A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 43 Melete (please read it later)

After returning to the dormitory, Owen fed the kitten some milk and then went to bed to rest.

While he was falling into a deep sleep, he felt a tightness in his chest. In his dream, a basketball kept bouncing on his chest. He couldn't catch it, and it kept making strange noises.

Owen opened his eyes with difficulty, feeling that he had just fallen asleep. The kitten Nizi he brought back was jumping around in front of him, sometimes stroking his cheeks with his paws, and biting his chin with his deciduous teeth.

"What are you doing?" Owen rubbed his eyes, opened the curtains of the four-poster bed and looked outside. It was hard to distinguish between day and night under the black lake, but the other three beds were empty, and it seemed that it was already dawn.

The feeling of hunger in his belly also reminded him that it should be three o'clock in the morning by now.

The kitten Nizi anxiously bit Owen's finger and frantically signaled him to get out of bed. Then, it jumped off the bed first, meowing and spinning back and forth.

"What happened?" Owen liked cats, so he naturally knew that this sign was not hunger. He quickly got dressed and followed the stumbling figure of the kitten Nizi out of the dormitory.

"Good morning, Owen, you came back very late last night." Harry was thinking about his Potions homework in the lounge and raised his head to say hello.

"What, you really found that fax machine?" Draco looked over with gray eyes.

"No." Owen's face darkened.

They quickly passed through the high ground where the unicorn was injured. The heavy rain had washed away all traces of the place. After walking for a while, Yaya suddenly whined at the bushes in front of him.

"Oh, it's you, Owen." Hagrid looked at him with a headache, "Didn't I tell you not to go into the Forbidden Forest casually? Especially since a unicorn was injured last night, I'm afraid the Forbidden Forest might

Something terrible has come in..."

"It seems that it followed me last night and hoped that I could take it forward?" Owen touched the head of the cat, "It's just that we encountered Quirrell on the way, and it and I were taken away.

.This little guy was really frightened and fell asleep directly after drinking milk..."

The rain has stopped, and the grass field is a little muddy, with crystal water droplets on the dark green grass blades. The Forbidden Forest in the distance is shrouded in mist, the jungle is glowing with a deep indigo color, and the sky is clear and blue.

"Huh? The unicorn was injured in front last night." Hagrid frowned and glanced worriedly at the little guy in Owen's arms.

"Hey! What are you doing? Stay away from the Forbidden Forest!" Just as Owen was about to walk into the jungle, Hagrid's loud voice came from a distance. He turned around and saw a huge figure stalking after him.

come over.

"Meow--" Kitty Nizi raised his head and meowed softly, with a look of human sadness and pleading in his round golden pupils.

Owen responded while paying attention to the road under his feet. He felt more and more familiar, and it seemed to be consistent with the direction he was heading last night.

Daphne glared at him, her cheeks bulging slightly, then she smiled at Owen and said, "I know you have always liked cats, but now you are finally willing to keep a cat?"

"Huh?" Harry raised his head alertly. Due to the recent issue of sorting into different hospitals, he was suffering from persecution paranoia and always felt that the danger was directed at him.

"I didn't expect your chess skills to be so good. I underestimated you, Daphne." Draco said solemnly, never admitting that he was a bad chess player. "I'm going to be serious, Pansy, listen to me."

Yes, I will definitely win next time!”

"They haven't been weaned yet, and they can't live independently yet. We need to take care of them for a while." Hagrid's loud voice echoed far through the forest.

Catnives led Owen across the field, aiming directly at the Forbidden Forest.

Soon, he came back, with Professor McGonagall beside him.

"This is a catnive, and he has no knowledge." Blaise glanced at him and said mercilessly.

"Ahem, no problem. Hagrid, and Mr. Shafiq, just leave them to me." Seeing Owen staring at him with a strange expression, Professor McGonagall coughed lightly, and his expression became meticulous again.

"You've said this three times." Daphne breathed out, looked at Owen and said, "Owen, do you want to come over and play chess? Huh? Do you have a cat?" She looked at the man who was pulling with her baby teeth with bright eyes.

The little cat wearing Owen's clothes.

The two returned to Hagrid's hut and placed the seven kittens in Hagrid's temporary nest, letting them get close to the boiler to keep warm. The soft cries of the kittens made Owen's heart melt.

.

Owen's lips trembled. He wanted to say, "It's okay to take the cat away, but you have to turn into a cat and let me pet it first... Well, he didn't dare to say it for fear of being beaten to death."

After throwing a piece of fire paper at Fang Ya with lightning speed, the frightened big dog took the lead and got into the jungle. Owen and Hagrid also followed in, following the guidance of the cat.

With.

"Oh, okay." Hagrid wiped his forehead. He was not very good at taking care of such a fragile little guy, although as a magical animal, the cat nives are definitely not fragile to ordinary people. If it is to take care of rough skinned animals,

Thick snails and other animals are what he is good at.

"Eh? She wants to follow you." Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows, "They don't admit to others easily."

What a Dark Lord, what a Sorcerer's Stone, nothing more important than a cat!

"I heard that cats can sense danger and good and evil. Is there any suspiciously dangerous guy here?" Daphne joked.

"That's it." Owen sighed softly and stroked the heads of the kittens one by one.

