When Anne left Ollivander's wand shop and began to wander around, intending to complete her trip to Diagon Alley, a crisp sound from behind interrupted her, forcing her to stop the original strange movements.
"Hello, my name is Hermione Granger, little sister. Are you alone?" Hermione's main task today was to go to Lihen Bookstore to buy the teaching materials she needed for the second grade. In addition to these necessary, some extracurricular reading materials that she is interested in are also indispensable.
Of course, the premise is to go to Gringot to exchange for some Jin Jialong. After all, now she only has pounds left, and pounds cannot be used directly in Diagon Alley.
After her father, Mr. Granger, brought her here, left her alone and went to wander around alone. He also said that he was practicing Hermione's ability to be independent, but in fact he wanted to find opportunities to be lazy.
On the way to Guling Pavilion, Hermione saw the curious little girl standing around the street. She originally thought that this was a little girl who accidentally got lost to her parents because she looked several years younger than her.
Since that's the case, then the kind Miss Granger had to volunteer to help after seeing this situation, so she went up to say hello to the little girl to see if she could help her little.
"Huh? Are you talking to me just now? Ah, you are okay, my name is Anne, Anne Hasta. I'm very happy to see you!" When Anne saw someone greeting her, she was not nervous. After coming to her senses, she said generously.
"I'm very happy to see you too. By the way, Annie, why are you here alone? Are you separated from your parents? Do you want me to help?" Hermione looked around, but did not find anyone suspected of Annie's parents, so she began to ask.
"No, it's not! I'm actually here alone." My parents, and so on. In fact, Annie also wanted to find them, but she couldn't go back. It probably took a long time for the useless little thing in the Space Gem to complete the recharge.
"It turned out to be a person?" Hermione was a little surprised.
How dare such a young girl come to Diagon Alley alone? And without the accompanying parents? Her parents are really irresponsible! Just like Hermione's father, Mr. Granger, just now, he left himself behind and ignored him. They are really irresponsible parents, so hateful!
"Hey! Wait for me, Anne?" Hermione saw that Anne had just said a few words to her and turned to the pet shop. After knowing that Anne was a diagonal alley that she had sneaked out of the corner, Hermione, who had a love attack, planned to spend some time with her for a while, so she hurriedly chased her.
"Annie, are you... wanting to buy a pet you like?" When she walked into the pet store, she saw Annie staring at the pets in the store and kept watching. Hermione thought the little girl wanted to buy a pet to play with. However, when it comes to pets, Hermione doesn't have a pet now. Maybe it's time to choose one for herself?
"Welcome to the Magic Animal Pet Shop! Two beautiful ladies, what can I do for you?" Seeing that there was a business coming, the owner of the pet shop hurried forward and welcomed him attentively, "We have all kinds of pets here, and we have everything here! As long as you want, just talk!"
"Oh? Really?" When the owner said that she had any pets here, Anne turned around and stopped looking at them. As for the pets, although she had the best Teebos, she wanted another one to play with. "So, do you have a fire dragon like this?"
"Ah? Fire, Fire Dragon?! Very, I'm sorry, my dear guest, Fire Dragon is prohibited from trading by the Ministry of Magic... We really don't have it here, absolutely nothing!" The owner paused, swallowed, and then secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Her eyes began to wander, and she thought to herself, could it be that the two little fire dragons she smuggled a while ago were discovered and reported? This shouldn't be... She was very secretive when doing things, and she had a single line contact with the buyer. How could she be discovered? Could these two children be Aurors disguised by compound decoctions? It's over, it's over, it's over, it's really over! At the beginning, I shouldn't have greed for that little money...
"That..., why don't you try to buy an owl? Look, they are not only beautiful, smart! They can also send you letters, how convenient it is? All of these are, each of them only needs 3 golden gallons! Choose one?" The lower he was already prepared for the worst. Although he was still suspicious, the owner still insisted on introducing the goods in the store. She knew that the more this time, the less he could not get lost.
"No!"
Annie looked at the various owls hanging in the cage and curled her lips disdainfully.
"They can poop and they are so stinky, and they look stupid and stupid. I don't want such a flat-haired beast!"
"this……"
When Anne heard Anne say that the owls were stupid and stupid, the owner was about to say something, but the owls in the store immediately exploded and flew in the cage.
