The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

"But Ron, you can't directly change food for your little pet."

Hagrid was an absolute expert in animal husbandry, and no one in Hogwarts would want to question his breeding advice.

Such a big magical animal can be raised in his hands and become fat and docile, let alone an old mouse.

"It can't be changed directly, so what should I do?" Ron looked at a loss, he was really inexperienced in this matter.

"Haha, you're asking the right person," Hagrid stroked his shaggy beard in satisfaction, his tone full of excitement, and someone finally asked him about it.

"Suddenly changing the nutritional structure, the little guys will have gastrointestinal discomfort, and they have to change food for seven days."

"Seven days for food?" Harry and Ron were a little confused.

"That's right, gradually increase the new grain by a quarter and reduce the old grain."

After Hagrid finished speaking, seeing Ron still tilted his head in confusion, realizing that what he had said was too vague.

"Oh, to put it simply, the new food in the first two days only accounts for a quarter, the next two days account for less than half of the new food, and the next two days account for three-quarters, and then you can completely feed the new food. "

Harry and Ron looked at each other. It didn't sound very simple, but they also understood the meaning.

The main problem is that Ron doesn't know the total amount of food when he keeps feeding leftovers.

Anyway, Ban Ban seems to be able to eat up whatever is given, and sometimes the mouse seems to sneak out to steal food when given too little.

Ron immediately figured it out: "It's no wonder you're so fat. You should put it back in the cage after feeding, or you'll have to steal it again."

It just so happened that Hagrid gave him a cage last time, and Scabbers could barely turn around in it.

Hearing what Ron said, Sissy nodded desperately, and she couldn't agree more. She didn't expect this at all.

As for the gradual change of food, isn't it only seven days, small meaning, the days will be longer in the future, let's see who can survive.

Sissy felt much better when she thought of the hardships she had suffered, not being able to touch Voldemort, and not being able to control a mouse.

And Ron is quite happy, and the relationship has been further shortened, killing two birds with one stone, how can I be so good?

Sissy was a little flustered.

Even when he went back, he was humming a ditty.

At night, Ron lost his temper in the dormitory.

"Scattered! I'm doing this for you, you know? You're so fat." Ron shouted, pointing at the fat and muddy Scabbers.

"What about Harry, it won't eat the feed."

"Then go hungry. Hagrid's feed must be healthy and delicious. Scabbers just doesn't get used to it, but if you get used to it, he won't be able to change it."

Harry watched Ron and his big rat spend a lot of time talking to no avail, and suddenly thought that it was great that Hagrid gave him a Hideaway.

She is well-behaved and capable, can deliver letters, is soft to hug, and can be a bosom friend when she has something on her mind.

But Ron had only one fat mouse, and now he had finally made up his mind to lose weight on his mouse, and of course Harry supported it.

Ron persisted for a while, and even tried to open Scabbers' mouth forcefully, but failed in the end.

"It will eat by itself when it's hungry, Ron, don't worry too much, let's think about the homework on the weekend, I have to go to Quidditch training tomorrow, I don't have much time."

Ron sighed and sat down sullenly on the ground.

"What's wrong with you, Ron, you look so ugly?"

"I feel so pitiful, really." Ron didn't want to stand up at all.

Harry quickly pulled Ron up from the ground, "Is there something wrong, I can help you, or Hagrid, Sissy and the others can help you."

"I'm not afraid that you will look down on me. All my things are old, used by my brothers, even my only pet."

"Look at Sissy, don't talk about the Ravenclaw family must have a lot of background, just look at how much Snape likes her, the potion she took out today is worth taking it to the store without talking about it." A few hundred galleons more."

"And Hagrid, just because the unicorn hair is strong, it's used as a pendant, and as a bandage, it's just used casually."

"And they don't know how rich they are, but I'm really envious."

The two were silent for a while.

"Ron, do you know what we envy you the most?" Harry spoke first.

"I've never met my parents. Hagrid's mother abandoned him early. Sissy also said that her father is away all year round, and she might not see her once a year."

Ron's eyes turned red, "I'm sorry, Harry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of those things."

"But we can't change these, we can only do what we should do." Harry didn't look like a child at all when he said this.

"Harry... I will always be with you." Ron felt very uncomfortable, and his own grievances were nothing compared to him.

"If you don't want to go back there during the holidays, come to my house. My parents will definitely be willing to recognize you as a son, so we will be brothers."

Seeing that Harry wasn't so sad anymore, Ron racked his brains for anything else to say to make him happy.

"By the way, there is also little sister, you are her idol, if you are willing to come over, Harry, she will definitely pass out with joy."

"Really?" Of course Harry would be happy, given the choice, who would want to go back to Dursley's and be a servant.

"Of course, I swear to Merlin." Ron raised his wand as if to swear.

"That would be great!" Harry couldn't be happier just imagining his holiday life, a wizarding family, and a family with many children who were still happy, he had never seen.

"Come on, I'll feed Banban for you. I'll open his mouth. If you stuff the feed in, I don't believe he can stop eating. This is for his own good."

Harry was so excited at the moment that he didn't even think about whether he would be bitten by a mouse, even if he took a few more bites.

Banban heard their conversation, turned around and wanted to run away.

But Harry can even catch a golden snitch, and even a fat mouse can't escape. He reached out and grabbed the fat at the back of Scabbers' neck, and lifted it up.

Only screams of "Zhi Zhi" could be heard in the dormitory.

"We're here for you!" Harry and Ron said in unison.
