Changing the trajectory of the Summoning Charm was much more difficult than Kyle had imagined. By the end of class, he could only manage to stop the quill pen about half a meter in front of him.

He continued practicing during the second period of the History of Magic class.

Professor Binns is a ghost with hundreds of years of teaching experience and has consistently held the title of Hogwarts' most popular professor.

Normally, he wouldn't interfere with what students did in class, unless someone was snoring too loudly and it was affecting his reading.

"In 1612, the Goblin used a small tavern in Hogsmeade Village as their headquarters, launching a rebellion against wizards and witches..."

As always, he read aloud the history of the Goblin Rebellion from the stage, exactly as described in the book.

In the last row, Kyle practiced the Summoning Charm repeatedly under the table, amidst the chorus of snores around him.

Kanna had intended to listen attentively to the lesson for a while, but her attention was quickly drawn to the quill pen that was constantly bouncing under the table.

She was right there during the Charms class, so she knew what Kyle was doing, and she even tried it for a while, though her progress was much slower Kyle's.

Perhaps she was just too bored and didn't want to sleep, so to keep herself occupied, Kanna, who had already given up, took out her wand and quill again after watching for a while.

After the History of Magic ended, the students, who had been fast asleep, woke up almost simultaneously, rubbing their eyes and noisily preparing to go to the Great Hall for lunch.

However, when Kyle reached the entrance of the Great Hall, he was stopped again.

However, this time it wasn't Hermione who stopped him, but a Slytherin girl Daphne Greengrass.

"Kyle, I'm here to buy badges."

After stopping Kyle, Daphne didn't even say hello and went straight to the point, "Tell me, how much?"

However, Kyle didn't seem to care.

She's very quick to spend money, and every time they launch a new product, she's always the first to come and buy the most expensive customized version.

However, she also brought a little girl with her this time. Kyle remembered her; she seemed to be a freshman this year.

"This is my sister." Daphne, noticing Kyle's gaze, introduced her somewhat impatiently, "I bought this badge for her."

The little girl was much more polite than her sister. Although she seemed a little afraid of strangers, she still greeted Kyle very seriously.

"Hello, I'm Astoria Greengrass, a first-year Slytherin student."

Hello, I am...

"Alright, stop this nonsense." Daphne interrupted them impatiently, then looked at Kyle and said, "Hurry up and get the badge out, the best one, don't try to fool me with that junk that Longbottom has."

Her personality is still as bad as ever.

"The badges were gone this morning."

Daphne frowned, and was about to ask when, when Kyle took an exquisite box out of his pocket.

Daphne recognized it immediately; the box was made of pear wood, and fresh pear wood at that, not some random withered branch.

Fresh sorbet wood has a softer color and a more pronounced luster.

There was a lot of rosewood furniture in her room, so she naturally recognized it.

"What is this?" Daphne asked, intrigued. "Didn't you say there weren't any left?"

"Dragon isn't just made of scales," Kyle laughed. "It will definitely be able to meet your requirements."

Kyle opened the box, revealing a five-inch-long, dagger-like dragon tooth and a silver-white coil inside.

"It comes from Hungarian Horntail; I think you should know about this Dragon."

Daphne let out a cold snort, said nothing, and simply shifted her gaze to the silvery-white coil.

"This is made of Unicorn Hair," Kyle explained. "In fact, Unicorn are also the nemesis of Dementor; these sacred creatures make them very uncomfortable."

"How much?" Daphne's eyes lit up.

"One hundred Galleon."

Kyle chuckled, "I added this coil later to make it easier to hang on a backpack or robe... If you don't need it, I can remove it for you; it'll only cost twenty Galleon then."

No, there's no need.

Daphne didn't hesitate at all, and directly stuffed the box into Astoria's hands, while handing a heavy cloth bag to Kyle.

"Here's one hundred Galleon, I'll take it."

Astoria, standing nearby, curiously opened the box and touched the silvery-white coil.

A warm current flowed subtly from my fingertips; it felt very comfortable.

She looked up again, staring at Kyle with some curiosity.

When she first heard "one hundred Galleon," she thought the man was a fraud, but now it seems she was mistaken.

Unicorn Hair is notoriously expensive, so 100 Galleon is not unreasonable.

For the same price, this is much better than the gemstone brooch she has at home; it's more practical and prettier.

My sister just called him, Kyle?

Astoria suddenly remembered that Draco had mentioned this person to her a month ago when the Malfoy came to visit.

Even the map he gave me yesterday seemed to have been bought from this person.

But then, Daphne's voice suddenly came through.

"Let's go, Astoria."

The little girl quickly snapped out of her daze and said to Kyle, "It was an honor to meet you, goodbye!"

After that, she was led into the Great Hall.

"Are they really sisters?" Kanna whispered from the side, "How come their personalities are so different?"

"It is strange, but that's normal," Kyle said nonchalantly. "Percy and Fred George are brothers, don't you think they look alike?"

"Forehead..."

Now that you put it that way, it suddenly makes sense.

After carefully putting away the hundred Galleon, Kyle also entered the Great Hall.

Kanna watched his actions and asked, "Isn't 100 Galleon a bit too expensive? Those items with Unicorn Hair only cost a few dozen Galleon before. Adding so much all of a galleon, aren't you worried she won't buy them?"

"Don't be afraid."

Kyle walked to the long table and found an empty seat.

"This time it comes with several complete tail hairs, so the price will definitely be higher. And even if we don't buy it, it's okay. We can just unravel the coils and use the Unicorn Hair for something else."

"What Unicorn Hair?" At that moment, Cedric walked over and sat down on Kyle's other side.

But he seemed to be asking casually, not expecting an answer. As soon as he sat down, he asked mysteriously, "By the way, when are you going to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"Tomorrow morning." Kanna glanced at the timetable and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You all need to look forward to it! This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts is completely different from the previous two years; it's truly amazing!"

Cedric poured himself some Pumpkin Juice, looking somewhat excited. "After all this time, Headmaster Dumbledore has finally found a reliable professor!"
