Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 499 Cat Washing Notes

   "Tom, don't run around, you're messing up the floor."

  Nia was wearing an apron, and ran out of the bathroom in a hurry, glaring at the fat cat in the hall who kept trying to get under the sofa, but got stuck.

"Meow meow meow!"

  After Tom was picked up, the screams echoed in the hall. Most cats don't like baths very much, and Tom is no exception.

  However, for Nia who likes to be clean, if her cat does not take a good bath, she will never want to run into her room.

  God knows how spoiled Tom is, living in one of those old castles, and maybe has fleas on him.

   "It's useless to bark, you have to wash it off today, otherwise you won't be able to eat small fish in the future." Nia put her hands on her hips, glaring at the fat cat who just broke free and slid into the sofa abruptly.

   "Albert, Albert, come down and help."

  Nia walked to the stairs and yelled at Albert upstairs.

  The door creaked open, and Albert put down the half-finished homework, and went downstairs in slippers.

  As soon as he entered the hall, Albert saw Nia squatting in front of the sofa, dragging a pair of cat paws with both hands, trying to pull Tom out of the sofa.

   "What's the matter." Albert saw the water on the ground, looked at Nia wearing an apron, and asked, "Are you going to bathe Tom?"

   "Come here and help." Nia urged, "That guy is so dirty, he actually wanted to run into my room last night, it really **** me off."

   "Move the sofa first." Albert said, "Come and help."

   "Don't you know how to use magic?" Nia let go of Tom's paw and went to help move the sofa together, but she still complained dissatisfiedly: "This should be easy for you!"

   "You can't use magic at home." Albert explained, "You should know."

  The two moved the sofa away together, and Albert hugged the whole cat while Tom got into the sofa again. However, the clothes were also wet from the water on Tom's body.

   "It's really troublesome, people are not allowed to use magic, so what's the use of learning magic?" Nia followed Albert into the bathroom.

   This time, Nia closed the bathroom door, not giving Tom a chance to slip away.

   Albert looked at the angry Nia, and said with a smile, "It's really troublesome not to be able to use it."

   "You must have never bathed Tom in school!"

"I've washed it several times, but I didn't wash it for Tom." Albert put Tom back into the bathtub, and the fat cat immediately struggled in the water, but he didn't like to touch the water. When Tom was about to take a bath, he struggled even harder. If the screams were heard by others, they would think they were cruel to animals.

   "This won't work, just wait a moment." Albert put Tom down and walked out of the bathroom.

   "What are you going to do." Nia asked suspiciously.

   "Get Tom some food so he can settle down."

   "If the food is useful, I don't need to ask you to help." Nia muttered, she had tried it just now, and it didn't work at all.

  Albert came back soon, and he only took a small dried fish.

"it's useless"

  However, Nia soon discovered that Tom, who had eaten the dried fish, actually calmed down. It should be said that he seemed to be... asleep?

   "I added a small amount of potion to the dried fish. Well, let's help Tom take a bath as soon as possible!" Albert noticed Nia's surprised expression and explained casually. He reached out to help support Tom's head, and let Nia apply the body wash to the fat cat.

  Even if Tom is quiet, bathing a cat is still a big job.

  Twenty minutes later, Albert walked out of the bathroom holding Tom wrapped in a towel, and then fed him some water with vitality potion, waking up the cat prince.

   "I'm so exhausted."

  Nia looked at Tom who was shaking his fat body with resentment, and Albert was holding a hair dryer to help Tom dry the water on his body.

   "Go and rest for a while if you are tired!" Albert turned Tom over and blew on Tom.

   "No, let me do it."

  Nia took the hair dryer from Albert and rubbed Tom back and forth on the towel.

   "Tom is getting fatter and fatter, I thought you would help him lose weight."

   "It's not an easy task to make a fat man lose weight." Albert said rather helplessly.

   So far, the task of losing weight to Tom is still hanging on the task panel and has not been completed.

  Albert took out two bottles of homemade bubble tea from the refrigerator, handed one of them to Nia, and asked, "How are you doing at school? Have you made any good friends?"

"Of course."

  Nia raised her chin and said, "Jenny, Shirley... Well, what are you asking for?"

   "It's nothing, I just asked casually." Albert put the pearl milk tea on the table, went back to the room and changed his clothes.

   "By the way, I heard from Herb that he wants to promote this."

   "They don't plan to be lawyers, but plan to open a milk tea shop?" Albert asked with a smile.

   "No." Nia shook her head and said, "It seems that Uncle Charlie is interested in bubble tea."

  Charlie is Daisy's younger brother, a half-hearted chef who is said to have opened a restaurant in London dedicated to British cuisine.

   As for the taste.

   Well, the Andersons never went to that Uncle Charlie's restaurant anyway.

   "Well, Uncle Charlie asked me a while ago, what do you like?" Nia glanced at Albert secretly, and said with a strange expression: "It seems that I want to come to you to discuss this matter."

   "Ask me to discuss?"

   "Daisy's suggestion, ask Uncle Charlie to come over and talk to you in person." Nia put down the glass, and picked up the hair dryer again to blow Tom's tail.

   "She probably thinks that Uncle Charlie is not as smart as you, and he is not as smart as you in certain things, and needs your help to give some advice."

   "Why didn't Daisy tell me directly?" Albert never thought that he would be the one to promote bubble tea to the UK.

   "You are just on vacation, Daisy doesn't want to disturb you for the time being, and you are not short of money, as long as you are willing to buy a lottery ticket, you can win." Nia pulled Tom back who was about to slip away.

  Letting Nia tell Albert about this is to get a vaccination first.

  After dinner, Daisy talked to Albert about it in person.

  Of course, if Charlie wanted to make money with bubble tea, he would need to pay a price.

   About 20% of the profit.

  Of course they knew that Albert would not be short of money, but Herb and Daisy didn't really want Albert to make money through the lottery.

   After all, this kind of thing is too frequent, and there will always be a day when someone discovers it.

   Albert agreed.

  He also found that Daisy was adhering to the habits of lawyers in some respects, even if he was his younger brother, he would not be lenient at all.

  Using Daisy's words, it is one thing to need something, but another thing to give it.
