Eli met the Halls who were empty-handed.
Professor McGonagall suddenly received the news and had something urgent to do, so he left first.
Mr. and Mrs. Hall did not think Professor McGonagall was rude because she gave them a bag.
"Traceless telescopic spell!"
Eli looked at the small bag in his hand in surprise.
Open the bag, and there is something special inside.
The bag is only as big as a palm, but the space inside must be at least as big as several wardrobes!
"We don't know what the curse is, but it's really amazing, just like... space technology!"
Looking at his slightly excited father, Eli couldn't help but curse.
"As expected, a man will remain a boy until he dies."
Who can resist a bag that looks like a high-tech space-folding bag?
But Professor McGonagall is indeed quite generous.
According to the memories of Voldemort in his mind, items with the Invisible Telescopic Charm cast on them were usually expensive.
Not to mention the seamless telescopic charm that can expand a palm-sized bag to the size of several wardrobes.
Eli silently noted Professor McGonagall's kindness.
"What else are we missing? A messenger owl, and... a pet."
Mrs. Hall looked at the list, and the family of three walked to the owl store.
Eela Owl Shop, packed with a variety of owl cages.
You can hear the chirping inside from a distance.
There are many little wizards inside, and most of them are brought by their parents to buy owls.
This is a characteristic of the British magic world. British magicians like to use owls to convey messages.
Owls in the magical world are naturally different from ordinary species.
They have magical blood and are born with name magic, and can find the location of sending messages based on their names.
Therefore, the owl is a standard accessory for every British wizard, just like a mobile phone.
I didn't have much choice, so I picked a little guy who looked more energetic, a black owl.
He named it Chevrolet.
"Eli, do you need a pet?"
Mrs. Hall asked.
Speaking of pets, Eli thought of Ron's rat Scabbers and Hermione's big cat Crookshanks.
It would be fun to have a pet.
Several people came to Magic Zoo again, a store specializing in selling various pets.
When I walked into the store, I was hit by the smell of various types of feces mixed together.
"Oh! They should really clean it up!"
Mrs. Hall covered her mouth and nose.
Eli looked at the various pets beside him with interest.
At the door, a pug with short limbs was in a cage and stared blankly at the people who came in.
Eli looked at it with disgust. The stupid look on the dog reminded him of a stupid dog that belonged to a certain keykeeper.
Continuing to walk inside, all kinds of strange pets attract the attention of visitors.
The girls gathered around the Rong Pu Pu counter.
This fluffy and docile little guy is the most loved by girls.
Soon, they wandered into the reptile area.
There are so many lizards and snakes here that some people may not even come here.
"I'm hungry... I'm hungry... I'm hungry..."
A repetitive voice reached Eli's ears.
He looked around in surprise.
It wasn't any language he was familiar with, it sounded more like the hissing of a snake, but he understood exactly what it meant.
He didn't say anything, just looking for the source of the sound quietly.
After all, even in the wizarding world, it's not a good thing to hear voices that others can't hear.
He stopped in front of a small black snake.
The sound is exactly what it makes.
"Are you talking?"
Eli tried to communicate with it, but when he opened his mouth, he hissed like a snake.
This quickly silenced him.
This is not something to show off.
People who can communicate with snakes are called Parseltongues by wizards.
The earliest Parseltongue, people called him Despicable Herbo. He was an extremely famous and dangerous dark wizard in ancient times.
Later, a famous Parseltongue appeared. He was one of the four founders of Hogwarts and the first dean of Slytherin House-Salazar Slytherin.
Similarly, he was another powerful dark wizard. Together with the other three founders of Hogwarts, he became the four most powerful wizards of that era.
The nearest Parseltongue is familiar to everyone, but his name is generally not mentioned.
Because he called, Voldemort!
As the last descendant of Slytherin, Voldemort inherited his talent for Parseltongue.
Eli also became a Parseltongue for a simple reason - he fused with Voldemort's soul fragments and gained his memories while also gaining a Parseltongue.
Harry also has a fragment of Voldemort's soul inside him, so he is also a Parselmouth.
Eli was not prepared to reveal the news because it would bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The little black snake understood Eli's words, nodded to him, and then continued to repeat, "Hungry... hungry... hungry..."
Eli suddenly wanted to take him home.
Although the Halls had a hard time accepting Eli's decision to keep a snake as a pet, they always respected Eli's choice.
They also wanted Eli to have a satisfying little playmate while he was living alone at Hogwarts.
The clerk took out the cage containing the small black snake for him.
and introduced him enthusiastically.
"It has been here for a while and is always more lively than other little snakes."
Eli asked: "Have you fed him?"
The clerk said confidently: "Oh! Of course, we treat every one kindly. Pet."
Eli looked at the little black snake.
"I'm hungry...I'm hungry...I'm hungry..."
Eli: "..."
He didn't bother to argue with the clerk about whether to eat or not, and asked again, "What's his name?"
The clerk thought for a while and said : "Les, we call it Les."
When Eli heard it, "Goudan? Oh, okay, let's call it Goudan!"
The clerk was stunned for a moment and wanted to explain, "No, it's actually called Lei... ..."
"Goudan! I know, come on, Goudan, go home with your brother!"
The clerk said helplessly, "Ten gold galleons, thank you for your patronage!"
The store gave away some small dry food, such as dried rats and the like. of.
On the way back, Eli kept whispering his name to his little pet.
"Little guy, your name is Goudan, did you hear me? Come on, tell me what your name is." "
I'm hungry... I'm hungry... I'm hungry..."
Eli: "..."
Feed him a piece of dried rat. Then I heard it again.
"Goudan, Goudan, Goudan..."
