Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.

Report Problem

He wrote out a series of notes and then returned the papers before nodding politely to Madame Pince and leaving the library. Back in his quarters he called out, "Nebby!" With a small pop, the small figure appeared.

The eager house elf smiled broadly at the young man. "Yes Master Harry, sir? How may Nebby be helping?"

"Nebby, I don't want to impose, but I wondered whether you could help me deliver some notes to some students? I didn't want to make it too obvious by sending Hedwig."

The snowy owl resting on her perch in the sitting room ruffled her feathers and glared at him when he asked the house elf to deliver notes, and then promptly turned her back on her owner.

Harry hastened over to stroke the offended owl. "I know you're perfectly capable of delivering them, Hedwig, but when as beautiful an owl as you appears, she's bound to be noticed. I just wanted them delivered without anyone else noticing." Although she huffed at him, she did turn around after several minutes of caresses.

Harry sighed at the temperamental bird and returned his attention to Nebby, who seemed to be watching the two with amusement. "Miss Hedwig is such a smart and pretty owl," she said. "Nebby knows that she could never replace Miss Hedwig, but hopes Miss Hedwig is willing to let Nebby help at times?" The owl huffed, but seemed mollified.

Harry gave an appreciative smile to the house elf and retrieved the notes from his book bag. "Would you please discretely leave these where the students will find them, Nebby?"

"Of course Master Harry, sir. Nebby is doing that immediately!" With another small pop, the house elf disappeared to complete her task.

A snort came from above the fireplace. "I believe I will have to readjust my understanding of who is the owner and who is the familiar," Salazar said with a smirk.

Harry grinned at the portrait. "I'm very well aware that Hedwig graciously condescended to accompany me and that I belong to her," he retorted. The snowy owl barked her approval at the answer, causing Salazar to chuckle warmly.
