Chapter 14 Closing the Door Is a Good Habit

In the magic world, mice are the cheapest pets designated by Hogwarts, so they naturally have a wide audience, including many little witches.

However, most of them will choose hamsters with the same price but beautiful fur, good character and cute appearance, black mice that can live longer, and white mice that look cleaner.

This is the first time Kyle has seen a little witch who likes this kind of ordinary field mouse, and judging from her dress, she doesn't look like a wizard who is short of money.

Having been in the magic world for eleven years, Kyle has some experience.

Although the girl's clothes are not so gorgeous, the fabrics are very sophisticated and the workmanship is also very delicate. In addition, the iconic pattern on the cuffs should be from the Transcendental Wizard Clothing Store.

That place is much more expensive than Madam Malkin, and the starting price is twenty Galleons.

How can those who can spend money there not afford a better pet.

From this point of view, the other party should really like this mouse.

No wonder she came to find me.

Rat tonic in Diagon Alley? To put it bluntly, that thing is just sugar water, and its properties are similar to those of functional drinks. It can be used to refresh yourself, but don't expect it to be of any great use.

Although the other party's aesthetics are indeed somewhat unique, Kyle did not make a fuss, and his expression did not change at all.

Don't forget that there are even ruthless people in the magic world who like Acromanthus.

He had seen that thing once in Newt's box. How should I put it? Its appearance basically challenges the three views of normal humans. It is the kind that will become a childhood shadow as long as you take a look at it.

Anyway, Kyle was disgusted enough, and he didn't enter Newt's box for a whole year since then.

In comparison, it is normal for a little witch to like voles.

...

Soon, Kyle took out a thumb-sized bottle from the suitcase and handed it over. "This bottle is for you. If you think it works, come back. But you will be charged. The price may be a little expensive, one Sickle, but it is definitely worth it."

"Thank you, thank you."

The little girl named Kanna hurriedly reached out to take the bottle, but she did not leave afterwards. Instead, she continued to stand there, looking at the bottle in her hand, and then at Kyle, with a tangled face.

"Why, don't you think it's not enough?"

Kyle thought she thought it was too little, and explained: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's mainly to try the effect first, and the amount of rat tonic is not that much, two or three drops at a time is enough. Although this bottle is not much, it is enough for you to use for a month."

"No, no, I don't mean that."

After hearing Kyle's words, Kanna shook her head repeatedly, and then under the gaze of Kyle and Cedric, she whispered: "I don't think it's too little, I want the red one."

Red?

Cedric, who was standing by, noticed that the rat tonic in Connor's hand was a rather turbid orange-yellow color, a bit like a mashed orange pudding.

The one Kyle had given Percy before was a crystal clear red color without any impurities.

They were obviously the same thing, but they looked so different, and anyone could see that the crystal clear red color was much better than the turbid orange-yellow color.

Even if it was free, you couldn't fool around like that.

For a moment, Cedric's eyes changed when he looked at Kyle.

Sure enough, a profiteer like Kyle would definitely be assigned to Azkaban.

At this time, Connor seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly took out a delicate little handbag.

"That... I can buy it."

Connor shook the handbag lightly, and a bunch of gold galleons fell on the table with a jingle.

A total of 33 gold galleons, and a few Sickles.

This scene made Cedric's eyes almost pop out.

He only had ten gold Galleons in a semester, and thirty-three gold Galleons, minus the decimals, would be three times his.

Is he jealous? Of course he is jealous, but Cedric can bear it. After all, with his personality, he doesn't care so much about the number of Galleons, as long as it is enough.

But Kanna's action in the next second made him break his defense directly.

"Is this all you have left?" Kanna looked a little disappointed, biting her lip and whispered: "It doesn't matter, if it's not enough, I can still get it from Gringotts. As long as it can make Pochi live longer, any number of Galleons will do."

And, there's more? ?

Cedric couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice. At this moment, he was really scared by this inhumane remark.

Listen, any number of Galleons will do...

If it was an adult wizard, it would be fine, but for a freshman who just entered school to say this, isn't it a bit too much?

Or is this the daily life of Slytherin?

I've learned something new.

On the other hand, Kyle was in no mood to care about Cedric's thoughts. He looked at Kanna, hesitant to speak, and felt a headache.

Family members know their own business. Rat tonic should be orange-yellow.

As for Percy's bottle, it was added with ingredients. Ordinary rats would probably get cold on the spot after drinking it.

But the problem is that he can't say it, and from Kanna's look, it seems that he has a tonic that can prolong the life of rats. I think she must have listened to Percy's words word for word.

In this case, unless he tells the truth, Kyle can't explain it clearly anyway.

"That... Kanna, it's like this."

Kyle thought for a moment and said, "That special rat tonic is too strong to be drunk directly. Before that, you must use ordinary tonic to strengthen the rat's physique."

Drag it out, just drag it out.

This is the only way Kyle can think of.

If he says he doesn't have it, or can't make it himself, what if the other party turns around and looks for Newt? That would be a lot of fun.

Newt is not easy to find, but Dumbledore is in Hogwarts. In the wizarding world, even a three-year-old child knows how good their relationship is.

Since Connor is wearing extraordinary clothes, she can't be a Muggle. If she finds Dumbledore, she might really see Newt.

"I should have closed the door when Percy came." Kyle rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Fortunately, this matter is not difficult to solve. Just wait for Hogwarts to go to Dorset during the holiday.

He remembered that Newt had once brewed a tonic for the Mortra rat. This magical animal had a very similar body structure to that of a field mouse. The rats in the pet store basically all had some Mortra rat blood.

Just like cats and catkins.

So when the time comes, you can just dilute it a little and use it directly. At least it will be no problem to let an ordinary rat live three to five years longer.

"I will feed the tonic to Pochi on time."

Kanna did not doubt him and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, it will be fine." Kyle smiled and handed over a chocolate frog: "Eat some chocolate, it will make you feel a lot more relaxed."

"No, no, I can buy it myself."

Kanna glanced at the chocolate frog, then immediately looked away, pinching the hem of her robe with both hands. She looked like a child receiving red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, wanting but embarrassed.

"It's okay, take it." Kyle smiled and said, "Just consider it as a meeting gift. I hope we can become classmates."

"...Thank you."

Hearing Kyle's words, Kanna took the chocolate frog with a red face, but did not eat it. Instead, she carefully put it away.
