Chapter 46 How to Abduct a Cat

"What?" Hermione stood up immediately, looking at the thick-browed Hagrid angrily, "That's absolutely not possible, I don't agree.

And Hagrid, how can you have such an idea?

Let us steal a cat, you thought of it."

"Shh!" Hagrid made a gesture of silence, looking at the three people awkwardly, "I didn't say steal, I said borrow, borrow a cat."

"Impossible." Hermione said speechlessly: "Hagrid, I think you may not know that Aaron treats Abe like a treasure. He takes him with him during class, meals, and sleep. He is almost inseparable."

Hagrid nodded, "I have also secretly inquired about it, so I ask you."

"But..." Harry was very puzzled, "What do you want a cat for?

There are so many cats in the school, can't you change one?"

"Hahaha!" Hagrid laughed proudly, "You don't understand, I have a special intuition about animals.

When you first came to Hogwarts, I noticed that the cat was not simple."

"No matter how simple it is, it's just a cat!" Ron said.

"No, it's too small, too small, I even doubt it's a cat." Hagrid said very confidently, "You have come into contact with Abe more times than I have, you should be able to feel more directly that the little guy's IQ is not ordinary."

"Not ordinary greedy." Ron murmured.

"Greedy?" Hagrid was instantly interested, "What does it usually eat?"

"Everything.

Candy, biscuits, cakes, puddings, chocolate, potatoes, and the most is chicken legs.

Five out of ten times it was holding chicken legs and chewing them." Ron was suddenly stunned when he said this, and wailed in disbelief: "Oh my God! My life is not as good as a cat?"

Harry also patted Ron's shoulder with some empathy. One of them was living under someone else's roof, and the other was from a poor family. Compared with Abe, a cat, their lives were simply difficult.

"You see, just from the diet, you can see that Abe is special. Do ordinary cats have such a good appetite?" Hagrid said.

"This further proves how much Aaron values ​​Abe." Hermione shook her head and said, "Hagrid, I advise you not to take advantage of it."

"I don't want to do anything to it.

People who know me know that I never abuse animals and I really treat them as friends.

I'm just curious and want to observe carefully. If you don't trust me, you can supervise from the side."

Harry smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Hagrid, it's not that we don't trust you.

It's just that this matter is too..."

"Too embarrassing." Ron said.

"Yes, too embarrassing."

"Embarrassment is secondary." Hermione looked grim, "More importantly, it will make Aaron's favorability towards us plummet."

"That's right!" Harry was a little puzzled, "Hagrid, why don't you borrow it yourself?"

"If I could borrow it, I wouldn't ask you." Hagrid said helplessly, "Ever since I showed my interest in Abe in the library last time, he has been very wary of me."

"That's even worse. Once Abe is lost, Aaron will think of you first." Hermione said.

"That's why I asked you to borrow it.

I asked around. Apart from a few substitute professors at Hogwarts, Draco has the best relationship with him.

But he alone, Stryling, can't help me. He might even tell Aaron.

So I thought of you. You three can still talk to him in Gryffindor." Hagrid said with a smile.

After a few seconds, he found that the three of them were silent. He sighed slightly, "If you don't want to help me, it doesn't matter. There will be opportunities in the future. But those who participate in the design of those mechanisms..."

"Wait, Hagrid." Harry pondered and made a decision, "We can help..."

"Harry?" Hermione interrupted him and shook her head at him with an unpleasant look.

"Hermione, I know what I'm talking about.

But it's clear at a glance which is more important, the Philosopher's Stone or a pet cat."

"I agree with Harry's decision, too." Ron said, "We are borrowing, not stealing.

Besides, we supervised Hagrid throughout the process and ensured that Abe would not suffer any grievance or harm. We will return it to him in a few hours at most.

It shouldn't be a big deal... right!"

Hearing this, Hermione was a little angry, and her chest kept rising and falling.

Is that borrowing? No matter how good the excuse is, it can't cover up the essence of deception.

"You will regret it.

I won't participate in this matter, you can do it yourself!"

