Chapter 17 Purchase on Credit

"So, why does Quidditch have to set up positions like beaters and goalkeepers? Isn't it enough to just have two seekers, and whoever finds the ball wins?"

"..."

Lu Yunkai didn't respond, but just watched Malfoy beside him raging in frustration.

The Slytherin lounge was dead silent.

In the Quidditch game that just ended, Slytherin led the way with the outstanding performance of the beaters and goalkeepers. However, Harry, who almost fell off the broom in the middle, suddenly had a divine power and caught the golden snitch first, ending the game. He used the golden snitch's score to lead Gryffindor to overtake and win.

There was also a little episode: Professor Snape's robes suddenly caught fire while watching the game.

For the Slytherins, this was a bad day.

"But that Harry Potter flies really fast." Slytherin's seeker Marcus Flint said with a little embarrassment.

To be honest, he was the culprit for the failure of this game.

"What flying fast! It's just relying on the Nimbus 2000! Humph!" The team's goalkeeper was also unhappy, "What kind of ability is that!"

"My father asked for me, and the Nimbus 2000 is still on limited sale for the time being, and it's not easy to buy." Flint became more and more aggrieved.

"How about I ask my father to think of a way to get one?" Malfoy was gnashing his teeth next to him.

He had made all preparations today, intending to taunt Harry, and by the way, to knock Lu Yunkai to make him realize the situation and stay away from those rubbish in Gryffindor, but he never expected it! Harry not only won, but even became a hero who turned defeat into victory...

This feeling is too disgusting!

"Does Mr. Malfoy have a connection?" Flint's eyes lit up, "The problem is..."

"Leave it to me!" Malfoy snorted, "I don't believe that Potter can be so arrogant all the time!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, Draco." Flint nodded to Malfoy seriously.

...

The Slytherins gathered in the lounge lost interest in chatting after the failure, and soon left one after another.

Only a few first-year boys stayed here.

Lu Yunkai wanted to leave, but seeing Malfoy's gnashing teeth, he knew that if he was the first to run away at this time, he would be hated by this petty young man for the rest of his life.

Seeing that there was no one around, Goyle, who had been silent, finally said, "Draco, didn't you ask Mrs. Malfoy to buy you a Nimbus 2000 before? She said she couldn't get it..."

"Just because my mother couldn't get it doesn't mean my father can't get it!" Malfoy snorted, "Now that I've said it, I don't believe he can watch me lose face in front of Harry Potter!"

"But aren't you afraid that Mr. Malfoy will be angry?" Goyle seemed to be still very worried.

"The face issue is still very important." Lu Yunkai interrupted, "Draco did nothing wrong, Mr. Malfoy should understand."

"Speaking of which, Yunkai, do you have any way to get a Nimbus 2000?" Blaise asked curiously.

"Yes! Yunkai! Don't you have many friends? Is there any way?" Malfoy also remembered this, "This thing must be easier to get than Phoenix Tears?"

"Well, I knew someone when I was in the Leaky Cauldron before, and I should be able to get it, but I guess I have to pay more..." Lu Yunkai thought about it and said seriously.

"Money is not a problem! How much can you get it for?" Malfoy said with surprise.

"I have to ask about this."

"Go ask now! I'll pay!" Malfoy looked generous.

"At least three or four thousand gold galleons! Do you really have so much cash?" Lu Yunkai tried.

"This!!" Malfoy reached out his hand from his neck, grabbed a pendant, and stuffed it into Lu Yunkai's hand, "My mother bought it for me! It cost seven thousand gold galleons."

"This won't do! If Mrs. Malfoy investigates, I will be in trouble." Lu Yunkai stuffed the pendant back into Malfoy's hand.

"Don't worry! My mother won't care about this!" Malfoy waved his hand, "Go!"

"...Okay."

Lu Yunkai sighed softly, took the pendant, and left the lounge.

On the way to the Owl Tower, Lu Yunkai was in a complicated mood.

Malfoy claimed that this pendant cost his mother 7,000 gold Galleons, but the pendant only had two weak one-time protection spells, which could only block two disasters at most, and then it would become a waste.

So the recycling price given by the system was only 50 gold Galleons...

