Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Hogwarts is about to start school again.

But compared to this time in previous years, St. Catchpore Village was less lively.

Since both Ron and Harry have graduated, Ginny is the only one who needs to go to King's Cross Station this year.

This also made Mrs. Weasley feel more relaxed.

However, according to the tradition of the Weasley family, when there were still a few days before school, they still accompanied Ginny on a trip to Diagon Alley.

While buying new textbooks and school uniform robes, I also stopped by to see Harry and Sirius' newly opened shop.

Although Harry was not optimistic about Sirius' talent in business, the store that had been prepared for several years was still opened. On Harry's birthday, Sirius gave him a birthday gift.

I have to say that it was still as generous as ever, but Harry didn't look very happy and his smile was very forced.

"It's not far, we'll be there soon." In Diagon Alley, Fred and George enthusiastically led the way.

After a busy holiday, they were finally free, and Kyle also rarely left the attic. After hearing that Mrs. Weasley was coming to Diagon Alley, they were dragged to the Burrow.

Kyle didn't refuse.

During this time, he was either facing Boggarts and Dementors, or he was immersed in a lot of weird black magic books, and he also needed to change his mood a little.

Especially those black magic books, almost every one of them contains varying degrees of mental pollution. Fred and George were tortured for several nights just by accidentally seeing a symbol, let alone someone like Kyle. It lasted several hours just looking at it.

To be honest, when he first walked out of the house, he even subconsciously had some resistance to sunlight. Fortunately, Kyle was proficient in Occlumency and this situation quickly disappeared.

"We're here." George's voice came from the front, and then everyone stopped in front of a new shop.

"Potter Cottage!"

Fred read the name on the sign aloud, without caring about Harry who had just walked out and was about to stuff his head into the ground.

"Needless to say, this name must have come from Sirius." Bill couldn't help but tease.

Everyone else nodded. The name was so recognizable that no one except Sirius would regard it as a brand name, including James and Lily.

"I tried my best." Harry walked out, his face red.

"I wanted to change the name, but Sirius said that he had dreamed of opening a shop like this with me in Azkaban, so I couldn't insist on it anymore."

"I guess this is probably his purpose." Kyle gave Harry a sympathetic look.

Didn't he remember that Sirius's dream was not to live with Harry in Number 12 Grimmauld Place? When did it turn into opening a shop in Diagon Alley.

In addition, Kyle remembered that he found the magical land deed to the Diagon Alley store from the vault after he cleared his grievances. In other words, Sirius had no idea that he was still in Diagon Alley when he was in Azkaban. There are shops.

It can only be said that as a once influential figure in Gryffindor, it was too easy for Sirius to take control of Harry - it was as easy as a piece of cake.

But Kyle didn't tell Harry this.

By this time, others had followed Harry into the store.

Sirius seemed to have learned the lesson from the last time and did not open another cold drink shop. This was probably one of the few correct decisions he had ever made.

After all, he can lose money in Hogsmeade, which has no competitors, let alone Diagon Alley. In addition, this store has a unique location, not far from the Florin Cold Drink Shop. If he opens another cold drink shop Shop, it’s just a matter of giving away money.

So Sirius chose the candy store. Kyle walked around and found that there were mostly chocolates. The chocolate frogs alone occupied an entire wall of shelves.

"I'm just here to help."

Not far away, Harry was talking to Ginny, "I didn't dare tell Sirius that I wanted to play Quidditch. I planned to wait until the trial letter arrives before telling him."

"Have you found a team?"

"I don't know if it counts." Harry sighed, "Holyhead Harpies, Oliver Wood told me that their team's Seeker has been underperforming recently and wants to find a replacement. He is already helping. I asked for news."

"Really?" Ginny said happily, "I really hope you can succeed."

"Thank you, thank you."

"Actually, I also want to become a professional Quidditch player." Ginny said, "Maybe we can even become teammates."

"That would be great."

