Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 957 Kangna’s Shopping Guide

"I think a hundred galleons is a very reasonable price."

When Kyle said this, Ms. Rosmerta happened to bring a glass of mead and two glasses of freshly made butterbeer.

Looking at the three people chatting together, she was still very surprised.

Ms. Rosmerta is naturally no stranger to Kyle. Before this little wizard graduated, she had already chatted with many famous wizards here.

The first is Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts. Needless to say, many wizards have known that Kyle is one of Dumbledore's most proud students a long time ago.

In addition, the former Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was also very fond of him, and even went so far as to make this student, who had not yet graduated, become the youngest senior minister assistant in the history of the Ministry of Magic.

This matter caused a lot of discussion at the time. Many people thought that this was Fudge trying to please Dumbledore... After all, before this, they had had a heated argument over the issue of whether Voldemort was resurrected, and even broke up for a time.

They believed that Fudge must have realized something at that time and wanted to make amends and repair the relationship with Dumbledore.

Kyle is a good breakthrough point.

Of course, these are all the speculations of those drunkards after drinking, and Ms. Rosmerta does not think that the arrogant guy Fudge would bow to Dumbledore at that time.

Coupled with the few words the professors said when they came to drink, she knew Kyle's excellence better than most people.

But she didn't expect that this little wizard could actually have a good conversation with Dean Sasia, who lived in seclusion and almost never appeared outside... They even drank together.

It's incredible.

When Ms. Rosmerta approached, Kyle took the initiative to take the tray from her hand.

The butterbeer belonged to him and Connor, but the mead... Kyle looked at the wine glass in his hand, shook his head slightly, and then took out a glass bottle with no label on it from the leather bag.

"Dean Sasia, if you like drinking mead, you must not miss this."

After hearing Kyle's words, Ms. Rosmerta looked over subconsciously, squinting her eyes with anger.

What vision...

What she just brought was the best aged oak barrel mead. The old man Slughorn had been trying to get rid of it more than a dozen times, but she hadn't come up with anything good yet.

Look at what Kyle took out...the simplest glass bottle with no label and even the color is a little wrong. Can this be a serious thing?

But Sasia had no objection. She was deep in thought and didn't care about what she drank, so she casually pulled the cork off the bottle.

Suddenly, a strong smell of mead began to fill the Three Broomsticks.

"Merlin's beard..." Ms. Rosmerta blurted out: "This unique oak smell...have you found the unknown wine cellar in Hogwarts?"

Even Sasia was a little surprised. After taking a small sip, she immediately poured herself another glass. At the same time, she seemed to have thought of something and frowned slightly.

But she soon shook her head again, no longer thinking about the mead, and continued to be lost in thought.

But Ms. Rosmerta on the other side was not so calm. She just looked at the silent Dean Sasia. After hesitating for a moment, she still said nothing and silently retreated to the bar.

After Ms. Rosmerta left, a few more minutes passed before Dean Sasia raised her head.

She seemed to have made up her mind, smiling and holding out her wrinkled hand.

"Then the deal is established."

"I'll buy that thing, one galleone a year, until a hundred galleons are paid off."

"You took a big advantage." Kyle also stretched out his hand and shook Sasia's hand.

This also means that he has nothing to do with the basilisk at all. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel sorry for it.

The basilisk was a good thing that Salazar Slytherin named for him, and it helped him the most among all magical animals.

For example, in Godric's Hollow, even six fire dragons together were not as effective as one basilisk.

But in order to completely eliminate Voldemort, there is no other way.

And there is one more thing...if the basilisk is still alive, no one can guarantee whether Grindelwald will be interested in it. After all, this thing is considered the top equipment of the dark wizard, and it is no worse than the Obscurus.

Even if you don't use it, keeping it around is a status symbol.

If Grindelwald wanted to grab it, Kyle really couldn't do it.

This is fine now.

Kyle silently comforted himself, at least no one would have to worry about the basilisk suddenly coming out of the box and hurting the students at Hogwarts.

"Why, you can't bear to leave?" Sasia looked at Kyle with a tangled face in amusement.

"No." Kyle shook his head and put his box on the table. "It's inside. Do you want to take it away now?"

"Don't worry, I don't have such a big container. You can help me deliver it later." Sasia waved her hand.

"No problem, just treat it as an after-sales service. It is guaranteed to be delivered to the designated place." Kyle forced a smile.

"Of course, I won't let you suffer." Sasia continued: "In this hundred years, I will..."

"No, forget it." Kyle suddenly spoke, interrupting her, "I suddenly changed my mind. How about a one-hundred-gallon payment."

"Oh?" Sasia looked at Kyle in surprise, "Why?"

"I admit, I may have had other ideas before...for example, using the Basilisk in exchange for St. Mungo's, or Dean's friendship," Kyle said.

"So what." Sasia said, looking unconcerned.

"It's nothing, I just don't think it's necessary anymore."

Kyle picked up the butterbeer and took a sip, frowned and said, "And I suddenly realized that I looked a lot like the Minister of Magic just now, which is not good."

"Pfft..." Kangna next to her couldn't help laughing.

Even Sasia couldn't help but twitch her lips, "Fortunately Amelia is not here. I hear what you mean, wouldn't it be good to be the Minister of Magic?"

"It has nothing to do with this, but that's not what I like." Kyle shrugged, "So let's pay it in one lump sum, or one hundred galleons."

"I don't agree."

Sasia looked at Kyle, shook her head slightly, and rejected Kyle's proposal.

"Actually, I'm thinking the same thing as you." She poured herself another glass of mead. "Because neither St. Mungo's nor I can afford a whole basilisk."

"Can't you afford a hundred Galleons?"

