Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 169 The sanctioned naughty kid

A big ginger cat jumped out from the top of the highest cage and pounced on Harley's head.

However, Harley turned her head deftly, and the big cat failed to touch Harley and directly hit Sirius behind her.

"Ouch!——" Sirius let out a shrill scream and violently threw the big cat off his head.

The big cat landed smoothly and grinned at Sirius. It stood up straight and looked menacing.

"No, Crookshanks, don't do that!" cried the witch, but Crookshanks paid no attention to her.

However, Sirius had already been appeased by Harry, and now he hid obediently behind Harry's robe, sticking out only a dog's head.

"What a funny cat," Harley admired the big cat with fluffy and soft fur.

For a face-conscious person, this cat’s feet are a bit boxy, and it has a gloomy expression and a weird persimmon face.

Overall, facial-conscious people will definitely not like this cat.

But Harley found it interesting.

"Hmm, a touch of magic power, with the blood of magical animals? A catnive?"

Harley remembered that Nekos could predict danger and detect those with bad moral character.

At this time, the big cat named Crookshanks, who had the blood of a cat, no longer grinned, and began to magically communicate with Blake behind her.

This made Harry more and more certain that the Scottish deerhound behind him had the blood of a magical animal and was dangerous, but his moral character was not corrupt.

Crookshanks' previous reaction was just a subconscious move in the face of danger, and he soon made friends with Blake.

Seeing that the cat and the dog were settled down, Harry and the witch began to discuss the examination of the dog.

After a short period of bargaining, Harley ordered a full set of three-day examinations for Sirius, including whether he had any diseases, whether his bloodline was stable, etc.

After paying the money, Sirius was left there while Harry left the pet store.

The weather is nice and sunny outside.

It was not yet nine o'clock in the morning, and Harry and Hermione had arranged to meet at nine-thirty.

Harry chose to wait outside Florin Fusco's Ice Cream Parlor and ordered a raspberry cream ice cream.

The Fosker boss is also a man with a good background. One of his ancestors was once the headmaster of Hogwarts and the most capable wizard of that era.

Unfortunately, when he was enjoying his retirement life after leaving office, he was killed by an unknown person, his body was not found, and his wand was also taken away.

This was sensational news at the time, and no one has solved the case to this day.

However, the Fusco family inexplicably stopped pursuing the matter.

It is said that someone came to tell them that the murderer had been killed and presented enough evidence to win their trust.

Both the Ministry of Magic and its predecessor, the Wizarding Council, have always kept a respectful distance from matters related to this very ancient pure-blood family.

So the matter was left to become an unsolved case, quickly forgotten, and the relevant files left to gather dust in the Ministry of Magic.

By Florin's generation, all the descendants of the old Florin had gone to Germany.

He opened this ice cream shop in Diagon Alley alone.

Harley was enjoying the sweet cream under the umbrella outside the ice cream shop. One portion was not enough, so she ordered another.

This aspect of the witch is really good, no matter how much you eat, you won’t get fat.

It was half past nine and Hermione arrived on time.

"Harry!" She waved her hand from a distance.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Hermione trotted over and suddenly noticed the ice cream box on the table.

"I've only been here for a while." Harley lied.

Noticing Hermione's gaze, she added, "I just eat ice cream faster."

"You can't eat it like this!" Hermione habitually crossed her hands on her chest. "Eating too much ice cream can easily lead to tooth decay and cold..."

Hermione began to ramble until Harry suddenly stuck a magic rainbow popsicle in her mouth and dragged Hermione out of the ice cream shop.

After Hermione exchanged the money, the two strolled around Diagon Alley.

Hermione had to go to Flourish and Blotts first because she had taken all her electives and needed to buy a lot of books.

There were not many people in Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore at this time. There was a large cage placed behind the glass window of the bookstore. Inside, there were neatly arranged and tightly tied volumes of "The Monster Book of Monsters".

There is a sign next to the cage with a line of large characters written in red paint:

"It is forbidden to tamper with the "Monster Book of Monsters" at will! Violators will be responsible for the consequences!"

"What's going on?" Hermione looked at this brand new exhibit and felt a little curious.

"Oh, two stupid guys were punished." Harry suppressed a smile and explained to Hermione.

The last time Harry came to buy books, the boss had a very bad feeling about these "Monster Books of Monsters".

After all, these books are constantly fighting in a cage, and there are even cases where two books team up to tear the third one in half.

And if the clerk wants to pick up books for customers, he must wear thick leather gloves and hold a long stick. Even doing so carries the risk of being bitten.

In the eyes of the boss, this is all money!

And Harley did a small favor for the boss at that time, helping him to tie up all the books and tie them up.

The boss got excited and promised Harley a 30% discount on all the books she bought within a year.

Originally, the matter ended here, but when Crabbe and Goyle from Slytherin came to buy books, they ignored the clerk's dissuasion and went to pick up the books themselves.

Moreover, the two of them looked silly, but they turned out to be very capable with their hands, and they easily removed the ropes that bound the books in the cage.

These books that had been bound for a long time suddenly became active, unleashing their resentment and biting Crabbe and Goyle with wounds all over their bodies.

The last two even compensated Flourish and Blott Bookstore a sum of money. After all, the actual owner of this store was also a pureblood and not easy to mess with.

And Harley also made a small profit, helping the boss re-bundle the books, and upgraded the 30% discount to 50% off.

Harry used his own discount to help Hermione buy a lot of books, which were all stuffed into Harry's non-marking stretch bag.

Otherwise, so much stuff could definitely fill three cowhide bags.

After visiting pharmacies and stationery stores, and accompanying Hermione to order a brand new school uniform, Hermione looked down at the list:

“I should have thirty-four gold galleons left, which is not bad, more than I thought.

Looks like I can go buy a nice birthday present. "

"How about buying another good book?" Harley touched the books in the bag and asked with a smirk.

"Forget it." Hermione rolled her eyes, "I want to buy a pet."

(Thanks to Nine-tailed Yanhu and the coins on the ground for the reward!)

(ps. Florin’s ancestor, Dexter Fusco, is suspected of once possessing the Elder Wand, and Florin was arrested and tortured by Voldemort for this reason.)
