Chapter 245: Ralph Secretly Hatching Eggs
Leaving his body in Hogsmeade, Ralph spread his wings, raised the clouds, and flew towards the Atlantic.
After spending so much time in the Forbidden Forest House, and using his mind for so long, Ralph decided to go out and relax.
For example, the wand itself is a project, and he no longer knows which corner he has thrown it into.
Fortunately, the [Occlumency] is progressing well, and it can easily resist the [Regent Mind] that comes with the "textbook".
After gaining control of his memories, Ralph has some interesting ideas.
[Occlumency] and [Regent's Mind] are like [Lock Picking Spell] and [Lock Spell], one is the door and the other is the key.
So, Ralph had this thought:
Can you use [Brain Occlumency] and [Lockpicking Charm] to shape a door on the surface of your memory that requires a specific key to open?
Once completed, this means that the door will have to be completed with a Dementor Mind and a specific Lockpicking Charm.
At this point, though, it's just an idea, and any manipulation of memories is a delicate piece of engineering.
The magic of the Ring Memory Lock will take a long time to study and experiment.
Riding the wind, Ralph easily crossed the hills, bringing shadows and thin rains to the earth.
The endless ocean was not stable, and with the help of the original air mass, Ralph set off an even more violent thunderstorm.
The clouds were thick and black, pressing heavily on the surface of the sea, and the distance between the sea and the sky seemed to be narrowed.
The wind whipped up huge waves and crashed far away on the cliff shore.
The fish swam into the depths like crazy, and the lightning reached the surface of the water, and in a short time there were fish floating on the surface of the sea with their white bellies.
Ralph himself was bathed in thunder and lightning in the clouds, his feathers standing up slightly and shivering with arcs of electricity beating in between.
The horrific natural disasters of nature are nothing more than a bath after Ralph's flight.
After the "cleaning" was completed, the exhaustion was gone, and the soreness caused by the reckless flight on the wings became comfortable.
Looking at the belly-turning fish all over the sea, Ralph was overjoyed, and put them all away, not only dried them, but also put them in storage feathers with insurance functions.
"Holiday gifts."
"Looks like the main course of Hogwarts' opening dinner for next semester is fish again."
Ralph thought.
After a little more rage on the surface of the sea, Ralph flew in the direction of the nursery.
As if breaking through a membrane, Ralph is here again.
It was unexpectedly quiet, and there was not a single sound from living beings except for thunder and lightning and the sound of the ocean.
Ralph didn't say anything about this, after all, this is the norm in parenting places.
Thanks to the development of their ancestors, the Ptarmigan race has been raised all over the world.
The Atlantic, or the United Kingdom, is not the usual home of the Ptarmigone, so few Ptarmigan come here to give birth.
Although the Thunderbird is a magical animal, it has similar habits to many ordinary birds, such as monogamy, and will not easily change their mating partner if their object is still alive.
Of course, the Ptarmigan is only a fantastic animal and has not developed a social form like humans.
Thus, after a young Ptarmigan couple, apart from raising children, they spend most of their time apart.
Only when you are bored and want to raise a few cubs to play will you start dating.
Thunderbird's dating is still quite interesting, and it is mainly divided into two types, senior dating and youth dating.
Senior-style dating, in a flat and safe environment, two ptarmigans face each other, head down, bouncing in circles, and chirping.
At this time, the cry of the ptarmigan is different from the usual gold-piercing stone, but more delicate.
"Haw~ya~chirp~yah, chirp~"
Something like this.
After a few times like this, both parties are ready and it is time to start building the baby.
A youth date, which takes place in the sky, among the clouds, bathed in thunder and lightning, two ptarmigans fly around each other and extend their claws to each other, and both parties will try to grab each other's claws with their claws.
Successfully catching the claws is equivalent to a successful date, but the time to catch the claws and fly is controlled by the young Thunderbird couple.
As a result, there have been many cases where Thunderbird couples have fallen from the sky because they have not controlled the flight time of their claws.
However, before finally starting to make children, it is still necessary to have a face-to-face, circle-turning, and coquettish date, otherwise the male bird is easy to forget how to step on the back.
Back pedaling, a method of reproduction in birds, in which a male bird steps on the back of a female bird for mating.
Ralph arrives in the cavern in the center of the nursery, where two large eggs lie on the round sandstone, shimmering blue.
Tilting his head, Ralph took a closer look, and it was indeed two ptarmigan eggs.
The paw tugged back a few times, and Ralph jumped forward curiously.
Walking to the Ptarmigan Egg, he paced around the egg a few times, changed directions, and looked at the egg with his eyes, glancing out of the cave from time to time.
After all, it was the first time to do such a thing, and Ralph was still a little nervous.
He crouched down slowly, covering the two ptarmigan eggs with the feathers on his belly, and shifted left and right, and Ralph lay down.
As a young ptarmigan, he was still interested in how to hatch eggs, which he had never tried before.
Ralph has tried things like feeding young birds, training them in flight, and training them to hunt, and has been a surrogate parent and teacher for a long time.
Lying on the ptarmigan egg, Ralph felt comfortable, and shook his body, the feathers all over his body were fluffy, and he gradually narrowed his eyes.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the Thunderbirds soon returned.
As soon as they returned, they felt Ralph's breath and hurried towards the entrance of the cave, knowing that their fellow wouldn't hurt the cubs and even help take care of them, but they were still a little nervous.
As soon as they entered, the young couple saw Ralph hatching eggs, squinting and fluffy with feathers, as if he were about to fall asleep.
Ralph noticed them as well, and both sides met, both seeing the embarrassment in each other's faces.
After some exchange, they all got to know each other in general.
Ralph is a studious unmarried, single, quality male ptarmigan.
This Thunderbird is a young, playful newcomer couple, who went out to play soon after becoming parents, relying on their own egg treasure to survive.
At the same time, during the exchange, the young Thunderbird couple also warned Ralph not to listen to the gossip of the elders of the clan.
Say that raising children is fun, it's okay to have a few more children, and having a child gives birth to a bird has the meaning of struggle, etc.
It's all fooling birds, and hatching an egg almost dries up their idle paws.
Ralph nodded, he thought it was okay to hatch the eggs, but it was definitely a headache to take care of the children.
He talked to the young parents about his experience as a surrogate parent and found that the other party clearly preferred to take care of their children.
Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter a door.
The three birds exchanged and decided to let Ralph join the "family" for the time being, and hatch the eggs on their behalf.
