The whole process is very smooth, without any abrupt feeling.
Although Kanna's goal was the same as theirs, both sides cooperated with each other, which was why things went so smoothly.
But even so, Kyle had to admit that Slytherin did have a natural talent in socializing.
So at the dinner table, the first thing he said to Connor was, "Remember to stay away from Slytherin in the future, or you won't even know you've been sold out by them."
Cedric beside him also nodded in agreement.
In order to avoid any further complications, two gold-edged maps were delivered to Rawl and Yaxley after lunch.
After that, with their "promotion", it took less than two hours to sell all the remaining nine maps, except for the sample in Kanna's hands.
Some of the little snakes wanted to print their family crest on it.
Kyle originally disagreed, but they offered too much.
The price has doubled... who can resist this?
So in the end it became sixty Galleons.
"Divide the spoils... ahem, divide the Galleons."
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Kyle directly pushed half of the Galleons in front of Kanna: "We agreed before, split it equally."
"No, you counted wrong." Kanna shook her head, counted out ten Galleons and put them back, then looked at Kyle in confusion.
"It should be twenty Galleons divided equally between three people. Are you so bad at math?"
"I..." Kyle opened his mouth and felt a tightness in his chest.
"Just go ahead, as long as you are happy."
Cedric almost died of laughter beside him.
Kyle, bad at math?
He could laugh about this for the whole school year.
Kyle pushed the twenty Galleons over unhappily. He didn't understand how Cedric, who used to be such a good person, could become like this.
Good man, you don’t even bother to gloat over other people’s misfortunes?
Cedric didn't care about Kyle's bad attitude at all. He picked up a Galleon and rubbed it carefully in his hand.
"This many Galleons are enough for me to buy ten evil bird feather pens."
"Evil Bird Feather Pen?" Kyle frowned and said, "What's so good about that thing? It's so expensive."
"It looks good." Cedric said as a matter of course, "I've had my eyes on the yellow one for a long time. That color goes well with Hufflepuff."
Kyle thought of something and grinned, then quickly returned to normal and said calmly, "Then you should buy a few more so that you can use them in rotation in the future."
"No, just buy one first." Cedric thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to give the rest to my father."
Hearing this, Kyle couldn't help but look at him. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Cedric continue, "Maybe if he's happy, he'll change the broom he gave me from the Sweeping Seven Stars to the Nimbus 1700."
Kyle swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The Nimbus cost 1700 Galleons, which was two hundred Galleons more expensive than the Seven Stars Sweep. Twenty turned into two hundred. Cedric's abacus beads were about to burst on his face.
But you never know, with Mr. Diggory's character, after learning that Cedric joined the college team and earned a full twenty Galleons, he might actually buy him a Nimbus.
Kyle's eyes flashed, and an idea suddenly came to his mind, but it was too late now, so he could only wait until tomorrow.
……
After distributing the Galleons, Cedric went to the kitchen and brought back some cookies, desserts and other snacks, as well as a large pot of pumpkin juice.
The three of them held a small celebration in the common room.
Kyle picked up a glass of pumpkin juice and just took a sip when he saw Kanna across from him taking out seven or eight small bags and putting two Galleons into each bag.
"???"
Under Kyle's puzzled gaze, Connor explained: "I'm afraid of losing it again, so it's better to keep them separate."
Cedric asked in surprise: "Kanna, did you lose Galleons?"
"Yeah." Kanna nodded and briefly recounted what happened.
After listening to this, Cedric also put away his smile, thought seriously and said: "There shouldn't be any on the Quidditch field. After each flying class, Madam Hodge will check the field. If someone drops something, it will be found quickly.
And when I was training yesterday, I didn't hear about anyone picking up twenty Galleons.
How about this, I will ask other people for you tomorrow to see if anyone has seen Garlon."
"It's okay. I don't care anymore." Kanna pointed to the pile of small bags in front of her and smiled, "These are enough for me to use for a long time."
"Forehead……"
"I lost twenty Galleons, and you're just going to ignore it?"
Cedric said nothing. Somehow, the pumpkin juice in his hand seemed to have suddenly turned into lemonade.

Chapter 53 Hagrid's Letter
Selling the map was undoubtedly a very successful act. The young wizards got convenience, the professors were in a good mood because no one was late anymore, and Kyle and others also made a small fortune. It can be said that everyone was happy.
