Hogwarts pet owl

Chapter 6 The Owl Making the Potion

After leaving the infirmary, Errol flew towards the auditorium with all her strength.

Ginny was still in the Great Hall, because Errol set the location coordinates of the owl talent on Ginny Weasley, and that direction was the direction of the Great Hall.

It had been some time since lunch started, and Ginny was probably still there waiting for her.

Sure enough, when Elle arrived at the auditorium, the professors had already finished their meal and left, leaving only a handful of little wizards still eating desserts and chatting.

"Erol!"

Ginny waved and pointed to the fish, chips and fried pasta on the table.

"If you don't come, I'll have to pack it for you!"

Errol landed on the dining table, staggered, and almost knocked over the plate again.

"Boom!"

[Ginny, how do you know I'm okay? 】

Ginny laughed;

"Because you were transformed back to your original shape by Professor McGonagall on the spot, and both Luna and I went to the infirmary to see you. Madam Pomfrey said that you were just in a coma caused by a magic disorder, which is the mildest symptom of the failure of the transfiguration. ."

"Boom!"

[Okay, let me eat quickly. After eating, we have to get ready, and then go to the afternoon class - by the way, what class is it in the afternoon? 】

Looking at Errol devouring French fries, Ginny replied:

"It's Professor Snape's Potions class."

Errol was startled, then picked up a small fried fish.

"Boom!"

[I heard that Professor Snape is very targeting us, Gryffindor? 】

This is the only good thing about the overhead dialog box. You can chat while eating.

Ginny nodded upon hearing this,

"I heard this is the case - Errol, eat slowly!"

Ginny wiped the meat sauce off Errol's beak.

"Listen to Ron, Professor Snape is simply a devil. He and Harry were targeted to death by Snape in the last school year. The points deducted by Snape were enough for Gryffindor. Bah, bah, it's Gryffindor." That's enough for Gryffindor to win the House Cup."

"Boom!"

[Then we have to be careful and don't let him take advantage of us and deduct points. 】

"Yes, it is."

I have to say that Ginny's receptive ability is really strong. In just one morning, she and Errol chatted back and forth, as if they were real sisters.

……

……

"I don't expect you to understand the charm of potions..."

The lines for Severus Snape's first Potions lesson to new students appear to be fixed.

"...I can teach you how to increase your reputation, gain honor, and even fight death - but there must be one thing, that is, you must not be the fools I often encounter."

Snape glanced at Errol, who was resting on Ginny's shoulder, and raised the corners of his mouth contemptuously.

"Oh, look, we have a stupid freshman here. In the first transfiguration class, he overestimated his ability and wanted to transform into a human body. As a result, he was sent to the infirmary."

There was a chuckle from the Slytherin side, and Snape continued to spray venom.

"I see that Gryffindor House is becoming more and more useless. It is ridiculous to admit an owl into the house. Owl? Oh, Miss Aurora, does your brain weigh ten ounces?" (Human brain Weight (except for newborns, probably between thirty-five and fifty ounces)

His eyes drifted towards the ceiling. That direction was probably the direction of the principal's office. He was probably complaining that the principal was also an unreasonable Gryffindor.

"Hmph, I hope your Gryffindor this year won't cause a major accident in the first class like the last one!"

Errol resisted the urge to reply to Snape with a dialog box popping up above her head. She had agreed with Ginny to avoid Snape deducting points during this lesson.

"Ginny Weasley—! Are you going to make a potion with an owl? Find a partner!"

But where can we find any partners? The Slytherin side has an even number of people, and the Gryffindor side has an odd number except for Errol...

"Tsk,"

Snape obviously noticed this,

"Then you work as a team. Remember, don't let your stupid owl do anything bad! Cooking potions is a very precise job, and there is no room for mistakes!"

"I hope you don't become the second Weasley to enter the infirmary today like your stupid brother!"

After spitting out today's venom, Snape felt a little better.

The anger I received from Gilderoy Lockhart this noon has subsided a bit,

He walked back to the podium and said:

"Today we learn how to make a potion to treat scabies..."

Snape was indeed a master of potions. He gave detailed instructions on every aspect of brewing the potion while he was doing it.

In Errol's view, Snape's explanation incorporated his own experience and was more accurate and standardized than what was described in the textbook.

