By the time Elwyn entered the Invisibility Cloak, Hermione had already changed back. She was questioning Harry and Ron.
"If you were planning to do something, you should have informed me and Elwyn first," Hermione said, dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, Hermione, but we were pressed for time," Harry said. "We didn't have time to find you and Elwyn."
"Didn't have time? This isn't the first time you've acted alone. "Hermione snorted.
"We really didn't have time this time. We saw Malfoy sneaking toward Knockover Alley alone. He shook off his mother and must have been planning something, so we quickly followed …"
"Meow!" Elwyn jumped into her arms and waved at Harry and Ron.
The space under the Invisibility Cloak was too small, and he couldn't change back.
"Is this Elwyn? He looks exactly like a real cat, "Ron exclaimed.
"Don't be surprised, Ron. This isn't the first time you've seen Elwyn turn into a cat!" Hermione said.
She hugged Elwyn out of habit and rubbed his ears. Elwyn was tickled by her touch.
"Yes, but it's always surprising. If only I could turn into a cat," Ron said enviously. "I'm talking about the Animagus transformation. It's a very difficult transformation spell. I don't think there's a chance …"
"Meow!" Elwyn shouted again.
"What did he say?"
"Elwyn asked if you two heard anything? Why did Malfoy come here? "
"Hermione, you can understand cat meowing?" Ron said in surprise.
"Don't be silly. Elwyn isn't a real cat. Besides, I can also transform into an Animagus," Hermione said.
Alright, this was truly an amazing talent.
If Hermione turned into a cat, Elwyn wasn't sure if he could understand her meowing.
Perhaps according to the actual situation, most of the time, it should be a delicate panting …
It was rare for the two of them to turn into cats. Usually, it was in a place like a bed at night.
"Nothing useful. Malfoy seems to want Bojin to fix something for him, but he doesn't want to bring it over. He only wants Bojin to tell him how to fix it," Harry said.
"What are you fixing?"
"Yes, Malfoy is so arrogant, and Bojin seems to be afraid of him. This is too unusual." Harry paused. "He mentioned Fenrir Greyback and said that this werewolf was a family friend, but I..."
"Meow, meow!"
"What did he say this time?" Ron asked, looking at Elwyn.
"Of course he's asking what that thing is?" Hermione said.
Translation error. Elwyn actually wanted them to go back quickly and not hide in this corner to discuss this kind of thing.
"I'm not sure. We came late and didn't hear that part." Harry thought hard and said, "What we can confirm now is that Malfoy has something to fix, and he wants the shop to keep something for him..."
"Alright, you two stay here and don't move," Hermione whispered.
"Meow!" Hermione picked Elwyn up. What does she want?
"What do you want..."
Before Harry could finish, she slipped out from under the Invisibility Cloak.
Hermione put Elwyn on her shoulder and let him hang there. She looked at her hair against the glass and strode into the shop.
Elwyn sighed. Hermione!
The bell jingled again, and Mr. Boggin walked out from behind the counter.
His expression was cold, and he looked at Hermione and Elwyn suspiciously.
"Hello, the weather is terrible, isn't it?" Hermione said cheerfully to Boggin. He didn't reply.
Hermione didn't mind. She hummed happily as she strolled through the messy display of goods in the shop.
"Is this necklace for sale?" She stopped in front of a glass cabinet and asked.
"If you pay one thousand five hundred Garen, I'll sell it," Boggin said coldly.
"Oh, um, no, I don't have that much money." Hermione said as she continued walking forward. She pointed at another item on the counter. "Then, what about this cute, um, skeleton?"
"Sixteen Garen."
"So it's for sale? Isn't it for someone else? "
Boggin narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Elwyn thought this question was stupid. Who would ask in a Dark Magic shop like this?
He was sure that Hermione didn't know what this Skull was for. This thing wasn't just for decoration.
It seemed like Hermione also realized that she had been seen through, and she suddenly threw caution to the wind.
"The thing is, um, the boy who just came in, Draco Malfoy, he's a friend of mine. I want to give him a birthday present, but if he already ordered something, I don't want to buy him another one. You know, to avoid a repeat, so, um …"
This story was too lame, and Boggin obviously thought so too.
"Get out," he roared. "Get out!"
Hermione didn't wait for him to say it a second time. She rushed out with Elwyn, and Boggin chased them all the way to the door.
The bell jingled again. Boggin slammed the door behind her, and hung up the "Closed" sign.
"Not bad." Ron said, and covered Hermione and Elwyn with the Invisibility Cloak again. "Very bold idea, worth a try, but you're too obvious!"
"Okay, show me next time, Mysterious Master!" she retorted bluntly.
"Meow!" Elwyn meowed again, signaling them to go back.
If he wasn't sure that Boggin was looking out the window, he would have changed back.
Hermione's actions were too rash, and Boggin wasn't an idiot, or a normal wizard with low vigilance.
He wouldn't tell Hermione anything easily, especially when Elwyn was sure that Malfoy was now a Death Eater.
This way, Boggin wouldn't say anything.
If Hermione went in and asked, it would easily alert Malfoy, and he would know that his whereabouts had been exposed.
Fortunately, Boggin wasn't on the same side as Lord Voldemort and Malfoy, so he wouldn't tell anyone about it.
Elwyn could guess what Malfoy wanted to do, and they didn't need to waste time investigating.
"Let's go, hurry back," Hermione finally urged.
They stood up, and Harry suddenly stopped.
"Wait, did you guys notice that Malfoy didn't leave in the direction of Diagon Alley," he said hesitantly. "It's this way, deep in Knockover Alley …"
Elwyn looked to the left, and the winding alley stretched forward until it was blocked by a house at the end.
Indeed, this direction was deep in Diagon Alley, and they wouldn't go around it.
Why would Malfoy go there? It was too suspicious.
They hadn't been there before, but Elwyn had gone there once in the future.
In those small, run-down houses that didn't see the light of day, there were vampires who had lost their magic …
