Chapter 297: The kitten with the intention of starting to earn his bread (Edited)

The cat's face was still stunned as they walked out of the Quality Quidditch Goods store.

This flying broom was too expensive nya!

Not to mention the Firebolt, he couldn't even afford the Nimbus 2000 of the same model as Scarhead.

"It's okay, Fish," Fred said, patting the kitten on the shoulder: "Your gift to Professor McGonagall was a token of your feelings, not the price of the gift, and the one you picked out afterwards was good, wasn't it?"

The twins, after Percy and the others explained their intentions, knew what Fish wanted, so they helped him shop for gifts together at this point.

In the end, Fish chose a 1:1 model of a Golden Snitch, which did not fly randomly like a real Golden Snitch, but flew in a certain area on a special base, and when it got tired of flying, it would land on the base and to rest.

If so, Fish wouldn't have been interested, after all, he had a real Golden Snitch in his possession, and the reason the kitty chose it was simple....

The model is customizable, which allows you to give the Golden Snitch any shape you want, and you can also engrave some Enchantments on it, and at the same time add a light emitting function, and it can also be used as a desk lamp in ordinary times.

So Fish spent the two gold galleons he had and asked the shopkeeper to make him a model of a Golden Snitch with a cat's head with a light-emitting function.

It actually cost more than two galleons, but the merchant offered to waive the customization fee and give him a nice discount off the base price.

Harry and the others have long been used to this, even if the merchant gave Fish for free, they wouldn't be surprised... unless the gift was a Firebolt.

Of course, Fish was also very pleased with the gift he had just chosen, but the little cat was more or less reluctant.

"Minerva would have preferred a Firebolt..."

?ω?

For his first gift to Professor McGonagall, Fish wanted to give the best gift he could find.

"Ahem... in that case..." George gestured with a glance at Fred, and the two of them circled Fish left and right: "Then why don't you join our house of Weasley's Sorceries? You don't need to do anything else, just help us sell our products and we'll give you a ten percent commission, and when you've saved enough money afterwards, you can make up that gift to Professor McGonagall, how about it?"

The twins, of course, were trying to trick Fish, with the price of the Firebolt, Fish wouldn't be able to save even a fraction of that until he graduated, but with their help, they would most likely have no problem opening a store after he graduated.

"Ten percent commission... What does that mean?"

?ω?

"Uh..."

The twins patted each other on the head in disbelief and hurried to explain to Fish what the commission meant.

When the kitten understood what the commission meant, he was slightly tempted, but when he remembered what he had promised Professor McGonagall after losing to her, Fish hesitated.

"I'm not going to get points deducted for this, am I? I promised Minerva I'd be a good boy this year."

?ω?

"Of course not!" The twins danced with excitement when they saw that Fish had the idea: "We've already sold hair clips with cat ears, Professor Dumbledore was our customer and he gave us extra points."

Seeing that George and Fred wanted to bring their gang in, Percy and Hermione were tempted to stop them, but after thinking about it, they gave up.

After all, it wasn't a bad thing to help the twins sell something, and since Fish had a real need for money, there was no reason to stop them.

Besides, Professor McGonagall was at the school, so if she didn't think it was appropriate, she would step in and they wouldn't have to worry.

And Fish was of the same opinion.

"Okay, but if Minerva doesn't agree later, Fish won't be able to sell anything for you."

"Of course."

George and Fred were grinning from ear to ear, not believing that Professor McGonagall would forbid Fish to sell things.

In good humor, the twins waved their hands generously.

"Come on! Let's go to Florean Fortescue Ice Cream Parlor, we'll buy ice cream for everyone!"

After the group bought ice cream at Florean Fortescue Ice Cream Parlor, they walked back while eating.

"Minerva~"

?●ω●?

When they returned to the Leaky Cauldron, Fish immediately threw himself on Professor McGonagall and rubbed his head between her arms, which made Mrs. Granger envious.

So, she rushed over to her daughter and asked quietly: "How did it go, dear?"

Hermione covered her mother's mouth and then blushed and looked at Fish in panic, anyone who is a student at Hogwarts knows how sensitive Fish's ears are.

Fortunately, Fish was talking to Professor McGonagall at the time and paid no attention to them, so Hermione was relieved.

She then pointed at Fish, put her hands on her head to make cat ears and looked at her mother sternly.

Mrs. Granger was a smart person too, she understood what he meant in an instant and quickly smiled by way of apology and stopped talking about Fish, and instead asked about the owl in Hermione's hand.

Mr. Granger was very heartbroken, although his good daughter didn't say anything, just judging by her actions at this moment, it was obvious that she was very much in love with Fish.

More importantly, Mrs. Granger had not been as active as when she was in love with him.

Although he knew his wife was just being so unpredictable and pushing her daughter towards Fish because he was so cute, but a man... right?

Anyway, the protective nature of the silly father and the jealousy of the man made Mr. Granger couldn't help but give Fish a stern look.

"Nya?"

?ω?

Fish, who was talking to Professor McGonagall, turned his head and met Mr. Granger's gaze before he could retract it.

Embarrassed at being caught, Mr. Granger smiled stiffly at Fish and then gave the kitten a silly wave as a gesture of friendship.

Not understanding what was going on, the kitten cocked its head in confusion, but waved politely in response, then turned to Professor McGonagall to talk about what had just happened in the bookstore and wand store.

After chatting with the children for a while, it was almost time for lunch, so old Tom set up a large table for them and the group gathered around to eat.

During this time, Mr. Weasley mentioned that the family planned to stay at the Leaky Cauldron today, before heading straight from here to King's Cross tomorrow, and invited the Grangers to stay the night as well....

Mostly, he wanted to ask Mr. Granger more about Muggles.

"Sorry, we have an appointment with a client this afternoon and we have to come back after lunch" Mr. Granger said regretfully, he would like to stay the night if he could, just as Mr. Weasley was curious about Muggle things, he was just as curious about anything to do with the magical world.

"But Hermione can stay, can she come with you tomorrow?"

Mrs. Granger looked at Professor McGonagall, she was doing her best to create opportunities for her daughter.

Professor McGonagall shook her head and said with a smile: "I have another job at the beginning of term and I have to go back early to prepare, and I have no intention of staying."

"Oh? Is that so?", Mrs. Granger was surprised, then looked at Fish, who was eating gracefully and quickly: "What about Fish? is he going to take the train alone? how about letting him stay as well? I think Mr. and Mrs. Weasley will be able to take care of him. "

"Nya?"

?~?

The kitten, who was burying his head in his food, looked up, swallowed his food and replied: "Fish doesn't need to take the train, Fish's house is right next to the terminal and I always go straight to school with Minerva nya."

"Really? It's very convenient."

Mrs. Granger smiled helplessly and shot a helpless look at Hermione, who then gave her a stern look.

"I'd like the little one to take the train," Professor McGonagall said helplessly, patting Fish on the head: "At least let him experience the whole thing like the other students, but he's too slow to be interested."

"That's right, and there's nothing interesting in that tin box, all the sections look the same, only a fool would go in it."

(〃`3′〃)

Fish wrinkled his nose in disgust, the cat had been on the Hogwarts Express when it stopped at Hogsmeade station, and in his opinion, the train was nothing but big, slow and noisy.

"Ahem," Ron argued, not wanting to be called an idiot: "it's actually a nice ride."

"And we're all on the train, so we won't be bored together." added Harry.

Hermione, who knew Fish better than anyone else, had the last word: "There are also carriages on the train that provide you with all sorts of food, like licorice wands, cauldron shaped cakes and the like."

"Nya! Such an important matter, why are you only telling Fish that now?"
