My Hogwarts Day

Chapter 191: The Upcoming Game Of Cat And Mouse

Britain, London, Diagon Alley.

After Richard and his group came to Diagon Alley, they saw that Diagon Alley was crowded with people.

As they walked, Ronald asked Harry.

"Just now, what did my father tell you?"

"Nothing, just that you'll be staying at the Leaky Cauldron tonight, and I'll go with you to the station tomorrow. 11

"Really? It's really great." Ronald was very excited to hear that he could live in the Leaky Cauldron.

"The bookstore is here, let's go buy books first." Passing by Lihen Bookstore, Hermione said.

"You guys go first, I already have the books for this semester, I'll go to Ollivander's wand shop first, by the way Richard, thank you." Ronald has always used George's old books, so there is no need to buy them.

"Then I'll go with Ronald. Richard, please buy my book for me." After saying that, Harry took out a handful of money from his wallet and stuffed it to Richard, then dragged Ronald away.

Richard and Hermione turned around and walked towards the bookstore. When they reached the door of the bookstore, they looked at the window of the bookstore and felt startled.

Gone are the spellbooks the size of floor tiles and embossed in gold that usually display in bookstore windows, replaced by a large iron cage containing about a hundred copies of The Monster Book of Monsters.

These books are closed together, and the "203" wrestling contest is going on furiously, biting and fighting aggressively, and the broken pages of the books are flying everywhere.

Richard pulled out the book list from his pocket and looked it up for the first time.

The Monster Book of Monsters is listed as a must-have book for the course Conservation of Magical Creatures.

The two walked into the bookstore, and the manager rushed to greet them.

"Hogwarts?" he asked unexpectedly. "Are you here to buy new books?"

"Yes." Hermione said. "I need to...."

Before Hermione could finish speaking, the manager of the bookstore spoke first impatiently.

"Get out of the way, please."

Then he put on a pair of thick gloves, picked up a thick, knotty cane, and walked to the iron cage that contained the "Monster Book of Monsters".

After opening the cage, the red cane kept hitting the books. Finally, one book was ordered. He quickly reached out to get it, but unexpectedly, the book bit the manager's hand, even though he was wearing gloves. , but a piercing pain immediately spread throughout the body.

I have to say that the manager is indeed a ruthless person, so he just took out the book he was biting at himself.

"I said you can't help me?"

Just as Hermione was about to go forward, she was stopped by Richard, "This is too dangerous, please fix it and leave it to us."

Hearing Richard's voice, the manager was stunned. He remembered this little wizard, and now he also knows this little wizard.

"It's you...."

"That's right, it's me."

"I think I can refund the money." The manager stubbornly took his hand out of the book's mouth, helped with the belt, and then looked at Richard in embarrassment.

"Oh? Why did you quit? I can't blame you. You made it very clear at the time. I blame myself for not being careful."

The more downplayed Richard was, the more uneasy the manager became, and now there was sweat oozing from his brow.

"No, it's my fault, how about this, I'll refund you the money, all the books you bought today are free, what do you think.

"How embarrassing is that, but if it's your strong request, I can barely accept it."

Hearing Richard's words, the manager couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and joked that this little wizard must have a bright future in the future, and it's really wrong to offend such a person for a fake book.

Soon the manager brought out all the books that Hermione and Richard needed, and of course Harry and Ronald's.

Then he refunded Richard the money he received for the broken book last time.

In the end, Richard asked for three more "Monster Books of Monsters", and he let the manager go.

After leaving the bookstore, Hermione asked immediately.

"What happened, what kind of broken book, why didn't he charge money anymore."

While putting all the books in the storage, Richard talked about his experience of being deceived in Lihen Bookstore.

"It's really abhorrent, to lie to you with a useless book, and to ask for 30 Galleons, that's 150 pounds, luckily I got it back." Hermione said indignantly.

"Okay, it's fine if you want to come back. Besides, don't you have a few more sets of books?" Seeing that Hermione was even more angry than himself, Richard quickly comforted him, and then changed the subject.

"By the way, are you going to buy a pet now?"

"Of course, let's go, I've wanted that cat for two years, and I'm going to buy it today."

With that said, Hermione took Richard's hand and walked quickly towards the Fantastic Beasts store.

Still in the original position, Adams was still busy at this time, and he heard his voice before he reached the door.

"Come on Jack, put these toads up there, don't you see it's empty?"

"Little wizard, take your hand off Puffy's tongue, it doesn't like it."

