Hogwarts: Atypical Slytherin

"Good day, Professor Lupin." Nodding to the figure, Miss Albert walked outside along the stairs leading up to the cellar.

"Good day, Clowney."

As rumored, Slytherin's well-known know-it-all lady had a good personal relationship with their headmaster.

At least from Lupin's point of view, it was hard for him to imagine that any student would feel uncomfortable running into Snape's presence without needing to consult him about his lessons.

Don't ask him how he knew why Miss Albert was not here to ask questions: her hands were empty.

Lupine glanced curiously at the portrait of Snake, which was still spinning in circles in the frame, and then knocked on the cellar door.

"Please be gentle!" Medusa said angrily, "Or why can't you let me go in and inform you?!"

"Ah, I'm so sorry." Lu Ping rubbed his nose sheepishly, but he didn't expect this portrait to be even more difficult to get along with than he thought, "I have a password."

"Then you can go in directly!" Medusa rolled her eyes very obviously, then lowered her head and started to play with her black lacquered nails, "Password."

"Moonstone," said Lupine, "I think it's a matter of politeness."

Medusa was choked. She looked him up and down, and then nodded: "I can't tell you are quite polite - but I can accept this statement."

She opened her left arm and made a gesture of invitation, and the little snake on her head responded with a hissing sound, and the door opened.

This daring professor actually dared to interfere with Professor Snape's application for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, and still went to the cellar with a straight face to visit the viper who always had a black face but sprayed venom.

Miss Albert praised her in her heart and silently prayed that the new professor, whose personality looked like a sheep, would not be swallowed by the snake king.

After returning to the dormitory, Miss Albert began to read the letter sent in the morning.

The letter said that a stray dog ​​also came to the farm.

Nini said it might be because the scraps left in the warehouse by the previous farmer attracted the swallow-tailed dogs that ate everything. She didn’t know where they strayed from, or whose dog gave birth to the pups. She took the photo Take a look at this magical photo of a dog.

The little animal in the photo is no different from an ordinary dog, but its body is pure white. The exposed teeth are very strong, and most importantly, there are no traces of small gloves - this indicates that the dog is at least six months old.

He looked very strong, but his tail had a very obvious crack, making it look like he had two tails.

"I wonder if I can keep him? Miss?" Nini asked using the newly developed signal machine that relies on magic power transmission, "It seems that you have received the letter?"

"Yes." Miss Albert hit her head on a slate-like lump.

"You have to let me think."

The process of raising a magical animal is much more troublesome than raising an ordinary dog. Of course, dogs also need to be registered and tested, and the owner needs to go to class with the dog, but it is still less dangerous than weird magical animals.

Swallow-tailed dogs are very aggressive towards Muggles - I don't know who came to this conclusion. But she hasn't really seen this kind of magical creature.

If you want to raise it - it's not impossible. But if the dog's natural body had to be amputated for human reasons, and it wasn't for functional reasons, she would be a bit repelled.

If it is just raised on a farm, it has nothing to do with the Muggle world.

Fortunately, this house elf was very patient. When Miss Albert replied to her: "Okay.", she immediately replied: ":)"

But when she mentioned this matter to Helles, the girl expressed a rare disagreement with her: "I think we can actually register it, Clooney?"

"What a rare thing -" Miss Albert said, "This is not something you would expect a Slytherin to say."

"I mean, there's something to be said for the registration of this dog."

Yes, take some stance. For example, as the most radical ring between Muggles and wizards today, it suddenly blends into the trend of wizards, which will always make some self-styled wizards feel the non-existent threat from "Muggles".

If even the most radical Muggle wizards could raise such animals "specifically for Muggles" openly, at least in their opinion it would be feasible.

"But I haven't seen it." Clooney shrugged and leaned on the blonde girl's shoulder. "I'm not sure if this is a good dog - swallow-tailed dogs don't eat living things, right?"

"I don't know..." Helles said, "Although some people keep these magical animals, many people are unwilling to take care of them and have no need..."

"But since it is said to be a dog, its habits cannot be traced anywhere."

Miss Albert thought of the horse-shaped Thestrals. Apart from eating meat, they were very similar to horses in personality and behavior.

"Then I will talk to the professors about this after some time." Cloney said, "Swallow-tailed dogs may need to apply as adult wizards - and we are not adults yet."

"That's true..." Helles said, "How about applying in my family's name?"

Applying in the name of the Helles family...

Miss Albert raised her eyes to look at the Slytherin girl. She smiled at her unconsciously, with tiny crystal blue dots spread over her eyeballs.

Various thoughts ran through my head several times. Miss Albert nodded due to other considerations.

"This is really a very, very good proposal, Helles." She said in a long tone, as if she had something to say, but she looked satisfied with this idea.

The swallow-tailed dog that wandered from nowhere finally stayed.

Nini never tired of sharing interesting stories about the dog, even going as far as to share the fact that the dog was constipated due to eating too many tires.

Magical animals do provide convenience to people from some aspects: whether it is garbage that is difficult to dispose of or food waste after meals, it can enter the belly of this white dog - and it will not make it sick.

"But people don't know enough about this creature, miss," Miss Albert replied, "so we're not sure if it can't digest something - for its safety, please don't let it eat. Things that have passed.”

"Yes, dogs are very cute creatures. Their loyalty and liveliness always touch people's hearts."

This is where the empathy between dog owners lies. Cute dogs can always bring people closer.
