Jing Shen Tian Si
Harry and Ron seemed to hit it off right away, chatting casually in the carriage.
Aaron hugged Abe, leisurely looking at the scenery outside, feeling the rare breath of freedom.
At this moment, there was a sudden 'click' sound from outside the box, and a fat saleswoman pushed a cart full of various snacks, looked at the three of them, and asked, "Do you want to buy something, kids?"
"No, thank you, I brought it." Ron took out a sandwich wrapped in a transparent oilcloth with some embarrassment.
"I'm not hungry." Aaron said, and then he suddenly thought of something, and glanced at the pet in his arms, "But let's have some!"
The fat woman smiled happily: "Okay, sir, what do you need?
We have multiflavored beans, chocolate frogs, pies, cakes..."
"You don't need to say that much." Aaron was a little impatient, and took out a Galleon, "Just the four things you said! Three people are enough."
"Oh, wait a minute."
The fat woman started rummaging in her cart, then put a pile of snacks on the table in the box, and found Aaron a few Sickles along the way.
"Wow!" Ron's eyes widened. "Aaron, what does your family do? You look so rich."
"Actually, it's nothing, just a small business."
"It's casual, what you gave just now was Garen!" Ron asked in astonishment, "I probably don't have that much pocket money for a year."
The corner of Aaron's mouth twitched, and he always felt that this guy looked like he had never seen money, "Um... I think it may be because you have four brothers and sisters in your family, so the cost is relatively high!"
Ron nodded silently when he heard the words, "Actually, you don't fully understand. I have five older brothers and one younger sister."
Aaron: …
No wonder this kid's pocket money is less than one Galleon.
An already poor family has to raise seven children, which is making things worse!If you don't plan carefully, you may not be able to survive.
"I just thought your mother was great, able to take care of seven children.
But I didn't expect your father to be even greater, able to support your family with one person's salary. "
"what do you mean?"
"It's nothing, I'm just simply expressing my admiration for your father.
Yes, that's right, admiration. "Aaron said, and then pointed to the snacks on the table, "Don't be dumbfounded, both of you. If you want to eat, you are welcome, but remember to leave a few pies for my family Abe. It would be better if there are meat fillings. "
Ron couldn't help but look at the white cat, "Your pet is so cute! I only have one mouse, and Percy threw it away."
As he spoke, he took out a fat gray mouse from his pocket, "It's called Scabbers, and it's hopeless. It only eats and sleeps all day long."
Aaron immediately moved his body back, trying to distance himself from the mouse as much as possible.
On the contrary, Abe in his arms seemed to smell some disgusting smell, showing a vigilant and disgusted expression, pointing at the sleeping mouse with a white paw, grinning continuously.
Ron immediately took his pet back. He almost forgot that Aaron's pet was a cat, and there was no difference between taking out the mouse in front of the cat and feeding it.
"Don't worry, my Abe doesn't eat mice." Aaron comforted Abe with a wry smile, and looked at the mouse with some scrutiny.
After all, Abe is a holy dragon, not a cat, and it shouldn't be an ordinary mouse that can make it react like this, or...not a mouse at all.
But this has nothing to do with him, even if Ron also raises a magical creature that he has never seen before like him, it's nothing!
Only then did Ron put Banban on the table in peace of mind, and then enjoyed the food with peace of mind.
As for the sandwich he brought, he threw it aside a long time ago, so what is it compared to these snacks?
Harry picked up a packing box, glanced at it, and put the beans in it into his mouth. Then he felt an indescribable taste, and the expression on his face became weird.
"That's Bibi's Beans, they come in all sorts of flavors," said Ron, "chocolate mint, spinach, tripe, liver.
George says he's had snotty ones too. "
"Ouch!" Aaron suddenly felt a little nauseous, and immediately put this snack into the blacklist.
Harry silently spit out the multi-flavored beans in his mouth and threw them into the trash can. He felt that most of what he ate was snot-smelling.
After a while, Harry picked up another five-pointed star box with chocolate frogs written on it, and asked curiously, "Is there really a frog in here?"
"That's understandable." Aaron laughed.
"This is magic. I usually buy this kind of snacks for the pictures inside. Every pack has pictures of great magicians. I have already collected more than 500 pictures." Ron said.
Harry unpacked it, and a frog croaked in the carriage. The eyes of the pure chocolate-colored frog moved slightly, and then jumped towards the glass window.
But when it jumped into the air, Abe jumped up and grabbed it in his hand, proudly putting the piece of chocolate into his mouth.
"Cough cough!"
Aaron coughed lightly, and Abe stopped in embarrassment.
"Eat, but be careful, I don't want your mouth to be full of chocolate." Aaron laughed.
Abe was stunned for a moment, raised his paws and shattered the chocolate frog, and then put small pieces into his mouth.
This scene stunned Harry and Ron.
They have seen cats, but they have never seen such a smart, human cat.
"Aaron, how much did you pay for this cat? Isn't it very expensive?" Ron asked in a daze. He silently compared Abe and Scabbers, and suddenly felt that the mouse was not good, even though it was originally Not fragrant.
"This is left by the elders in my family...it should be!" Aaron said with a strange expression. He didn't know how to say it, but this was the meaning expressed in the dragon's license.
"I don't know how much it's worth, but I know I wouldn't sell it for any amount."
"So that's the case!" Ron said angrily, "By the way, what's your last name?"
"Gaius, I am from the Gaius family."
Ron was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't heard of this surname much.
Harry picked up the picture in the box. On it was an old man with a white beard and glasses. He looked very kind, but his nose was a little crooked. What was miraculous was that the picture on the picture was still moving, which was impossible in the Muggle world. less than.
And the name on the card is: Albus Dumbledore.
"It's Dumbledore, I already have six." Ron laughed.
Harry smiled, and when he looked down at the picture again, the image on it had disappeared, which was a bit of a novelty for a child who had just come into contact with the wizarding world.
"He's gone?"
"He's not going to be there all day, is he?" said Ron. "He'll be back."
"There is no need to be so serious, our headmaster is Dumbledore.
Looking at real people is definitely more realistic than looking at pictures. "
Even though he said so, Harry still put the picture away by some mysterious accident.
The train passed through the woods and fields, and came to a plain. Outside the car window was a lake, and the sparkling light made people feel calm.
Perhaps Aaron would have been in a better mood if a mouse hadn't been nibbling at the food on the table.
"Ron, could you ask your mouse to be quiet if it's okay?"
"Um, sorry to bother you." Ron lifted the mouse from the table awkwardly. "By the way, the spell Fred taught me can turn it yellow. I'll show you two."
"Okay! Apart from Hagrid, I haven't seen any other wizards cast spells!" Harry showed great interest.
Aaron nodded too. After all, magic shows can also add a little fun to this not-so-long journey.
Aaron hugged Abe, leisurely looking at the scenery outside, feeling the rare breath of freedom.
