Harry Potter's Catastrophe - Chapter 502
c502 :Crookshanks
But it just looked at it and quickly focused on the cage.
Hermione also saw Crookshanks. The orange hair extended to the ends and turned into ginger. The brilliant fur immediately made her hopeless.
The next movement while holding the yellow cat made her more determined to buy it, and Carney also saw it.
Crookshanks pawed at the cage lock a few times and soon understood the mechanism for opening and closing the door.
It’s not as simple as lifting the crossbar up. People have to use both hands to open the door lock. It seems that its cage door lock is more complicated than that of other animals, but it can’t be troubled.
I saw it pulling up the cage with both paws, touching it left and right, and after a while of studying it, it opened it.
“What pet are you planning to buy?” The witch asked as the father and son who bought the owl had already left.
“We don’t buy it, she wants it.” Ron pointed at Hermione who looked up at the cat.
“Hey store manager, your pet is escaping from prison.” Carney said, Crookshanks jumped from the cage to another cage, and the owl in the cage just ignored it for a moment.
Crookshanks swung back and forth on the hanging cage, while the owl in the cage remained motionless.
“Come down! Crookshanks!” The witch stretched out her hand to reach it and motioned for Crookshanks to jump down, but Crookshanks obviously felt very happy swinging and had no intention of jumping down.
“It’s called Crookshanks?” Hermione looked at Crookshanks with interest.
“Try it with dried fish.” Ron picked up a dried fish from the side and waved it in front of Crookshanks, but Crookshanks was not attracted.
“Crookshanks, come here.” Hermione waved to Crookshanks.
“That’s useless Hermione, I thought it might be interested in rats,” said Ron.
Crookshanks, who was enjoying his swing, suddenly jumped from the cage onto Ron’s head, and then landed in Hermione’s arms.
“Hey, pay attention, you stupid cat.” Ron rubbed his head. In his opinion, it must be a stupid cat.
“I bought this cat.” Hermione couldn’t put it down immediately after touching it.
“That’s great. Crookshanks has been in the store for a long time, and no one has asked for it.” The witch said happily. The cat was almost going to become a retained product and be produced and sold at home.
“Poor Crookshanks.” Hermione held Crookshanks in her arms and brushed his hair with one hand.
“Fortunately, my pet changed from a mouse to an owl, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.” Ron said.
“Do you need a cage?” Hermione had already paid. The price was not expensive, and there were three gold galleons left over from ten gold galleons.
“No, I think he doesn’t like staying in the cage.” Hermione asked Crookshanks, “Is that right, Crookshanks?”
Crookshanks narrowed his eyes and did not answer, but snored.
They were preparing to go back to the Leaky Cauldron when George and Fred appeared. They were carrying a stack of books and looking sad. It looked like they were not going well.
“Hi, Carney. Hi, Harry.” George and Fred greeted them.
“Where’s Percy?” Carney asked.
“He, he has prepared the textbooks for next semester early. He is busy now, busy studying how to better manage others.” Ron said, Percy has changed from a prefect to the president of the male student union.
They were going to have lunch at the Broken Ax pub, and Harry was generous with his money.
“Fred, are you ready to open a store so soon?” Carney was chatting with George Fred and the others.
“This is just preparation work, but it seems to require a lot of capital.” Fred said with a frown. They turned around a lot of points and inquired about the price of renting a shop. The rent in places with a lot of people was ridiculously high, and the key was that those who were originally Stores that are open will not be moved away without reason.
“Is that so? It doesn’t matter if you find a location that’s a little off. The aroma of wine doesn’t have to be in a deep alley.” Carney patted George on the shoulder.
“This makes sense. When our store opens, it will definitely attract a large number of customers.” Fred and George were convinced that their idea could make money.
They had already conducted a survey at school and found that the vast majority of students would pay for gadgets that could make people happy. There was not even a decent prank toy store in the entire Wizarding Street.
“I have good news for you. My funds are already in place. I’m just waiting for you to save your good ideas until graduation, and then they will skyrocket.”
“Really? How many? George and I have saved dozens of gold galleons.” Fred said, it was not easy for them to save so much.
“Ten thousand gold galleons.” Carney leaned close to their ears and whispered.
After hearing the news, George and Fred had already opened their mouths into an O shape, which was more than enough to stuff a duck egg.
“One…ten thousand galleons.” George just shouted when Fred pressed his shoulders to lower the volume.
“You don’t need to rent a store, just sell it directly.” Carney suggested.
“is this real?”
“Of course, this is the key to the vault. It’s my investment in you.” Carney gave the golden key to George. “If it’s not enough…”
“Enough! Of course it’s enough to buy several shops.” George said excitedly.
“Kani, you better take it. You can’t use it now. Ten thousand gold galleons are too heavy to hold in your hand.” George gave the key back to Kani. This is ten thousand gold galleons. Their family has ten thousand gold galleons. I can’t make that much money every year.
“So, just think of your ideas while you’re in class.” It turns out that they seemed to have gone out to open a store before graduating, which was a big pity.
A few days later, the whistle of the Hogwarts Express sounded at King’s Cross Station, and they once again boarded the red train bound for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
“This vacation is too short.” Ron sighed as he leaned on his chair. “Kani, if you learn ancient magic scripts, you might be able to visit the Egyptian pyramids. The spells on them are all ancient magic scripts.”
“But it’s such a pity that one of the largest pyramids was destroyed, and it’s forbidden to visit inside.” Ron said, “It was destroyed by planes that turned into big iron men. Some people saw them with their own eyes.”
Ron had already told his story about his summer vacation in Egypt several times before. Their biggest reward was winning the lottery from the Daily Prophet, which gave them a total of seven hundred gold galleons.
“It’s not unusual anymore. They live on the moon now. Maybe you can see them building houses when you look at the moon at night.” Hermione reported to Crookshanks. She lived in the Muggle world, and the network on TV The last big movie was all about this, and only people in the wizarding world with Ron knew very little about it.
“If you want to know about them, just ask Carney.” Harry said, “I’m also curious about Hogsmeade. We can finally go out on the weekend.”
“I read in a book that this is the only place in England where there are no Muggles.” Hermione replied, but that was all she knew.
