This time he wanted to find someone to take Kangna to France. The journey was far away and the place was unfamiliar to him. He was not very relieved if Kangna was alone.
As an authentic French person, Fleur was naturally the first choice. More importantly, she had a good relationship with Connor during the Triwizard Tournament.
But now... looking at the disgusting looks of the two people in front of him, Kyle was really embarrassed to break them up.
"It doesn't matter." Fleur waved her hand and said, "I happen to have something to go back to France to help Ms. Maxim contact some of her friends, and I can't help much here."
"Yeah, yes, that's it." Bill nodded repeatedly, fearing that Kyle would change his mind.
"Let Fleur go and see Kangna off. Paris is very big, so we need someone who is familiar with it to lead the way."
"Wait a minute, you two." Kangna interrupted the two of them, "Kyle, you haven't said why you want to buy potion ingredients from Gringotts. I know you have Galleons, but it's not It’s such a waste, you’d better return them quickly.”
"Can't retreat." Kyle spread his hands. "I've already bought the stuff, do you think the goblin will give back the Galleons?"
"You..." Kangna turned red with anger at Kyle's prodigal behavior.
"Don't worry, it really didn't cost much." Kyle said with a smile.
But Kangna obviously didn't believe it. The other party was a money-grubbing goblin, not a philanthropist, so how could he not spend much money.
"I testify." At this time, Bill said aloud. At this point, he couldn't help laughing.
"Actually, the goblin made a request before agreeing to sell me the potion ingredients at the normal price."
"What request?" Kanna frowned.
You don't need to think about it to know that the conditions proposed by the greedy goblin are definitely the kind that a lion would open his mouth to, and its hidden value will definitely not be less than the overflowing Galleons, and may even be more.
Listening to what Bill said, they agreed. Are these people fools?
"Ahem..." Bill cleared his throat, then suppressed a smile and said, "He asked to pick something out of Kyle's vault."
"what?"
Kangna blinked, as if she didn't hear clearly.
"The goblin is willing to sell us the potion materials at normal prices, but the price is that for every discount exceeding five hundred galleons, he has to go to Kyle's vault to pick out an item and take it away."
This time, Kang Na also fell silent.
Only Furong looked very angry, "Greedy, shameless..."
"It's okay, don't get excited." Kyle said with a smile, "Actually, there is nothing in my vault."
"What?" Furong was stunned for a moment. In her opinion, a young wizard like Kyle who has become famous at a young age must have a very full coffers.
Not to mention anything else, the prize money for the Triwizard Tournament alone is a thousand Galleons. In addition, Kyle is also an alchemist himself. Although not many people know this, it is not few. After all, he invented many interesting magic props when he was in school.
As we all know, alchemists nowadays are very rich.
"Actually, all my things are stored elsewhere." Kyle pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing, "I haven't used the vault in Gringotts since the second year. If I If I guess correctly, there should be only three to five Galleons and some Sickles in there."
"Please don't use 'only' to describe it." Bill quipped: "We only have a bunch of Sickles in the family vault."
"That was before," Kyle said with a smile.
"So, that goblin made a miscalculation?" Fleur said with raised eyebrows.
"Obviously, that's right." Kyle said, "I don't know where he got the news from, thinking that there are good things in my collection, but unfortunately, not everyone likes to put valuable things in Guling From the Treasury.”
"How much did you trade?" Kangna asked.
"Five thousand galleons, the discount is also five thousand galleons... This is the most cost-effective deal I have ever made. Even when there were no Death Eaters, it was difficult to buy fifteen galleons of dragon blood and Mandrake."
Kyle smiled even more happily, "By the way, Bill, remember to remind the goblin that you can't take more than one of the ten things."
"What if it's not enough?" Bill asked, "Listening to what you just said, it seems like there really isn't much in your vault."
"Then there's nothing we can do." Kyle shrugged, "I can only let him suffer. Knock a few rocks from the wall or the platform and take them away. Anyway, I can't fix it for him. Don't even think about a Nat." ”

Chapter 768 Cedric the Peacock
Before the Hogwarts Express departed, Connor and Fleur left the school in the Thestral carriage.
As the Thestral flew higher and higher, Connor poked her head out of the carriage and waved to Kyle. When passing by a tower, she saw Snape standing there.
But in just a blink of an eye, the other party disappeared again, as if he had never appeared before.
"What's wrong?" Fleur couldn't help but ask when she noticed that Kangna had been staring at the castle.
"Nothing." Kangna shook her head, wondering if she had seen it wrong just now.
The Yeqi's speed was very fast. In less than a minute, the carriage turned into a fuzzy black dot and disappeared.
On the field, Kyle put down his hand, turned around and asked, "How are you going to go back? Do you want to take the train? It should be too late to get there now."
