Chapter 144: The Final Settlement

"Meow--woo--"

The silver-gray tabby kitten lying on the soft velvet cushion closed his eyes and stretched vigorously. His small body stretched his limbs in different directions, looking very heroic.

After stretching, Fish opened his eyes dazedly, turned over and squatted, licked his paws, and rubbed his face with them.

(=Φω=)

After finishing a set of face-washing procedures, Fish realized that the cushion under his feet was unfamiliar, so he quickly raised his head to see where he was.

Then he looked up and saw Professor McGonagall, who had a stern face and a gloomy expression that almost dripped water.

"Meow!"∑(=ΦДΦ=)

Fish was so scared that the whole cat arched up, and his tail was blown up like a large brush.

Although he didn't know what Minerva was angry about, Fish still lay down very skillfully, put his little head on his two front paws, his ears drooped, his pupils dilated to the maximum, and looked at Professor McGonagall pitifully.

"Meow~" (=ω=)

However, Professor McGonagall remained unmoved and continued to frown without saying a word.

"Meow~"

Fish jumped off the cushion, ran to Professor McGonagall's feet, rubbed his head against her calves, and continued to act like a spoiled child.

Unfortunately, all this was in vain. After all, what he encountered this time was too exaggerated...

That was the Fiendfyre! If you are not careful, even Professor McGonagall herself may be annihilated by the terrible flame!

"Okay, Minerva," Dumbledore, who had been standing by and watching the show, finally couldn't help but speak, "That Fiendfyre wasn't set by Fish either. We should wait until we find out what happened, right?"

"Meow!"∑(=ΦДΦ=)

Fish only then realized that the bad old man was also there. He looked around and confirmed that he was in the bad old man's office.

Then he immediately greeted Fawkes, who was drooping on the golden branch.

"Meow~"(=ΦωΦ=)

"Lie..."

Fawkes replied weakly.

Seeing that Fish was still heartless, Professor McGonagall lowered her voice and roared at him: "Come back and talk!"

She finally remembered that she was in the principal's office and barely maintained the last bit of sanity.

"Minerva~"●ω●

Fish obediently turned into a cat-man, then hugged her waist, raised his little face and blinked his eyes, and used the coquettish tactic again...

Although he still didn't understand what Professor McGonagall was angry about.

Anyway, he would act coquettishly first.

Professor McGonagall's expression eased a little, and she stretched out her hand to touch Fish's head. Fish also took the initiative to tiptoe and put his little head into Professor McGonagall's hand.

Then...

She grabbed the cat ears on his head.

"Meow! It hurts... Minerva, let go!" (●QДQ●)

Professor McGonagall let go of her hand as she was told, and then grabbed Fish's face again, and this time she used both hands at the same time.

After grabbing his face, Professor McGonagall clenched her fist and gave Fish a heavy head bang. After doing all this, she let go of this daring little cat.

"Why did you hit Fish?! Fish hasn't gotten into trouble recently!" (ノ)`ω'(ヾ)

Fish rubbed his red face and asked unconvincedly.

"You still have the nerve to say that?!" Professor McGonagall breathed heavily, no longer suppressing her voice, and asked instead: "Then tell me! Where did you go last night?!"

"Meow last night?"

Fish tilted his head and began to recall.

At first he was walking around the castle normally... Then he sneaked out to play with his friends in the Forbidden Forest as usual... Then Buckbeak and Wuwu and the others fought... After Wuwu found that Lochlin was injured, he ran to help and met the black-robed man before...

His last memory was that the black-robed man, that is, the stinky guy, set a terrible fire in the Forbidden Forest, and then he and the animals in the Forbidden Forest were running away...

"Meow!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Fish, who finally remembered, didn't bother to pretend that he hadn't gotten into trouble. He grabbed Professor McGonagall's robe and shouted anxiously.

"Minerva, it's bad! The bastard set a fire in the Forbidden Forest! He also injured Lochlin! Go and save them!"

"Don't worry, Fish," Dumbledore came over and held down Fish, who was jumping anxiously, "You have put out the fire, don't you remember?"

"It was put out by Fish, meow?"

Fish was confused, he had no memory at all.

"Yes, you summoned a very beautiful drizzle and put out the fire. It was the most beautiful rain I have ever seen in my life."

Dumbledore closed his eyes and sighed with endless aftertaste.

"But...why doesn't Fish have any impression? And Fish doesn't like rain very much, meow."ω

"Well, it seems difficult to describe it with words..."

Dumbledore thought for a while, turned around and took out a shallow stone basin from a black cabinet under the shelf where the Sorting Hat was placed. The basin was engraved with some letters and symbols that Fish couldn't understand.

In this stone basin, there is a silvery-white substance that looks like both liquid and gas. This strange substance emitting silver light keeps flowing in the basin, which looks very interesting.

"Meow?"

Curious, Fish stepped forward and wanted to grab the silver light with his hands, but was blocked by Dumbledore.

"Don't worry, it's not the time yet."

Professor McGonagall grabbed the little fur cat by the collar, dragged him back to her side, and shouted sternly: "Just stay here! Don't do any more mischief!"

"Oh~~~"

Fish reluctantly agreed in a long voice, then stood beside Professor McGonagall with his arms crossed and his mouth pouted.

"Hmph!" (〃｀3′〃)

Dumbledore took out his wand and pointed the tip of the wand at his temple. After a moment, he took out the wand and pulled out a silver thread from his head.

Gently placing the silver wire on top of the stone basin and shaking it off, Dumbledore shook the stone basin, and then said to the two McGonagalls: "Come on, I will take you to see the wonderful scene last night. of rain.”

Professor McGonagall took Fish's hand and came to the pensieve. Dumbledore took his other hand, and then leaned down until he touched his crooked nose to the silver substance in the basin.

Immediately afterwards, Fish felt himself being dragged by the bad old man, and he fell towards the stone basin. At the same time, the entire principal's office became spinning, and a black vortex appeared in front of his eyes.

However, before Fish started to struggle, he found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed into the Forbidden Forest at night, and not far away, stood an anxious Dumbledore in a nightgown.

"The bad old man has two cats!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Fish turned his head and looked to his side. There was a calm-looking Dumbledore in wizard robes holding his hand.

Then he heard the noisy and panicked screams of animals in the Forbidden Forest, but this time he couldn't understand what everyone was shouting.

Following the sound, the flames of the Forbidden Forest in the distance soared into the sky, illuminating the nearby sky as if it were daytime.

"Minerva! Go put out the fire, meow!"

Although Fish couldn't figure out what was happening now, he still shouted to Professor McGonagall eagerly.

"This is just my memory of last night. We don't have to do anything, just watch quietly." Dumbledore comforted.

At the same time, the scene in front of them changed again, coming closer to the fire scene, and Dumbledore, who was wearing a nightgown not far away, staggered.

"Fawkes has been getting weaker and weaker recently, and my Apparition in Hogwarts has also been greatly affected." Dumbledore, who was beside him, explained in time.

Then they saw Dumbledore in his nightgown flying into the sky. He seemed to be planning to fly directly to the place where the fire was.

At this moment, a milky, yet clear and high-pitched cat meow rang out in the Forbidden Forest.

"Meow~woo——"
