Chapter 13: The Little Witch and the Mouse
"Wait, you can also make other pet tonic?"
Cedric's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Can I ask you to make my Owl Tonic in the future?"
"Of course. Kyle glanced at the gray owl on the shelf beside him and said. "But Owls are different from Mouse. Owl Tonic are more troublesome. I have to charge nine Sickles."
"Don't think it's expensive. This is already the market price. Besides, I got my formula from Newt Scamander. The tonic I make is much better than those on the market. It's definitely worth the money."
"Well..."
Cedric nodded.
That's right. In Diagon Alley, the cheapest price of an Owl Tonic is nine Sickles, and the better ones even cost one Galleon.
If Kyle's Owl Tonic formula really comes from Newt Scamander, it is indeed worth the money.
But...
"Can it be cheaper?" Cedric said a little embarrassedly. "We are friends, there should be a discount. "
To be honest, Cedric actually wanted to buy seven or eight.
But he was only in the second year, and his pocket money was so little, and he was really short of money.
Although Hogwarts provided food and accommodation, the expenses for quills, ink, parchment, etc., were not small. Add in other miscellaneous things. It was just enough for a semester.
Although he could save a lot if he just saved a little and deducted unnecessary expenses, the question was, who would complain about having too many Galleons?
It would definitely be good to get a discount.
Facing Cedric's hopeful eyes, Kyle touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully. "Well, you are right. We are friends, and we definitely can't use the market price."
"Right, right." Cedric's eyes brightened.
"How about this..." Kyle gritted his teeth, stretched out a finger, and said. "You just pay this amount."
Cedric was surprised and said: "One Sickle? "
Kyle shook his head. "No, it's one Galleon."
"..."
Cedric still had the same smile, but his tone had changed.
"One, one Galleon!"
"Is this a discount?"
"Yes, it's 20% off." Kyle said seriously. "Think about it, in Hogwarts, except for those Slytherin brothers and sisters, who else would spend Galleon on Owl Tonic? My business is hard to do."
"..."
Cedric was dumbfounded, and his eyes twitched when he looked at Kyle again.
Too shameless, can such words be said in front of him? And so righteous? Do you still have any basic moral concepts of wizards?
Cedric was so angry that he trembled all over, took a deep breath, and said. "Kyle, you will definitely be sorted to Azkaban."
Kyle raised his eyebrows, not caring at all. He even asked. "Do you still want the Owl Tonic?"
Cedric grinding his teeth and said.
"Yes..."
But just when he was about to pay, the carriage door was pushed open again.
A small figure walked in nervously.
A beautiful little girl with brown hair tied into two ponytails and a little baby fat on her round face looked like a freshman.
Huh?
Kyle and Cedric looked at each other at the same time.
'Come to find you?'
'I don't know her!'
Although neither spoke, they miraculously understood what the other wanted to say because it was exactly the same as what they wanted to say.
After understanding Cedric's meaning, Kyle looked over again and asked in confusion. "Did you go to the wrong carriage?"
The little girl seemed to be a little socially anxious.
When Kyle asked her this, she subconsciously wanted to run out, but then she held back and shook her head and said. "No, I didn't go wrong. I want to find you."
"Looking for me?" Kyle was even more confused. He was sure he didn't know the girl before him.
Ignoring Cedric's teasing look, Kyle continued to ask. "What do you want to see me for?" As he spoke, Kyle looked at the girl again.
He really didn't know her. Besides, she didn't have the slightest resemblance to Chris so that some bloody plots could be basically ruled out. For example, he was suddenly having an extra sister before school.
"That... I just overheard your conversation in the corridor."
The girl's voice was very soft and sounded weak. She didn't know if she was worried about being misunderstood by the two of them. She hurriedly explained. "Please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. The red-haired senior forgot to close the door. It was really careless..."
But Kyle obviously didn't care about such a small matter. He waved his hand and said. "It's okay, you continue. "
The Hogwarts Express is like this, with poor sound insulation. Even if the door is closed tightly, he can still hear the shouting in the corridor, and it should be the same outside.
And when Percy came just now, they didn't deliberately lower their voices, so it's normal for others to hear them, nothing strange.
Hearing Kyle say this, the girl also breathed a sigh of relief, then reached into her pocket and took out a big gray Mouse.
???
Kyle looked at the scene before him and felt familiar as if he had just experienced the same scene.
Oh, by the way, Percy took out Scabbers just now, and the two people's movements were exactly the same. Even the Mouse they took out were of the same species.
Is this a classic reappearance?
Thinking of this, Kyle's heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously looked at the Mouse.
The claws were all there, so it should be a regular Mouse.
Kyle shook his head in self-mockery, feeling that he was a little too nervous.
That is to say, there are not so many illegal Animagus in the Wizarding World. Even if there are, they will not all turn into Mouse and lurk around the little wizard.
One weirdo like Peter Pettigrew is enough.
After calming down, Kyle roughly guessed the other party's intention and asked tentatively. "So, you want to buy Mouse Tonic from me?"
With a mouse around, she also mentioned Percy, plus their previous topics were basically related to pet tonics. Putting all these together, Kyle couldn't think of any other reasons besides Mouse Tonic.
"Is it okay?"
Sure enough, after hearing Kyle's words, the girl nodded, her big watery eyes looked at Kyle hopefully, and whispered. "I've bought a lot of tonic in Diagon Alley, but the effect is not very good."
"Of course, it's my honor."
After discovering that the girl in front of him was a customer, Kyle immediately smiled sincerely. "Wait a minute, I'll get it right away."
"By the way, my name is Kyle Chopper, this year's freshman, you can call me Kyle."
"Kanna...Kanna."
The girl's chubby face flushed slightly, and she whispered. "Kanna Prince."
