Chapter 42 I Heard that You Sell Fire Dragons Here?

When Annie left Ollivander's wand shop and continued to wander around, planning to complete her trip to Diagon Alley, a crisp voice from behind interrupted her, making her stop Look around to see strange movements.

"Hello! My name is Hermione Granger! Little sister, are you alone?" The main task of Hermione's visit to Diagon Alley today is to go to Lihen Bookstore to buy the textbooks she needs for her second grade! In addition to these necessary, some extracurricular reading materials that she is interested in are also indispensable!

Of course, the premise is to go to Gringotts to exchange some Galleons first! After all, she only has pounds left on her body now, and pounds cannot be used directly in Diagon Alley! And her father, Mr. Granger, left her to wander alone after bringing her here! It's also nicknamed: To exercise Hermione's autonomy, in fact, she just wants to find opportunities to be lazy!

On the way to Gringotts, Hermione saw this curious little girl standing in the street and looking around at a glance! She originally thought it was some little girl who accidentally got lost with her parents, because she looked several years younger than herself!

Since this is the case, well-meaning Miss Granger will of course volunteer to help after seeing this situation! So she took advantage of the situation and went up to say hello to the little girl, to see if she could do a little help.

"Huh? Were you talking to me just now? Ah! You are also good! My name is Anne, Anne Hasta. Nice to meet you!" Seeing someone greeted herself, Annie was not stage-frightened and recovered After that, he said generously.

"I'm glad to see you too! By the way, Annie, why are you here alone? Did you get separated from your parents? Do you want me to help?" Hermione looked around, but found nothing suspicious. People from Annie's parents began to ask.

"No! That's not true! I actually came here alone!" Mom and dad, in fact, Annie really wanted to find them too! But she can't go back! The useless little thing of the space gem, it is estimated that it will take a long time to complete the charge!

"It turned out to be a person?!" Hermione was a little surprised now!

How dare such a young girl come to Diagon Alley alone? And still without the company of parents? Her parents are really irresponsible! Just like Hermione's father, Mr. Granger! He also left himself alone! What irresponsible parents! Damn it!

"Hey! Wait for me, Annie!" Hermione saw that Annie turned around and walked towards the pet store after she had just said a few words to her. After knowing that Annie came to Diagon Alley by herself, she felt a sudden burst of love. Hermione decided to spend some time with her, so she hurried after her.

"Annie, are you... wanting to buy a pet you like?" Walking into the pet store, seeing Annie staring at the pets in the store, Hermione thought the little girl was a pet. Want to buy a pet to play with! But speaking of pets, Hermione doesn't have a pet now either! Maybe it's time to pick one up for yourself?

"Welcome to the Magical Animal Pet Store! Two beautiful ladies, what can I do for you?" Seeing the business coming, the owner of the pet store quickly stepped forward to entertain him, "We have all kinds of pets here! We have all kinds of pets here! As long as it is what you want! Just ask!"

"Oh? Really?" Hearing that the shop owner said that she had any pets here, Annie turned her head and didn't look any further. As for pets, although she has the best Tibbers, she still wants another one to play with! "So, do you have anything like a fire dragon here?"

"Ah? Fire, fire dragon?! Very, sorry! Dear customer, the sale of fire dragons is prohibited by the Ministry of Magic! We really don't have them here! Absolutely not!" The shopkeeper paused and swallowed his saliva! Then secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead!

Her eyes began to wander,

She wondered in her heart, could it be that the two little charmanders she smuggled a while ago were discovered and reported? It shouldn't be! She is very secretive when she does things! And buyers can be a single line of contact! How could it be discovered? Could these two kids be Aurors disguised as Polyjuice Potion? Ruined! Ruined! This time it might really be over! I shouldn't be greedy for that little money in the first place!

"Well... why don't you try to buy an owl? You see, they are not only beautiful, but also very smart! They can also send you letters! How convenient! These! All of them! Each only needs Three Gold Galleons! How about choosing one?" He was already preparing for the worst, and although he was still suspicious, the shopkeeper still forced himself to introduce the products in the shop calmly. She knew that the more it was like this, the more she couldn't mess with herself!

"I don't want it!" Annie looked at the various owls hanging in the cage, and curled her lips in disdain! "They poop, they stink! And they look stupid and stupid! I don't want flat-haired beasts like that!"

"This..." Hearing Anne say that owls are stupid and stupid, the shop owner just wanted to say something, but the owls in the shop immediately blew up their nests and flopped around in the cage.

