Chapter 11: Condi's Wish (Part II)
"No! Absolutely not! "The Sorting Hat wants to be like a wave hat, and he won't help him if he is killed." What are you kidding to take me to the dog's head? This is a serious insult to the hat of this hat! ”
"Uncle Hat, you can help! It's dying, you can't watch people die with regret......" Brandi flattered around the Sorting Hat. "I promise! Definitely won't talk to other hats about what happened here~ And I'll help you wash it again after you're done with this ticket! That's all right, right? ”
If Brandy had begged for it in the past, the Sorting Hat would have been happy for a long time, but this time it seemed to have touched its bottom line, and the Sorting Hat clearly scoffed at such conditions.
"It can't be! If you dare me touch that dog's head...... I, I'm ...... I'll guarantee that I won't be able to recruit a single Gryffindor girl in the future! ”
Hiss...... If you think about it, this seems to be a great threat.
Brandy's flattering face stiffened.
At this moment, the girl next to him suddenly patted him on the shoulder and handed over a square thing. Brandi subconsciously took it, he was still staring at the stubborn Sorting Hat, but he suddenly felt that the touch on his hand was not quite right, so he looked over suspiciously.
………… All of a sudden, he had the courage.
"Ahem!"
The Sorting Hat, satisfied with its pride, heard Brandy's cough, and it chuckled inwardly. Sample, when I used this hat, I was so enthusiastic...... When he ran out, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and he actually put me and stinky socks together. Hey! If this hat is no longer powerful, are you still going to kick your nose in the face?
It snorted contrivedly, and pretended to begin a tirade to thwart someone's arrogance—before it could open its mouth, it saw something in its perception.
This is......
"Wow!" Its voice began to tremble with excitement. "You are a temptation, this is a bribe from Hongguoguo!"
"Now, are you still going to be stubborn~ uh-huh." Brandi lazily fiddled with the Wizard's Hat Maintenance Manual, brazenly yelling.
Two minutes later, the Sorting Hat succumbed to the temptation of a Scottish oil-massage, take-and-go, shower, incense and maintenance set—but not so stupidly as witty as it was, bargaining with an additional condition: Brandi had to help him think of the lyrics for the next semester's sorting ceremony during the summer vacation......
Although Brandi is incomplete in five notes, it is probably okay to make up a few lyrics casually...... So it took him less than a second to say yes.
So how serious are the consequences of doing things but thinking about it......
"Alright, take the hat, and I'll see what this poor little creature craves."
Under the girl's curious gaze, Brandy placed the Sorting Hat on the black dog's head. The black dog seemed to be afraid of what was obscuring its vision, and it arched its head slightly, letting out a faint wail.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid~" The girl kept patting its back and comforting it.
As soon as the hat was put on, almost immediately, the Sorting Hat's body crumpled up - something that seemed to only be seen when it was serious, such as when it was helping Harry Sort House.
"Hey...... Brandi ......"
After a long time, the hat finally spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Please...... Help it. ”
………………
Once upon a time, Condi was not a stray dog, he had a very loving hostess.
The first thing Kandi saw when she was born was her. At that time, the hostess was still very small, and it was also small. Condi's favorite thing to do is to snuggle up to her hostess in the afternoon when the sun is warmest, and quietly watch her play with her fur without knowing how to do it...... Sometimes it hurts, but more often it's happiness. Since then, it has made up its mind to live forever with its mistress.
As time went on, it began to grow rapidly, and the hostess could no longer carry it out for a walk. So every fine day, she would be led out of the door, or take the initiative to pull her out, through a few hard stone paths, to a place overgrown with grass and flowers.
There, they can chase and play to their heart's content without worrying about being reprimanded by the hostess's parents for knocking something over. Condi loved something that could fly around in the air, it was funny, it could fly in the sky, and it liked to run behind the thing's ass, and then catch it and send it to the hostess—every time it did, the hostess would be happy. Condi wondered why she had accidentally let it slip away, but as long as she was happy, she was extra motivated to chase after her.
But...... When did this kind of life begin, and there is no going back?
………………
"You mean...... Condi was taken away by Muggles in a cage while playing in front of his house? Because no one wanted to take it in, they were almost sold to the slaughterhouse as wild dogs!? ”
Brandi only felt a tightness in his chest. Dogs in the city of London will have dog tags, how can those people not notice? It's clearly a gang of criminals who specialize in stealing and selling dogs!
