00:00Welcome to the Dream Novel channel before starting to listen to the fun in this clip.
00:12Don't forget to like and comment. So that the admin will have the encouragement to continue
00:18making clips. Let's go listen. Channel Dream Novel. Chapter 46, Billywig.
00:26The charm to deal with a billywig is very simple, but it requires your full concentration.
00:33You must be completely focused when reciting the charm, clear about your goal, and not careless
00:38in the slightest. You should know that billywigs fly very fast, and they won't give you a second
00:44chance to cast the charm. After carefully explaining the key points, Professor Oren continued,
00:50let's not practice with our wands just yet. Repeat after me, Relatio.
00:56Relatio, the young witches and wizards echoed in unison.
01:01Very good, said Professor Oren, clearly satisfied. Now, we'll test the effectiveness of your charm.
01:09He instructed the class to line up and take turns casting the charm on the billywig inside the cage.
01:15Kanna was the first in line, though she hadn't started there. Originally in the middle of the
01:20group, she had been nudged to the front by the enthusiastic griffinders surrounding her.
01:24Ever since Professor Oren had called out her name, the griffinders had been whispering,
01:30curious as to what made this small witch so special, how had she managed to win over someone
01:35like Snape. A brave girl, Professor Oren smiled warmly. I remember your name is Kanna, correct?
01:43Yes, Professor, she replied. With two previous experiences under her belt, Kanna felt more prepared
01:51than before. Though still nervous, she was now capable of holding a normal conversation, and
01:57instead of her instinct being to flee, her first thought was to answer the professor's question.
02:02Don't be afraid, it's just a simple spell, Professor Oren encouraged patiently.
02:07Remember what I told you, focus, concentrate. You can do it. Believe in yourself.
02:16Kanna took a deep breath, closed her eyes briefly, and thrust her wand forward with all her strength.
02:23Relatio, she shouted. There was a loud swish as the air seemed to part with the force of her spell.
02:30Professor Oren instinctively took a small step back, impressed. The power behind her casting was
02:37enough that, had anyone been close enough, no charm would have been necessary to deal with the billywig,
02:42it would have been taken out by sheer force. Fortunately, the result was what mattered.
02:48As the spell ended, the billywig in the cage collapsed to the ground.
02:53Not bad, Hufflepuff.
02:55One point, Professor Oren praised, already preparing a second cage.
03:00The day before, out of inexperience, he had only brought three billywigs to the Ravenclaw and
03:06Slytherin classes. He had assumed that would be enough, but he was wrong. Sometimes the first
03:13billywig hadn't even recovered before the third one had fallen. And each time, the students would
03:19stare at him expectantly, leading to some rather awkward moments. Today, however, he had come better
03:26prepared, bringing ten billywigs, enough to ensure there wouldn't be a repeat of yesterday's
03:31embarrassment.
03:32Next up, Santos, Professor Oren called.
03:36Santos stepped forward nervously, raised his wand, and attempted the charm.
03:42Relaxio.
03:43He muttered.
03:45Nothing happened.
03:47The billywig inside the cage continued to spin merrily in circles.
03:51Relax, don't be so tense, Professor Oren said gently, walking over to him.
03:58You need to pronounce the incantation clearly.
04:01The last sound was too soft.
04:04Try again.
04:05Santos nodded, took a deep breath, and raised his wand once more.
04:10Relaxio.
04:12This time, the spell worked.
04:15Very good.
04:17Next.
04:17Professor Oren said, switching out the cage once again.
04:22With two successful attempts in a row, the other students felt their confidence grow.
04:27They eagerly awaited their turn.
04:30However, their newfound confidence led some to become careless.
04:34As their turns came, a few completely forgot the instructions and, without even aiming at the
04:40cage, simply shouted the charm.
04:43The result?
04:43The billywig remained unharmed, but the cages fell apart instead.
04:49Professor Oren, now forced to be on high alert, had to constantly repair the cages, casting the
04:55mending charm over and over.
04:57But soon, he realized he had underestimated just how chaotic things could get.
05:03Near the back of the line, a Gryffindor student, unable to see past the taller students in front
05:08of him, muttered the charm under his breath, practicing in advance.
05:12He wanted to be ready to impress everyone when his turn came, but in his excitement, he
05:17forgot that he was still holding his wand.
05:20Over by the lectern, Professor Oren, in the middle of repairing yet another cage, suddenly
05:25felt his legs give way as he collapsed to the floor.
05:29If it had just been a simple fall, it wouldn't have been much of a problem.
05:32After all, Professor Oren was a strong adult wizard, and at worst, he would have grazed
05:38himself, an injury easily remedied with a quick-didney band-aid.
