Chapter 253 Happy Banban

Ron was extremely surprised: this was the first time he had seen someone willing to buy his pet mouse.

"Why did you suddenly say this?" he asked in confusion.

"I'm a 'snake', isn't it normal to like mice?" Rice made a little joke, which made Ron couldn't help laughing.

"No wonder I like all kinds of meat, because I'm a lion." He replied.

Rice wanted to buy Ron's mouse, not because he was possessed by the "basilisk", but after a brief glance just now, he was extremely surprised to find that Ron's mouse was a bit problematic!

It has a strong magical fluctuation! This is obviously not an ordinary mouse. Combined with the unique skills that Professor McGonagall showed them in the first class of Transfiguration, Rice naturally realized that Ron's mouse was an Animagus.

This is very interesting: what is the reason why a wizard with good talent chooses to live as a mouse? The possibility of special quirks cannot be ruled out, but there is a high probability that there is something hidden.

Les knew about the very advanced transfiguration spell of Animagus, but he didn't know the spell. It wasn't because he couldn't learn it, but because he thought the spell was useless.

The preparatory steps were extremely cumbersome, but the benefits after practicing were pitifully low, so Les was too lazy to spend energy to learn this kind of magic - he wanted to focus on the magic that could help them survive in a bad world.

The uncontrollable transformation of Animagus was a major reason for its uselessness.

Before the Animagus ritual was completed, you never knew what you would become. You might become a tiger, a lion, or a cockroach or a mouse. This had something to do with your personality, but there was no absolute rule.

You might think you were a "lion", but you might actually be a "cat".

More importantly, turning into an animal sounds cool, but what? It's not very practical. The benefits of turning into an animal can all be replaced by magic. Even though wizards who turned into animals are much more powerful than ordinary animals, they still gave up the most powerful weapons of wizards.

Although he thought it was useless, Rice never despised this spell, because it was really difficult.

This aroused curiosity, so Rice decided to buy Ron's mouse.

"It's very special." Rice didn't say it clearly, but it also aroused Banban's vigilance.

It continued to curl up in Ron's arms without making a sound, just like sleeping. In fact, it completely shifted its attention to the conversation between Rice and Ron.

It was ready to escape.

"What's special?" Ron looked confused: "It just lives a little longer than ordinary mice."

"This is the special place." Seeing that Ron didn't notice the abnormality of his pet mouse at all, Rice didn't point out the truth about Banban, but just told Ron that he suspected Banban had the blood of some magical animal, and it might even be some undiscovered magical animal.

Ron: ...

He pinched the fat mouse in his arms, and then confirmed that it was just an extremely ordinary fat mouse.

"You really think too much." Ron felt that he had a lot to complain about, but he didn't know where to start.

"Anyway, can you bear the pain and give it up? I am really interested in it."

Daphne chimed in: "Yes, this mouse looks extraordinary! Longevity is its biggest shining point. I want to keep it in my home."

To Daphne, mice do look disgusting, but Rice seems to want it very much, that's different. She wants to get this mouse that Rice is attracted to, and then study why.

"Daphne, it may not live as long as you think..." Ron was a little embarrassed, because he really couldn't be sure of Banban's age. In his impression, Banban lived in his house when he was a child, but was the "Banban" in his childhood really the "Banban" now?

Ron didn't dare to guarantee it. After all, Banban was passed down to him by Fred and George, and he was not familiar with this mouse at first.

After hearing the name "Daphne", Banban instantly had a different idea in his mind.

One reason why he has been playing the role of a mouse for ten years is that he is already a dead man in the Ministry of Magic, and it is not convenient to show up. Once exposed, it will cause uncontrollable risks. Another extremely important reason is that he needs first-hand information from the magic world. Hiding in the Weasley family, he can get the news of the Dark Lord at the first time, and then rush to join him.

He is such a person who always chooses to stand on the side of the strongest. After the wizard war, although Voldemort collapsed, he is not dead after all! Unable to return to normal life, he chooses to continue to bet on Voldemort and continue to stand in the camp of the strong.

The Greengrass family where Daphne is is much stronger than the Weasley family. In Banban's opinion, the efficiency of collecting intelligence in her family is much better than in Ron's family.

There is almost no need to think about how to choose, it must be the thigh of a rich woman

Ron didn't know that the "mouse" in his arms was already considering joining another master. Seeing that Rice and Daphne were determined, his thoughts gradually wavered.

"Is that so? Then..."

Seeing that Ron's words were loosened, Rice, Daphne and the mouse Banban were all very happy. But Ron suddenly felt reluctant: Banban had been with him for so long, and he and Banban had feelings for each other. After handing it over, Rice and the others might use some spells on Banban to study it and make it drink some strange potions.

Banban was old and might be tortured to death...

"I'm willing to pay five Galleons, and I will never take my friends' things for nothing!" Rice's voice rang in Ron's ears.

"How much?!" Ron looked up suddenly.

"If it doesn't work, I'll--" Rice thought that Ron thought the price he offered was too low and was ready to add some more money.

"Deal!" Ron made a decision-how could he stop Banban from having a better life? He believed that Banban must be living a good life with Rice, and his life was much better than his!

With these five Galleons, plus the pocket money he saved, he could buy an owl, which was much better than a pet mouse!

In this way, Banban was traded to Rice for five Galleons.

When Banban was handed over, a barely perceptible smile flashed at the corner of its mouth. It didn't notice that Rice was also staring at it with a smile.

After taking Banban in his hand, Rice waved to Ron.

"See you in Egypt!"

"Okay!"
