Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 170 The half-wasted Sirius

"pet?"

Harry thought for a moment, and it was true that Hermione had never had any pets until now.

So she suggested: "There is a magical animal store nearby, why don't you go and check it out?

I picked up a dog with magical animal blood some time ago, and now I have it in that store for inspection. "

Hermione readily agreed to Harry's proposal, and the two walked across the street to the Fantastic Beasts Shop.

When the two arrived at the store, they found that the store was empty.

The witch in the morning was not behind the counter. She only left a note saying, "The shop owner has something to do and is temporarily out of town."

Sirius was currently lying on the makeshift doghouse in the corner, with Crookshanks lying on his back.

The cat and the dog get along very harmoniously, and they are both sleeping soundly.

The moment Harry and Hermione entered the store, thanks to the keen intuition of animals, a cat and a dog woke up at the same time, raised their heads and looked at the door of the store.

Seeing that it was Harley with a strange little witch, Sirius stood up in excitement.

Crookshanks on him had no defense at all, and his head hit the cage next to him, and then fell to the ground.

The little white rabbit in the cage was so frightened that he passed out without saying a word.

"Meow——!" Crookshanks jumped up from the ground.

Although it doesn’t hurt, it’s so embarrassing! It wants revenge!

It howled angrily, showing its gleaming teeth: "Meow! Meow! Meow~!——!"

"Ouch?" Sirius howled, with confusion in his voice, and then he realized what he had done before.

"Woof woof woof!" Sirius whispered, finally calming Crookshanks' mood.

Then, like a real dog, Sirius ran to Harry's legs, sat down obediently, and stuck out his tongue.

"Black is so good." Harley leaned over and rubbed the dog's head, while Sirius licked Harley's fingers like a normal dog and barked twice excitedly.

"This is a Scottish deerhound I picked up wandering around. I named him Black."

Harry introduced to Hermione,

"Probably because he has the blood of some magical animals, Black is very human.

However, it seems that where I live there are no wizards nearby, so Black is most likely a dog raised by a certain Muggle family.

In this case, I can only say sorry to his original owner, after all, the magic cannot be leaked. "

"Indeed." Hermione hesitated and agreed with Harry's statement.

Although the Muggle family lost their property, the magic must not be leaked.

Besides, this might be a good thing for the dog's original owner.

After all, a magical dog is not something that ordinary people can control.

Sirius enjoyed Harry's touch, but his dog eyes quietly looked at Hermione.

"Is this Harley's best friend?" Sirius thought secretly, "Well, I can't control Harley, as long as she is happy."

Hermione's attention was quickly drawn to Crookshanks, who had been resting on Sirius' head.

There are obviously so many pets around, including hamsters that change colors, kittens that bite one by one, and obedient owls.

But Hermione took a liking to Crookshanks at first sight.

Although this proud cat was not very good-looking, it still attracted Hermione.

Crookshanks also listened to Hermione's words very much and quickly jumped into Hermione's arms.

"Harry, I've decided, I want to buy her." Hermione rubbed the cat's head and made a decision.

"No more Owls?"

"I won't buy it." Hermione said with a smile, "I'll just rub your Hedwig when the time comes."

Harry rolled his eyes, pulled out his wand, and conjured two chairs.

"It seems it will take some time for the boss to come back. Let's wait for a while." Harley sat down on the chair, and Sirius lay at her feet.

"Whether you buy Crookshanks, this cat is probably not cheap.

If I'm not mistaken, it has the blood of a cat. "

Hermione's face lit up as she recalled what she knew about Nemesis.

But she soon remembered something.

"It's her, not it." Hermione corrected with a serious look on her face, while stroking the little female cat lying on her lap.

"It's like when you call Black and Hedwig, you use he and she."

……

While waiting, the two of them chatted about everything.

Although Harry had already told Hermione the story of the Potions Championship, Fleur was present at that time.

Now that Fleur was away, Hermione insisted that Harry repeat the story.

Sirius on the side also listened with interest.

I didn't expect that my goddaughter would be so strong and completely inherit Lily's potion talent.

And the exquisite transformation technique before, how similar it is to James!

"By the way, Harley, what do you think of that Sirius Black?"

Hermione's shoes had fallen to the ground, her little feet in cotton socks were placed on the bench, her hands were wrapped around her bent legs, and her chin was on her knees.

And Crookshanks has been placed back on top of Sirius' head.

"What do you think? That Death Eater must be here to hunt me down."

Harry played with Sirius's dog ears, her voice nonchalant,

“Sirius is now about 33 years old and spent a full 12 years in prison, so he went to prison at the age of 21.

So, how many years has it been since he graduated from Hogwarts? How much did you learn? How much have you forgotten in the past 12 years?

I can kill the basilisk in the first half of this year, but a basically disabled Sirius is here to die? "

"Ouch!" The big dog at his feet suddenly howled, and Harley realized that she seemed to have curled the hair on his head into a ball.

"Sorry," Harry said quickly, letting go of Sirius' hair.

But that was not Sirius' main concern.

"Am I so weak?" Sirius lay on the ground dejectedly, "I am actually looked down upon by Harry..."

But thinking about the reasons why Harry received the Order of Merlin, Sirius had to admit that he was definitely no match for her without a wand now.

If nothing else, the second-year solo-killing basilisk... I can't afford to offend him, I really can't afford to offend him.

"Harry, your attitude is wrong!" Sirius himself was timid, but Hermione disagreed.

"Those are very vicious Death Eaters!

What if, and I mean what if, he learned some evil dark magic from Voldemort, how would you deal with it? "

Harry tilted his head, then concentrated on ravaging the dog's head at his feet, choosing not to argue with Hermione.

(Thanks to Jiuwei Yanhu for the tip!)

(ps. Regarding the pet gender issue, I should have used it with Hedwig before, but I can’t change it. I hope everyone can tolerate it.)

(ps. The original work is very strange. It did not mention the reason why Sirius was imprisoned, but only issued a wanted order. The author expressed his incomprehension.

Regarding age, according to the author's normal way of thinking, the wanted poster should state the age of the escaped prisoner, which can serve as a reference for the appearance of the escaped prisoner. )
