Chapter 289 Travel Plan

After eating two bags of snacks to stop feeling hungry, Fish got Professor McGonagall's consent and left the Chamber of Secrets happily with the basilisk.

Professor McGonagall and the others did not stay in the Chamber of Secrets for long, and followed Dumbledore to the principal's office.

"Professor Dumbledore..."

As soon as he entered the principal's office, Newt Scamander hesitated and said, "Is Fish really just a natural Animagus?"

He looked at Professor McGonagall apologetically, knowing that it was too rude to ask this question, but the ability Fish showed could not be explained by a natural Animagus.

In addition, Newt's special talent in animals made him realize that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but remind him.

Moreover, as a magical zoologist, Newt Scamander was not short of curiosity and a spirit of inquiry, so he was also very interested in Fish's situation.

Professor McGonagall smiled indifferently.

As a master of Transfiguration, if she said that she had no doubts about Fish's identity, it was obviously underestimating Professor McGonagall's professional level. It was just as she had said to Fish before, Professor McGonagall didn't care whether he was a human or a cat, anyway, he was a child of the McGonagall family.

"Is this important, Newt?"

Dumbledore also looked unconcerned. He asked cheerfully and winked at Newt playfully.

"Well... it seems that I am meddling."

Seeing the two of them like this, Newt shook his head knowingly, knowing that they already had an idea in their hearts.

Yes, it doesn't matter whether he is born an Animagus or not. Little Fish is such a cute child... Although he may be a little naughty, there is nothing to worry about. It is normal for children to be naughty.

After solving the basilisk problem, the Scamander family stayed in Hogsmeade for a few more days. Fish also took them to the Forbidden Forest for a walk and introduced them to his animal friends...

He also introduced Ouroboros by the way.

Although the basilisk has been shrunk and its eyes are covered with a layer of contact lenses of the curled wing magic card, most magical animals are still very afraid of it.

The centaurs showed a very friendly attitude, and even said mysteriously that Ouroboros would become a "friend of nature" like Fluffy in the future.

In addition, although the snake eyes of Ouroboros have been weakened several times, they are not completely ineffective. Some magical animals with weak magic resistance, and young wizards like Rolf who have weak magic power and are not so proficient in magic control, will still feel their bodies become stiff when looking at it.

However, it is just the body that feels stiff, and it will not really become petrified. Moreover, as long as you can look away and stop looking at the basilisk, you can recover immediately.

The most interesting thing is...

Fish found that no matter what type of spider it is, it is very sensitive to the breath of the basilisk, and will flee in a hurry as soon as it senses its approach.

Then the kitten rushed into the nest of the giant spiders with Ouroboros hanging on it, and chased them around...

Who made them chase him around because of their large numbers?

Cats are very vengeful!

The Scamander family stayed in Hogsmeade for about ten days before reluctantly saying goodbye to Fish.

The kitten was also very reluctant to leave, because...

As soon as the guests left, Professor McGonagall would force him to do his summer homework...

In addition to the homework that gave the cat a headache, Fish would occasionally receive letters from some good friends, most of which invited Fish to visit their homes during the summer vacation.

Unfortunately, because Professor McGonagall did not allow Fish to bring Ouroboros, Fish had no choice but to reject all of them.

Among these letters, the one that Fish cared about most was Harry's letter, because last summer vacation, he was locked up at home by his uncle's family and was not allowed to contact the outside world.

Thanks to Firth who beat up the fat man named Vernon, they dared not to imprison Harry anymore.

After learning from Harry's letter and Hedwig that Harry was doing well, Firth was relieved, and then handed Hedwig a card with a cat's paw print and asked her to take it back to Harry.

Not only Harry, but also everyone's reply, Firth prepared this kind of card...

Anyway, don't expect the cat to write extra words!

Because he didn't visit other people's homes, and Firth's writing skills and homework experience have also improved, his progress in summer homework this year is much faster than last year.

It hasn't even been a month, and Firth's summer homework has been almost completed.

During this period, Professor McGonagall took him to several gatherings of the Animagus Club. Firth met several new Animagus, and there were more people who sent him snacks.

"Minerva~"

●ω●

After reading the letters in recent days, Firth ran to Professor McGonagall.

"Take Fish out for a trip sometime!"

"Hmm?"

Professor McGonagall put down the quill in her hand and looked at the kitten curiously.

Of course there is no problem taking Fish out for a trip. Professor McGonagall has actually considered this aspect.

