Marvel's Hogwarts Wizards

Chapter 7 Hermione Granger

The Hogwarts stipend is one hundred Galleons per year, and there is no need to go to Gringotts to pick it up. Professor McGonagall has already brought it during his home visit.

There are three main currencies in the wizarding world: Galleons, Sickles and Knuts.

One gold galleon is equal to 17 silver Sickles, and one silver Sickle is equal to 29 copper nats (bad math means big head).

"There are a lot of things, Mr. Carmen, we may need to buy a big box first, and a small cart!"

Professor McGonagall pulled Jerry, who was looking around, through the dense crowd, and soon came to a shop selling sundries.

In this store, Jerry bought a super large suitcase, a small cart, a set of glass or crystal vials, a telescope and a brass scale.

Then they went to a crucible shop with a shiny "Partage" sign and bought a crucible (pewter, standard size 2).

"What pet do you want, an owl, a cat or a toad?"

After coming out of the Crucible Store, Professor McGonagall looked at the Ella Owl Store next to him and asked Jerry.

"pet?"

Jerry had a thoughtful look on his face.

In fact, Jerry really has no idea about keeping pets. After all, he didn't have the habit of keeping pets in his previous life.

"Little wizards now like owls, because they can help deliver letters and gifts, and they are relatively more practical!"

Professor McGonagall thought that Jerry didn't know much about pets, so he recommended the most popular pets at Hogwarts.

"Owl? Forget it, it's still a cat, I like cats better!"

Owls are indeed very practical for little wizards. They can help deliver letters and gifts. Relatively speaking, cats and toads seem to have no role other than eating.

But Jerry knew that in a pet treatment shop in Diagon Alley, there was a cat with the blood of a cat named Crookshanks.

It is the smartest cat evaluated by Sirius. Not only can it quickly detect corrupt or suspicious people, but it can also distinguish Annie Magus who has turned into an animal form.

Also, it is able to solve some problems on its own without help or guidance.

As a person with secrets, Jerry felt that if he had to keep a pet, it would be nice to have such a cat.

The point is, with Crookshanks present, Ron's mouse, Scabber, which was transformed from Peter Pettigrew, should not dare to approach him again.

As for owls, there are public owls in the school that can be used. It doesn’t cost money, so why raise one yourself.

And there is also an Owl Post Office outside.

"Cats? Few little wizards buy cats as pets now!"

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised when he heard Jerry's answer, but there was a smile on his face.

As an Annie Magus-turned-tabby wizard, Professor McGonagall certainly has a fondness for cats.

It's just that it's popular among little wizards to buy owls as pets now, and owls are indeed more helpful to little wizards than cats, so she recommends Jerry to buy owls.

However, if Jerry chooses a cat as a pet, she will be very happy.

"I prefer cats!"

Jerry shrugged and laughed.

"Okay, then we need to go to the Magic Zoo later, there are no other pets in this store except owls!"

Professor McGonagall gave a rare smile, and then took Jerry to Mrs. Magic Gold's robe shop opposite the owl shop.

"You go in and try on clothes first, I'll go next door and buy books for you, and then we'll go to the Magic Zoo ahead to buy pets!"

"no problem!"

Jerry nodded and walked straight into Mrs. Magic Gold's robe shop.

"What a brave little guy!"

McGonagall saw that Jerry showed no cowardice except curiosity in this strange environment, and he didn't even hesitate to go to the store to try on clothes alone, so he couldn't help sighing secretly.

"Are you going to buy a Hogwarts school uniform, my dear?"

As soon as Jerry opened the door and walked into the store, a short and fat witch greeted him with a big smile.

"Yes, I need three sets of plain wizard robes, a plain peaked hat for daytime use, a pair of dragonhide protective gloves, and a black silver-buttoned cloak for winter, thank you!"

Facing the inquiry from the chunky witch, Jerry politely said one by one according to the requirements he had seen on the parchment.

"Oh, don't worry, we have a lot of them here. To be honest, there is a little girl trying clothes here right now!"

The chubby witch smiled and pointed to the back of the shop.

Jerry followed the chubby witch's fingers to see a little girl with thick, unkempt brown curly hair and a pair of rabbit-like front teeth was standing on the footstool.

A witch next to her was pinning up her black robe and measuring something with a measuring tape.

"Hey, did you go to Hogwarts too?"

When Jerry stood on the footstool next to him and was also put on a black robe by the witch and began to measure, the little girl next to him asked him in a somewhat domineering tone.

"Yes, I am a freshman this year!"

Jerry smiled.

If Jerry was an eleven-year-old boy, he would be a little offended if a girl his age spoke to him in an aggressive tone.

But in fact, Jerry's previous life plus the eleven years after time travel, he is already an old man in his early forties according to his age.

So when he saw a little girl talking to him in a domineering tone, he only felt that the little girl was quite cute.

"Me too, no one in my family knows magic, so when I got the offer I was utterly surprised, but also delighted, because, I mean, it's the best school I know. magic school!"

The little girl seemed a bit talkative, so she chatted with Jerry while she was standing on the footstool and couldn't move.

"It seems that you know quite a lot!"

Jerry complimented him very cooperatively.

The little girl raised her chin proudly:

"Of course, when that Professor McGonagall came to my house yesterday, I asked a lot of questions, and I have decided to memorize all the textbooks before the school starts, and I will definitely become the wizard with the best grades by then!"

"Oh, that's for sure. I can tell at a glance that you are not an ordinary person. You will definitely become an excellent wizard in the future. Come on!"

Jerry stretched out his hand from under the black robe, gave Xiao Gunian a thumbs up, and said with a smile in his heart:

"What a funny little girl!"

"Hermione, is your place all right? We've got everything except the textbooks now!"

At this moment, the store door was pushed open, and a middle-aged couple walked into the house with a trolley, shouting to the little girl who was chatting with Jerry.
