In the wizarding world, mice, as the cheapest of the Hogwarts designated pets, naturally have a wide audience, including many little witches.

However, most of them would choose hamsters that are of the same price but have beautiful fur, good personalities, and cute looks, or black mice that can live longer, and white mice that look cleaner.

This was the first time Kyle had seen a little witch who liked this kind of ordinary field mouse. And judging from her dress, she didn't look like a wizard who was short of money.

Having been in the wizarding world for eleven years, Kyle has gained some experience.

Although this girl's clothes are not that gorgeous, the fabric is extremely exquisite and the workmanship is also very delicate. Coupled with the iconic pattern on the cuffs, it should be from the Transcendental Wizard Clothing Store.

That place is much more expensive than Madam Malkin's, with a starting price of twenty Galleons.

How could anyone who could spend money there not afford a better pet?

It seems that the other party really likes this mouse.

No wonder she came to find me.

The rat tonic in Diagon Alley? To put it bluntly, that stuff is just sugar water, similar in nature to energy drinks. It's OK to use it to refresh yourself, but don't expect it to be of any great use.

Although the other party's aesthetic taste was indeed somewhat unique, Kyle did not make a fuss about it, and his facial expression did not change at all.

Don't forget that there are even ruthless people in the magical world who like the Acromantula.

He had seen that thing once in Newt's box. How should I put it? Its appearance basically challenged the three views of normal humans. It was the kind that would become a childhood trauma as long as one glance at it.

Anyway, Kyle was so disgusted that he didn't enter Newt's box for a whole year.

In comparison, it is quite normal for a little witch to like field mice.

…

Soon, Kyle took out a thumb-sized bottle from his suitcase and handed it over. "This is for you. If you think it works, come back. But then I'll charge you. It may be a little expensive, only one Sickle, but it's definitely worth it."

"Thank you, thank you."

The little girl named Kanna hurriedly reached out to take the bottle, but she didn't leave. Instead, she continued to stand there, looking at the bottle in her hand, then at Kyle, her little face full of confusion.

"Why, don't you think it's enough?"

Kyle thought she thought it was too little, so he explained, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's mainly to try the effect first, and the amount of rat tonic is not that much, two or three drops at a time will be enough. Although this bottle is not much, it is enough for you to use for a month."

"No, no, I didn't mean that."

After hearing what Kyle said, Connor shook her head repeatedly. Then, under the gaze of Kyle and Cedric, she whispered, "I don't think it's too little. I just want the red one."

Red? Cedric noticed that the rat tonic in Connor's hand was a rather turbid orange-yellow color, a bit like mashed orange pudding.

The red color that Kyle gave Percy before was crystal clear without any impurities.

They are obviously the same thing, but they look so different. And anyone can see that the crystal clear red is much better than the turbid orange-yellow.

Even if it's free, you can't fool people like this.

Suddenly, Cedric's eyes changed when he looked at Kyle.

As expected, a profiteer like Kyle would definitely be assigned to Azkaban.

At this moment, Kanna seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly took out an exquisite little handbag.

"That...I can buy it."

Kanna shook her handbag gently, and a bunch of gold Galleons fell onto the table with a clinking sound.

Thirty-three gold Galleons in total, and a few Sickles.

Cedric's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw this scene.

He only had ten gold Galleons per semester, and thirty-three gold Galleons, even if the decimals were removed, would be three times as much as he had.

But Kanna's action in the next second made him break down.

"Is this all that's left?" Kanna looked a little disappointed, biting her lip and whispering, "It doesn't matter. If it's not enough, I can get it from Gringotts. As long as it can keep Pochi alive longer, any amount of Galleons will do."

And, there is more? ? Cedric couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice. At this moment, he was really frightened by these inhumane words.

Listen, any amount of Galleons will do...

It would be fine if it was an adult wizard, but isn’t it a bit too much for a first-year student to say this?

Or is this just a daily routine for Slytherins? I've learned a lot.

On the other hand, Kyle was in no mood to care about Cedric's thoughts. He looked at Kanna hesitantly and felt a headache.

Family members know their own business. Things like rat tonic should be orange-yellow in color.

As for Percy's bottle, it was spiked with something, and an ordinary mouse would probably freeze up immediately after drinking it.

But the problem is that he can't say it, and looking at Connor's expression, she seems to have believed that he has the tonic that can prolong the mouse's life. It seems that she has listened to Percy's words word for word.

In this situation, Kyle couldn't explain it unless he told the truth.

"Um...Kanna, it's like this."

Kyle thought for a moment and said, "That special rat tonic is too strong to be drunk directly. Before that, we must use ordinary tonic to strengthen the rat's physique."

If you have to delay, then delay it as much as possible.

This was the only solution Kyle could think of.

What if he said he didn't have it, or he couldn't make it himself, and the other party turned around and went to Newt? That would be really funny.

Newt is hard to find, but Dumbledore is in Hogwarts. In the wizarding world, even a three-year-old child knows how good their relationship is.

Since Connor was wearing extraordinary clothes, she couldn't be a Muggle. If she found Dumbledore's head, she might really see Newt.

"I should have closed the door when Percy came." Kyle rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Fortunately, this problem is not difficult to solve. All we have to do is go to Dorset when Hogwarts is on vacation.

He remembered that Newt had once brewed a tonic of the Murtra Rat. This magical animal had a body structure very similar to that of a field mouse. The rats in pet stores basically all had some Murtra Rat blood.

Just like a cat and a kneazle.

So when the time comes, you can just dilute it a little and use it directly. At least it will be no problem to let an ordinary mouse live three to five more years.

"I will feed Pochi the tonic on time."

Kanna didn't doubt him and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, it will be fine." Kyle smiled and handed over a chocolate frog: "Eat some chocolate, it will make you feel more relaxed."

"No, thanks. I can buy it myself."

Kanna glanced at the Chocolate Frog, then immediately looked away, pinching the hem of her robe with both hands. She looked like a child receiving red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, wanting something but feeling embarrassed.

"It's okay, take it." Kyle said with a smile: "Just think of it as a meeting gift. I hope we can become classmates."

"……Thanks."

After hearing what Kyle said, Kanna took the chocolate frog with a blushing face, but she didn't eat it. Instead, she put it away carefully.
