Chapter 5 An Owl

《The Great Crisis of Owls》

"Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reports that recently, there have been frequent cases of missing owls in the London area, causing many wizards' letters to disappear without a trace. Many of our newspaper's owls responsible for delivering newspapers have also disappeared without a trace. The losses caused during this period are incalculable, but the incompetent Ministry of Magic has not yet found any clues.

It is well known that before You-Know-Who was eliminated, he and his Death Eaters often committed crimes of intercepting owls. Does this mean that the power of the Dark Lord is reviving?

"In fact, there were cases of missing owls shortly after You-Know-Who was defeated." said a member of the Ministry of Magic who did not want to be named, "Someone once reminded the senior management, but Minister Millicent and most of the senior management were immersed in the joy of victory and did not take it seriously. "

Owls are our wizards' partners and friends, but the high officials of the Ministry of Magic seem to disdain this.

Now the situation is getting worse. When the reporter asked an official of the Ministry of Magic whether he could find out the truth in time, he forcibly ended the interview with no comment."

In the Daily Prophet, a piece of news about owls caused a stir in the wizarding world, especially in London.

However, our instigator had just woken up from a hawthorn tree.

After waking up, Feishi opened his mouth and yawned, squatted on the branch and began to lick his front paws, and rubbed his face with his two paws.

After washing his face seriously, Feishi shook his fur, stretched his buttocks, and jumped down from the hawthorn tree.

Although Feishi had changed his eating time a long time ago to match the human's work and rest habits, his main activity time is still at night.

Walking lightly to a tree nearby, Fei Xu stood up, put his two front paws on the trunk and began to sharpen his claws.

In fact, with the spell of shape change, he no longer needed to sharpen his claws. He just did it out of habit.

After sharpening his claws as usual and adding countless new scars to the unfortunate tree, Fei Xu raised his tail and began to patrol the territory today, and by the way, see if he could meet a few humans and get some food from them.

It has been a long time since he left his birthplace chasing the fat bird called owl. During this period, Fei Xu changed several territories for the same or different reasons. Anyway, for him, there is basically no danger no matter where he is, and changing different territories can also encounter more new things, so Fei Xu has long been accustomed to this kind of life.

As Fei Xu took steps, his body gradually swelled up, and his body shape and fur color also changed.

In simple terms, it turned into a cat with a body length of only about half a meter and cheetah fur.

At the beginning, in the strange box called TV, he saw several "kinds" of huge size, but no matter how hard Fei Xu tried, he could only change to a body size of about half a meter, and his appearance was obviously different from that of real tigers and lions.

However, this was not an important matter for Fei Xu. He just treated this change as a game, and a body size of half a meter was enough for him.

After a stroll around the area, Fei Xu became a little bored.

Because the temperature has been dropping recently, his kind has gradually reduced the frequency of activities.

According to past experience, a lot of white and cold things will fall from the sky soon. Humans call it snow, and they seem to like this white thing very much.

However, Fei Xu and his kind don't like this kind of weather very much, because every time at this time, some of his kind often can't wake up after falling asleep.

Although his situation is special and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to get up after sleeping, Fei Xu still doesn't like this kind of weather.

What Fei Xu likes most is the days with warm sunshine, but it's a pity that such weather is rare.

Just when Fei Xu started to chase his tail out of boredom, he suddenly heard a "coo" sound in the sky.

It was the call of an owl.

Although the calls of owls are different, their cooing sounds are always very special and very recognizable.

Fei Xu raised his head and saw a familiar chubby figure passing through the sky.

He licked his tongue subconsciously. He hadn't tasted an owl for a while.

It seems that because of his excessive hunting, the frequency of owls has greatly decreased recently.

Without hesitation, he threw a wild mark at the owl. Fei Xu restored his original appearance, but still maintained a half-meter long body. He chased the owl he marked and ran away.

According to Fei Xu's previous experience in hunting owls, these owls are generally raised by a group of strange humans in robes to help them deliver letters and goods.

So generally speaking, they would fly to a certain place and then return by a long route.

This is why his efficiency in hunting owls has greatly improved in the past few years - he only needs to find a place to ambush the owls on their return route.

And as long as he encounters those strange humans in robes, he can easily hunt these owls by squatting near their residence.

However, the marked owl this time was a little strange. It didn't seem to be delivering a letter, but was constantly circling over the nearby blocks, making cooing sounds from time to time.

Just as Feishi was puzzled, the owl seemed to be tired of flying, and landed on the balcony of a house, folded its wings and began to rest.

The opportunity cannot be missed.

Feishi immediately put away his claws, and his four paw pads stepped on the ground silently and quickly, like a ghostly ghost coming to the corner of the wall, and then walked up the wall without stopping.

[Spider Walk]

Gain the ability to walk on walls and ceilings.

Silently coming behind the owl, Feishi crouched down and slowly approached him.

At the same time, a pair of triangular ears stood up high, a pair of eyes stared at the owl, and the pupils gradually expanded, almost completely filling the green in the eyes.

At this moment, the owl seemed to sense the danger, and its head turned nearly 180 degrees, meeting the eyes of Feishi who was crawling forward.

However, the distance between the two was enough for Feishi to launch an attack. He rushed out like an arrow, and pounced directly on the owl. While knocking it off the balcony, his teeth also bit the owl's neck tightly.

The cat and the bird rolled into a ball and fell from the balcony.

Just as Feishi wanted to bite the neck of the prey harder, he suddenly felt a repulsive force coming from the owl, forcing him to loosen his mouth and be ejected.

Immediately afterwards, the owl swelled rapidly in front of Feishi, turning into a human wearing a gray robe, with gray hair and beard.

The bounced Fish adjusted his body in mid-air and landed on the ground steadily, while the human transformed from an owl waved the stick in his hand and shouted-

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

The rapidly falling human suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then he landed on the ground lightly like a feather, just like Fish used the gliding technique.

At this time, the Minister of Magic was not Fudge. Fudge took office the year before Harry went to school. His predecessor was Millicent.

Regarding the plot that some readers can't accept eating owls... There is no way, the protagonist is a wild cat at this time, and it is a wild cat with enhanced abilities. Catching birds is instinctive.

If you want to make the wizard world notice the protagonist without making too much noise, you can only think of the flying owls.

Although it is not impossible to be discovered by wizards accidentally, I have already written it, what can I do, and I won't do it later.

…

There’s nothing much to say about Zhongyuan recently… He still finds all kinds of ways to get into my room, and when I ignore him, he makes a fuss next to me, lying on my keyboard and refusing to leave. If I touch him, he will run away or bite me. If I shut him outside, he will scratch the door…

I’ve raised him to be a big boss…(-*)
