"Hiss." (Hello.)

Ouroboros greeted the stunned Harry Potter very friendly.

Harry subconsciously wanted to reply, but found that his tongue was already stiff.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall next to him slapped Fish in the face.

"Get the basilisk away quickly, Harry is immobilized!"

"Oh, yes, meow."

Only then did Fish remember that Ouroboros's ability had not been completely eliminated, and he quickly removed the basilisk in his hand.

After the basilisk was removed from his sight, Harry's body gradually returned to freedom.

"How is this going?"

Harry glanced at the basilisk in Fish's hand with lingering fear, and then quickly looked away.

Professor McGonagall reluctantly tugged on Fish's ears, and then briefly explained Ouroboros's situation to Harry, and taught him a little trick to use his own magic power to resist the eyes of the basilisk.

Although Harry would probably still feel stiff at his current level, it would be enough for him to avert his gaze.

"Harry, you can also speak Parseltongue, so I introduced Ouroboros to you."

Fish held the basilisk's head in his hand, raised it in front of Harry again and said.

"Uh...thank you..."

Harry twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at the very well-behaved but ferocious-looking basilisk in Fish's hands, and the fear in his heart immediately diminished a lot.

"Hiss, hiss." (Hello Ouroboros, I'm Harry Potter.)

"Hiss...hiss..." (I know you, I heard that my second master was defeated by you.)

Ouroboros's dull response came from Fish's hand, leaving Harry Potter wondering how to proceed.

However, Ouroboros had no loyalty to Voldemort. Just when Harry was still struggling with how to reply, it had already taken the initiative to change the topic.

"Hiss, hiss..." (You know Parseltongue, are you also a descendant of the old master?)

Harry also didn't know how to answer this, so Fish helped him.

"Albus said that Voldemort's power was left in the scar on Harry's head, which is why he speaks Parseltongue."

"Hiss..." (oh...)

Ouroboros then completely lost interest in Harry Potter.

Ouroboros: "..."

Harry: "..."

Professor McGonagall:???

Feixu:⊙w⊙

The scene suddenly became quiet. Feishu blinked his eyes, confused as to what was going on.

In the end, it was Professor McGonagall who broke the awkward atmosphere.

"By the way, Potter, have you bought your textbooks and study supplies for next semester? Do you want to go with Fish?"

"Ah, okay."

Of course Harry wouldn't refuse.

So the three of them walked together towards Diagon Alley.

"Minerva, can we go to Gringotts and ride that minecart again?"

?(●?w?●)?

Fish put the basilisk back into his pocket and asked Professor McGonagall excitedly.

"No, this year's textbooks are not expensive. I have enough gold Galleons with me, so I don't need to go to Gringotts."

Professor McGonagall's tone was pleasant, she didn't want to run away to find fault.

As a result, at this time, Harry spoke from the side.

"Well... I might need to go to Gringotts..." He didn't dare to look up to see Professor McGonagall's expression, and said in a voice like a gnat: "I don't have much money left."

Professor McGonagall: "..."

Harry naturally saw Professor McGonagall's resistance to Gringotts. Harry, who had also ridden in that thing, understood it very well, but he really had no money...

Although the Dursleys did not dare to do anything excessive to him after being taught a lesson by Fisher, Harry still did not want them to know that his parents had left him a large amount of gold.

In addition, they rejected anything related to wizards, so Harry didn't dare to spend too much money on him. In addition to textbooks, he also had to buy two new sets of robes, and his school uniform was already a little too short.

Of course, Professor McGonagall couldn't stop Harry from withdrawing the money, so she sighed helplessly and said, "Let's go then."

"That's great, meow! I can ride the minecart again!"

?(●≧?≦●)?

Fish cheered happily, holding Professor McGonagall in one hand and Harry in the other, and ran quickly in the direction of Gringotts.

However, the little cat has developed a bit of wink in the past few years. As he rushed to Gringotts, he turned back to Professor McGonagall and said: "Minerva, just wait until Fish and Harry go to get the money together, meow.

If you don’t like riding in the minecart, just wait outside for Meow.”

"Um."

Professor McGonagall, who was still a little resistant, suddenly became happy and hurried two steps to Fish's side, no longer being dragged away by him.

They simply took some Galleons from Gringotts. Except for Harry's face, which turned a little pale, both McGonagall and her son had satisfied expressions on their faces.

"Let's go buy books first."

After Harry recovered a little, Professor McGonagall suggested that Harry and Fish would naturally have no objections.

The three of them walked outside Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore and saw a huge cage behind the glass of the display window. There were hundreds of green-covered books inside, and they were biting each other crazily.

"Meow hahaha! This book is so interesting!"

?(●?w?●)?

Fei Xu lay on the glass of the display window with gleaming eyes, looking at the books clumped together.

"Minerva, can Fish buy a copy of this?"

Professor McGonagall glanced at the gilded titles on the covers of the books, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Even if you don't tell us, we still have to buy it. This is one of your textbooks for next year."

"Great!"

?(●≧?≦●)?

The little cat immediately rushed into the bookstore impatiently.

"Fix? Welcome to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. You are here to buy this year's classes..."

The manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore greeted Fei in surprise at first, but soon his expression turned very bad and his words got stuck.

Especially when he saw Professor McGonagall and Harry Potter coming in, he looked even more desperate.

"Professor McGonagall...you are here to buy new textbooks, right?"

The manager's apocalyptic tone and expression confused both Professor McGonagall and Harry.

"Yes, I need one copy each of "The Monster Book of Monsters", "Looking Through the Fog to See the Future", "Intermediate Transfiguration" and "Standard Spells: Level 3".

When Professor McGonagall mentioned the divination class textbook, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

She actually didn't have any objections to the divination class. What she didn't like was the alarmist Sybill Trelawney.

In the eyes of Professor McGonagall, Professor Trelawney is no different from Lockhart who has been imprisoned in Azkaban.

"Oh...it's true..."

The bookstore manager's expression became even more desperate, and then he looked at Harry Potter again.

"What about you? What books do you need?"

Harry scratched his head, because his course selection was exactly the same as Fish's, so he replied: "I also want the same textbook, but I already have "The Monster Book of Monsters", just give me the other three."

"

As soon as Harry's words came out of his mouth, the manager's expression changed drastically. It wasn't until he heard the next words that his expression became a little better.

He first took out a pair of thick gloves from under the counter and put them on, then he picked up a large, knotted cane leaning against the wall, and then put on a heroic and righteous expression.

Walk towards the cage containing the "Yōkai Book of Monsters".

"Quiet! Quiet for me!"

The bookstore manager roared and put his cane into the cage. He banged it a few times and tried to drive away the monster books inside as close to the cage door as possible. Then he quickly opened the cage door, reached in and grabbed a book nearby, and immediately lifted his arm.

He pulled it out and quickly closed the cage.

The monster book caught in the manager's hand was not restless. It kept chewing on the manager's palms and forearms, leaving rows of teeth marks on the gloves and making constant "click-click" sounds.
