HP opens restaurant in Wizarding World

Chapter 95 95 Inference

Pushing the door open, the clerk inside saw Nina, and greeted her in a panic, "Miss, you are here to bring your pet mouse, I'm really sorry, your pet mouse was arrested due to my work mistakes. I stole it, I'm really sorry."

Nina seemed a little stunned, "Stole it? How could it be stolen? Scabbers is not some expensive mouse."

Although the clerk thought so in his heart, he still said, "I'm really sorry, our store will compensate you for your loss. In fact, I didn't mean to justify myself. I really just turned around and went to the back to get the potion. When you come back, your mouse is not even in the cage."

The clerk sniffled, "I actually suspect that the thief didn't steal the mouse but the cage."

Nina almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She calmed down and looked at Fred, "What should I do? I still want to return Scabbers to Ron. Now that it's lost, how can I explain it?"

Fred also thought this was quite strange. He held Nina in his arms and said, "It's okay. Scabbers is alive and that's it. Just think it's time. Leave Ron to me. You don't have to worry."

The clerk was relieved when he heard Fred's words. Fortunately, there was no trouble. It was indeed his fault. It would be great if he could compensate for it. He took out the prepared bag and handed it to Nina .

"It's 15 galleons. I know your cage is very expensive, but I really can't afford it. This is the maximum amount that the store can grant me. Please forgive me." bowed.

Nina was still very embarrassed, and of course she would not continue to cause trouble for him. If she didn't have to act more realistically, she wouldn't even be prepared to ask for the bag of galleons.

She reached out and took the bag, "Forget it, you didn't mean it, and I'm half responsible." Seeing that Fred seemed a little dissatisfied, she pulled him out the door.

Fred asked her, "It's only fifteen Galleons, and even a fraction of your cage can't hold it. It's too perfunctory."

Nina said, "It's not easy for him either. I guess he paid for it himself. How can the boss be so kind? He has to be merciful and merciful. Besides, I'm more worried about Ron."

Fred said, "There is nothing to worry about. Ever since I gave him the owl, he has a very good relationship with his own owl. I guess he has forgotten about Scabbers. Why would he be angry with you?"

Nina felt a little relieved. In fact, she was always worried that Ron would be angry. After all, in the original book, he and Hermione chased Scabbers because of Crookshanks, but they quarreled many times and almost broke up. So Nina was under a lot of pressure, after all, Ron was actually a bit stubborn.

The two went back to the door of Zuko's joke store together, and saw George, Lee Jordan, and Annie waiting there. Annie saw Nina came back empty-handed, and was a little puzzled, "Didn't you go to the pet store? Scabbers?" ?”

Nina told her that Scabbers had been stolen, and everyone was surprised. George asked in surprise, "Ron's mouse? What's there to steal, because it lives longer, is it weird?" "

Nina shook her head, "I don't know. The clerk said that as soon as he took the potion, Banban's cage disappeared. It's really weird."

Annie asked with some doubts, "It means that Banban disappeared even the mouse and the cage in a short period of time. Is there anything else missing from the pet store?"

After hearing Anne's question, everyone realized that something was wrong. Fred frowned and said, "The clerk didn't say anything, probably not, because he didn't say anything missing in the store to win our sympathy. "

George touched his chin and said, "That means that the person who stole Banban went for it, but it doesn't make sense. Apart from being older, there is nothing special about Banban."

Lee Jordan said, "This is the weirdest part of the matter. What's the point of a mouse that is not very special that others should keep looking at and trying to steal it?"

Nina was a little flustered. She didn't expect them to be very close to the truth when they reasoned casually. In fact, despite Anne's laughing and joking all day long, being able to enter Ravenclaw shows that she has extraordinary wisdom.

She raised the doubt just now. Nina felt that she could no longer pretend to be dead. If she continued, she would probably have to reveal her secrets. She had to say something.

At this time, she heard Annie's question, and her heart skipped a beat.

"George, what do you mean by saying that Banban lived a long time? How long did he live?" This question hits the nail on the head, and this is the most crucial point.

George replied, "I haven't calculated it carefully. Now that I think about it, it seems that it has been in my house for almost 12 years." Speaking of which, he also felt that something was wrong.

Anne almost screamed, "This is impossible. The lifespan of an ordinary mouse is only three years. There may be more pet rats in the wizarding world, but the limit is only eight years. How can there be a mouse that lives for 12 years?"

She turned to look at Nina, "Nina, you should know that this mouse can no longer be described as ordinary or normal."

Nina answered her, "I know. It was because of this mouse's powerful vitality that I borrowed it from Ron's cell phone to study."

Annie asked, "Did you find anything?" She was almost dying of curiosity, and she had a very high desire to explore all new and interesting things or secrets.

Nina watched their eyes fall on her and took a deep breath. "I do have some doubts. As you all know, I have been studying Animagus recently, so I suspect that Scabbers is actually an Animagus." Mags.”

Looking at their shocked eyes, Nina continued, "But I can't be sure. You all know that no one can pretend to be an animal for more than ten years. If it is really a person, you have to know how scary it is, so I put It's locked in a cage."

"When I deliberately left its sight intentionally or unintentionally, I secretly observed it. It really didn't have any abnormalities. It was no different from other mice, so I took it to the pet store today." Nina thought Make quick turns to make up for the loopholes in your own behavior.

"I originally wanted the people in the pet shop to observe carefully. They are the most familiar with animals. Maybe they will find something, but..." Nina lowered her head and said nothing.

Everyone knew what she was going to say. The cage disappeared, but it made people even more suspicious. Anne said, "If it is really an Animagus, will it run away by itself?"

Nina shook her head and denied, "That cage is specially made and no one can open it except me, so it is impossible for it to escape."

Li Qiaodan looked at the time and said, "Stop talking now and go back quickly, otherwise it will be late. When we go back, we will think about it slowly and we will always have the answer."

Fred and George obviously thought more about it. If there was really any conspiracy in Banban, then what was the purpose of hiding in their home for so many years.
