Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 528 What Hufflepuff told me

　　After discovering the golden cup, Kyle suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head calmly, and spoke to the goblin behind him in a very calm tone.

“Here, Mr. Griphook is right, can you help me get that golden cup?”

Griphook did not move, and he said in a sharp voice: "Sir, only Mr. Black has the right to take things from this vault."

"Are you sure that's what you...Bellatrix want?" Sirius reminded: "Don't get it wrong, we won't be able to come here a second time."

"Yes, that's it." Kyle said, "A small item that is not very valuable, but is very commemorative to Ms. Bella."

“Did you hear that?” Sirius looked at the goblin Griphook, “Hurry up, take it down, and get out quickly, this place is really uncomfortable.”

"As you wish, Mr. Black." Griphook bowed slightly.

 He snapped his fingers, and the golden cup that was still on the stone platform floated steadily to Sirius.

 Sirius grabbed the golden cup and handed it to Kyle.

Then the two retreated to the open space outside and watched Griphook close the vault door again.

 “I must remind you again, Mr. Black.”

After confirming that the vault door was completely closed, Griphook turned around and said: "You can no longer take anything from this vault in the future."

“You don’t have to tell me, I know.” Sirius muttered, “I would never want to come to this place if I could help it.”

 “That’s good,” said Griphook.

 Probably because he only took away an inconspicuous gold cup, he seemed very happy now.

 After that, the three of them got back on the car and ran wildly in the passage.

 Before Sirius vomited, they finally stood on the sunny street outside Gringotts.

“I don’t understand why you only took such a worthless gadget.”

Sirius looked back, and after confirming that no goblin was following them, he couldn't help but ask: "There are many truly valuable things in that vault, such as the crown, which is the work of a medieval alchemist master and is very famous. It has always been regarded as a treasure by the Lestrange family and is worth tens of thousands of galleons."

“Tens of thousands of Galleons? That’s indeed valuable, but...” Kyle patted the leather bag holding the gold cup, “It’s far behind compared to this thing.”

"Ah?" Sirius didn't take it seriously, "Isn't it just a gold cup? How valuable can it be."

“Hufflepuff’s golden cup.” Kyle said, “It’s on the same level as Slytherin’s locket, what do you think?”

 Sirius stopped abruptly and looked at Kyle in disbelief.

"Hufflepuff's..." He subconsciously yelled out, but he quickly reacted and shut his mouth immediately.

 “You mean, Helga Hufflepuff?” he walked up to Kyle and asked quietly.

 “Who else could it be?” Kyle said matter-of-factly.

"But…"

Sirius lowered his voice again, "Why is Hufflepuff's gold cup in the Lestrange family's vault, and how do you know about it? You can't be here before."

"Of course not. I was only one year old when Bella was captured. I guess she couldn't have been here." Kyle said, "It was...well, Hufflepuff himself told me. You should learn from other professors." Have you heard about it? I once met the Big Four."

"this…"

 Sirius looked a little confused.

 He had indeed heard of it, Lupine had told him.

 But the question is...the Big Four, characters from more than a thousand years ago, actually communicated face-to-face with Kyle?

This is a bit too unbelievable. He had always thought it was just a rumor before, and he had often laughed at Lupine.

 “Have you really met Helga Hufflepuff?” Sirius asked again.

"That's absolutely true," Kyle said. "Professor Dumbledore can also testify."

Sirius' expression became even more confused, and he murmured to himself: "It's incredible..."

Looking at Sirius's appearance, Kyle didn't explain anything.

  After all, he is the only one in the entire magic world who has seen the four giants, and whatever he says is what he says.

  Anyway, the place where the golden cup is hidden is what Helga Hufflepuff said, don’t you believe it? Well, go find her and confront her. Kyle continued walking, preparing to return to Hogwarts through the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.

But just when he was about to reach the entrance, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

 “Wait a moment.”

 Sirius caught up from behind.

　　Probably because he had seen Slytherin's locket before, he quickly accepted the fact that Kyle got the gold cup again.

Moreover, one thing after another has been beyond his imagination recently, and this is no exception.

“There’s no need to rush back, we have five hours, come with me.”

 He took Kyle and started walking back.

Kyle just thought that he wanted to buy something for Harry again, so he didn't refuse.

　Today is a holiday, the school is not in session, so it doesn’t matter if you stay outside for a while.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of Gringotts again, and then stopped opposite it, which was the entrance to Knockturn Alley.

 “You want to go shopping here?” Kyle asked doubtfully.

In addition to dark magic items, there are all kinds of things of unknown origin in Knockturn Alley. Sirius must have wanted to give these to Harry.

 If this is the case, then his heart is too big.

"Oh, what are you thinking about?" Sirius shook his head, "Even if I want to go here to buy something, I can't bring you with me. This is not a place where students should come... That's where I want you to see, hurry up Look at that store!”

 Sirius pointed forward.

Kyle looked over and found that it was a shop without any signboard. The door was closed and there was a layer of dust on the glass window. It had obviously been idle for a long time.

“What’s wrong with this shop?” Kyle whispered: “But it’s really strange. It’s right opposite Gringotts, so why is such a good location always empty?”

"That's because I was locked up." Sirius said, "This is my uncle's shop. Later he left it to me. When I went to Gringotts' vault to withdraw money some time ago, I took the magical land deed here. Found it."

 “That’s it.” Kyle nodded.

This makes sense. As the owner of the store, Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, so this place must not be empty.

 “What do you think about me opening a shop here?”

Sirius said longingly, "I have dreamed countless times... that when Harry graduates, we will run a shop together. We don't need to make much money, but we can be together every day."

“That’s a good idea.” Kyle nodded, “Then what are you going to run, potions, herbs, or magic props…”

"Um... I haven't thought of it yet." Sirius' expression paused, "Maybe we can open a dessert shop and sell some ice cream, pudding or something. I found out yesterday that Harry likes pudding."

"Are you sure?" Kyle subconsciously looked at the Florin cold drink shop, which was only two shops away from here.

It is the most famous cold drink shop in Diagon Alley. It has been open for more than a hundred years and has countless regular customers. It can almost be said to be one of the most famous signature shops.

Hey guys, selling ice cream here may not be as simple as making less money. To be honest, it would be cheaper to just sit and eat at home.

"It's just an idea. Harry can choose what to sell." Sirius naturally saw the Florin cold drink shop and scratched his hair in embarrassment.

“Or you can package the gadgets you have made before and sell them to us... I remember that your maps, badges and the like are very popular at Hogwarts.”

“So what you’re saying is that you want to sell the products we made at Hogwarts?”

Kyle thought for a while and said, "That's okay. Although the sales of those things may not be very good after leaving school, we won't lose money anyway.

 And when the time comes, I can make another copy of everything and send it over. You can try it first, and if there is no problem, then expand the scale. "

"No, no, no, it's part of it, not all of it." Sirius said, "After all, you always have to leave something for your shop, right? We just want to find something interesting to do, something to put on display, every week Just make a few galleons."

"Why should I keep that thing?" Kyle said, "I don't have a store, so I'll save you some trouble."

“No, you have it.” Sirius shook his head, and then pointed to an equally vacant store next door, “That place will be yours from now on… Well, it’s my Christmas gift to you.”