05:43The real issue, however, was that his mending charm had been interrupted.
05:49A billywig escaped from the broken cage, buzzing furiously toward the students in front of it.
05:54For a long time now, the billywig had harbored resentment.
05:58It had been made to feel weak and powerless since yesterday.
06:02Now, it was ready for revenge.
06:05Chaos ensued.
06:07Some of the young witches and wizards panicked and began running around the classroom, while
06:12others raised their wands, shouting desperately.
06:15Rilascio!
06:17Rilascio!
06:18A dozen charms flew through the air, not quite hitting the billywig, but effectively stopping
06:24it from advancing.
06:25The young wizards, now more excited than ever, acted as if they'd stumbled upon a thrilling
06:31new challenge.
06:32With their wands raised high, they prepared to target the billywig again, eager to repeat
06:37their near success.
06:39Stop right there!
06:41Professor Oren, still on the ground, suddenly shouted, his voice full of frustration.
06:47As the billywig buzzed over his head, he whipped out his wand and bellowed, Petrificus
06:52Totalus!
06:52The spell hit its mark, and the billywig stiffened in midair before tumbling to the floor.
06:59Professor Oren reached out just in time to catch it.
07:03With some effort, he placed the immobilized creature back into its cage and slowly stood
07:08up, wincing as he rubbed his aching back.
07:10No wonder they say being the defense against the dark arts professor at Hogwarts is a thankless
07:16task, he thought bitterly.
07:18It really is a pain in the ass.
07:21Gritting his teeth, Professor Oren turned to the class, his concern evident despite the
07:26obvious pain.
07:28Are you alright?
07:29Did anyone get stung?
07:30No, Professor, the students responded in unison, shaking their heads.
07:37That's good, he sighed in relief, using his wand to fix the damaged podium.
07:42Now, let's continue with the lesson.
07:45But, except for the one in first place, put your wands away.
07:48The students, though slightly disappointed, followed his command without protest.
07:55Having witnessed the professor's anger moments before, none of them dared to test his patience
08:00again.
08:01The last thing anyone wanted was for that petrification spell to be directed at them.
08:06With that understanding in place, the lesson progressed much more smoothly.
08:11Almost everyone succeeded on their next try, and the pace picked up significantly.
08:15However, Professor Oren didn't appear any more relaxed, in fact, he seemed even more
08:22on edge.
08:23When the class finally ended, Professor Oren left without assigning any homework, walking
08:28out of the classroom as fast as he could, not even sparing a backward glance.
08:33The lesson had utterly drained him, and he wasn't keen on staying a moment longer than
08:37necessary.
08:39Once back in his office, Oren closed the curtains and sank into his chair with a sigh of relief.
08:45He took a well-deserved sip of his black tea, savoring the peace at last.
08:50Finally, he thought, it's over.
08:54There had been a few close calls, but nothing catastrophic had happened, and all ten billywigs
08:59were, wait.
09:01Oren's eyes widened.
09:03Something's not right.
09:05He quickly set down his teacup and counted the cages on his desk.
09:10Nine.
09:11He counted again, twice.
09:14Still nine.
09:16There's one missing.
09:18His eyes darted to one of the cages, which had a fist-sized hole in its side.
09:23By Merlin's beard.
09:25Oren muttered in disbelief.
09:27Panic rising, he hurried back to the defense against the dark arts classroom, frantically
09:32searching for the missing billywig.
09:34But there was no sign of it.
09:37It must have been hit by one of those overexcited student spells, he realized grimly.
09:42His gaze shifted to the open window at the far end of the room.
09:47Oren groaned, rubbing his temples.
09:50Fifty galleons, gone.
09:53Channel Dream Novel
09:54Chapter 47, Physical and Mental Health Issues of Teenage Wizards
09:59What happened in the defense against the dark arts class spread like wildfire, but to everyone's
10:05surprise, it didn't stir much interest.
10:08Normally, a freshman injuring a professor would be the talk of the school for days.
10:13For instance, people were still gossiping about the mishap during the first day of charms
10:18class.
10:19But when it came to defense against the dark arts?
10:22Not so much.
10:24To put it in perspective, their previous professor had been a dark wizard with powers so well
10:29concealed that he was only discovered and taken away by Aurors during a lesson.
10:34The professor before that was obsessed with potions, constantly experimenting with bizarre
10:39concoctions.
10:40In one infamous class, he presented his latest creation, the All-Knowing Potion, boasting
10:46that it could rival the Love Potion and solve all problems with just one sip.
10:50And then, there was no, then.
10:54He drank it in front of everyone, and he's still lying in St. Mungo's Hospital.
10:59Compared to those incidents, Professor Oren's little mishap barely seemed worth mentioning.
