"Wait, you can brew pet potions too?"

Hearing this, Cedric's eyes lit up, "So, can I ask you for owl potions in the future?"

"Of course." Kyle glanced at the grey owl on the shelf beside them, "But owls are different from rats. They need more complicated potions. I'll charge nine Sickles.

Don't think it's expensive. That's the market price. Plus, I got my recipe from Newt. The potions I brew are much better than those sold on the market. It's worth the price."

"Hmm..."

Cedric nodded.

That was true. In Diagon Alley, the cheapest owl potion would cost nine Sickles, and the better ones could even cost a Galleon.

If Kyle's owl potion recipe came from Scamander, then it was indeed a bargain.

But...

"Can you make it a little cheaper?" Cedric asked hesitantly, "We're friends, right? There should be a discount."

To be honest, Cedric wanted to slam his hand on the table and show off by buying seven or eight potions.

But unfortunately, he was only in his second year, and his allowance was limited. He was broke.

Although Hogwarts was all-inclusive, quills, ink, parchment, etc., were still expensive. Plus other miscellaneous items would be just enough for the whole semester.

Although he could save some by being frugal and cutting out unnecessary expenses, who wouldn't want more Galleons?

A discount would be nice.

Facing Cedric's hopeful gaze, Kyle stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully, "Well, you're right, we are friends, so we can't use the market price."

"Right? Right?" Cedric's eyes lit up even brighter.

"Okay..." Kyle gritted his teeth, and held up a finger, "You only need to pay this much."

Cedric exclaimed, "One Sickle?"

Kyle shook his head, "No, one Galleon."

"..."

Cedric's face still held the previous smile, but his tone had changed.

"One, one Galleon!"

"This is a discount?"

"Yeah, a 20% discount." Kyle said seriously, "Think about it. At Hogwarts, apart from the Slytherin rich kids, who would spend Galleons on owl potions? My business is hard.

Now I finally have a customer who is clear and won't flip out on me. I have to make a little more profit."

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

"..."

Cedric was dumbfounded. When he looked at Kyle again, his eye twitched.

Too shameless, could he say that in front of him? And so confidently? Did he even have any basic moral principles?

Cedric was so angry that he trembled. He took a deep breath and said, "Kyle, you're going to be sent to Azkaban."

"I'll take your word for it."

Kyle raised an eyebrow, completely unfazed. He even asked, "Do you still want that owl potion?"

"Yes..."

Cedric squeezed the word out between his teeth.

But just as he was about to pay,

The compartment door was pushed open again.

A small figure walked in nervously.

A very beautiful little girl, with brown hair tied in two pigtails, and a round face with a baby fat. She looked like a freshman too.

Hmm?

Kyle and Cedric looked at each other simultaneously.

For you?

I don't know her!

Although neither of them spoke, they miraculously understood what the other wanted to express. It was exactly what they wanted to say.

Understanding Cedric's meaning, Kyle looked over again and asked, "Did you get the wrong compartment?"

The little girl seemed to be a bit socially awkward. When Kyle asked her, she subconsciously wanted to run out, but then she held back, shook her head, and said, "No, I didn't get the wrong compartment. I wanted to find you."

"Find me?"

Kyle was even more puzzled. He was sure he didn't know this girl.

Ignoring Cedric's teasing glance, Kyle continued, "What do you need me for?"

As he spoke, he looked at the girl again.

He didn't recognize her. Plus, she didn't have any resemblance to Chris, which ruled out certain cheesy plotlines.

For example, suddenly having a younger sister before starting school.

"That... I overheard your conversation in the corridor."

The girl's voice was very soft, sounding gentle and weak. And perhaps worried that she would be misunderstood by them, she quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I wasn't deliberately eavesdropping. That red-haired senior forgot to close the door. It was a real accident..."

But Kyle didn't care about such a small matter. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go on."

That's how the Hogwarts Express was, the soundproofing was terrible. Even if he closed the door tightly, he could still hear the loud voices in the corridor. It must be the same outside.

Besides, they hadn't deliberately lowered their voices when Percy came in, so it was normal for people to hear them. There was nothing strange about it.

Hearing Kyle say that the girl relaxed slightly and then reached into her pocket, pulling out a dusty large rat.

???

Kyle looked at this scene, feeling like he had seen it before as if he had just experienced something exactly like this.

Oh right, that's how Percy took out Scabbers. Their actions were the same, even the rats they took out were the same breed.

Was this a classic reenactment?

Thinking about it, Kyle's heart suddenly tightened. He subconsciously looked at the rat.

Its paws were all there, it was a real rat.

Kyle shook his head self-deprecatingly, feeling a little too nervous.

That's right, where were all these illegal Animagi in the wizarding world? Even if there were, they wouldn't all turn into rats and hide around young wizards.

A freak like Peter Pettigrew, one was enough.

After calming down, Kyle also guessed the girl's intention. He asked tentatively, "So, you want to find me to buy rat potions?"

She was carrying a rat, and she mentioned Percy. Plus, their previous topic was all about pet potions... Putting it all together, Kyle couldn't think of any other reason besides rat potions.

"Is that okay?"

Sure enough, after hearing Kyle's words, the girl nodded. Her big, watery eyes looked hopefully at Kyle, and she said softly, "I've bought a lot of potions from Diagon Alley, but they don't work very well."

"Of course it's okay. It's my honor."

When he realized that this girl was a customer, Kyle immediately gave a genuine smile. "Wait a minute, I'll go get them.

By the way, my name is Kyle Chopper. I'm a new student this year. You can call me Kyle."

"Kan... Kanna."

The girl's round face flushed slightly, and she said softly, "Kanna Prince."
