Chapter 629: Discounts Among Peers

After about twenty minutes, the shop owner and Daphne finally came out.

"Just change it as I said and send it to Hogwarts tomorrow, no problem." said Daphne, who was walking at the front.

"No problem." The shop owner said with a smile, "I will definitely send the dress to Hogwarts on time."

"Okay." Daphne nodded, turned and walked out the door accompanied by the shop owner, "We're going back, Astoria."

When passing by Kyle and Connor, Astoria greeted them politely, but Daphne just snorted and said nothing.

Kyle shook his head helplessly. This was not the first time this happened.

Since the start of school this year, some Slytherin's attitudes towards him have changed drastically.

Such as Malfoy.

Although the relationship between Kyle and him was not very good before, it was not bad. Coupled with the other party's money making ability, there was quite a lot of overlap.

But this year is different. The two of them haven't spoken a word for so long since school started, and they haven't even met a few times.

Kyle felt that he seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. Lucius Malfoy should have specially asked him before school started.

In addition, Pansy, Crabbe, Gower, Millicent, Maldom and other major clients who had contributed galleons to him also uncharacteristically drew a clear line with him.

Under their influence, other Slytherins gradually became colder towards him, and Daphne was one of them.

As Pansy and Millicent's friends, this is natural.

Faced with her attitude, Kyle, who originally wanted to say something, didn't mind his own business and quietly watched them walk out of the clothing store.

After seeing them off, the shopkeeper came over and asked, "What do you two want to buy?"

"I want to make a new winter uniform," Kyle said.

Like Madam Malkin's Robe Shop in Diagon Alley, this place also has a custom-made Hogwarts school uniform business, and the prices are similar.

"Is it just a school uniform?" the shopkeeper asked, "Would you like a cloak, a dragon skin cloak? I'll keep you warm after wearing it."

"No need." Kyle glanced at the most expensive cloak on the display rack, three hundred galleons.

Although according to the dragon skin cloak, the price is not particularly expensive, but it is a complete dragon skin cloak.

The one in front of me is a cloak spliced ​​together by magic. The upper part has a bit of blue, which should be the Swedish Brachysaurus, and the lower part is the unique gray-white color of the Ukrainian iron belly.

It's just that the person who made the cloak did it very well and covered it up with a unique pattern, making it difficult for ordinary people to see it.

"What about the same cloak as Durmstrang?" The shop owner didn't give up yet and continued: "It only costs twenty galleons."

Kyle shook his head again, "Just a school uniform."

Hearing what Kyle said, the shop owner slowly put away his smile.

Hogwarts school uniforms are items with a clear price tag, and unless they are sold in large quantities, they make no money at all.

"Okay." said the shopkeeper.

Then a tape measure automatically flew over and began to measure Kyle's height, while the store owner himself returned behind the counter and sorted out the things on it, without any of the previous enthusiasm.

But Kyle didn't care.

After a few minutes, the tape measure snapped shut and he walked over to the counter, reaching into his pocket to pay.

I don't know if it was because there were too many things in his pocket, but when Kyle was taking out money, he accidentally took out several small items.

A few short silver-white hairs and an irregular ruby.

"There are too many things," Kyle said, quickly putting them back into his pocket and asking, "How much."

The shopkeeper's eyes flashed, and after pondering for a moment he said, "One galleung."

"So cheap?" Kangna blurted out, thinking she heard wrong.

It's not like she hasn't bought anything before.

One galleons, not to mention Madam Malkin's robe shop, even in the second-hand shops in Diagon Alley, you can't find such cheap school uniform robes... let alone these are thick robes in winter.

"Yes, a galleone," said the shopkeeper. , "This is the thousandth school uniform robe sold by our store, special discount."

Kyle smiled, took out a Galleung and put it on the counter, "How long will it take."

"It'll be quick, just half an hour."

…

"You're really lucky, aren't you." After the two left the store, Kangna said happily: "It happens to be the thousandth piece."

"Maybe it's not just right." Kyle said pointedly.

"Remember that dress robe we were talking about?"

"The one with three hundred galleons?"

"Yes." Kyle said, "If I guessed correctly, the color of the unicorn tail hair on that dress is wrong. It is most likely that the mane was spliced ​​together using magic to disguise it as tail hair. The Fire Crab gemstone is also carved from broken gemstones...

"I dare say that the total of those materials is only twenty galleons at most. It is not as good as she said."

"Mane and broken gems?" Kangna asked curiously: "How can you tell."

"I've seen it too much, so I naturally know it." Kyle shrugged and took out the short hair and gems from his pocket.

"Could this be what you just said..."

"That's right." Kyle nodded, "The raw materials for the dress robe, the mane and the broken gems, obviously the shop owner also recognized it just now."

Strictly speaking, Kyle felt that he and this boss were half in the same business.

He had made something similar before, the most expensive custom map, which was also decorated with unicorn hair and fire crab gems.

They were the same thing, how could he not see the difference.

However, this shop owner was much more shady than him.

Kyle added in his heart... at least he didn't sell the map for 200 Galleons.

After leaving the store, it was almost ten o'clock, but Kyle didn't rush to the Hog's Head Bar. Instead, he found a window seat at the Three Broomsticks and drank a glass of pumpkin soda slowly.

Looking out the window, the number of students outside gradually increased, but their routes were surprisingly consistent. It was obvious that they were going to the Hog's Head Bar.

The path that was originally deserted was now full of people.

"There are more than 30 people." Kyle muttered in a low voice.

Connor also glanced out the window, "Aren't we going over there yet?"

"If you're curious, you can go over and take a look." Kyle said.

"Aren't you going?" Connor asked.

"Yeah." Kyle nodded, "With so many people participating, someone will definitely leak it out, and Umbridge will know it sooner or later.

"And my current identity should be opposed to Professor Dumbledore, and I shouldn't be there."

"Can't they sign a confidentiality agreement?" Connor thought for a moment, "Sign it before the start, and promise not to tell Umbridge about this."

"It's not very useful." Kyle said, "Even if they don't take the initiative to tell, friends always have to chat... Who knows who will accidentally let it slip, so it can't be hidden at all."

"Is that so." Connor said, "Can we use a stricter contract? For example, we can't discuss this matter in any form..."

"Yes, but not now." Kyle took a sip of pumpkin soda, "Most people are very resistant to contracts. No one wants to sign a strict contract without knowing anything.

"So, even if you want to keep it secret, you can only wait until the matter is finally decided."

"That's true." Kanna turned her head and looked out the window again, "Then I won't go either."
