Chapter 140: Crook Hill and Spotted
Suddenly pounced on his head by an unidentified ginger object, Ron reacted quickly and instinctively pushed it away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The cat then rolls over the counter and pounces on the little mouse, who stretches out his limbs nimbly and leaps off the high counter before rushing into an uncertain spot in the pet store.
Ron was so angry that he ran with Spotted in the pet store, shouting as he ran, "Spotted, Spotted, come back, no one dares to hurt you again!"
But Crookhill was undaunted, and continued to pace back and forth on the counter, as if as long as it was there, Spotted would not want to go back to the counter.
"Hey, your rat tonic......" The witch behind the counter took out a red pill bottle from under the cabinet, then straightened up, and was speechless by what she saw. "Crook Hill!"
The cat's turmeric fur was thick and fluffy, but its legs were visibly a little crooked, and its face looked rough-tempered, and it looked strangely squashed, as if it had once rushed headlong against a wall.
"Uh, it's Crookshan?" Hermione leaned a little closer, "Vio, how is it? a pet? Oh, maybe as a new friend?"
"Honey, you're very discerning," the witch behind the counter understood Hermione's purpose at this point, and she went out of her way to sell Crookshan, "its temper, its character, by the way, how bright its color, how beautiful its eyes are......"
But it didn't last long before the witch found herself in front of Crookshank, unable to say more against her will.
Crookhill was more like an angry little old man when he glared at others, and his whole face was not only shriveled but also wrinkled.
But Hermione didn't seem to hear what the witch was saying at all, and she smiled and held out her hand towards Crookshan, who looked at her warily and purred in her throat.
Then, unexpectedly, it threw itself into Hermione's arms, knocking Hermione into the ground.
The witch covered her mouth and screamed, fearing that Hermione would change her mind and not want it.
Hermione only giggled, though, and then she hugged Crookshank with one hand and pulled out the ten Galleons she had saved up for almost half a year with the other.
"Oh dear, you're sure you're going to want it, aren't you?" the witch looked refreshed, and with a quick gesture took the money and took out a basket, spread a layer of dried lavender in it, and let Crook Hill get into it before covering it with a cloth.
The cat then purred comfortably in Hermione's bassinet.
On the other side, the blob is eventually found under a cage of mustard-colored hairballs, which are as fluffy as the hairballs, but the color is too far apart.
When Ron found Spotted, it was curled up in its little paws and shivering, and its beard had become lighter.
Ron carefully picked it up and put it back in his breast pocket.
His earlobes began to redden, and Harry reassured, "It's just in time, it's not hurt"
"And they get along well with this bunch of furballs, they can be a companion. Vio interjected, "Ron, I'm going to buy a furball for me and Spotted, do you mind?"
"Uh, what?" Ron visibly couldn't turn around, but his attention was slowly drawn to the furballs, and his ears were finally less red, which meant that his anger wasn't quite burning.
"Want to buy a furball for Spotted?" Ron said slowly.
"That's right. Vio said with interest, "Look at this one, it's as fluffy as Spotted." They are a real match. ”
As she spoke, the witch pulled the two furballs she liked from the cage, and Ron began to smile.
Then things got simpler, with Ron holding one hand to his chest in case anything happened to Spotted, and on the other side squatted a small furball on his shoulder, which made a bell-like cry from time to time.
On their way out, they meet some Gryffindor classmates, one of whom is Neville Longbottom, who has come to the pet store to treat his toad, Lev, for an eye disease.
Ron deliberately moved his shoulder as he walked past him, and the hairball made a silver bell-like cry so hard that Neville's eyes were immediately drawn to it, and Neville was still looking at the lively hairball on Ron's shoulder until they were far away.
This was clearly satisfying to Ron.
Later, when they passed by a Quidditch shop, many people were talking about the new shop window, and it seemed that a new product had been released.
Harry and Ron quickly squeezed over to take a look, and before that, Ron had entrusted Vio with all his spots and furballs, and he had instructed Hermione to keep Crook Hill away from Spotted, and scoffed at Hermione's eyes.
"Why would you want to buy it, Hermione, this thing almost scratched my scalp!"
"It wasn't meant to," Hermione said as she lifted the cloth, "you didn't mean to, did you, Crookshanks?"
Ron snorted, then turned and squeezed into the crowd.
"Hermione, Crookshank is a cat. Vio reminded her. "The nature of a cat makes it obsessed with the sensation of chasing spots. ”
"I understand. Hermione lowered her head and gently pressed Crookshan's head back into the basket so that the crowd wouldn't hit it. "But you certainly didn't hear a word at the time, the witch said it hadn't been bought for a long time, and it was always there"
"Oh, that's a surprise. Ron didn't know when he squeezed out of the crowd in front of him, and happened to hear what Hermione said, so he replied sarcastically.
"You're back just in time," Vio said quietly, "what's in front of you, a new model of broom?
"A new broom, indeed," Ron said curiously. "It's got a pretty good name, Firebolt!"
Vio sighed, "You two wait and see, after the Slytherin House has selected new players this year, there may be a substitute Seeker who will spend a lot of money and take out seven of the latest firebolts at once just to stay......"
Hermione covered her mouth and laughed, "You might as well squeeze out your training time and follow me to the library." ”
"You wouldn't want to buy seven firebolts at once, by the way, why only seven," Ron asked.
Vio smiled bitterly, "Of course I have to save a little money on my own one, the fire crossbow arrow, it's very expensive when you hear the name, isn't it?"
"Yes, that's right. Harry squeezed out of the crowd as well, "Very expensive, negotiable. And its branches have been polished with the latest polishing and polishing technology, and the brakes have been updated with the best spells...... So, vio, we'd better continue to play with the Halo series next semester?" )