It seems that they just understood what Annie said, and wanted to break free from the cage and peck Annie a few times! They are magical pets, but they are all intelligent! How dare this little human kid call them stupid, stupid and stinky? Just let them out and definitely peck her all over the head!

"Then, how about these cats, both of you? They are considerate, obedient and obedient! Each... only costs 2 Galleons and 10 Sickles each! If you each buy one, I can also free you Go to those twenty Sickles!" After the lady owner took great pains to calm down the owls, she turned her head and introduced the cats.

"This cat seems very nice!" Hermione took a fancy to a big ginger cat!

Its fur is golden and brilliant, and it has a flat face, as if it once rushed to the wall and crushed it! And that fat, blown-up tail like a bottle brush! Hermione thought she fell in love with the cat at first sight! Because this cat is different from other cats, it just stayed there quietly, looking lonely and vicissitudes of life, it looks so pitiful! Hermione's love strikes again! She made a decision right away, and later freed up two months of pocket money to buy it!

"I don't want it! Cats shed their fur! And they have lice! It's so dirty!" Annie wouldn't want such a thing! Huh? Just as Annie finished speaking, she realized that among the group of cats, one of the black cats dared to stare at her? It seems that he still looks unconvinced!

Annie also immediately stared back! Said with eyes: What are you looking at? look again! Let's buy you and eat you! Then the black cat seemed to sense Annie's malice, and immediately became cowardly! The ears also began to droop, and the head turned to the side.

"Okay! If that's the case, what about the toad? Only one Galleon!" The shopkeeper was a little discouraged, as if he didn't have much hope for the toad! Besides the other older girl looking like she wants to buy a pussy, this little one is too much to serve!

"It's disgusting! I really want to squash it!" Looking at the slimy toad covered with tumors lying on the table, Annie hurriedly took two steps back! How could she buy such a disgusting thing?

"You don't have anything decent here?" Annie looked around, and there seemed to be nothing worth buying here! Not to mention the rats over there! How could anyone keep a mouse as a pet? The thought of someone holding a mouse as a pet all day long gave Annie a chill! Someone who does that must be a pervert, right?

"Oh! It seems that it is gone!" The shopkeeper reluctantly took off the reading glasses she was wearing on the bridge of her nose and wiped them, feeling extremely depressed for a while.

She has already introduced all the mainstream pets in her store, but unfortunately the other party didn't like any of them, and the others who haven't been introduced are probably even more disliked! She even affirmed what she thought in her heart. Perhaps these two little ancestors really came to investigate the situation in disguise? Did they really receive some kind of report? Merlin's Fatty! In total, she only did two smuggling jobs. How could she be discovered so quickly?

"Don't you have any special pets? Big guys like fire dragons?" Annie asked again without giving up! You don’t even have a dragon, how dare you open a magic pet shop?

"Fire dragon?! Our store will not do that kind of illegal business! There is no fire dragon! If there is no fire dragon, there is no! Absolutely not!" The female shopkeeper was almost scared to death again! This little girl is still thinking about fire dragons! really! She must have come here in disguise to collect evidence, right? It must be! She was about to chase someone away, but suddenly remembered that she still had a good thing! And the key is not breaking the law!

"Wait, I have a pet here! You may be interested! Please wait! I'll be right back!" After speaking, he hurriedly turned to the back of the shop, as if he was rummaging for something.

Right now, the shop owner doesn't want to care about the real purpose of these two people! If the two of them really came to investigate in disguise, she might just drive them away, maybe it would make them think she was guilty! There are tricks! It will probably be even more troublesome after that! That being the case, she simply took out the treasure of the town store and scared them away with a high price!

After a while, the shopkeeper took out a box. This made Annie, who was expecting a little bit, immediately discouraged. It must be a small thing that can be packed in such a small box! She wouldn't like these little things! At least one must be as tall, mighty and domineering as Tibbers! Dragons like that would have been great! It can fly and breathe fire! It looks ferocious and big! It's a pity that this pet store doesn't sell it!

"Look! Do you know what this is? Let me tell you! This is the egg of the phoenix! Isn't it amazing?" The shopkeeper carefully opened the box and handed it to the two of them as if offering a treasure. If it wasn't for driving away these two suspected Aurors in disguise, she wouldn't have taken out her treasure of the town so easily!

