Hogwarts pet owl

Errol held [Ellie's] cage in her hand and followed Molly and Mrs. Longbottom, looking for Neville from store to store.

Ellie is naturally the owl who looks very similar to Errol. Her name was given by Molly's mother, but Errol actually doesn't like it.

Because as soon as she heard this name, she could not help but hear in her mind:

"Why are you wearing Pinru's clothes?"

"You're so naughty!"

This made Errol feel uncomfortable all over.

However, in addition to Molly, Ron and Ginny also thought the name was very good - they even said that if they had known that Errol was a female owl more than ten years ago, they would have called her Ellie.

Ron even asked her: "Ello, do you think the name Ellie suits you better? It doesn't matter, changing your name shouldn't be a big deal!"

Thank you, I am very satisfied with the name Errol!

……

Diagon Alley is not a big place, and if you are just looking for people, it won't take much time to visit all the shops.

"Mrs. Longbottom, Neville wouldn't have wandered into Knockturn Alley by mistake, would he?"

Harry still remembers Knockturn Alley. Last semester, he made a mistake in using Floo powder and ran into Knockturn Alley - that place is a gathering place for dark wizards. Now that he thinks about it, he gets goosebumps all over his body.

Mrs. Longbottom's expression changed greatly——

Based on what she knew about her grandson, it was really possible that this kid might wander into Knockturn Alley by mistake.

"Damn it! If those dark wizards dare to attack me, Neville, I will definitely bring down Knockturn Alley!"

As the head matron of the Longbottom family, one of the twenty-eight sacred clans, Mrs. Longbottom is not an easygoing person!

She strode towards Knockturn Alley, with the Weasleys close behind.

As soon as they entered Knockturn Alley, they saw Neville carrying his backpack and staggering towards them.

"grandmother……"

The poor boy looked panicked, and his already rosy face turned even redder now.

Behind him, three or four wizards in black robes were chasing after her. Mrs. Longbottom's eyes almost burst into flames when she saw this.

The old woman drew her wand at a speed befitting her age—

"All petrified!"

"Grin and hula!"

Errol's eyes lit up, this magic combination was very interesting!

I saw that the wizards chasing Neville were frozen in place, unable to move, but visible to the naked eye, the muscles on their faces were spasming, and they even began to sweat like waterfalls -

Petrification is different from the petrification of the basilisk. It does not turn people into stone, but makes people lose their ability to move, and their senses are still there.

So it is really a cruel thing to make a person unable to move, but to suffer unbearable itching and at the same time not being able to laugh.

It can only be said that Mrs. Longbottom is worthy of being able to come up with such a torture method without using the Unforgivable Curse.

In Errol's opinion, this set of punishments is definitely no less than the Cruciatus Curse.

"Neville, are you okay? How did you end up in Knockturn Alley by mistake? How many times have I told you! Knockturn Alley is dangerous!"

The old lady put away her wand and supported Neville.

Neville gasped and was about to answer, but his eyes rolled and he fainted.

"poor child,"

Molly covered her mouth with her hands and shook her head slightly.

"He must be frightened. Mrs. Longbottom, do you need us to take you home?"

"No, thank you, Molly, I'm not too old to move yet."

Mrs. Longbottom gently raised her right hand, causing Neville to float into the air. The old woman planned to take her "living" grandson home.

I hope no one from Hogwarts sees him along the way, otherwise Neville will die before the new semester begins.

"I really want to thank you for your help today. I heard Neville say that when he was at school, Harry and Ron always helped him. I will keep your friendship in mind. Now I want to take Neville back. You’re wasting your time, let’s have dinner together later if we have a chance.”

Molly smiled and responded, "Of course, I look forward to hearing from you."

Errol frowned slightly as she watched Longbottom's grandparents disappear at the end of the street. Neville's line of reality seemed a little different? Was he cursed?

……

……

The new semester has finally begun.

Errol came directly to Hogwarts——

If you have some free time and it's really slow to sit down, why not go to the Pig's Head Bar and have two more drinks?