"Oh shit, don't touch fire crabs if you don't want to get your fingers cooked."

Hearing Adams' exasperated voice, Richard and Hermione also looked at each other in blank dismay.

"It seems that Mr. Adams is very busy now, why don't we come back later." Hermione said to Richard.

Richard was about to agree, but Mr. Adams had already seen it.

"Oh, my friend, Richard, you've finally remembered me."

Adams squeezed through the crowd, went outside the store, and gave Richard a warm hug.

"And you Hermione at four in the morning, it's great that you're all here."

Hermione gave Richard a hard look when she heard her strange nickname.

"Haha, hello Mr. Adams [How are King Zhou and Pugsley?"

"Of course, that's right, Richard has good news for you. Wednesday has received the admission letter from Hogwarts. She will also be a member of Hogwarts this year. By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. You got the medal, did you know that Pugsley was moved and cried when he saw the news of your award.

Hermione, who knew everything, almost couldn't hold back when she heard Pugsley crying. Is this the legendary despair?

"By the way, are you here?"

"Mr Adams, Hermione wants a pet, you know that."

"I know, of course I know, Crookshanks, right? No problem, just treat it as my award-winning gift to you, and you can't refuse."

"It was me, not Richard." Hermione explained hastily.

"It's all the same, it's all the same." Mr. Adams didn't listen to Hermione's explanation at all, and walked directly into the store, intending to hug the big ginger cat out.

"Wait, Mr. Adams, there is no need to report it, let's go in and have a look."

"Okay, come in quickly, and look at the place where you fought before..0°

Just as Richard and Hermione were walking towards the inside of the Fantastic Beasts store, Harry and Ronald walked over together.

"Richard, you're here too? We were just about to go to the bookstore to find you." Harry said curiously.

"Hermione's going to have a pet, so let's take a look and you guys come in and take a look?"

In this way, the four of them walked into the Fantastic Beasts store.

Once inside, there wasn't much room as before, with cages hanging from every inch of the wall.

The shop was very noisy, not only because of the little wizard, but also because of the small creatures in the cage making various noises.

Richard and Adams stood aside chatting casually, Hermione went to see the cats, and Harry and Ronald went straight to the counter.

After the wizard who bought the two-tailed salamander left, Ronald approached the counter, "This is my mouse." He said to the witch inside the counter.

"Ever since I brought it back from Egypt, it's been kind of bad."

"Put it on the counter," said the witch clerk, drawing a pair of heavy black spectacles from her pocket.

Ronald took Scabbers out of his inside pocket and placed them not far from his fellow rats.

The mice in the cage stopped playing the jumping game, and crowded to the edge of the cage one after another, trying to get a better look.

"How old is this mouse?"

"I don't know," Ronald said, "very old. It used to belong to my brother."

"What is it capable of?" the witch asked Ronald while examining Scabbers carefully.

To this, Ronald didn't know how to answer. If living a long time is considered capable, then Banban does exist, and the others are lackluster.

The witch's eyes turned from Scabbers' torn ear to its front paw, where a toe was missing, and the witch made a tsk-tsk sound. "It has suffered, the rat.

"You don't expect a common house or garden mouse like this to live more than three years," said the witch. "Well, if you're looking for a more durable animal, you might like one of these." , Of course, if you don’t want to replace it, you can try this potion.” As he spoke, he reached for a small red bottle 2.5 under the counter.

At this moment, a gigantic ginger-colored thing jumped down from the uppermost cage, jumped onto Ronald's head, and then charged forward, grunting and screaming at Scabbers.

"No! Crookshanks, no!" cried the witch, but Scabbers slipped from her hand like a bar of soap, dropped to the floor on all fours, and fled for the door.

"Scattered!" Ronald yelled, following it and galloping out of the shop, Harry following behind.

"Do you think I should buy Crookshanks again?" Hermione said to Richard hesitantly seeing this scene.

"Of course I have to buy it. Crookshanks is a good cat." Richard came to the witch and hugged Crookshanks with her worried expression.

"Look how nice it is, if you don't want it, I will." Richard said to Hermione while stroking Crookshanks' long fur.

"Of course I do, that's what I saw in the first place." Hermione reached out and snatched Crookshanks away.

It was strange to say that Crookshanks had always kept others away from him, but for some reason he was very docile in front of Richard and Hermione.

In the end, under Adams' strong request, Hermione bought Crookshanks without spending any money. Of course, she also bought a bottle of strength medicine for Ronald's Scabbers. .
