Hermione's birthday is September 19th, and school starts on September 1st, so she is destined to celebrate her birthday at school.
So the Grangers decided to let her buy herself a gift in advance.
Ted: "It turns out I didn't win the lottery!"
Speaking of winning the lottery, Ted also tried fortune telling!
No, not at all.
Not strong enough!
It is estimated that even if it is a small prize, it must be a level 5 prophecy.
But Mr. Weasley won a big prize - the 700 Galleons Grand Prize of the Daily Prophet!
It can be called a wave of fat!
But this time they didn't go traveling. Ron had said after the previous incident in the Land of Fire that their family had originally planned to travel to Egypt and visit Bill who worked there.
But something seemed to have happened there, Bill was working overtime, and said it was unsafe. They said there was something like a mummy, so they canceled the plan.
This time, their family should be able to save some money...right?
…
Ted went shopping with Hermione.
Originally, Hermione planned to buy a pet, but Ted gave her Meow Meow, so she gave up.
After walking around, there was nothing to buy.
Hermione thought about it and said, "Ron has Scabbers, and Neville and I have pets you gave us. How about I buy a pet for Jerry and Harry?"
Hermione was worried that some of her friends would be unhappy because they didn't have pets. After all, Ted gave them to Neville and Hermione.
So I wanted to make up for Ted.
Sometimes, her thoughts are still very delicate.
Ted: We had limited time at that time, so we modified these two Pokémon.
"Jerry, forget it. I asked him before and he said it's hard to support himself. He doesn't want pets."
"Okay then, let's pick a pet for Harley."
The two came to the pet store, and the smell of animals came as soon as they opened the door. Come at me, hit me in the nose!
"Hmm~" The two of them quickly cast the Bubble Curse on themselves.
Ted shouted: "John? John! Are you lazy again?"
When Ted worked in a pet store, he cleaned it fourteen or five times a day, and there was no smell at all.
John looked gray and gray, with a feather still stuck to his hair. "Oh, Ted, you're here?"
While he was talking, he also struggled to stuff a gem lizard that was also struggling into the cage. However, the gem lizard was also quite stubborn. It scratched the side of the cage with its claws and stared at him to fight.
"Relax and let go~" Ted cursed, and the lizard softened.
John quickly stuffed the lizard into the cage, "Oh my god! You don't know, the boss is crazy! He has recently acquired a large number of magical animals, and many of them are untrained and wild and untamed! I am going to be tortured crazy now." Got it!"
"Well, we're here to help lighten your load. We're giving our friend a pet, you know."
"Understood, you know better than me, you can make your own choice. I'm really too busy right now."
With that said, John plunged into the warehouse at the back and started gesticulating with all kinds of weird and screaming magical animals.
The pets displayed in front are all domesticated and relatively common pets.
There are mice, turtles, cats and dogs, and there are also more unusual ones, such as a cockroach as big as a fist!
A spider bigger than a fist!
Or a colorful little snake!
Ted even saw a macaw doing a giant slalom on the horizontal bar with the bar in its mouth. Was this thing smuggled from South America?
This pet shop owner is really a little crazy lately! Is this how to increase the variety? Are you in a hurry to go public and trade stocks?
Hermione was also spoiled for choice. She looked at this and that, not knowing what to look at.
This is simply like coming to a small zoo.
Ted was about to ask Hermione what category Harry liked.
Then they saw an orange-yellow mixed-race cat with a flat face, Nizi, walking lightly in front of the two of them.
"Meow meow meow~" it shouted at the two of them.
Eh! Ted suddenly had a flash of inspiration - Crookshanks?
In the original book, it was said that its face seemed to have been flattened by hitting a wall, but now I see that it is true!
Ted touched Hermione and said, "What do you think of this mixed-breed catnives?"
Hermione frowned slightly, a little embarrassed, "Doesn't she look... a little..."
She was embarrassed to say "ugly", after all, the cat was quite smart.
Ted said: "Yes, it looks a bit...clumsy, but we can't judge a cat by its appearance. As the saying goes, strange people must have visions! This cat came to us and recommended himself when we were choosing a pet for Harley. , this is fate, this is destiny!"
