The Leaky Cauldron, Hermione is here.
Ted was stunned for a moment when he saw Hermione, "Hermione, what are you doing?"
Hermione touched her face and smiled shyly: "We went on a trip..."
It turned out that Hermione and her family were traveling to France to enjoy the beaches in mid-summer.
Good guy, you’re so tanned!
At this time, Neville also emerged from the fireplace, even with a piece of ashes on his nose.
"Neville, Hermione, you are here! Come with me~"
Ted took the two of them and ran to the basement, where the little puppy was rolling the slime like a ball all over the floor.
Use your nose to push it out, then quickly run forward to catch it, and then push it back.
Just tell yourself how smart you are!
Slime’s little mung bean eyes are about to turn into mosquito coils!
And the little milk cat is clumsily chasing the little mouse...
Add chicken brother, Ansu, and the occasional cabbage that comes out to breathe, and it's a chicken-like meal.
Ted explained: "I have to use them several times a day to clean them up and restore them quickly. You can take them away quickly!"
The little puppy is black and white, has medium-long hair, has erect ears, is very lively, and has lively eyes.
This little guy is so smart that he can even read people's faces and please the boss Ansu. Not as stupid as that little milk cat.
Neville fell in love with it at first sight and stood there giggling.
The little milk cat is different. It actually stands on two legs. Its front paws have signs of five fingers instead of cat claws, so it is very flexible and can grasp things.
There is also a golden bulge on the forehead that looks like a golden galleon.
Ted's original idea was to create a new creature like Elle or the Pokémon Meowth.
To this end, he even added two ocelot beards and a gold galleon to the casting materials~
How should I put it, it seems to have been successful.
At least in appearance, kittens look more like magical creatures than puppies.
Also, it is very greedy for money and likes shiny things.
Ted put a gold galleons in a bottle and it could hold it and chew it for a day! I can't wait to get into the bottle.
"This puppy is for Neville. I need you to give it a name." Ted said.
"And as you can see, it hasn't been weaned yet, so you need to take Katie back with you. The puppy will still be breastfed for at least two weeks."
Katie is the puppy's mother, the swallow-tailed dog.
Anyway, the Longbottom family's manor is large enough, just suitable for raising dogs.
Otherwise, there really is no place to put Ted, and I’m afraid he would have to give it to Hagrid.
Ted looked at Hermione again: "You don't have to worry about getting another female cat. Because the kitten's mother doesn't like it... You can also see that it looks different."
The mother was very worried about the strange appearance of the kitten, so after nursing for a week, she refused to nurse anymore.
Ted gave it to Mr. Giggs.
As for the little milk cat, Parker kept it for about a week.
It used psychic energy to heat the goat's milk in a bottle to feed the kitten, and then raised it until weaning.
Hermione felt sympathy when Ted said that the kitten's mother didn't like it.
But she didn't let Ted go: "So, what are you doing? Ted!"
Hermione was so smart that she naturally found clues from the different looks of the kittens.
Ted whispered: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell you. We will talk slowly in the future..."
I also learned a new ability, I will show it to you if I have the chance~
…
"Now, this is an anti-insect agent, which can effectively drive away hairy crabs. Prevent them from parasitizing in the hair..."
Ted handed two bottles of magic potion to the two of them.
Ted only noticed this thing after raising cats and dogs.
Hairy crabs are tiny parasites.
It resembles a crab in appearance, has long teeth, and is only one-twentieth of an inch long.
They are attracted by magic and can often be found in the fur of swallow-tailed dogs and the feathers of augurs.
They will destroy magic items such as wands and cauldrons, gnawing at the cores of wands, or feasting on potions left on cauldrons. In the absence of magic, hairy crabs destroy Muggle appliances from the inside out.
This is why Muggle electrical appliances suddenly malfunction - there is suspicion here!
Specialized chemicals sold on the market can easily deal with hairy crab infestations, but when the disaster is severe, staff from the Pest Consultation Office of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures will still need to handle it.
Those hairy crabs that swelled up after eating magic substances were difficult to deal with.
Ted tried feeding a hairy crab, which grew from a millimeter to the size of a fist!
Finally fed it to the slime~
That's the only good thing about slime, it's not picky.
…
Neville takes Katie and a puppy named Didi as they walk to the fireplace.
Hermione was going to take the car.
Ted explained his experiment as he sent her off.
After all, she had seen how she transformed Brother Chicken before in the Room of Requirement at school.
She also knew about the birth of Little Elf Mouse.
