In fact, whether it was Angelica or Ella, keeping an owl was not very useful to them.
After all, neither of them intended to keep in touch with their Muggle family.
Besides, Hogwarts has public owls available.
However, the two still chose an owl each.
Twain was paying anyway.
Ella chose a white snowy owl. It was the same breed as the owl that Harry Potter had in the future, and even its name was similar.
Harry's was called Hedwig, and Ella named her own owl Hathaway.
As if to go against Ella, Angelica chose a black grey owl and named it Eva.
Even the female owner of the owl store said that this pure black gray owl was very rare.
If it was at night, one would only be able to see its eyes if one did not look carefully.
Twain bought himself a barn owl commonly known as a monkey-faced eagle and named it Donald Duck.
The three owls cost a total of 100 gold coins.
Back at the Leaky Cauldron, Ella locked herself in her room and started reading.
The bored Angelica could only stay in her room and change her appearance in front of the mirror to familiarize herself with her shapeshifting ability.
Twain received an owl letter from his brother Voldemort.
According to the letter, Tom, who had applied to stay in school during the holidays, had been chosen by the Slytherin Dean, Professor Horace Slughorn, to accompany him as an assistant to visit five new Hogwarts students.
Based on his understanding of Slughorn, Tang En did not even need to read the contents of Tom's letter to guess that the five freshmen Slughorn visited must be from pure-blooded families.
There were a total of 28 ancient pure-blood families in the British Isles, known as the Holy 28 pure-blood families.
The name sounded scary, but in fact, the 28 pure-blood families were like the nobles in the Muggle world. Most of them had already declined, and the few families that were in the worst situation only had one surname to support them.
The most typical example was the Gaunt family, the uncles of Twain and Voldemort. Other than a few precious ancestral properties, everything else had been sold off, and their lives were in dire straits.
The situation of the red-haired Weasley family was slightly better, but they were inevitably moving towards commoners. Strictly speaking, they were no longer nobles.
There were only seven pure-blooded families that still maintained the wealth and status of nobles, and all of them were members of the Hogwarts Board of Governors.
The most famous of them were the Black family, where Sirius Black was born, and the Malfoy family, which had been against the Savior.
Coincidentally, among the five pure-blooded families that Tom had visited with Slughorn this time, there were the Black and Malfoy families.
In the letter, Tom emphasized his impression of these two pure-blooded families.
The oldest and noblest Black family was one of the largest, oldest, and wealthiest pure-blood wizard families in the British Isles. Other pure-blood families had close or distant blood relations with them.
Phineas Nigellus Black, the former headmaster of Hogwarts who retired more than a decade ago, was from the Black family and the first headmaster in history to graduate from Slytherin.
Phineas was extremely resistant to Muggle-born wizards when he was headmaster, so he became the most unpopular headmaster of Hogwarts.
At this time, the Blake family was in its heyday. It could be said to be synonymous with status and wealth.
Slughorn had been on good terms with Phineas when he had been headmaster, and his visit was received with great fanfare by the Black family.
The former headmaster, Phineas, had personally attended a high-class reception dinner for Slughorn.
As an assistant, Tom also had a chance to witness the extravagance of the upper-class wizarding society.
Tom had only briefly mentioned these things in the letter.
At the banquet, Tom, as the most outstanding student of Slytherin, had a rare opportunity to talk to Afinis.
Tom did not forget his mission of avenging his parents and reviving the Corleone Family. He took this opportunity to try to persuade Afinis.
However, Afinis, who was originally very friendly to him, immediately changed his attitude when he heard that Tom was from the Corleone Family. He even bluntly pointed out that Tom was just an adopted son of the Corleone Family and did not have the blood of the Corleone Family flowing in his veins.
In other words, Tom was not qualified to represent the Corleone Family in negotiating with him.
Fortunately, Slughorn's sharp eyes came to the rescue in time and changed the subject, which saved the situation from being very awkward.
The direct consequence of this incident was that Tom's impression of the Black family took a sharp turn.
Slughorn consoled Tom afterwards, explaining how the Black family took purity of blood very seriously.
The Black family considered themselves as royalty of the Wizarding world, and they were contemptuous of Muggles, Squibs, pure-blood traitors, and Muggle-born.
Just like the motto on their family badge,"Always Pure"!
But in fact, there were no real pure-blood wizard families today. Pure-blood families like the Black family simply removed Muggles and Squibs from their genealogy to ensure the "purity" of the family bloodline.
It was not strange why Apheinis treated Tom with such an attitude.
After all, the Corleone Family was unique among all the pure-blooded families in Europe. Not only did they control Muggles in the form of gangs, but they also prohibited their family members from marrying Muggles.
Even if the descendants of the family were Muggles or Squibs, as long as they were capable, they could be put in an important position by the family.
For example, Twain's uncle, Vito Corleone, who had gone to North America, was a Squib.
But before the Corleone family was overthrown, his status in the family was even higher than Twain's wizard father.
In the eyes of a pure-blooded family like the Blake family, which attached great importance to the purity of their bloodline, this was simply a betrayal of the entire pure-blooded family.
Twain's father had taken refuge in London before his death and sought help from the Holy 28 Family. The Black Family was the most negative among them. One of the important reasons was that they did not agree with the Corleone Family's approach.
Tom swore in the letter that he would make the Blake family regret it.
Twain did not care about that. He was more concerned about the heir of the Black family who had entered Hogwarts in the same year as him.
Sirius Black.
Sirius Black's father.
Due to the humiliation from Afinis, Tom didn't mention the heir of the Blake family in his letter.
However, Tom mentioned the heir of another pure-blooded family.
Amaxus Malfoy!
(There is more than one person who has mixed Sirius Black and Sirius Black together. There are many foreign fathers and sons who have the same name. The son is called Little something. These two people are father and son. Everyone, look carefully. Don't say that the timeline is wrong!)）
