Cute Pygmy Pu!
Inside the Hogsmeade Pet Shop, it was crowded, and many girls were gathered around the counter.
Through the noisy crowd and the glass, Elwyn focused on the Pygmy Pu that was squeezed into a ball inside the cabinet.
Their bodies were like meaty balls, looking very soft. The surface of their bodies was covered with soft, milky yellow fur, and they bounced around inside the glass counter.
Behind the counter, a shop assistant was introducing these pets that had suddenly become very popular among girls to Hermione, Elaine, and other interested girls: Pygmy Pu. Pygmy Pu was a scavenger, eating everything from leftovers to spiders. It had a strong vitality and was very easy to take care of.
They looked cute and had a docile personality. No matter how you hugged, pinched, or threw them around, they wouldn't care.
In addition to their cute appearance and docile personality, Pygmy Pu especially liked to stick out its long pink tongue and lick around. This was also the main reason why many girls liked these strange creatures, because this strange habit made them look even cuter and more likeable.
That's right, Pygmy Pu also liked to crawl into holes, such as into the noses of sleeping wizards, and eat their dry boogers …
Young Pygmy Pu often did this, waking up their sleeping owners, but when they became adults, they didn't do this anymore.
Adult Pygmy Pu's body was about the size of two or three fingers, and it couldn't crawl into the nostrils.
The shop assistant told them that more than ten years ago, Pygmy Pu was popular as a pet, and now it was back.
Many girls gathered around the counter to buy it excitedly. After carefully observing for a long time, Elwyn wasn't very interested in Pygmy Pu. He felt that it would be better to buy an owl.
Because of its popularity, the price of Pygmy Pu was almost the same as an owl!
But owls could deliver letters, so what could a Pygmy Pu that only knew how to jump around and stick out its tongue to act cute do?
The answer to his question could be directly quoted from the last conclusion of the shop assistant in the pet store. This kind of cute, docile, fluffy, soft, comfortable to touch, clean, close to the owner, doesn't run around or bark, is easy to raise, has a lot of strange abilities, and can be carried around and used at any time. Why wouldn't this kind of pet be popular?!
If that was the case, there was no reason for it not to be popular. From this point of view, the Dwarf Pu Lin was a good pet …
About twenty minutes later, the three of them left the shop.
Elaine carefully held a dwarf cattail in her hand. She liked it very much.
Hermione was also very interested in the dwarf tree, and the two of them were discussing what to name it.
On this topic, Elwyn couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Fortunately, this did not last for too long. The biting cold wind on the street blew on their faces like knives. Hermione and Elaine did not continue their discussion for a long time. They tightened their hoods and hurried to the Pig's Head Bar at the other end of the street.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Pig's Head Pub, Elwyn saw a short Magus being rudely chased out.
He seemed to be explaining something, but the owner of the Pig's Head Bar, Aberforth, didn't listen to him at all and slammed the door shut.
At the last moment, he raised his head and glanced at Elwyn, Hermione and Elaine who were not far away.
"Mondungues!" Elwyn shouted.
The man with messy ginger hair was startled.
An antique suitcase in his arms fell to the ground and bounced open. There were all sorts of things inside, like the contents of an antique shop's display window.
"Oh, hello, Elwyn. It's you guys. You scared me!" Mondungues Fletch let out a sigh of relief. He immediately pretended to be very relaxed, but it didn't look like it at all. "I've been waiting for you guys inside for a while."
"What happened? Were you chased out? "
"Nothing much. I had a little conflict with the owner of this bar in the past." He answered vaguely, appearing to be sneaky.
Only then did Elwyn remember that the Mondungues were an unwelcome customer of the Pig's Head Bar.
The Mondungues had been present when they founded D.A., but not in his original appearance.
Sirius later told them that the Mondungues had been banned from the Pig's Head Bar since twenty years ago.
He could only enter in disguise so that Aberforth wouldn't recognize him.
Elwyn thought that it was because the Mondungues always did illegal business in the Pig's Head Bar, and perhaps caused some trouble that Aberforth couldn't tolerate. That was why he refused to let the Mondungues enter his bar.
There was a basis for this guess, as Elwyn was about to trade the corpse of a house-elf with him.
No normal bar owner would allow customers to trade such things in his bar.
"Is the thing I want ready?" Elwyn asked. He felt that it was better to end this quickly.
"It's ready!" The Mondungues said almost obsequiously. "Getting a house-elf … It wasn't easy, especially when you asked for so many conditions. I spent a lot of effort to get this thing. I spent a lot of energy and gold coins. You know, this thing is very expensive as a spellcasting material in the Underworld."
It was the first time Elwyn knew that the corpse of a house-elf was worth a lot of money. It was all nonsense.
But that was how it was when trading with the Mondungues. Bargaining was a necessary part of the process.
Other than that, he had to carefully check the items to avoid being scammed.
"If it meets my requirements, I will give you a satisfactory price," Elwyn said. "Take it out and let me see."
"Wait, don't look here. Let's go there!" The Mondungues said. He looked around and pointed in a direction.
That was the road to the Screaming Shack. There were usually very few people, and it was not impossible for someone to visit in this weather.
After he finished speaking, he began to squat on the ground and fumble to pick up the things in the box. He quickly pulled them into the box.
"What are these?" Elaine asked curiously. "They look like a pile of junk. Are you selling them?"
"I have no choice. I have to find a way to make a living." The Mondungues said. He immediately raised his voice and shouted at Hermione, who was squatting down to pick up a silverware. "Don't touch that thing. Give it to me."
"This goblet …" Hermione looked at the silverware in her hand. "This is the coat of arms of the Blake family! My God, I finally know why they look so familiar. You stole these things from Sirius's house? "
The Mondungues stopped immediately. His body swayed as if he wanted to run, but he held back.