11:04And so, the first weekend at Hogwarts arrived quietly.
11:09Kyle, having enjoyed a lazy morning, slept until nearly nine o'clock, only to be awakened
11:14by Cedric pounding on his door.
11:17What do you want to wake me up so early for?
11:19Kyle groaned after washing up and flopping onto a sofa in the common room, stretching
11:24comfortably.
11:26Early.
11:27Cedric raised an eyebrow in disbelief, handing him a warm pie fresh from the kitchen.
11:33Lunch will be served soon.
11:36Kyle took a bite of the pie, savoring the taste of beef, potatoes, and onions.
11:40It was delicious.
11:43While Kyle ate, Cedric continued,
11:46The Quidditch tryout start today, and I'm heading over to tryout.
11:50What about you?
11:52Want to come along?
11:53We can totally win the Quidditch cup this year.
11:57I'll pass, Kyle replied, shaking his head.
12:00First year students aren't allowed on the school team.
12:04It's a rule.
12:06Kyle had abandoned the idea of joining the Quidditch team after flying class the previous
12:11day.
12:12Since his mother Diana had forbidden him from buying a broom during his first year, he'd
12:16be stuck using one of the school's ancient brooms, and that just didn't sit well with
12:21him.
12:22The school brooms were terribly outdated, lacking even the most essential functions.
12:26For example, the crucial lifting charm, which was engraved on broom handles after the 1930
12:32Quidditch World Cup final, a match that lasted seven days.
12:37Following that ordeal, 11 players were forced into early retirement for the same reason.
12:43The addition of the lifting charm became a necessity after that, but the school's brooms
12:47clearly predated 1930.
12:50Riding those old brooms occasionally was fine, but relying on them long term.
12:54That could seriously affect the physical and mental well-being of young wizards.
13:00Kyle simply couldn't accept that.
13:03As for Cedric.
13:05Kyle patted Cedric on the shoulder and said seriously, if you make the team, I suggest
13:10you save up for a new broom.
13:13Cedric nodded.
13:15Yeah, the school brooms are way too slow.
13:18But if I make the team, my dad could probably get me a clean sweep.
13:21That should work, Kyle agreed.
13:25The clean sweep 7 was about a decade old, but it had all the necessary features and was
13:30still a solid choice for the school team.
13:33Oh, by the way, Cedric added, pulling out two maps, I've finished the Gryffindor and
13:38Slytherin maps.
13:40What's our next step?
13:42Should we advertise ourselves, or look for partners?
13:44Let's find partners, Kyle said after thinking for a moment.
13:50If we advertise ourselves, it'll take too long and won't be efficient.
13:55That's what I was thinking, Cedric nodded.
13:58We could ask the Weasley twins from Gryffindor for help.
14:02They'd probably be up for it.
14:04But what about Slytherin?
14:06Do you know anyone there?
14:08Kyle shook his head.
14:09Coincidentally, Slytherin was the house he knew the least about, and he'd had very few
14:15interactions with any of its students.
14:18That's a problem, Cedric sighed.
14:21I don't know anyone either.
14:23Having recently earned his first bit of gold, Cedric was in an excellent mood and didn't want
14:28to lose Slytherin as a potential market.
14:30He had even gone out of his way to make the Slytherin map extra special, using high-quality
14:35parchment and adding a gold border to appeal to their taste.
14:39Naturally, the price for this map would be a little higher, quality came at a cost, after
14:44all.
14:46The only issue now was how to sell them.
14:49If they relied solely on themselves, two Hufflepuffs, it was unlikely they'd make many
14:54sales in Slytherin.
14:56Worse yet, if Snape found out about their little business venture, he would likely confiscate
15:01the maps and deduct points from Hufflepuff.
15:04After thinking it over, they concluded they'd meet a middleman.
15:07They discussed the matter for a while but didn't come up with a solid solution.
15:13Cedric suggested asking the Weasley twins if they knew anyone in Slytherin.
15:18Kyle was skeptical, but since they didn't have any better ideas, it was worth a shot.
15:23When it was close to ten o'clock, the two left the Hufflepuff common room together.
15:28Cedric headed off to the Quidditch pitch for the tryouts, while Kyle made his way to the
15:33library to return a book.
15:35He had finished reading The Troubadour in the Wind the night before and was planning
15:39to borrow something new.
15:40As they parted near the Great Hall, Kyle smiled and said, Good luck with the Quidditch tryouts.
15:47Hope you make the team.
15:49Don't worry.
15:51Cedric replied with confidence, flashing a thumbs up.
15:55I've got this.
15:57And with that, they went their separate ways.
