Chapter 14 It’s a good habit to close the door easily

In the wizarding world, rats are the cheapest of the designated pets at Hogwarts. Naturally, they have a wide audience, and of course there are many little witches among them.

However, most of them will choose those hamsters that have the same price but have beautiful coats, well-behaved personalities, and cute looks. Then there are the black mice that can live longer, and the white mice that look cleaner.

This was the first time Kyle had met a little witch who liked this kind of ordinary field mouse, and judging from her dress, she didn't look like a wizard who was short of money.

After spending eleven years in the magical world, Kyle has some experience.

Although this girl's clothes are not that gorgeous, the fabrics are extremely elegant and the workmanship is exquisite. In addition, the iconic pattern on the cuffs must be from the Extraordinary Wizard Clothing Store.

That place was much more expensive than Madam Malkin, with a starting price of twenty galleons.

How can you not afford a better pet if you can spend money there?

It seems that the other party really likes this mouse.

No wonder she came to find him.

Mouse tonic in Diagon Alley? To put it bluntly, that stuff is just sugar water. Its properties are similar to those of energy drinks. It's fine for refreshing you, but don't expect it to be of much use.

Although the other party's aesthetics were indeed somewhat unique, Kyle did not make too much of a fuss, and the expression on his face did not change at all.

Don't forget that there are ruthless people in the wizarding world who like Acromantulas.

He had seen that thing once in Newt's box. How should I put it, that appearance basically challenged normal human beings' three views. It was the kind that would become a shadow of childhood as long as one glance at it.

Anyway, Kyle was so disgusted that he didn't enter Newt's box for a whole year after that.

In comparison, it's so normal for a little witch to like field mice.

…

Soon, Kyle took out a thumb-sized bottle from the suitcase and handed it over. "I'll give you this bottle. If you think it's effective, come back. But then you'll be charged. The price may be a bit expensive, one Sickle, but it's definitely worth the money."

"Thank you, thank you."

The little girl named Kangna hurriedly reached out to take the bottle, but she did not leave after that. Instead, she continued to stand there, looking at the bottle in her hand, and then at Kyle, her little face full of tangles.

"What, don't you think it's enough?"

Kyle thought she thought it was too little, so he explained: "It's not that I'm stingy, the main thing is to try the effect first, and the dosage of Mouse Tonic is not that much, just two or three drops at a time. Although this bottle is not much, it is enough for you." It’s been a month.”

"No, no, I didn't mean that."

After hearing Kyle's words, Kangna shook her head repeatedly, and then whispered under the gaze of Kyle and Cedric: "I'm not too short, I want the red one."

Red?

Cedric on the side noticed that the rat tonic in Connor's hand was a relatively turbid orange-yellow color, a bit like mashed orange pudding.

The one Kyle gave to Percy before was crystal clear red without any impurities.

It's obviously the same thing, but the appearance is so different, and anyone can see that the crystal clear red is much better than this turbid orange.

Even if it's free, you can't be fooled like this.

For a moment, the way Cedric looked at Kyle changed.

Sure enough, a profiteer like Kyle would definitely be assigned to Azkaban.

At this time, Kangna seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly took out an exquisite small handbag.

"That...I can buy it."

Kangna shook her handbag gently, and a pile of gold galleons clattered onto the table.

A total of thirty-three gold galleons, and a few Sickles.

This scene almost made Cedric's eyes pop out.

He only had ten gold galleons in one semester. Thirty-three gold galleons, excluding fractions, was three times his amount.

Is it sour? It must be sour, but Cedric can bear it. After all, with his character, he doesn't care so much about the amount of Galleons, as long as it's enough.

But Kangna's actions in the next second caused him to break through his defense.

"Is that all there is left?" Kangna looked a little disappointed, biting her lip and said softly: "It doesn't matter, if it's not enough, I can also get it from Gringotts. As long as it can keep Porky alive longer, how much? Galleons are fine."

Still, more? ?

The corner of Cedric's mouth couldn't help but twitch twice. At this moment, he was really frightened by these inhuman words.

Listen, any number of Galleons is enough...

It would be fine if it were an adult wizard, but if a first-year freshman said this, it would be a bit too much.

Or is this the daily life of Slytherin?

Learned a lot.

On the other side, Kyle was in no mood to care about Cedric's thoughts. He hesitated to speak and looked at Kangna, feeling dizzy.

I know my own business, and things like rat tonic should be this orange-yellow color.

As for Percy's bottle, it had added ingredients, and a normal mouse would probably get cold on the spot after drinking it.

But the problem is that he can't say it, and looking at the look on Kangna's face, she seems to have decided that he has the tonic that can extend the life of the mouse. She must have listened to what Percy said word for word.

In this situation, unless the truth is told, Kyle can't explain it clearly.

"That...Kanna, that's it."

Kyle thought for a while and said: "The special rat tonic is too strong to be drunk directly. Before that, ordinary tonics must be used to strengthen the rat's physique."

To drag, just drag hard.

This was the only solution Kyle could think of.

What if he says no, or he can't handle it, and the other party turns around and goes to Newt, that would be a lot of fun.

Newt is hard to find, but Dumbledore is at Hogwarts. In the wizarding world, even a three-year-old child knows how close the two of them are.

Since Connor was wearing extraordinary clothes, she couldn't possibly be a Muggle. If she found Dumbledore, she might actually be able to meet Newt.

"I wish I had known to close the door when Percy came." Kyle rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly in his mind.

Fortunately, this matter is not difficult to solve. All we have to do is go to Dorset during the Hogwarts holiday.

He remembered that Newt once brewed a tonic for Motla rats. The body structure of this magical animal was very similar to that of a field mouse. Basically, the rats in the pet store had some Motla rat blood.

Just like a cat and a cat.

So when the time comes, it can be used directly after diluting it slightly. It will definitely be no problem to make an ordinary mouse live for at least three to five years longer.

"I will give Pochi the tonic on time."

Kangna did not doubt his presence and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Kyle smiled and handed over a chocolate frog: "Eat some chocolate, it will make you feel more relaxed."

"No, no need, I can buy it myself."

Kangna glanced at the chocolate frog, then immediately looked away, holding the hem of her robe with both hands. That way, he looked like a child receiving red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, looking eager but embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, just take it." Kyle smiled and said, "Just think of it as a meeting gift. I hope we can become classmates."

"……Thanks."

Hearing what Kyle said, Kangna blushed and took the chocolate frog, but she didn't eat it, but carefully put it away.
