Chapter 48: Chapter48:Kyle: What Is There To Reason With Women?(Edited)
When they returned to the castle, it was already evening.
Kyle carried his suitcase, following behind Dumbledore.
As they entered the castle, they heard Professor McGonagall's furious roar coming from a nearby corridor.
"George, Fred!"
"How dare you!"
"Using dungbombs in the corridors? Attacking Slytherin students?"
"And adding chili powder to the dungbombs?"
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it!"
"Do you know that because of you, seven students were sent to the infirmary?"
"Among them was one Ravenclaw student and two from Hufflepuff!"
...
"Professor McGonagall, we were just researching how young wizards can effectively defend themselves against ill-intentioned dark wizards when their magical power is insufficient!"
"This is a noble and great idea."
"Fred is right, Professor, the Ministry of Magic should recognize our efforts and give us the Order of Merlin."
...
"Present awards? The Order of Merlin?"
"Listen, I'm writing a letter to Mrs. Weasley right now, so she can see what her good sons have been up to at school!"
"Now, the two of you follow me, detention for three months, not a day less!"
Listening to Professor McGonagall's angry voice, Kyle couldn't help but cover his face.
The twins learned things quickly, indeed!
But...
What were they thinking?
Trying to reason with a woman?
...
"Are all Hogwarts students so immature?" Cassandra also looked surprised.
"Adding chili powder to dungbombs?"
"And wanting to apply for the Order of Merlin?"
"Of course not!" Kyle replied seriously. "I don't know what those two are thinking all the time."
"Just some boring pranks."
"But I think most Hogwarts students are like me, honest and kind, never up to mischief."
"Oh..." Cassandra nodded, but her eyes were full of suspicion.
Dumbledore, too, had a hint of familiarity in the twins' way of speaking.
But Dumbledore had a pile of things to deal with.
"Well, Miss Vore, let Kyle take you to the dormitory. I have some things to attend to."
"Kyle will give you your schedule and such."
"By the way, he's the Slytherin prefect for your year!"
"Yes, thank you for your help today, Professor Dumbledore!" Cassandra politely bowed.
"Oh, no need to be so formal."
"By the way, Kyle, let's continue with the study of the Patronus Charm tomorrow afternoon."
"I understand, Professor!"
...
The three parted ways.
With some time before dinner, Kyle took Cassandra to the Slytherin dormitory.
"The Slytherin dormitory is located underground, though it may seem damp."
"But from the common room, we can see the view of the Black Lake."
"And the Hogwarts dining hall is on the same level, with over a hundred house-elves."
"They're always especially welcoming to young wizards."
"If you're hungry at night, you can call me, and we'll go for a midnight snack together!"
Along the way, Kyle kept introducing the situation of the houses to Cassandra.
It was not easy to convince her to become a free labor.
But it must be protected!
"Uh, I got it!" Cassandra felt Kyle's concern and nodded slightly, showing a somewhat indifferent attitude.

...
"How's the atmosphere in the houses?"
"And the level of students?"
To be honest, she was still a little nervous.
Adults from wizarding families wouldn't tell children too much about what happened in the houses.
They preferred their children to explore independently.
So for Hogwarts, a place where she would spend seven years, Cassandra didn't know much.
"The atmosphere in the houses?" Kyle was slightly stunned.
"They seem quite united, but as for the students' level, they should be a bit stronger than students from the other three houses."
"After all, most of them come from pure-blood families?"
"What about you? Dumbledore said you're the Slytherin prefect for your year?" Cassandra asked the question she was most curious about, looking at Kyle with a smile that was not quite a smile.
She felt Kyle is now completely bewildering.
Couldn't help but want someone to understand.
"Of course, as everyone knows, I'm the kindest and most honest Hogwarts student."
"Originally, I didn't want to be the prefect, but everyone insisted, and I couldn't refuse."
"In Eastern terms, this might be called 'using virtue to influence people'?"
"It means to conquer others with moral qualities," Kyle shrugged.
As they spoke, the two arrived at a wall.
Unlike the Fat Lady portrait at the entrance to Gryffindor's common room, the entrance to Slytherin's is a stone wall.
"Pure-blood supremacy!"
Kyle spoke the password to the stone wall.
"You must remember this password. It changes every week, and the new password will be posted on the notice board in the common room a day in advance."
"But if you ignore or forget it, kind Kyle is willing to serve beauties like you at any time!"
"Humph!" Cassandra snorted lightly.

[System prompt: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Golden Treasure Chest!]
...
Indeed!
Listening to the system prompts.
After verification, Kyle finally found the right way to earn treasure chests from Cassandra.
But just to be safe, he needed to test again.
"Of course, it's not free. Each service requires ten Galleons from you, but the price is fair and honest, with no deceit towards children or the elderly!"
Cassandra: "???"
[System prompt: Detected angry emotions!]
[System prompt: Drawing a treasure chest for the host!]
[System prompt: Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Silver Treasure Chest!]
...
OK!
Verification complete, praising Cassandra would earn a Golden Treasure Chest!
Then deliberately annoying her would only earn a Silver Treasure Chest!
So comparing the two, the conclusion is...
It's better to praise her first, then come up with a twist.
This way, you can maximize your profit!
