Hogwarts pet owl

Chapter 54 The Owl Losing Weight

Errol came to the auditorium with a small jump.

Dinner has begun, and the little owl girl is running along the Gryffindor table,

"Goo!"

"Boom!"

[Ginny, get me to the table quickly! 】

Ginny smiled and carried Errol onto the long table. Before Errol could take a look at what was going to be served tonight, she saw Ron winking from the opposite side.

"Ello, look at my hair,"

Ron pointed to his specially messed up hair,

"It's fluffy and warm, come here brother!"

Hermione: ...

Ginny:……

Harry, who knew the inside story, turned away, but his trembling body had betrayed his true feelings——

Ron worked hard for the gold galleons, but he was so proud that he did such a thing. You can imagine the trauma that Mrs. Weasley took away the fifty gold galleons and caused Ron!

Unexpectedly, Errol shook her head,

【J. 】

Errol was afraid that everyone would laugh at her clumsy way of flying, but in Ron's opinion, it meant something else -

Am I disliked by Errol? My only value to Owl Sister is gone?

"I just saw Professor Lockhart again in the library,"

Hermione said to Ginny across the long table,

"He reads books very carefully!"

Ginny asked: "What books does he read?"

"I took a look and found some books about magic circles. I was wondering if I should read similar books, because magic circles seem to be very common in the wizarding world. Ginny, do you want to come along? ?”

Ginny shook her head repeatedly.

"Forget it. This Christmas I watched my dad repair the anti-Apparition array at home. It was so difficult. Dad is a veteran, but he still blew up a few pots and made my mother very angry."

"Flying... the pot?"

"Yes, there is probably something wrong with the magic connection, which caused the array effect to mutate and send the kitchen utensils to an unknown place."

George suddenly interjected:

"Thanks to my father's rich experience, he is standing in an absolutely safe place,"

Fred continued:

"Otherwise he would have to be teleported away, and he might end up in the food bowl of a giant dragon!"

Percy was furious: "Did any of you arrange your own father like this?"

Gemini lip-syncing:

"Go to the Ministry of Magic and sue us!"

Percy rolled his eyes and stopped talking to the twins - he had had enough of this during this Christmas holiday.

This is why Bill's grades are so good, but Percy never gets along with him.

Errol did not participate in the conversation. She only had food in her eyes.

But after taking two bites, she remembered Snape's words - if she continued to eat like this, she wouldn't survive more than half a year.

After all, it was a human soul. Errol stopped eating abruptly. She jumped off the long table and almost sat on the ground with a thud.

Flapping her wings, Errol maintained her balance and walked towards the common room without saying a word.

Poor owl, it turned into a free-range chicken.

"Ello, have you eaten?"

Ginny called to Errol.

"Boom!"

【I've eaten. 】

"Why do you only eat such a small amount? You don't eat like this at home. Is it not to your taste or are you feeling unwell?"

[No, I want to lose weight. 】

……

In order to survive, Errol is serious about losing weight.

Breakfast: two small dried fish.

Lunch: half portion of special owl meat puree.

Dinner: a small half steak + grass that Errol didn’t recognize.

In addition to keeping her mouth shut, her nighttime routine also changed.

Wearing an AD badge, she jumped from the outer wall of the eighth floor, gliding, flapping her wings from time to time to maintain altitude, until she could no longer fly and landed on the ground.

She hummed as she climbed up to the eighth floor, repeating the cycle.

——The purpose of wearing the badge is that she is afraid that she will suddenly have physical problems, so she can notify Dumbledore in time to come to save her life.

And the one-hour owl wheel exercise every afternoon is even more important. The amount of exercise... is simply incredible!

Errol, who worked so hard, naturally reaped results.

A week later, although she had not returned to her original weight, at least she was no longer a meatball.

If she wanted to, she could always go to Hogsmeade to have a drink with Grandpa Aberforth.

But she didn't go. Snape's words were like a curse, lingering in her ears:

"You won't survive more than half a year."

Which person who can reach the top in a world is not self-disciplined?

Miss Owl can scare you to death if she exercises self-discipline.

On this day, Errol finished the special training given to her by Snape and flew to the auditorium.

At this time, most of the little wizards had already arrived in the auditorium, so the corridor was empty and not a single person could be seen.

"Cuckoo!"

"Boom!"

[Sir Mazerland, good afternoon! 】

Errol said hello to Sir Mazeran in the portrait at the corner.

"Ello, please stay."

Errol was stopped by Jazz, flapped her wings, and hovered in the air with difficulty.

She looked at Sir Mazerland, and saw that Mr. Sir Mazerin, who was dressed very formally but gave off a fancy feeling in the painting, frowned at her, crossed his hands into an "X", and then pointed to the corridor in front of him.

Errol understood it well - after Dumbledore arranged for house elves to patrol the castle and Snape's inexplicable warning, she made her portrait friends in the castle move -

House elves are very loyal, but they are living creatures after all. As living creatures, they have the possibility of being noticed by others, and once they are noticed by others, the so-called "secret surveillance" is no longer valid.

But the portraits are not. The portraits scattered throughout the castle are actually the best eyeliners.

It wasn't that Dumbledore didn't think of letting the portrait monitor him, but if anything was discovered about the portrait, they wouldn't be able to notify Dumbledore immediately - the portrait could indeed come to visit, but that would take time. Just let the portraits confirm that Dumbledore was there. A lot of time will be wasted in a profitable position.

Just like now, when Errol passed in front of Sir Mazerland, he stopped Errol.

——There is danger ahead.

This was the meaning of Sir Mazerland's action. This was the secret code agreed between Errol and the portraits.

[Sir Mazerland, please inform Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore. 】

With silent communication, Errol was not afraid of being picked up by the enemy ambushing ahead.

Miss Owl landed on the ground - although she has successfully lost weight now, she is currently more maneuverable running on the ground than in the air -

Thanks to Snape for the running practice.

Of course, Errol could choose to escape, but the mysteriousness of Dumbledore and Snape aroused her curiosity. If you look at it this way, Errol is indeed a pure Gryffindor.

One step, two steps,

One step, two steps...

"boom!"

The ceiling suddenly collapsed,

The free-range chicken lady nimbly dodged the falling rocks.

"Hiss..."

A familiar voice sounded, and Errol's eyes narrowed——

Basilisk!

No wonder Dumbledore ordered the entire castle to be under martial law, and no wonder Snape gave himself a subtle warning!

It turns out that the basilisk has escaped!

You Dumbledore, you can't even stand a basilisk!

Errol knew that her physical condition was very different from that on Halloween. If she wanted to escape by flying, she would almost have to lift herself to the most comfortable feeding area of the basilisk and send herself into the mouth of the basilisk. Because it's too slow.

Of course, she didn't plan to escape on her two hairy legs.

She is now very sure that the target of the basilisk—or rather the target of sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle—is herself!

The first attack was in Hogsmeade.

The second attack was at the castle gate.

Now comes the third attack.

Where are there so many coincidences?

You can't escape by running away, so why not show the majesty of the empress mother of the Ten Directions Continent!

One or two is no more than three, I want you to look good.

If the owl doesn't show off its power, do you think I'm a sick cat?

All the feathers on Errol's body stood up, her magic power surged, and she was ready to go hard!

I am such a cute bird!

No, raptor! !