It seems that the remaining 6,950 Galleons are purely the IQ tax paid by Malfoy's mother for love!

To be honest, Lu Yunkai really envied Malfoy for having such a mother who was willing to be a sucker for him.

Of course, compared to envy, what made Lu Yunkai more depressed was that a brooch that could only help a little girl sleep peacefully could be quoted by the system for 12,000, but this pendant that could obviously resolve two disasters was only worth 50?

Which one is more important, is it really a problem with his value judgment?

And because the pendant carries the mark of the Malfoy family, Lu Yunkai cannot keep it in his hands or resell it in the alley, and it is even more uneconomical to use such a thing to directly exchange a broom for Malfoy in the system.

Otherwise, why not sell it to Malfoy? Flint's family is also quite rich, right?

After thinking about it, Lu Yunkai decided to find another way to earn the money.

He directly used his balance to withdraw a handful of Nimbus 2000 and asked the owl to give it to Flint before going to bed at night. He then stayed on the owl tower until dinner time, and then went downstairs to the auditorium.

"Here, I'll give it back to you." Lu Yunkai threw the pendant to Malfoy, who was having dinner. "My friend said he only wants cash. It's not easy for him to handle, so he doesn't want it."

"I'll send a letter to my mother to ask for it." Malfoy didn't mind very much after hearing what Lu Yunkai said, "How much is it?"

"He heard that it was used by my classmate, and he said it was three thousand gold galleons, and there would be no increase in price. He would arrange the things first and send them over before noon tomorrow. He would also put the money in my account first, and I would pay him back later." Lu Yunkai said indifferently.

As if the money had nothing to do with him.

The two of them spoke not loudly, but they did not lower their voices intentionally, and other people in Slytherin who were dining in the auditorium at the same time also heard it.

This naturally included Flint, who was already very concerned about brooms, and he immediately came over.

"Yunkai, thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, I'm just sending a message." Lu Yunkai sat down with a smile, picked up a fried chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth.

"You are really awesome for being able to get such a popular Nimbus 2000 by sending a few letters." Flint gave Lu Yunkai a thumbs up, "And you actually get the goods first and pay later!"

"Well done!" Malfoy smiled and patted Lu Yunkai on the shoulder, "Then I will send a letter to my mother to ask for money."

"No! I just ask my father for it. It's not your use, so there's no need for you to pay for it!" Flint quickly shook his head, "I appreciate your kindness! Thank you!"

"Then I didn't help at all?" Malfoy was stunned.

"Who said that! If you hadn't promised to help me pay, how could I have dared to ask him about the price?" Lu Yunkai smiled calmly.

"That's true." Malfoy smiled.

"Lu Yunkai, I will remember your love!"

Flint nodded seriously to Lu Yunkai.

Of course, Flint was not the only one in Slytherin to remember this sentiment.

Although Lu Yunkai has no interest in Quidditch, it is the most popular sport among wizards after all.

That night, when Flint was excitedly parading around the Slytherin lounge with the broom he received, Lu Yunkai and Malfoy, who had actually done nothing, became the objects of gratitude from the excited Slytherin students.

Lu Yunkai suddenly became one of the most popular people in Slytherin. Even when he was reading in the lounge, seniors would greet him.

However, Lu Yunkai didn't even have time to enjoy this feeling of welcome for a few days. Just one weekend later, on Monday afternoon, he was called to the office by Professor Snape.

"I don't know where you met those friends, but because of your father's request, I must ask you not to associate with those strange people. Do you understand?"

Of course Lu Yunkai knew that Snape's words were just because of the adoptive father who pretended to be dead.

Before Lu Yunkai could admit his mistake, Snape gave him a box of potion raw materials as a reward for his excellent performance in potions class and encouraged him to practice more potion making.

According to the system's valuation, the total value is as high as more than four hundred gold galleons.

Moreover, the approval in his expression was much more sincere than the expression that had just admonished him.

Snape's attitude should still be very clear...

As expected, he is the dean who is known as the most united college and the most partial to the students in his own college!

Lu Yunkai, who walked out of Snape's office, felt for the first time that he might have been assigned to a good college!
