Hogwarts pet owl

When Errol walked out of Gringotts, only Arthur was waiting at the door.

"Ello, you finally came out. Your mother was worried that you would get lost, so she asked me to stay and pick you up. But I think this is unnecessary. Our Elol is so awesome, there is no need to worry at all, don't you think?"

Errol's eyes narrowed, she just loved to hear compliments.

Although Arthur's father doesn't know how powerful he is, maybe the "Erole's power" he thinks is dozens of times different from the real "Ello's power", it doesn't stop Ello from being happy.

[Dad, let’s go find mom and the others quickly! 】

"OK,"

Arthur bent down and picked up Errol, hugging her with one hand and pressing her hand a little.

"You're going to school soon, you must pay attention to your health,"

Arthur touched the feathers on Errol's back,

"Don't forget to drink the nourishing potion. Although Severus Snape is not a good person, the potion he brews is the most effective!"

[I know, Dad. 】

Finding the Weasley cub is easy;

The busiest and most chaotic place must be their home.

This is summed up from the experience of countless back-to-school purchasing days in previous years.

The family arrived at the Leaky Cauldron in a lively manner.

Sirius's wanted poster was posted on the wall. His face was sloppy and he was making a fierce growling expression.

"Let's have lunch at the Leaky Cauldron,"

Molly said,

"It's probably too late to go home and do it now. The children are all growing and they won't be hungry."

Arthur felt confident. He hugged Errol and took the children to the long table in the bar.

"Ron!"

Hermione came from the pub patio,

"I didn't meet you just now!"

Ron nodded slightly,

"Hermione, it's normal not to meet us. You are probably reading in the bookstore, so naturally you won't notice us!"

Hermione shrugged and greeted Arthur and Molly.

"Hello, Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley!"

She looked at the other cubs,

"Hi Ginny, Percy, Fred, George!"

"Oh, and Errol!"

Hermione walked forward with a smile,

"Look, I bought a cute cat!"

Hermione held a flat-faced ginger cat in her arms.

Errol didn't see anything cute about this cat with its whole face twisted together.

"His name is Crookshanks. He has the blood of a catnive. He's so smart!"

[Well, yes, this kid is smart at first glance, the kind that can catch mice. 】

"Meow--"

Crookshanks suddenly yelled, broke out of Hermione's arms, and threw himself at Ron.

Ron was shocked, but Spot in his arms was even more shocked.

The mouse Scabbers twisted around and actually fell out of Ron's arms. After landing, he squeaked and ran off to nowhere.

But Crookshanks was a "smart cat" certified by the top student Hermione, and she rushed towards the kitchen of the Leaky Cauldron like the wind at her feet.

"Oh, Hermione! Your ugly cat scared Scabbers!"

Ron yelled and chased after him.

Hermione watched the mouse and the cat disappear behind the door, and shrugged.

"It's instinct for cats to catch mice, but Crookshanks is very smart. She knows that Scabbers is a pet, so she just wants to play with Scabbers. Well, that must be the case."

Errol: Well, whatever you say is what it is.

……

In the guest room on the second floor of the Leaky Cauldron.

After a great battle, Harry Potter and "The Book of Monsters" finally used shoes as bait to physically defeat this rebellious textbook——

This made him vaguely guess that the person who would use such weird teaching materials must not be Professor Kettleburn! The old professor doesn't take his own body seriously and will act recklessly when encountering problems. However, if the matter involves students, he is still relatively stable, at least he will not use such a living textbook that almost bites off his fingers.

Three hundred rounds of fighting with the Monster Book made Harry feel hungry, and he was about to go downstairs to get something to eat - because he lost control and blew up his uncle's sister into a balloon, Harry had to stay in the Leaky Cauldron in the last few days of the summer vacation. bar.

"Meow!"

As soon as he went out, Harry saw a cat whose face looked like it had been knocked flat by something, chasing a big mouse downstairs.

He shook his head. He probably missed his good brother Ron so much that he actually recognized the rat in the Leaky Cauldron as Scabbers.

"Hey! You stinky cat, stop here!"

Harry was stunned for a moment, he wasn't sure if it was Ron's voice.

"Hermione Granger! Take care of your cat!"

Harry was overjoyed. He quickly walked a few steps downstairs and saw the Weasley family and Hermione.

"Ron! Hermione!"

It is always happy to get together with friends, but Arthur Weasley still took Harry aside from his friends:

"Harry, you are in danger now."

……

Yes, in people's eyes, Harry Potter is dangerous.

Sirius Black escaped from prison because of You-Know-Who's loyal following.

The Ministry of Magic has enough evidence to prove that Sirius' target is Harry Potter!

He's going to kill Harry Potter!

It’s not surprising that people would think this way, because the murderer who actually killed everyone on the street was currently being chased around the bar by an ugly cat.

……

……

The fourth annual Hogwarts torture day.

Ginny was in the same carriage with her little sisters who shared the same dormitory.

Errol chose Ron's head.

Nothing else. After an eight-hour journey, a comfortable bird's nest is very necessary.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were chatting enthusiastically in a box, but Ron was still worried about Crookshanks in Hermione's arms.

He doesn't need to protect the mouse Scabbers now, because the moment he entered this private room, Scabbers got into Ron's clothes and is still trembling even now.

Ron was reassured, the ugly cat wouldn't take off his clothes to catch Scabbers, right?

There was another person in the box.

This is obviously no little wizard.

The adult wizard was wearing a shabby but clean wizard robe and was sleeping by the window with his arms folded.

A few minutes ago, Hermione had accurately concluded through reasoning that this was their new professor, Remus Lupin.

Professor Luping was sleeping soundly, and the four little ones didn't even think of waking him up.

Except for Errol, the other three were discussing Sirius Black.

This kind of discussion is meaningless and will only continue to amplify the fear in Harry's heart.

until--

The train was forced to stop,

Cold air filled the car.

The jailer of Azkaban, the Dementor who made wizards tremble upon hearing it, has arrived.

Frost flowers appeared on the car windows, and white air puffed out from the children's mouths.

It's obviously the end of summer, but it feels like winter.

The withered and slender, yet rotten hand opened the door of the box, and a slender figure hidden under a cloak, whose face could not be seen clearly, floated in.

Banban screamed, he was really frightened.

Errol felt her bird's nest shaking slightly, so she opened her eyes.

At this time, the dementors were approaching Harry, and Harry felt that his happiness was being sucked away by the things in front of him, and his ears even heard the screams from his mother that had appeared countless times in his dreams.

Errol stared at the Dementor. She felt that the Dementor, which feeds on emotions and souls, must have a strong sense of the soul.

Using his own soul power to overwhelm the wizarding world, he might be able to make the dementors retreat.

It did have an effect. The dementor stopped moving and tilted his head to look at Errol.

At this moment, Remus Lupine, who had been sleeping, suddenly stood up. He pointed his wand at the dementors, and a strong silver light shot out from the tip of his wand, forcing the dementors back!

Patronus Charm!

Errol witnessed all this and nodded secretly——

New spell GET!

If the original plot is followed, the incident of the Dementors' attack on the Hogwarts Express would have ended here, and the next step would be the plot of everyone waking up Harry, and Lupine giving Harry a piece of chocolate to ease his mood.

However, what happened was counterproductive. The Dementors who were searching for Sirius on the entire train suddenly came towards Errol's carriage.

Dementor: There's a big blob of food here! Sweet and delicious! Come quickly!
