Chapter 85 Surroundings
The commotion caused by cat ears lasted for several days, but after everyone got used to Fish's cat ears, they slowly returned to their previous state.
That is, everyone, especially the girls, fed Fish more frequently, and when he wandered around Hogwarts, there were a little more onlookers, and their eyes were always on the cat ears on Fish's head.
But this was no big deal for Fish. Anyway, as long as he didn't want to, those people wouldn't pinch his ears forcibly, and with Fish's reaction speed, those little wizards couldn't succeed in sneaking.
During this period, Fish followed Hagrid to the Forbidden Forest for a few laps. I don't know if it was because of Hagrid's presence or some other reason, the big spiders never came to trouble Fish, so Fish quickly forgot about it and met a lot of friends in the Forbidden Forest.
On the other hand, Professor Quirrell and Voldemort haven't taken action against Fish yet, not because Hagrid is by his side, but because they are now busy finding out the content of the level after the troll and how to get through the three-headed dog Fluffy.
There is no rush to take revenge on Fish. If he alerts Dumbledore, it will be bad.
Judging from the popularity of that damned kid in Hogwarts, Dumbledore will never let it go if something happens to him.
But it is precisely because of this that Voldemort is more and more concerned about taking revenge on Fish. He can rely on killing a little wizard to hit Dumbledore. This kind of thing is profitable no matter how you think about it.
So...
After finding a way to seize the Philosopher's Stone, he must torture this stinky kid severely, and then kill him and hang his body in front of the gate of Hogwarts!
Voldemort, who had suffered a great loss at the hands of Fish before, thought viciously in his heart.
...
"The Weasley twins present you - cat ear hairpins!
There are different styles of cat ears for you to choose from!
The same style of cat ears as Fish - three silver Sickles.
Other styles of cat ears - only one silver Sickle.
If you are interested, please contact the Weasley twins to buy.
The quantity is limited! First come, first served!"
Just as the commotion caused by cat ear Fish was coming to an end, an advertisement for cat ear hairpins appeared on the bulletin board in the Gryffindor common room.
This is the money-making idea George mentioned a few days ago. Recently, he and Fred have been working together to study this product that will surely be popular in Hogwarts whenever they have time.
After the two of them worked overtime, they finally came up with the cat ear hairpins before the discussion of cat ears had subsided, and they have already produced a batch of finished products.
It has to be said that although the Weasley twins often play pranks, they are also capable and have a good eye for business. Once the cat ear hairpins they made were launched, they immediately became popular throughout Gryffindor College and are likely to spread to the other three colleges.
"Don't push! Don't push! Come one by one! Ravenclaw over there, line up!"
In the corridor outside the entrance of the Gryffindor common room, Fred stood on a wooden box and loudly directed the students who wanted to buy cat ear hairpins.
George, holding a huge bag, stood next to the box and distributed cat ears of various shapes to customers. Their good brother Ron and good friend Lee Jordan were pulled in to help, one was responsible for collecting and paying, and the other was responsible for maintaining order.
"One pair of orange cat ears and one pair of white cat ears, two Sickles in total."
"Three pairs of silver tabby cat ears of the same style as Fish, and one pair of black cat ears, one Galleon for you, and seven Sickles in change, please keep it."
It was the first time that Ron had handled so much money. Even though he knew that the money was not his, he was still very excited because his two brothers promised to give him ten Sickles as labor fees after the items were sold out.
Although it was only ten Sickles, this was the largest amount of pocket money Ron had ever received since he was born.
"Line up! Don't rush!"
Ron collected the money skillfully while shouting to help Lee Jordan maintain order.
As the most popular cat ear style, even though the twins made the most and set the highest price, the cat ears of the same style as Fish were still the first to be sold out among all styles, just like the previous few days.
However, George, who had already had experience, immediately shouted loudly: "The Fish model is sold out! If you need it, please go to Fred to make a reservation!"
So more than half of the people who were originally in the queue in front of George squeezed in front of Fred next to him.
Fred took out a notebook calmly and began to record the names of the reservation holders. At the same time, he also loudly told these people: "Please pay 15 copper turners to Red Hair No. 4 as a deposit when making a reservation! Thank you for your cooperation!"
Just when the twins were doing their small business in full swing, Fish came out of the hole in the wall behind the portrait of the Fat Lady and walked slowly past the crowd.
He had known about the cat ear hairpins made by Red Hair No. 2 and No. 3 for a long time, but Fish didn't care much. He was not incapable of Transfiguration, and it was quite interesting for everyone to pretend to be cat people.
What really concerned him was that these cat ear hairpins looked very similar to Minerva's original cat ears. When the ears shook, they were very rigid and did not conform to the logic of cat ears when moving. They did not look like real ears.
At that time, Fish didn't care much, but now seeing so many fake cat ears, and thinking back to the cat ears on Professor McGonagall's head a few days ago, Fish began to have some doubts in his heart.
Could it be that... Minerva didn't become a real cat person?
Full of thoughts, Fish ignored the calls of the little wizards around him along the way and staggered to the kitchen.
"Comi! I'm hungry, meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)
"The food will be here soon! Master Fish! You sit here first!"
The house elves in the kitchen acted quickly and presented Fish with a plate of delicious food.
Fish, who was feasting, immediately put aside his previous worries. Compared with eating, drinking and having fun, whether Minerva was a cat person was actually not that important.
As time passed, the cat ear hairpins made by the twins gradually became unsellable, because most students had already bought more than one pair. Now, students with a pair of cat ears can be seen everywhere in Hogwarts walking around the castle.
Those who did not buy cat ear hairpins were basically senior students with high grades. They were good enough to make similar props by themselves or use Transfiguration to transform into a pair of cat ears, so they did not need to spend this money.
But among the lower grades and those who were not good at Transfiguration, Weasley cat ear hairpins were basically owned by everyone, even Hermione Granger, the know-it-all.
Even professors like Sprout, who were approachable, bought one to wear for fun, and Professor Flitwick, who could not use cat ear hairpins because of his baldness, made a cat ear headband to wear.
Headmaster Dumbledore not only collected all styles of cat ear hairpins, but also gave the twins ten points each to encourage their creativity and skills.
The twins made a lot of money with the help of Fish's help. The two have even begun to discuss the development of more products and treat it as a business.
