Almost didn't cry. "

"Trust me, Ron. That's way better than last year's Divination class, too, and if you don't mind, I wish your monster book could crush Professor Trelawney's crystal ball."

"Hi! Hermione! Harry" seeing Ron raised his wand and greeted the two little heads in the distance. Gwen didn't know how he could recognize them from a long distance.

After the three little friends embraced warmly, Hermione said that she happened to buy herself a birthday present, maybe an owl.

So they walked across the street to the shop called Wonder Zoo.

There is not much space inside.Cages hang from every inch of the wall.The store is smelly and noisy.Because the little creatures in the cage are making all kinds of noises.

A pair of purple toads with huge eyes sat there, gobbling unflatteringly.A large bejeweled tortoise flaunted near the window.Poisonous orange snails were slowly emerging from the edges of their glass cases, and a fat white rabbit kept transforming into a silk top hat and back again with a loud poof.Then there were cats of every color, a cage of rowdy ravens, a basket of ridiculous mustard-coloured furballs whining loudly, and on the counter there was a big cage of silky black mice growing out of them. The long bald tail plays some sort of game of bouncing.

Ron approached the counter. "This is my mouse," he said to the witch. "It's been a little bad since I brought it back from Egypt." "Put it on the counter," said the witch, drawing a pair of heavy black spectacles from her pocket.Ron took Scabbers out of his inside pocket and set it not far from his fellow rats.The mice in the cage stopped playing the jumping game, and crowded to the side of the cage one after another, trying to get a better look.

Scabbers, like everything Ron owns, is second-hand (he once belonged to Ron's older brother Percy), and looks a little battered.Compared with the slick mouse in the cage, it looks particularly sad.

"Hmph," said the witch, picking up Scabbers, "how old is that mouse?" "I don't know," said Ron, "very old. It belonged to my brother." "What can it do?" said the witch, examine Scabbers carefully. "Oh—" said Ron.The reality is that Scabbers has never shown the slightest ability to be interesting.The witch's eyes turned from Scabbers' torn ear to its front paw, where a toe was missing, and the witch made a tsk-tsk sound. "It's been through a lot, the mouse," she said.

"That's what it looked like when Percy gave it to me," Ron defended himself.

"A common house mouse or a garden mouse like this, you can't expect it to live more than three years." The witch said, "If you don't want to replace it, you can try this potion." The witch said , reached under the counter and took out a small red bottle.

"Okay," said Ron, "how much - ouch!"

A gigantic ginger thing jumped down from the top cage, onto Ron's head, and then charged forward, grunting at Scabbers. "No! Crookshanks, no!" cried the witch, but Scabbers slipped from her hand like a bar of soap, dropped to the floor on all fours, and fled for the door. "Scatterers!" yelled Ron, galloping out of the shop after him; Harry followed.

It took them about 10 minutes to find Scabbers, who was hiding under a wastebasket outside the Quidditch Boutique.Ron put the trembling little mouse back in his pocket, straightened up, and stroked his head.

"what is that"

"Either a big cat or a tiny tiger," said Harry.

"Where's Hermione?"

"Probably buying an owl."

"Where is Gwen?"

"Probably buying diet potions for her fat cat."

They turned back down the crowded street and returned to Wonder Zoo.Hermione and Gwen happened to come out as they got there, but she wasn't holding an owl.Clasped in her arms was the huge ginger cat.

"Did you buy this monster?" Ron asked, mouth shut in surprise.

"It's got nice fur, doesn't it," said Hermione, grinning.

The cat's ginger fur was thick and shaggy, but its legs were clearly a little bent, and its face looked gruff and pan-flat.The cat was purring contentedly in Hermione's arms.And the dog in Gwen's arms let out barking sounds from its throat, while baring its teeth and claws to sniff the big ginger cat next door.

"I can't believe it. The female store manager said that the dog can gain another ten pounds and doesn't need to lose weight." Gwen was trying to control the excited white cat while looking at the pie-faced Crookshanks, " I think the dogs are in love with her, Hermione. Do you think they'll have a litter of kittens?"

