Chapter 98: Smart Sunny

Afternoon, Hogwarts, Black Lake.

"Look, that looks like Professor Lockhart."

"Hey, is Professor Lockhart also coming to Black Lake to see the scenery?"

"Did you see the bird on Professor Lockhart's side?"

"I saw it, do you know what it is?"

Three female Ravenclaw students were discussing near the Black Lake while looking curiously at Professor Lockhart sitting by the lake. Today is Lockhart's holiday, and for sixth-year wizards, there are no classes this afternoon. Therefore, some students choose to study on their own, and some students go to the Black Lake to see the scenery.

"Would you like to go over and take a look?"

"Go ahead, Professor Lockhart is quite handsome."

"Yes, and he is also a professor from our Ravenclaw house."

"Well, yes, he is much better than those previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professors."

As they spoke, several girls held hands, smiled, and walked towards Lockhart, pushing and encouraging each other. At this moment, Lockhart saw some excitement around him, with Sunny teleporting around from time to time, a faint smile floating on his face.

Lockhart had decided to take a vacation for himself today. He had gone with Hagrid to the Forbidden Forest in the morning. Not only did he meet a unicorn, but he also gained a Golden Snidget as his new pet. It can be said that the morning was full of harvest. In the afternoon, he went to the Black Lake to look at the scenery and enjoy the cool autumn breeze. However, looking at the overly excited Sunny in front of him, Lockhart suddenly thought of the cat he had raised in his previous life. It had been quite scared of him at first, but once it got familiar with him, it became more courageous, running around in his house and occasionally causing a little trouble.

Looking at Sunny, the Golden Snidget that was teleporting around excitedly in front of him, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. His cooing habits were not the same as those of cats. After thinking for a moment, Lockhart put it behind him, closed his eyes, put his hands behind his head, and lay on the grass, feeling the autumn breeze blowing through his body, which was very comfortable. At this moment, he felt very peaceful, forgetting all about Voldemort's Horcruxes, runes, Dumbledore, etc. His heart was clear; he just wanted to sleep peacefully and enjoy the comfort of this day.

Sunny, who was flying in mid-air, looked at his keeper with some confusion. It didn't think much about it. It was the first time it had come here, and it felt very comfortable. In fact, this feeling came from the magic formation of Hogwarts. As a school for young wizards, it happened to be built on what is called a magic leyline. It is very suitable for wizards to live in, and it is also very suitable for magical creatures like Sunny.

Well, it felt like it had chosen correctly. Sunny had eaten a lot of good food and now came to a good place. Sure enough, intuition will not lie to itself. After a while, Sunny saw three creatures that looked similar to its owner cautiously approaching. However, Sunny somehow felt that the other party had bad intentions. So it quickly flew in front of Lockhart, began to flap Lockhart's face gently with its wings, and chirped.

"Cuckoo."

But Lockhart remained motionless, still resting with his eyes closed. Well, he had long felt that three students were coming, but it seemed that the target was not him, but Sunny. Then he would continue to rest and let them play with his pet. With Sunny's ability, he couldn't tell who would play with whom. As if sensing Lockhart's thoughts, Sunny angrily jumped on Lockhart's face a few times, vented its anger, and flew into the sky. The new owner was somewhat unreliable, so Sunny still had to rely on itself. Well, the main reason was that it didn't feel any ill intentions from those female students, and the owner was also nearby, so Sunny seemed a bit fearless.

"Nancy, this is the Golden Snidget. It was taught in Professor Lockhart's class last time."

"Hey, it's true. It's so cute and adorable."

"Be careful. I heard from the professor that it is a bit timid."

"But didn't Professor Lockhart say he hadn't seen it? How does he have it now?"

"Professor Lockhart won't lie to us, will he?"

"Don't worry about it. Let's take a look first. Unfortunately, we don't know what it likes to eat, and the professor didn't tell us about it."

The three girls cautiously walked towards Sunny and took out their favorite snacks.

"Chirp Chirp."

Sunny, who was flying in the air, looked curiously at the three female students below who placed some strange-smelling food on the lawn. Watching them take a few steps back as if to let it taste the food, Sunny turned around and looked at Lockhart, who was still lying on the ground resting next to him.

"Chirp Chirp."

After thinking about it, its body suddenly shook and it let out an excited cry, as if it had come up with a brilliant idea. With a flash of light, Sunny teleported to the lawn and picked up one of the small balls. Another teleport brought him to Lockhart's face, Lockhart's mouth to be precise. He pushed it with his wings and watched Lockhart open his mouth expectantly. Lockhart sensed this scene and suddenly felt a little headache. However, the thing on his mouth seemed to be a strange-flavored bean, so he thought about it and ate it anyway.

Hey, it tastes good, beef flavor.

Sunny became a little disappointed after seeing Lockhart eat it, and he picked up a few more strange-flavored beans and teleported them to Lockhart's mouth. Lockhart naturally opened his mouth and smiled. Well, it has beef flavor, chicken flavor, and a weird one that's a little sweet, but he couldn't tell what it tastes like. Sunny watched Lockhart eat several but nothing happened. It felt relieved immediately and glanced at the students standing nearby. Without paying attention, Sunny teleported directly to the snack, picked it up, and brought it to Lockhart, ready to taste it slowly.

"Chirp Chirp."

It felt that those creatures that were similar to Lockhart seemed to be quite afraid of Lockhart. If this is the case, then it will not be afraid. So, in front of several Ravenclaw students, Sunny started eating snacks.

"Wow, so smart."

"He even feeds his master food."

"I want it too. Have you seen his little blue eyes? They feel like gems."

"How about we go up and say hello to the professor and touch it at the same time."

"Nancy, that's a good idea."

With that said, Nancy, who had just proposed the idea, walked forward with the two friends behind her. However, this scared Sunny a little. As soon as it felt that the food was good, the creature not far away came towards it. It quickly flew up and hid in the other ear next to Lockhart's face.

"Chirp Chirp."

It flapped and shouted, as if to alert Lockhart that a creature was approaching.
