Chapter 443 The Well-Behaved Cat

After knocking Malfoy away, Moody did not intend to let him go. He held his wand and limped towards the ferret lying on the ground. Crabbe and Goyle were frightened and stood aside and dared not move.

The ferret screamed in fear and turned its head to run towards the basement classroom.

"Don't try to escape!" Moody roared, and pointed his wand at the ferret again, suddenly raising Malfoy to a height of ten feet in the air.

"Stop it, meow!"

(`ω)

Fish suddenly jumped out to stop Professor Moody's behavior.

Before, Professor Moody attacked Malfoy, but Mao Mao didn't care, because in his opinion, Moody's behavior just now was acceptable, just like he would be punished by Professor McGonagall after getting into trouble.

After all, it was Professor McGonagall who adopted Fish, and Mao Mao had been in Hogwarts for so long. No matter how indifferent he was, he would have a basic concept of the responsibilities of a professor.

However, in the cat's mind, the only professors who can punish him are Minerva or the guy who can beat him, and Malfoy deserves to be turned into a ferret because he can't beat Moody.

This is the cat's simple and plain idea.

But no matter what, Malfoy is his friend after all, and after he was turned into a ferret, he had already admitted his defeat and ran away. It was unnecessary for Moody to continue to beat him, and Fish naturally couldn't sit back and watch.

"Draco has already admitted defeat, meow, you can't bully him anymore!"

(ˇˇ)

Fisch stopped in front of Professor Moody and said seriously.

Little Barty looked at the cat-eared boy who suddenly jumped out, and his face became gloomy.

He didn't want to conflict with Fish. After a whole day of inquiries, Little Barty already knew how popular Fish was in Hogwarts. If he clashed with him and caused Harry to dislike him, then his plan might not be implemented.

However, Barty was a little unwilling to retreat like this.

Because he didn't want to let Malfoy go so easily, and he also thought this was a good opportunity to teach Fitz a lesson. Besides, the Mad-Eye Moody he pretended to be was not a good person to talk to.

So Barty made a decision immediately after his mind raced.

"Don't try to order me!"

He shook his wand and threw Malfoy to the ground.

Fitz quickly turned around, caught the falling ferret, stuffed him into Goyle's arms, and then glared at Professor Moody angrily.

(°°)

"You can't stop me!"

Professor Moody roared again, and pointed his wand at the ferret in Goyle's arms again.

Goyle screamed, and he found that the ferret in his hand showed signs of breaking free, so he quickly increased his strength and held Malfoy tightly.

Just when he was about to lose the ferret in his arms, he suddenly felt a red light flash in front of him, and the ferret that was about to slip out of his hand suddenly became quiet.

In the eyes of other students watching, a layer of red light first appeared on the palm of Fish's hand, and then he made a downward chopping motion towards the air between Professor Moody and Goyle, and sparks burst out from Professor Moody's wand, and he himself seemed to be punched on the chin, stumbling backwards for several steps.

"If you don't stop, Fish will beat you up!"

(`ω)

Mao Mao waved his fist, which was still glowing red, at Professor Moody, who barely stood up, and warned him.

After Professor McGonagall's tireless guidance and education over the years, and the influence of TV and Hermione during the summer vacation, Fish has become much more obedient than before. If it was the year before, he would not have such a good temper and would have punched him long ago.

To be honest, Fish hoped that the other party would continue to be tough, so that he could fight with him legitimately.

Mao Mao shook his tail and stared at Moody eagerly.

Moody's blue magic eye spun around for a few times, and then stared at Fish's hand, which was emitting a faint red light.

Is this Fish McGonagall's special spell...

Barty stared at the red light on Fish's hand, his expression a little surprised.

Although he had heard Voldemort and Pettigrew mention Fish's "innate spell", he still couldn't stay calm when he really saw it, especially with Moody's magic eye, he could clearly see that Fish's spell was fundamentally different from the spells used by wizards today.

No wonder the master wanted to subdue this little wizard.

