The Trio's First Meeting Was Not Pleasant

After accepting the money, Kyle naturally helped Malfoy remove the Leg-Locker Curse, and also freed Crabbe and Goyle, who were tied up.

The two lackeys scrambled to Malfoy's side, staring at Kyle in terror, their faces trembling like waves.

It was clear that they desperately wanted to leave, but they barely managed to restrain their urge to escape because Malfoy was still there.

Malfoy frowned slightly, looking at his two henchmen.

That was a terrible performance; he was cowardly and stupid, not at all like Pure-blood.

Seemingly wanting to demonstrate to the two what true Pure-blood demeanor should be, Malfoy raised his head and said in a very calm voice:

"I apologize again, Kyle. See you at school."

His calm tone and composed expression revealed Malfoy's excellent upbringing.

Of course, this is on the premise that we ignore the patches of dust and stains on his body.

There was nothing that could be done about it; he had been struggling non-stop while he was lying on the ground, and he had wiped that area of the floor inside and out several times with his robe, leaving no corner untouched.

Even the train cleaners didn't clean as meticulously as he did.

Kyle also noticed a piece of Drooble's Best Blowing Gum stuck to the hem of his robe, wondering which ill-mannered student had carelessly spat it there.

However, considering the 150 Galleon, Kyle completely ignored these minor details, acting as if he hadn't seen anything, and calmly said, "See you at school, Draco. It's foreseeable that Slytherin will have a very outstanding new student this year."

Upon hearing Kyle's words, Malfoy's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile, as if he had been given a large bottle of Cheering Potion.

Although he had heard such words countless times before enrolling, Kyle was different. As the youngest member of the Hogwarts Special Award for Services to the School recipient, his praise was far superior to those insincere compliments.

However, out of modesty, Malfoy suppressed his excitement and did not show too much pride.

"Of course... I mean, I'm still a long way off."

Malfoy smiled and said, "You are the truly outstanding student. Not many people can receive Special Award for Services to the School in their first year, not even Headmaster Dumbledore."

"Don't say that, I was just lucky." Kyle smiled and prepared to return to his private room.

"Etc..."

At that moment, Malfoy suddenly called out to him.

"Is there anything else?"

"That map..." Malfoy thought for a moment and said, "May I order a copy?"

"Look at me, I almost forgot."

Kyle slapped his forehead and handed the stack of maps to Malfoy. "They're yours now."

No, that's not what I want.

Malfoy glanced at the maps with disdain and said, "I need the high-end stuff, the best of the best. Can I pre-order?"

"I have no reason to refuse."

Kyle's smile became even more genuine, "By the way, if you'd like to add a Galleon, you can also specify the pattern... for example, change it to your family crest or something, it's also woven from Unicorn Hair."

If you're willing to add five Galleon, you'll get a permanent map and a beautifully handcrafted border.

Malfoy slowly clenched his outstretched hand into a fist and said without hesitation, "I want them all."

Kyle smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up.

"Malfoy certainly has good taste."

When Draco Malfoy left, he still had an undisguised smile on his face; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he'd found two hundred Galleon.

A vicious brawl was turned into a mutually beneficial deal.

But the young wizards watching the spectacle didn't see anything wrong with it at all; at most, they just marveled at how rich the wizards were.

After all, for most young wizards, even ten Galleon is a considerable sum of money, enough for them to live comfortably for an entire school year.

As for twenty Galleon... they wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

"Merlin's beard."

At the door of a private room not far away, Ron craned his neck, his gaze somewhat dazed. "No wonder Fred and George suddenly became so rich."

A map for twenty Galleon? That's practically robbery!

Harry Potter, standing next to Ron, was also craning his neck to look outside, but his attention was different from Ron's.

"Who is that person?" Harry asked, somewhat curious.

"Who?" Ron asked, puzzled.

"The one who was talking to Malfoy."

"Oh, his name is Kyle," Ron said excitedly. "He enrolled last year and was the top student in his Special Award for Services to the School, which is quite an achievement, even more impressive Percy's Prefect."

My mother always hoped I could be like him, but that's too difficult. I dare say even Bill and Charlie aren't as good as him.

"Is that Kyle?" Harry's voice suddenly rose considerably.

"You know him too?" Ron asked.

Harry quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know him. I've only heard Hagrid mention the name. When he picked me up for Diagon Alley, he said that Kyle might become the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin."

"By the way, Ron, what is the Order of Merlin?"

"My God, the Order of Merlin?!"

Ron's eyes widened in disbelief. "How is this possible... No, I mean, I've never heard of this before."

"What is this?"

Seeing Ron's expression, Harry became even more curious.

He knew absolutely nothing about these strange awards in the Wizarding World and could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Before Ron could explain, a somewhat shrill voice suddenly came from the side.

"The Order of Merlin was founded in the Middle Ages by the greatest wizard Merlin. After several centuries of development, the Order of Merlin has become the largest and most prestigious wizarding organization in the Wizarding World."

Only wizards who have made contributions to the Wizarding World can receive the Order of Merlin, which is the highest honor in the Wizarding World.

Harry and Ron turned around at the same time and saw a little witch with thick brown hair.

She held her head high, her tone arrogant and disdainful of others.

"I bought a few extra reference books, <A History of Modern Magic> History of Magic <The Great Wizards of the Twentieth Century>, all of which mention this."

"Of course I know that." Ron looked a little unhappy; this was one of the few opportunities he could show off in front of Harry Potter.

Unexpectedly, it was snatched away by someone else.
