Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

73. Chapter 73 Crookshanks and Scabbers

聽聽聽聽The days passed, and the last day of the summer vacation came.

聽聽聽聽Early in the morning, Ivan and Harry had just gone downstairs and saw the entire Weasley family coming out of the fireplace. It was as if they had just returned from Egypt. They were dressed as a mixture of normal wizard robe and traditional Egyptian costumes. Incredibly strange.

聽聽聽聽Mrs. Weasley hugged two people, Mr. Weasley went to the bar to book a few rooms, and they had to spend the night at Leaky Cauldron.

聽聽聽聽After a few minutes, Old Tom brought the breakfast over.

聽聽聽聽Everyone had a good breakfast. Percy glared at Ivan and Harry to show off his Head Boy badge and shook hands with the two people. It seemed like they were introduced to the mayor.

聽聽聽聽Fred and George didn't let him talk for too long. They imitated Percy's gesture and shook hands with two people, making them laugh.

聽聽聽聽Mrs. Weasley slammed this behavior and saw that she was proud of Percy.

聽聽聽聽The topic was re-transferred to Egypt, and the entire Weasley family told them about the journey.

聽聽聽聽Next, Ron showed Ivan and Harry his new wand: fourteen inches long, the wickerwood, and the essence of the unicorn tail. As for Ginny, the little girl, like before, blushes unconsciously when she sees Harry, but it is obviously much stronger than last semester, and at least she won't touch anything.

聽聽聽聽After everyone had finished eating, Hermione and her parents also rushed to Leaky Cauldron.

聽聽聽聽Hermione wore a sky-blue dress with a pale yellow toque hat on her head, and her skin was tanned into a healthy wheat color. The elegance was a bit playful and seemed to be full of sunshine. She was happy with everyone. greet.

聽聽聽聽Several people talked for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Granger needs to leave early because there is still something to do, they call Hermione to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley took care of it and left everything she wanted to use at Hogwarts. She also lives in Leaky Cauldron tonight.

聽聽聽聽By the time they separated, Harry and Ron began to talk about his inflating his aunt; Hermione took a thick piece of parchment and stuffed it to Ivan, an article she had written in conjunction with what France had seen.

聽聽聽聽鈥淚 heard the whole story from my dad, and your Aunt Marge floated on the ceiling for two hours.鈥漅on laughed a lot, and he thought it would be cool to blow up his aunt.

聽聽聽聽"There is nothing funny about this, Ron."Hermione said sharply, "I am really surprised to say that I have not fired Harry."

聽聽聽聽"I am the same, you don't know me and…"Harry glanced at Ivan and remembered that he was going to keep secrets of what he could become a cat. "In short, I forgot about the expulsion. I thought I was going to be caught." Ron, Mr. Weasley doesn't know why Fudge let me go, does he know? 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽"Maybe because it is for your sake, isn't it?"Ron shrugged his shoulders and still giggled. "The famous Harry Potter, if I inflated my aunt, the Ministry of Magic will definitely not let me go." Listen, they must first dig me out, my mom will kill me. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽"I think Mrs. Weasley is completely correct. You two are a bit too smug. You should learn from Ivan, he won't…"

聽聽聽聽"I already know it wrong, Hermione! I just lost control of the moment. 鈥漇eeing that Hermione was a little angry, Harry hurriedly shifted the subject. "Where are we going next?"

聽聽聽聽"I think we should go to the pet store first."Hermione looked at her wallet and said, "My birthday is in September, my mom and my dad gave me some money, let me buy myself a birthday present, I want an owl."

聽聽聽聽"That's just right, I want to send Scabbers to check it out. I don't think Egypt is suitable for it."Ron pulled the Scabbers out of his pocket.

聽聽聽聽Ivan's eyes moved from the parchment in his hand to the little mouse. The Scabbers looked thinner than before, and its beard was pulled down significantly, and the fur was not bright before.

聽聽聽聽"Ron, let me see, your mouse is just lack of exercise."

聽聽聽聽Ivan's mouth is slightly upturned, and Peter Pettigrew must have been frightened by the jailbreak of Sirius Black.

聽聽聽聽MotionRon looked at Ivan with suspicion.

聽聽聽聽鈥淵es, I recommend Hermione to buy a cat so she can help you.鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽"You don't listen to him, Hermione!"Ron subconsciously put the little mouse in his pocket. "The class is already pitiful. Let's hurry to find a pet shop."