However, Hermione was still very worried and carefully persuaded Ted to be careful and to follow Professor Quirrell's example.
Of course Ted agreed.
Quirrell: How wronged I am! He is even more extreme than me!
Before getting into the car, Ted handed her a small box of strange snow-white paste.
"What is this?" Hermione asked.
"This is pearl paste!" Ted said proudly.
This thing is still an accidental product.
While going to Lupine to deliver medicine, Ted met one of Lupine's clients, the owner of a cultured pearl farm, while investigating his wife's infidelity.
Ted bought a lot of cultured pearls this way.
Pearl is also a very good casting material.
Although only that kind of magical animal clams can produce magic pearls, ordinary pearls still have many uses, and the dosage is not small.
And based on wizards' stereotyped understanding and isolation of Muggles, they don't seem to know that pearls can be cultivated artificially.
So Ted became a second-rate dealer.
In addition, he also used a large amount of inferior pearl powder to develop a new beauty potion - pearl cream.
This thing can whiten, remove scars, and shrink pores.
Several women who tried it said it was good.
Under normal circumstances, the skin metabolism cycle is 28 days, so significant results can be seen in one month.
After using it for a month, even Ron’s face feels fair and supple!
As for why Ron can still use it even though he didn't give it to him, it's because he stole Ginny's use!
As a result, the pearl cream was consumed too quickly and Ron's skin changed too much, making it impossible to hide it.
Now Professor McGonagall, Aunt Molly, Lady Olivia, Peggy, Ginny...several ladies Ted knows have used this thing.
The main reason why I didn't send it to Hermione is that her skin is already very good and fair, and she has no freckles.
A true young beautiful girl.
Now that I'm so tanned, I just need it.
"This product will be on the shelves in beauty salons next week. It's not cheap. The shareholders this time include the Longbottom family, the Black family, Mr. Giggs, and even Hammer Castle and Decamond Where are the shares..."
Ted is now building his own network of contacts, using interests as a bond to twist everyone together.
…
In late August, Ted went to Xianyu.com to search for information, mainly to see if there was any information on the materials for hatching his own eggs.
Still no news, there are still four materials missing, and they have not been found.
This kind of thing can only be done by touching, there is no other way.
In the Salted Fish House, many wizards were chatting and drinking.
In the past two days, wizards have been discussing a lot because of a notice from the Ministry of Magic - "Guidance on the Excessive Price of Dragon Products."
How should I put it? Most of the fire dragons are now farmed.
From dragon skin gloves to dragon blood, from dragon scales to dragon teeth... it can be said that the whole body of the fire dragon is full of treasures, and has been almost fully developed by wizards.
Even dragon dung is an excellent magical plant fertilizer!
Fire dragons are widely used in the magic world. They are indispensable among mid-to-high-end materials that can be supplied stably in large quantities.
However, just three weeks ago, prices for dragon products were rising rapidly.
So far, on average, a dragon has probably increased four to five times!
And the rally is good and shows no sign of stopping.
Many wizarding workshops have been affected. Now product price increases cannot keep up with the increase in raw materials, and business is losing money.
Because there was so much commotion, the Ministry of Magic had to come out and speak out, which was the "Guidelines on the Excessive Price of Dragon Products" a few days ago.
However, the Ministry of Magic guided Lonely and said that it was of no use, and the price was even rising.
In the past few days, the price of dragon products and the policies of the Ministry of Magic have been hot topics of discussion in the Salted Fish House, and there are a lot of complaints.
Someone said: "It is said that price increases are market rules and price decreases are illegal. What the hell!"
"Isn't the Ministry of Magic bullying honest wizards?"
"An honest wizard deserves to have his price increased and his leeks cut off?!"
"Hey, don't say that. I heard that the Ministry of Magic invited experts who have studied finance in the Muggle world. Although they apologized, they were determined not to lower the price of dragon products."
I don’t know who asked Ted: “What do you think is the source of the increasingly fierce conflicts in the magic world?”
Ted rolled his eyes: "Isn't it the conflict between everyone's growing IQ and the officials' declining morals? Then the biggest beneficiary of dragon products is not the Ministry of Magic?"
"That's right! All fire dragon breeding farms are the property of the Ministry of Magic of various countries! This is really a referee and an athlete at the same time!" Everyone shared the same hatred.
"But what can we do?"
I don’t know who said this: "The Ministry of Magic has released all means except price reduction, and I have provided all support except purchasing. Damn it, how can I die without dragon products?"
