Hogwarts pet owl

Chapter 46: The owl who is reckless when he has a balance

"Oh! Errol is so awesome!"

"Awesome, Errol!"

With Errol on his head, Ron was beaming with the owl girl, as if he was the one being praised.

George and Fred hid behind each other, drinking butterbeer - which they had just sneaked out to buy - while whispering and plotting something.

Ginny looked at Errol with a fond look on her face, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Oh, by the way, there was another Weasley with a doting look on his face, it was Percy. Fortunately, the twins didn't notice their pedantic brother's face while they were talking, otherwise they would have been sarcastic again.

[By the way, where is the basilisk placed? 】

After boasting enough, Errol thought of business.

To be honest, it is really difficult to deal with such a big basilisk!

"In the auditorium,"

Hermione replied,

"The basilisk has been temporarily placed in the auditorium."

Hermione looked amazed,

"This basilisk is too big! It is the largest creature I have ever seen with my own eyes! Errol, you have the courage to confront the basilisk. I admire you so much!"

[Is Dumbledore crazy for releasing the basilisk in the auditorium like this? That's a basilisk! 】

"Don't worry, Errol,"

Hermione smiled and said,

"The four Heads of House are now taking turns keeping an eye on the Basilisk, and Professor Dumbledore has gone to the Ministry of Magic."

[Is he going to let the Ministry of Magic deal with the basilisk? 】

"no,"

Percy interjected,

"Principal Dumbledore went to the Ministry of Magic to apply for the [Invisible Stretch Spell]. In order to house the basilisk, the principal planned to create a space—a space that only he knows about, so that it will be foolproof."

——The Invisible Stretch Curse cannot be used privately. It must be applied to the Ministry of Magic, approved, and recorded before it can be used. Percy's family is the hardest hit area for the private use of the Invisible Stretch Curse.

Percy looked in admiration: "As expected of Principal Dumbledore, even though he is the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, he still strictly abides by the laws of the wizarding world!"

Hermione nodded repeatedly,

"I know that. Just like Mr. Newt Scamander's suitcase!"

Well, another case of illegal and unauthorized use of the Traceless Stretching Charm.

……

Hogwarts Great Hall.

The cold moonlight shone in. In front of the huge French stick, Severus Snape was bleeding the basilisk - now it was his turn to guard the basilisk.

"Professor Snape, good evening!"

Gilderoy Lockhart walked into the Great Hall smiling,

"No matter how many times I see it, this basilisk is an amazing creature,"

"It's a pity that I went to settle that miserable house elf this afternoon and couldn't catch up with the show. Otherwise, I would never have let the basilisk escape into the Forbidden Forest."

Snape gave him a sideways look, then turned back and continued to draw blood - the scales of the basilisk were too thick, and Professor McGonagall's binding was too strong, so it was not easy to operate.

Seeing that Snape didn't pay much attention to him, Lockhart didn't take it seriously either.

"As expected of our Potion Professor. Indeed, the Basilisk is an extremely rare magical animal, and we have done very little research on it. So it is indeed worth exploring whether its parts can be used as potion materials... You need my help. Severus?"

Lockhart really had no sense of boundaries at all. He shook the wine bottle in his hand.

"I just got some good fire whiskey. How about we have a drink together and have a nice conversation about the materials in the basilisk that can be used as medicine?"

"My skills in potions are still very high. We can do research together. Maybe in the future we can jointly publish a paper like "Twelve Uses of Basilisk Blood"!"

"Get out. If you don't get out, I'm going to think you're an intruder."

Snape glared fiercely,

"The order I received from the principal is to guard the basilisk before he comes back and not to let suspicious people approach the basilisk."

Snape placed a special emphasis on the word "suspicious person."

"Gee, Severus, you are so...old-fashioned."

Lockhart shook his head regretfully.

"What a pity, what a pity. Drinking alone is really boring!"

"Ah! It's such a pity. I really didn't have good luck today. Why did I leave the stadium? Otherwise, I could write a new book - "My Half-Hour Love with the Basilisk"!"

Lockhart turned and left, saying as he walked,

"Then it's hard on you, Severus. You must be careful. I heard that you were injured by a three-headed dog last year. Don't be bitten by a basilisk this year. This thing is still quite deadly. .”

Snape watched Lockhart leave, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he held the wand tightly in his hand.

He gave up secretly collecting blood. The basilisk was in Hogwarts anyway, so he could apply directly to Dumbledore.

……

Errol was so praised by the little wizards that she was in a daze.

These are cuties who have not been polluted by society, and their praises are sincere. Unlike in her previous life, those who praised her were old foxes with more eyes than the bumps on a durian.

Even if she feels good about being flattered, she has to stay awake at all times to ensure that she will not be led into a ditch.

But here, enjoying the purest praise, Errol felt that she had arrived in heaven.

The little wizards have to go to bed after all, and the beautiful day is coming to an end soon.

Aerol couldn't understand. Tomorrow is Sunday, couldn't she stay up all night?

——Anyway, Errol herself was unconscious for most of the day, and it was impossible for her to sleep at this time.

Miss Owl cooed to herself——

I just earned a balance of 100 points, why don't I go out and play!

Errol, who has super mobility, made up her mind and immediately took action.

Climbing out of the common room, he said hello to the Fat Lady, and then met Mr. Bonas, Sir Spencer, Ms. Stork, the Countess Meyers and the Countess's cat, the dragon Claw, and Eugen. The Marquis... waited for the character in the painting to say hello, and then flew out of the castle happily.

——Since the establishment of Hogwarts, no owl like Errol has become a student. With the Fat Lady’s efforts, the characters in the portrait are very rare for Errol.

Just like the big brother from the Northeast is rare for the small potatoes from the South.

As a result, the number of Errol's friends suddenly increased to hundreds, but Miss Owl was exhausted.

Errol obviously has only one destination.

As a drunkard, where else could she go besides going to the Pig Head Bar?

"Do, do, do,"

Errol tapped the window with her beak - it was November, the weather was getting colder, and the windows of the Hog's Head Bar had been closed at night.

Hearing the sound, Aberforth immediately ran out of the bar and opened the window for Errol.

"Ello, are you here?"

[Yes, grandpa, good evening! 】

"How about a good night? It's almost 'early morning'!"

[Don’t worry about these details, I want to drink! 】

"Hahahaha, you get drunk every time, I don't dare give you a drink!"

[Just drink a little, just drink a little! 】

Aberforth carried Errol to the bar.

"Really just drink a little?"

The old man's eyes were full of narrowness, and Errol's hair was blown by the sight.

[Oh, let me get drunk, let me get drunk, tomorrow is Sunday anyway, it doesn’t matter! 】

"Hahahaha," Aberforth was so happy that he turned around and filled a large glass for the owl granddaughter.
