Chapter 956 One Hundred Galleons

After the all-night party, Hogwarts started classes again early the next morning. Although it had been delayed for a few days due to the war, it was not a big problem.

Voldemort was not resurrected just now. In order to deal with the war that could break out at any time, Hogwarts had already made preparations. This included speeding up the progress of the little wizards' classes and almost doubling the amount of homework.

So before Christmas, the professors had already finished teaching the magic spells that needed to be learned, and then they were just teaching students how to protect themselves, which had nothing to do with the exam content.

But even so, the professors were still very nervous, especially Professor McGonagall, who had more things to do... not only had to teach transfiguration classes to students in seventh grade, but she also served as the principal of Hogwarts. Handle all events, big and small.

In addition, she also needs to represent Hogwarts and participate in the investigation of Snape's true identity.

It's a pity that Hogwarts doesn't have the magic of cloning, so Professor McGonagall can only run in both directions. Fortunately, she can use her status as the principal to temporarily lift the school's restrictions on Apparition - otherwise she would have to run away when she comes back to class. Over a huge venue.

The professors here were as busy as spinning tops, but on the other hand, Kyle, who was also a professor, was able to leave Hogwarts leisurely and go to London with Connor.

This time they went to visit Qiu.

As promised yesterday, Cedric was waiting in front of an old red brick store in the middle of the street.

This is the entrance to St. Mungo's, and a big "Closed for Renovation" sign hangs on the dusty door.

It is said that this sign has been hanging here for almost a hundred years, but no one coming and going felt anything was wrong.

Soon, Cedric saw two familiar figures, Kyle and Connor walking out of an equally dilapidated phone booth not far away.

This phone booth is a place for wizards to use Apparition, just like the red brick department store.

Muggle-repelling spells were cast on them to ensure that no Muggles would suddenly appear when the wizard used them.

"I'm here————"

Cedric came running from a distance.

"Where are Fred and George?" Kyle looked around, "Didn't they say they were coming too?"

"They have to wait a little longer." Cedric shrugged. "It is said that they received another batch of orders for quick-acting skipping candies last night. It was a big deal."

"Quick truancy candy? It seems like this must be an order from Hogwarts." Kyle raised his eyebrows.

Want to be lazy right after the war?

I have to say that this year’s little wizards are really bad.

I hope no little wizard is stupid enough to suddenly throw up in his class, Kyle thought to himself.

After all, his class is already very easy, with one lesson a week and the homework is only a foot long.

If there is still someone who wants to be lazy----then it can only be blamed on him for choosing the wrong class.

Kyle had participated in the entire process of making the quick-acting skipping candy, and he was very familiar with it...including how to make the antidote work.

"Let's go in first without waiting for them." Cedric said, and took the lead to walk towards a display window. "I just said it, just go in..."

Kyle and Connor followed.

The three of them disappeared into the air and emerged from the opposite side in the next second.

There were constant buzzing voices and moaning sounds all around.

"After the war, this place has always been overcrowded." Cedric walked upstairs with ease and said to the two of them at the same time: "But Minister Bones found the dean and helped Qiu's mother find a room."

"The minister came in person?" Kangna was a little surprised, "Didn't you say it doesn't matter?"

"Yes." Cedric said, "A poisonous spell that makes people scream like a gorilla, plus accidentally twisting their legs, really doesn't matter."

"Then Minister Bones came in person——Oh, does it mean that she has a good relationship with Qiu's mother?"

"I've never heard of them -" Cedric thought for a while, "They may have only met during this war, or they are familiar with each other."

While the two were talking, Kyle's focus was on another thing.

Learn the poisonous curse of chirping... -Are all Death Eaters today so creative?

What kind of curse is this? Well, according to the nature of the curse, it does count.

Although this spell has no effect at all on Kyle, for most other wizards, once they are under this spell, they can no longer recite the spell.

After all, orangutans can't recite incantations, and their troubles are second only to tongue locks and throat seals. They are truly evil Death Eaters.

"I actually don't know why Minister Bones came to St. Mungo's in person." Cedric continued: "But I guess he wanted to express his attention. Anyway, there are only a few people, and it's not too much trouble."

"Not many people?"

"Yes, although the battle at the Ministry of Magic started suddenly, there was no plan in advance.

But the strikers and Aurors were all on our side, and the other party was not the main force of Death Eaters, so the battle ended quickly.

"There are only a few injured on our side, and they were knocked over by our own people because they were running too fast."

this-.-·

Connor nodded. After hearing what Cedric said, it seemed like it was nothing. No wonder she was able to leave St. Mungo's so quickly.

