Chapter 300: Overnight at the Leaky Cauldron

Although Fish has never lacked snacks, and he has tasted everything sold on the food cart on the Hogwarts Express, but...

The difference between candy and candy stores is still very different for children, not to mention Fish, a greedy little cat.

In addition, he had thought about spending the night at the Leaky Cauldron before, but was rejected by Professor McGonagall at the time. Fish didn't take it to heart afterwards, and now it's just the right time to fulfill this wish.

"Minerva~"

●ω●

"No problem."

Professor McGonagall agreed before the greedy cat spoke.

As she said before, she has always hoped that Fish can experience the normal process of entering Hogwarts.

And this year the Ministry of Magic has arranged Dementors outside Hogwarts, and she is busy welcoming new students. Professor McGonagall is worried that Fish, a little cat, will run around. It would be bad if he encounters Dementors when he sneaks out.

Although they might encounter Dementors when entering the school with others, they came in from outside and there were many people on the bus, so Dementors should not dare to mess around.

In fact, if possible, Professor McGonagall certainly hopes that Fish will take the Hogwarts Express next year or at some other time, but now that the cat has made this request, she is not going to refuse.

Although she dislikes it, Professor McGonagall still believes that Dementors are under the management of the Ministry of Magic, and as long as Fish stays with others, there will be no problem.

However, Professor McGonagall will not forget the necessary instructions.

"You can go to Hogwarts with everyone, but you can't run around. You must always follow Weasley and the others."

"Okay, meow!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish agreed immediately, which made everyone very happy... except Mr. Granger who was worried about his daughter.

Although Mr. Granger had a lot of opinions about Fish, in fact, Fish liked him very much.

After lunch, the kitten took the initiative to get in front of him and Mrs. Granger, staring at Mr. Granger's face with interest with a pair of big green eyes.

"What, what's wrong?"

Mr. Granger avoided Fish's gaze with a guilty conscience.

Mrs. Granger didn't think so much. She cheered excitedly and hugged Fish in her arms.

"What do you want to do with us, Fish?"

In the envious eyes of her daughter, Mrs. Granger kissed Fish hard, and then asked with a smile.

"Your teeth look beautiful, meow." Fish told the truth.

Except for Lockhart, the Granger family is the most beautiful and healthy teeth he has ever seen.

The kitten's words instantly tickled Mr. Granger's itch. The corners of his mouth began to rise uncontrollably, and his vigilance against Fish was almost lost.

"Hahahaha!" He laughed triumphantly, and then answered proudly: "Because I am a dentist."

"What is a dentist?"

ω

Fish, who was held in Mrs. Granger's arms, shook his ears and asked in confusion.

So Mr. Granger enthusiastically explained the profession of dentist to Fish, while Mrs. Granger was obsessed with petting cats and would add a few words from time to time.

Although Fish had been wandering in the Muggle world for a long time, he didn't know much about their lives. The kitten listened to such novel content very seriously.

Under the influence of Arthur Weasley, the Weasley family was also very interested in the things in the Muggle world and listened with relish.

Harry, who lived with Muggles, didn't find it new, but he only knew a little about dentists, so he didn't feel bored listening.

Only Hermione Granger looked at her mother who was obsessed with petting cats, feeling sad and angry...

Didn't she agree to help her get along with Fish? Why did she get close to cats? !

Fortunately, the Grangers, like Professor McGonagall, had things to do in the afternoon, so after chatting for a while, the two reluctantly left the Leaky Cauldron.

Professor McGonagall also left after giving Fish some more instructions and entrusting him to the Weasleys.

After lunch, Fish turned into a cat and climbed onto the roof of the bar to take a nap, and then walked around Diagon Alley with Harry and the others.

However, because tomorrow was the first day of school at Hogwarts, Diagon Alley was already a little deserted, and many shops closed early before the sun went down.

So after walking around for a while, everyone returned to the Leaky Cauldron and played the magic Monopoly made by George and Fred.

The magic chess made by the twins had already become popular in Hogwarts last year, but Fish had never been very interested in this kind of game before, but George said that as their salesperson, he needed to have a certain understanding of the product, so the kitten patiently played with everyone for a while...

Then the kitten really smelled it.

After playing it, this magic chess is quite interesting.

This time, they played until dinner time.

As night fell, everyone went downstairs to have dinner and then returned to their rooms...

"So boring..."

(●`Д●)

Fisch, who had nothing to do, lay on the bed in the guest room, rolling back and forth.

The kitten was not used to not having Professor McGonagall to tell him stories.

Just when Fish was considering whether to go find Harry and the others to continue playing chess, he heard a "tap, tap" sound outside the window of the room.

"Meow?"

Fish jumped up from the bed and ran to the window.

Outside the window, two black and white birds were knocking on the window glass with their beaks. Fish recognized this bird called magpie, and he had eaten it before.

Seeing Fish appear in front of the window, the two magpies not only did not leave, but chirped at him...

This is not surprising. As long as Fish does not actively express malice, most animals like to get close to him.

Besides...

"Animagus?"

⊙ω⊙

Feeling the life breath of these two magpies that far exceeds that of normal birds, Fish would naturally not be unfamiliar with this situation.

So the kitten reached out to open the window and let the two magpies in.

As the window opened, the two magpies immediately jumped in and landed on the table beside them.

"George, Fred? It's you!"

(●ω●)

Fish leaned over the table, rested his chin on the table, stared at the two magpies and said happily.

Although the smell of an Animagus will completely change to that of an animal after it turns into an animal, George and Fred ran to Fish right after they changed, and there was still a lot of human smell on their bodies. Fish, who had seen many Animagus, naturally recognized them at once.

"I can't hide it from you, Fish."

The twins turned back into human form and said with a smile.

They didn't intend to hide it from Fish, otherwise they wouldn't have come here directly.

"We haven't told anyone else about this, Fish, remember to keep it a secret for us."

The twins also planned to use this trick to deal with Snape and Flint after arriving at school.

"Don't worry, Fish is very tight-lipped!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

After getting Fish's assurance, the twins looked at each other, then sneaked up to his ear and whispered, "Fish, are you interested in going to Knockturn Alley with us?"

Recommendation ticket monthly ticket

Although the official has not clearly set the form of Animagus to be the same as the form of the Patronus, it is known that Professor McGonagall and James Potter are like this, so I just used it here.

Although the twins' Patronus was not mentioned in the original book, Rowling answered this question on Twitter, saying it was a magpie.

The following are the original words:

"Magpie. I remember I said it before? We have such a saying in the UK: "One sad, two happy", you may have heard of it. In addition, they are talkative thieves."

As for Crookshanks, in the original book, Hermione was going to buy an owl from the beginning.

It was just that Ron wanted to buy a tonic for Scabbers, and they were closer to the Magical Creatures Store at that time, so they went there, and then Hermione and Crookshanks fell in love.

Now that Banban has slipped away, according to normal logic, the first choice is of course the more professional Ella Owl Shop.

…

I have something to do tomorrow, so I have to take a day off.

Although there are still a few drafts in stock, they are a bit insufficient, so I will take a break first.
