Chapter 8: “Crookshanks”
Lets be friends, my na is Hermione Granger!
Jerry was approached by Hermione, who extended her right hand. The young boy in front of her seed to fit her perfectly and was unlike any of the other students she had ever encountered.
Jerry Carn! Jerry was first surprised by Hermiones introduction, but he quickly got over it and extended his hand to shake hers.
Jerry, Im going to buy textbooks, see you when school starts! Hermione returned to her parents, waved to Jerry, and left Madam Malkins robe store.
Ill see you when school starts.
The mont the Hermione family had totally vanished, Jerrys face grew puzzled. Is that thick, curling brown hair actually her?
In comparison to the movies he has seen, this looks to be a little bit different. He recalls how stunning Hermione looked in the film. But speaking of it, the young girl he just t ought to be attractive as well if she had her hair styled and her front teeth straightened.
In spite of the fact that the young girl has large eyes and otherwise normal facial features, she lacks fashion sense and her front teeth detract from her appearance.
Dear, its ready. The chubby Mrs. Malkin arrived at Jerry ten minutes later with a bag containing Hogwarts outfits.
Okay thank you! Jerry paid the fee, put the clothes into the suitcase, pulled the trolley and opened the door, and walked out of Madam Malkins robe store.
Professor McGonagall!
Jerry waved imdiately when he noticed Professor McGonagall approaching him while holding a bundle of magic books as soon as he stepped outside.
Okay, the only items remaining are pets and wands. Lets first visit the Magic nagerie as Ollivanders Wand Shop lies at the end of Diagon Alley.
Professor McGonagall placed the magic book in the luggage and then picked up Jerry and the cart to continue exploring Diagon Alley. When passing by Florins Cold Drinks, he also bought Jerry a Barley ice cream.
Thats Gringotts Bank, a wizarding bank run by goblins. If you need to store valuables in the future, you can also co to this bank. Its very safe.
Professor McGonagall watched Jerry set his eyes on the tall white building on the right, and patiently explained to him. But around midway through, she rembered the Gringotts theft from yesterday, which made her tone less assured.
Jerry indicated his comprehension by nodding.
Actually, he wasnt gazing at the bank at the mont. Instead, he was looking how ugly the goblins in this world are as he observed the two of them keeping watch at the door.
By the way, Mr. Carn, I want to warn you not to enter that lane if you visit Diagon Alley alone in the future.
Suddenly taking a serious expression, Professor McGonagall pointed in the direction of a little, dim alley that was just across from Gringotts.
Why? Jerrys mind twitched, but he already had an idea.
Thats Knockturn Alley, and you only need to be aware that its a dangerous alley for you, Professor McGonagall retorted while maintaining a straight expression.
Okay, Ill keep that in mind. Jerry gave a solemn nod.
He believes Professor McGonagall to be the kind of person who has a bean curd heart and a knife mouth. She can compete with other Hogwarts teacher when it cos to helping new wizards even if he typically has a lancholy countenance.
Professor McGonagall appeared at ease when she observed Jerrys maturity and led him to continue strolling toward the Magic nagerie.
The Joke Store and Gringotts are both close to the Magical nagerie. Although the store is small, there are a good number of animals there. As soon as Jerry entered the store, he noticed that the entire wall was covered in closely spaced iron cages.
Theres a big purple toad gorging on dead blowflies, a frighteningly big turtle with a shell on its back that glistens like a jewel, a white rabbit that can turn into a satin top hat at any ti, and all kinds of stuff. Colorful cats, mice and ravens and more.
Professor McGonagall, you are here. What do you need? A young witch with thick black glasses saw Professor McGonagall at the door, and imdiately greeted her with a respectful tone.
Pavla, Im bringing the freshn over here to buy a pet for school.
A smile appeared on Professor McGonagalls face. Hows your day? Is the work going well?
Very good. The boss treats
well. I can give you a 20% discount on what kind of pet the little guy likes! The young witch helped her eyes, lowered her head and smiled and asked Jerry.
Maam, I want a cat! Jerry scanned the entire store with his eyes, and soon found his target.
Look at this gray cat with short fur. Its very calm and ideal for keeping as a pet. The mont the young witch heard the words, she went to her closet and pulled out the most stunning pair of British shorts, which she then set in front of Jerry.
I prefer that type of cat, Jerry said, pointing to the large-faced yellow cat that was sleeping on the top cage on the top of the wall after taking a look and shaking his head.
He recalled that Hermiones cat appeared to be a long-haired yellow cat, and he was now referring to the only animal in the entire store who was suitable.
Crookshanks? A look of surprise appeared on the young witchs face.
Because of his appearance, Crookshanks had been in the store for several years and no one wanted him. She never thought that Jerry would fall in love with him imdiately.
Yes, I think Its very cute! Jerry opened his eyes.
That is wonderful. Ive been concerned that it wont be taken care of properly. Im hoping you can look after it well in the future!
At one ti, Pavla attended Hogwarts as a Hufflepuff student. After graduating, she took a job as a clerk in the Fantastic Beasts shop in Diagon Alley since she enjoyed magical animals.
She was pleased that Jerry had acquired Crookshanks, not because another business had been completed, but rather because Crookshanks had found a new owner who liked it.
Even though its my first ti having a pet, Ill do my best to care for it. Jerrys tone had a tinge of earnestness.
-
Jerry hugged Crookshanks, who was dozing off in his arms, before leaving Magical nagerie and following Professor McGonagall to the last store at the end of Diagon Alley. That is Ollivanders Wand Shop, which has been producing expert wands for ages.
The thod for selecting a wand was the sa as in the film, the owner asured it at him with a asuring tape before starting to put the wand on.
There was nothing special about the procedure compared to everyday individuals. It was the sa as that of small wizards in general. After all, the blood he traded was ordinary magical blood.
Jerry quickly discovered a more practical wand after testing two or three.
Alder wood, dragons heart nerve, eleven inches long, it seems that you must be a helpful little wizard!
Ollivander said with a smile and pointing at the magic wand that Jerry was waving, Alder is a kind of hard-to-bend wood, but I found that its perfect owner is not a stubborn person, but those wizards who are kind, thoughtful, and lovable.
But, are you kind enough to help the others?
Jerry had a peculiar smile on his face as he listened to Ollivanders explanation and turned to face the wand in his hand.
