some confusion, "I haven't had enough of the you gave me last time, really, why did you catch all the intruders so quickly." ”

As is customary, it was expected that they would leave the school on the seventh day after the exams, but on the third day, the Hogwarts Express stopped on the Hogsmeade platform.

"I testify." At this point, Bill spoke up, and he couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment.

"Other libraries ......," Ron frowned, "Is it the Blotted Bookstore?" No kidding, I don't want to spend the whole holiday in Diagon Alley. ”

"Oh?" Kyle raised an eyebrow and said teasingly, "No wonder you chose to stay in the UK." ”

There was a sparse cheer from the crowd, as if they were happy to get their report card this way, rather than taking it home with them.

"Kyle, I've got in touch with Gringotts." Bill came running from not far away, "I'm lucky to have a goblin there who used to work with me, and he agreed to exchange the gold you provided for potions materials at a good price. ”

Harry also ran into him every time he went on a night trip, and Hermione had been thrown an inkwell several times by him while he was doing his homework.

"The main thing is that I didn't know that the school would have an early holiday." Kyle shrugged his shoulders and hurriedly changed the subject, "Why did you come to Hogwarts though?" ”

"It's the goblin who is willing to sell us potion materials at the normal price, but at the cost of every five hundred Galleons above, he has to go to Kyle's vault and pick up something to take it."

"That's right." Kyle nodded, "Anything to instruct?" Mr. Peeves. ”

"Don't worry, there may be a chance." Kyle laughs, "Remember to put away the rest of the stock and don't throw it away, or you won't have it when you really need it." ”

If Kyle could still repeat a grade, then Hogwarts would really be a joke.

"Of course, I know." Harry said mysteriously, "But just because this library doesn't have it doesn't mean that other libraries don't either." ”

"I want to take advantage of this vacation to find the remaining three Horcruxes."

"Seriously Kyle, you should have contacted me earlier."

"Obviously, that's right." "I don't know where he got the news that I think there's something good in my collection, but unfortunately, not everyone likes to keep their valuables in the Gringotts vaults." ”

"Uh-huh, yes, that's it." Bill nodded his head repeatedly, as if he was afraid that Kyle would change his mind.

"Everybody line up." Professors McGonagall and Flitwick stood at the gate of the castle and instructed the students to ride the carriage to the station in an orderly manner.

"Ho-ho, I believe you." Peeves said, standing up straight, bending slightly in the incredulous gazes of those around him, and saluting Kyle with a grace he had never seen before.

Although he didn't care about the professor's reprimand, the feeling was different, it had never been before, and it made him very excited and novel, and at the same time a little.

This time, he wanted to find someone to send Connor to France, the journey was far away, and he was unfamiliar with the place, and he was not very relieved if Connor was alone.

"But you only told me about such a big thing yesterday afternoon."

You don't have to think about it to know that the conditions put forward by the insatiable goblin are definitely the kind that the lion opens his mouth, and its hidden value will definitely not be less than the overflowing Gareon, and may even be more.

As a result, Kyle, who gave him the idea now, is actually graduating.

"That's right, that's what you think." Fleur didn't refute either, and generously admitted it.

As soon as he finished speaking, a balloon filled with water flew down the stairs and landed precisely in the middle of a group of seventh-graders.

"Ah, little Kyle......"

As we all know, alchemists nowadays are very rich.

"Ho-ho-ho...... Stupid little devil head...... Fool Imp Head...... Come and see, someone has fallen into the vinegar bucket here! ”

"Forget it, leave that alone." Hermione sniffed the strong sour smell coming from below, and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve to drag the two of them somewhere else.

"The basement one, you say?" Hermione immediately thought of something.

Kyle smiled even more, "By the way, Bill, you remember to remind that goblin that you can't take more than one of the ten things." ”

But Connor obviously didn't believe it, the other party was a money-hungry goblin, not a philanthropist, how could he not have spent much money.

What made him even more excited was that the professors saw his behavior, but did not reprimand him.

Every year at this time, he will take advantage of this time to wreak havoc, the year before was fireworks, and last year it was dung...... It is worth mentioning that it was the Weasley brothers who supplied him with the supply, and used up all the inventory, and it has to be said that it was a real disaster, at least for Filch.