Finally Hermione was convinced by Ted.
Although this cat is a bit ugly, it is so ugly that it has its own unique beauty!
Maybe Harley would like it?
Ted called John to settle the bill, and Hermione bargained hard according to his instructions, from 7 Galleons to 4 Galleons.
"Oh no, the price has been reduced by almost half! We are a pet store, how can we reduce the price like this?" John looked embarrassed.
Ted whispered: "John, my friend. I know this cat has been in your store for a long time. If you miss us, you don't have to keep it for a long time!"
John looked at Ted, and then at Hermione, who looked certain that it was only 4 galleons: Was it your kid who tipped off? You bastard!
"Without further ado, I happen to have something good to give you. Let's go directly to Grimmauld Place..."
What Ted wants to give his friends is his "new invention"!
Okay, another Muggle imitation.
It’s an improved double-sided mirror!
In the magic world, there is a magic prop called a double-sided mirror, which can allow "video conversations" between two people at a distance.
However, this technology has gradually been lost.
In other words, a place like the magical world is vast and sparsely populated, and the pace of life is very slow. The need for communication is less pressing.
Now, Ted has made alchemical improvements on the original technology and increased its applicable range - from 50 kilometers to 500 kilometers! Direct coverage of the British Isles.
Moreover, the anti-interference and secret mark encryption functions have been enhanced.
This allows these two mirrors to be used in places with magical protection, and because of the personal uniqueness of the secret mark, others cannot use it.
The core principle of this thing is the transformation spell, which is probably something learned in fifth grade.
The principle is probably similar to the change coins used in the fifth and sixth grade DA gatherings in the original book. The numbers of other coins can be remotely changed by casting a change spell, thereby transmitting information.
It's just that Ted's is more complex and diverse, turning the information to be conveyed into pictures.
As for the Transfiguration Spell, NEWTs Transfiguration is about as good as it gets, and Hermione will be able to use it in fifth grade.
Of course, knowing it and being able to do it are two different things.
I also know the principle of nuclear fission, but now I’m almost ready to try uranium~
If you have the stock on hand, please contact me.
…
Arriving at 12 Grimmauld Place, Sirius was shocked - he knew this cat!
After all, this cat’s appearance is unique and impressive.
He immediately looked through old photos and found a family photo of Hallie from ten years ago, when Hallie was less than one year old.
There is this cat in the photo, but it's not a big one, but its face is already very distinctive. So he was recognized by Sirius at a glance.
"Lily wrote me a reply at that time, saying that you liked the toy broom I gave you very much, and you often poked the cat at home with the small broom... You also liked the flying broom very much at that time..."
Sirius had a complicated expression on his face. Although he was smiling, he was a little sad.
Back then, the Longbottoms were blocked by Voldemort, and the Potters were betrayed by Pettigrew and led into an encirclement to die in battle. It would have been great to pick up Harry when the war was in chaos.
As a result, no one cared about the cats, and they ended up in pet stores unable to sell them.
Now, it's back.
In the end, Harry decided to call him Crookshanks - the name given by Hermione.
Because no one knows what it was originally called.
Crookshanks, who was being held in his arms, rubbed Harley's face: Harley, you little girl, you used a toy broom to poke me when you were a child.
…
After sending Hermione home, Ted began to prepare for the evening.
That night, a magical battle took place in Knockturn Alley.
A dark wizard invaded the famous black shop Bojinbok. He first used magic to seal the door at the back and kept the shop owner in the room for six or seven minutes.
Then the crazy looting begins!
He didn't know what method he used, but he swept through those extremely dangerous black magic items.
And before leaving, he used a variant of the fire spell and set the antique store on fire.
He almost burned Bojinbok who was stuck in the room!
It is said that the loss was so great that after looking at the burning shop for a few times, Bojin Bock fainted.
After being rescued, a reward of 500 Galleons was offered for the murderer.
There are everyone in Knockturn Alley, and naturally there are "bounty hunters" as well.
But since he dares to take action against Bojinbok's shop, how can such a strong man be dealt with by 500 Galleons?
What kind of life am I willing to pay for a few hundred galleons?
Thanks to the book friend "I have been offline" for the 100-point reward!
Thank you~
