Chapter 007: The First Encounter with the Little Loli

At this point, Ivan smiled and looked at Ms. Karen, "Isn't that right, Ms. Karen?"

A very reasonable price, even if it is 1000 gold galleons, I would purchase it without hesitation. Evan took out a small wallet, snapped his fingers, and one by one, golden galleons flew out, stacking neatly on the counter

"Excuse me, are there any magical creatures here?" Hermione's clear and bright voice rang out

Aiden and Hermione finally meet for the first time

If the lineage of the Lightning Leopard is added, what was originally just a pet could, after training, possess considerable combat power. This Bengal cat is only three weeks old, and the intimacy cultivated from a young age is quite high, which makes Ivan very satisfied

Ms. Karen, who had been standing by, finally found an opportunity to interject, "Mr. Ivan, a new Bengal cat has arrived at the store, and I believe you will be pleased. By the way, this Bengal cat has one-quarter lineage of the lightning leopard."

Hermione nodded confidently, looking curiously at Paul and Aubrey, "According to the records in 'Hogwarts: A History', the kitchens of Hogwarts employ house-elves"

Ms. Karen took the initiative to explain, "A typical Bengal cat costs at most a few dozen gold galons, but due to its lineage from the lightning leopard, once it matures, it will become a good assistant for wizards. I believe Mr. Ivan can understand this, right?"

Ms. Karen explained, "Due to its lineage from the lightning leopard, this Bengal cat has undergone a mutation. It is currently only three weeks old and is very suitable for wizard cultivation"

Hermione was not shy either, and responded, "Hello, my name is Hermione, Hermione Granger"

Yes. Aiven affirmed, "If I am not mistaken, this should be your first time entering the world of wizards, right?"

If it is said that Ivan was merely expressing goodwill, it might instead raise the vigilance of Hermione's family. However, since Ivan put forward his own request, it appears much more natural, at least representing a form of conditional exchange, does it not

Hermione listened to the conversation between the two and asked with some excitement, "Dragon egg? Are there really dragons? I read about it in 'Hogwarts: A History', but are there really dragons?"

"So expensive?" Marge Granger exclaimed in a lowered voice. After exchanging currency at Gringotts and purchasing other school supplies, she had begun to grasp the prices in the wizarding world.

Aiven explained with understanding, "They are house-elves, a sub-human intelligent species. I believe Hermione must have seen them in 'Hogwarts: A History', right?"

"No!" Aiven shook his head, "I am also a freshman, in the first year this year. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be classmates." Aiven said with a smile, "By the way, Hermione, have you prepared your school supplies?"

I have not chosen a suitable pet either," Aiven sighed, "I have not yet found a satisfactory pet.

"Only a pet is missing, what about you?" Hermione retorted

Otherwise, based on the industry and influence of the Gold Griffin family in the Muggle world, it would be easy to exchange for 10 million Galleons, which would be simply outrageous

Indeed, possessing the lineage of the lightning leopard! Aiven nodded in satisfaction. The Bengal leopard cat is inherently striking, and with proper care, its body length can even reach 1 meter, complemented by a half-meter tail, making it undoubtedly a small leopard

Aiven's eyes lit up, "Quick, take it out and let me see?"

In the absence of the ability to raise dragon-like creatures, this Bengal cat, which possesses the lineage of a lightning leopard, is nearly the best choice available at present

Upon hearing Hermione's response, Ivan was not surprised; Hermione's family was indeed Muggle. However, Gringotts in Diagon Alley provided currency exchange services between Muggle money and wizarding money

Even though Hermione was not a materialist, the sight of a large amount of Galleons still left her in awe of their golden brilliance. She couldn't help but glance at Ivan, secretly speculating about his identity

"Are you also a student at Hogwarts?" Hermione asked curiously, "Are you a senior?"

Aiven observed the Bengal cat with the bloodline of the lightning leopard through the cage. Through magical sensing, he discovered that this cat contained a faint power of electricity within its body

Hermione did not deny

Of course! Hello, lovely lady, my name is Evan Bock. Evan introduced himself proactively

Aiven looked at Hermione again, this currently unremarkable little girl, who would become a top student and goddess in the future, having once deeply entered Aiven's heart

Bob Granger also noticed the two house-elves, but being a Muggle himself, how could he know about house-elves?

The fact that the heir of the Gold Lion Griffin family has a fondness for magical creatures is certainly not a secret among pure-blood families. How could Ms. Karen, who runs a magical zoo, possibly be unaware of this

Ms. Karen also responded without any objection, "Yes. Moreover, Mr. Evan, I will find a way to obtain the Welsh Green Dragon egg you reserved."

"Please wait a moment." Ms. Karen turned and walked towards the backyard. After a moment, she came out holding a cage, inside which a small creature resembling a snow leopard was curled up, seemingly asleep

Ms. Karen said with a smile, "The pricing at our magical zoo has always been a fair trade"

As the saying goes, when there is no reason to be overly attentive, it is either deceit or theft

What about the price? Evan inquired

Hermione's mother, Mary Granger, noticed Paul and Aubrey not far behind Evan. She nudged her husband, Bob Granger, with her elbow and slightly gestured with her lips, indicating a question.

"Haha, I will tell Uncle Bojin about it," Aiven said with a laugh, clearly aware that Ms. Karen was joking.

Clearly, this is Ms. Karen's counterattack

Before Ms. Karen could respond, Ivan answered first, "According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, the trade of the vast majority of magical creatures is considered illegal. Therefore, even if there are magical creatures for sale here, Ms. Karen would deny it."

Diagon Alley, the Wizarding Zoo

I am quite familiar with the world of wizards. If you have any questions or need assistance, I might be able to offer some help. Evan expressed goodwill and then made a request. I am very interested in the world of Muggles, and I am also a student at Hogwarts, Hermione. I hope you can tell me about the Muggle world in the future

According to the current exchange rate of Gringotts, the exchange ratio between Galleons and British Pounds is approximately 1 Galleon for 5 British Pounds. However, this exchange is not unlimited; it is only applicable for the first exchange and is capped at a maximum of 100 Galleons

Hermione also slightly frowned, which added a different kind of charm

A glimmer of amusement flashed in Ms. Karen's eyes, "It only requires 600 gold galons"
