Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

After this period of hard work, Kyle's shop in Diagon Alley has been basically decorated. Several shelves have been placed in the most conspicuous places, and a house elf is removing the goods piled on the ground one by one. Place on top.

"Thank you for your hard work, Dobby." Kyle walked in from the outside and handed him an ice cream filled with nuts and biscuit crumbs. "You're still here to help me organize the goods during the holidays."

"Dobby doesn't feel hard at all." The house elf took the ice cream excitedly, "Dobby just wants a vacation, but Dobby is more willing to help sir."

Even though Dobby took the initiative to ask for vacation and salary, which was considered an outlier among house elves, it was more like a formality. In his heart, he still retained the same characteristics as other house elves.

For example, I can’t take any time off.

When he heard that Kyle was short of a tally clerk, Dobby, who had similar experience, came over immediately, not caring that today was his weekly holiday.

"I told you why I keep seeing you in Diagon Alley recently. I didn't expect you to open a shop here." A slightly surprised voice came from outside the door.

Kyle looked back and realized that the person who came was Florin Fusco, the owner of the ice cream shop next door. He had just spent money in the other party's shop.

The two met when the Death Eaters attacked Diagon Alley. At that time, the owner of Fosco's shop was one of their targets, but he was later saved by Kyle.

"Welcome, Mr. Fusco." Kyle greeted warmly.

"I just came to take a look." Fusco said, "This store has been idle for at least thirty years. It has been closed since I opened the store. I didn't expect that it actually belongs to you."

"It was also a coincidence," Kyle said.

Fusco walked into the store, looked at the items on the shelves curiously, and finally stopped in front of a bunch of grape-like things, "Are you open now?"

"Of course." Kyle said, "As the first customer in the store, you can get a 50% discount on this purchase."

"No need." Fusco waved his hand, "I still have this small amount of money. Besides, I have always wanted to repay you for your life-saving grace."

"What is this?" he asked, holding the bunch of grapes in his hand.

"Oh, you are so discerning. The pods of the King Vine are one of the sweetest fruits in the magic world. The ice cream will definitely sell out." Kyle said.

"The King Vine...isn't this a magical plant unique to North America?" Fusco was stunned for a moment, "I heard that it was strictly controlled by the local Ministry of Magic fifty years ago."

"Yes." Kyle sighed, "Grindelwald and his dark wizards destroyed the local environment, and only one-tenth of the place suitable for the growth of King Vine is left. This thing is directly Became an endangered plant."

"You can actually get such a good thing?" Fusco was even more surprised.

He did not doubt Kyle's words, because even when he held it in his hand, he could smell a refreshing and sweet smell, which was obviously genuine.

And based on Kyle's relationship with Principal Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, he should not bother selling fakes.

"Ah, it's also a coincidence." Kyle smiled.

"How much." Fusco swallowed while holding the pod.

Just holding it in his hand, the sweet smell went straight into his nostrils, and he couldn't wait to taste it.

"It's not expensive, only ten galleons."

Visibly, Fusco's hands trembled.

"Merlin, a string of ten galleons is so expensive?"

"No, not a bunch, just one." Kyle smiled even more happily. "You also know that this thing is impossible to buy on the market, so the price will naturally not be cheap."

Fusco's hands shook even more, and while holding his breath, he carefully placed the pods in his hands back on the shelf.

Can't afford it, can't afford it.

He could only earn about five galleons after a hard day's work. If he accidentally dropped the bunch of pods on the ground, his two months' work would be in vain.

"What about this..." He looked at the bottle of ink next to him.

Although he didn’t understand why things like ink and king vine pods appeared on the same shelf at the same time, he could always afford such common stationery...

"Mobik squid ink." Kyle raised his head and glanced up. "This is cheap, only fifty galleons... but it requires the permission of the Ministry of Magic to sell it, which is not available now."

if only?

Fusco suddenly felt a slight toothache.

"That's really unfortunate. I quite... like it." He moved his steps and subconsciously moved away from the shelf.

After walking around again and asking about the prices of several other items he was interested in, Fusco suddenly felt that he didn't need to be so anxious to repay Kyle for saving his life.

The main reason is that it is too expensive. The ten-gallon King Vine pod is considered a cheap thing. God knows where Kyle got these rare goods.

But he also consumed it.

For a galleon, I bought a box of candies.

"It's really hard for you to find this thing." Fusco looked at the candies that were flying like bees above his head. "I remember this was my favorite when I was in first grade, but it was discontinued not long after. Yes, I heard that Honeydukes has a new owner.”