But she thinks that Fish is still too noisy now. If he makes trouble when she takes him out, it will not be a pleasant thing.

In addition, she was also a little curious about why Feishi suddenly proposed to travel.

"Why do you suddenly want to travel?" Professor McGonagall asked directly.

Then she saw Feishi raised the letter in his hand and replied: "Ron wrote to say that his father won a prize and they took the prize money to travel to Egypt. He also said that he would definitely see a lot of new and interesting things. Send me a gift in a few days!"

(●ω●)

There is no need to explain more now. Obviously, the cat heard that there were new and interesting things and his curiosity was aroused.

"Take you out for a trip... There is no problem," Professor McGonagall nodded calmly at first, and then changed the subject, "But it depends on your performance in school this year. If you perform well, I will take you out to play next summer vacation."

Next summer vacation is the quadrennial Quidditch World Cup. Even if Feishi doesn't say it, as an avid Quidditch fan, Professor McGonagall will take Feishi to watch the game. It's a good opportunity to make some conditions to the kitten.

As for the fact that Fich was not very interested in Quidditch, and that England would be the host next year...

Anyway, she didn't say where she was going to take Fich to travel, so at most she could find a way to compensate the cat later.

Fich didn't know that his mother McGonagall was fooling him again. He was confidently beating his chest and assuring, "Minerva, don't worry! Fich will be good!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Perhaps inspired by Professor McGonagall's promise, in the next few days, Fich took the initiative to finish all the remaining summer homework, including the paper on burning witches in the 14th century in the History of Magic.

And after completing the homework, the kitten didn't make any trouble. As usual, besides eating and drinking in Hogsmeade, he asked Comey to send him back to Hogwarts to play with his animal companions.

On the contrary, Professor McGonagall suddenly became busy as July was about to pass. During the day, Firth often did not see her at home. Even when she came back from outside at night, she looked worried...

Even when she was telling stories to Firth, she became absent-minded and perfunctory.

"Minerva, what's wrong with you?"

(●ω●)

Firth tugged at Professor McGonagall's robe and asked worriedly. She had repeated the story of Grandpa Newt using Thunderbird to make rain three times, and was now repeating it for the fourth time.

"Ah... Sorry, Fish, Mom seems to be a little uncomfortable. Let's stop here today."

Professor McGonagall came back to her senses, pinched her nose, and whispered to Fish: "Go find your friends to play."

The kitten heard this and first gave Professor McGonagall a rejuvenation spell, and then suggested: "Why don't we go to school to find Grandma Poppy to see you?"

"No need to trouble Madam Pomfrey," Professor McGonagall smiled and rubbed Fish's head, "I'll be fine after a rest."

"Are you really okay, meow?"

(ˇˇ)

"Don't worry, it's really okay."

Professor McGonagall turned Fish around, then gently pushed his back, urging: "Go play by yourself, let Mom rest for a while."

Fearing to disturb Professor McGonagall's rest, Fish could only walk out of her room with his head back every few steps, and then thought about it, trotted to the living room, and found a copy of the Daily Prophet from the stack of newspapers on the coffee table.

If Fish remembered correctly, Professor McGonagall became busy and sad after seeing this newspaper and a letter.

Spreading out the newspaper in his hand, Fich saw the headline of this issue at a glance - Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban!

Fich scratched his head. If he remembered correctly, Azkaban should be a place used to imprison wizards who did bad things.

Could it be that Minerva has a headache recently because of this man?

The kitten looked at the haggard man with long and messy hair in the newspaper, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Reading down along the title, the fierce light in Fich's eyes became more and more intense...

This skinny and haggard guy turned out to be the subordinate of the big bad guy Voldemort, and he also killed more than a dozen Muggles and a wizard.

Fich flipped through the other contents of the newspaper again and confirmed that Professor McGonagall was troubled by this man named Black.

But...

What does this bad guy's escape from prison have to do with Minerva?

The kitten scratched his cat head in confusion.

According to the setting in the movie Fantastic Beasts, Professor McGonagall also taught Newt, but as I said before, according to the calculation in the original text, Professor McGonagall was born in 1935, and Newt's official setting was born in 1897…

In Fantastic Beasts 2, Professor McGonagall appeared as a teacher at Hogwarts, but in the original book, Dumbledore captured the first generation of the Dark Lord in 1945, and at that time Professor McGonagall might not have received the admission letter from Hogwarts…
