I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 132 Hermione's New Pet
"Orlando, it would be a pity that you don't go to the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic." Harry heard the guests at the Leaky Cauldron talking about the Ministry of Magic these days, and knew that the Department of Legal Enforcement was the department that specialized in handling these judicial cases.

"If you want me to say, it's because you are Harry Potter," Ron shrugged, and said with a little self-mockery: "The famous savior, if I blow up my aunt, the Ministry of Magic will definitely not let it go." mine."

"Okay, stop teasing Harry, Ron tell me about you, is traveling in Egypt fun?" Orlando took a sip of butter beer, to be honest, he didn't like this kind of sweet beer very much.

As soon as Ron was mentioned, he became interested, and he started to talk happily, and the people in Orlando listened quietly and let out one or two exclamations from time to time.

After a while, Fred and George walked in with smiles. Behind them were Percy and Ron's youngest sister, Ginny. Ginny was held by Percy, and she glanced shyly at Harry. forehead.

Harry, who had been familiar with it for a long time, nodded kindly at her as a greeting, and Ginny lowered her head shyly, her face flushed.

Orlando ordered a few more bottles of butter beer to distribute to everyone. Now that they are outside the school and there are no parental restraints, and their teenage years are rebellious, so no one thinks there is anything wrong with drinking beer.

After a few people finished drinking the beers in their hands, Hermione suggested to go around Diagon Alley, because September was her birthday, and her parents gave her ten Galleons to buy her favorite presents.

So a group of people walked out in a mighty way. You must know that Orlando is the most expensive place now. Not only did Lockhart cheat 5000 Galleons last semester, but also received a reward of 2000 Galleons from the Ministry of Magic at the end of the semester. Although the money Hermione kept them in Gringotts' private account, but Orlando could use them if he wanted to.

"Hermione, what birthday gift do you want, I'll give it to you?" Orlando thought this was a good opportunity and asked hastily.

"How about an owl? You all have your own owls, but I don't have one." Hermione thought for a while and said, knowing that Orlando was not short of money, so she didn't refuse.

"I don't have one," said Ron sadly, taking his mouse, Scabbers, from his pocket. "I only have one, and Percy gave it to me when it was worn out."

Orlando, who was familiar with the original play, clearly knew that this was not an ordinary mouse, but an unregistered and illegal Agmanis.

"Ron, how about we make a deal? I'll give you an owl, how about you give me this mouse?" Orlando had an idea, he wanted to try to change the plot, and see if there was no such thing Rat, will Voldemort come back to life?

Ron hesitated for a moment, but still refused. It wasn't because he had such a deep relationship with the mouse, but because he subconsciously felt that Orlando did this to give him an owl, which made his poor self-esteem a little bit. Getting hurt.

"There's a magical creature shop over there," Harry said, pointing to the corner not far ahead. He has been in Diagon Alley for more than ten days, and now he is very familiar with the location of each shop, "Hermione You can see if there is an owl you like, Ron, and you can see if there is something for Scabbers there?"

So a group of people walked over mightily. This is a small shop selling magical animals. You must know that in this rough Diagon Alley, such a shop does not have [-] Galleons at all. Can't take it off.

The inside of the shop is not big, but it is fully used. There are cages hanging on every inch of the wall. The shop is smelly and noisy. All kinds of strange smells are mixed with the roars of small animals, which makes the customers who enter the shop There is a feeling of entering a vegetable market.

Hermione held her nose, she was a bit of a clean freak and almost fainted by the smoky smell, Orlando helped her stand outside the window, so that she could avoid smelling the pungent smell in the shop.

The Weasley twins didn't seem to be bothered by the smell at all, and they were happily crawling in front of a glass tank where a pair of purple toads with huge eyes sat, feasting on a dead blowfly.

The "cuckoo" sound made by the pair of purple toads is like thunder. Any mosquitoes and flies near them will be shocked to death after hearing this sound, and they will fall into the tank and become their food. This strange ability has aroused the twins brotherly interest.

On the other hand, Harry and Ron were attracted by a big tortoise with gemstones on its hard shell. They were about to feed the tortoise, but they were stopped by the witch, a shop assistant with quick eyes and hands. According to her This is a rare treasure hunter turtle with extraordinary talents.The only shortcoming is that it is not smart enough, and it will consider whoever feeds it the master.

In addition, although the shop is small, Linlin always has hundreds of different creatures, which makes people dazzled.

"Anyone you like?" Orlando didn't go shopping in the shop, but stayed by Hermione's side.

Hermione didn't speak, her eyes stared straight through the window to the corner of the wall, where there was a rusty iron cage, and inside the iron cage was a very large cat curled up into a ball, with green glass eyes He looked out of the door uninterestedly.

Hermione noticed that the cat's ginger fur was thick and fluffy, but its legs were clearly a little bent, and its face looked gruff and squashed, as if it had been thrown on purpose as a child. Like hitting a wall.

If ordinary people see this cat, they will definitely be disgusted by its appearance, and Hermione is no exception at first, but when she noticed that the cat's eyes showed yearning for freedom and despair of cat life, Kind she was touched.

"Orlando, let's buy it, shall we?"

"This cat?"

"Well, well, as long as you like it."

So Orlando found the clerk and bought the cat directly.

Whether it was because Orlando paid for it or for other reasons, this cat named "Crookshanks" by Hermione was super clingy to him.

"Orlando, this damn thing almost grabbed my scalp." Ron touched his head and said with lingering fear. He wanted to hug Crookshanks just now, but he almost didn't get hurt.

"Who told you to hold it without consent, you see that Harry is fine." Hermione hurriedly defended her cat.

At this time, Harry was feeding the cat with a small dried fish, which was the cat food that Orlando bought by the way when he bought a cat just now.After Crookshanks became familiar with his scent, Harry reached out to stroke its head.

"It's still my Scabbers who are obedient after all," Ron pouted and took out his own mouse and put it in front of him.

Crookshanks, who was eating dried fish, suddenly smelled the smell of rats, raised his head and pounced into Ron's arms. The drowsy Scabbers jumped out of Ron's arms as if he had been greatly frightened. Make a "squeak" sound.

"Crookshanks is back," Orlando, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked up Crookshanks, "Don't bully Banban, do you understand?"

Crookshanks, who was disturbed in his interest in catching mice, was like a feather duster with blown feathers. He was waving his paws and was about to turn around to take them out. When he turned around and saw Orlando, he immediately put his paws away, and "meowed" with his tail between his legs. Shouting, as if telling his grievances.

Hermione hurriedly took her cat from Orlando and apologized to Ron.At this time, Scabbers disappeared under the table, and Ron lay down on the ground angrily and whispered the mouse's name.

"Scattered," Orlando took out his wand, and chanted the "Flying Charm". The mouse hiding under the trash can in the corner flew into the air, was caught by Orlando and returned to Ron.

"What about my Scabbers?" said Ron, pointing to the bulge on his breast pocket. "He needs to rest and relax, how can he rest and relax with this cat around?"

"That reminds me, you forgot your rat tonic," said Hermione, shoving the little red bottle into Ron's hand. "Don't worry, Crookshanks will sleep in my dormitory and Scabbers in yours. So what's the problem? Poor Crookshanks, the witch said it's been locked up in the shop for a long, long time, never People want it."

Ron was still a little angry. He finally got a pet of his own. Although it was not very precious, after all, Banban only belonged to him. Now he is fine, and he is a little worried about being disturbed by Crookshanks like this. Banban was eaten as soon as Tian woke up.

"Or you should change to an owl," Harry suggested. He didn't want to see his good friend get upset because of a mouse. "Orlando has plenty of money, so don't save it for him."
