Chapter 264 White Lies
[Stride] [Sprint] [Move freely] [Leopard's Swiftness]
Fish, with his acceleration spell fully activated, was like a black shadow, rushing all the way from the eighth floor to the statue of the gargoyle on the third floor.
Thanks to the fact that it was curfew time, most students stayed in their dormitories, and Fish didn't encounter those few students who sneaked out for night walks.
But even if they meet, it doesn't matter much. Many people have seen Feishu in cat form running as fast as possible, so they can easily guess who this black figure is.
"Meow!"
(●ΦДΦ●)
Quickly opening the entrance with his own special password, Fish didn't have time to wait for the spiral staircase to slowly turn upwards on its own. He crossed several steps in one step, and soon he jumped to the top, and then hit with a "bang" Opened the gleaming oak door.
"唳——!"
"Wow!"
Fawkes, who was sitting on the perch behind the door, and Dumbledore, who was looking at documents at his desk, were both startled.
"Fish? What's the matter?"
Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses, which were tilted due to fright, and asked with a smile. At the same time, he cast his eyes thoughtfully at the tattered black diary in Fish's hand.
"Snapped!"
Fish threw the diary in his hand to the ground, pointed at it and said loudly: "Albus! I caught Voldemort, meow! He is hiding in here, meow!"
After saying that, he clenched his fists and stared at the diary he threw on the ground fiercely and vigilantly. The cat ears on his head were pressed into the shape of an airplane wing, and the tail behind him exploded into a big brush.
"ha--!"
(●`Д●)
"oh?"
Dumbledore quickly stood up from his seat. While putting on armor to protect himself and Fish, he also stood in front of him. Fawkes also flew over and circled the diary on the ground.
On the wall, the portraits of the principals who were pretending to be sleeping also opened their eyes and looked at the black diary that Fish had thrown on the ground.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
Dumbledore stared at the diary on the ground with vigilance, and at the same time with Fish behind him, he asked calmly.
Although he roughly understood what was going on when he saw Fish saying that Voldemort was hiding in the diary, he could not rule out that Fish was already under Voldemort's control at this time and was looking for an opportunity to plot against him.
"That's it, meow..."
(●ΦΦ●)
Fish didn't realize that Dumbledore was wary of him, and while continuing to stare at the diary on the ground, he quickly explained to Dumbledore.
Although Xiaomao's description is a bit long-winded, and the pieces are a bit broken, he still roughly explains how he obtained the diary, how he discovered that he could talk to the diary, and finally how he found the other party intelligently. It was probably Voldemort, and he had told Dumbledore everything about the false accusation against Hagrid.
"Is it really a Horcrux..."
After listening to Fish's explanation, Dumbledore murmured quietly, and then he looked at Fish carefully.
Although Fish's performance was very natural, this did not completely prove that he did not have any problems now. After Dumbledore's blue eyes flickered for a few times, he confirmed to Fish: "Fish, you shouldn't mind if I check it out." What's your situation?"
"Meow?"
The little cat was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Dumbledore, the evil old man, meant.
"Feishu is not controlled, meow!"
(●`Д●)
Fish protested angrily to Dumbledore, and then agreed with a look of displeasure before the other party could continue.
"If you want to check it out, hurry up. Feishu is not afraid of your inspection, meow! Humph!"
(〃`3〃)
Although the bad old man was angry that he doubted himself, but thinking that Professor McGonagall cried because he misunderstood that he was being controlled, Fish would naturally choose to cooperate to prove his innocence.
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Fish to be so cooperative, but soon a kind smile appeared on his face, obviously he understood the reason why Fish did this.
"Feisheng is such a good boy... Oops!"
Dumbledore couldn't help but reach out and touch the kitten's head...
Then he was bitten hard by Feixu.
"Aww!"
(●`Pan●)
Dumbledore retracted his hand sarcastically, and then cast several detection spells on Fish. After confirming that he was really not under control, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to pick up the diary on the ground.
"Albus, is this okay?"
(●ΦΦ●)
Fish poked his head out from behind him and continued to stare at the diary with his ears pressed down.
"Don't worry, this is not Voldemort himself. As long as you are not confused by him, there will be no danger."
The little cat tilted its head, then shook its ears.
"Fix just heard you talking about a Horcrux, what is it?"
"ah……"
Dumbledore smiled bitterly and tugged on his beard. He had been focusing on his diary just now, but he accidentally muttered something and Fish heard it.
But after hesitating for a while, he decided to tell Fish. After all, this little cat is very curious and can always find some little secrets. Instead of letting him risk being confused to find the answer, it is better to tell him early and let him prepare.
But before that...
"Well, wait until I call Minerva first, and then tell you. This matter cannot be hidden from her."
Dumbledore dared not hide anything from Professor McGonagall about Fish now.
"Meow!"
∑(●ΦДΦ●)
Hearing that Dumbledore was going to call Professor McGonagall, the kitten immediately shrank his neck, then he reached out and pulled Dumbledore's robe, and rubbed his head against the other's arm in a flattering way.
"Albus, can you tell Minerva that you found the diary, meow?"
(●ω●)
After all, Fish still took the risk to check Voldemort's memory. If Professor McGonagall knew, he might be beaten up again. This is why he took the diary to Dumbledore first.
Unfortunately, the bad old man shook his head coldly and said, "No, I don't want to make Minerva angry."
"But, if you tell Minerva about this, she will be angry..."
Fish persuaded with confidence: "As long as Minerva doesn't know that this diary was found by Fish, there is no reason to be angry, meow!"
"But...what if Minerva finds out..."
Dumbledore didn't want to help Fish, the key is that Professor McGonagall was too scary when she got angry last time.
"As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, Minerva won't know meow!"
(●ω●)
Seeing that Dumbledore was about to give in, Fish started to act like a spoiled child even more vigorously, staring at him with a pair of big eyes, begging pitifully.
"Well..."
Dumbledore, who rarely enjoyed the little cat's coquetry, fell into a dilemma.
"Grandpa Albus, please help me. Fish doesn't want to be spanked by Minerva anymore."
(●QωQ●)
Dumbledore, who had never experienced the kitten's pitiful tricks, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly and agreed: "Okay, but you must not let it slip."
Although it was a bit unfair to Professor McGonagall to do so, the Horcrux had been found anyway, and Voldemort could not make any waves, so telling a white lie should not be a big deal.
And to be honest, Fish was really tight-lipped. Before this, he didn't know that the kitten had hidden so many secrets!
Hearing Dumbledore agree, Fish smiled. He rubbed his arm a few more times, and then said confidently: "Don't worry, Fish is very tight-lipped!"
