Mouse (Harry Potter)

A mouse is a small mammal belonging to the rodent order. It was used in Transfiguration class as part of the curriculum on vanishment.
==History==
During the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Sybill Trelawney taught sixth year Divination students about Myomancy, the branch of Divination involving mice and rats.On 31 July 1991, in the Hut-on-the-Rock, when Rubeus Hagrid bent Vernon Dursley's gun and threw it in the corner of the room, Vernon made a noise that was said to be "like a mouse being trodden on."
Mice were a favourite food of owls and Hedwig regularly brought back dead mice after her initial arrival at 4 Privet Drive. Their skeletons were also noted to cover the floor of the Hogwarts Owlery, along with those of the vole, a similar creature.During the 1991 Christmas feast, Harry Potter opened a Wizard Cracker containing several white mice. They quickly scurried off after the cracker was opened, and Harry speculated that they would probably be found and eaten by Mrs Norris. That same year, Professor Minerva McGonagall had her first year students transfigure mice into snuffboxes for their first year exam. Points were given based on the prettiness of the snuffbox, but deducted if it had whiskers.
At around one o'clock on his birthday, 31 July, 1993, Harry Potter scanned the sky for signs of Hedwig, "perhaps soaring back to him with a dead mouse dangling from her beak, expecting praise." Instead, she arrived along with two other owls and bearing a birthday present from Hermione Granger. Later, the morning of the first Gryffindor Quidditch match of the season, against Hufflepuff, Harry caught Crookshanks trying to sneak into the Gryffindor Boys' Dormitory and told him to go chase some mice and leave Scabbers alone.
