"We won't go in. We'll go home and catch up on some sleep." Irene sent them outside the station and left.
"..."
Watching the car driving away, the two of them walked to the ninth platform in silence, waiting for other friends.
"How's that black egg?" Ivy asked casually when he had nothing to do.
"I thought you forgot." Betty lifted up her hair that was hanging around her ears. As she got older, her hair had grown to fall down on her shoulders. Recently, Wendy and Irene took her to have her hair styled, and now the ends of her hair are
Part of her hair was permed into curls, giving her a little more beauty and less coolness.
"Has it hatched? Let me take a look." Ivy was also curious about what was inside.
"It's right here." Betty lifted her hair and motioned him to look over her shoulder.
"Here?"
Ivey tried his best to keep his eyes open and reached out to dig around, but still found nothing.
"What, this is it! You're not kidding me, are you?" There was an expression on his face that said, "Are you kidding me?"
Betty turned her head and found nothing. She shouted softly, "Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, in Ivey's surprised eyes, a dark cat appeared. The cat's proportions were abnormally imbalanced, with short limbs and torso, and a big head, like a big-headed doll. It had a dark, round face.
, except for those big brown eyes
, nothing else can be seen. The most exaggerated thing is the ears. The two triangles standing high up are almost as wide as the face. At this moment, it is squatting on Betty's shoulders, close to her neck, with a slender tail standing upright.
Up, curled up next to Betty's ear.
"It's really hatched!" Ivy was quite surprised. He thought it would take a long time to wait.
The cat in front of me... uh... may be a cat creature, just like its eggs. The sunshine in London is rare today, but the sunlight shining on it is like being absorbed by a black hole, unable to reflect any appearance. Except for Yuangu
Long's big eyes, his body is like a shadow.
"Why can't you see it? And you can't even touch it." While he was surprised by the appearance, he also thought of the weird situation just now. Even if it is invisible, it should be able to be touched.
"It's its innate ability that allows the body to switch between reality and virtuality." As the owner, Betty seemed to understand it very well.
"Can you communicate with it?"
"I can probably understand the meaning," Betty replied.
"Can you touch it when it's in physical form?"
"Just try it"
Ivey raised his hand and reached out to the cat. The black cat raised its head and stared at him curiously with its big eyes, showing no signs of defense. In its curious eyes, Ivey touched it. Unexpectedly, the touch felt the same as the black egg.
It's completely different. The fur is warm and smooth, and feels better than ordinary cats. The cat also enjoys his touch, squinting its eyes comfortably and wagging its tail.
But there is also a regret. Compared with other cats, it is too small and does not have the pleasure of being stroked to the end.
"How long?"
"It must have been the night before yesterday. Anyway, when I woke up in the morning, I found it sleeping in my arms." Betty also reached out and touched it.
"In your arms? It's still a perverted cat."
"Meow——" the cat meowed dissatisfiedly
"It is similar to elemental creatures and is gender-neutral." She rolled her eyes at him and explained simply.
"What does it eat?"
"It basically likes what we like to eat, and it doesn't hate it when we feed it magic energy."
"This is easy to handle." Ivey took out the magic stone and handed it to him, "You are lucky."
Unexpectedly, the cat felt a little disgusted. It stuck out its pink tongue towards the magic stone, and then licked Betty's neck affectionately.
"What's going on? Have you learned how to put on a show?" Ivey didn't expect this kind of reaction at all.
"It likes the magic in me. Your reluctance is okay." Betty translated.
"It's not big, but it does a lot of things." He put away the magic stone depressedly, "Have you given it a name?"
"No" Betty shook her head, "How about you get up?"
"How about charcoal balls? They're cute," Ivy blurted out. In his impression, all black cats seemed to have this name.
"What's so cute?" Betty said coldly
"Woo——" the cat also growled.
"You should tell me what you want," he said helplessly.
This cat seemed to understand what people said. When he heard the words, he kept rubbing against Betty and bared his teeth and claws at Ivy.
"What is it going to do?"
"It said it wanted my last name to be Bei"
"Ah!" Ivey was surprised at first, and then said dullly, "But your surname is not Bei either."
"Do you care? You can do it if you are told. There is so much nonsense." Betty was angry.
"Okay, okay, it's really troublesome."
Ivey began to desperately recall words related to Bay.
"Bei-bei-shell? Of course, it can't be done, right?" Seeing Betty's unkind look, she quickly changed her tune.
"Bei-Bei Bei? Hua Bei? Not even"
"Vegita? Beckham? Bei Ye? Belial?"
"This is a man's name," Betty said dissatisfiedly
"Didn't you just say it has no gender?" He just retorted when Betty's eyes suddenly became dangerous.
"Okay, okay, let me think about it again. Be-be-best?" Ivey tried to ask
"Best, this seems to be some Egyptian god."
"You don't care which god it is, as long as it sounds good."
"Okay, let's call it this" she decided.
"Phew - it works." Ivey let out a long breath, and he couldn't think of anything else.
Wiping the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, he looked up at the time. It was already half past ten.
"They are so slow"
"How about we wait on the train and grab a carriage first~" Betty replied teasing the cat.
It can be seen that Betty likes the little guy very much, and Ivy’s spending so much money is not in vain.
"Good idea, let's go in first."
Getting ready to go through the wall
"Betty - Ivy!" A clear voice suddenly came, and a cheerful figure ran not far away. Hermione pushed the trolley and beckoned as she rushed over, attracting the attention of many Muggles nearby.
"Stop, stop! Hermione, do you want to hit us to death?" Ivy quickly stepped forward to help her stabilize.
"Long time no see." The excited Hermione gave the two of them a big hug.
"You're too slow, we're all going to get in the car first," Ivey said.
"Aren't you going to wait for Ron and the others?"
"There are many of us. Let's go up and grab a carriage first."
The three of them entered platform nine and three-quarters first.

More than ten minutes later
Harry and the Weasley family hurried to the station. They hurriedly unloaded their luggage and hurried to the platform.
"Same as last year, the partition wall between the ninth and tenth platforms. Don't let Muggles notice you when you wear it. Time is very tight, the train will leave soon. Everyone, hurry up and get on the ground one by one." On the way, Wei
Mrs. Sly kept reminding her
Arrive at the platform
"Percy, come on. Hurry!" Mrs. Weasley looked at the clock, her voice a little urgent.
Percy walked quickly through the wall. Then Mr. Weasley took Fred and George, and then Mrs. Weasley took Ginny, who was reporting for the first time.