15:59In the library, Madame Pants carefully inspected the book Kyle returned, ensuring it was in
16:05pristine condition before handing him the new one he had requested.
16:09The usual rules apply.
16:12You know them, she said in her strict, no-nonsense tone.
16:16Of course, no damaging the books, Kyle replied with a chuckle.
16:21I know.
16:22Good, she responded, satisfied.
16:24After receiving the book, A Detailed Explanation of Magical Plants in Asia, Kyle decided not
16:31to head straight back to the dormitory.
16:34Instead, he found a quiet spot in the library to read.
16:38The book, focused on herbal medicine, was a detailed reference on various magical plants
16:43native to Asia.
16:45Kyle scanned the pages quickly, searching for something specific.
16:49Soon, he found what he was looking for, Chinese chomping cabbage, an extremely dangerous
16:54and aggressive plant, was first discovered.
16:58He pulled out a piece of parchment and, using the doubling charm, neatly copied down the relevant
17:03information.
17:05Satisfied with his notes, Kyle packed up his things and left the library.
17:10However, rather than returning the book immediately, Kyle decided to hold onto it for a little while
17:15longer.
17:17He figured it might come in handy again, especially if Professor Sprout introduced any new plant
17:22species in class.
17:23It would be a hassle to have to borrow the book again later.
17:28Channel Dream Novel
17:29Chapter 48, Mooncalf
17:32Cedric's performance at the Quidditch tryouts had been outstanding.
17:37He managed to catch the golden snitch in just five minutes, securing his position as the new
17:42seeker for Hufflepuff.
17:44After that, his entire afternoon was spent on the Quidditch pitch, as he joined his first training
17:49session with the team.
17:51Kyle only had a brief moment to catch up with him during lunch.
17:55Fred and George don't know anyone from Slytherin either, but they said they'd help think of
17:59something, Cedric said through a mouthful of steak.
18:03We're going to talk it over this afternoon.
18:06Want to come?
18:06I, Kyle began to reply, but before he could say anything, a commanding voice echoed from
18:13the far end of the Hufflepuff table.
18:15Hurry up, Cedric, we need to start training.
18:19Yes, Captain.
18:22Cedric called back.
18:23In a rush, Cedric struggled to swallow his mouthful of steak, then quickly gulped down
18:29a large glass of pumpkin juice.
18:32He turned to Kyle with a grin.
18:34I'll head off to train first.
18:37This year's Quidditch cup is definitely going to Hufflepuff.
18:41And with that, Cedric sprinted off toward the Quidditch pitch, clearly excited for the
18:45training session ahead.
18:47Hmph.
18:49Kyle shrugged, not feeling particularly envious.
18:52What's so special about being on the school team?
18:56He thought.
18:57Not only did they have to train on weekends, but they couldn't even enjoy a proper meal.
19:03Meanwhile, Kyle had plenty of time to savor his lunch in peace.
19:08Knocking on the table, Kyle ordered himself a glass of lemonade to cleanse his palate and
19:12enjoyed the rest of his meal at his own pace.
19:15Later that afternoon, Kyle left the castle, carrying the parchment he had copied from the
19:20library.
19:22Growing chomping cabbage turned out to be much more complicated than he had initially
19:26imagined.
19:27The plant was notoriously picky about its environment and climate, and only a few skilled herbology
19:33masters had ever managed to successfully transplant it outside its native habitat.
19:38Fortunately, the room of requirement could solve most of these issues.
19:42Kyle's only real challenge now was dealing with the fertilizer.
19:47According to a detailed explanation of magical plants in Asia, chomping cabbage took 50 days
19:53to germinate in the wild and required 2-3 years to reach maturity.
19:57Kyle didn't have that kind of patience, so his plan was to speed up the growth of the seeds.
20:02After leaving the castle, Kyle walked across the meadow and made his way to a small wooden cabin near the edge of the
20:09forbidden forest.
20:10The cabin looked weathered, its roof and walls a patchwork of different shades of brown,
20:15evidence of many repairs over the years.
20:17A crossbow and a pair of large rubber boots hung by the door.
20:23Kyle stepped up to the door and knocked.
20:25Who is it?
20:26Oh, silly Hagrid, stand back, you'll scare the others, came a familiar voice, followed by a low growl.
20:35The wooden door creaked open just a crack, revealing Hagrid's bearded face.
20:40Little wizard?
20:42What are you doing here?
20:44Hagrid asked with a stern expression.
20:47First-year students aren't allowed near the forbidden forest.
20:51Go on, back to the castle with you.
20:53He was about to close the door when Kyle quickly spoke up.
20:58Hagrid, it's me.
21:00Remember?
21:01We met before.
21:03Ha.
21:04Hagrid paused and squinted at Kyle, taking a closer look.