"What I mean is that it really doesn't have the value of 'friendship' in it." Sasia shook her head, "So even if you don't say that, I might have to shamelessly use 'friendship' instead of a large part of the addition." Long. "I agree with you. One hundred galleons is a very reasonable price. I didn't expect my friendship to be so valuable... Oh, and this. "

Sasia took out a gold galleon and placed it on the table.

Kyle was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and naturally picked up the Galleung and handed it to Kangna next to him.

"Remember for me, Headmaster Sasia still owes us ninety-nine gold galleons. If she doesn't pay next year, we will sue her at the Ministry of Magic."

Kangna was still a little unresponsive for a moment, looking at Kyle and then at Sasia.

"What are you waiting for? I really like Basilisk. Don't let Kyle change his mind." Sasia said with a smile.

Kangna then accepted the Galleung in a dumbfounded manner.

Dean Sasia seemed to be in a good mood. In just a short while, she had finished half a bottle of mead.

"I loved this when I was young, but later I discovered that it affected my judgment of potions, and I rarely drank it after that."

Sasia took another sip and sipped, "But this taste...you can't really find the wine cellar of Hogwarts."

"More or less." Kyle pretended not to care, "It's just the mead that Helga Hufflepuff brewed a thousand years ago. It's no big deal."

"As expected..."

"Really?" Kyle was stunned for a moment.

He felt as if Sasia already knew the origin of mead...

No, she probably didn't know about the Hufflepuff Gold Cup. Did Dumbledore tell her?

"It tastes like honey." Seeming to notice Kyle's confusion, Sasia took the initiative to explain: "I once received a precious gift, a small bottle of honey from a thousand years ago.

"I tried using it instead of amaranth petals and lemon juice, brewed a special elixir, and tried the effect myself. I remember the special taste, which was completely different from today's honey."

Hearing her words, Connor was immediately interested, but it wasn't mead.

"Really? Dean Sasia, can you really use honey instead of amaranth petals?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, and it was very successful." Sasia looked at the little witch with shining eyes and said: "Preliminary judgment is that the duration of the elixir has been increased by 20%. More importantly, this blessing The effect of the elixir will gradually weaken before it ends, allowing people to adapt to the sense of gap faster. "

As she spoke, Kangna was thinking about something.

"You don't need to remember these." Sasia continued, "Maybe it's the difference in type. Only the honey from a thousand years ago will work. I've tried the current honey. Although it works, it will make the elixir of happiness worse. The effect is greatly reduced.”

"Is that so..." Kangna looked a little disappointed.

Sasia looked at her, "Have you started brewing the elixir?"

"No, I'm just preparing." Kangna shook her head, "It takes a long time to brew the elixir of fortune. Now I'd rather learn some special healing potions."

"If it's a broad-spectrum antidote and a black magic neutralizer, I have some special tips that I can share with you, if you are willing."

"Of course, I mean, I wish I could..."

Kyle looked at the two people who suddenly became familiar with each other, silently gave up the middle seat, picked up the butterbeer and took a sip.

For a long time after that, Kyle seemed to not exist, listening to the names of various materials.

At first it was normal, it was all about potions and potion materials, but then I don’t know when, there were more types of crucibles and grinding techniques.

He had already finished three glasses of butterbeer and was speechless, unable to say a word.

It wasn't until noon that the two of them finally ended the topic.

This was because Sasia needed to go back to stirring the crucible and had to stop the topic.

They separated at the Three Broomsticks door, Connor decided to stay here, and Kyle went back to St. Mungo's with Sasia, and sent the basilisk there by the way.

When he came back, he saw a shorthand quill standing in front of Kangna, quickly recording the content of the chat just now.

"How does it feel?"

"I have gained a lot. Dean Sasia recommended a very good store to me." Kangna said excitedly: "She told me that there is a semi-wizard village in Sutter County, and the quality of the potions sold there is comparable. Corner Alley is so much better.

"There is also the village of St. Catchpol, where you can buy better quality crucibles... I remember your family lived there, why have you never told me about this!"

There was a hint of complaint in Kangna's voice.

Kyle blinked blankly.

Is there a place that sells crucibles in the village of St. Cachipol?

Maybe... As a village where many wizards live, there are more or less special shops. These places basically have Muggle expulsion spells, and only wizards can enter.

But one thing is that Kyle did not lie to Connor. He really didn't know and had no impression at all. After all, if he needed to buy something, he would usually choose to go directly to Diagon Alley.

There are enough shops there, you can buy whatever you want, it is the most convenient place.

It's not that far anyway, go out and walk to the Burrow, then use the Floo Network, and you'll be there in the blink of an eye.

The same goes for the Weasley family. Kyle has never heard them say that they go to the village to buy things, they always go to Diagon Alley.

Perhaps wizards like the Lovegood family who don't have a fireplace connected to the Floo Network would choose to buy some necessities in the village.

But Kyle really didn't know, especially what kind of crucible it was. He only knew that for a while, Percy was obsessed with crucibles.

"I will write to you and ask if there is really a place that sells crucibles..." Kyle couldn't help but ask when he returned to Hogwarts. "But, that's all you talked about just now?"

A good potion ingredients shop, a good cauldron shop... there are even robes that are more suitable for brewing potions.

Why are these topics so different from what he thought?

When two people who like potions get together, shouldn't the chat be about how to improve the potion formula and its effects?

Just like it was at the beginning of their conversation.

Listening to Kang Na's description, Kyle always felt that they were talking about a shopping guide specifically for potion masters...

"Because I learned more about potions from Uncle Severus." Connor explained: "So although Dean Sasia is also a potion master, not all of her methods are suitable for me.

"In contrast, her experience surprised me even more. I didn't know there were so many good places in the UK, and even some prohibited trade materials had fixed places for sale."
