Harry Potter: I'm an Exemplary Student

Chapter 14: Closing the Door is a Good Habit



In the Wizarding World, mice are the cheapest pets designated by Hogwarts, so they naturally have a wide audience, including many little witches.

However, most of them will choose a cat at the same price but with beautiful fur, good character, and a cute appearance, a black mouse that can live longer, or a white mouse that looks cleaner.

This is the first time Kyle has seen a little witch who likes this kind of ordinary field mouse, and judging from her dress. She doesn't look like a wizard who is short of money.

Having been in the Wizarding World for eleven years, Kyle has some experience.

Although the girls' clothes are not so gorgeous, the fabrics are very sophisticated, and the workmanship is also very delicate. In addition, the iconic pattern on the cuffs should be from the Twilfitt and Tattings.

That place is much more expensive than Madam Malkin, and the starting price is twenty Galleon.

How can those who can spend money there not afford a better pet?

From this point of view, she should really like this Mouse.

No wonder she came to find me.

Why not buy Mouse Tonic in Diagon Alley? To put it bluntly, that thing is just sugar water, and its properties are similar to those of functional drinks. It can be used to refresh yourself, but don't expect it to be of any great use.

Although the other party's aesthetics are somewhat unique, Kyle did not make a fuss, and his expression did not change.

Don't forget that there are even ruthless people in the Wizarding World who like Acromantula.

He had seen that thing once in Newt's Suitcase. How should I put it? Its appearance basically challenges the three views of normal humans. It is the kind that will become a childhood shadow as long as you take a look at it.

Kyle was disgusted enough, and he hadn't entered Newt's Suitcase for a whole year since then.

In comparison, it is normal for a little witch to like Mouse.

...

Soon, Kyle took out a thumb-sized bottle from the Suitcase and handed it over. "This bottle is for you. If you think it works, come back. But you will be charged. The price may be a little expensive, one Sickle, but it is definitely worth it."

"Thank you, thank you."

The little girl named Kanna hurriedly reached out to take the bottle but did not leave afterward. Instead, she stood there, looking at the bottle in her hand and then at Kyle, with a tangled face.

"Why, don't you think it's not enough?"

Kyle thought she thought it was too little and explained. "It's not that I'm stingy. It's mainly to try the effect first and not use the Mouse Tonic much. Two or three drops at a time is enough. Although this bottle is not small, it is enough for you to use for a month."

"No, no, I don't mean that."

After hearing Kyle's words, Kanna shook her head repeatedly, and then, under Kyle and Cedric's gaze, she whispered. "I don't think it's too little. I want the red one."

Red?

Cedric, who was standing by, noticed that the Mouse Tonic in Kanna's hand was a rather turbid orange-yellow color, a bit like a mashed orange pudding.

The one Kyle had given Percy before was a crystal clear red color without any impurities.

They were obviously the same thing, but they looked so different, and anyone could see that the crystal clear red color was much better than the turbid orange-yellow color.

Even if it was free, you couldn't fool around like that.

For a moment, Cedric's eyes changed when he looked at Kyle.

Sure enough, a profiteer like Kyle would definitely be sorted to Azkaban.

At this time, Kanna seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly took out a delicate little handbag.

"That... I can buy it."

Kanna shook the handbag lightly, and a bunch of Galleon fell on the table with a jingle.

A total of 33 Galleon and a few Sickles.

This scene made Cedric's eyes almost pop out.

He only had 10 Galleons in a semester, and 33 Galleons, minus the decimals, would be three times his.

Is he jealous? Of course, he is jealous, but Cedric can bear it. After all, with his personality, he doesn't care so much about the number of Galleons as long as it is enough.

But Kanna's action in the next second made him break his defense directly.

"Is this all you have left?" Kanna looked a little disappointed, biting her lip, and whispered. "It doesn't matter. If it's not enough, I can still get it from Gringotts. As long as it can make Pochi live longer, any number of Galleons will do."

And, there's more??

Cedric couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice. At that moment, he was really scared by this inhumane remark.

Listen, any number of Galleons will do...

It would be fine if it were an adult wizard, but for a freshman who just entered school to say this, isn't it a bit too much?

Or is this Slytherin's daily life?

I've learned something new.

On the other hand, Kyle was in no mood to care about Cedric's thoughts. He looked at Kanna, hesitant to speak, and felt a headache.

Kyle knows their own business. The Mouse Tonic should be orange-yellow.

As for Percy's bottle, it was added with ingredients. Ordinary Mouse would probably get cold on the spot after drinking it.

But the problem is that he can't say it, and from Kanna's look, it seems that she thinks he has a tonic that can prolong the life of Mouse. Kyle thinks she must have listened to Percy's words word for word.

In this case, Kyle can't explain it clearly unless he tells the truth.

"That... Kanna, it's like this."

Kyle thought for a moment and said. "That special Mouse Tonic is too strong to be drunk directly. Before that, you must use ordinary tonic to strengthen the Mouse's physique."

This is the only way Kyle can think of.

If Kyle says he doesn't have it or can't make it himself, what if the other party turns around and looks for Newt?

Newt is not easy to find, but Dumbledore is in Hogwarts. In the wizarding world, even a three-year-old child knows how good their relationship is.

Since Kanna is wearing extraordinary clothes, she can't be a Muggle. If she finds Dumbledore, she might really see Newt.

"I should have closed the door when Percy came." Kyle rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Fortunately, this matter is not difficult to solve. Just wait for the holiday and go to Dorset.

He remembered that Newt had once brewed a tonic for the Murtlap. This magical creature had a body structure that was very similar to that of a field mouse. The Mouse in the pet store basically all had some Murtlap blood.

Just like Cat and Kneazle.

So when the time comes, he can just dilute it a little and use it directly. At least it will be no problem to let an ordinary mouse live three to five years longer.

"I will feed the tonic to Pochi on time."

Kanna did not doubt him and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, it will be fine." Kyle smiled and handed over a chocolate frog. "Eat some chocolate, it will make you feel a lot more relaxed."

"No, no, I can buy it myself."

Kanna glanced at the chocolate frog, then immediately looked away, pinching the hem of her robe with both hands.

"It's okay, take it." Kyle smiled and said, "Just consider it as a meeting gift. I hope we can become classmates."

"...Thank you."

Hearing Kyle's words, Kanna took the chocolate frog with a red face but did not eat it. Instead, she carefully put it away.
