Chapter 227 When the Cat Starts to Work Hard
In fact, Professor McGonagall didn't care about the fight between Fluffy and Kanaloa. After all, she didn't hear that Fish had instigated the two to fight.
The reason why she came to hold Fish responsible was simply to make Fish behave at night.
Although the murderer had not appeared since Mrs. Norris was attacked, and Dumbledore was still secretly following Fish, as an old mother, Professor McGonagall was still worried about Fish's safety.
So now, as soon as she had a chance, she ran out to put Fish in confinement so that he could behave himself at night.
As for Dumbledore's plan to follow Fish and use his keen perception to find some clues?
It's none of my business!
Compared with the safety of the cat, she didn't care whether Fish could find anything.
However, Professor McGonagall also knew that she couldn't put Fish in confinement for a whole semester. The key was to find the so-called successor to the Chamber of Secrets.
But she still thought that she could delay it for a few days. After all, Fish's night tours had decreased, and the chance of being attacked would also decrease.
At this time, Fish couldn't understand Professor McGonagall's painstaking efforts. He argued with his neck stiff, "What does it have to do with Fish?! The ones fighting were Fluffy and Kanaloa!"
(●ΦДΦ●)
Fish certainly chose not to mention the fact that he instigated the two giants to fight. Anyway, other people couldn't understand what Fluffy and Kanaloa were saying.
"Who told you to bring Fluffy to meet the giant squid?"
In order to put Fish in confinement, Professor McGonagall even chose to make trouble. She pinched Fish's face again, and then dragged his arm into the castle.
"Anyway, starting from tomorrow, you will be put in confinement for three days!"
"Meow! Minerva, you are such a bad guy!"
(●`Д●)
For Fish, confinement is actually no big deal. Anyway, he has the privilege, but he has been busy looking for the murderer who attacked Mrs. Norris recently, so naturally he doesn't want to be hindered by the confinement.
If his attempt to transform into a kitten had not been successful, Fich would have wanted to fight Professor McGonagall again.
But after evaluating the fighting power of both sides, the self-aware kitten chose to give in and let Professor McGonagall drag him back angrily.
...
The three-day confinement passed quickly. For Fich, confinement was not much different from usual, except that there would be Professor McGonagall watching him.
As for the clues about the Chamber of Secrets, Fich had not been able to find them. The kitten, who had no patience to begin with, was about to give up.
Anyway, once the mandrake from Professor Sprout matured, Mrs. Norris could be rescued. Then he could just ask it directly. So after another two days of persistence, Fich started running to the Forbidden Forest again.
Similar to Fich's idea, the hot topic of the Chamber of Secrets gradually faded away among other students at Hogwarts after it lasted for a while.
In addition to the shocking battle of the giant beasts by the Black Lake a while ago, the upcoming Hogwarts Quidditch Cup has replaced this topic.
Under the boasting of Malfoy and other Slytherin players, all the teachers and students in the school know that all of them are equipped with Nimbus 2001 this year.
The students of the other three colleges are indignant about this, so recently everyone has been cheering for Gryffindor, the champion of the previous term.
But the students of Slytherin don't care.
Anyway, they have been targeted by the other three colleges before, but they still dominated the Quidditch championship for so many years.
Now they have seven Nimbus 2001s in their hands, and they don't know how they will lose.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Fish. I don't know why, he just can't get much interest in Quidditch, even if Professor McGonagall is crazy about putting private goods in the stories she tells him, saying how popular and respected Quidditch players are.
Does Fish still lack people to like him? Humph!
(〃`3〃)
…
Time soon arrived on Saturday again. This day was the day when the first Quidditch match officially started. Most of the Gryffindor students went to the stadium to cheer for Harry and his friends.
Only Firth was lying lazily in the dormitory, fiddling with a pot of dancing grass on the bedside.
If it were normal, Firth would not mind going to the stadium to cheer for Harry and his friends, but today's weather was stuffy and humid, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the sky. According to Firth's experience, it would rain heavily soon, and he would not go out to suffer that.
