"Well, well, well, Fish understands meow, please, Catherine."
Fish was standing opposite Hermione's owl at this time, listening to its narration with a serious face, nodding his head from time to time.
"What's the matter, Fish?"
Hermione asked curiously. This was the first time she encountered a situation where an owl sent a letter and it was returned. Whether the letter was delivered or not was secondary. Now she wanted to satisfy her thirst for knowledge.
"Catherine said that she couldn't find Rita's exact location, and she didn't know where Rita's home was, so she had to fly back after two laps outside."
While answering Hermione's questions, Fish fed Catherine nuts. The owl had been flying aimlessly outside for several days without much food.
"How could this be?" Hermione mumbled in surprise, shaking the cat's ears.
This matter is not within the scope of Miss Know-It-All's knowledge reserve. In the books she usually reads, there is not much introduction to the owl mail system at all, and Hermione herself doesn't take it seriously.
Now think about it
The fact that the owl can deliver the mail to every wizard is a very remarkable thing in itself.
Because wizards don't need to be like Muggles at all, write the address or something on it, they just need to tell the owl who the recipient is, no matter where the other party is, the owl can find them.
Therefore, it is reasonable that wizards have countermeasures, just like Hogwarts cannot be marked on the map, Rita Skeeter should have used a similar spell to prevent the owl from finding herself .
Hermione can probably guess the reason why Skeeter did this. As a paparazzi who offended many people with news reports, it is really normal for her to hide her whereabouts. It's not out of the question to give her a jinx or something if she gets the chance.
Moreover, Skeeter usually eavesdrops on various news in the form of a beetle. If an owl comes at this time and reveals her whereabouts, it will be a big trouble.
Even more unimaginable, what if an owl came and took Rita Skeeter in the beetle state as food?
Hermione scratched her head in distress. Although she guessed this, it didn't help at all to stop Skeeter from reporting on Hagrid. .
"Don't you know her address?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know," Maomao shook his head, "The owl that gave Fish the quill didn't live in the school, and flew away after delivering it, meow."
Hermione hesitated for a moment, and decided to think of a way to see if she could find out Rita Skeeter's address Although it would be tempting to replace Professor Hagrid, she still couldn't do it Ignore it.
Fortunately, Rita Skeeter seems to have prepared for this matter, probably to facilitate the acceptance of letters from readers, or to learn from other people where there is news worth reporting. She works for the "Daily Prophet" At the main office of the company, she left an address for receiving mail, and then Hermione asked Catherine to make another trip.
As for whether Rita Skeeter can finally see this letter before the news is released, it is not up to Hermione to decide. She has done everything she can. A kind of "if only Skeeter hadn't received it" expectation arose.
After all, to be honest, Hagrid¡¯s Care of Fantastic Beasts class, except for the first time, prepared a little more normally with Harry¡¯s help, and then he became more and more self-disciplined, especially this year, he was tossing about that class from beginning to end. Blast-tailed snails, the students have long complained about this.
As the holidays passed day by day, there were no reports about Hagrid. While Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a little bit regretful.
And Fish has long forgotten about this matter, and has a good time in Hogwarts with Hermione and Gabriel who often comes here every day.
Except for Fish and Hermione, due to the Yule Ball, Hogwarts also had a lot of couples, and the rose garden at the entrance of the castle, Dumbledore has not demolished it, and there will be couples from time to time Dating inside, the overall atmosphere of the school suddenly became ambiguous.
Of course, there are winners in pairs, and there are losers who are lonely, and Harry and Ron, the brothers and sisters, are among them.
Harry didn't need to say much, his mind was on Cho Chang, and after the first dance, Parvati ran away angrily because he snubbed his partner.
And Ron is no betterWhere to go, Padma was not very satisfied with Ron as a dance partner from the very beginning. She was not so much invited by Ron as to give her sister a face.
However, Ron still takes himself seriously as a dance partner, so the two of them got along pretty well, but it's a pity that Ron was accidentally affected by Fleur's spell at the ball, and the result was naturally Padma. He was also annoyed, and then Ron couldn't bear to apologize to her, so the two became strangers.
Of course, compared to Harry, Ron is not bad. He didn't have much affection for Padma at first, and he broke up when he broke up, but Harry was miserable. From time to time, he saw Cedric and Autumn Zhang held hands and walked in front of her intimately.
This caused Harry to basically stay in the dormitory during the holidays, or hide in the Room of Requirement to practice the bubble head spell and other spells that may be used in the game, and only come out to hang out when eating
Under such hard work, Harry not only mastered the Bubble Curse before school started, but also learned several spells applicable to underwater, which gave him a lot of confidence in the second item.
The other two warriors are also preparing for the second project. For example, Harry heard from Ron that Krum has jumped into the Black Lake to swim in such cold weather more than once, and Fleur, She also went into the water several times, and every time she entered the water, a group of boys were watching.
Under the actions of the two of them, basically everyone knew that the content of the second project was related to diving, and most of the locations were in the Black Lake.
After practicing the Bubble Curse, Harry naturally went into the water to try it a few times, but he was too embarrassed to practice it in front of other people. To be precise, he didn't want Qiu Zhang to see his poor paddling. , so at night, they put on the invisibility cloak and slipped out to try.
The result is not very optimistic, his swimming speed is really not very good, and the bubble head curse can only prevent him from drowning, so now Harry basically goes to the Black Lake to practice swimming every night, he He even caught a cold because of it, even so, Harry still didn't stop practicing
Because this can make Harry temporarily forget about Qiu Zhang, and he also imagines that if he performs well enough in the game, whether Qiu Zhang may empathize with him.
The only one who didn't take this matter to heart at all was Fisher
Going to swim in the water in such a cold weather, cats are not so stupid!