聽聽聽聽鈥淭here is a magical creature store over there!鈥滱fter more than two weeks of strolling, Harry is now familiar with Diagon Alley. "You can see if you can buy something for Scabbers there, and Hermione can buy owls or a cat there."

聽聽聽聽"You don't want to buy cats to scare Scabbers!"Ron didn't worry about it again.

聽聽聽聽Four people crossed the street and came to the shop called the magical creature garden.

聽聽聽聽There isn't much space in the store, and every inch of the wall is hung with cages. The little creatures in the cage are making a variety of calls, stinking and noisy.

聽聽聽聽"Hello, this is my mouse!"Ron stepped forward and said to the witch standing behind the counter, "Can you see what is going on?" It has been a little bit bad since I brought it back from Egypt. 鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽"Put it on the counter."The witch said, looking at the Scabbers while taking a pair of heavy black glasses from her pocket.

聽聽聽聽"Heng!"That witch took Scabbers up. "How old is this mouse?"

聽聽聽聽鈥淚 don鈥檛 know,鈥?Ron said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 very old. It turned out to be my brother鈥檚.鈥?/p>

聽聽聽聽"What is it capable of?"Witch carefully check the Scabbers.

聽聽聽聽"Oh ?"Ron didn't know what to answer. The reality is that Scabbers has never shown a bit of interest.

聽聽聽聽The witch's eyes turned from the shredded ear of the Scabbers to its front paws, where there was one toe and a groaning sound in her mouth.

聽聽聽聽"It has suffered a lot, this is a rat."

聽聽聽聽"When Percy gave it to me, it was this look."Ron defended himself.

聽聽聽聽Harry nodded. Since he knew Ron, this mouse is like this. In addition to sleeping, eating and sleeping, he did not show any abnormality.

聽聽聽聽"A normal house mouse or a rat like this, you don't expect it to live for more than three years."Witch pointed to the black mouse in the cage next to him. "Hey, if you want to find more durable animals, you might like one of them."

聽聽聽聽Ivan completely dismissed her statement, saying that Scabbers seemed to be really a rat. If he tells the other person that she has determined that the mouse that has survived for three years has been living in the Ron family for more than a decade, she will be scared to cry.

聽聽聽聽"Well, if you don't want to change it, try this potion."The witch continued, she took a small red bottle from under the counter.

聽聽聽聽How much?Ron's words haven't finished yet, they saw a huge ginger thing jumping from the top cage.

聽聽聽聽Several people were surprised to see this huge ginger creature in front of him, a ginger cat with thick, sparse hair. The cat looks a bit odd, its legs are a little curved, the face looks sullen, and a squashed look like it once rushed to the wall.

聽聽聽聽It jumped over Ron's head and rushed forward, screaming at Scabbers.

聽聽聽聽don鈥檛 Crookshanks, don't! 鈥漌itch exclaimed.

聽聽聽聽Scabbers slipped from her hand like a piece of soap, landed on the floor with her limbs, and then fled to the door.

聽聽聽聽"Scabbers!"Ron yelled and followed it to the store, and Harry followed.

聽聽聽聽When Scabbers disappeared, Crookshanks suddenly turned his head and looked at Ivan docilely. There was no fierce temper at the moment. Perhaps because his Animagus was also a cat, Crookshanks was very close to Ivan and even took the initiative. He licked his hand.

聽聽聽聽This surprised the witch behind the counter, and she had never seen Crookshanks approaching a stranger.

聽聽聽聽"It's a cute little guy, its fur is pretty, right, Ivan?"Hermione also squatted and touched Crookshanks.

聽聽聽聽The cat was still a little vigilant, but immediately accepted Hermione.

聽聽聽聽"The color is very bright, a bit like a big wool thread."Ivan looked at it and the cat was so ugly.

聽聽聽聽"I made a decision!"Hermione held Crookshanks in his arms and stood up.

聽聽聽聽Objectives 鈥?Decide what?Ivan looked at each other strangely, and there was a bad feeling in my heart.

聽聽聽聽"You are not letting me buy a cat, I decided to buy it!"Hermione pointed to Crookshanks.

聽聽聽聽"Buy this cat?! If you do this, Ron will kill me. 鈥滻van鈥檚 mouth was a bitter smile.