Sure enough, not long after, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the windows of the dormitory, making crackling sounds.
Firth, in cat form, jumped onto the windowsill, found a place to squat and sat down, leisurely watching the rain outside the window.
After watching the rain for a while, Firth jumped off the windowsill again, then walked out of the dormitory and came to the Gryffindor common room.
The lounge, which was very lively most of the time, was now empty. Feishi opened a music box and released the golden snitch from his pocket, fluttering around in the lounge accompanied by the cheerful music.
After playing for a while, Feishi turned into a cat-man and picked up the book "The World Cat Encyclopedia" to read.
Feishi never gave up the idea of turning into a black-footed cat. While reading about the black-footed cat, he was still recalling his experience of turning into a clouded leopard.
The clouded leopard form was gradually awakened when Feishi was fighting with the group of big spiders because he didn't have enough strength and wanted to grow bigger quickly.
In the end, he succeeded in transforming in the battle after giving up most of his magic.
Regardless of the size, the black-footed cat is much more powerful than the clouded leopard in terms of hunting ability.
So...
Am I going to catch mice and birds in the Forbidden Forest?
Feishi cast his eyes in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
In addition to those magical creatures, there are also ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants in the Forbidden Forest, and most of them are not very intelligent, so Feishi has no psychological barriers to catching them.
Feishi closed the book and took out his wand.
It is obviously not suitable to go hunting in the Forbidden Forest on this rainy day, but he has practiced Transfiguration for so long.
(●ΦωΦ●)つ━☆*
Waving his wand at an ornament in the lounge, Feishi turned it into a big rat that was not much smaller than his original size. However, he was not satisfied with this. He waved his wand a few more times, and turned into three rats and two pigeons in total. Then he returned to his original form and chased them around the lounge.
Although Feishi did not use any spells in the process of hunting, his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary cats, so the few "prey" he turned into were caught by him in a short time.
Realizing that this had no effect, Feishi thought for a moment, then slapped the prey with a leopard's swiftness, and then let them go.
After being enhanced by Feishi, the prey's escape speed suddenly increased a lot, making Feishi's hunting work extremely difficult.
The result was that Feishi did not find the key to transform into a black-footed cat, but he messed up the public lounge.
"Meow..."
⊙ω⊙
Fish looked at the lounge that had been completely changed, tilted his head and hesitated for a moment...
Then he ran back to the dormitory to sleep.
Of course, he could use spells such as the repair spell to restore the messed-up lounge to its original state, but...
There was no need.
Anyway, Professor McGonagall would not come to check the dormitory environment, and at night, Comey and others would naturally come to tidy up the dormitory. He had done similar things before, but this time the noise was a little louder.
So Fish didn't take it to heart at all.
When the Gryffindors returned to the dormitory, they saw a scene like a typhoon passing through.
Professor McGonagall had often encountered this scene before, and the members of the Weasley family had the honor of seeing it a few times, but it was the first time for others to see it... the real destructive power of Fish when he was in a rage.

About the fact that the unicorn did not react to the diary.
First of all, the concealment of Horcruxes is very high. Umbridge wore Horcruxes as jewelry and stayed in the Ministry of Magic for so long without being discovered. I even think that even Dumbledore could not detect the existence of Horcruxes without special detection.
And if unicorns react to diaries, they should actively attack Harry as soon as they see the humanoid Horcrux.
In addition, the setting that unicorns are very sensitive to evil auras is a setting added later by domestic fantasy literature.
In Western mythology, unicorns represent nobility and purity, and their relationship with light is only later. Even in the early days, unicorns appeared as a kind of beast, and then gradually turned into kind creatures.
The official setting of unicorns in HP is that they are pure, friendly, powerful, and will be cursed if they are harmed. The horns only have the effect of healing and detoxification, and expelling evil is my personal setting.
So it is normal that there is no reaction to the diary.
