Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 414 Lu Ping’s Scandal

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and as soon as the ice and snow outside the castle melt, the little wizards can’t wait to stuff their thick winter robes into the wardrobe.

 It is worth mentioning that due to some special reasons, the study of the Patronus Charm was not organized in February.

 Professor Lupine is too busy. In addition to regular classes, at other times...whether it is after the last class every afternoon or on weekends, you will never see him in the school.

 He ran to Hogsmeade almost whenever he had some free time.

 Gradually, some rumors began to spread in the castle.

Some people swear that Professor Lupine is pursuing Ms. Rosmerta from the Three Broomsticks.

 Although there is no definite evidence, this statement is recognized by most students.

Thinking about it, Hogsmeade is only that big, with only a dozen or so shops. Going there once in a while is really refreshing, but once you go there too many times, you'll get bored.

If it wasn't to meet someone, how could Professor Lupine be so active, leaving the castle from one to five o'clock every day, and then not coming back until after curfew... Probably, since no one has ever seen him before curfew time.

 Especially on weekends, you won’t see anyone all day long.

As a result, the gossip about Professor Lupine and Ms. Rosmerta began to spread wildly in the castle, as well as the clerk of the Literary Residence...Ms. Andel of the Owl Post Office...Mrs. Puddifu's brother-in-law...the owner of the Pig's Head Bar...there are various versions of the story. , the scope includes all shops in Hogsmeade.

Susan Burns even used these as her own bedtime stories and couldn't sleep without listening to a new version every day.

She even summarized them and bound them into a thick book. Many people came to her to borrow them every day, but few could borrow them.

Susan treasured the booklet and almost never left it.

 Some people felt that they had discovered a business opportunity. Early that morning, Fred and George went out of their way to find Kyle.

“Katie asked us to ask,” Fred said. “She also collected a booklet like this and wanted to collaborate with us.”

 “Cooperation? What do you mean?” Kyle asked.

“She is the one who provides this kind of booklet, and we are responsible for copying and selling it...” Fred explained: “In the end, we divided the accounts into thirty-seven.”

Kyle raised his eyebrows, "We copied it and sold it, and finally we got 70%?"

 “Seventy percent is hers, and we are three percent.”

George said, "But don't worry, we will definitely not agree... But she said her bottom line is 50-50, and it can't be any less."

"We have done some research, and if this deal goes well, we can get at least thirty galleons..." Fred added.

"How about it…"

 “Want to come together?”

Fred and George picked up a cookie from the table and ate it while looking at Kyle.

“It’s impossible for me to participate anyway.” Kyle said calmly, holding a book.

　Not to mention that they can all get thirty galleons in total, even if each person gets thirty galleons, Kyle would not agree to it.

What can I do with this little money, send house elves away?

 “And I have to remind you.”

Kyle continued: "If you still want to go to Hogsmeade outside of visiting days, it's best not to agree.

 Otherwise, I can guarantee that as soon as you step foot into Hogsmeade, Professor McGonagall will receive the news the next second, and you won't be able to run away by then. "

 Connor and Cedric on the side also nodded. They had the same idea as Kyle.

 “Well…you’re right.” Fred shrugged.

"And that's what we thought," George said. "But who made us teammates... No matter what, we have to ask."

 “This time is just right…”

"If you don't agree, it's none of our business..."

 “Who makes us few?”

In Kyle's speechless eyes, the two of them finished the last piece of bread on the plate with a smile, then put on a regretful expression, turned around and walked towards the Gryffindor table.

 Cathy Bell had finished her breakfast and was waiting for them.

"It's a pity..." Fred shook his head and sighed: "They all have other things to do, and they may not have much time recently..."

 “We’re going to help too…”

 The two of them sat next to each other and gave out the excuses they had thought of for a long time...

On the other side, after Fred and George left, Kyle also finished breakfast, got up and walked towards the library.

 He borrowed a book a few days ago and just finished reading it yesterday.

　Connor and Cho went to Hagrid's place.

The success of the first lesson gave Hagrid a lot of confidence. He no longer wanted to show animals with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, but instead showed cubs of various magical animals.

In addition to the unicorn at the beginning, he also brought in the little Sniff and the little cat... The response was very good.

 The students gradually recognized him as the new professor. Of course, there were exceptions, such as some people from Slytherin.

Hagrid was quite concerned about their mocking words at first, but as he gradually got used to them, he chose to ignore them.

Last night, Hagrid sent them a note, saying that he had found some new magical animal cubs, and asked them if they wanted to go and see them.

Kanna and Qiu agreed without thinking, and even got up early today.

If it weren’t for Hagrid’s craftsmanship that they couldn’t praise, they wouldn’t even have planned to come to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Cedric went with him.

But for Kyle, he has seen a lot of cubs of magical animals... He even helped deliver a litter of poisonous leopards two years ago.

 So in comparison, it is more important to return the book.

 After arriving at the library, Mrs. Pince was still sitting in her original position, cleaning the dust on the table.

Kyle put the copy of "The Great Potion" in his hand on the table.

 This is what he borrowed to search for the wolfsbane potion, and he just finished reading it yesterday.

Mrs. Pince picked it up and checked it as usual. After making sure there was no damage, she took it and walked towards a shelf in the distance.

Kyle didn't borrow any other books, maybe because it was invented a few years ago. There were too few records about the Wolfsbane potion. The most detailed ones only included the materials that needed to be used and what to put in them. It's just the order of the crucibles, nothing else.

 After Mrs. Pince left, Kyle turned around and prepared to find Connor and the others.

 But at this moment, he suddenly noticed the two thick stacks of books on the table next to him.

The books were piled high and shaky, as if they would collapse if touched even slightly. Through the gap in the middle, Kyle could vaguely see a piece of messy hair, which was Hermione.

　　Seemingly noticing Kyle's gaze, Hermione also raised her head. She looked tired, and there were thick dark circles under her eyes.
