Chapter 72 The closest Voldemort came to death (page 1)
Little Khan was furious!
It broke away from Hermione's arms, did a 360° somersault in the air, and then sat firmly into a plate of pumpkin pie on the table.
Licking my lips, it smells so good!
However, this is not important.
After taking two pieces of pie and stuffing it into the pocket on his stomach, it crawled out of the plate without being hindered by the petty gain.
It walked quickly to Bourne, pointed to the pet card that the little wizard had just placed on the table, clicked the two words "Little Khan" with its little paws, then pointed at itself, and then got angry. He looked at Bourne with his hands on his hips.
It seems to be saying: Why am I so young? Why did you give me such a bad name?
Bourne spread his hands, pointed at the other two pets who also got out of the rattan box with curiosity, and then said in a flattering manner: "But you are indeed much smaller than them? But it doesn't matter, I will call you 'Khan' from now on." 'Okay, I'll add a chicken drumstick to you later as compensation."
That's pretty much it!
Hearing what Bourne said, Khan retracted his bulging cheeks.
It's just a mixed-blood Sniff. Even if he's smart, he can still easily handle it with just a chicken leg.
No longer caring about this little guy, Bourne was ready to have a good exchange with the other two pets with more exciting names.
For example, rub their heads or something.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw a scene that made him feel a bit toothache - in the world of Harry Potter, the saying "names are magical" may not be said casually.
Ryan and Ruth looked at each other, as if they didn't like each other, one showed his claws, and the other showed his teeth.
Fortunately, Bourne has a quick wit.
He quickly picked up two sausages.
"The little flying stick is here..."
When your mouth is full of food, you won’t grin.
Looking at Ryan who was nibbling the food in small bites, and Ruth who was eating a whole sausage three times, and then taking a piece of haggis pudding by himself, his mouth was full of oil...Bourne knew immediately, Who should the label "easy to feed" belong to?
As more and more little wizards came to have breakfast, the news that Bourne had received three pets gradually spread.
Not only the little lion from Gryffindor, but also several students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw came over. Some wanted to meet the "eloquent" Khan, and some wanted to touch the tiger-headed Ryan. , and others simply want to see Ruth's vengeful work.
Although the students of Slytherin House would not take the initiative to go to the Gryffindor long table for the sake of face, Ruth, who felt that the Gryffindor long table could no longer satisfy him, soon began to sit in the banquet hall. Running around in all directions, spinning food everywhere——
Draco tried the feel of Ruth's gray mane with a piece of fried pork chop he had snatched from Goyle's plate.
He gave Bourne a thumbs up from afar.
Meaning: Your pets are really nice!
Bourne couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. The swallow-tailed dog's behavior was hard not to make him, the owner, feel embarrassed.
And just when he was so embarrassed that his toes almost dug out of the soles of his shoes, Ryan, who was still eating sausages elegantly and taking a sip of 91 pumpkin juice from time to time, suddenly sat upright on the long table. He turned and looked at the door of the banquet hall.
"Ouch!"
It doesn't even sound like a cat.
Following Ryan's gaze, Bourne saw a figure in a linen robe flashing past the door, as if he had just entered Hogwarts Castle through the door.
It's him.
Bourne scratched the soft flesh on the back of Ryan's neck. It felt good, and he also discovered whose label "smart" belonged to.
Originally, he thought that this label should belong to the "eloquent" Khan.
But now, looking at the little Khan who is constantly relying on others to talk and making many little witches, including Hermione, smile happily——
So, where does “loyalty” lie?
Bourne lightly shrugged his shoulders and said to the mixed-blood Sniff in his heart: "Khan, you have to work hard."
-
"Lord, Lord, Master, what was going on with that cry just now? After I heard it, why did I feel like someone had broken something?" Quirrell asked Voldemort in a low voice.
Under the latter's training, he has learned how to speak "quietly" in his mind, just to prevent his thoughts from disturbing his master.
However, no matter how cautious he was, he still received Voldemort's rebuke.
"Idiot! It's just a little wizard's little cat. You have to focus on your work!"
After Quirrell was scolded, let alone refute, he didn't even dare to breathe.
"Okay, okay, Master."
Early this morning, Quirrell went to Hagrid's hut under Voldemort's guidance, and stole a rooster under the Disguise Charm.
He used a shrinking spell to turn it into the size of a small chicken, put it in his pocket, and took it back to Hogwarts Castle.
You know, stealing is a crime.
The reason why he was targeted by Ryan was because the cat was naturally sensitive to criminal behavior and criminals.
However, it was Ryan who attracted Quirrell's attention that prevented him from noticing another pair of eyes staring at him.
Mr. Peeves has been staring at Quirrell for several days!
Since forming an alliance with Bourne, this poltergeist associated with Hogwarts Castle has transformed into a great detective and pursued the professor relentlessly.
Not only was this COS behavior interesting to this old ghost, but also because after he was woken up by the little wizard Bourne, he immediately suspected that he was being tricked by someone else.
Most of the magic that can confuse his thoughts cannot be performed by young wizards who are still in school. Only professors with powerful magic can have this ability.
Before this year, he had never encountered a similar situation. The other professors were all old people, and only Quirrell, who had returned to Hogwarts to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, was new.
Naturally, Quirrell is the first suspect. How could Peeves, who was always known for being petty, suffer a loss in vain?
It is said that "people who are angry are like seeking personal revenge", let alone old ghosts like Peeves.
Going back for revenge is a must.
For this reason, he changed from his usual cheerful state, and recently he has been staring at Quirrell. Even the thing he loved most in the past - playing tricks on those little wizards - has been temporarily put aside by Peeves. go.
"This guy must be weird!"
Because of his past experience, Peeves had remained invisible when following Quirrell these past few days.
"This guy has cast a powerful expulsion spell on the walls and doors of his office, so that spirits cannot pass through the walls. What serious professor would even guard against ghosts in Hogwarts?"
"Also, this guy ran out early in the morning. When he came back from outside the castle, he still had something in his pocket. He looked suspicious when he walked, like a chicken thief."