21:09As he studied the boy, his expression softened.
21:12The more he looked, the more familiar Kyle seemed to him.
21:16I remember.
21:18Hagrid suddenly exclaimed, clapping his hands together.
21:21You're that little troublemaker from the Chopper family.
21:26Thanks to you, Saban doesn't even recognize its own name anymore.
21:30That's because it doesn't like it, Hagrid, Kyle replied seriously.
21:35You really should ask owls for their opinion when naming them.
21:39Aye.
21:39Well, I can't argue with that, Hagrid admitted, looking a little flustered.
21:45Then, in a more hurried tone, he asked, so, what brings you here?
21:51Instead of answering directly, Kyle glanced around and asked, can we talk inside?
21:56No.
21:58Hagrid quickly replied, growing even more nervous as he leaned against the door.
22:02I mean, it's just that my place is a bit of a mess right now.
22:07And, well, Fong doesn't like strangers.
22:11I'm afraid he might scare you.
22:13Oh.
22:14Who's Fong?
22:16Kyle asked, intrigued.
22:19He's my hunting dog, Hagrid explained.
22:22Bigger than you are.
22:24Really tall, you know.
22:26Kyle raised his eyebrows, then shrugged.
22:29Okay, forget it.
22:32I just wanted to ask if there are any moon calves in the Forbidden Forest.
22:37Hearing the mention of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's expression shifted to one of alarm.
22:42First years are absolutely not allowed in the Forbidden Forest.
22:46It's dangerous in there, and if I catch you sneaking in, I'll have to tell Professor Sprout.
22:53Relax, Hagrid, Kyle said calmly.
22:56I'm not planning to go into the Forbidden Forest.
23:00That's why I came to ask you instead.
23:03Really?
23:04Hagrid still seemed skeptical.
23:07Of course.
23:08I just planted a couple of new magical plants and need some fertilizer for them, Kyle explained.
23:14Ah, that's why you're asking about moon calves, Hagrid said, visibly relaxing.
23:19He squeezed his large frame through the doorway and quickly shut the door behind him.
23:25Hagrid led Kyle over to his pumpkin patch, where he picked up a metal bucket from the corner.
23:31Here, help yourself, he said, offering the bucket full of moon calf droppings, silver, ping-pong ball-sized spheres.
23:38There were probably two or three hundred of them inside.
23:43Kyle, however, frowned as he inspected them.
23:46The color was off, they were too dark, indicating they were at least a month old.
23:51Do you have any fresh ones?
23:54Kyle asked.
23:56Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then said, I'm not sure, but we can check.
24:02Come with me.
24:02They walked along the edge of the Forbidden Forest for a short while before Hagrid stopped and told Kyle to wait while he ventured inside alone.
24:12Kyle agreed but silently memorized the route and surroundings, just in case.
24:17Since moon calves weren't particularly dangerous and didn't live deep in the forest, Hagrid returned within ten minutes, holding a small bag.
24:25Here you go, Hagrid said, handing Kyle the bag.
24:29Since moon calves usually stomp their droppings into the ground at sunrise, this is all I could gather.
24:36If you need more, you should send me an owl next time, and I'll collect them for you.
24:41Kyle waved the bag in his hands, it held about seven or eight fresh droppings.
24:46It wasn't much, but it would suffice.
24:50Thank you, Hagrid, Kyle said, smiling.
24:53Don't mention it, Hagrid replied, scratching his head a little sheepishly.
24:59Just, try not to go renaming any more owls.
25:02That was just an accident.
25:05When they arrived back at Hagrid's cabin, Kyle once again casually suggested they go inside, but Hagrid quickly blocked the door.
25:13There's really nothing to see in there, Kyle, Hagrid insisted, his eyes darting nervously.
25:19You'd best head back to the castle.
25:22Kyle glanced at him and nearly laughed.
25:24Hagrid's poor attempt at deception made it obvious something was going on inside the cabin.
25:31All right, I'll head back then, Kyle said, turning to leave.
25:35As he walked away, he called over his shoulder,
25:38By the way, Hagrid, just a friendly reminder, you really shouldn't keep a three-headed dog inside a house.

25:56Hagrid burst out, sounding agitated, as if someone had pressed the accelerator on his temper.
26:02Even the roots of his beard seemed to tremble.
26:05Pointing at Kyle, Hagrid jumped up and down in a fluster, exclaiming,
26:09How can you go around slandering someone's good name for no reason?
26:13Oh, Kyle said, as if a sudden realization dawned on him, so his name is Fluffy.
26:19That's not a bad name, actually.
26:22Hagrid's expression froze for a moment before he quickly denied it.
26:27I didn't.
