Pet Crookshanks

"Make friends, my name is Hermione Granger!"

Hermione took the initiative to extend her right hand to Jerry. She felt that the little boy in front of her was different from the other classmates she had met before, and seemed to fit her very well.

"Jerry Carmen!"

Hearing Hermione's introduction, Jerry froze for a moment, then smiled and reached out to shake her hand.

"Jerry, I'm going to buy textbooks, see you when school starts!"

Hermione returned to her parents, waved to Jerry, and left Madam Malkin's robe shop.

"See you at the beginning of school!"

When Hermione's family left completely, Jerry's face showed a puzzled expression.

Does Hermione have big front teeth and thick, curly brown hair?

This seemed a bit different from the image in the movies he had seen. He remembered that Hermione in the movie had no front teeth and was very beautiful.

But speaking of it, if the little girl he met just now had her hair done and her front teeth straightened, she should be pretty too.

After all, the little girl has big eyes, and her facial features are actually Zhou Zheng, but she doesn't know how to dress up and her image is ruined by her front teeth.

"It's ready, dear."

Ten minutes later, the chunky Mrs. Malkin also came to Jerry with a bag containing Hogwarts uniforms.

"Okay thank you!"

Jerry paid the fee, put the clothes into the suitcase, pulled the trolley and opened the door, and walked out of Mrs. Malkin's robe store.

"Professor McGonagall!"

As soon as he went out, Jerry saw Professor McGonagall walking towards him carrying a bag of magic books, and waved quickly.

"Okay, now only pets and wands are left. Ollivander's wand shop is at the end of Diagon Alley, so let's go to the Magic Zoo first!"

Putting the magic book into the suitcase, Professor McGonagall took Jerry and the trolley and continued to walk along the streets of Diagon Alley.

When passing by Florin's Cold Drinks, I also bought Jerry a Barley ice cream (an ice cream that can taste a hundred different flavors).

"That's Gringotts Bank, a wizarding bank run by goblins. If you need to store valuables in the future, you can also come to this bank. It's still very safe, er, probably!"

Professor McGonagall watched Jerry set his eyes on the tall white building on the right, and patiently explained to him.

But halfway through the explanation, she suddenly remembered the theft of Gringotts yesterday, and her tone was no longer so sure.

Jerry nodded in understanding.

In fact, he wasn't looking at the bank just now, but just looking at the two goblins standing guard at the door of the bank, and lamenting how ugly the goblins in this world are.

"By the way, Mr. Carmen, I want to warn you seriously, if you come to Diagon Alley alone in the future, please remember not to go to that alley!"

At this moment, Professor McGonagall suddenly looked serious and pointed to a narrow and dark alley opposite Gringotts.

"That is?"

Jerry's heart moved, and he already had a guess.

Professor McGonagall replied with a straight face:

"That's Knockturn Alley, you just need to know that it's a dangerous alley for you!"

"Okay, I remembered!"

Jerry nodded seriously.

In his opinion, Professor McGonagall may be the kind of person with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Although he looks serious most of the time, he is not inferior to anyone in Hogwarts in terms of caring for little wizards. a professor.

Seeing that Jerry was so sensible, Professor McGonagall looked relaxed, and led him to continue walking in the direction of the Magic Zoo.

The Magic Zoo is located between the Bouncing and Frolicking Magic Joke Shop and Gringotts. The store is not big, but there are many kinds of pets in it.

As soon as Jerry stepped into the shop, he saw densely packed iron cages hanging on the entire wall.

There's a big purple toad gorging on dead blowflies, a frighteningly big turtle with a shell on its back that glistens like a jewel, a white rabbit that can turn into a satin top hat at any time, and all kinds of stuff. Color cats, mice and ravens and more.

"Professor McGonagall, you are here, what do you need?"

A young witch with thick black glasses saw Professor McGonagall at the door, and immediately greeted her with a respectful tone.

"Pavla, I'm bringing the first graders over to buy a school pet."

A small smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face.

"How is it, is the work going well?"

"Very good, the boss treats me well, what kind of pet does the little guy like, I can give you a 20% discount!"

The young witch helped her eyes, lowered her head and smiled and asked Jerry.

"Ma'am, I want a cat!"

Jerry scanned the entire store with his eyes, and soon found his target.

"Look at this gray short-haired cat, it's very docile and very suitable as a pet!"

Hearing this, the young witch immediately picked out the best-looking British shorts and placed them in front of Jerry.

Jerry glanced at it and shook his head, then pointed at the big-faced yellow cat lying on the cage at the top of the wall and said:

"I like that type of cat!"

The cat he remembered from Hermione seemed to be a long-haired yellow cat, and the one in the entire shop that qualified now was the one he was referring to now.

"Crookshanks?"

A look of surprise appeared on the young witch's face.

Because of his appearance, Crookshanks has been in the store for several years and no one wants it. She didn't expect Jerry to fall in love with him at a glance.

"Yes, I think it's ugly and cute, very cute!"

Jerry opened his eyes and replied nonsense.

"That's really great. I've been worrying that it won't find a good owner. I hope you can take good care of it in the future!"

Pavla used to be a student of Hufflepuff at Hogwarts. Because she liked magical animals, she worked as a clerk in the magical animal store in Diagon Alley after graduation.

She was happy that Crookshanks was bought by Jerry not because another business was done, but because Crookshanks had found an owner who liked it.

"I will try my best to take good care of it, although it is my first time to keep a pet!"

There was a hint of sincerity in Jerry's tone.

After leaving Magic Zoo, Jerry hugged Crookshanks who was snoring in his arms, and followed Professor McGonagall to the last shop at the end of Diagon Alley.

That is Ollivander's wand shop, which has been making professional wands for thousands of years.

The process of choosing a wand is the same as in the movie, that is, the boss takes a measuring tape and measures it at him, and then starts to try the wand.

During the process, there was nothing different from ordinary people, just like ordinary little wizards. After all, what he exchanged was normal wizard blood.

After trying two or three wands, Jerry quickly found one that worked better.

"Alder, dragon's heart nerve, eleven inches long, you must be a helpful little wizard!"

Looking at the wand waving in Jerry's hand, Ollivander explained with a smile:

"Alder is an inflexible wood, but I've found that its ideal owner is neither obstinate nor obstinate, but rather helpful, caring, and lovable wizards."

"Helpful?"

Hearing Ollivander's explanation, Jerry looked at the wand in his hand with a strange expression on his expression.
