245. Crookshanks
In the end, Elaine had no choice but to pay.
Of course she doesn't want to buy this damn thing. Who knows if she will be poisoned if she eats it.
Even if it is not poisonous, the skin will peel off if you eat it.
But before Daphne could speak, Hermione immediately brought up the matter of the Chamber of Secrets, insisting that Elaine must compensate the two of them for their traumatized hearts. If she didn't pay, she would feel a dull pain in her abdomen and talked a lot.
It was obvious that this woman intended to laugh at her. It was a touching friendship.
Elaine swore to this that she would definitely share it with Hermione when she ate it.
Good things should be shared with good friends, even if they have to be fed mouth to mouth.
Then the three of them went to the pet shop. There were many such shops in Diagon Alley. Elaine did not lead the way. If they walked along this road, they would first enter another pet shop instead of selling Crookshanks' magical products. zoo.
But when they walked to the door of the pet store, Elaine found that there were a lot of people inside, and they seemed to be doing some kind of activity. Hermione felt it was troublesome so she changed to another room, and finally they came to the Magic Zoo.
World consciousness is really scary.
Walking into the store, there was a strong smell like a medicine store. There was no one behind the counter, so the three of them could only take a look at the magical creatures first.
A pair of purple toads with huge eyes sit in a cage and push each other. A large turtle with a gem-encrusted shell is basking in the sun near the window. An orange snail is slowly emerging from the edge of the glass box. , a fat white rabbit repeatedly transformed into a silk top hat and back again, making a loud popping sound.
In addition there was a cage of noisy ravens, a basket of ridiculous pink soft balls humming loudly, and a large cage on the counter containing a swarm of silky black rats growing their long hair. bald tail playing some kind of jumping game.
None of this attracted Elaine's attention. As soon as she entered the door, she walked straight to the corner where the cats were kept. Her expression slowed down significantly. Seeing this, Hermione shook her head helplessly, while Daphne bit her lower lip thoughtfully.
"If you like it so much, you can raise it. What's wrong with letting Nott take care of it?"
"No, I really don't have time." Elaine replied casually, "And I have very high requirements for pets. Just take a look at these cats. If you want to keep them, they must not only be beautiful, but also smart."
As Elaine spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up and she turned to look at Hermione and Daphne.
"Why don't you transform into cats and I'll provide you with three meals a day, as well as bathing, grooming, and sleeping services?"
Hermione snorted coldly and turned directly to look at Pu Rongrong.
"No, I want to be an owner more than a pet." Daphne smiled gently, meaning, "And I don't need to transform, I can also enjoy these services."
"you are vicious."
She originally wanted to tease the two of them but was disappointed. Elaine turned around without knowing anything and happened to see the witch who was looking after the shop walking out from behind the door. She hugged Crookshanks and was stunned when she saw the three of them.
"Sorry, are you going to buy any animals?" The witch let go of Crookshanks and came forward to greet her enthusiastically, "I just examined the child. Do you like cats?"
"Go visit with a friend." Elaine said to Hermione, "She wants to buy a pet. Please introduce it to her."
The witch took Hermione and started to introduce the pets in the store. Taking this opportunity, Elaine looked at Crookshanks.
The other cats were lazily sleeping or grooming themselves in their cages, but Crookshanks was running around in the store. He jumped on the counter and looked around like a boss.
It had to be said that the face was indeed as flat as if it had been pressed, and the ginger fur was thick and fluffy, reminding Elaine of Hermione's hair. Inexplicably, she was a little amused.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Elaine suddenly snickering, Daphne asked curiously.
"Well, don't you think that cat's hair looks similar to Hermione's hair?"
"I don't think so, the colors are quite different." Daphne lowered her voice helplessly, "Hermione just doesn't want to tidy it up, unlike that cat. If she were willing to spend time tidying up her hair, her hair wouldn't be so unkempt."
"It wouldn't be Hermione if she wanted to."
Crookshanks seemed to understand English. He suddenly looked at them and frowned fiercely.
