Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 259 Hogwarts Chicken Farm

McGuffin and the others never thought that what Hagrid meant by being interesting... something like that.

The scene before them was:

Hundreds of roosters, hens, and chicks scurried through the corridors like buffalo migrating.

——Thousands of chickens are galloping, unstoppable.

Leaving the woo-woo-woo chirping and chicken feathers all over the place.

Or something black and brown indescribable, speckled...

--vomit!

The Aurors collapsed and yelled behind, their faces covered with marks from all kinds of fights with Uncle Chicken.

The professors hid in their offices and did not show their faces.

Filch almost went crazy watching all this.

……

And the reason for all this...

- Keke!
Let's start at the beginning.

After the MacGuffin uttered his basilisk conjecture that day...

Not two days later, all the Aurors who were stationed at Hogwarts to check the plumbing were holding a big cock that was proud of themselves.

Every little wizard must be humble and careful when they meet, and let these chicken uncles pass first.

And also bend down and bow your head to avoid looking directly.

Once there were two young wizards (George and Fred) who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, wanted to try Uncle Chicken's ability.

So... Uncle Chicken let them know how powerful the No. [-] bully of Xinshou Village is.

You can tease a dog, catch a chicken...

Ha ha!

The blood-stained faces and the broken hair of the two were the end.

After Uncle Chicken got the Pentakill (Rampage) and the group wiped out...the Legendary, finally all the little wizards understood who is the boss in this school now.

In other words, little wizards have finally learned the humble etiquette among wizards.

Although it is facing a few uncle chickens.

Other than that,

Even if it wasn't in the corridors, there was a Ministry of Magic rooster waiting here in the communal dormitories of the upcoming college.

Standing proudly on the copper rod in mid-air, shouting twice from time to time to scare the little wizard.

'Chicken Health' is bright and full.

By the way, most of these chickens are kept by Hagrid!
Only he can control these guys...or breed such a fierce rooster.

To add fuel to the flames, the actions of the Ministry of Magic clearly proved that what McGuffin said in the restaurant a few days ago was correct—the rooster is the most useful talisman against basilisks.

One can imagine what the various rumors have become after Hogwarts' traditional performing arts.

For a while, [Hogwarts Theological School] couldn't keep fooling around.

replaced by:
——【Hogwarts Chicken Farm】is here!

Hogwarts students of all years wrote to their families... wanting to buy a rooster or a hen as a talisman. (even senior wizards)

But apparently some of the little wizards weren't listening, and that didn't hurt, except... there were going to be more chicks and eggs in the school before long.

In this way, roosters became popular as pets in Hogwarts school... most of the little wizards mailed roosters to the school through owls.

——Originally, the Fantastic Beasts Pet Store did not provide this service.

Under normal circumstances, who sells roosters!
Crazy people do this kind of thing.

But now is not the usual situation...so...so...

Afterwards, these merchants prepared this kind of product like crazy, and because it was too popular, Le crooked his mouth.

Every morning you could see the owl laboring, grabbing a comatose rooster and bringing it here in a cage... or it was brought to Hagrid by the Hogsmeade village store, and transferred from there by other staff to give to the little wizard.

That's it, soon, soon!

Hogwarts Castle is filled with all kinds of hens and roosters.

There are Southeast Asian fighting cocks, North American giant turkeys, African tall cocks... South American turkeys, black silkies... Magical, Muggle, practical, and ornamental.

This also led to the scene just now. Somehow, an Indian god chicken seemed to be mixed in among these chickens. As a model of democracy, he led the male and hen chickens of the whole school to protest for unknown reasons at a certain time every day.

And people still can't find this exotic 'chicken king'.

I can only either break down, ignore it, or watch this scene happen every day.

McGuffin's take on this is...

Squeeze, squeak...

l￣﹃￣

McGuffin had no choice but to seal the memories of the luminous cooking in the little master's house deep in his mind with Occlumency, and only then did he stop his sinful...

Phew...ideas!
Of course, this is also related to the impressive record of these roosters killing three, five, and other little wizards.

Especially Neville, who lives in the same dormitory as McGuffin, has to save his toad Raffle from the hands of the two chickens he raises all day long.

This guy obviously can't deal with these chicken uncles, but he dared to buy the most vicious fighting cock, and he bought two pairs of one male and one female...

