Chapter 008: The Love and Hatred of Reunion

Maggie Granger smiled and said, "If that is the case, our little Hermione has become friends with him, so we need not worry about her being bullied!"

The pure-blood family Weasley is so poor that they cannot afford the books required for enrollment at Hogwarts. How ironic is this situation

Oh

Maggie Granger's expression showed a slight embarrassment; although they had maximized their exchange of Galleons at Gringotts, they still could not afford such an expensive price

Arthur Weasley frowned, as he was well aware of Ivan's identity. There was a time when Mr. Arthur Weasley attempted to establish a relationship with Count Barlow

Fortunately, Ms. Karen kindly explained, "I am very sorry, but our store is currently unable to provide similar pets"

Aiven did not find Lucius, nor did he know if he had gone to Upside Down Alley

Hermione shook her head, "I don't know, Mom"

Goodbye," Hermione replied, "I am also very pleased to meet you

After Aiven's departure, Mrs. Karen explained to Hermione how to care for Crookshanks, after which Hermione's family returned to the Leaky Cauldron in Diagon Alley

Thank you for your patronage, Mr. Ivan," Ms. Karen said cheerfully, noting that although the prices were reasonable, there remained a substantial profit.

After all, when the Magical Animal Park acts as the acquirer, it possesses sufficient bargaining power, while as the seller, it directly faces the end customers

In the hotel room, Margo Granger spoke with a hint of gossip, "Hermione, who exactly is that Mr. Ivan?"

The self-deprecating Ron, unsure of how to retort to Draco, could only remain silent with a flushed face.

"Arthur, are you selecting second-hand books for your son again? Have you chosen the second-hand robes yet?" Lucius appeared out of nowhere, perfectly keeping pace with Draco, spewing venom.

The Leaky Cauldron serves as both a pub and an inn, and Hermione's family is temporarily staying there. They will leave the wizarding world only after escorting Hermione to Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station tomorrow.

Ultimately, under the powerful inertia of fate, Hermione's pet remains a reddish-brown Persian long-haired cat, named "Crookshanks"

Mr. Arthur Weasley would naturally not allow his son to be bullied; he stepped forward, glaring disdainfully at Draco and taunted, "Malfoy, didn't your father teach you how to respect others?"

Naive Wesley

Cough! Aiven coughed lightly, walked into the venue, and stood beside Draco. With a smile on his face, he looked at Mr. Arthur Weasley and calmly retorted, "Mr. Arthur Weasley, as an elder and a staff member of the Ministry of Magic, your behavior is inappropriate and truly tarnishes the reputation of the Ministry of Magic"

For the tsundere Draco, this is simply an unforgivable matter

Mom! Hermione has a hint of annoyance in her tone

The first meeting with the little girl was overly enthusiastic, which was not conducive to future development. Therefore, Aiven gracefully bid farewell, leaving a good impression on Hermione's parents

How fortunate Mr. Ron is to have won Hermione's favor However, in this real wizarding world, Ivan can only say that he absolutely does not accept such an outcome

Diagon Alley, Aiven is on his way to the Quidditch shop. However, as he passes by the second-hand goods store, he spots Draco, along with the dear Mr. Savior and the fortunate Mr. Ron

From a young age, Draco has heard countless stories about Harry. Just the Daily Prophet alone has reported an innumerable amount of news about Harry

Aiven acquired a Bengal cat with one-quarter lightning leopard lineage. Although the price is relatively high, as Aiven stated, even if it were to rise further, reaching a height of 1,000 gold galons, he would still be willing to pay.

After naming Sendel, Ivan deliberately glanced at his watch and then said apologetically, "I am very sorry, Hermione, I have an appointment with a friend to meet at the Quidditch boutique. It was a pleasure to meet you, see you at the start of the school year" Ivan took the initiative to express his intention to leave

When Hermione named Crookshanks, Erwin also joined in the fun by naming the Bengal cat with a quarter of lightning leopard bloodline "Sinder", which means "lightning".

The tsundere Draco, like a small venomous snake, spewed venom wildly, showing no regard for Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, who worked at the Ministry of Magic and stood behind Harry and Ron

The reason lies in the fact that Arthur Weasley believes that Lord Ballow does not harbor any disdain for Muggles, and that the Gryffindor family possesses numerous enterprises in the Muggle world. Therefore, as a pure-blood wizard who also has an affinity for Muggles, Arthur Weasley naively thinks that he and Lord Ballow might become good friends

"Mom, let's buy a kitten too," Hermione expressed her desire for a pet

Hermione also realized that it was inappropriate and added, "Mom, I just want an ordinary little cat, that reddish-brown long-haired cat would be just fine!"

... ...

"Foolish guy!" Draco snorted, but he could not change Harry's mind. "Look at the Weasley next to you, oh, what is he wearing? Is it his great-grandmother's nightgown? Hahaha!"

"Harry Potter, I am doing this for your own good! Weasleys are the disgrace of pure-blood nobility; associating with them will only make you a joke. You should be friends with me, the noble Draco Malfoy!" The proud Draco, like a peacock, looked at Harry with arrogance

Hermione looked curiously at the Bengal cat with the bloodline of a lightning leopard, but as she was new to the wizarding world, she was not yet aware of its true value; she simply thought it was impressive

Like Hermione, Harry has just been introduced to the wizarding world. Although Harry's fame is widely known in the wizarding world, he has indeed lived in the Muggle world all along

Bob Granger analyzed, "That young gentleman speaks eloquently and behaves appropriately, and he has purchased an expensive pet. Moreover, have you noticed that the previous Ms. Karen seems to be subtly trying to please that young Mr. Ivan? Therefore, I suspect that his status must be quite distinguished"

Thank you for the reminder! However, I will discern for myself whom I wish to befriend," Harry responded to Draco, clearly rejecting the olive branch that Draco had extended.

Opposite Draco, Ron Weasley was flushed, wanting to refute something, yet unable to articulate a counterargument, fortunate Ron was filled with feelings of inferiority within.

Poor Ron was deeply stung by the venom spat by Draco, piercing his cheap sense of self-esteem. The sweater he wore, though not a family heirloom passed down from his great-grandmother, was nonetheless one that had been discarded by his brothers.

Evan smiled as he left the Magical Zoo, heading to the Quidditch boutique to meet Draco
