Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

During the second week of Easter vacation, Kyle still maintained the same habit as before, leaving the common room after breakfast every day and not returning until evening.

But he didn't go to the library or the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. Instead, he stayed in an abandoned classroom on the third floor of the castle all day.

And he wasn't the only one, there were also Fred and George from Gryffindor, Cho Chang from Ravenclaw, Connor and Cedric in the classroom.

There were six people in total, busy in this small classroom.

"Kyle, are you here to take a look at this pattern?" Qiu Zhang put down the knife in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I feel something is wrong."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if there are some minor flaws." Kyle said without raising his head: "No one can see it anyway, so that's what it means."

Kyle also held a knife in his left hand and a branch in his right hand.

——The branches of the mountain pear tree, those brought back from the Forbidden Forest.

Kyle first peeled off the bark and excess parts, and then skillfully carved irregular lines on it with the knife in his hand.

Soon, an oval wooden pendant was ready, with a cross pattern of a wand and a quill engraved on the surface of the pendant.

Next to him, there are many similar pendants, including oval, triangular and square pendants.

The other five people, like Kyle, turned directly from wizards to carpenters, tinkering with the branches.

As noon approached, Fred patted the sawdust on his body and looked at the "fruits" of his morning's labor. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Kyle, can these things we make really be sold?"

Hearing this, the others also raised their heads and looked at Kyle.

They were called here by Kyle two days ago, saying they were going to make a big deal.

Having had successful experience selling maps before, they were quite excited at first and had no suspicions. They were very cooperative and followed Kyle's arrangements.

Unexpectedly, Kyle actually led them to cut wood for two days, and they were not allowed to use magic, just hand-cutting.

This made a few people a little confused.

"it should be OK."

Kyle thought for a moment and said, "The sorbus tree amulet is quite popular in the magic world."

"Wait...are we making amulets?" George asked in disbelief.

The main reason is that they have no experience as carpenters before. Although the things they carve out are not ugly, they are not very good, and the shapes are all kinds of weird.

Even he would not dare to unconscionably say that such a crude thing is an amulet.

"What you and Fred made are just lumps of wood." Kyle said, "But it will be different after Connor and the others carve patterns on it."

Several people looked at each other and expressed doubts about Kyle's words.

Unless these patterns are special magical symbols, such as ancient runes, otherwise, even if a hundred are engraved on them, they will still be just lumps of wood.

"Speaking of this..." Cedric couldn't help but ask at this time: "What kind of pattern is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"That is a sign of passing the exam, and it can also be understood as meaning that you must pass every exam."

Kyle thought for a while and explained: "At the Wizarding Conference in 1790, the bill to establish the Wizarding Examination Authority was officially passed. In the same year, Hogwarts conducted the first N.E.W.T.s examination.

At that time, young wizards who passed the exam would receive a special letter from the Ministry of Magic. Printed on the envelope was the cross pattern of a quill and a wand.

new

Later, this pattern became a symbol of passing the exam. At that time, many students who were about to graduate would draw this pattern before the exam and carry it with them as a good omen.

However, after Professor Marchban became the head of the examination bureau, this pattern was removed and replaced with a very ordinary envelope. "

Fred and the others looked at Kyle dumbfounded and asked subconsciously: "In 1790, that was already two hundred years ago. How do you know these things?"

"Read a book."

Kyle shrugged and said calmly: "If you have read "Hogwarts: A School History", you won't be so surprised."

Read a book...that's okay.

Fred and George both turned their heads and gave Kyle a thumbs up.

The book "Hogwarts: A School History" is so big and thick that it can be used as a shield when you hold it in your arms. When you have nothing to do, you can flip through two pages to see what interests you, but after finishing it, you can't. It's so hard for them.

And let alone Fred and George, not even Cedric has finished it.

But that's not the point.

After such an explanation, they also understood what Kyle meant.

Although these things made of rosewood are not real amulets at all, it cannot be denied that they are really attractive.

Especially at this time.

Even Fred and George were a little tempted.

If someone had sold this thing before final exams last year, they might actually have paid for it.

"But Kyle, can't we use the copy spell?" Qiu Zhang asked doubtfully: "Just like the previous map, that would save trouble."

"Of course you can, but that's a different price."

Kyle shook his finger, "I plan to make three grades of products this time, high-end customization for ten galleons, pure handcrafting...that is, the two galleons we are making now, and finally a one-time batch product. , Wu Xi Ke.”

"Is it so cheap?" Qiu Zhang didn't understand.

You must know that a map costs ten Sickles. They are also replicas, but replicating sculptures like this is much more troublesome than maps.

Before Kyle could explain, Cedric next to him seemed to have thought of something, turned around and asked, "How much pocket money do you have now?"

"Pocket money?" Qiu Zhang thought for a while and said, "I spent a lot of money some time ago, and now I have about one galleons left..."

Suddenly, her voice stopped and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Understand."

Kyle said with a smile: "It's the end of the semester now, and most people don't have much money anymore. If the price is too high, they won't be able to afford it even if they want to.

And this time we are no longer targeting only freshmen in the first grade, but the entire school. The number is several times more than before, so Wuxi is enough, just treat it as making friends. "

Everyone automatically ignored Kyle's last words. If I remember correctly, he also said the same thing when he sold the map.

Wuxi makes friends, but what about the other two...

Fred and George lowered their heads without saying a word. The branches in their hands seemed to have turned into the shape of gold galleons, and what they had to do was to pull out these galleons.

"By the way..." At this moment, Kyle seemed to suddenly think of something and said, "It's not the ones made by the copying spell. Remember to engrave the year on the end."
