Chapter 64 Ah Fu
On the crowded platform 9 1/4, Mike and Franklin carried their luggage and struggled through the crowd. The happy summer vacation finally ended, and the little wizards ushered in the annual school opening day. For Hogwarts, a magical school of magic, it is obvious that the little wizards have a low aversion to school. Unlike the students in the previous life when the school started, they all had a miserable expression.
The two finally squeezed onto the train and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The platform was full of little wizards and their parents. Many parents did not want to leave even after sending their children on the train, but stood there stupidly and waved.
Mike was an orphan in both his lives and had never experienced the love of his parents, so he could not understand this feeling. Suddenly witnessing such a scene, his heart was also sour.
Fortunately, Mike was thick-skinned and black-hearted, and he did not show it.
"Hahahahaha!"
A burst of laughter came, and an owl standing on Franklin's head was staring at Mike, and kept making sounds very similar to laughter, as if laughing at Mike's weakness.
Mike glared at it fiercely, hit it on the head without any hesitation, and finally made it stop.
This owl is Franklin's pet. He bought it with the money he earned in Diagon Alley these days.
The two people's small business is very prosperous. In just one week, they made nearly 2,000 gold galleons, of which Mike took 1,400 and left 600 for Franklin. As a result, Franklin spent 400 gold galleons to buy such an owl.
It was the first time that Mike found that someone was more wasteful than him. Four hundred gold galleons were enough for the Weasley family to eat and drink for several months, but Franklin used it to buy an owl that was useless except for sending letters.
According to the clerk, this owl is a rare species that has become extinct in the Muggle world, called the laughing owl. This kind of owl is relatively large, generally growing to 40 cm, and after being cultivated by wizards for a long time, its intelligence is also quite outstanding, almost comparable to that of a 3-year-old child.
This alone is not worth the price of 400 Galleons. The most valuable thing about this owl is its laughter-like cry.
Franklin decided to buy this laughing owl after hearing its cry for the first time, just because he thought the laughing owl's laughter was very similar to his mother. Franklin
felt that the heavenly cry was just noise to Mike, and the laughter with a sense of mockery made Mike very irritated. After listening to Franklin's reason for buying it, Mike was very curious about Franklin's mother. What kind of woman could make such a mocking smile? Such a funny person must be met if there is a chance.
Mike is not interested in pets. Even if he must keep one, he would not keep an owl.
This is all because of that damn raven. Since being teased by the raven many times during the summer vacation, Mike has been very hostile to all birds. If the laughing owl named Alfu by Franklin was not Franklin's pet, Mike would have roasted it and eaten it. That kind of laughter really deserves a beating.
The two found an empty private room and walked in. Before they put their luggage away, Franklin hurriedly took out a bottle of mineral water, poured a little water into the bottle cap, and respectfully held it in front of the laughing owl above his head, calling Alfu all the time. Mike felt that Franklin might not be so filial to his mother.
Other people put owls in cages, but he was afraid that his Alfu would get depression after being locked up for a long time, so he let the owl move freely and was not afraid of it running away.
As a result, the laughing owl made a home on Franklin's head and never went anywhere all day, just nestling there. Franklin's hair was made into a bird's nest by it, which was very funny.
It is said that black people have always had bad hair quality. Most black people will go bald when they reach middle age. If they don't want to go out with a big bald head, they can only wear a wig. In my previous life, I heard a customer named Chen from Hong Kong say that black people in Africa support countless wig factories in China. I don't know if it is true. If it is true, Franklin may have to use a wig before he is 30 years old.
Well, it is decided. This year's Christmas gift will be a wig for Franklin, just in case. It must be made in China. I heard that the quality is the best in the world.
"Bang!"
Just as Mike was thinking about it, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open. Little Hermione was sweating profusely. She didn't even look at Franklin who was wearing an owl on his head and grabbed Mike's hand.
"Have you seen Harry?"
"Don't worry, didn't they get on the train?" Mike struggled to pry open Hermione's hand. This little girl has recently developed into a violent girl, and her strength has become stronger and stronger. When Mike held Mike's hand just now, he actually felt that his hand was pinched and hurt. "It doesn't matter if you miss the train. Dumbledore will definitely find him later."
"But..." Hermione obviously disagreed with Mike's words. She was about to refute but was interrupted by someone behind her.
"Who missed the train?"
Penelope walked into the carriage. Today, Penelope has returned to the state of the senior school girl in the past. Her long golden hair was simply pinned behind her ears, and her perfect figure was covered by a plain robe. However, unlike in the past, this plain robe has many patterns sewn with gold thread, which looks quite grand. Mike spent 20 gold galleons to buy this dress.
"It's Harry. He seems to have missed the train." Mike spread his hands. "Hermione is very anxious. I persuaded her that Dumbledore would find Harry back."
"Indeed, just as Mike said, Dumbledore will not let his savior disappear for no reason. Your worry is completely unnecessary." Penelope leaned on the back of Mike's chair and said.
Hermione looked at Mike and Penelope and couldn't help but get angry. A blush floated on her cheeks silently. She cursed inwardly and slammed the door and left. (The word "biao" will be blocked, so I can only use "stinky woman").
At this time, Penelope also noticed the peculiar shape of Franklin with an owl on his head, and couldn't help laughing. Hermione, who hadn't walked far outside the house, heard the laughter in the box. She stamped her feet in frustration and quickened her pace to walk away.
Mike in the box couldn't help laughing at Penelope's overjoyed look and asked, "Shouldn't you be in the prefect's compartment? Why are you here?"