Several people quickly arrived on the fifth floor.

Spell damage department.

It was more crowded here than other places, even the corridors were almost packed.

only--··

Kyle looked at the people on both sides and felt that they looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

"Suddenly!"

The iron bucket in the hands of the person in front suddenly fell, making a loud noise.

Kyle turned his head subconsciously and saw a man looking at the three of them in horror, and then ran away.

"stop!"

A man saw him at the corner and immediately chased after him.

"Why are those people running away?" Kyle frowned and asked doubtfully, "Are they also from the Ministry of Magic?"

"Ah, not really." Cedric hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, he waited until he came to a less crowded place before he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, these people are all Death Eaters.

"Did you see the people over there in the corridor? There are also those holding wands at the corner of the stairs. They are all Aurors and Strikers responsible for guarding Death Eaters."

Upon hearing the identity of the other party's Death Eater, the sympathy in Kangna's eyes immediately disappeared.

‘The Ministry of Magic was so kind, they didn’t interrogate them first. ’

"This - um -"

Cedric hesitated even more and said hesitantly: "Probably——"·

It's probably because they have no interrogation value. "

"They didn't take part in the war against Hogwarts?"

"I participated, but in a sense, I didn't participate either." Cedric glanced at Kyle and Kyle reacted immediately.

"Could it be that they were killed by me——."

"Yes, they are the ones trapped by Li Huo." Cedric's voice became even lower. "These people basically just rushed into the school and haven't moved since. That's why I said there's no point in interrogating them." Not big.”

No wonder·

The corner of Kyle's mouth twitched. No wonder he felt familiar.

After all, there were quite a few Death Eaters surrounding him at that time, and it was impossible for him to remember them all, so it would be good to have a rough impression.

"Ah, here we are."

At this time, Cedric stopped in front of a door, reached out and knocked.

"Mom, Seid must be here——" Qiu's voice came from inside, and then the door was opened. "I told you, in fact, you don't need to come to help——"

Maybe Qiu didn't expect that besides Cedric, Kyle and Kangna would also come, and she was stunned for a while.

When she reacted, she quickly closed the door again. If Kyle hadn't pulled Cedric in time, he might have hit the door now.

"Hey, Qiu, it's me——" Cedric shouted in confusion, but got no response.

Kyle did guess some possibilities.

In an evenly matched war, being wounded is an honor, but in a one-sided war this is not necessarily the case.

Especially this kind of crushing result... Whoever gets hurt will be embarrassed.

Qiu probably didn't expect that Cedric would bring him and Connor.

I think Fred and George probably found out the truth and made excuses not to come.

Of course, this special treatment was only for Qiu. If it were Cedric, they might have started laughing at the entrance of the red brick department store.

Kyle shook his head. The Death Eaters he suddenly talked about just now made him unaware of this.

But it's not too late.

Kyle quickly looked around, thinking of some reason to leave here naturally.

Just in time, when he turned around, he saw Dean Sasia walking from a distance.

"I'm so glad you won this war." Sasia also saw Kyle.

"Me too, Dean." Kyle said, "How about we talk somewhere else."

"Huh?" Sasia was stunned for a moment. Although she just came to say hello, since Kyle said so, she did not refuse.

Anyway, there was nothing going on at the moment, and after seeing Kyle, she just remembered something.

"Then let's go to the sixth floor."

The sixth floor of St. Mungo's is a tea room and shop, a place dedicated to chatting and meeting guests.

"Let's go together, Connor." Kyle tugged on Connor's sleeve.

The smart witch understood immediately and followed Kyle, leaving only the confused Cedric standing there.

Didn't we agree to come together to pick up Qiu?

Even if Fred and George missed their appointment, Kyle and Connor also went to do other things.

‘We are getting ready to leave soon, will you come back? "He asked from behind.

But Kyle sighed and didn't answer.

Forget it, I hope Qiu can be gentle when he starts. The three of them went to the sixth floor, the tea room exclusive to Sasia.

When sitting here, Kyle suddenly found that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He just made excuses to leave, but he didn't even think about saying anything to Sasia.

Otherwise, ask her if she has had lunch?

"you--."

"We just happened to meet here. I want to ask you something." Sasia spoke first, breaking the silence around her.

Kyle blinked.

"There is no need to ask for anything, Dean. If I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

"What if you need the basilisk's tailbone." Sasia sighed, "I know this request may be a bit excessive and will directly damage the basilisk's body, but I found a very special potion formula.

Basilisk bones are the most important material. "

"no problem."

