McGonagall immediately understood who the target of this search was. She nodded. "They're all here!"
Then she turned around and looked at Percy. "Prefect, call all the children from the dormitories. The Professors need to inspect the dormitories."
"Yes, Professor McGonagall." Percy and the other Prefects nodded.
A moment later, another group of young male and female Wizards gathered here. Hermione walked down the stairs with a worried expression, and beside her were two Little Witches comforting her—or perhaps just gossiping.
Percy finally pulled out another red-haired boy and said to the Professors, "Professor, there's no one left in the boys' dormitory."
After speaking, he sternly looked down at his brother.
"We'll look for it later, the Professors are all here now!"
The female Prefect also responded.
Howl clapped his hands, then remembered Grindelwald's words and couldn't help but remind him, "Use your eyes."
Dumbledore gave a wry smile. "I actually don't usually like to do that…"
Howl said nothing else. A small wand appeared in his hand, and a silver mist emerged. Silver cats leaped out from the tip of the wand.
"Oh, conjuring multiple Patronuses… This is even more astonishing than a Phoenix," Dumbledore exclaimed.
"Because I have too many happy memories," Howl said with a smile.
Professor McGonagall watched the various sizes of round, long-furred cats leaping from the wand tip, her eyes shining with wonder.
In the common room, the children also curiously watched these large cats, who walked with light steps towards the dormitories.
Ron looked nervous and quickly raised his hand, saying, "Professor, um… my pet is missing. It's a rat. If this… uh, if this cat finds it, can it please not eat it?"
"And my toad!" Neville also suddenly remembered this and looked worriedly at the cats walking into the dormitory.
"Ron, Patronuses won't eat your rat. Scabbers doesn't even have any meat," Fred said with a laugh, patting Ron's shoulder, his comfort full of teasing.
At this moment, Dumbledore's blue eyes behind his half-moon spectacles flickered continuously.
Professor McGonagall looked around at the children, confirming that everyone was present.
A moment later, the cats padded back.
One particular large cat, as tall as a person's calf, was holding a dried fish in its mouth.
"Ah! That's my cat's!!" a girl quickly said.
??
Howl looked at the large cat with an embarrassed expression.
"Uh… we all know that what a Patronus does has nothing to do with its owner."
"Howl, we all know that when a Patronus is cast, some of its actions are influenced by the owner… and Patronuses don't eat real things…"
As he spoke, the silver-white large cat rubbed against Howl's leg, lifting its head as if asking him to take the dried fish.
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall exchanged glances, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Patronuses rarely exhibit such high intelligence.
"Thank you…" Howl rubbed the large cat's head, awkwardly took the dried fish, then recalled his Patronuses and returned the dried fish to the girl.
"No… no need, if Professor, you want to eat it…" The girl's face turned red, and she quickly waved her hand awkwardly.