"Yes...... It was later bought by a Muggle, and it escaped from the man's house the same day. But the city of London was too big for it to find its way home......" the Sorting Hat sighed. "It's been wandering the streets for six years......"
Six years...... That's almost half of a dog's life.
“…… Well, its wish ......," Brandi muttered, he already knew the answer.
The Sorting Hat looked at him quietly, "You'll help it, won't you?" ”
There was the sound of a girl sniffing beside her. Brandi's hand was cold, and he was gently held by another, softer hand.
yes, does it take the slightest hesitation? Brandi took a deep breath and grinned an ugly grin.
"Of course, my pleasure."
Decisions are always harder than execution...... First of all, they faced a very practical problem - both of them had large bags of luggage, and the black dog said that it was not too big, but it took at least two hands to hold it.
What happens to their luggage?
But this problem was quickly solved by the weird-looking girl in a more weird way.
Brandi was stunned when she rightfully took out her crucible and tied it with a rope to Brandy's suitcase.
Not to mention what a magical setting it is for a normal person to carry a pot on his luggage, the purpose of your doing this thing should not be to put the black dog in that brown paper bag!
…… What is this? Dog bags?
Watching the girl struggling to lift the huge bag, Brandi always felt a blow in her heart. How dare he let a girl carry such a heavy thing...... You can't carry this thing around on your own!
Get...... In his left hand, he dragged the luggage with the pot on his back, and in the handbag in his right hand, there was a dog's head exposed. He wore a pointed hat from a thousand-year-old style on his head, and a new urn in his suitcase......
Ha, ha, ha......... Brandi smiled dryly, his worldview was about to collapse.
Alas...... Brandi looked at the sleepwalking girl in the long skirt and jeans who helped him carry Yale, and inexplicably, he suddenly felt a little better.
I don't know if this is a contrast that produces beauty.
With so many bulky things, they couldn't do it all over London, and in fact it would only take about half an hour for the two of them to be paralyzed on the street like Condy. Considering it's so close to Brandi's home...... He suggested leaving his luggage at home first.
I don't know if the girl is simply easy to trust people or bold to go to the sky, she doesn't seem to be worried at all.
"If you go back a little later, won't your parents worry about you?"
The girl ran her fingers around her hair and said without any urgency. "It's okay, they won't blame me."
No, I'm not asking if your parents will be angry with you when they go back...... Brandi's head full of black lines.
They left the street with a large pile of stuff and merged into the bustling flow of people outside.
Wow...... This terrible feeling of being watched.
Brandi cowered and lowered his head, now he just wanted to find a place to kill himself. But when he turned around and saw the girl behind him, he was surprised to find that the girl did not mean the slightest embarrassment, as if she did not see the strange and mocking gaze of the others, and followed him with her chest up.
What a weird girl......
Brandi laughed self-deprecatingly, and he puffed out his chest after him.
I don't know if it's the posture that played a key role, and after ignoring the eyes around them, their situation seems to be much better. After only a little trouble getting in and out of the subway, the girl had apparently been living in the wizard's world, and she couldn't figure out why the turnstile at the entrance didn't let her through. It was a lot of jumping, and Brandi had to explain to the suspicious police that his cousin had just come from the middle of nowhere.
After a lot of hardship, an hour later, they finally arrived at Brandi's house.
"Don't worry, my parents should be pretty good at talking." Brandi pulled out the keys and twisted the door open.
Surprisingly, the room was empty, and there was no one in it.
It's strange, didn't I send an owl to send a letter to my mother......
"This is Muggle money?" The girl stood at the table in the living room, looking at the things on the table with novelty. "I just saw you use it, but the color doesn't seem to be the same......"
"Of course it's different, this one is £100, in other words 20 Galleons." Brandi patted her amusefully and motioned for her to put her things down. "That's enough for me to get through a week...... Eh, weird. ”
Why is there so much money on the table?
He picked up the other four hundred-dollar bills on the table and found a note pressed underneath. Brandi was stunned, based on years of experience in being pitted, he knew what he was about to see almost instantly.
Sure enough, there were only a few words on the note.
"You're coming back too slowly, your dad and I decided to go to Spain to watch the bullfights first, and the money on the table is your meal ticket for half a month - by the way, remember to weed the yard and love your Shirley."
Brandi put down the bill with a blank face and smacked his lips. "Hush."
