NOVEL NEXT Chapter 061
Chapter 61: Of course, buying a mouse is feeding the owl.
In order to prevent Harry Potter from sending him away, Leonard had no choice but to take Harry Potter with him to stroll around Diagon Alley.
There is nothing exaggerated about walking down the street with Harry Potter. Not everyone would make strange noises and run up to Harry Potter to ask for a photo or autograph.
In fact, almost no one noticed that this little boy was the savior who defeated Voldemort.
And Harry Potter was not arrogant because of his fame. He had long been accustomed to the feeling of not being taken seriously by others as he struggled to survive in his aunt and uncle’s house.
At this time, he just felt very free and comfortable, especially after spending several days studying magic day and night in his room, he went out shopping with his friends. This feeling was so refreshing.
The morning is the busiest time in Diagon Alley, and many shops are already open for business.
And that’s when Leonard’s torture began
”look! Leonard, that’s the place that sells Quidditch supplies. I heard that Quidditch is wizards’ favorite sport!”
”It’s a candy store. I haven’t been to a candy store here yet. Do you want to check it out? Leonard?”
”What does this store do? Uh…it smells so bad, huh? Leonard, is that boss greeting you? Shall we go in?”
”Leonard……”
”……Leonard”
…………
Leonard regretted it. He felt that he should not have invited Harry Potter to visit Diagon Alley together. It was really noisy.
Leonard could understand Harry Potter’s enthusiasm. After all, Harry Potter had not had many friends since he was a child, which resulted in his habit of treating others as friends wholeheartedly if they were kind to him.
Fortunately, Harry Potter still had a sense of proportion. After Leonard clearly refused him to go to: candy shop, cold drink shop, pharmacy and other places, he did not mention it again, but happily followed Leonard all the way..
He looks like a silly son of a landlord.
The two of them walked for more than 20 minutes through the downtown area of Diagon Alley and arrived at a shop selling magical animals.
Before they even saw the Magic Zoo sign, the two of them smelled an unpleasant odor.
”It smells really bad in here.”Harry Potter said while covering his nose.
”The shops selling animals are all the same.”Leonard said as he looked around the store.
At the door of the store there were some magical animals used as display products, including turtles with gems on their shells, giant orange snails, and some unknown creatures that looked like furry dolls with rubber-like bodies. The same elastic rabbits, cats of different colors and big gray and black mice.
Leonard nodded when he saw the big mouse, quite satisfied.
Harry Potter looked at those animals curiously, his fingers ready to move., seems to want to touch these strange-looking animals
”Don’t touch it randomly, it may be poisonous.”Leonard noticed the savior’s little hand that had nowhere to rest and reminded him.
”That’s right.” At this time, a man wearing a linen robe walked out of the shop. He looked about thirty or forty years old, slightly fat, with a kind expression.
”Many magical animals are dangerous, so it’s best not to touch magical animals you don’t know, even if they appear friendly.”
”Thanks for reminding. Harry Potter said politely
”You are welcome.”The man smiled, and his eyes suddenly f
ell on Harry Potter’s face. The sudden change in his expression gave Leonard a premonition…
Sure enough, the man’s expression became wonderful.
”Oh, Merlin’s beard, you are Harry Potter! The man said excitedly and leaned forward slightly,”It’s an honor to meet you. I’m the owner of this store. My name is Burton Philim.””
”Hello Mr. Philim, I’m Harry Potter and this is my friend Leonard William.”Harry Potter said.
The two started chatting happily, leaving Leonard, who really planned to go shopping, to hold his forehead helplessly.
The title of savior is really troublesome.
After chatting with Harry Potter for a while, the boss Philim Only then did he realize that there was another person. He nodded at Leonard sheepishly,”Sorry, I’m a little too excited. Are you two here to buy magical animals as pets?””
”It was Leonard who wanted to buy something. Harry Potter said and looked at Leonard,”Leonard, what do you want to buy?””
”How do you sell mice?”Leonard asked, pointing to a group of black rats in the cage.
”Do you want to buy a mouse?”Harry Potter bent down and looked at the rats in the cage. Although these rats were relatively clean, it was still quite scary to treat such harmful animals as pets.
”These mice are very healthy little guys. Thirteen cats are worth one. But since you are a friend of Harry Potter, I can give you a discount. Ten cats.”Filim said generously.
Harry Potter was a little embarrassed by what he said. He was about to say something thank you when he heard Leonard’s calm voice.”If I buy more, can I get another discount??”
”Buy more? How much do you want? Philim asked doubtfully.
”Let’s buy twelve first.”Leonard thought for a while and said.
The twelve animals were divided into three batches to make a rough control variable. One batch was used as a blank control, one batch was given ordinary Aconitum, and one batch was given enhanced Aconitum fruit to compare the effects of the enhanced Aconitum fruit. toxicity
”Leonard, what do you want with all these rats?”Harry Potter asked in surprise.
There were so many rats in a cage that made him feel numb.
Before Leonard could answer, Philim over there answered.
”Oh, are you planning to do a potion experiment? He seems to be an easy-to-learn little wizard.”Philim was not frightened by the number.
Wizards keep rats or toads as animals for experimental potions. There are very few people who actually treat rats as pets.
”No.”Leonard doesn’t like others to guess his thoughts.”Actually, I plan to buy it to feed my owls. Compared with the dry mouse feed from the Eeyore Owl Shop, I think it is healthier for mice to eat.”
”Ah this……”Philim was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to say,”Sounds good.”
Feed the owl?
Harry Potter immediately thought of his own Hedwig. He seemed to have been feeding his own owl nuts, which was not good.
”Then give me ten of them too.”Harry Potter said,”I think it’s time to change the taste of my owl.”
”Oh well.”Philim took the mouse from the cage with a confused look on his face. For a moment, he doubted whether he was selling animals or feed. After buying the mouse, Leonard went to Giggs to buy it on the way back. He picked up a new Aconitum, and then returned to the Leaky Cauldron with the cage and Harry Potter.
After saying goodbye to Harry Potter at the door of the room, Leonard put the mouse aside and prepared to start his experiment.