These two uncles and mothers bullied Neville... It was really horrible, and it was all thanks to Harry and McGuffin's help... Their dormitory would not become the three-ring villa of these two chickens.

Fortunately, this is a magic school, so Hogwarts Castle doesn't smell like chicken manure.

But the chicken feathers that fell in the corridor, or the eggs laid by the hens in every corner were enough for Filch to collapse, of course not to mention the various taste experiences brought to him by the various indescribable SNPs.

His sanity has completely collapsed.

Although Filch was as angry as Dumbledore, and Fudge had sued, other professors and Aurors obviously thought this kind of thing was harmless (obviously no matter what happened to them)

Compared with the rampage of basilisks in Hogwarts, raising some roosters can appease the hearts of little wizards and parents, which is already a big advantage.

At least let's deal with it for a while.

However, in order to appease Filch, and also to prevent Hogwarts Castle from developing in the direction of a chicken farm...

The school issued the Nth ban for this semester.

——Every little wizard who raises a rooster as a talisman must bring a bag to clean up the 'waste' left by the rooster.

He even gave it a literary name like 'waste', and the tone of it seems to be Gildero's handwriting.

In short, this situation continued for several weeks, until the end of the holiday.

The basilisk remained missing, and no one was attacked. McGuffin asked Hagrid again for a few spiders to raise, but there was no response as an early warning machine.

The magical Auror had no choice but to leave the school after searching for the pipeline but not finding the basilisk or the giant plant attack.

It's just that those uncle cocks are left as a means of protection.

They vented some giant snake scales in the pipe, which corroborated what McGuffin said, but the basilisk never appeared, and they couldn't tear down Hogwarts to find the basilisk now!
So we can only take precautions first, and the Ministry of Magic plans to deal with the giant plant after it is dealt with.Originally, they came here for the giant plants. If such monsters did not appear, there would be no need for them to exist here.

And those braziers made of copper gradually moved away as the temperature rose.

Some of the school's professors have come back to stabilize the school order.

Hogwarts started 'normal' class teaching.

Everything is moving in the direction of normalization. .

Of course, if the little wizard ignores the clucking and clucking roosters during class, the hen will be the same as usual.

But the information about the basilisk has been gradually revealed by other little wizards, and gradually grasped... The practice of flooding the school with roosters really made many little wizards relax. They even began to complain about why the school did not lift the isolation and prohibition measures and resume normal school life.

But in comparison, the current situation of Hogwarts is not bad...

The entire wizarding world is still in the same dire situation as it was before Christmas.

Even the harsh country like the United States Ministry of Magic, which is dominated by Aurors and punishes them at every turn, has been attacked...

This makes the wizards panic, and some people have compared this mysterious terrorist wizard organization with Voldemort and Grindelwald.

These days, Percy's magical radio station with the banshee's broken voice was taken out by the twin brothers every night to broadcast news from the outside world in the common room.

(Only prefects have the right to use this dangerous magic item... Every time this banshee magic radio is turned on, it needs blood as energy to play. Once it is not satisfied, it will make a piercing howl, and may even cause the listener to be permanently deaf...)
There are many little wizards who gather in front of this radio at night to talk and give advice.

"Rita Skeeter from the Daily Prophet confirms that New York City's iconic Muggle landmark, the Statue of Liberty, was torn apart by a giant fir tree."

"After a difficult 'Operation Weeding', the Statue of Liberty had its head blown off in half by some US Minister of Magic..."

"The Aurors of the U.S. Department of Magic are all dispatching to try to complete the repair tomorrow morning. Now there has been a Muggle Repelling Charm set up there, and a number plate that is temporarily closed for maintenance and cleaning...Please stay away from the wizards, so as not to arrest the terrorist attackers."

"When asked how the U.S. Secretary of Magic felt about blasting the Muggle markers... and whether this incident has confirmed that this incident is related to a series of giant plant terrorist attacks from the British wizarding world and Europe?"

"Their spokesperson, Eli Waring, refused to speak on the former question, but he asked the latter question that this kind of thing should be a matter of the British Ministry of Magic..."

"The above news was reproduced in... the [Daily Prophet] on January 1!"

