Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 207 Daily Chat in Diagon Alley

When Ron took out his mouse from his jacket pocket, Hermione hugged the yellow cat tightly in her arms, "Relax, Crookshanks, that's Scabbers, Ron's pet. Don't get excited. I promise, I'll prepare lots of snacks for you."

Scabbers was held in Ron's hand, struggling uneasily. "Look, he is Scabbers," Ron said a little embarrassedly, "He used to belong to Percy, and when he was given to me, he was already bald. Look, I don't know what's wrong with him recently, he always seems very nervous, he wasn't like this before." After saying that, he glanced at Crookshanks meaningfully.

Hermione snorted in dissatisfaction, "He's not going anywhere now!"

Sainz cast a spell on his hand and took Scabbers from Ron. "He does look a bit worse. Does the owner of the pet store have any suggestions?"

"She suggested giving him some rat tonic, and Ron bought some yesterday," said Harry.

Sainz carefully observed all the details of Scabbers, just as he had observed other animals before. The trio knew he had this habit, and no one felt strange. "Ron, he seems to be missing a toe, and his left ear is also missing. Has it always been like this?"

"Uh...it seems to have been like this since the first time I met him, probably." Ron sounded a little uncertain.

"That's not easy. He's been alive for so long. It seems like you guys have taken good care of him. If he was released into the wild, he might have died long ago."

Ron agreed with him, "You're right. If no one takes care of it, this stupid mouse might not survive a day!"

Sainz took out a camera and took a picture of Banban, which made him very uneasy. He tried hard to escape from him. Sainz didn't intend to expose him here, so he didn't stop him and handed him to Ron.

Ron scolded him a little angrily: "What a stupid rat, it's just taking pictures, you don't have to be so ignorant."

Scabbers was stuffed back into Ron's pocket, and the big-faced cat that was struggling to jump out of Hermione's arms also calmed down, and the few of them started chatting and laughing again.

Hermione mentioned that she went to France for vacation during the holidays, and Harry said a little vaguely that he blew up his cousin Dudley's aunt during the vacation, saying that he was angry and left there with his things, and then magically encountered a magic bus.

"It seems you have seen the ticket seller and Mr. Plan!" Sainz said while eating ice cream.

"Saenz, do you know them?!" Harry seemed a little surprised.

"After taking it a few times, you should understand that it is more convenient to take the Knight Bus from Dundee to Diagon Alley." Sainz did not elaborate.

The trio became interested, and Hermione said, "By the way, Sainz, this is the first time we know that your family is in Dundee!"

"Didn't I tell you? I used to live in the Dundee City Orphanage. It was Professor Sinistra who picked me up."

The trio didn't really know much about Sainz's background. They usually saw him being positive and optimistic, and they didn't seem to expect that he might be an orphan. The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.

"Haha, don't worry about these details. I don't mind my background at all. I don't know how great it is to have no one to restrict me!"

The trio thought he was just pretending to be strong and avoided the topic tacitly. Harry even looked at him with sympathy. One could only say that they had a lot of inner drama.

As they were chatting, the twins came over and said, "Hi, Sainz, I didn't expect you to be here, along with our cutest little brother, Ronnie!"

Harry and Hermione couldn't help but bow their heads and stifle laughter.

Ron's face suddenly turned red like a ripe pepper, and he shouted angrily, "Absolutely, absolutely, don't call me that again!"

"George, what should we do? Little cutie Ronnie is angry!"

"Oh, Fred, you better be careful, she'll tell Mom!"

Ron couldn't stand it anymore, he looked at the ice cream in his hand, took a bite, and threw it hard at them, but they dodged it quickly. He must have regretted it after throwing it, and you can tell from the expression on his face.

Sainz interrupted the twins' mischievous teasing of their brother, "You two are really something, why do you always tease him!"

"Oh wow, I'm so sad!" George pretended to hold his heart.

"Saienz, when did you become a friend of our stupid brother? Be careful that he infects you!"

"I'm going to tell Mom, I'm definitely going to tell Mom!" Ron started shouting angrily again when he heard what Fred said.

"Look," George said to Sainz in mock horror, "we were right, he's going to tell mom. We're so scared!"

"Alright, alright!" Sainz patted the stool next to him, "Stop playing around there, come and sit down. Master Autumn is treating us today, and you can each choose an ice cream!"

The twins stopped their antics and said, "I was wondering why our poor brother would be willing to throw away an ice cream. It turns out that the noble Master Autumn paid for him!"

"George, please stop talking. Our 'poor brother' is about to cry!"

After hearing what the twins said, Ron seemed to feel that it was very rude of him to throw the ice cream away. He was now regretfully apologizing to Sainz: "I'm sorry, I was too angry just now..."

"It's okay, don't worry about it!"

While this was being said, the twins continued, "Fred, I suddenly realized that I am also a poor guy! What should I do!"

"What should I do? Of course I can't let down Master Autumn's kindness!"

When the two men came out of the ice cream shop, Sainz asked them, "How did you get here? Did you just run into us, or are you here specifically to look for someone?"

"Ah, if Master Autumn hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. Our gentle mother is afraid that some people will go to Hogwarts in a maverick way like they did last year, so she ordered us to find them back within the specified time!"

Hearing the twins' words, Harry and Ron looked at each other and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Hermione quickly checked the mechanical watch on her wrist. "I think Mrs. Weasley's worry is not unnecessary. It's already ten o'clock. We should go back to the Leaky Cauldron. We shouldn't let her worry."

"We shouldn't let her worry!" Ron muttered, "If someone didn't know, they would think you were her daughter!"

"Ron!" Hermione stood up suddenly holding her cat, glared at him fiercely, and then said to Sainz, "Thank you for the ice cream, Sainz, but I have to leave now!" Then she walked away without looking back.

"Hermione!" Harry tried to call her, but failed. He said goodbye to everyone, got up and ran after her.

Ron tried to show his firm manly stance, but as he looked at the two people going away, he smiled awkwardly and ran after them.

The twins looked at Ron's embarrassed appearance, clapped their hands behind him and laughed loudly.

Seeing that it was almost time, Sainz stood up to pay the bill and said goodbye to the twins, "See you on the train!"

"Goodbye, honorable Master Autumn!" x2