26:28I didn't say anything.
26:30You must have heard wrong.
26:32He was clearly rattled and didn't dare admit the truth.
26:36Out of everyone at Hogwarts, Kyle was the last person Hagrid wanted to discover Fluffy's existence,
26:42even more so than Dumbledore.
26:44The reason was simple.
26:46Kyle's father, Chris, worked as the deputy director of the Magical Creatures Management and Control Department Beast Division.
26:53His office was in charge of regulating magical creatures of unknown origin, like Fluffy.
26:58If Kyle sent word home about the three-headed dog, Fluffy would certainly be confiscated,
27:05and Hagrid had no idea what would happen to him after that.
27:08Worse still, Hagrid himself might end up in Azkaban.
27:12The thought of Fluffy being taken away, possibly killed, combined with the terrifying prospect of Azkaban,
27:19made cold sweat break out on Hagrid's forehead.
27:22No, I absolutely can't admit it, he resolved, trying to remain calm.
27:27Hagrid put on what he thought was a stern, intimidating face, hoping to scare Kyle away.
27:34Given his towering height of over three meters, his burly frame alone could be quite menacing.
27:40Unfortunately, his darting eyes and the obvious sweat dripping from his brow undermined the effect.
27:46Kyle had to suppress a laugh.
27:48If it weren't for Hagrid's nerves, maybe I'd believe him, he thought.
27:54Alright, I must've heard wrong, and obviously, you don't have a three-headed dog, Kyle said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
28:02Let's just consider this a bit of trivia.
28:05Goodbye, Hagrid.
28:06Still, Kyle wasn't in a hurry.
28:36He could always meet Fluffy next year when the creature would be locked up on the fourth floor.
28:41And then, he could observe the beast as much as he liked, maybe even pull a hair or two for good measure.
28:48He could knit a sock with it, for all he cared.
28:51Leaving the edge of the Forbidden Forest behind, Kyle leisurely strolled across the grassy grounds toward the castle.
28:57As he neared the gate, he spotted a familiar figure darting by, crouching low among the bushes.
29:05Curious, Kyle wandered over to see who it was.
29:09Kanna?
29:10What are you doing here?
29:12Kyle asked, puzzled.
29:15Who?
29:16Kanna jumped at the sudden sound of Kyle's voice, clearly startled.
29:21It took her a few moments to compose herself.
29:24I am looking for something, she mumbled, glancing up briefly at Kyle before returning to her search through the bushes.
29:30Kyle observed her for a moment before taking out his wand.
29:35You won't find anything this way.
29:38Let me help you.
29:40Kanna, realizing what he was about to do, quickly shook her head.
29:44No, it's not going to work.
29:47I dropped a galleon.
29:49The Achio spell won't work on it.
29:52Kyle nodded in understanding.
29:55Magical currency, whether it was a galleon, sickle, or canute, was all imbued with an anti-theft charm, preventing them from being summoned by magic.
30:04It was a basic protective measure.
30:08With a sigh, Kyle put away his wand and knelt down to help her sift through the undergrowth.
30:13Kanna hesitated, clearly not wanting to inconvenience him, but after a moment of deliberation, she whispered,
30:20Don't mention it, Kyle replied casually.
30:24We're friends, after all.
30:27How much did you lose, anyway?
30:30Twenty, Kanna whispered quietly.
30:33Kyle paused, thinking he had misheard.
30:36How many?
30:37Twenty, Kanna repeated, her voice soft.
30:41Maybe even more.
30:43I've been losing galleons since the start of term, and these are the last of them.
30:47Kyle stared at her, at a loss for words.
30:51Twenty galleons.
30:53That was no small sum.
30:56If he had lost that much money, he would have been ready to tear the whole school apart looking for it.
31:01With a sigh, he lowered his head and continued combing through the bushes, muttering under his breath about the absurdity of losing so much money at once.
31:09The undergrowth in front of the castle was dense, and it took the two of them more than an hour to search through it.
31:17But the result was disappointing.
31:20Not only had they not found a galleon, they hadn't even come across a canute.
31:25Kyle stood up, rubbing his back, and asked,
31:27Are you sure it fell here?
31:29Aye.
31:31I don't know, Kanna said after a moment of hesitation.
31:35It was still here before herbology class yesterday, but this morning it was suddenly gone.
31:40Could it have fallen during flying lessons?
31:43Kyle mused for a moment before suggesting,
31:46Have you checked near the Quidditch pitch?
31:48I checked this morning, Kanna replied.
31:51There's nothing at the Quidditch pitch or in the castle.
31:54If it's not here, then the only place left is the greenhouse.
31:59The greenhouse.
32:01There's nothing there, Kyle said decisively.