Under the gaze of her reality-analytic eyes, she understood the intention of Snape's every little move.

The more this happened, the more she admired Snape's potion skills - it was infinitely better than when she first arrived in Shifang Continent, making cold medicine for her daughter!

"alright,"

Snape waved away the pink smoke rising from the cauldron,

"In this way, a potion for treating scabies is ready. You can take a look. The potion that has been successfully brewed should be this blue..."

Snape put the potion in a glass bottle and showed it to the new students.

"Now, I have said everything I need to say,"

He tapped the steps written on the blackboard,

"If you can't even cook this successfully, then I'll wonder if your family's bloodline is mixed with brainless things like trolls."

"Okay, let's start cooking!"

Snape's aura scared Ginny to death - not only Ginny, but all the little wizards in Gryffindor were more or less affected.

Ginny murmured to herself: "Add water first, don't start the fire..."

Before she could take action, Errol had already quickly thrown the ground venomous snake fangs into the crucible filled with water.

It's just that her movements are a bit big - because she has no hands, she has to flap her wings to let herself float up, and then use her claws to grab the material,

As a result, Snape immediately noticed this side.

He walked quickly to Ginny and said angrily:

"Miss Weasley, I told you not to let your stupid owl touch the potion!"

Ginny was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it - at this time, she was not the flower of Gryffindor a few years later. The little girl who had just left her parents could not handle the criticism from a headmistress.

"Boom!"

A dialog box suddenly popped up in Errol's head:

[Professor Snape, first of all, I am a student, you should not discriminate against me; secondly, I make the potion strictly according to the process you requested. If my actions are stupid, then you are talking about your own professor. The method of boiling medicine is stupid! 】

Snape's chin began to tilt upward, and the wings of his nose gradually widened.

Clearly, he was angry.

Ginny looked at Errol worriedly;

However, Errol seemed to pay no attention to Snape and just stared at the cauldron intently.

If it weren't for the dialog box still hanging on the top of her head, Ginny almost thought she hadn't noticed Professor Snape at all.

- Heat to 250 degrees Fahrenheit for ten seconds.

"Boom!"

[Ginny, wave your wand! 】

Ginny glanced at Snape quietly, and then immediately followed Errol's instructions.

Snape's eyes narrowed.

This owl was somewhat beyond his expectations. It was actually better than most of the freshmen he had seen!

"Boom!"

[Okay, we need to boil it for half an hour, but we have to carefully observe the condition of the medicine at twenty minutes and then decide whether to extend the boiling time. 】

After Errol quarreled with Snape, she seemed to regard Snape as nothing and focused entirely on brewing the potion.

Because she didn't think Snape would deduct points from Gryffindor because an owl disrespected him - if he did that, what would the other three heads of house think of him? Getting serious with a poor little owl?

He probably couldn't afford to lose that face.

On the contrary, if Errol shows enough concentration and talent in potions, maybe the two of them will have an easier time in potions classes in the future.

Errol took out four horned slugs, held a knife in her mouth and cut them neatly.

"Owl! I don't remember teaching you to cut open a horned slug!"

Catching Errol's mistake, Snape immediately said with a smirk,

"You are wasting potion materials like this, so I order you not to touch it in the future..."

"Boom!"

[The active ingredient of horned slugs is their body fluids, which must be put in at the moment when the venomous snake fangs and nettles are fully integrated, becoming the catalyst for the entire potion - but it is too slow to put the whole thing in and boil it, which will cause part of the potion to simmer. The opportunity to participate in the drug reaction is missed before the body fluids are completely melted]

The dialog box area is limited, so there is no way to write too much at once.

Errol cleared the previous text and continued:

[But if the horned slug is cut open, its medicinal effect can be quickly integrated into the medicine. In this way, the final medicinal effect of the finished product should be about 20% higher. 】

Obviously, what Errol said was right.

Snape's pupils dilated rapidly. With his knowledge in potions, he could tell whether what Errol said was reasonable or not.

But he never expected that an owl would have such understanding!

As for the possibility that Owlette had learned to brew potions before?

Snape thought that was impossible.

Because the Weasley family is almost too poor to open the pot, let an owl practice brewing potions?

If Weasley did this, their family must be crazy!
