Chapter 403 Girl Wake-Up Service [Happy New Year]
As the three adults left McGonagall's house, Hermione, who was left alone, picked up a copy of the Daily Prophet from the coffee table and started reading it in the living room.
"Sirius Black shows up in France!"
The headline read in bold letters on the front page.
Hermione, who knew the truth, immediately guessed as soon as she saw the title that Sirius had exposed it deliberately, in order to divert the Ministry of Magic's attention away from Hogwarts...
Otherwise, there will be dementors stationed outside the school every year from now on, and Hermione will feel unbearable just thinking about it.
Hermione, who was not interested in the text of this report, turned her attention to another news item marked in large bold letters on the front page——
"Gringotts has been invaded by unknown persons again!"
Hermione was a little interested in this news, because she remembered the Sorcerer's Stone in the first grade, and she didn't know what the goal of the thieves who broke into Gringotts this time was.
She read it with interest, only to find that a lot of speculative words such as "suspected" and "possible" were used in the text. After talking for a long time, she could not explain clearly what was stolen or whether the thief was successful.
Hermione curled her lips and looked at other contents of the newspaper.
However, the other news was even more boring than the previous two. Hermione flipped through it for a while and then put the newspaper back.
After putting down the newspaper, Hermione looked around, and then began to stare blankly at the patterns on the coffee table...
After sitting like this for three or four minutes, Hermione didn't know what she thought of, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and then she squirmed in the chair, as if she had fleas on her body.
"Do you need anything, Miss Granger?"
Comey poked his head out of the side room and asked in a shrill voice.
"Ah!" Hermione, who was in a trance, was so frightened that she jumped up from her chair, and then she quickly waved to the enthusiastic Comey: "No, no need, thank you."
"Then Comey will continue cleaning. If you have anything to do, please direct me!"
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Comey nodded to Hermione and retreated into the room.
Hermione let out a long sigh of relief, and then started to wander around the living room restlessly.
After wandering for a while, she finally stopped and took a few deep breaths, seeming to have made some determination.
Hermione first looked around like a thief, and then tiptoed upstairs.
The elf Komi, who was cleaning nearby, stuck his head out and looked at Hermione who was sneaking up the stairs. He scratched his head in confusion, wondering what the little guest was doing.
Hermione, who seemed to have long forgotten that there was a house elf here, quietly walked up the stairs, continued to tiptoe around the second floor, and successfully found a sign with a cat's claw on it. A room named Fish.
She stood at the door and took a few deep breaths, then carefully opened the door...
He happened to meet a pair of big green eyes behind the crack in the door.
"ah!"
Hermione exclaimed and jumped back two steps.
Fish, on the other hand, looked at the startled Hermione with a confused expression.
"Hermione, you're here." Maomao first said hello to Hermione, then scratched his head and asked doubtfully: "What did you want to do at Fish's door just now?"
(●ω●)
"Ahem...I just want to see if you're awake."
Hermione lowered her head and replied with a flushed face. Only then did she remember how sensitive Fish's ears were...
Didn't I act like a fool before?
The little girl was so embarrassed that she wanted to immediately dig a hole in the floor and crawl in.
Fortunately, Feishu didn't think too much, and he replied carelessly: "Oh, Feishu just woke up too, and he hasn't had time to lick his fur yet."
After Maomao finished speaking, he tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly ran to the head of his bed, and then ran back again.
"Why don't you come and comb Fish's hair?" He handed Hermione a small silver comb.
While Hermione was still in a daze, Fish had already transformed into a little tabby cat and jumped into her arms.
"Meow~"
(=ΦωΦ=)
Seeing Hermione still standing dumbly at the door of her room, the kitten stretched out its paws and tugged on her arm twice. Only then did Miss Granger come to her senses, and then walked in happily holding the cat in her arms. Room.
None of the girls at Hogwarts are good at combing cats, and Hermione is no exception. She carried the cat and walked to the bed and sat down. She picked up a comb and combed the kitten skillfully. Get fluffy.
Fish stretched out comfortably in Hermione's arms, then purred, and turned over from time to time to coordinate with Hermione's grooming.
After combing his hair, Fish jumped out of Hermione's arms and rubbed his face before returning to his human form.
"Let's have breakfast together, nya?"
Fish invited Hermione while leading her downstairs... although it was almost ten o'clock now.
Hermione shook her head, "No, I've already had breakfast."
"You're out of luck. Comey's breakfast is delicious."
The little cat shook its head and came to sit down at the dining table, and the elf Komi quickly served breakfast.
"You really don't want some meow?"
Fei Xu shook the fried dough sticks in his hand and asked again.
Hermione shook her head again, then rested her elbows on the table, held her cheeks with her hands, and looked at Firth devouring the food with a happy face.
After finishing her breakfast quickly, Maomao left home with Hermione and walked towards the Three Broomsticks.
Along the way, people kept greeting Firth, and most people's destination was also the Three Broomsticks, so soon, there were 20 to 30 people around Firth and Hermione.
The crowd walked into the bar in a mighty manner, and Hermione saw her parents sitting at the bar, and...
The professors of Hogwarts, even the headmaster Dumbledore, were there.
Hermione forced a stiff smile and bowed to the professors who looked at her. When she thought that she came in with Firth, and her parents were next to her, she was so nervous that her movements became stiff.
However, after seeing Hermione, almost all the professors smiled at her kindly, and even Snape just nodded to her with a cold face, which made Hermione feel a little flattered.
"Hello, everyone, meow!"
(ΦωΦ)
Fish greeted everyone in the bar with full energy.
"Hello, Fish, happy birthday!"
Everyone responded with a smile, and many people raised their glasses and gestured to the kitten.
The Grangers, who were talking to Professor McGonagall, heard the noise and turned their heads.
"Ah! Fish, you're here!" Compared with the nervous Hermione, Mrs. Granger seemed much more at ease. She ran over from the bar quickly, not caring about the eyes of others, and hugged the cat into her arms, "Come and let Auntie hug you, we haven't seen each other for almost a year!"
Mrs. Granger hugged Fish tightly, and put her cheek close to him intimately, rubbed it hard, and then turned her head to kiss the cat hard on the face.
The operation was smooth and she completely ignored Hermione next to her. Mrs. Granger even pushed her daughter aside intentionally or unintentionally.
Hermione, who was disliked by her mother: "..."
