Salted Fish Professor at Hogwarts

Returning to the Gringotts lobby, I didn't stay too long in Gringotts. I left Gringotts and went straight to the destination of my trip.

Ila Owl Store sells various varieties of owls. These owls are not sold to the outside world, but are used as animal shelters. As long as you pay a certain amount of money, you can adopt an owl from here. My own owl or companion.

For some reason, tamed owls seemed to have an innate ability to deliver messages. Regulus always felt that the owls here and the owls in the ordinary world were two different creatures.

The owl here seems to have magic power in its body, just like the difference between a wizard and an ordinary person.

Approaching the Owl Shop, I saw that the shop was not too busy. Perhaps the busiest time here is before Hogwarts starts school!

It's not every day that wizards come here to buy owls. The average lifespan of owls in the magical world is between 35 and 55 years, which is related to the conditions for wizards to tame them.The life span of ordinary owls is only 3-11 years, so a wizard can use one owl for almost half his life.

Stepping into the Owl Store, the store owner saw someone coming in and immediately walked towards him. However, after seeing the person's appearance clearly, he stopped and thought for less than five seconds before continuing to walk towards him. Come.

"Welcome Mr. Regulus, I wonder what the purpose of this visit is~" In fact, the store owner was beating a drum in his heart at this moment. The store opened by the store is owned by the Black family, and the rent has not increased in ten years. He thought Regulus came here to discuss the rent increase, so he was a little nervous.

"Oh, let me take a look. I just came back from outside and there is no messenger to deliver the message yet, so I came to you to adopt an owl!"

Upon hearing his purpose, the store owner was obviously relieved, and then became enthusiastic. The rent did not need to increase, and his mood improved.

"It turns out that Mr. Black wants to adopt an owl. Come with me and I'll show you the owl that was just tamed in our store."

The enthusiastic store owner took him to a row of owls in cages. There were many varieties of owls in the cages, including almost every species in the world. Some were big, some were small, some were cute, and some were majestic. fierce.

"Look at this one. It's a long-tailed wood owl, a medium-to-large raptor with a round head and a graceful body. It comes from Bulgaria and is a good helper for delivering letters!"

"This is just a Flower-headed Owl, a small raptor. It's very cute. It comes from Italy. If the journey is not far, you can choose this one. The delivery range is no problem in Europe."

"This one~"

The boss was chattering on and on, a little too enthusiastically. Before he could finish speaking, Regulus interrupted him.

“I think I know what I need in an owl, why don’t you just hear me out first?

I need the largest owl. If you have one here, you can introduce it to me, otherwise I will go to the Magic Zoo to see if there is the species I need! "

After hearing this, the boss led him towards the innermost part of the store, where there were two separate owl cages. Only one cage had an owl in it at the moment.

The owl in the cage was very special. There were two eyebrow-like feathers sticking out above the eyes. The feathers were particularly rich. The whole body was light brown and almost white, mixed with fine brown spots. He noticed it at a glance. Owl.

"Mr. Black, this is an eagle owl from Albania. It is a male. It is the largest owl in the world. It is a nocturnal bird of prey with extremely keen hearing. This eagle owl is only one and a half years old. It was just delivered to me, but it His temper is a bit grumpy!”

"That's it, I want it. How much does it cost to adopt it?"

Before he could finish introducing the owl's shortcomings, Regulus interrupted him again and made his point clear.

"Uh." The boss didn't know how to answer at once. Although this species of owl is not rare, there are not many eagle owls in the wizarding world. This is entirely because his temper is too bad, but the price of domesticated owls is very high. expensive.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Regulus's face and quoted the price in a questioning manner.

"150 Galleons?"

"Okay!" He didn't counter-offer at all. Although the price was not cheap, there was obviously no increase in the price offered by the boss.

Then he counted out 150 Galleons in the money bag and floated it towards the counter. Then without looking back, he picked up the Eagle Owl's cage and walked out of the store.

The store owner had never seen such a customer before, and he didn't react for a moment, nor did he look at the galleons placed on the counter. He quickly took a few bags of things from the side and chased after them.

"Mr. Black, wait, these owl food are given to you to celebrate your return to the wizarding world!"

Regulus nodded, and the owl food sent by the boss was released from his hands and floated behind him without stopping at all.

"For the sake of giving me owl food, the rent won't go up!" When he was about to walk out of the store, his words fell into the ears of the store owner, who was very happy.

After leaving the owl shop, he released the eagle owl from the cage, cast an iron armor spell on his arm, let it stand on his arm, and observed the eagle owl carefully.

"Looking at your heroic appearance and those long ear hairs, what should I call you? I thought the long eyebrows were your eyebrows. I wanted to call you White Eyebrow Hero, but those are your ears. hair.

Otherwise, you should be called the killer. You are the killer in the eyes of many animals. Guila (gui la/kneel la), this is your name! "

He gave his owl a name, Quella, which means killer (quella) in English. Then he stood on the street of Diagon Alley and handed the letter he had written before to Quella from his pocket.

"Guila, send me a letter. The address is Hogwarts in the Scottish Highlands. The recipient is Minerva McGonagall. I'm waiting for you to come back at home. I believe you will be able to find me when you come back. I’ll treat you to something delicious!”

Just after he finished speaking, the owl did not pick up the letter, but pecked him on the arm, and then picked up the letter and took off from his arm.

Looking at Guila disappearing from his sight, he looked back. Standing in Diagon Alley, he suddenly felt that he shouldn't go home like this, probably because the business was done.

Holding the staff in one hand, he lowered his head and looked at his clothes. Suddenly he felt that it was time to buy himself some more mature clothes. He couldn't always wear clothes that looked like Hogwarts school uniforms, right?

Thinking of this, he started looking for it in Diagon Alley. He remembered that there was a high-end clothing store back then.