"As long as you like it." Kyle said with a smile, "Would you like something to drink? Black tea or butterbeer, these are the only two drinks in the store at the moment."

"Oh, your store also provides free drinks?" Mr. Fusco said in surprise.

"Not free, except for friends." Kyle took out a bottle of butterbeer and put it on the table.

As long as they have spent money in the store, they are friends. If they haven't spent money... Even if Fred and George come, they won't even think about taking a sip of plain water from him.

Although Mr. Fusco's consumption standards are slightly lower, he is the first customer after all, so he deserves some special treatment.

Moreover, Kyle felt that there was a possibility of cooperation between them.

"I tell you, you could actually buy two king vine pods." He took out another bottle of butterbeer and sat down next to Mr. Fusco.

"No, I can't afford that stuff." Fusco shook his head repeatedly.

Unless he is crazy, he will use two days' profit to eat a fruit.

"You're not eating it yourself, you're using it as raw material to create a new special taste." Kyle said softly: "The flavors in your store haven't been changed for several years, and the most expensive one is Bashiko. It's time to sell it." A high-end product.

"Squeezing one King Vine pod into juice is enough to make ten portions of raw materials. Even if one portion is sold for one galleons, you can still make a profit."

"One galleon...can't sell it?" Fusco hesitated.

"You'll know if you try it. If it doesn't work, just divide it into twenty or fifty parts..." Kyle waved his hand.

Dobby immediately understood what he meant and trotted to pick a pod and bring it over.

Kyle handed it to Fusco.

"Just like what we said before, 50% off, how about selling this pod to you for five galleons? In addition, I will personally give you a box of old-fashioned milk candies."

"That's...ok." Fusco hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Although five galleons of fruit was also outrageous, he could still afford it at this price.

He decided to go back and try half a pill as raw material first. If he couldn't sell it... he would treat it as a fresh taste.

As Kyle said, king vine pods are really rare and worthy of a luxury.

After sending Mr. Fusco away, a familiar face suddenly appeared from the corner of the street.

Draco Malfoy?

Kyle was stunned for a moment, then immediately hid himself.

However, Malfoy seemed to be doing something and didn't notice the newly opened shop and walked straight over.

Kyle hesitated for a moment, turned around and said:

"Dobby, I have something to do. I'll leave this place to you. It's closed recently. Remember to close the door later."

"No problem, sir." Dobby nodded.

After explaining this, Kyle nodded on his head with his wand, and as the surrounding light distorted, his figure disappeared.

Afterwards, Kyle walked out and followed Malfoy. He was curious as to why this little Death Eater who was expelled from Hogwarts appeared in Diagon Alley at this time.

Because Hogwarts had already started school, there were not many people on the street.

As expected, Malfoy quickly turned into Knockturn Alley.

These Death Eaters are really interesting. They seem to go to Knockturn Alley no matter what they do, for fear that others will not know that they are dark wizards.

Kyle didn't hesitate and followed in.

Knockturn Alley is still the same as before. There is almost no one on this small street closely related to black magic. It is obviously a prime location near the street entrance, but the shops on both sides are empty, and even the shopkeepers are too lazy to show up. .

This is normal. Maybe this is a prime location in other places, but with the exception of Knockturn Alley, people who come here to buy and sell things are most afraid of being seen, so usually they don’t choose to stay within a short distance of the street. The place where the mouth goes deeper.

After walking forward for a while, there were finally more and more people around.

Several tightly wrapped wizards sat on the ground, with a pile of disgusting-looking things in front of them.

Malfoy frowned and walked over quickly.

Although the natives in Knockturn Alley were very interested in this little wizard who suddenly broke in, no one dared to think anything of him thanks to Draco Malfoy's conspicuous platinum hair.

Everyone knows that the Malfoys are popular people around Voldemort, and their standard feature is their platinum blonde hair.

No one wants to make themselves unhappy.

In this way, Draco Malfoy passed through this crisis-ridden alley smoothly.

At the same time, these people did not notice that there was another person following Malfoy.

Knockturn Alley is deeper than Kyle thought. Draco Malfoy walked for more than 20 minutes without stopping. Kyle doubted whether this place was still in the category of Diagon Alley.

He also saw a group of werewolves, the same group he saw when he came here last time. When passing by them, Kyle could clearly see that Malfoy became nervous, but he still did not hesitate. Walked over.

