Chapter 142: Throwing Galleons Into the Water
As soon as Kyle finished speaking, everyone in the box looked at Cedric with a very strange look.
Fred, who was sitting next to him, immediately distanced himself from him and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be such a person."
Although Fred's thoughts were exactly the same as Cedric's, it did not prevent him from adding insult to injury at this time.
You always have to find some fun during a long journey, so that it won't be too boring.
Of course, the premise is that this fun has to be with others.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Cedric was so scared by being looked at that he immediately explained: "I'm just telling the truth, you must all think so."
"Oh~~" Kyle dragged out a long tone and said: "Fred, George, do you think so too?"
"Of course not!" Fred spoke first.
George looked serious, "I'm a conscientious businessman, I can't do such a thing as selling inferior goods as good ones."
"Kanna, what about you?" Kyle asked again.
"Neither do I." Connor shook her head repeatedly, and even the hair ornaments on her head were thrown off.
"Qiu?"
"No..."
...
"Look, no one has it." Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "Only you, Cedric the profiteer."
Cedric's face flushed, and he looked at everyone in disbelief.
No, the fact is obviously not like this.
In an instant, Cedric felt betrayed and felt bad.
"Give up, profiteer, we will definitely not do such a thing."
Kyle handed the stack of maps to Fred and continued, "When the train arrives, you will dispose of them in front of everyone."
"Give it to me." Fred took the map solemnly, his expression was very serious, as if he had received the appointment letter from the Minister of Magic.
"By the way." Kyle reminded, "You must do it before Hagrid comes, so that those first-year students can also see it."
Fred responded subconsciously, but suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart.
Kyle looked serious just now, he didn't seem to be joking.
Merlin, he wouldn't really want to...
Fred felt a little dizzy, he licked his lips and asked subconsciously.
"Kyle, we were joking with Cedric, you see, his face is red."
Kyle shook his head and said, "No, I'm not joking, these things must be destroyed, not a single one can be left."
Seeing Kyle's serious look, Fred and others suddenly stopped laughing.
George murmured, "But... these are all Galleons."
"I know, but there's nothing I can do." Kyle spread his hands and said, "The words have been said, if you don't want to be troubled by someone, you have to do this."
"But it doesn't matter, I have a lot of unicorn neck hair here, and those gems are also knocked off by fire crabs when fighting, and they are also worthless. Counting the parchment itself, the cost is less than two Galleons. "
For some reason, hearing Kyle's tone, Fred and George really wanted to beat him up.
Less than two Galleons, that's all?
Is this what a human would say?
"Can't you think of other ways?"
Qiu was also a little distressed. She thought about it and said, "For example, use a Transfiguration spell to transform ordinary parchment..."
But before she finished speaking, she was rejected by Kyle.
"No, we must leave enough traces."
Looking at the tangled faces of others, Kyle smiled and said, "You don't think that with just a few words, you can make everyone believe what I said.
Only by doing this will more people be willing to sell those twenty Galleon maps, and we won't lose money. "
"I understand the reason..." Fred looked at the map in his hand tangled, "but it's a bit too wasteful to destroy something worth more than ten Galleons. "
Fred now felt as if he had heard someone ask him to skip Galleons on the water.
After more than a decade of hardship, he simply could not accept such an inhumane decision.
At this time, Cedric, who had been silent, suddenly came over, stared at the map in his hand and said, "It's okay, if you can't do it, you can let me do it."
Fred immediately hugged the map tightly. "No, I'll do it. "
Although he couldn't accept it, if he had to waste Galleons, he didn't want to give this rare opportunity to others.
...
In just a few minutes, the atmosphere in the carriage changed completely.
The others sat there uninterested, sighing from time to time, feeling melancholy, and regretting the dozen Galleons that were wasted.
Only Cedric looked at them and laughed as if he had drunk a euphoria potion.
The sky gradually darkened, and the villages and wheat fields outside the window turned into mountains and forests.
The train was about to arrive.
After several people changed into robes, Fred became more and more nervous. He opened his box and looked for something in it.
At this time, two freshmen suddenly knocked on the door of their compartment.
It was Hermione, who had met on the platform before, and Neville, who was very nervous, followed her.
After listening to their purpose, Kyle asked, "So, you want me to help find a toad?"
"Yes." Hermione said, "We searched everywhere on the train but couldn't find it. Is there anything you can do?"
"It's not difficult." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "If you didn't leave it on the platform, it only requires a simple magic spell."
As he spoke, he took out his wand.
"Come on Leif!"
A frog croaked suddenly from the luggage rack of a certain box, and a toad flew straight over.
"Leif!" Neville shouted ecstatically, reaching out to catch the toad suspended in mid-air.
"Neville, I think you can try learning the Flying Charm." Kyle said with a smile: "Once you learn it, you will no longer have to worry about finding keys, textbooks or pets."
"Yes, you're right." Neville sniffed, "But I don't know if I can learn it. I'm stupid and I always mess up everything."
"Have some confidence in yourself, Neville." Kyle said with a smile: "Whether you can learn it or not, you have to try it to know, and I can also teach you."
"And me." Hermione said: "Learning spells is not that difficult. I have learned several of them during the summer vacation."
"Thank you, thank you." Neville lowered his head and looked a little pale.
At this time, the train gradually stopped.
Fred took a deep breath, looked past Hermione and Neville who were standing at the door, and said with a heavy expression: "Then I'll go."
"Stop dawdling." Kyle reminded: "We must hurry up before Hagrid takes the new students away."