"It is said that as long as you wrap it in the flames of the phoenix, it can hatch quickly! Isn't it amazing?" Now, you can't say that I don't have anything decent here, can you? This thing is much rarer than a fire dragon! She accidentally stole it from an unknown nest on a sycamore tree back then! After she asked someone to help identify it, she realized that it was a rare phoenix egg!

"Wow! It turned out to be a phoenix egg! Is it real or not?" Of course Hermione knew about the legendary phoenix, and she had seen it several times with her own eyes! That's their headmaster Dumbledore's pet Fawkes! However, it was the first time she had seen a phoenix egg! It is indeed rare!

"Phoenix egg?" Annie stared intently at the fiery red egg, used her magic power to stare into it for a while, and then nodded after feeling the life energy with the scorching magic aura inside! I don't think the shop owner is cheating on her, it does look like a good thing!

"Okay! How much?" Anyway, there are no fire dragons here! Annie decided, then temporarily buy this egg first! You can't come here for nothing!

"Ah? This! Are you sure you really want to buy it?" The shopkeeper looked at Annie's clothes and behavior again. Did he really miss it just now? They weren't agents sent by the Aurors?

The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and began to secretly calculate the possible payment ability of the little girl's family in front of him. Now that it has reached this point, as long as she is willing to pay, she plans to sell this egg as soon as possible! Today's sudden surprise frightened her a lot! She urgently needs some gold coins to comfort her wounded heart!

"Five thousand gold Galleons! Do you want it?" The shop owner doesn't think Annie can afford the money, but maybe her family will not be able to resist the little girl's crying, so maybe they will be ruthless and buy it?

You know, she has held this egg in her hands for a long time! Even she didn't know if the egg had been broken after a long time! It's always good to be able to make a move now! This kind of thing is not only expensive, but also not as easy to sell as a fire dragon! cough cough! Fire dragon or something, can't think about it anymore! She doesn't sell them in her shop! There is absolutely no such thing as smuggling!

"Five Thousand Gold Galleons!? This is too expensive!" Hermione was taken aback!

How dare she say such an outrageous price! Five thousand gold galleons is enough to buy more than a thousand owls, right? Even if this is really a living phoenix, it shouldn't be worth the price, right? Hermione felt that this price was absolutely unacceptable to her! What's more, it's just a phoenix egg! Not a real phoenix yet! Who knows if it is a phoenix inside? Maybe it's just a cuckoo or a peacock that hatches?

"Here!" To the surprise of Hermione and the shopkeeper, Annie took out a large bag of gold coins from the space pocket without hesitation, and threw it on the table with a bang. Annie just roughly grabbed a bunch of gold coins with her pocket. , should be enough for five thousand, right? Anyway, she has a lot of these things! The space pocket is piled up like a hill! These are the collections of the old dragon in the land of voodoo back then, and she won't feel bad about spending them!

Collapse for room to expand? The owner of the store didn't feel much strange about Annie's behavior of taking out gold coins from her pocket, but just felt a little bit emotional that children from rich families are different, and they carry so much money casually when they go out! But when she opened the bag, she froze.

"This doesn't seem to be a Galleon, does it?" The shopkeeper picked up a few more and looked at them, and it really wasn't a Galleon!

"What are Galleons? These are gold coins! Is there a difference?" Annie didn't know what Galleons were. She used these gold coins to buy food at the Leaky Cauldron before! I haven't seen anyone say it can't be used!

"Sorry! Children, I'm afraid you have to go to Gringotts to exchange it first!" The character of the pet shop owner is not as unlimited as that of Old Tom. Although the weight of these gold coins is more than that of Galleons, she still suggested to Annie. . Of course, smuggling fire dragons has nothing to do with character! It's just a way of making a living! Recently, the cash flow in her store is not open, and the smuggling is also forced!

"Annie! I was going to Gringotts too! Why don't we go together!" Hermione finally remembered that she was also going to exchange pounds, and she could take a fancy to that one when she came back later. Big face cat buy it!

"Alright then!" Annie glanced at the phoenix eggs in the box with some reluctance.

"Don't worry! Children! I will definitely keep it for you! I promise!" The shopkeeper saw Annie's worry, and promised with a smile.

She seems to be sure to make a big deal today! Maybe give myself a few days off afterward? By the way, avoid the limelight? As long as this transaction is completed, maybe she will no longer need to lack funds, and will never engage in the dangerous business of smuggling fire dragons, right?