"Although it's good to relive the feeling of school, I still choose to apparate." Bill shrugged and said, "The train is really too slow. Since graduation, I can't bear to waste half a day on the road. ”
"I'll wait for you at Grimmauld Place." He patted Kyle with a smile. "To celebrate your graduation, mom has prepared a sumptuous dinner. I can't wait."
After saying that, he strode towards the school gate.
Kyle hesitated.
To be honest, he also wanted to apparate back directly. It was convenient and simple, but when he thought that he would not have to come to school next year, Kyle felt that there was no need to rush...
Forget it, just relax.
After struggling for a moment, Kyle walked towards Hogsmeade Station and boarded the train in time at 8:59.
A minute later, all the carriage doors were closed, and with a loud whistle, the train slowly drove out of the station.
Because I arrived relatively late, the carriage was basically full of people.
Qiu sat with several Ravenclaw girls, exchanging some small items with each other.
Kyle didn't bother her and went straight to the spacious prefect carriage, found a seat by the window and sat down, staring at the scenery outside in a daze.
Because many familiar people were missing, the whole journey seemed very boring. It was not until noon that Kyle heard a familiar noise.
"Ron, you should know that the duties of a prefect also include maintaining order in the carriage, but how did you do that? You actually let those lower grade students run around in the carriage."
"I didn't let it go. They were just chasing the food trucks. You were too strict."
The familiar trio walked into the prefect's box, and Harry remained silent beside them.
He is the Quidditch captain and enjoys the treatment of a prefect, but he does not have the rights of a prefect, and no one will listen to him even if they want to.
But thinking about it from another perspective, this is quite comfortable, and you don't have to waste time competing with those thorny students.
"Oh, Kyle, you're here too."
As soon as he came in, Harry noticed Kyle sitting by the window, so the three of them sat over naturally.
"What are you doing here?" Harry said, "There are a lot of people outside looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
"Well, they are all seventh-grade students. I guess they want to exchange some souvenirs with you."
"Fortunately I didn't go out." Kyle said half-jokingly: "I don't have that many things on me to give away."
Harry laughed twice, and he could probably guess that Kyle was here to hide.
Just like when he first entered school, he was so popular, but he didn't like this feeling. Most of the time, he wanted to be alone...or with Hermione and Ron.
"Where's Connor?" Hermione looked around.
"She had other things to do and didn't take the train," Kyle said.
He didn't reveal that Connor went to France. It wasn't that he didn't trust Hermione. If there were people who would definitely not defect to Voldemort, Hermione, who had a close relationship with Harry, was definitely one of them. She even didn't even have access to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Been there.
Mainly because there was no need, and besides, they didn't really care about Kangna's whereabouts. They were just curious and asked casually.
Sure enough, after hearing what Kyle said, Hermione nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The three of them chatted for a while. Most of the time, Hermione was accusing Ron of not fulfilling his duties as a prefect, while Harry acted as a transparent person beside him.
Seemingly feeling a little embarrassed, he got up and left for a while. When he came back, he had a lot of snacks in his hand.
Harry piled them on the table.
"We just bought crucible cakes and chocolates." He looked at Kyle and said, "You can eat them too, this is all we have on the train."
Ron was already hungry and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chocolate frog and stuff it into his mouth.
Hermione also took some cauldron cakes.
Seeing that Kyle didn't move, Hermione thought he was embarrassed and simply handed over the cake in his hand.
"You're welcome, just go ahead and eat."
"No, you misunderstood." Kyle shook his head, "Actually, I brought lunch."
"Did you bring lunch?" Harry and Ron stopped what they were doing at the same time, thinking they heard wrong.
If they remembered correctly, this train departed from Hogwarts. Why did Kyle bring lunch...
But the next second, the two of them got the answer.
Kyle opened the box and skillfully took out several bulging brown paper bags.
Kyle opened the paper bag, and inside was a whole roasted chicken, fried pork chops, fragrant wheat cakes, baked potatoes, and even seasonings such as black pepper and orange jam, which filled up the other half of the table.
Harry suddenly felt that the chocolate in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"Did you... get this from the kitchen?"
"Yes." Kyle nodded, "After all, you just said that there is no serious lunch on the train, so I went to the kitchen before departure.
"You should know that our Hufflepuff common room is very close to the kitchen, so it's not difficult to get these."
"Yes, yes," said Harry.
He looked at the sumptuous lunch in front of Kyle, and then at the pile of snacks in front of him, and his throat shook unsatisfactorily.
"Let's eat some together." Kyle said, "The elves are so enthusiastic. I obviously asked for one portion, but they gave so much. One person must not be able to finish it all."
"Is that okay?" Harry said.
"of course can."
Kyle waved his wand, and the food that had gone cold became steaming hot again.