The two of them chatted, getting closer and closer, and unknowingly their shoulders were almost touching each other.

"Harry——" Mrs. Weasley turned her head.

Kyle watched as the two of them bounced away as if they were hit by a unicorn running at full speed.

"Weasley——Mrs. Weasley, what's wrong?" Harry said, with a hint of unexplainable guilt in his voice.

But Mrs. Weasley didn't notice it, pointed to the chocolates on the shelf and asked, "How much do these cost?"

I'm going to buy some. "

"It's for you." Harry blurted out: "It doesn't cost any money, you can just take it.

To a certain extent, Harry and Sirius are still very similar - always surprisingly generous when facing friends.

"That's not okay." Mrs. Weasley shook her head with a serious look on her face.

"Yes," Bill also stood up, "I am also planning to buy some as snacks for the wedding. If you don't charge me, I will have to find another one."

Bill and Fleur are getting married, and the wedding is scheduled for the day before Hogwarts starts.

"That---okay." Harry still wanted to give it away for free, but seeing that Bill and Mrs. Weasley were resolute, he didn't insist anymore, and instead gave him a very good discount.

It won’t be a loss, but it won’t be a profit either. It can already be said to be the cost price.

Mrs. Weasley bought some for Ginny as snacks, and Bill also picked out some candies and chocolates that Fleur liked to eat, to be used as snacks at the subsequent wedding.

Although Sirius had no talent, he still had a good eye. In addition, he and Harry opened the shop together this time, so it can be said that he was very attentive and collected many rare candies and chocolates.

Kyle also saw the foreign high-end candies that Malfoy showed off a few years ago. Each box was at least five galleons, more than ten times more expensive than Honeydukes' most expensive candies.

There are also candies that Hibiscus sent to France for Christmas, and they are also available here.

Bill bought a lot of chocolate and a big bucket of toffee.

Fred and George followed suit and bought some to use as raw materials for their quick-acting skip-the-school candy.

"You are here."

At this time, Fleur suddenly walked in from outside, went straight to Bill, and naturally took his arm.

"I just went to the store next door by mistake." She muttered in a low voice, "You must not know what I saw."

"It can't be a dark magic item," Bill said half-jokingly.

"What's even scarier is that nothing in that store is lower than five galleons." Fleur couldn't help complaining: "At a glance, they are all priced above ten galleons. Can you believe it? A broken branch It actually costs five hundred and fifty galleons!"

Upon hearing this number, everyone present gasped.

Mr. Weasley even calculated silently, five hundred and fifty galleons, half a year's salary, how could a tree branch be so expensive!

Of all the people, only Kyle had a strange expression, as if he had guessed something.

"The owner of that store must be a greedy goblin." Furong was still whispering, "I saw it,

The clerk there is a witch..."

"Sorry--it should be the house elf." Kyle couldn't help but said.

Originally, he wanted to pretend not to know, but Fu Rong scolded him too dirty.

What do you call a shop opened by a goblin?

Hearing Kyle say this, Fred and George also thought of something.

Speaking of which, they had just noticed that Kyle's shop seemed to be right next door.

Could it be that the goblin-like profiteer that Furong mentioned just now...

"And the five hundred and fifty galleons thing is not a branch, but the horn of a horned camel." Kyle continued: "This magical animal was on the verge of extinction seventy years ago, and the price is still very reasonable. of."

At this time, other people's eyes also looked over.

"Well, that's my store." Kyle shrugged.

After a moment of silence, there was a burst of exclamation, and even Harry couldn't help shouting out.

He also went next door once, and even though he already had enough Galleons in his vault, he was frightened by the high prices.

Compared to five galleons of grapes, the candies in their store are like freebies.

But he never expected that the greedy profiteer he had scolded countless times in his mind would actually want Kyle.

For a moment, he felt an inexplicable embarrassment.

