"Of course, Dear Mr. Dursley." The man called Jerros narrowed his eyes and replied, "Please wait here for a moment."
What Dudley wants is a cat, to be precise, a cat with magical creature blood.
Currently, there are two most famous feline magical creatures known in the wizarding world. One is a magical creature called Nekomata. It usually looks like an ordinary cat, but when it is excited, it will rapidly grow in size and possess It has strong destructive power, and its characteristic is that the end of its tail bifurcates into two.
The other is a magical creature called the cat leopard in the United States. However, the cat leopard is much more dangerous than the cat. The danger level is the same as the fire dragon and the basilisk at the 5X level. Its body shape and appearance are somewhat similar to an ordinary cougar or jaguar. , can walk upright and run faster than an arrow. It is said that the eyes have the power of hypnosis and legilimens.
The most important point is that if a cat or leopard is fatally attacked, it will split into two parts, and the two parts will continue to grow and become almost impossible to kill.
But what Jellos found for Dudley was obviously not the above two.
Again, for blatantly selling dangerous cats and panthers in England, he might not be prepared to sit in Azkaban.
Soon, Geralds walked in from the side door of the pet shop carrying a cradle and placed it in front of Dudley. There was a sleeping kitten lying inside.
Jellos began to introduce the kitten to Dudley.
"It has part of the blood of a cat and some unknown magical creatures. The most important thing is that it is quite smart. I think it should be your ideal pet."
It was a fluffy orange kitten, but the so-called orange cat refers to its size. It was obviously just a kitten but it had a round belly. In fact, it should be a red Persian long-haired cat.
The coat is fine and shiny and looks very healthy.
But... its face was flat, as if it had rushed headlong into the wall at some point, and it also had a fat tail that exploded like a bottle brush.
These two characteristics greatly reduce the image of the kitten.
Dudley didn't mind, but he still had to ask some things.
"Manager Jellos, you won't sell me cats that can't be sold in the store, right?"
The smile on Jerry's face became a little forced upon hearing this.
"How. How could it be?"
In fact, Dudley was right. Because of its appearance, almost no one cared about this kitten. Even though it was very smart and had the blood of catnives and some unknown magical creatures, it didn't look good.
As a pet, wizards value appearance more than its bloodline.
If Dudley hadn't insisted on having a pet with the blood of magical creatures, Jerros wouldn't have thought of it.
"You're kidding me, manager, I want him."
Hearing these words, Jellos breathed a sigh of relief.
Dudley readily took out the gold Galleons and paid the price of the kitten to the store manager Jerros.
"What's its name?"
"Crookshanks, you can also give it a new name. It's smart and will understand."
At this time, the kitten seemed to be awakened. It shook its ears and slowly opened its eyes.
This little guy seemed to know his fate and didn't make any fuss. He just looked at Dudley curiously.
He looks very well-behaved.
If you ignore that big flat face.
'Hey, you're my new breeder?' '
Several meows sounded, but these sounds meant something else to Dudley's ears.
Fantastic Beasts.
He really has the ancestry of a magical animal.
'Seems a little smarter than that idiot Jerous. '
Crookshanks circled Dudley and meowed a few more times.
Jeros immediately shouted excitedly: "You see, Mr. Dursley, it is greeting you, it recognizes you."
'No, I don't think it's saying hello to me, it's scolding you. '
Dudley didn't pay any attention to Jellos's nonsense.
'Hey, keeper, don't you think I look pretty naked now? I think I need an outfit. '
'A pair of boots, a belt and a hat.'
Crookshanks meowed like a chatterbox.
Dudley listened to Crookshanks ramble with a strange expression on his face.
boots?
the cat that wears shoes?
Dudley seemed to have thought of something, and pointed to Crookshanks below and said to Jellos: "By the way, Mr. Jellos, please help me dress it up."
Crookshanks' eyes lit up.
'Ah ha, new breeder, it seems you are quite discerning and know that I need to dress up.'
After a while.
Dudley walked out of the pet shop carrying a newly decorated flower basket. Crookshanks sat in the basket with a stinky expression on his face. His overall appearance had not changed much. He had neither boots nor a hat, but was tied up. A big red bow.
Since it is a gift, why not tie it with a bow?
Soon Dudley found Hermione who was trying on robes in Madam Malkin's robe store.
"This is a birthday present for you."
Dudley smiled and handed Crookshanks to Hermione.
Crookshanks meowed twice.
'Well, you're my keeper, I hope you're smarter than that big guy. '
Hermione looked very happy and gave Dudley a sweet smile. She didn't mind Crookshanks' scattered hair and hugged him into her arms.
Hermione also likes kittens.
"What's its name!"
Hermione asked excitedly.
"Meow Meow Monster."
Dudley blurted out without thinking.
'It's so ugly, it might as well be Crookshanks! '
Crookshanks meowed and waved his paws in the air in protest.
"The name EMMMM"
Hermione wanted to praise her, but she couldn't find anything to praise her for.
"Well, his name is Crookshanks. Actually, I think the name Cat Boss is not bad either."
'Actually, the cat boss is okay. '
cried Crookshanks, but no one except Dudley could understand what it was saying.
"Dudley, didn't I remember you had a cat-talking accent? What was it just saying?"
Crookshanks' eyes widened and he looked at Dudley in disbelief.
That look seemed to say, do you understand what I am saying?
"It said it liked the name Meowth very much," Dudley said casually.
'You're talking nonsense! '
Crookshanks protested.
"Look how happy it is." Dudley pointed at Crookshanks who kept plopping.
"EMMMM, I don't think it's happy."
Crookshanks finally got his wish and used the original name of Crookshanks.
Meow monsters and stuff really don't sound good.
"By the way, Dudley, there's something I want to discuss with you."
Hermione held Crookshanks in her arms, then took out a densely written class schedule, looked at Dudley and said solemnly.
"Do you think I should take so many courses?