32:04He was completely certain.
32:07No one else had been around, and as for the greenhouse.
32:11Kyle was 100% sure that there hadn't been a trace of anyone there either.
32:16The floor had been spotless.
32:19He had checked thoroughly at the time.
32:21How about we check the other side?
32:24Kyle suggested.
32:26Maybe we missed something earlier.
32:29No need, Kanna shook her head.
32:32She hadn't found any of the galleons she'd dropped in the past, and she figured it would be the same this time.
32:38In truth, how often did someone recover their galleons after dropping them?
32:43All right, Kyle didn't press the matter.
32:45In his mind, families like Kanna's, purebloods who could afford to wear such exquisite robes, probably never worried about running out of galleons.
32:54Twenty or thirty galleons seemed like nothing to someone like her.
32:59Brushing the dust from his robes, he asked casually, need me to lend you some until your owl arrives?
33:05Kanna's eyes flickered slightly, and after a brief pause, she said, it's fine.
33:10Galleons aren't really necessary at Hogwarts.
33:13I'll just head to Gringotts after the holidays.
33:18I just need the rat tonic in the meantime.
33:21Can I pay you after Christmas?
33:22Kanna paused mid-motion as he brushed off his robes, glanced at Kanna, and said, don't worry about it.
33:31You can pay me next year if you like.
33:34After making sure his robes were clean, the two of them began walking back toward the castle.
33:39On the way, Kanna asked curiously, by the way, where's your rat?
33:44I don't see you carrying it.
33:47Hockey?
33:48Kanna broke into a rare smile at the mention of her pet.
33:51It's playing with Delina's hamster in the dormitory.
33:55What's a field mouse doing playing with a hamster?
33:59Kyle said with a mocking sneer.
34:01I have a friend, Percy Weasley from Gryffindor, who also has a field mouse.
34:06I'll introduce them to each other later.
34:09By the way, is your Pocky male or a female?
34:13Kanna blushed slightly but whispered in response, female, she's female.
34:17Perfect, Kyle said, his eyes lighting up mischievously.
34:23Percy Scabbers is a male.
34:25How about we pair them up and have a litter of baby mice next year?
34:29Channel Dream Novel
34:30Chapter 50, I Have a Way
34:33Kyle was not someone who liked to waste time.
34:38Once he had an idea, he acted on it immediately.
34:42Without further ado, he told Kanna to head back to the dorms while he made his way straight to Gryffindor Tower.
34:49Unfortunately, when he arrived, Percy wasn't in the dormitory.
34:53After asking around, no one seemed to know where he had gone.
34:56With no leads, Kyle had no choice but to set the matter aside for the time being.
35:03It seemed Scabbers wouldn't be as lucky as he'd hoped.
35:06When Kyle returned to the Hufflepuff common room, he found Kanna curled up on a sofa in the corner, clutching her pet rat nervously.
35:15Across the room, perched on the windowsill, a large owl was staring at her menacingly, occasionally clicking its beak.
35:21Rattan, the owl, had never seen such a fat, shiny mouse before.
35:28To its hungry eyes, Pocky looked like the perfect snack, plump and gleaming.
35:33However, Rattan knew that this mouse belonged to the little witch and was definitely off-limits, so it was content to simply observe.
35:41The problem was that Kanna had no idea what the owl was thinking.
35:45When Kyle entered the room, he saw her pale and tense, gripping the hem of her shirt in sweaty hands.
35:52Oddly enough, she hadn't even been this nervous when she realized her galleons were missing earlier.
35:58It wasn't until Kyle distracted Rattan with a piece of murtlap jerky that Kanna finally began to regain some color.
36:05As the owl's attention shifted to the jerky, Kyle walked over and shrugged.
36:10I couldn't find Percy.
36:12He's not in Gryffindor Tower.
36:15Hmm, Kanna responded, not giving it much thought.
36:18In her eyes, all field mice were rather ugly, and she doubted Pocky would be interested in scabbers.
36:26After all, her pet spent most of its time playing with a hamster, so it didn't seem likely.
36:31Besides, Kyle had rushed off so quickly earlier that she hadn't had a chance to refuse his idea in the first place.
36:39As far as she was concerned, the current situation was ideal.
36:42She returned Pocky to her dormitory, and when she came back out, she seemed much more at ease.
36:50She even gave Rattan a defiant grin.
36:53The owl flapped its wings and flew out the window, throwing her a disdainful glance as if she were an idiot before it left.
36:59This, of course, made Kanna furious.
37:04Why are you mad at it?
37:06Kyle asked with a faint chuckle, shaking his head.
37:10He then pulled out ten galleons and set them on the table.
37:13I don't want it.