After Hermione finished speaking, she walked out of Hagrid's hut angrily, leaving the three of them looking at each other inside.

After coming out, she hesitated whether to tell Aaron about this, but after thinking about it carefully, she gave up, because Harry and Ron couldn't succeed.

And if she told Aaron, Harry and the others would know without thinking that it was her who leaked the secret.

In the hut, Harry was also a little embarrassed, "Hagrid, we will try our best to help you borrow Abe, but please tell us who participated in designing the mechanism of the Philosopher's Stone after you are done. This is very important to us."

"Of course!" Hagrid nodded, "But this is also confidential. I can tell you, but you can't tell others, understand?

If you can't do this, then even if you bring Abe to me, I won't say anything."

Harry and Ron looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Hagrid is still the same Hagrid, and his principles are still so strong.

This is good. It is definitely not easy for Snape to get the method through Momo from him.

......

The next day, the hall.

Aaron took Abe to have lunch here. Harry and Ron looked at each other and started to act.

After a while, the two sat opposite Aaron in a familiar manner. In addition to their favorite food, they put a chicken leg on their plates.

They thought about it carefully. It is definitely impossible to borrow directly. Their relationship with Aaron is not that strong.

Then we can only save the country in a roundabout way. What good ideas do we have to abduct a cat?

It's very simple, four words: cater to its taste.

Don't you just like to eat chicken legs? Then use chicken legs to tempt it!

In short, all food in Hogwarts is free, and they don't have to spend any cost.

As long as they make Abe happy, and then take the opportunity to ask to take care of it for half a day, Aaron should not refuse, and the possibility of success is still very high.

Sure enough, they just sat here, without saying anything, and the white cat opposite was already drooling, looking at their plates eagerly.

"You are useless, you can't walk when you see delicious food." Aaron held his forehead speechlessly, and then knocked on Abe's faucet to make it come out of the state of absent-mindedness.

"It's okay!" Harry smiled, and then very friendly pushed the chicken leg on his plate to Abe.

Abe stared at the chicken leg so close for several seconds, but he resisted the urge to eat it, and even wiped his saliva with his paw.

Then he looked at Aaron with his big watery eyes, and then stretched out his white paw to point at the chicken leg, expressing his meaning: I want to eat it.

These actions really made Harry and Ron feel incredible, and they also understood why Hagrid was interested in this cat. This is simply not something a cat can do.

"Are pets so self-disciplined now?" Ron said in astonishment, and suddenly thought of his pet mouse Banban, and couldn't help feeling sad.

Look at other people's cats, and then look at your own mouse. One is well-dressed, cute, and very self-disciplined, and the other is sloppy, has a negative appearance, and is lazy and gluttonous all day long. There is simply no comparison.

"What self-discipline? This guy just wants to have a meal because his diet is arranged." Aaron shook his head, then patted its head and said helplessly: "This is just once, and it won't happen again."

Abe nodded quickly, then picked up the chicken leg and started to eat it crazily.

"Aaron, your cat is so smart!" Harry said with emotion, "and it seems to listen to you very much."

"That's right, Abe has been with me since he was born, and I raised him so white and fat." Aaron said proudly, raising a dragon for a few months is quite a sense of accomplishment.

It's just that it's still a little bit away from evolution. I have to use magic points to stimulate it later, so that it can quickly awaken the second talent skill.

"Oh! Is that so!" Ron also handed over the chicken leg on the plate, looked at Harry, and then tentatively stretched out his right hand.

But when his finger was still a palm away from Abe, Abe suddenly stopped eating, turned around and bared his teeth at Ron, scaring him to retract his hand immediately.

"Aaron, is it so bad-tempered?" Ron was a little embarrassed, "I just gave it a chicken leg, and it won't even let me touch it?"

"Uh...

Sorry, it usually won't let boys touch it without my permission.

In addition to my family, only Draco and Hermione have held it in school." Aaron explained.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and both felt that the difficulty of abducting this cat suddenly increased by several levels.
