Chapter 295 Mothers’ Tea Party

What did you agree to? ! I haven't agreed yet!

Mr. Granger glared at his wife with dissatisfaction. How could his little girl be allowed to go out so easily? !

He thought very dissatisfiedly in his heart, and then glanced at the cat-eared boy surrounded by the crowd...

This boy is so popular, and there is no shortage of girls who like him. What if his daughter is deceived?

The stupid father's instinct to protect his daughter has a slight upper hand in the conflict with Fish's animal affinity.

But unfortunately, in the Granger family, Mr. Granger's right to speak is not too high. Mrs. Granger directly ignored her husband's glare and dragged Hermione to Fish and Professor McGonagall.

"Hello, you are Fish, right? I am Hermione's mother, and she often mentions you in front of me."

Mrs. Granger's eyes have been lingering on Fish's trembling cat ears, and she likes him more and more.

"What are you talking about, Mom!" Hermione covered her hot cheeks in shame and stamped her feet vigorously. "Hello meow~" (●ΦωΦ●) Fish responded politely, and the kitten didn't care much about Mrs. Granger's words. "Oh! Your child is so cute!" Mrs. Granger resisted the urge to pinch Fish's cat ears, looked away, and turned to talk to Professor McGonagall. "Thank you for the compliment." Professor McGonagall smiled proudly and reached out to touch Fish's cat head, attracting Mrs. Granger's envious eyes. "Hermione is also a good child. Her grades have always been among the best in school. My colleagues and I like her very much." Putting aside other things, Professor McGonagall was very satisfied with Hermione as an excellent student, so she also praised her half-reciprocally and half-sincerely. "Yes, Hermione is much better than Ron and the others," another mother also joined the topic of showing off her children, "Percy always praises her."

It's a pity that Bill and Charlie have already graduated, and the only one the Weasley family can show off is Percy.

"Ah, I heard from Hermione that Percy was elected as the head of the student union this year. Congratulations, Mrs. Weasley."

Mrs. Granger, who is very good at dealing with people, praised very cooperatively.

"Hehe, no, no, in the future, Hermione will definitely be elected as the head of the student union like Percy."

Mrs. Weasley smiled and flattered Mrs. Granger.

"Minerva, can we go to Diagon Alley, meow?"

(●ω●)

Just as the two mothers were communicating in a friendly manner, Fish pulled Professor McGonagall's sleeve.

The kitten was not interested in the polite words of the adults at all. He was still busy asking Ron about Scabbers.

Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Granger looked at each other, and the tacit understanding as parents made them make the same decision.

"You guys go shopping by yourselves. I'll have a good chat with Mrs. Granger here. You can buy anything you want to eat."

Professor McGonagall took out two gold Galleons and stuffed them into Fish's hands.

"Hermione, you can exchange the coins and buy textbooks by yourself. That should be okay, right?"

Mrs. Granger also took out a stack of pounds and handed it to her daughter.

Seeing this, Mrs. Weasley also handed a small purse to Percy and said, "Percy, you can take your brothers and sisters to buy textbooks. Remember Ron's wand."

"Leave it to me with confidence, Mom."

Percy nodded reservedly and took the purse from Mrs. Weasley with a very solemn attitude.

Firth shook his ears and heard the twins complaining quietly: "We actually have to follow the chairman to buy 'important information'. This is so unlucky..."

Just when Firth was still wondering what the twins meant, he heard Hermione say to Mrs. Granger: "You gave too much money. According to the exchange rate between pounds and Galleons, only about half is enough, Mom."

"Oh, isn't it your birthday on the 19th of next month? Use the remaining money to buy yourself a present."

Mrs. Granger replied with a smile, and when she mentioned Hermione's birthday, she deliberately raised her voice.

Seeing Firth on the side showing a thoughtful expression after hearing her reminder, Mrs. Granger nodded with satisfaction, hiding her merits and fame.

So the adults continued to chat in the Leaky Cauldron, while the children drove to Diagon Alley in a mighty manner.

"Ron, why did Scabbers disappear?"

ω

As soon as he left the bar, Firth hurriedly grabbed Ron and asked.

"I don't know..."

When this matter was mentioned, Ron's mood immediately fell.

Scabbers was something that he had only and that he owned. Even though it was second-hand like all his other things, Ron had kept it for so many years and still had feelings for it.

"It just disappeared suddenly. It was there at breakfast that day. Mom and Dad were discussing Sirius Black's escape from prison, and I was feeding it bread."

Ron raised his head slightly, looking at the sky and recalling.

"After breakfast, we went to visit the Sphinx. Scabbers seemed to have some difficulty adapting to the local climate, so I left him at Bill's house. When we came back, he was gone."

"Besides Scabbers, did you lose anything else, meow?"

"No, that's what we find strange. If there really was a thief, what's so good about stealing an ugly, old pet mouse?"

Fred interrupted, "So I suspect it was eaten by a cat when it sneaked out... In Egypt, both wizards and Muggles like to keep cats."

"Is it meow?"

(●ω●)

Fish's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a great liking for Egypt.

As for the problem with Scabbers?

Ron's family didn't lose anything else anyway, so the rest didn't matter.

Then everyone talked about Harry blowing up his aunt. The twins and Ron applauded Harry, while Percy and Hermione expressed their concerns about the matter, thinking that Harry's behavior was questionable.

As they talked, they came to Gringotts. Hermione needed to exchange her pounds for gold galleons first. During the period, she only needed to hand over a stack of colorful papers to the goblins in Gringotts, and she didn't need to take a mine cart... This disappointed the cat.

After exchanging Galleons, they immediately went to Flourish and Blotts.

The clerks in the bookstore changed their faces instantly after seeing such a large group of people, as if they had seen the end of the world. On the other hand, the manager with bandages on both hands did not look much better...

He had changed several clerks during this period. As the school day approached, most students had already bought their textbooks. He thought that this terrible summer vacation would finally be over, but he did not expect that a large number of customers would come on the last day...

Fortunately, he had not removed the bandages!

The only thing the bookstore manager was thankful for was that after the wound on his hand healed, he still pretended that it had not healed.

Harry certainly understood why they had such expressions, while Hermione and the Weasley brothers and sisters were confused.

"Hey," Harry comforted with some reluctance: "Don't worry, we only need four copies of "Monster Books of Monsters."

He and Fish already had them, Ginny was not yet old enough, and Percy no longer needed to take the Care of Magical Creatures class, so only Hermione, Ron and the twins needed to buy monster books.

"Four books?!!!"

The clerk screamed and repeated, his face pale and shaking. It was obvious that Harry's words of comfort had no effect.

However, no matter how reluctant the clerk was, he still walked towards the cage with the monster books under the contempt of the manager... Harry still had about ten books in it, and they were still fighting with each other as before.

Then Hermione and the others also knew why the bookstore clerk behaved like that just now...

It was really tragic.
