It stands to reason that the owl messenger that appears every morning at breakfast time has become the most common sight for Hogwarts students during breakfast. The students have long been accustomed to drinking porridge while waiting for the arrival of mail.
Owl messengers from all over the place will follow the sunshine and fly into the auditorium through the curved windows on the dome of the castle foyer. They will fly around the dining tables of the four colleges until they find their respective owners and drop letters or packages.
in their arms.
Even when there are no letters, the little owls as pets will sometimes fly in, squeeze in next to the little master's seat, rub themselves affectionately, beg for a small bite of bread, and then flutter their wings back to the owl shed and the campus.
of other owls sleeping together.
However, when hundreds of owls turn into thousands, everything turns into a nightmare disaster.
With the sharp and noisy hoot of owls and the flapping of thousands of pairs of wings, owls from all over the country and even the world were circling and colliding over the auditorium.
Immediately afterwards, after delivering the letters, the owls that had been circling in the Scottish Highlands all night flapped their wings and rushed to the dining tables of various colleges, scrambling to grab the food and water on the long tables.
Amidst the exclamations and curses of countless students, a light rain seemed to fall in the auditorium. The owls did not care about any hygiene etiquette. Along with the overwhelming owls, there were also balls of feces falling from the sky from time to time.
Outside the auditorium door, there was a dense torrent of owls flapping up and down, trying hard to squeeze into the auditorium.
"Crazy, all crazy!"
"Close the auditorium door quickly!"
Before they could sit down, Marcus and Cedric looked at each other, and saw a hint of panic in each other's eyes.
Just after a fierce confrontation with magic spells, the reaction speed of the two people has not completely slowed down.
The next moment, Marcus and Cedric jumped up in unison, rushed towards the door, closed the auditorium door with force, and held on tightly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as the two closed the door, a series of violent collisions rang out from outside. At least dozens of reckless owls slammed into the main door of the Hogwarts auditorium, causing the huge bronze door to tremble slightly.
.
Cedric Diggory took out the wand from the wizard's robe, flexibly shook his left hand in the air, pressed against the door and read loudly, "[Quickly block Obsidio mora]!"
"[Quickly block Obsidio mora]!"
Marcus Flint, who was standing next to Cedric, also drew out his wand and released the blocking spell.
Click, the door is locked.
Two rays of magical luster flashed across the outline of the bronze door, as if a film had been coated on the surface of the door.
In this way, no matter how powerful the impact outside the door is, as long as there is no magic to break the curse, the power of the owls alone will not be able to break through the door for the time being.
"Oh my God, what happened." Marcus Flint grinned and moved his shoulders. He felt that after returning to Hogwarts after a summer vacation, everything seemed to be strange.
stand up.
"I don't know either, but obviously we can't let them rush into the auditorium again."
Cedric shook his head blankly, raised his head and looked over the auditorium, muttering, "You know, even so, the auditorium is already chaotic enough."
Snap.
Snapped.
A brown barn owl flew towards Cedric and dropped an envelope on his lap. At the same time, a gray wood owl also dropped an envelope on Marcus's arms.
"Why is there a letter from home?"
Cedric touched the barn owl on his shoulder affectionately and frowned in confusion, "I shouldn't have left anything at home—"
"Oh, hell -" Cedric picked up the letter on the ground and read it. A page of newspaper slipped out from behind the letter paper. "Is the Ministry of Magic crazy? It wants to further reduce the daily expenses of Hogwarts School.
, and lower the salaries of most employees, and then use gold galleons to buy Hogwarts back?"
"For the sake of political achievements, it is normal, but it only involves the loss of some insignificant members and the interests of the students. Cornelius Fudge may become the first Minister of Magic to own Hogwarts in history. Why doesn't he do it?
."
Marcus Flint shook off the letter and sneered, "In order to achieve this goal, it is really ugly to leave the behind-the-scenes mastermind to someone who has disappeared for ten years. The presence of the Dark Lord will not make the gold...
Galleons are exchanged for some despicable Muggle currency."
"Dark Lord?" Cedric frowned and was about to say something.
At this time, Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a dark purple wizard robe, walked quickly from the staff seat, glanced at the auditorium door that was temporarily sealed by a spell, raised his wand and walked to the door, knocked again and turned around
body.
"Oh my gosh, I guess at least a third of all the owls in Britain are here."
Professor McGonagall paused, glanced at the two people with stern expressions, and softened her lips that had been pressed tightly since this morning, "I hope you two can better reflect your reaction speed in the future."
On Wonder, not Brawl. Well, nice spell. You've each earned five points for your respective houses. Now, go back to your long tables."
As Professor McGonagall's voice fell, a crisp sound came from the Hufflepuff and Slytherin house hourglass next to the entrance hall, and five diamonds and five emeralds clattered to the bottom of the hourglass.
"Thank you Professor McGonagall."
"Wow, okay, we'll go back right now."
Marcus Flint and Cedric Diggory, who were still a little nervous at first, looked at each other in surprise, nodded hurriedly, and hurried back to their respective dean desks, planning to talk to their classmates.
Share the joy.
However, when they returned to the long table, they discovered that most of the students had no time to pay attention to the changes in house scores, and even Dumbledore's unannounced decision on punishment for the gang fight between the two houses was temporarily unavailable.
So important.
Almost every child in a wizarding family has received an envelope from home, and everyone is asking their children about the current situation of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
A large amount of information extracted or edited from various newspapers and magazines was passed among the students. Various weekly magazines, newspapers, and briefings were piled up on the long tables of every college.
The great turmoil outside Hogwarts that swept the entire magical world finally gradually revealed its fangs and sharp edges after fermenting for a day. For the first time, the carefree students felt that they were in a whirlpool.
In the center, there is the existence called pressure, and the trouble of bird droppings falling on the body and on the dinner plate from time to time.
However, in this chaotic environment, two pure land-like areas stand out.
One was where Dumbledore was sitting at the faculty desk. Countless owls lined up as if they had been trained, and neatly dropped envelopes one by one behind the old man's chair. No owl dared to
It fell on the dining table where the teachers were sitting.