Kyle followed him.

A werewolf seemed to have discovered something and smelled the surrounding smell carefully. His cloudy yellow eyes glanced at Malfoy's empty back.

But after a moment, he looked away again.

There were fewer and fewer people around, and it seemed that even the dark wizards were unwilling to come to the depths of Knockturn Alley.

Finally, Malfoy stopped in front of a dilapidated door.

As soon as he approached here, Kyle vaguely heard a subtle buzzing sound.

Malfoy looked around nervously, and after making sure no one was around, he opened the door and walked in.

Kyle's eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw someone, an acquaintance, and at the same time understood what the buzzing sound he had just heard was about.

The earplug listening spell is a spell to prevent eavesdropping.

Before Malfoy could walk in, Kyle quickly stepped forward and stuffed something that looked like an ear into the pocket of his robe.

Malfoy seemed to notice something and subconsciously turned his head, but was soon stopped by another voice.

"Come in, honey."

"Please, Severus, you are really the only one who can help us this time."

Kyle hid outside the door, listening to the woman's sobs coming from his telescopic ears, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Severus... it was indeed Snape.

Unexpectedly, that guy actually met Narcissa Malfoy in such a remote place, and even used earplugs to listen to the spell.

I just don’t know if Lucius knows.

Kyle had a wicked smile on his face and looked around.

It's a pity that there are no windows and I can't take pictures.

What a pity.

There was no other way, Kyle could only sigh and continue to listen to the sound coming from the telescopic ears.

"I said, this is impossible, it's useless even if you beg me!" Snape's voice came from inside.

"But Severus, Draco is your godson..." Narcissa seemed to be really about to cry.

"Mom, don't..."

Draco Malfoy seemed about to say something, but was interrupted.

"Don't talk Draco, stand aside." Under Narcissa's loud reprimand, Draco really became quiet.

"I said, this is impossible." Snape continued: "Although I am the Dean of Slytherin, I have no right to let Draco return to Hogwarts. You should know that he once The things he did were enough to expel him from the school a hundred times..."

"But that was the Dark Lord's order. Draco was forced to do so, and there was nothing he could do..."

"Shut up, Narcissa!" Snape said sternly: "If you still want him to live, if you still want Lucius to live too, dig this thought out of your heart. The Dark Lord's orders cannot be ignored." To disobey, we only need to comply, there is no forced or voluntary nature.”

"But Severus... Draco will die." Narcissa choked: "If he were not a student at Hogwarts... he would no longer be protected by Dumbledore... he would die. …

"That guy named Kyle...he killed seventy Death Eaters in Godric's Hollow...seventy...even Bella died, if he knew Draco had tried to kill him... "

There was a thump in Telescopic's ears, and Narcissa seemed to lose her strength and fell to the ground.

Kyle raised his eyebrows, not expecting that he had his own business here.

But think about it, the Godric's Hollow incident had just happened, and at this time, my name should be quite bad among the Death Eaters, so it's understandable that Narcissa would be afraid.

"Do you think he doesn't know?" Snape said coldly: "Or, do you think you can fool him with your clumsy tactics?"

"But I'm still alive," Malfoy said, his first complete words after entering the room.

"Even if he suspects it, there is no evidence to prove that the opal necklace was prepared by me."

"Evidence, that's what Dumbledore needs." Snape sneered, "Do you think a man who can kill seventy Death Eaters without changing his face needs evidence?

"Unlike Dumbledore, he only needs to be suspicious."

"But he didn't kill me." Malfoy seemed a little dissatisfied, "If it's like what you said, why didn't he kill me."

"That's because you were still in Hogwarts at the time." Snape said impatiently: "Dumbledore couldn't have let him do something outrageous in front of him in school. This allowed you to keep a Life."

As a person who experienced it firsthand, Snape knew best what happened at that time, and he also knew that Kyle knew exactly where the opal necklace came from.

If it weren't for Dumbledore, Malfoy might have disappeared in the Forbidden Forest long ago, and there would be no chance for him to stand here and tell cold jokes.

It's just that he didn't say these words, otherwise Kyle would definitely cry out for injustice.

He was not a Dark Lord, how could he attack his classmates, let alone Malfoy who was once his big customer and contributed a lot of galleons to him.

At most, just teach the other party a little lesson.

As for the Death Eaters in Godric's Hollow, it was the other party who made the first move. He was just protecting himself.

Besides, Voldemort also had a share of the credit, so we can't put all the blame on him.

…