"I know you are in a difficult situation, but this potion is good for--ah, what did you say?"

‘I’m not embarrassed, I said no problem. "

"But————." Seeing that Kyle agreed so readily, Sasia became a little hesitant.

"The tail bone of the basilisk is not venom and snake slough, but a piece of bone taken directly. Moreover, the tail bone is also very important to the basilisk and may affect its movement."

"That's not important." Kyle waved his hand, "It's okay even if you need the heart of the basilisk, because it has been killed."

"What did you say?!"

Sasia stood up instantly and looked at Kyle in disbelief.

"The basilisk—was killed?"

"That's a basilisk. Who can kill such a powerful creature-"

"Voldemort, who else could it be?" Kyle's understatement made Sasia's expression keep changing.

Well, Voldemort did kill the basilisk.

But...she still felt distressed.

The basilisk can always produce venom and blood while it is alive. She found that these two materials have an extraordinary restraint effect on black magic after being diluted to a certain extent.

Especially petrification magic, a potion brewed with basilisk venom is more effective than mandrake.

But the basilisk died.

In this way, her previous research—and so on.

Sasia suddenly thought, since the basilisk was already dead, why was she still bothered with that bit of venom.

"Kyle——"

"I want to sell the basilisk to St. Mungo's. What do you think?" Kyle seemed to have guessed what Sasia wanted to say and spoke first.

But this was originally his idea.

He needed a living basilisk, not a pair of materials, valuable though they were.

As soon as Kyle finished speaking, Sasia's breathing became heavy and her eyes were bright, but there was also a sense of ambition.

"How many galleons do you need--" Sasia tried to restrain her excitement, "I know that a basilisk is worth a lot of money--but St. Mungo's can give it Galleons are limited, if possible, can we pay it off in multiple installments.”

"It's okay, but I didn't expect that St. Mungo's couldn't even come up with a hundred galleons." Kyle sighed, thought for a moment and said, "How about this, how about paying one galleons every year? , no interest required.”

"Creak--" The chair Sasia was sitting on made a heartbreaking sound.

"How much?" She looked at Kyle in disbelief, thinking she had heard wrong.

"One hundred galleons." Kyle repeated.

Sasia was silent.

In fact, she wouldn't be surprised at all if Kyle, a little money geek, offered a sky-high price.

That's a hundred galleons. And paying one galleone a year - what's the difference between this and giving it away for free.

But Sasia did not agree immediately.

She looked at Kyle, picked up the tea cup on the table, put it down again, picked it up and put it down again, repeated it several times and then stood up directly.

‘Let’s talk somewhere else, I suddenly don’t want to drink tea. "

"How about the Three Broomsticks?" Kyle suggested. "The butterbeer is the best there."

"Okay." Sasia said, she waved her wand, and something around her seemed to disappear.

After that, she disappeared.

"Apparition?" Kyle raised an eyebrow. In his memory, St. Mungo's, like Hogwarts, prohibits Apparition.

But thinking about Dean Sasia’s identity, it’s not surprising.

The Headmaster of Hogwarts can temporarily lift restrictions, and so can the Headmaster of St. Mungo's.

"Do you need me to take you there?" Kyle stretched out his arm and asked Kangna who was standing aside.

"I'll wait for you in Hogsmeade." Connor just smiled and disappeared.

Then Kyle also used Disapparation to come to Hogsmeade.

The place has resumed business one after another, including Three Broomsticks. As soon as he arrived here, he heard waves of exclamations coming from inside.

"Ms. Sasia——

"Oh my God."

"Isn't this Dean Sasia?"

It seemed that someone had recognized her, and Ms. Rosmerta was also very excited. She had been controlled by the Imperius Curse before, and it was Sasia who helped eliminate all the effects.

"Welcome--Dean--." She drove away the other customers in the store without explanation. If Kelconna hadn't obviously come with Sasia, they might have been kicked out together.

"If you want something to drink, please let me buy it."

Ms. Rosmerta's attitude surprised Kyle. She had never been so excited even when she saw Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic.

"Mead, thank you, I need something a little different now," Sasia said.

When Ms. Rosmerta left to pour the drinks, she looked at Kyle and whispered, "This isn't St. Mungo's, is it?"

Kyle nodded, not understanding what she meant. "Then if I buy a basilisk from you in a private capacity, will you still agree?" Sasia looked into Kyle's eyes and said, "You can do it too. If the price increase is reasonable, I won’t refuse it.”

"No, no need at all." Kyle smiled, "I think one hundred galleons is a very reasonable price for either Ms. Sasia or the dean."
