Chapter 309 Hermione’s Gift (3rd update)

"I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, that little one would grow up to be a big girl!"

Seeing Hermione running over, Jerry couldn't help but let out a sigh.

I still remember that when I first came to this world and met Hermione for the first time in Madam Malkin's robe store in Diagon Alley, she was just a arrogant little thing.

In the blink of an eye, this world has only been around for two years, and she has already grown into a young girl exuding a youthful atmosphere.

It really feels like the girl next door is just starting to grow up.

"How was your vacation?"

After giving a slight hug to Hermione who rushed to him, Jerry took over the meowing Crook and asked with a smile.

Hermione's face turned red, and she took out the gem necklace engraved with Merlin's circle from her chest collar:

"I'm very happy. Thank you for your gift. It is very helpful for my study!"

"As long as it works, hey, your hair and teeth look the same as before."

Jerry nodded first, and then suddenly discovered that Hermione's originally fluffy and messy hair had become much smoother, and her rabbit-like front teeth had also shrunk to normal size.

And she seemed to have put on a light make-up, and the overall feeling suddenly changed.

In fact, the original Hermione was not ugly. If you look closely at all aspects of her facial features, she was quite delicate. However, her fluffy hair and teeth, and her lack of grooming, sometimes made her look like a nerd.

But it looks pretty cute to Jerry.

"I bought a magic pomade when I was in France's Magic Street. It works very well. As for the teeth, it's because I learned a new magic. Doesn't it look good?"

Hermione brushed her long, silky brown hair, her face turning slightly red.

When a girl starts to have someone she likes, no matter how crazy she was before or how little she paid attention to appearance, she will gradually learn to dress herself up.

When she received the necklace sent to her by Jerry in France, the vague window paper in Hermione's heart was suddenly broken.

She began to pay attention to her appearance, asked her mother for some tips on how to dress herself, and even walked throughout the Magic Street to find magic products that could make her hair smoother.

In bookstores, I no longer search for information on the history of French magic, but instead carefully search for magic books that can shrink my teeth.

"Well it's pretty good!"

Jerry didn't know why, but he always felt that something was not right about the current atmosphere.

"By the way, Dad, come here and give me my bag!"

Hermione seemed to suddenly think of something and waved to Mr. Granger behind her.

Mr. Granger glanced helplessly at the lady standing aside and walked over carrying a handbag.

But looking at him like that, he was obviously unhappy.

"I learned how to knit a scarf from my mother during the summer vacation. I knitted this scarf by myself using the magic yarn I bought from the Magic Street in France as a return gift!"

Hermione took the handbag from her father and took out a gray scarf.

As if the scarf could sense Hermione's thoughts, it flew up from her hand and landed on Jerry's shoulders. It was wrapped twice around his neck and tied into a nice knot.

"Thank you, it looks great, I like it very much!"

Even though it’s only 13 or 14 degrees in London in September, it still feels weird wearing a scarf.

However, seeing Hermione's expectant expression, Jerry still smiled and expressed his love for the scarf she knitted by herself.

Reciprocity was the norm, and it was normal for friends to give each other gifts, and Jerry didn't think much of it.

At this time, Mr. Granger, who was behind Hermione, looked at Jerry with eyes filled with jealousy. In the end, Mrs. Granger, who followed, gave a sharp warning with her eyes before she stepped forward and said anything.

Something that ruins the atmosphere.

"As long as you like it, my mother told me that the first gift he gave to my father was a scarf she knitted by herself!"

Hermione lowered her head and looked at her toes and murmured in a mosquito-like voice.

"."

Jerry's ears were so sensitive. Although Hermione's voice was very small, he could still hear her clearly. And he was not really stupid, so he was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, at this time, Ron also came over laughing with Harry.

"Jerry, Hermione, let me show you my new wand. It is willow wood, fourteen inches long, and has a unicorn tail hair in it!"

Ron had been using his brother's old wand before, which didn't match him at all, and there were often some messy problems when performing magic.

This time Arthur won the jackpot of the Daily Prophet and finally spent money to get him a new wand that suited him.

"Meow~┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~"

As if he sensed something, Crookshanks' fur suddenly exploded. He stuck his head out of Jerry's arms, pointed in Ron's direction and let out a menacing meow.

Crookshanks has the blood of Catnives, and Catnives blood can sense the malicious presence nearby. Although Ron is not malicious, the pet Scabbers in his pocket, that is, Peter Pettigrew is full of malicious intentions.

"Oh, Jerry, hold him tight. Spot is acclimated in Egypt and is dying now. We can't be scared anymore!"

When Ron saw Crookshanks in Jerry's hand, he immediately covered the trembling Scabbers in his pocket with his hand.

Originally, when Crookshanks was raised by Jerry, he stayed in the Slytherin dormitory, so no problems occurred.

But last semester, because Hermione liked Crookshanks too much, Jerry gave Crookshanks to Hermione to raise. This resulted in Crookshanks often chasing Scabbers everywhere in the Gryffindor dormitory.

Running situation.

Before Jerry could answer, Hermione had already taken a step forward to protect Crook and said:

"It's just a cat. It's natural for cats to catch mice. Don't be so aggressive, you'll scare it!"

"I scared it, I..."

The corner of Ron's mouth twitched and he was about to retort, but was interrupted by Jerry with a smile:

"Okay, I'll be optimistic about Crookshanks. It's getting late now, let's go buy new textbooks!"

He knew that Ron's Scabbers was probably not acclimated, but was frightened when he heard the news about Sirius's escape from Arcaban.

Everyone thought that Sirius escaped from prison to kill Harry Potter and avenge Voldemort. Only the cowardly Pettigrew knew that Sirius escaped from prison to kill him. How could he not be afraid?

But Jerry knew that now was not a good time to expose Pettigrew, so instead of continuing to delve into the issue, he changed the subject.

"I've bought everything in the past few days, but I can accompany you!"

Harry stepped forward and agreed.