More and more people heard the movement and walked over, and in shame, a group of seventh-graders immediately covered their faces and ran away.

"How about repeating a grade for a year, just one year." Peeves said with a grin. "After the Weasley poltergeists graduate, you're the only one who is more interesting, and the rest of the little devils are too boring to be fun at all."

"So, the goblin miscalculated?" Fleur said with an eyebrow.

"What?" Fleur was stunned for a moment. In her opinion, a young wizard like Kyle, who has made a name for himself at a young age, must have a full treasury,

Not to mention, the prize money of the Triwizard Tournament alone is a thousand Galleons, and in addition, Kyle is also an alchemist himself, although not many people know this, but it is not a few. After all, he had invented a lot of interesting magic props when he was in school.

He fell in front of Kyle, "So you're graduating too, right?" ”

"Ahem," Bill cleared his throat before he forced a smile as he said, "He asked to pick up something from Kyle's vault." ”

He walked up to Kyle, and Fleur on the side naturally wrapped her arm around him, and the two behaved closely.

"That was before." Kyle said with a smile.

"Stop, Peeves!" Someone shouted, and then pulled out his wand and prepared to fight back.

Kyle and Connor stepped out of the carriage and looked left and right.

Peeves, who got the news at the time, immediately reacted that this was the opportunity Kyle had said, so he turned out the special dung egg and ran over in his arms.

It's like this every year, and they've long been out of the ordinary.

Listening to the meaning of Bill's words, they also agreed, are these people stupid?

When they were in the first grade, Peeves yelled at them, so they accidentally broke into the place where the Philosopher's Stone was guarded, and met the three-headed dog Luwe.

A faint sour smell began to spread through the foyer.

"Could it be earlier?" Harry muttered quietly, but couldn't think of any intersection between Kyle and Peeves.

"Wait." Connor suddenly frowned, looked at Kyle and asked, "Did you ask Gringotts to buy potion materials?" Didn't I say no? Professor Snape had prepared a lot, enough for me to use, and it wasn't a good idea to buy the materials right now. ”

He thought carefully about what had happened in the school recently, but found that none of them could be matched.

"Otherwise, I'd better find someone else." Kyle said thoughtfully.

"I don't know." Harry shook his head, "But as you can imagine, it's certainly not an easy thing to do. ”

The water balloon landed on a boy's head and exploded violently, pouring a large amount of vinegar-mixed water directly on his head.

But Ron's doubts were not answered, as Hermione and Harry were also confused. As the most persecuted students by Peeves, they knew better than anyone how annoying the ghost was.

If they were first-year students, they would definitely have no ability to resist when faced with Peeves' pranks, but they are now in the seventh grade, and if they can still be recruited, then haven't they been in vain in the past few years?

"In fact, my stuff is somewhere else." Kyle pursed his lips to keep himself from laughing, "The vault in Gringotts, it seems like I haven't used it since I was in second grade, and if I'm not mistaken, there should only be three or five Galleons in it, and some sicos." ”

Unfortunately, it seems that Dumbledore and the other professors have other things to do, and it is impossible to watch everyone here all the time.

There were already people waiting here in advance, and the other party's golden hair glistened in the sun.

"If you had told me a week ago that Connor was going to France, I would have had enough time to make everything the best it could be.

"Are you sure?" Connor gave him a suspicious look. "With the character of a goblin, will you let go of this good opportunity?"

There were only a handful of people in the crowd who weren't affected, and Kyle was one of them.

Gringotts has potion materials, or anything that makes money, they have it, it's just expensive, and they don't bargain yet.

We've found three of them now, the tiara, the gold cup, which Kyle found, and the diary from second grade, which is halfway done.

"Look, is that Peeves?" Up the stairs, Ron asked in some disbelief, not even realizing that his voice was a little broken.

"What requirements?" Connor frowned.

Peeves clutched his stomach and let out a shrill laugh.

"Harry, what did you say you were planning for the holidays?"

"What if it wasn't enough." Bill asked, "Listen to what you just said, you don't really have much in your coffers." ”

"Then it can't be helped." Kyle shrugged, "I can only let him suffer, knock a few rocks from the wall or the table and take it away, I can't make it up for him anyway, don't even think about a single Nat." ”