Hermione shook her head with a serious face, "The dog has to learn to get along with ladies first, he is too impatient."

"Lady? The damn thing almost took my scalp off!" said Ron.

"It didn't mean to, you didn't mean to, Crookshanks"

"So what about Scabbers," said Ron, pointing to the bulge on his breast pocket. "He needs to rest and relax! How can he rest and relax with this thing next to it - oh no - two big fat cats next to it"

"That reminds me, you forgot your rat tonic," said Hermione, shoving the little red bottle into Ron's hand. "Don't worry, Crookshanks will be sleeping in my dormitory, and Scabbers will be in yours. So what's the problem, poor Crookshanks, the witch says it's been there for ages and no one wants it. "

"I can't guess why," said Ron sarcastically.

The group finally arrived at the Leaky Cauldron, where Mr. Weasley was sitting in the bar, reading the Daily Prophet.Mrs. Weasley was carrying a bunch of things, followed by several other red-haired boys, and their only daughter, Ginny.

Ginny had always liked Harry, and she seemed more embarrassed than usual to see him, perhaps because he had saved her life at Hogwarts.She blushed and mumbled "Hello" without looking at him.Percy, however, held out his hand solemnly, as if he and Harry had never met.He said, "Good to see you, Harry."

Afraid that she would laugh out loud at the sight of Percy's HB badge, Gwen quickly joined Ginny and asked her how her summer was going.Once Ginny left Harry's radiation circle, she immediately returned to her confident and generous appearance. She first complained about the men in the family, and then hugged the dog enviously and expressed that she wanted a sister.

"Harry!" said Fred beside him, elbowing Percy away, and bowing deeply, "It's an honor to meet you, old chap—".

"Brilliant," said George, pushing Fred away, and it was his turn to grab Harry's hand. "Absolutely brilliant."

"Enough," said Mrs. Weasley. "Mother!" said Fred, grabbing her hand as if he had just discovered her. "It's good to see you—"

"I said, that's enough." Mrs. Wei Xinlai yelled, putting all the things she bought on an empty chair. "Hi, Harry, dear. I think you've heard the exciting news." She pointed to the new silver badge pinned to Percy's chest. "Second Head Boy in the family!" she said, proudly.

"It's not easy." George sat next to Gwen and whispered. "I don't doubt that," said Mrs. Weasley, frowning suddenly. "I noticed that you two were not made prefects."

"Why should we want to be prefects," said George, rebelling against the notion, "then life wouldn't be alive at all."

"You set a good example for your sister!" snapped Mrs Weasley.

Gwen covered her mouth quickly to keep the laughter out, and then she whispered to George, "If Ginny learns from you, Mrs. Weasley will want to stuff you both back."

"Trust me, Gwen, Mom has always wanted to do this..." George smiled, narrowing his eyes.

"...it's like respawning us and getting two new Percys," added Fred, who joined the chat.

Imagining the picture of the Weasleys with seven Percys, Gwen rubbed her arms together, "Better not like this, then the Weasleys will soon become a new bureaucratic office for the Ministry of Magic." Then she looked up and down The two half-haired boys said, "But, gentlemen, I'm sorry to remind you. You have to get a decent OWLs certificate this year, otherwise Mrs. Weasley may let you be my classmates next year and take the exam again. "

Fred and George picked their ears impatiently together, and turned to steal Percy's badge.

love education

Gwen felt something was wrong with Katie, very wrong.

Every year at the beginning of school, she, Katie, the Weasley twins, plus an occasional Lee Jordan, should sit in the old box step by step.On the way, talk about the adventures of the holidays, and occasionally play Thunderbolt or other magic card games.

This year she set off from Diagon Alley with the Weasleys, and Gwen never found her friend Katie until she boarded the Hogwarts Express.

But she didn't struggle for long, and Fred and George took out a pinched and deformed candy like a treasure offering