But the one who was more embarrassed than him was Fleur. Harry was scolding her in his mind, but she was in front of him -

The enthusiastic and generous French girl's face turned red, and her nails almost dug into Bill's arms.

The atmosphere became a little awkward, so Kyle had no choice but to take the initiative and said, "Want to visit?"

Everyone agreed.

Mainly they were a little surprised, most of them didn't know when Kyle opened a shop in Diagon Alley, including Harry.

Sirius did know, but during this time he was busy looking for those rare and delicious candies and forgot to tell Harry.

Kyle's store is right next door, just two steps away from the candy store.

Ron was so curious that he walked in first, but after he saw the prices on the shelves, he subconsciously wanted to run out.

It's too exaggerated. It seems like the only currency in this store is Galleons.

"A quill, fifty galleons?!" When Ron walked to a shelf, someone couldn't help but yelled, "It's higher than my monthly salary, and it's not that expensive even if it's made of gold. Bar!"

"Salary?" Kyle glanced at him.

"That's what George and I did before." Fred took the initiative to explain: "You had been staying in the attic before, so you didn't know."

"Ron has been working for a month."

“We recommend it.”

"Okay." Kyle nodded and explained: "These are thunderbird feathers, so the price will naturally be more expensive.

I can give you a cost price if you like. "

"Cost price?" Ron whispered, "How much is it?"

"Well——" "-30% off." After being called a profiteer, Kyle was really embarrassed to tell them that most of the cost prices here were only 10% off, so he simply raised the price.

Thirty percent off, that’s about it.

"That's————.-Fifteen Galleons——." Ron pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed dryly, "I would be crazy to——

No, even if I were crazy, I would not spend fifteen galleons on a quill.

"Harry, can you?"

"Probably not." Harry glanced at Kyle and said cautiously.

The literati gave him five knuts for a quill, and he already thought it was pretty good.

A fifteen galleons quill - if it can write its own homework, it might be something to consider.

Mrs. Weasley thought the same thing as they did, but was too embarrassed to say it.

She still hasn't recovered from those outrageous prices.

If this store was not owned by Kyle, she would definitely not come in, and she would have to walk faster even when passing by the door.

Mr. Weasley was not too surprised. He had heard some news from Fred and George before, but they had never been here.

In Harry and Sirius's shop, everyone could still take the initiative to buy something, but there was nothing they could do here.

Even Fred and George never thought about taking care of Kyle's business, not at all.

Only Furong bought a coral necklace, not out of guilt, but because she really liked it.

When she said that before, she was just scared by the unexpected price. After truly understanding the items in the store, she actually felt that it was quite worth it.

This kind of gemstone coral is rare even in France, and the price is quite reasonable. She insisted on paying the original price.

However, Kyle did not accept it, but regarded it as a congratulatory gift from him.

Everyone stayed in Kyle's store for a shorter time and came out quickly.

After that, Mrs. Weasley took Ginny to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore and Madam Malkin's Robe Shop.

It took a lot of time to make new robes, and it was almost noon before everyone returned to the Burrow from the Leaky Cauldron.

Lunch was also taken care of at the Burrow.

Then Mrs. Weasley hurried to the garden with the others, "Hurry up, we still have a lot of work to do."

Bill, Ginny, and Ron each carried a large bucket and followed her out.

Kyle went back to the family loft, reluctantly joined by Fred and George.

"Do you still want to study the Horcrux Curse?" Fred watched Kyle pick up the glass bottle on the table and said after hesitating for a moment: "I think you, um - don't be in such a hurry."

"Yeah." George nodded repeatedly.

He now regretted his promise to help Kyle.

After briefly strolling around Diagon Alley today, he missed the free days even more.

"At least, you have to finish attending Bill's wedding."

"It would be a bit rude if the three of us look like we haven't woken up by then."

Kyle thought for a while and felt that what they said made sense, so he threw the bottle into the open box nearby.

His own research is almost done, and he should wait until he meets Professor Sasia before making any decisions about the future.