It seems that they just understood what Anni said, and wanted to break free from the cage and peck Annie a few times. They are magic pets, but they are all wise! How dare this little human kid say they are stupid, stupid and smelly? As long as they are put out, they will definitely peck her on her head!
"So, let's see how these cats are? They are considerate, well-behaved and obedient! Each one... only takes 2 gold gallons and 10 shikos for every one! If you buy one, I can also save you those twenty shikos for you." After the owner took a lot of effort to calm the owls down, he began to turn around and introduce the cats.
"This cat looks very good!" Hermione took a fancy to a ginger cat.
Its fur is golden and bright, and it has a flat face, as if it had rushed to the wall and crushed it, and its fat tail that exploded like a bottle brush.
Hermione felt that she fell in love with this cat at first sight, because this cat was different from other cats, so it stayed there quietly, and looked like a sense of loneliness and vicissitudes. Looking at it, Hermione's love broke out again. She immediately made a decision and waited for a while to free up two months of pocket money to buy it!
"I don't want it, cats will shed hair! They also have lice, so they are so dirty!" Annie doesn't want this kind of thing!
Huh? As soon as Annie finished speaking, she found that one of the black cats in the group of cats dared to stare at her? She seemed to be dissatisfied!
Annie immediately glared back and said with her eyes: What to look at? Look again, buy and eat you! Then, the black cat seemed to feel Annie's malice, and suddenly became timid, his ears began to droop, and turned his head to one side.
"Okay, if that's the case, how about the toad? Just 1 Jin Jialong!" The owner was a little discouraged, as if he didn't have much hope for the toad. Except for another older girl who seemed to want to buy a cat, this little one was too difficult to serve.
"So disgusting! I really want to step on it!" Looking at the toad covered in cancer and lying on the table with sticky slutty, Annie hurriedly took two steps back. How could she buy such a disgusting thing?
"There are no decent things here?" Anni looked around. It seemed that there was really nothing worth buying here, let alone the mice over there! How could someone treat rats as pets? When she thought that someone would hold a mouse as a pet all day long, Annie felt chills. People who do that must be perverted, right?
"Oh... it seems that it's gone..." The owner took off the reading glasses she wore on the bridge of her nose and wiped them. He felt very frustrated for a moment.
The mainstream pets in her store have been introduced once, but unfortunately the other party didn't like any of them, and the others who didn't mention them probably looked down on them even more. She even affirmed her thoughts. These two little ancestors were probably really pretending to investigate the situation? Did they really receive any reports? Meilin's Fatts! She only did two smuggling jobs in total, so how could she be discovered so quickly?
"Do you don't have any special pets? For example, big guys like Fire Dragon?" Annie asked again unwillingly. There was not even a dragon, so how dare you open a magic pet shop?
"Fire Dragon?! Our store won't do that kind of illegal business! Without Fire Dragon, there is no, there is absolutely nothing!" The female shop owner was almost scared to death again! The little girl was still thinking about Fire Dragon? Sure enough, she must have come to collect evidence in disguise, right? It must be! She was about to drive out people, but suddenly she remembered that she seemed to have a good thing, and the key was that it was not illegal!
"Wait, I have another pet here, you may be interested. Please come back soon!" After that, he rushed to the back of the store, as if he was looking for something.
At the moment, the shop owner doesn't want to care about the real purpose of these two people. If they really pretend to investigate, she will drive people directly, and maybe they will think that she is guilty and has something to do, and it will probably be even more troublesome in the future! Since that's the case, she might as well take out the store treasure and scare them away at a high price.
After a while, the owner took out a box. This made Anne, who was originally a little expectant, immediately extinguished. It must be something that could be put in such a small box, right? She wouldn't like these little things. At least, she had to be as tall, mighty and domineering as Tibers! The Fire Dragon is like that, it is very good, it can fly and can spit out fire. She is cruel and big. Unfortunately, this pet store is not sold!
"Look, do you know what this is? I tell you, this is a phoenix's egg! Is it amazing?" The owner carefully opened the box and handed it to the two of them like offering treasures. If it weren't for the purpose of driving away these two guys who were suspected of being disguised as Aurors, she wouldn't have taken out her store-town treasure easily.