She originally wanted to use a substitute to attend the back-to-school dinner, but finally thought about it and decided against it.

According to the original plot, at this time Barty Crouch Jr. should disguise himself as retired Auror "Mad Eye" Alastor Moody and serve as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the new semester.

In order to imitate the image, Little Barty even used Old Moody's "Magic Eye", which can see through many things.

Errol doesn't want her substitute to be seen through, as this is a major issue that affects whether she can fish in her future student career!

If you just don't get caught by the magic eye, then you are still passive to some extent.

Therefore, Errol's idea was to strike first.

During the World Cup final, the Aurors let Barty Crouch Jr. escape. If Barty Crouch Jr. dared to sneak into Hogwarts like the original,

Errol wouldn't mind sending him to Azkaban -

Perhaps the record for the fastest GG by a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is about to be established.

……

When the little wizards came to the auditorium one after another, Errol was already sitting at the Slytherin table - before the end of the sorting today, she still had to continue her affiliation with the school from the previous semester.

However, unlike last semester, Errol felt many resentful looks from the little Slytherin wizards.

What's going on here? Is she no longer the group favorite?

After thinking for a moment, Errol understood the origin of these glances.

The Death Eaters caused trouble at the World Cup, but were wiped out by the well-prepared Ministry of Magic. Many of the descendants of these Death Eaters are studying at Hogwarts.

As for why I hate Errol——

Isn't this obvious?

In their view, Xiang Xin Li was a servant of the "Lin family", or to be precise, Errol's personal butler. Almost everyone in the pure-blood family knew this.

Xiang Xin Li led this operation. If you say it has nothing to do with Ai Luoer, who will believe it?

Even if it has nothing to do with you, Errol, you, the master, have nothing to do with what the servant does!

Ha, so that’s it.

Anyway, the families that should be wined over have already been won over. Those pure-blood families that Voldemort would go to at the drop of a hat were not on his list of "unity" targets.

Having figured everything out, Errol ignored the looks that wanted to kill her.

"It's a new semester again, and I have two things to announce."

Dumbledore smiled broadly, as if Voldemort's return had no impact on him at all.

"Oh, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor hasn't arrived yet, so I will announce the second thing -"

"There will be no more Quidditch matches this term."

The little wizards were in an uproar.

This has only happened once in history, and the principal who did it was Phineas Black, who is known as the most unpopular principal in history.

So does Dumbledore want to compete for the title?

"Silence! Silence!"

"We stopped Quidditch because we were going to have a bigger event this school year-"

"The Triwizard Tournament!"

"This is a traditional competition between European wizarding schools, co-organized by Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons!"

"For some reasons, this event has been suspended for many years. But this year, with the strong support of the Ministry of Magic, we will restart this event!"

"At that time, professors and students from the other two houses will come to our Hogwarts. Please remember, children, you represent Hogwarts. Don't discredit the school."

"The three schools will select a warrior to represent their respective schools in the competition. This warrior must have courage, wisdom and extraordinary magical skills. Of course, this is also a supreme honor. The warrior who wins the Triwizard Tournament will You will receive a bonus of one thousand gold galleons.”

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, the young wizards started talking and almost overturned the ceiling of the auditorium.

Ron's eyes were shining. He didn't need glory or anything like that, but a thousand gold galleons was very attractive.

"Oh!"

The auditorium door was pushed open,

"boom!"

It happened to be raining heavily outside, and a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the corridor, but leaving the visitor in a backlit state, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

Errol secretly thought, here it comes!

Dumbledore said loudly from above,

"Looks like our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has arrived!"

The electric light faded away, and the lights of the auditorium shone on the faces of the visitors.

Even though there was no backlight, the person's face was still so dark that Errol was stunned.

The little mouth was open, but he forgot to close it for a moment.

"Welcome Lin Lan, the heroine who saves the world! She is our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester!"

The little wizards cheered,

Errol Stunned Weasley, on the other hand, was completely confused.