If anyone was unhappy, it was probably Filch.
Once Fred and George had enough money, the corridors would often be filled with the smell of dung.
Filch was almost mad with rage. He wanted to follow the twins all day just to catch them in the act.
But Fred and George always found a way to get away from him.
Because of this incident, Qiu and Kanna became more familiar with Kyle, especially Kanna. She no longer avoids Kyle when sitting in class.
Maybe she has gotten used to it, her social phobia is not as serious as before. At least after getting extra points from the professor, she can reply with a "thank you" calmly like everyone else.
The first-year curriculum at Hogwarts is quite easy, with only three classes a day under normal circumstances.
But if you include homework, that’s a different story.
The young wizards had to spend all their spare time in the library just to finish their homework which was several feet long.
And the font cannot be too large, because the last person who did this was not only deducted five points by Professor McGonagall, but the workload was also doubled, causing him to have dark circles under his eyes for a long time.
In the end, it was Professor McGonagall who cancelled the punishment because she was afraid that he would stay in the classroom one day.
But since then no one dared to use such a clever trick again.
But there are exceptions to everything.
What seemed like a nightmare to others was a piece of cake for Kyle.
It's just a thesis, he has experience in this matter, and there is no such thing as plagiarism check for freshmen, so he can write however he wants.
Borrow some ideas from a few related books, add some optional sentences of your own, and then make a summary.
In less than twenty minutes, a perfect assignment was produced, and the professor even praised him for his extensive reading.
The exception is a certain Potions professor who does not wish to reveal his name.
For some reason, Kyle always felt that Snape disliked him more and more, and would find reasons to deduct two points from him from time to time.
But Kyle had no choice but to avoid Snape as much as possible, and buy a bottle of Potter's Quick-Smoothing Shampoo every time he was deducted points, preparing to give it to him anonymously after accumulating a box.
On Halloween, Kyle sat in the library reading as usual. It was not until the dinner was about to start that he came to Madam Pince holding the unfinished book "The Great Duelist".
"How many days will you borrow it this time?" Madam Pince asked without looking up.
"one day."
"Ah."
Since Kyle came to borrow books every few days, Madam Pince still had some impression of him. She simply made a note of his name and time and that was it.
As today is Halloween, the auditorium was hung with colorful decorations earlier.
Pumpkins carved into various shapes floated above the auditorium, instantly filling the air with the Halloween atmosphere.
A thousand bats fluttered along the walls and ceiling, and there was even a huge cloud of bats hovering over the dining table.
As it was not yet time for the dinner, the entire hall was noisy, with almost half of the people gathered around the Gryffindor table.
Fred and George each wore a pumpkin head and imitated the signature moves of the Headless Hunter Club, making everyone laugh.
The professors on the stage did not stop him, as they were watching with equal fascination. Dumbledore even cheerfully took out some candy and wanted to exchange it with other professors.
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him.
Even Professor Sprout, who had the best temper, declined the pile of cockroaches he offered.
"You went to the library again?"
When Kyle sat down at the Hufflepuff table, Cedric poked his head over and asked, "A book about dueling...what are you looking at?"
"Charms homework."
Kyle handed the book to Cedric and said, "I have to get back the points I lost in Potions class. The practical application of basic spells is what Professor Flitwick likes to see the most."
Cedric also knew that Kyle had been madly targeted by Snape recently, so he looked at him sympathetically and asked, "Did you gain anything?"
"Don't mention it."
Kyle sighed. "Obviously, no wizard would use the Unlocking Charm during a duel."
Cedric pursed his lips tightly to avoid laughing out loud. He had thought that Kyle had used a levitation spell in the last class, but it turned out to be an unlocking spell.
Not to mention duelling masters, even first-year students wouldn't use the unlocking spell when fighting.
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips even tighter.
Kyle looked at Cedric suspiciously, and his intuition told him that he must be thinking something impolite. But before he could say anything, an owl landed nearby.
It stretched out its paw and placed a note on the plate in front of Kyle.
"For me?"
Kyle opened the note curiously. The handwriting on it was very sloppy and messy, but fortunately it was still recognizable.
Dear Kyle Chopper.
