Chapter 216: Fish Magg's Instability

"Meow?"

The kitten, who was listening to a story in Professor McGonagall's office, raised her head again and looked at the ceiling.

"what happened again?"

Professor McGonagall frowned and also looked upward.

The twins have made preparations and are unlikely to run around now. Which student sneaked out and ran around after attending the dinner party before they had enough fun?

Just when Professor McGonagall was about to question Fish carefully, he jumped off Professor McGonagall's lap first and immediately transformed back into the cat-man form after landing.

"Minerva! It's Argus's cry, meow!"

Fish shook his ears and shouted nervously: "It seems something happened to Loris, meow!"

(●ΦДΦ●)

After saying that, he ran out of the office.

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and followed out, but Fish's speed was too fast. By the time she walked out of the office, Fish could no longer be seen.

But Fish was looking at the ceiling just now, so Professor McGonagall didn't need to think too much and walked directly upstairs.

"It's you! You killed my cat!" Argus grabbed Harry and Ron's collars one by one and shook them wildly, "I want to kill you! Revenge for Loris!"

Harry swore that he had never seen such a vicious side of Filch...even though he had always been synonymous with fear and disgust in the minds of all students except Fish.

"We didn't... it was already like this when we came here!"

Harry and Ron, who were frightened by Filch's expression, trembled in defense. Unfortunately, Filch had lost his mind and couldn't listen to what they said.

Just when Filch's movements were getting bigger and bigger, and he was about to hurt Harry and Ron, Fish, who was running all the way, finally arrived.

"Argus! What's wrong with Loris?!"

Fish hurriedly ran to the three of them, and without waiting for their answers, he already saw Mrs. Norris hanging on the torch.

"Meow!"∑(●`Д●)

The hair on the tail exploded instantly, and Fish jumped up to the wall in the blink of an eye and took off the hanging Mrs. Norris.

"My poor Mrs. Norris..."

After Fish arrived, Filch finally calmed down a little. He pushed Harry and Ron away and moved closer to Fish. Looking at Mrs. Norris who was stiff, he finally couldn't help covering his face and howling. burst into tears.

"What happened?"

Professor McGonagall finally arrived in a hurry, along with Lockhart, who heard the noise, and a small number of students who sneaked out to wander around.

However, they quickly ran away after seeing Professor McGonagall, and Professor McGonagall didn't have time to pay attention to these students who violated school rules.

"professor!"

Filch wiped the tears on his face indiscriminately, then pointed at Harry and Ron and cried and complained: "It's them! They killed my cat!"

"we do not have……"

Harry retorted dryly.

Professor McGonagall glanced at him and Ron, and then at Mrs. Norris who was being held by Fish.

"Don't worry, let's find a place first, and then you can slowly explain what happened."

"Go to my place!" Lockhart volunteered and stood up. "My office is the closest to here, just downstairs!"

Glancing at Lockhart with a frown, Professor McGonagall nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Professor Lockhart."

Although I don't like him very much, now is obviously not the time to care about this.

"You take them there first, I'm going to inform Dumbledore."

"No need to bother, Minerva."

Dumbledore walked out from the corner with a serious expression, followed by Snape with an equally serious expression behind him.

Dumbledore first glanced at the writing on the wall with his blue eyes. After a moment of silence, he moved his gaze to the motionless Mrs. Norris in Fish's arms.

"I can't stay in my office anymore after something so serious happened."

He nodded calmly towards Lockhart, "Then, let's go to Gilderoy first."

"I'll lead the way!"

Lockhart looked very excited. He walked at the front with great dignity, leading everyone to his office.

Feishu, who was holding Mrs. Norris, narrowed his eyes...

He suddenly began to dislike Lockhart a little.

Several people walked into Lockhart's office. The walls were covered with his photos. Except for a few Lockharts with curlers who hid in panic, the other Lockharts showed their faces. Signature smile.

As the real Lockhart lit the candle, Dumbledore took Lady Norris from Fish, placed it on the table, and examined it carefully.

Professor McGonagall knelt down, put his arms around Fish, who was in a depressed mood, and patted his head gently.

"Don't worry, Fish, Albus will definitely be able to find a way."

"But..." Feishu pursed her lips, drooped her ears, and said in a tearful tone: "Loris has no life in her body..."

(._.)

Filch on the side heard this and cried sadly again. He slumped down on a chair, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed loudly, not daring to look at Mrs. Norris on the table.

"It must have been killed by a spell - probably a Transfiguration Curse. I've seen this spell used many times. It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time. I just happened to know the antidote, which could have saved it..."

Lockhart kept wandering around Dumbledore and chattering about it.

As he spoke, the photos of Lockhart on the wall all nodded in agreement.

Although what he said seemed to be a pity for Mrs. Norris, for some reason, Fish felt very uncomfortable listening to it...

So the kitten frowned and looked at Lockhart who was still talking there, and the tail behind him couldn't help but swung a few times.

"It's not dead, Argus."

Dumbledore, who finally finished the inspection, stood up and said softly, which made Lockhart, who was still bragging about how many murders he had prevented, stop instantly.

"It's just petrified." Dumbledore explained.

"Ah! I think so too!"

Lockhart immediately agreed, but no one paid attention to him at this time.

"Petrified?" Fish rushed to the table and looked at Dumbledore in confusion, "But Fish has seen people who were hit by this spell before, and they all still had life breath."

"It's not a common petrification spell like petrifying everyone, but a very advanced black magic."

Dumbledore frowned, "But I don't know what's going on..."

Fish tried to cast a rejuvenation spell on Mrs. Norris, but it didn't work. However, with this spell, he really sensed a very weak breath of life.

"Norris is really not dead!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish's ears immediately stood up again, and he quickly put his whole face on Mrs. Norris and felt it carefully again.

"I feel her breath of life, although it's very little, but Norris is really still alive!"

He turned his head and shouted happily to Filch and Professor McGonagall.

In addition to being happy that Mrs. Norris was not dead, Fish was also happy that...this matter had nothing to do with Ouroboros.

He thought Mrs. Norris was dead before, and immediately thought of what Kanaloa had said to him, that ordinary creatures would die if they saw the eyes of a basilisk.

The reason why Fish was in a low mood was that, in addition to being sad about the death of his good friend, he was still struggling whether to tell the story of Ouroboros.

Now that Mrs. Norris is alive, it means that it was not Ouroboros who did it, and Dumbledore just said that this is a kind of advanced black magic, so it is even more impossible that Ouroboros did it...

It doesn't even have hands, and it can't even hold a wand.

Dumbledore probably didn't know that the basilisk was locked in the chamber of secrets. Voldemort released it to kill Myrtle, and then locked it back and framed it for Hagrid.

As for the indirect petrification of seeing the eyes of the basilisk, Dumbledore probably didn't know it either. Newman wrote in "Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them" that "In Britain, there has been no record of seeing the basilisk for at least four hundred years."

In the original book, Harry even said in the textbook, "That's not necessarily true."

So it's normal that Dumbledore doesn't know some details about the basilisk.

In addition, when Voldemort communicated with Harry through the diary, he said, "The monster in the chamber of secrets attacked several students and killed one." This is obviously a lie.

If someone was attacked but not killed before killing Myrtle, then what was locked in the chamber of secrets should have been exposed long ago. How could no one know it after fifty years?
