Chapter 32 32. I have something to confess

I hurriedly came out of Ollivander's Wand Store and came to the store directly opposite, which was a pet store.

Dudley suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, Harry, I almost forgot. I didn't have time to give you a gift for your birthday two days ago."

"Harry's birthday?" Hermione asked, "When is it?"

"Just the day before yesterday." Dudley said.

Hermione nodded and suddenly suggested: "How about Dudley and I give you a pet together?"

Although she only met Harry a few times, and if it weren't for Dudley, she wouldn't have known Harry, but Harry was Dudley's old cousin.

pet?!

This word immediately interested Harry. Apart from spiders, he had never had any other pets.

"I've passed it, I don't think it's necessary."

It's okay to say that Dudley is his brother. After all, Hermione hasn't known him for a long time.

It's not okay to accept gifts from others like this.

"It happens every year, and it won't happen this time either. Besides, Hermione's birthday is next month, so why not prepare a better gift carefully? You are the richest among us."

At the end of the sentence, he patted Harry on the shoulder: "Come on, let's go in and see what's inside."

She put her arms around his neck and walked towards the pet store.

When Hermione heard her birthday, a slight blush flashed across her face, she arranged her hair a little, and followed the two of them towards the pet shop.

In front of the pet store, a few SAO mice dancing samba attracted the attention of many little wizards, but their parents obviously would not buy them.

"The notice said that you can choose an owl or a cat as a pet."

Dudley subconsciously ignored toads. Except for a few people, almost no one liked that kind of thing. At least he didn't like it, and neither did Harry. As a girl, Hermione wouldn't like it either.

There are all kinds of things in the pet shop, but there are not many types. Most of them are mice, toads, owls and cats.

However, Dudley also saw several small lizards and parrots, one of which even breathed a breath of fire.

Of course, these can only be regarded as ordinary animals. They may be smarter than ordinary animals. Even if they have the blood of some magical animals, they can still be regarded as ordinary animals.

At least Dudley couldn't communicate with them in Magical Beasts.

He would like to get a magical animal to raise, but unfortunately this pet shop doesn't have one.

This street was full of pet shops, and after visiting several of them, Harry finally found his favorite pet, a snowy owl with black spots.

"Why not choose a cat?"

asked Hermione, who preferred cats to owls: "Don't you like cats?"

"Dudley prefers cats." Harry shook his head and explained, "Aunt Petunia is allergic to cat hair, so Dudley doesn't even have one."

Harry actually doesn't like cats. When he was at Mrs. Figg's house, Dudley preferred to hang out with Cher and the others. He was actually quite disgusted with the smell of cats.

"That's a shame."

Hermione looked regretful. She wanted to get a cat, but she couldn't find one she liked in these pet stores.

Raising a cat is actually the same as finding a partner, all you need is a good eye.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Dudley felt a little moved. He turned to Hermione and said, "If I raise a cat in the future, can I leave it at your house during the holidays?"

Penny didn't like furry things very much, so she had to put them in a house she bought when she brought them back.

"Can you?" Hermione said softly.

It has to be said that the purchasing power of gold galleons is still very strong in the wizarding world. After shopping around, I bought many things and even an owl, but there was still a lot left.

The main reason was that Dudley didn't buy those potion ingredients, otherwise they wouldn't be enough.

For example, the dragon liver sold next to it made Dudley a little tempted. Unfortunately, the Galleons in his pocket were really limited. 100 gold Galleons per year was definitely enough for schooling, but it was undoubtedly unrealistic if he wanted to be extravagant.

In particular, potions are still a big money burner, especially the brewing of some rare potions is a big money burner, and the cost of materials is a huge expense.

Seventeen ounces of dragon liver is equivalent to about 28 grams.

Seventeen siks is equal to one Galleung.

This is why there are so few potions masters.

Poverty is a very intuitive reason.

Mainly, besides boiling the potion, Dudley also wanted to taste these things.

Dragon liver, phoenix marrow and so on

Dudley was thinking of ways to earn some Galleons before he considered implementing this gourmet plan.

No matter which world we live in, as long as there are transactions, money is a very necessary thing.

When the three of them arrived at the agreed place, they found that only McGonagall, Petunia and Mrs. Granger were sitting in the small shop. Vernon and Mr. Granger had arranged to go to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.

The Dursleys only took the textbooks prescribed by Hogwarts. They knew that their son was very independent, so they didn't use the galleons and gave them to Dudley. The Grangers bought many other books.

, they know how much their daughters love to read.

"There's still a month until school starts. Hermione, can I often go to your place to read books during this month?"

Although I had read some magic books from Mrs. Figg before, she was a squib after all, and the books she bought were not very comprehensive. No one would think that her knowledge was too rich.

Especially when I am going to study in an unknown magical place in a month, knowledge, especially common sense knowledge, becomes even more important.

Dudley's eyes shone as he looked at the mountain of books, which was almost as tall as a pile of people.

How many Galleons did this cost?

Dudley admitted that he was greedy.

"Um"

Naturally, Hermione would not refuse Dudley's simple request. She nodded lightly, and then her face turned slightly red as if she thought of something.

It seemed that no boy except Dudley had ever been to our house.

Dudley swore that he really just wanted to study.

If he had to buy so many books by himself, he would definitely buy them, but why should he spend money now when he can get them for free?

Even if he now has a small fortune in the world of ordinary people, but is completely destitute in the world of magic, it is important to make good use of existing resources.

Even if he still has more than a hundred gold galleons left in his hand, the 100 gold galleons exchanged with Harry's qualifications will naturally go into Dudley's pocket. It is legal and legal, and there is no reason to waste it.

Petunia drove the car home. Both Vernon and Mr. Granger drank a lot. In their words, the Wizarding World wine had a unique flavor.

The next day, after Dudley finished his morning exercise, the family sat at the dining table and enjoyed delicious food.

"It is expected that Harry and I will leave here for Hogwarts on September 1st."

After swallowing a small sausage, Dudley cleared his throat and continued: "Before that, there is something I need to confess to you. I originally planned to tell you when I am an adult."

Having said this, his expression became a little serious.

Seeing Dudley's seriousness, Vernon and Petunia also sat up straight, and Harry probably guessed what Dudley was going to say.

"Actually, I opened a company outside."
