"Percy got an owl from my dad for being made prefect, but they couldn't aff — I mean, I got Scabbers instead."

— Ronald Weasley tells Harry Potter about Hermes^[src]

Hermes (fl. 1991-1995) is a Screech Owl belonging to Percy Weasley. Hermes was purchased for Percy by his father as a reward for becoming a Gryffindor prefect in his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In 1995, Percy used Hermes to deliver a letter to his brother Ronald, advising him not to trust Harry Potter any longer and side with Dolores Umbridge and the British Ministry of Magic.

Etymology

Hermes (Ἑρμής) was the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology. Coincidentally, this is also the origin of the name "Hermione".
