Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 359 Professor Lu Ping’s First Pot of Gold

 The person who came in was a little witch, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and was one of the onlookers at the door.

“Do you still have the badge?” Seeing Kyle didn’t say anything, she asked again, “I want to buy one too.”

"Of course!" Kyle reacted and quickly reached into his pocket and took out a large handful, "How many do you want?"

 “One will do.” The little witch stepped forward, picked a silver-white one, and gave Kyle two Galleons.

 Not everyone loses things as often as Neville, so naturally they don’t need to buy so much.

 “Oh…what a discerning eye, the scales of the Australian opal eye.”

Kyle smiled and said: "That is a very powerful fire dragon. It can swallow an entire sheep in one bite."

 “Is this kind of fire dragon very powerful?” The little witch looked a little surprised.

"Very impressive." Kyle nodded affirmatively, "And they are the most beautiful among the fire dragons, and are sought after by many people."

The little witch’s eyes became brighter and brighter, and she walked away happily holding the badge.

With her as a precedent, other people who were still watching outside couldn't help it and walked in one after another.

Although two galleons are expensive, school has just started and they have the most pocket money, so they can still afford two galleons.

 And it has to be expensive. If it’s too cheap, they won’t dare to buy it.

Not to mention that these are the scales of a fire dragon, which are of good quality. Even if they are no longer needed, they can be sold in Diagon Alley... at least one galleon is definitely fine.

The first few people picked out all the white ones, but the little wizard who came after him hesitated and chose a blue one.

“Oh, Swedish Brachysaurus…” Kyle laughed, “They have unique blue flames and are very agile. They are a nightmare for other magical animals.”

 “Is it very strong?”

"There is no doubt about it." Kyle smiled: "Wise choice, I guess you must be a Ravenclaw."

 “That’s right!”

 Then someone picked out a green one.

“Welsh green dragons, whose fire can reach twenty feet…”

Someone else chose brass color…

“Peruvian Venomtooth Dragon, compared with other fire dragons, they have more deadly weapons.”

 …

There are more and more people around, but not all of them are here to buy things. More people are coming to watch the excitement out of curiosity.

  After all, most students’ pocket money is less than ten galleons, and that’s for a whole school year. Two galleons is not a small amount.

And in their opinion, it is impossible for dementors to enter the school. Spending two galleons to buy a badge is a bit luxurious... although it is indeed very beautiful.

 Fortunately, you don’t need to spend money to watch the fun.

Everyone gathered outside, and soon there was a creaking sound from the door frame of the box, which was somewhat deformed by the crowd.

 “Ron, could you please help maintain order?”

Kyle turned back and said, "I will pay you two galleons."

 When he heard the first half of the sentence, Ron wanted to refuse because he had to take care of Harry.

 Until Kyle finished the second half of the sentence...

 “No problem, leave it to me!”

 He pushed Harry into a corner, stood up immediately, and walked out the door with his head held high, "Those who want to buy things should line up, and everyone else should go back to their own boxes..."

 “Keep quiet...what? Who am I, you ask? My brother is the student body president!”

 …

Not only Ron, but also Lupine stood up to maintain order.

Of course, he was not doing it for the two galleons...but because of the professor's responsibilities.

As an adult wizard, his words were naturally more effective than Ron's. The spectators quickly left, and the remaining people who were shopping also lined up and entered the box in an orderly manner.

 …

Thirty minutes later, Kyle saw off the last group of people, and at the same time, the train gradually stopped.

 This time we have really arrived.

The students began to walk off the train. Kyle took two from the pile of galleons beside him and handed them to Ron, "Here you go, we agreed." Ron rubbed his hands on his clothes again and again excitedly. Then he took it carefully.

He squinted his eyes and carefully felt the gold galleons in his hand. It was as if he was dreaming. This was the first time he had so much money.

 Then, Kyle took out two more galleons and gave them to Lupin.

Lupine was looking at the pile of Galleons in a daze at the moment, but after seeing Kyle's actions, he quickly shook his head and refused.

"I'm a professor..." he said seriously: "I should help."

“No, the principal hasn’t announced the news yet, so strictly speaking, you are not a real professor yet.”

Kyle threw the two Galleons over without any explanation, "Take it, sir, as a professor, you must have a decent robe."

 After saying that, Kyle left the box.

Lupine quickly caught the two Galleons and wanted to return them, but looking at the patches on his clothes, he hesitated.

Kyle was right, he did need some decent clothes.

 Forget it, let’s pay him back after the salary is paid.

Lupine shook his head in amusement. Unexpectedly, the first money he received at Hogwarts was not the salary given by Dumbledore, but the hard work fee given by the students.

 Thirty minutes, two galleons... Before this, he couldn't earn this much in two months.

 “Students nowadays are really rich.” Lu Ping sighed in his heart.

On the other side, after Kyle got off the train, his hands suddenly stretched out from left to right.

 “Where’s our reward?” Fred asked.

 “What reward?” Kyle looked at him confused.

"Don't pretend to be confused, you can't get past it." George said, "We helped too, as well as Cedric and Ginny."

“Hurry up and get the money, two galleons, we can’t give it less than Ron’s.”

"Remuneration? No!" Kyle said matter-of-factly: "Isn't it right for you to help?"

 “So…” Fred raised his eyebrows with a bad look on his face.

Kyle continued to walk forward and said without looking back: "I don't have any money, so I'll just wait and see..."

"Then George and I have two Galleons in total..." Fred lowered his request, "Maybe not Galleons, just Sicor."

"No."

 “Even if it’s a knut.”

 “Neither does Nat, can Neville do it?”

Fred and George turned green.

Ginny was holding a large handful of sweets and giggling beside her.

Cedric was also laughing. He naturally knew why Kyle was looking for reasons to give Galleons to Ron and Professor Lupin. After all, without them, those badges would not have been sold so fast.

The group of people laughed and laughed all the way to the carriage. Kangna, Qiu and Luna were already waiting in advance.

Since they were not familiar with Harry and the others, they did not go there with Kyle before, but stayed in the box.

I thought they might be back in ten minutes, but I didn't expect them to wait until now.

　　“Why have you been gone so long?”

"Is Potter seriously injured?" Kangna asked: "We wanted to go over and have a look, but there were so many people around and the road was blocked, so we couldn't get in."

“It’s not serious,” Kyle said. “It’s just that young people tend to get sleepy, and it’ll be fine if they take a nap.”

“Then why have you been gone for so long?”

 “A little something happened in the middle...I’ll explain it to you on the way.”

Kyle took the lead in getting onto a carriage and used the Traceless Stretching Charm until there was enough room for eight people to sit inside.

 He has become quite proficient in using this spell.

 After that, other people got on the carriage one after another.
