Chapter 278 Big-faced cat

The time spent studying during the summer vacation always goes by quickly.

As the school term is about to start, it is time to buy books for the new semester.

After making an appointment with her friends, Hermione did not call her parents. She was already proficient in Apparition, so it didn't take her long to go to Diagon Alley. Moreover, she was covered by the Supreme Wizard robe, so she didn't have to worry about being seen.

When Harry, Ron, and Neville saw Hermione again, it was no surprise that the three little boys once again experienced what it meant to be moved.

At the age of high production of teenage hormones, meeting a girl like Hermione who has already embarked on the road of evolution, it really feels like a thousand years at first sight.

However, Hermione enjoys the gazes of others, but she doesn't like to be looked at like this by her good friends. There is always a feeling of unnaturalness when a roommate comes to you and says "honey, you smell so good!".

She had to speak up to start a topic to ease the atmosphere.

Neville had nothing to say. He was a typical early bird. He stayed at home during the holidays to receive guidance from his grandmother. Ron had said before that he went to Egypt.

As for Harry, life always seemed to like to play jokes on him. He had a conflict with his aunt's family again, and blew up his uncle's guest into a balloon and sent it to the sky.

In the original plot, the Minister of Magic Fudge personally helped him deal with this matter. As a result, in this time and space, Harry offended the other party at school in the first half of the year, and finally Dumbledore came forward to solve the trouble he was accused of.

From then on, Harry lived in the Leaky Cauldron until the start of school.

"Brother, why didn't you mention these in the letter?" Ron asked.

"I don't think there's anything to say." Harry forced a smile.

"In fact, I have never understood. Doesn't Dumbledore know Harry's situation? Why must Harry live with his aunt?" Hermione frowned and said.

Perhaps the old headmaster left a bad impression on her, and she instinctively thought about "having a purpose".

The other three friends couldn't give a result for this question.

If you really want to explain, you can only say that Dumbledore doesn't care much about Harry.

"I wonder if he is using this method to train Harry's tenacity since childhood." Hermione gave a guess.

"I don't want this exercise!" Harry shook his head immediately.

"Why don't you move out and live near my house!" Ron suggested.

Hermione touched her chin and wanted to continue to speculate, but was interrupted by Lu Yuan: [Don't guess, it's because of the special magic on Harry. It was the protective magic condensed by Harry's mother's strong love for her son when she was dying. Only by staying with blood relatives can this magic last. Dumbledore is also protecting him. ]

This result really surprised Hermione, and she reluctantly gave the old headmaster a point.

"Okay, let's go buy books first."

Fate is always so coincidental. Even though Hermione has changed so much compared to the original plot, she still walked into the magic pet store on a whim when she passed by it, and chose Crookshanks in the original plot among the many magical pets that tried to please her.

It was a ginger cat with a big face, slightly bent legs, a flat face, and a temperament that looked lazy and irritable, but it was very honest in Hermione's arms.

With the magical power of "polar change", Lu Yuan could clearly feel the fluctuation of Hermione's luck at this moment. When Crookshanks was bought by Hermione, the little witch's luck rose slightly.

According to the way of heaven, this is called a constant, which often determines the general direction of events.

But it is not unchanging. Just like this time and space, Hermione's fate has long been led astray by Lu Yuan, but her luck has not decreased, but gradually increased. In addition to Lu Yuan's own status blessing, a big reason is Hermione's choice. With Lu Yuan's advice, Hermione can be regarded as embarking on a path of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil.

Luck naturally accumulates.

Hermione was very excited when she walked out of the pet shop. The big-faced cat in her arms was purring non-stop because of her caressing.

But when they met up with Harry and others, the big-faced cat, who had drooped his eyelids, suddenly became energetic. The cat's eyes as big as copper bells immediately stared at Ron's pet mouse Banban, as if he was ready to pounce at any time.

This scared Ron, "Hey! Hermione, your cat's eyes are a little wrong!"

"Crookshanks, are you hungry?" Hermione immediately took out the dried fish.

However, the big-faced cat raised his hand to slap it away, staring at Scabbers in Ron's arms.

"It's a pet, not food, Crookshanks, you can't eat it." Hermione explained patiently.

"Are you sure it understands, Hermione, why would you want to buy a cat that is so ugly, cough, I mean special?" Ron was a little embarrassed. He naturally wanted to stay next to Hermione, but the other cat seemed to be eyeing Scabbers, so he had to avoid it.

Of course, sacrificing Scabbers would be a good choice if he could win Hermione's heart.

Perhaps feeling some malice, Scabbers hiding in Ron's arms shuddered and burrowed into his clothes again.

After saying goodbye to her friends and returning home, Hermione was still wondering why Crookshanks was so hostile to Ron's Scabbers, and she asked Lu Yuan casually.

[Have you forgotten the bloodline of this big-faced cat? ]

"It's Crookshanks, Mr. Lu Yuan!"

Hermione emphasized with her hands on her hips, but also thought about Lu Yuan's hint.

The salesperson said that Crookshanks has some Kneazle blood.

And Kneazle is also a kind of magical creature, with high intelligence, tracking and positioning, and the ability to detect good and evil.

The first two abilities can be directly ruled out, so the only one that really affects Crookshanks' behavior is "detecting good and evil."

Hermione was a little puzzled by this conclusion. How could a mouse be good or evil?

......

Soon it was the first day of school. On the platform nine and three quarters, students and parents hugged and said goodbye.

Hermione and the other two dragged their luggage, squeezed through the corridor, and found a seemingly empty box.

But after entering, they found a person sleeping in the corner of the seat.

"Who is this?"

"Professor Lupin!"

"How do you know?"

Hermione pointed to the suitcase on the frame, "It's written on it."

Considering that there were no other empty boxes at this time, the three simply chose this place.

After sitting down, Hermione stared at Lupin for a few more times. After the second transformation, she not only became more sensitive, but also became extremely sensitive to the dark aura.

He could clearly feel the dark smell on the other person.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, this guy is not the same as Lockhart last school year, right?" Hermione asked vigilantly.

【Different, he is just more special, and his fate is more unfortunate. 】

Hermione's mind turned quickly, guessing: "I can feel that the darkness comes from him, not from the alchemical tools, so he is a vampire? A werewolf? Or a patient with the blood curse?"

[Slave of the Full Moon. 】

"I see."

Hermione's vigilance had already risen in her heart. She looked outside the box, "Where is Neville? Wasn't he still in the back just now?"

"He was pulled over by the schoolgirls." Ron laughed.

"What the hell?!"

"It's true. He is quite popular with the schoolgirls in Hufflepuff."

Hermione heard this and rarely gossiped.

At this time, Harry suddenly looked at Lupin who was covering his face, "Is he asleep?"

"I think so. What's wrong?" Hermione was curious.

"I want to tell you something." Harry stood up and closed the door of the box.
