Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 116: Crookshanks

Neville Longbottom and Hermione Granger, two good friends of Matthew at Hogwarts.

The two stood together under the stairs, each holding a large bookcase in their hands.

Neville looked very excited, and enthusiastically waved his hands at Matthew.

As for Hermione, she doesn't look high-natured, and seems to be a little tanned.

"Finally see you, Matthew!" Neville said with a smile at Matthew, "I met Hermione at the entrance of Lihen Bookstore, and I found out that it was sealed up for some reason; then Under the guidance of kind people, we went to Foyle's bookstore together, and finally bought the textbook there!"

While speaking, he waved the big cardboard box in his hand: "Shall we take you to Foyle's bookstore?"

"In the first week of summer vacation, I got all the things I needed for the next semester. At that time, Lihen Bookstore had not been seized." Matthew explained.

"I see. After all, you spent the whole summer vacation here." Neville said, "How was your summer vacation, Matthew?"

"It's okay." Matthew replied casually: "What about you?"

"Great!" Neville said very excitedly: "I bet you will definitely regret not coming to my house... My parents took leave, and then we went to Iceland with Uncle Algie's family ...The scenery there is really amazing, and the climate is really comfortable..."

"Sounds good." Matthew nodded, turned his head and looked at Hermione: "What about you, Hermione?"

Miss Hermione Granger pouted, and her face showed that she was not happy.

"If Padma Patil had told me in advance that she and her sister would return to their hometown in India during the summer vacation and stay there for a month and a half, I would definitely not be with them..." Hermione He shook his head helplessly:

"It's just too bad. This summer vacation, in any way, you can't imagine...Look, you can see how I've been sunburned..."

"Hahaha!"

Matthew and Neville looked at each other, and then couldn't help laughing.

…

Hermione and Neville both booked rooms at the Leaky Cauldron, and they planned to stay here with Matthew for two days. Then wait until September 1st, go to King's Cross Station together, and take the express train back to Hogwarts.

When Matthew waited for them to put their luggage away and was about to ask them where to eat at noon——

Hermione suddenly came out of the room with a big **** cat in her arms.

"Sorry, you go to eat first, I have to take Crookshanks to check." Hermione said: "It seems to have been a little acclimatized since it came back from India."

"What's going on?" Matthew looked curiously at the half-magical creature on Hermione's chest (Crookshanks is a hybrid of a cat and a Persian cat).

As its owner said, the cat is in poor shape.

Its fluffy and soft ginger-yellow fur looks dull; its bowed legs and feet are more obvious; and its weird persimmon face looks very weak... as if it is sick.

There is something wrong with this, Matthew thought to himself... Hermione's cat in the previous life has always been "lively and alive"...

Probably an Indian problem?

This poor little guy accidentally drank two mouthfuls of Ganga water and that's it?

In his heart, Matthew slowly came to a conclusion.

"Then let's go with you!" Neville took the initiative to say, "I'm also going to buy some rations for 'Inch' (Neville's owl's name)!"

The three of them made up their minds, and they came to the backyard of the Leaky Cauldron together.

Matthew has long been familiar with the road, he took the initiative to lead the way, and took the two friends into Diagon Alley.

…

Crossing the noisy road, they came to a shop called "Wonderful Zoo".

The place in the store is small, and there are many cages densely hung on the wall. There are many animal feces in the cages, which makes the air emit a bad smell.

The sound was extremely noisy, because the little guys in the cage were all screaming and screaming loudly.

The witch behind the counter is teaching a wizard how to take good care of an owl... Matthew still has a slight impression of this witch, the mistress of "Wonderful Zoo"; because a year ago, he learned from her Here, two toads were bought successively.

Matthew, Hermione and Neville could only stay on one side, and take a look at the animals in the cages next to them.

Soon, Matthew found the big tortoise with gems inlaid on its hard shell. After a year, it has not been sold; it may be because the price is too expensive.

There are also two huge purple toads, gobbling up flies there, drooling at the same time.

And in the cage at Hermione's feet, a hovering cobra suddenly got up and spit a message at Hermione, which startled Hermione.

The wizard who bought the owl left soon.

Hermione hurried out of her previous position, then avoided the cages on either side.

"Ma'am, my cat..." She hugged Crookshanks to the witch: "I went to India before, but after I brought it back from India, its condition has been a little bit wrong. "

The witch took out a pair of thick black glasses from her pocket, and then took a careful look at the big **** cat——

"It's Crookshanks!" She quickly recognized the cat.

After all, Crookshanks had been in this store for more than ten years, until it was bought by Miss Hermione Granger a year ago; It is easy to leave a deep impression on people, and it is unforgettable.

"Poor guy, it must have suffered a lot recently..." the witch murmured ~IndoMTL.com~ and touched the cat's paw.

Hermione immediately lowered her head in shame, apparently she neglected to take care of her pet during that time in India.

The witch took out a bunch of strange instruments, and then poked at Crookshanks; while the big ugly cat just lay lazily in front of her, never moving much.

"Everything is healthy, there is nothing wrong with its body." The witch quickly came to a conclusion: "The reason why it has become like this may be the stress reaction after a long journey!"

"Then what should I do, ma'am?" Hermione asked hastily.

"Feed it more dried fish, Crookshanks likes this very much..." The witch replied: "And don't disturb it during this time, it needs to rest!"

"Yeah!" Hermione nodded quickly.

She bought some dried fish in the shop, and Neville went on to buy some rations for owls.

Then, the three returned to the Leaky Cauldron together.