"It is said that as long as you wrap it with the flame of a phoenix, you can hatch it quickly. It's amazing, right?" Now you can't say that there is no decent thing here anymore, right? This thing is much rarer than a fire dragon. This was stolen from an unknown nest on a sycamore tree that year. After she asked someone to help identify it, she realized that it was a rare phoenix egg.
"Wow! It turned out to be a Phoenix Egg, is it really fake?" Hermione certainly knew about the legendary thing like Phoenix, and she had seen it several times with her own eyes. It was their principal Dumbledore's pet - Fox! However, this was the first time she saw Phoenix Egg, and it was really rare!
"Phoenix Egg?" Annie looked at the fiery red egg intently, stared at it with her magic power and looked inside for a while. After feeling the life energy with the hot magic aura inside, she nodded, feeling that the shop owner should not have deceived her. This looks really a good thing!
"Okay! How much does it cost?" Anyway, there is no fire dragon here! Annie decided to buy this egg for the time being, and she can't come in vain.
"Ah? Well... are you sure you really want to buy it?" The owner looked at Annie's clothes and behavior again. Did she really think that she was wrong just now? They were not agents sent by Auror?
The shop owner thought about it for a while and began to secretly calculate the possible payment ability of the little girl in front of him. Now it has reached this point. As long as she is willing to pay, she plans to sell this egg as soon as possible! Today's shock was a big frightening thing, and she urgently needs some gold coins to comfort her wounded heart.
"Five thousand gold Gallon! Do you want it?" The owner didn't think Annie could take out the money, but maybe her family would not be able to resist the little girl's crying, and it might not be possible to buy it afterwards?
You know, she has been in her hands for a long time, and she doesn't even know whether this egg has broken after being left for a long time? Now, it's always good to be able to take action! Because this kind of thing is not only expensive, it's not as easy as Fire Dragon... Cough cough, Fire Dragon, etc., you can't think about it anymore. She doesn't sell it in the store, and there is absolutely no such thing as smuggling!
"Five thousand gold Gallon!? This is too expensive!" Hermione was shocked.
How could she dare to say such an outrageous price? Five thousand gold Gallon is enough to buy more than one thousand owls? Even if this is really a living phoenix, it shouldn't be worth the price, right? Hermione thinks she absolutely can't accept this price! What's more, it's just a phoenix egg, not a real phoenix! Who knows if it's a phoenix inside? Maybe, it's just a cuckoo or a peacock hatched?
"Give!"
To Hermione and the shop owner's surprise, Annie took out a large bag of gold coins from her space pocket without hesitation, and threw it on the table with a "bang".
Annie just grabbed a bunch of them with her pocket, which should be enough for 5,000, right? Anyway, she has so many of these things, and the space pocket is piled up like a hill! These are the collections of the old dragon in the Voodoo Land, and she won't feel sorry for her to spend it at all!
Folding and expanding space? The owner was not surprised by Anne's behavior of taking out gold coins from her pocket. She just sighed a little about the children of rich families. They just brought so much money when they went out. However, when she opened the bag, she was stunned.
"It seems that this is not Jin Jialong, right?" The owner grabbed a few more and looked at it. It turned out that it was not Jin Jialong!
"What is Jin Jialong? This is gold coins. Is there any difference?" Annie didn't know what Jin Jialong was. She used this kind of gold coins to buy food. She didn't say it couldn't be used!
"Sorry, my child, I'm afraid you have to go to Guling Pavilion to exchange it first."
The pet shop owner's character is not as low as Old Tom. Although the amount of these gold coins is more than that of Jin Jialong, she still advised Anne. Of course, smuggling fire dragons and other things have nothing to do with character, it is just a means of making a living. Recently, her store's capital turnover has not been opened, and smuggling has been forced.
"Annie, I was going to Gringott too, so let's go together!" Hermione finally remembered that she had to exchange pounds, and when she came back later, she could buy the big-faced cat she liked.
"Okay." Annie looked at the phoenix egg in the box with a little reluctant resignation.
"Don't worry, kids! I will keep it for you, I promise!" The owner saw Annie's concern and quickly spoke and smiled.
It seems that she will definitely start a big business today! Maybe she can give herself a few days off for a holiday and avoid the limelight? As long as this transaction is completed, maybe she will no longer have to lack funds and will never do the dangerous business of smuggling Fire Dragons again?
