After coming out of Ollivander's wand shop, Luke and Harry also went their separate ways. After all, Harry and the others were nearing the end of their shopping, and the birthday gift Hagrid had prepared for him was the last dispensable item. pet.
“Where do you want to go next?”
Professor McGonagall lowered her head and asked Luke.
Luke was silent for a moment, and then said: "I definitely don't need to buy things like crucibles. After all, I believe that the ones left at home are definitely the best."
Professor McGonagall did not object. If other students had such high-quality experimental equipment at home, they would definitely not bring it to school to cause trouble to their children. After all, the value of this thing itself is definitely expensive. What's more, those in Luke's house can be called cultural relics.
Professor McGonagall even felt that if Luke gave Professor Snape a few cauldrons or dragonhide gloves from his treasure house, he could get a heartfelt smile from him. Although he knew that Luke did not intend to use the treasure trove, the experimental supplies in his own wooden house were enough for him.
"Professor, can I keep snakes in the academy?"
Luke asked suddenly and abruptly.
Professor McGonagall was stunned by his question, but looking at Luke, he really didn't mean to joke, so he answered seriously: "Theoretically, it's not possible, but if you want to raise non-venomous snakes, I can make an exception for you."
This little thing is nothing to Professor McGonagall. After all, the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest are much more dangerous than ordinary snakes. But poisonous snakes still pose a certain threat to young wizards, so poisonous snakes are absolutely not allowed.
Professor McGonagall looked at Luke with a slightly regretful look.
And as expected, Luke also showed a look of regret. He didn't have many non-venomous snakes on hand. As for using these ordinary snakes as spies, there is no point in using your own snakes. There are a lot of snakes outside Hogwarts Castle and even inside the castle, not to mention there are very convenient spells such as the Oolong Escape.
In fact, Luke didn't even think about keeping a snake as a pet in Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall can certainly guess why Luke would want to keep a snake. After all, everyone has heard about the talents of the Gaunt family. Parseltongue has become quite stigmatized under the influence of dark wizards, especially Voldemort.
But for truly rational wizards, Parseltongue is nothing more than a useful talent.
Of course, rational people will always be a minority in any group.
Luke thought for a moment, and then said to Professor McGonagall: "Then let's get a cat."
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but smile brightly after hearing Luke's choice. It's like Luke made the right choice.
"That's right Luke! Believe me, cats are definitely the most suitable pets you can choose among all the pets you can choose. They are docile, smart, cute, and smart!"
Professor McGonagall led the way and said with a smile in Luke's ear.
With a smile on Luke's lips, he guessed that Professor McGonagall would react like this. Smart people should make the right choice at the right time and in the right place.
Soon they arrived at the door of a relatively remote store. Luke looked up and saw the sign with the cat's paw print on it.
【Kate's cat】
Luke resisted the urge to complain. Then he followed Professor McGonagall into the store. The store is not big, but it is clean and warm. Luke couldn't help but nodded.
The environment of this store was really the only pet store he had ever seen that could compare to Ollivander's wand store in terms of cleanliness.
But what Luke saw next were not the cats playing on the ground or resting in open cages. But that long dark golden brown hair and a pair of big silver eyes.
It was a little girl sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, holding a magazine, and seemed to be reading to the cat. She seemed to be there, but like an ethereal phantom, or a spirit of nothingness.
Luke didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that when the bright yellow light shined on her long hair, it shone like a golden waterfall.
The kittens, who were supposed to be lively and active, lay quietly beside her, forming an arc, as if they really understood what this little girl said.
Luke was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses. Then he took a deep breath. He knew the name of this somewhat fairy-like little girl from the title of that magazine.
The name of the magazine was The Quibbler. A magazine that is 'quite' unrecognized in the wizarding world. As far as Luke knew, there was only one girl of her age who could take such a serious attitude towards a magazine.
Luna Lovegood.
A character who made Luke fall in love with him in just one movie in his previous life.
Luke thought he would see this magical girl at the opening ceremony next year, but he didn't expect that she would appear in front of him so suddenly today.
Luke calmed down quickly. He is in this world now, so he should try his best to understand everyone with his own eyes instead of the memory of his previous life.
Whether it's his memory or the movie from that year, it's just a story with the author's subjective understanding. It can be used as a reference, but it cannot be regarded as a golden rule.
However, Luke still frowned subconsciously. He always felt that Luna had an inexplicable attraction to him. This made Luke a little confused.
It's normal to have a natural affection for Luna, but where does this attraction come from?
Professor McGonagall looked at Luke with great interest. First he lost consciousness, then regained consciousness, and then relaxed as if he had realized something. Then he frowned again.
This made Professor McGonagall feel quite interesting, and I don't know if Luke knew that his thoughts were reflected on his face at this time.
Professor McGonagall looked at this little girl whom she had heard about but was not familiar with. Suddenly I became very interested in her.
I don’t know what kind of magic power this little girl has that can make Luke behave like this.
A middle-aged brown-haired woman holding a fat orange cat walked out of the door at the back of the store. As soon as she came out, she saw Professor McGonagall with a smile, and the little boy with a frown, who looked a bit mature and handsome.
But she obviously didn't see the weird atmosphere, so the first time she saw her old friend, she shouted in a very happy tone:
"Oh! Minerva! When did you come? Why didn't you call me!"