Barty thought to himself.

"Fish! Professor Moody!" Just as the two were in a stalemate, Professor McGonagall's exclamation came from the stairs, "What are you doing?!"

She hurried down the stairs with a pile of books in her arms and came to the side of the cat.

"Minerva~"

●ω●

Fish removed the red light in his hand, hugged Professor McGonagall, then turned around and pointed at the ferret in Goyle's arms, complaining: "Moody wants to bully Draco, and Fish is stopping him meow!"

"Draco?" Professor McGonagall looked at the ferret in surprise and exclaimed: "Is that Malfoy?!"

"Yes meow." Fish nodded.

"That's right." Moody also answered calmly.

"Oh my God!"

Professor McGonagall exclaimed again, letting the books in her arms fall to the ground, and pulled out her wand.

A moment later, with a loud crack, Draco Malfoy recovered. He pushed away Goyle's hand that was supporting him, lowered his head with a flushed face, and shot out a vicious look from the gap between his messy light golden hair, piercing Professor Moody.

"Moody, we never use Transfiguration as punishment!" Professor McGonagall said weakly: "Professor Dumbledore must have told you?"

"He probably mentioned it," Moody scratched his chin nonchalantly and said: "But I think someone needs to teach this kid how to respect professors."

"Wait..." Professor McGonagall widened her eyes, "You mean, Malfoy didn't violate the school rules?"

Professor McGonagall was also clear about Malfoy's attitude towards most professors. Although she didn't like it, she didn't think it was a big deal.

But she didn't expect that Professor Moody would make such a fuss over such a small matter. She just thought it was the cat making trouble again...

Little Barty also knew that his reaction just now was a little abnormal, but Moody's temper was originally irritable, and he soon thought of a good excuse.

"He should be glad that this is in Hogwarts," he sneered, "I have always regretted not being able to send Lucius Malfoy to Azkaban."

"Enough! Moody!" Professor McGonagall scolded sternly: "You have retired! You are a professor at Hogwarts now! Please remember this!"

"...I know."

Little Barty originally just wanted to make his behavior more reasonable, not really wanting to make trouble, so he took advantage of the situation, nodded to Professor McGonagall, then glanced at Malfoy, and limped to his office.

Seeing that Moody didn't go crazy, Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that he would continue to make trouble. Not only would it be a blow to the school's image, but the little cat beside her had been eager to try it...

Professor McGonagall glanced at Fitz beside her, and saw that the cat's tail was swinging quickly from side to side, and a look of regret was clearly revealed on its tense little face.

"Well done," Professor McGonagall thought for a while, and still patted Fitz on the head and praised him, and explained to him and other students: "Professor Moody used to be an Auror, and has been dealing with dark wizards, so he is not used to being a professor."

She looked at Malfoy with a face full of resentment, sighed and said: "I will tell Dumbledore and Professor Snape about this, and he will not do this again in the future."

Malfoy pursed his lips, nodded to Professor McGonagall, and then thanked Fitz in a low voice, and then left the hall with Crabbe and Goyle.

Professor McGonagall sighed again, then waved her wand to let the scattered books fly back into her arms, and dispersed the students around her.

In the original text, when Malfoy was turned into a ferret and escaped, Moody said "I don't believe this evil", but this sentence is very abrupt here, and it feels that it has nothing to do with the context.

Then I went to read the original English version, and the original text was "I don't think so", and it was okay to translate it into "I don't believe this evil".

But combined with the above text, it seems more appropriate to translate it into a mocking tone like "I don't think you can escape". If it is to follow the following text, it should be similar to "I don't approve of your behavior", and then "I hate people who attack others behind their backs the most".

Of course, I am not a translator, so this is a personal opinion of an outsider. Maybe this is the language habit of the British. Anyway, it's just a small problem. ┑(￣Д￣)┍

……

At first I wrote that the cat would beat up the fake Moody, but considering that the cat should be more sensible now, it would take a legitimate reason for the action, so I changed it.
