A sharp Hogwarts

After leaving the principal's office, Dalia felt as relaxed as if she had lifted dozens of pounds of weight.

According to the agreement, Dumbledore was responsible for solving those troublesome problems, while she minimized her presence as much as possible.

Anyway, Lao Dengtou is very good at such things as behind-the-scenes operations. As long as Dalia keeps a low profile until the end of the year, the principal will naturally take care of the rest.

call……

low profile--

Dalia stood in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady and silently repeated it several times in her mind.

Professor Quirrell, Voldemort, Peter Pettigrew, Professor Snape... She especially wanted to reduce her sense of existence in the minds of these characters.

Maybe Professor Snape is not a villain, but being targeted by him is also very troublesome - fortunately, Harry is here to attract firepower. At least judging from the situation in the last Potions class, Harry is in this world. In Professor Nap's eyes, he is still "Potter's cub". Unless Harry wears a mask during class, it will be difficult to reverse the impression.

Of course, in addition to this, she also needs to be a little more restrained in her behavior in college and class, and try to facilitate Lao Deng's secret operations as much as possible.

The first step is to imitate Hermione in the Gryffindor House lounge and create an image of a cold nerd who is not allowed to enter.

"So are you still going in or not-"

The fat lady put her hands on her hips and looked at Dalia impatiently.

As the "concierge aunt" of Gryffindor, she naturally cannot leave her post without permission when there are students at the door.

However, Dumbledore allowed her to visit the surroundings temporarily if no one was around.

"Oooh—honeyeater—"

Dalia came back to her senses, spoke the password quickly, and waved behind her.

The huge picture frame swung open to one side, Dalia crawled in along the passage, and a "little piece of paper" slipped in with it.

The Gryffindor common room is particularly quiet on weekends. Most of the energetic Gryffindor wizards prefer to have fun in the castle corridors, Quidditch pitches, and forest clearings. There are only a few people in the huge semicircular room. Individuals - Ron and Harry were playing chess on the table by the window, and Percy was flipping through the pages on the sofa with a book in his hands.

Farther away, three or four senior Gryffindor girls were gathered around a warm fireplace, seemingly sharing something interesting.

call--

Good, Granger isn't here, the Weasley twins aren't here.

Dalia breathed a sigh of relief and quietly prepared to take a few books from the dormitory to the lounge to read.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Yeqi hadn't been trained yet, she would have even planned to spend the whole day in the library with Xiao Yeqi in her arms.

"Hey, Dalia! You're finally back—"

Just then, a surprised voice broke the silence of the common room.

Dalia turned her head and saw Ron waving his hands at her excitedly. Playing chess with a certain stinky chess piece obviously couldn't attract much of Ron's attention.

"Uh - hush - everyone is reading a book..."

Dalia smiled stiffly, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart.

Sure enough, before she could finish her words, Ron excitedly pointed at the hanging piece of paper behind her and said to Percy.

"Look, Percy - I'm not kidding, Daria's new pet is pretty amazing!"

"You know I can't see it either, but...well, it's somewhat interesting."

Percy said angrily, closed the book, stood up and walked over, staring at the small piece of paper that suddenly froze.

"Hmm, a... young night turtle?"

"Miss Dursley, may I touch it?"

After asking for Dalia's permission, Percy knelt down and carefully stretched out his hand.

At the same time, the senior girls by the fireplace obviously noticed the movement.

Following Ron's "hard-working" introduction, everyone came over and imitated Percy in gently touching the invisible little creature.

"The Thestral is a medium-sized magical animal. In less than a year at most, it will grow into a strong flying horse that is taller than you."

Percy glanced at Dalia and said seriously, "Besides, the Thestral is classified as XXX in the biological rating. You'd better ask Professor McGonagall first."

"I'm not deliberately trying to make things difficult for you, but the Hogwarts school regulations clearly stipulate that raising magical creatures above level XX in the castle must be approved by the dean of the college where they are located. When Ron first told me, I was a little worried - You’re still on probation, so it’s best not to be punished for this—”

"Percy! That's not what you just said! You obviously want to touch the Thestral!"

Ron said angrily. He originally thought Percy would turn a blind eye, but he didn't expect that this was Percy's so-called method.

"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore agreed -"

Dalia sighed helplessly, turned her head to look at the chattering Percy, and explained with a smile.

"Professor McGonagall just took me to the principal's office just for this purpose. Mr. Principal agreed that I would take care of it temporarily - until it grows up."

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Percy has always been a bit rigid and rule-abiding, but what Daliya saw was Percy's warm-heartedness behind the rigidity.

After she was secretly sorted, it was Percy Weasley who took the initiative to call on everyone to applaud and cheer to complete the welcoming ceremony for her.

"Oh, that's no problem."

Percy breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down again, and gently stroked the Thestral.

"By the way, what's its name? Did the professor tell me how to feed it? The book says that Thestrals usually eat meat and grass..."

"I haven't thought about it yet, I want to get something delicious."

Dalia shrugged and said, taking out a small piece of parchment from her arms.

"As for feeding, Mr. Hagrid gave me a list. It's goat's milk and barley during this period, right?"

"Name—um, how about Black Storm?"

Percy thought carefully for a few seconds before eagerly proposing to Dahlia.

"Newt Scamander wrote in the book that the adult Thestral was jet black and could outstrip all known broomsticks when flying at full speed."

"Uh--"

Dalia blinked her eyes and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Black Storm sounds okay in English, but when translated into Chinese, doesn’t it become Black Tornado?

"Adult Yeqi are black, but young Yeqi are not necessarily..."

At this time, a girl with dark skin and long braids retorted.

"I remember Professor Kettleburn said that the coat color and shape of juvenile Pegasus and adult Pegasus are different - for example, unicorn cubs are golden, and they will not turn into silver until they reach adulthood. You How do you know that Little Yeqi is black - besides, how can a girl’s pet be named Black Storm? It’s so ugly!”

"How about calling it... a lady? Dalia." The girl suggested enthusiastically while stroking the little Yeqi, "Is it a girl?"

"A unicorn is different from a thestral. A unicorn is not a Pegasus, Angelina. Also - it can grow to nearly two meters tall when it reaches adulthood."

Percy corrected seriously, raising his hand to sign above his head, "Have you ever seen a two-meter-tall lady?!"

"What do you think of the name Zhu Qiongwei?"

Ron also participated enthusiastically, looking at the piece of paper suspended in mid-air with some envy.

"I have been thinking about this name for a long time - it was originally prepared for my next pet. However, if you think it is good, Dalia, I can give it to you first."

"How's Diona?"

"That sounds like a cat's name, not as good as Dior to me."

"Do you have basic aesthetic ability? Forget it - why don't you get something edible?"

"Orange soda?"

"Harry, are you serious?"

As Percy, Harry and others opened up the topic, everyone in the common room gathered together and started discussing enthusiastically.
