Hogwarts pet owl

Chapter 66 The Owl Who Got a House

"What? You want to deduct points from the girl?"

Aberforth banged the bar hard and glared at Principal Dumbledore.

"If you dare to deduct points from her, I will definitely use the Cruciatus Curse on you again if you come to my place again! Albus Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore shook his head and approached his brother.

"I didn't say I was going to take points off Errol, Aberforth. I thought we should have a chat."

"We have nothing to talk about!"

"It's about Aurelius."

Aberforth fell silent;

He picked up the bottle and filled it up for Errol again.

"My dear granddaughter, drink slowly. Your principal and I have something to discuss."

Errol looked at Albus, then at Aberforth, tilted her head,

"Boom!"

[You guys talk about your business, I’m very good, you don’t have to worry about me! 】

……

"Aberforth, Errol is very important, you know?"

"Aren't you going to talk about Aurelius? Why are you talking about a girl?"

"Only one person knows where Aurelius is."

"I know, Nagini. But that girl has completely turned into a snake!"

"Yes, but we now have hope of restoring Nagini to human form."

Aberforth paused in sharpening his kitchen knife.

The air seemed to condense in the small room.

After a long while, Aberforth asked:

"Is it because of Errol?"

"Yes, Errol decided to learn Animagus. If she can reverse the transformation into a human, then Nagini should be able to do the same."

"Erol is sane, but Nagini has lost human consciousness."

"Aberforth, in order to find Aurelius, I believe you wouldn't mind using the Imperius Curse on an 'animal'."

Aberforth stared into Albus's blue eyes,

"Sure enough, that's your style, you'll do whatever it takes to achieve your goal!"

Aberforth stabbed the kitchen knife firmly on the wooden pillar beside him.

"You and I both know Nagini! She is a kind child, even if she has turned into a snake now..."

"Don't you want to know where your own child is now? Even if he may have been a corpse long ago."

Aberforth took a deep breath, picked up the kitchen knife and continued to sharpen it.

"I tried asking the owl to deliver a letter to the child. The letter was cast with a tracking spell, but the owl couldn't locate the child at all."

Principal Dumbledore sighed,

"So the information Nagini has is even more important! No matter what you think, I absolutely must find Aurelius. After all, he is the only child in our family."

"As long as Errol can master the technique of turning animal Animagus into human form, then we can help Nagini return to human form.

So nothing can happen to Errol.

Aberforth, Errol is already eleven and almost twelve! She is an owl, and her life is coming to an end. If you continue to indulge her in alcoholism, she may not survive the time to learn the animagus. "

Aberforth stopped sharpening his knife.

The old man's face was full of struggle.

Finally he sighed,

"I know, I will advise Errol to drink less."

For the first time in half a century, the two brothers agreed on something.

The two walked out of the back room, only to see that Miss Owl was no longer on the bar.

A note was left on the table:

"Grandpa, I'm back to school. I'll find time to see you again in the future!"

——Even if the Dumbledores hid in the back room, even if Principal Dumbledore used the soundproofing spell, what are the ears of an owl?

Ears that can hear rats underground from hundreds of meters away!

She heard everything the brothers talked about!

Sure enough, Albus Dumbledore had a purpose in helping him.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't conflict with her plan anyway.

It seems that I won’t be able to drink at the Pig Head Bar anymore.

But it doesn't matter, she has plenty of money now.

A dark brown wine bottle holds a note with a message.

Strong wind poured into the lobby through the wide open windows, blowing the notes.

The dancing note attracted Aberforth's attention.

He looked at the table in a daze, because it was only then that he discovered that Errol's special wine glass was missing.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly.

……

Hogwarts finally looks like the "safest place" it can be.

Nothing weird happened until the final exam started.

Even Peeves rarely showed up, and the castle was peaceful.

In order to prepare for the final exam, all the little wizards have become busy, except for the carefree Miss Owl.

She really doesn't care about her grades!

No one would blame her if she failed in the exam - after all, she was just an owl;

So what if I do well in the exam? find a job? She was originally a retired owl. Could it be that the Ministry of Magic would set up an "Owl Communications Management Department" just for her?

Besides, as the leader of the "house elves around the world unite", she will have nothing to worry about in her life!

"Boss!"

Flabby appeared in front of Errol,

"The owner of the Pig Head Bar asked you to go to his place through Lulu."

[Did he say anything? 】

"It seems to be about the house."

Only then did Errol remember that she had indeed entrusted old Aberforth to help her find a house.

There are more and more house elves gathering in Hogwarts. If this continues, they will no longer be able to hide!

Because more and more little wizards have discovered the house elves in the castle - after all, the new little guys are inexperienced and are often discovered by the little wizards.

……

"Ello, you are finally here!"

Aberforth came up to him with a smile,

Errol naturally landed on his outstretched forearm,

"You haven't come to see grandpa for a month!"

"Boom!"

[Grandpa, it’s not that I don’t come to see you, it’s just that you are really busy with studies and we have final exams coming soon]

"Well, that's true, I didn't even expect that,"

The old man laughed and said,

"After all, it was almost a hundred years ago that I lived on campus, and I had long forgotten that there were exams!"

He didn't dwell on the problem and went straight out the door with Errol.

"Come on, good granddaughter, grandpa will take you to see your new house!"

After twists and turns, Aberforth carried Errol to a courtyard in the northwest of Hogsmeade village.

It is a private courtyard with flowers planted in the yard and a stream flowing through the door. People need to walk across a small wooden bridge to get here.

The house is entirely made of red bricks and has three floors. The square chimney tells people at a glance that there is a fireplace in the house.

"How about it, kid, do you like this house?"

[I like it, thank you grandpa. 】

Errol looked at this "dream love house" intently.

Although the house is not luxurious, it just feels like home.

[How much is the rent? I will ask Lulu to give you the money later! 】

Aberforth shook his head and took out a land deed from his pocket——

Here is the title deed to the house:

No. 146, Hogsmeade.

Owner: Errol Weasley.

"Child, this is a gift from grandpa, accept it!"

Errol was shocked. It would cost a lot of money to buy this house.