He said goodbye to everyone, walked out of the lounge with the kitten Nizi in his arms, followed its guidance all the way to the first floor, and left the castle.

"Okay, I'll find someone who is good at it." Hagrid walked out in a hurry, forgetting to say hello to Owen.

"Ha, I said you couldn't find it." Draco held the back of his head and leaned lazily in the armchair, watching Pansy and Daphne play wizard chess, gesticulating in a drawl.

"You're thinking too much." Owen spread his hands to Harry. He knew exactly what this guy was thinking, and he could only say that all Harry's thoughts were written on his face.

"I can't take care of you." Owen shook his head reluctantly.

Seeing Owen taking good care of the little ones, Hagrid hesitated and said: "How about you..."

In addition, Hagrid asked about Harry the most. He was always worried that Harry would be bullied in Slytherin.

Pansy nodded with a smile, took back her chess piece, and started the next game of chess with great interest.

"I'll do it," Owen said.

Owen clearly saw that when Professor McGonagall saw the group of cute little guys, a bright light flashed in her usually serious and calm eyes. Well, it felt like a cat saw delicious food or teasing the cat.

Great.

"How about we go together?" Owen pointed to the inside of the Forbidden Forest with a smile, "I found it."

"It's this little guy who wants to take me there." Owen held up the kitten Nizi in his arms and said with a smile, "I think he got separated from his mother and I bumped into him."

"Good morning, Hagrid." Owen waved to him.

Hagrid poured a large basin of milk for the kittens and nuggets, and wanted to take them out of the nest to drink milk. However, he accidentally squeezed one of the kittens until it meowed, and he almost dropped it in his haste.

On the ground.

"Good morning, Owen. Oh, Pansy, don't listen to Draco's random instructions anymore, you have lost four games in a row!" Daphne said helplessly.

"Nives, there are about a dozen of them in the Forbidden Forest, but they all live alone, so it's hard to meet them." Hagrid carefully stretched out a thick finger and tapped the little guy's head.

He couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes. The little cat tilted his head and looked at him. He was not frightened by the other person's rough appearance, but gave him a friendly bark.

The little kitten struggled to jump out of Owen's arms and ran towards the bushes in front of him. His soft cry became long and sharp, like a baby's cry.

"We just met by chance." Owen looked at the anxious little guy on the ground, meowing, and said with a smile, "It has been very anxious, so I followed it out to see what was going on."

There were actually six kittens hiding inside. It seemed that they had been soaked in the rain all night, and their screams were a little weak. A female cat the size of a normal house cat was lying lifelessly in the bushes, and several kittens.

The cats huddled around it.

The two buried the body of the female cat and looked at each other for a while. Finally, one person walked back holding a few kittens.

Professor McGonagall waved her wand, and several nives and their nests were suspended beside her. At this time, the little nugs who had been following Owen all night struggled to jump down, taking elegant cat steps.

Walk towards Owen.

As he walked deeper, Hagrid earnestly warned Owen not to enter the Forbidden Forest recently: "Last night, the centaurs informed me that there were red sparks in the Forbidden Forest. I was afraid that someone was in danger inside, so I searched the whole forest.

Late at night. A unicorn was injured. Although it was not serious, the thing that would attack the unicorn was definitely an evil creature... I saw a shadow from a distance, and it seemed that the thing could fly..."

Soon there were echoes one after another in the bushes, and several small heads of different colors poked out from the branches and leaves one after another.

Finally, Owen found that they had arrived at the place where he met Kitten Nizi, and they were still heading in the direction last night, almost to the place where he met Quirrell.

"But this little guy can lead us to find its mother. They are very good at finding paths and finding things." Hagrid glanced at Owen and said in a negotiating tone, "How about you give it to me?

"

"Are you going to find your mother?" Owen looked at the unweaned kitten Nizi and touched its head and its surprisingly big ears.

"Okay, stay with me and don't run around." Hagrid pulled out a huge red umbrella from his back and held it in his hand, then blew a loud whistle. His big dog teeth rushed from the side of his wooden house.

He came over, circled around Hagrid, and almost knocked Owen down.

"Oh, poor guy, it's dead." Hagrid's eyes turned red. He picked up the female cat's body and examined it, and found a deep wound on its neck. "I don't think this is the case.

It was an accident, but man-made, maybe it was the thing last night... these little guys came here from their nest in the rain."

After the heavy rain, the animals in the Forbidden Forest left their nests one after another. Birdsongs could be heard in the forest, and a few giant spiders occasionally crawled on the ground. Owen even saw two hippogriffs leisurely walking

Take a walk. With Hagrid and Fang around, all the magical animals didn't show any aggression and it was very peaceful along the way.

"Really?" Owen also glanced at the little guy in surprise and whispered to it: "What, you haven't been frightened enough this night? Do you want to continue to find some excitement?"

Little Kitty Tanuki raised her head proudly, turned around and pointed her butt at him.

"She can understand you. As long as you treat her sincerely, she will become an amazing partner." Professor McGonagall looked at Owen sharply, seriously assessing whether he could become a qualified owner. After a long time

, she reluctantly nodded her head with satisfaction.

"Well, it's a great honor." Owen smiled brightly and picked up the little kitten, "Then you'll call Melete."
