Chapter Thirty-Six: The Half-Dead Sirius

"Pets?"

Hallie thought about it, and Hermione really hadn't had any pets until now.

So she proposed, "There's a magical beast shop around here, why don't you check it out?"

I picked up a dog with magical animal blood some time ago and put it in that store for inspection now. ”

Hermione readily agreed to Harry's offer, and the two crossed the street towards the Magical Beasts Store.

When the two arrived at the store, they found that the store was empty.

The witch in the morning was not behind the counter, leaving only a note that said, "The shopkeeper has something to do, so he's out for a while."

Sirius, on the other hand, was lying on his makeshift kennel in the corner, and Crook Hill was lying on his back.

A cat and a dog get along very harmoniously, and they are all asleep.

The moment Hallie and Hermione entered the store, thanks to the animal's sharp intuition, a cat and a dog woke up at the same time, looked up together, and looked at the door of the store.

Seeing that it was Harley with a strange little witch, Sirius was excited and stood up directly.

The Crook Hill on his body was defenseless, and his head hit the cage next to him, and then fell to the ground.

The little white rabbit in the cage was so frightened that he didn't say a word and passed out directly.

"Meow ——!" A cat in Crook Hill snorted and jumped up from the ground.

It's not painful, but it's too embarrassing! It wants revenge!

It howled angrily, revealing its bright teeth: "Meow! Meow! Meow~! ——! ”

"Huh?" Sirius let out a low howl, his voice filled with doubt, before he realized what he had done earlier.

"Woohoo!" Sirius whispered, barely soothing Crookshank's emotions.

Then, like a real dog, Sirius scurried up to Hallie's lap and sat down, sticking out his tongue.

"Blake is so good." Harley leaned over and rubbed the dog's head, while Sirius licked Harley's fingers like a normal dog and barked excitedly twice.

"This is a wandering Scottish deer hound I picked up, and I named him Black."

Hallie introduced Hermione,

"Probably because he has some magical animal blood, Black is very human.

However, it seems that there are no wizards in the vicinity where I live, and it is likely that Blake is a dog from a Muggle family.

In that case, I can only say sorry to his original owner, after all, magic cannot be leaked. ”

"Indeed." Hermione hesitated, agreeing with Harley.

Although the Muggle family had lost their property, magic could not be divulged.

Besides, this may be a good thing for the original owner of this dog.

After all, a magical dog is not something that ordinary people can control.

Sirius enjoyed Harley's touch, but the dog's eyes quietly looked at Hermione.

"This is Hallie's best friend?" Sirius thought to himself, "Well, I can't care about Harley, as long as she's happy." ”

Hermione's attention was quickly drawn to Crook Hill, which had previously been on Sirius' head.

There are so many pets around, including discolored hamsters, bite-by-bite kittens, and obedient owls.

But Hermione had her eye on Crook Hill at a glance.

Although this proud cat is not good-looking, it still attracts Hermione.

And Crookshank also listened to Hermione very much, and soon jumped into Hermione's arms.

"Hallie, I've decided, I'm going to buy her." Hermione rubbed the cat's head and made a decision.

"Don't buy owls anymore?"

"I don't buy it." Hermione grinned and said, "Just rub your Hedwig then." ”

Hallie rolled her eyes, drew her wand, and conjured two chairs.

"It looks like it's going to take a while for the boss to come back, so let's wait a while." Hallie sat down in her chair, Sirius lying at her feet,

"You buy Crook Hill or not, this cat is not estimated to be cheap.

If I'm not mistaken, it has the blood of a raccoon dog. ”

Hermione remembered what she had learned about the civet and her face beamed with joy.

But she quickly remembered something.

"It's her, not it." Hermione corrected with a serious face, stroking the little she-cat lying on her lap,

"It's like when you call Blake and Hedwig, you use him and her."

……

While waiting, the two chatted all over the world.

Although Harley had already told Hermione the story of the Potions Tournament, Fleur was present at that time.

Now that Fleur wasn't there, Hermione insisted on Harley repeating it.

Sirius on the side also listened with relish.

I didn't expect my goddaughter to be so strong, and she completely inherited Lily's potions talent.

And the subtle Transfiguration from before, how similar it is to Jaime!

"By the way, Hallie, what do you think of that Sirius Black?"

Hermione's shoes had fallen to the ground, and her little feet in cotton socks were on the bench, her hands wrapped around her bent legs, and her chin resting on her knees.

And Crook Hill had been put back on top of Sirius.

"What do you think? That Death Eater must have come after me. ”

Harley fiddled with Sirius's dog ears, her voice unconcerned,

Sirius is now about 33 years old and has been in prison for 12 years, so he went to prison at the age of 21.

So, only a few years after he graduated from Hogwarts? How much have you learned? How much have you forgotten in the past 12 years?

Can I kill the basilisk in the first half of this year, a basically crippled Sirius, to send him to his death? ”

"Whew!" The big dog at his feet suddenly howled, and Harley realized that she seemed to have curled the hair on his head.

"I'm sorry." Hallie hurriedly said, letting go of Sirius' hair.

But that's not where Sirius cares.

"Am I that weak?" Sirius lay on the ground dejectedly, "actually looked down on by Hallie......"

However, considering the reason why Harley received the Order of the Order of Merlin, Sirius also had to admit that she was definitely no match for her without a wand.

If nothing else, the second grade kills the basilisk alone...... I can't afford to mess with it, I really can't afford to mess with it.

"Hallie, you're not right!" Sirius himself knew it, but Hermione disagreed,

"That's a very vicious Death Eater!

If, I mean, he learned a few wicked dark magic tricks from Voldemort, what would you do? ”

Hallie tilted her head, then concentrated on ravaging the dog's head at her feet, choosing not to argue with Hermione.

……

……

(Thanks to the nine-tailed Yanhu for the tip!) )

(ps. Regarding the question of the pet's gender, I used it for Hedwig before, but I can't change it, I hope everyone will tolerate it.) )

(ps. The original book is very strange, there is no mention of Sirius's reason for going to prison, only a wanted warrant was issued, and the author expressed his incomprehension.)

Regarding age, the author, according to the normal way of thinking, should write how old the escaped prisoner is on the wanted warrant, which can be used as a reference for the appearance of the fugitive. )