After the broadcast was over, the speakers on either side of the battered radio began to say:
"Buzzing...squeaking...chucking...ah!!
The shrill scream shook all the little wizards to cover their ears immediately, and there was a sheet on the old black plastic case of the radio that was full of stench, and there were thousands of short and thin fangs... when the mouth was huge...

Fred slapped it quickly and hard, then tapped his wand again while the thing was spinning, shutting it off.

"Yes! Let those Yankees laugh at us..." Wood waved his hand bitterly after hearing this.

The roosters in a big cage next to him started crowing again, fighting each other, and their feathers flew around.

"Stop, stop... You guys must at least find the basilisk for me, and I don't care what you do!!"

Ever since he knew that the basilisk was infested and caused the cancellation of the Quidditch match, Wood has been holding three or two roosters in his hand. He bought a rooster and patrolled around, trying to catch the basilisk and let Quidditch be held again.

After Professor McGonagall found out about this, he couldn't laugh or cry.

But under Wood's stalking, in the end he had no choice but to agree to let him patrol with some Aurors and faculty members, looking for the Basilisk.

(Dumbledore returned to the Ministry of Magic again due to the current state of the wizarding world, helping it catch those dark wizards.)
"Damn Yankee... how dare you insult Quidditch!" Wood Oliver was very indignant.

Fred next to him explained to Harry:
Wood has a pen pal from the American School of Wizardry.

When the two were arguing about what is the most interesting magical sport in the world during a correspondence, they got into a heated argument, which developed to threats by sending shouting letters to each other.

In the end, even his American pen pal mailed him a disgusting itching powder in a letter, which caused a lot of itchy and disgusting small pimples on his body, and he had to recuperate in the school hospital for half a month, and even almost delayed the Quidditch match that year.

"This makes Wood very resentful towards the Americans...especially their disguised Quidditch sport, what is it called... Fred!" George asked.

"Ghost Explosion! It's a very dangerous and stupid game... How could someone fly around in the sky with an explosive thing!"

Wood yelled at the roosters with his wand to stop fighting, and took the time to answer the question.

Apparently he was very disgusted with this Quidditch-derived sport, and any information about it caught his attention.

Fred is getting ready to pack up this banshee magic radio.

The news broadcast tonight is over. They just broadcast the funny show about the two-headed witch sisters in Germany, and the 24-hour global hot news about the female ghost in France... and the last [Daily Prophet] news...

After such a long time, now this thing must rest, otherwise it will bite some little wizard's nose viciously while people are not paying attention, and suck blood.

Strictly speaking, this thing is still a contraband, and it belongs to Percy's personal belongings. They also took advantage of this guy's petrification to enjoy himself.

The twins have wanted to play for a long time, but Percy has refused to let it go, and now finally...

"I didn't expect Hogwarts to be the safest place now!" Fred said while tidying up.

Neville was very worried, and his little face was crumpled with fear.

"Who the hell did it! Attacks like this all over the world...how could he do it!"

"It doesn't have to be him, it might be her...or they...or..." Lee Jordan glanced at Harry and said loudly, "or the mysterious man did it...and I heard that the famous dark wizard Grindelwald was not dead, but was imprisoned in a castle in Europe...or maybe he did it..."

"Only a dark wizard of this level can attack all over the world... without being discovered!"

Lee Jordan's statement won the gathering of students. Obviously, this kind of conspiracy theory is very marketable.

But this kind of quarreling, speeches, and the sound of the radio not long ago... made Hermione unable to concentrate on studying.

She closed the book fiercely, and cast a [Curse of closing ears and hearing] on herself.

This guy is teaching himself a "Book of Introduction to Simple Magic Text", which lists the general grammar of ancient Latin, as well as some ancient Egyptian texts, ancient Babylonian magic texts, Greek, and some fragmentary introductions to East Asian texts. McGuffin even saw some extremely complicated oracle bone inscriptions from it.

It's just... Anyway, Ron didn't dare to look at it, and hid far away.

Other than that,

The start of a new term also means that the daily homework starts again.

And due to the absence of professors, the daily class hours are severely reduced (because ghosts are not allowed to teach after the ruling of the Ministry of Magic...except for Professor Binns...), so this means a lot of homework and papers are re-assigned.

The professors apparently thought this would reduce the chances of little wizards wandering around and getting into trouble.

This is especially true for the little wizards in the lower grades.
