Chapter 32 - The End of Book 1 (2/2)
”What a total monkey.”
”I agree.”
”Yes, Yes, well done, Slytherin,” said Dumbledore.
Professor Snape got up and shook Professor McGonagall's hand with a smirk who in turn, wore a very stiff smile on her face.
Arth sighed and turned around to pat Daphne on the back. ”Congratulations I'm winning the house cup.”
”Thanks. It was a close one too. Imagine if we lost to Gryffindor.”
”Imagine if Professor Dumbledore showed favoritism and boosted the points of the Gryffindors so that they won the house cup?”
”I would leave this school then.”
”Same.”
There was a tiny pop as Corvus, who was considerably larger since the beginning of the year, gave Arth an affectionate coo.
In return, Arth fed it some turkey.
”Is it really ok to feed Corvus turkey? Isn't that like.... cannibalism?”
”Since Corvus is fine with the taste, I think it'll be alright. Birds will eat any meat after all, as long as it is small enough.”
”Whatever you say.”
Arth got up and stretched before giving Daphne a last look. ”I guess it's almost time to leave this school.”
”I guess it is.”
”I'll be heading off to my room then. I need to pack. See you on the train Daphne.”
”See you.”
Arth and Corvus made their way out of the Great Hall and the shadows casted by the flaming torches on the wall flickered. For a moment, Daphne swore that she saw all of the shadows bow down before him. Like loyal subjects kneeling to their King.
