The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

"Oh~ I knew you would come," said Mrs. Puddife just as she was seeing off a customer, and after just one glance, she recognized Macon walking towards her, and pulled him into her arms very enthusiastically, " Take a look, whose beautiful kitten is this."

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Puddife." Macon said hello to her with a sideways body, as if trying to pull himself out of her arms.

"Don't say hello to me, come in quickly, it's freezing outside," Mrs. Puddiffe embraced Macon, as if holding a large doll in her arms, and wriggled her fat body into the teahouse, " I have always reserved your seats, near the corner of the window, go and sit quickly, tea and snacks will be served to you in a while."

Macon nodded to her and walked towards the corner seat. Compared with the small and cramped space before, this place is much larger. What has not changed is the ubiquitous lace that is used as decoration, even if the customers Everyone felt tacky, but Mrs. Puddife still went her own way.

After sitting down, two little white cats jumped out of the hood one after the other, and the transfiguration was released. They were Lelia and Filina.Finally, there was the sleepy lion cat. Macon took out the flannel cushion from the white cat hairpin and put it on the table. Hermione jumped on it, regained her shape, and yawned on it.

"Why did I suddenly fall asleep?" Hermione blinked her blue-green eyes, her face was covered with question marks, "Where are Harry and Ron? And that Mundungus?"

"Maybe you have been too tired from studying recently. The safe and comfortable environment, coupled with the sudden relaxation, made you fall asleep quickly." Macon held the lion cat's small head in both hands, rubbed his two thumbs around his mouth, Gently rubbed the temporal gland (Note 1) and the top of the head with the index finger, "The two of them went to Weasley's Wizard's Wheezes together, Mundungus returned the stolen things to them, and then inexplicably went to the Death Eaters desperately gone."

"Gululu~huh???" Under Macon's kneading, Hermione made a contented sound. When she heard that wretched man, she couldn't help becoming suspicious. How could that kind of person suddenly go looking for someone desperately?

"You have such a good relationship." Mrs. Puddife came with black tea and food with a levitating spell, and placed them on the dining table, "Come on, lovely girls, your favorite yogurt brownies, I It's ready early in the morning, and the smart big girl, which is what you like, and finally the handsome and not picky guy."

"Eat it at ease, I'll send it to you if it's not enough, thanks to Macon, my business is much better than before," Mrs. Puddiffe said here, the smile on her face dimmed a lot, "It's really It's too messy, those nasty dark wizards, it reminds me of the days when I was hiding in Tibet many years ago... Really, what are you talking about?"

"People from outside are trying to come in, so Hogsmeade's business will naturally improve, right?" Hermione rubbed Macon's hand and said anxiously.

Macon smiled, touched Lion Cat's forehead, did not tell her the answer directly, but gave her a reassuring look.

"Welcome to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes."

"Here's a whole lot of fun magic treats,"

"There are also the most unexpected trick props here."

"...The King of Mischief from Hogwarts, dedicated to you."

Two huge busts of the Weasley twins leaned shoulder to shoulder and leaned against each other. With their other hands, they took turns picking up each other's hat and covering it on the other's head. Under the hat, a black man squatted There are two cats, one white (a certain black cat invested in the stock). The most terrifying thing is their mouths. Whenever someone comes in and out, the huge mouth will droop exaggeratedly.

"I remember that this was Zuko's joke shop?" Harry murmured to himself as he listened to the looping advertising slogan and looked at the weird door in front of him.

"It's here, with this style, no one will imitate them. If it were me, I would never spend money on these flashy places outside. I bet it would be good if it can maintain profitability here." Ron told Fer Ryder and George dismissed the idea, and pulled Harry into the magic workshop.

After Harry entered, he was quickly stunned by the scene inside. The products were neatly stacked on the shelves, and each category was separated by partitions of a uniform style. The sign hanging from the ceiling said the product classification , and even the sign of the emergency passage. The most familiar thing to him is the small trolley in the hands of the customers. Isn't this a large supermarket chain?

The sounds of laughter, discussions, and even quarrels gathered together and kept bombarding their ears. Harry felt as if he had returned to a shopping mall outside, and Ron recalled the scene of the Quidditch World Cup, where the same people There was a lot of noise, but compared with the excitement at that time, his face was much worse at this time.

"Why, why are there so many people?" Ron was also taken aback. Not to mention the crowds on the ground, rows of goods were flying in the sky, and they landed on the shelves like a plane swooping down. Customers waiting there are put into carts.

"We, shall we go back?" Ron tugged at Harry's sleeve, which had been restored with the Restoration Curse, and said to him in a panic, "I feel very uncomfortable here."

Harry also noticed something wrong with his face, nodded, and walked towards the door with Ron, ready to leave.

"George, look who's here? It's Harry! And our little brother——Little Ronnie!" Fred and George happened to come down the stairs in suits and ties. "Oh, it looks like our little brother A little uncomfortable, look at this pale little face."

"Come with us, I didn't expect that Ronnie, the strongest in our family, would also have this symptom," George beckoned Harry and Ron to follow them to the second floor, explaining as he walked, "Macon said, this kind of symptom The symptom is called vagal syncope, which is mostly caused by too much mood swings, like Ron, you just need to find a quiet place and lie down for a while."

"This happens often here?" Harry helped Ron to lie down on the sofa in the corner. It was so quiet that it was the opposite of the hustle and bustle on the first floor. The number is marked, and from time to time, alchemy dolls come in and out with dinner plates covered with flannel, "Those rooms?"

"Harry, you are like a problem baby, but we are happy to tell you that Ron's symptoms are rare, and most of them are young wizards," Fred said. Move to the armrest, this will allow him to recover faster, "As for those rooms, they are commercial secrets, if you really want to know, it's okay to tell you."

Harry was successfully aroused, and within a short time, he had seen at least a dozen alchemy dolls walking past him with trays in their hands.

Note 1: The temporal gland is pronounced nièxiàn. The part between the cat’s eyes and ears is generally bald, which is good for releasing odor and marking information. Do you know why cats rub their heads against you?