37:15Kanna immediately shook her head, rejecting the offer firmly.
37:20Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need it.
37:23But Christmas is still a long way off, Kyle pointed out, frowning slightly.
37:28Even if you don't need to worry about food, what about parchment and ink?
37:33Those cost galleons too, and you can't avoid buying them.
37:38Or did you bring enough with you when term started?
37:41At Hogwarts, parchment and ink were used up quickly.
37:45The supplies listed on the acceptance letter barely lasted a month,
37:49and students usually asked their prefects to bring more back from Hogsmeade.
37:53While not expensive, parchment still cost a few sickles, and no one was going to give it away for free.
38:00I, Kanna fell silent.
38:03Kyle's words had clearly reminded her that even at Hogwarts, money was necessary.
38:09However, despite the logic, she shook her head again and said,
38:12I'll figure it out.
38:14Kyle tried to reason with her, pointing out the practicalities,
38:17but Kanna remained surprisingly stubborn on the matter.
38:21She refused all his offers except the rat tonic,
38:25even declining the parchment he tried to give her.
38:28You're really nice to that rat, Kyle remarked, rubbing his forehead thoughtfully.
38:33Then, almost out of the blue, he asked,
38:36By the way, do you know any of the Slytherin first years?
38:39Kanna paused to think.
38:41I think so.
38:43A few years ago, I met Raoul and Yaxley at a banquet.
38:48They're in Slytherin, and their first years as well.
38:51But I don't know if they'd remember me,
38:53I haven't been to that kind of event in a long time.
38:57That's fine, just knowing who they are is enough, Kyle said, considering something.
39:02Kanna, do you want to make your own galleons?
39:06Make my own galleons?
39:08Kanna blinked, still processing what he'd said.
39:12Yes, earn them yourself, just like adults do, Kyle explained, tapping his finger on the table.
39:18I know a way you can do that here at Hogwarts.
39:22It might be a bit challenging, but the profit is high.
39:26Once you're done, you won't have to worry about parchment, ink, or anything else.
39:31You could even buy yourself plenty of snacks.
39:34What do you think?
39:35Want to give it a try?
39:38Kanna didn't reply immediately, but her interest was clearly piqued.
39:43She had considered helping other students with their homework in exchange for parchment and ink,
39:47but that felt wrong, like cheating, and she feared the professors might catch on.
39:53Kyle's offer presented an alternative, and she was tempted to hear more.
39:56Seeing her interest, Kyle continued, not wasting time.
40:02Do you remember the map Cedric gave you yesterday?
40:05Kanna nodded.
40:07Yes, I remember.
40:09After the flying lesson the previous day, Cedric, a second-year student, had handed out maps of Hogwarts.
40:16Kanna recalled it clearly.
40:19She had also heard that Ravenclaw had their own version of the maps, but those had to be bought.
40:25Well, that's what this is about, Kyle said, pulling out the gold-trimmed map Cedric had given him and placing it on the table.
40:31This is the Slytherin version.
40:35The only thing we're missing is someone to sell them.
40:38Do you want to try?
40:40Five galleons each, and we split the profit 50-50.
40:44Five galleons?
40:46Kanna looked at Kyle in shock, her expression mirroring the one she had just given Raton.
40:52How could these maps be worth five galleons?
40:55That's way too much, no one would buy them.
40:58Ravenclaw's only cost a few sickles, she whispered, still in disbelief.
41:04Those are just ordinary maps.
41:07This is a limited edition from the, golden triangle, Kyle said, raising an eyebrow.
41:13We used top-quality materials and craftsmanship.
41:17These were handmade, and it took three whole days to make just ten of them.
41:21Not a single one more.
41:24Think about it, out of the hundreds of students at Hogwarts,
41:27only ten people can own this exclusive map.
41:31It's a status symbol.
41:33Isn't that worth five galleons?
41:35Kanna felt a bit overwhelmed, but Kyle's explanation did make it seem like the maps were worth the steep price.
41:42After thinking for a moment, she asked, but it's already been three days since classes started.
41:48Will anyone still need these maps?
41:51Don't worry about that, Kyle replied confidently.
41:54Hogwarts isn't just about classrooms.
41:58There's the library, the hospital wing, the professor's offices.
42:02And don't forget, the staircases in the main building keep changing.
42:07Who knows where they'll be tomorrow?
42:09You might end up on a path you've never taken before.
42:14Standing around trying to figure it out wastes time, but walking around blindly can get you lost, and that means you'll be late.
42:21That's where these maps come in handy, especially since they show the patterns of how most of the stairs move.
42:28Kyle leaned back, his voice full of certainty.
42:31Trust me, someone will definitely buy it.
