Chapter 134: Scared the Cat! (Edited)

After sending Norberto away, school life for Harry and the others was quiet again.

But Fish and Hermione had a new problem...

"Why are you giving Fish so many books? There's nothing Fish hates more than reading books." ?(●ΦДΦ●)?

When Sharpay, along with a group of girls, shoved a thick book into Fish's arms, his little brain was completely stunned.

What suffering!

I'm just a poor little kitten, why are you doing this to me?!

Especially when Fish looked at the top of the book, "Atlas of Canine and Feline Anatomy," and the pictures of cat and dog skeletons on the cover, the hairs on his tail stood up in horror!

"Bad girls! I'm going to tell Minerva,,, meow!". ?(●｀Д′●)?

The book was so scary that Fish picked it up, threw it down and ran out of the Common Room screaming, even with a little scream in his voice.

The little cat was really scared.

"Her~~my~~one~~~~!!!"

Sharpay and the others looked at Hermione with eyes that practically ate at her.

In fact, it wasn't until after Fish ran out of the common room that Hermione slowly realized what was going on: she had joined the other muggle-born witches in giving the Gryffindor girls a general introduction to what the so-called science books were.

It was obvious that they had found a way to buy science books from Muggle society.

But if they had given Fish a stack of books, she would have run away, since they knew she didn't like reading....

The only thing that puzzled Hermione was Fish's strange attitude, even if he hated reading, he didn't seem as frightened as he was now, and he even turned to Professor McGonagall to accuse them.

These women don't think I'm cheating on them, do they?

Seeing the looks on Sharpay and the others' faces, Hermione thought it would be best to calm the madwomen down first....

"Wait! There must be some kind of misunderstanding here!" yelled Hermione as she dropped the book she was holding and took three steps towards the book Fish had thrown and flipped through it.

"The Cat Wasn't Intentional," "The Coloring Book of Over 250 Cats in the World," "Bloch's Hand-Illustrated Atlas of Fish," "Face to Face with the Cheetah," "Notes on the Errors of the Sea," "The High Hunters: Felines...."

To be fair, Hermione hadn't read all of those books, but overall, they were all pretty standard, so how on earth had Fish freaked out?

With much confusion, Hermione turned to the book at the bottom of the stack, "Atlas of Canine and Feline Anatomy."

"..."

Hermione looked at Sharpay and the others, who were looking at her angrily, and handed them the book in her hand.

Sharpay took the book and looked at the cover.

"..."

"Who the hell bought this?"

Sharpay couldn't maintain her elegance any longer, and frantically threw the book to the ground.

What a stupid teammate, how could there be such a stupid teammate?

After a few moments of silence, a girl with big black-rimmed glasses, who looked a little silly, came out with a smile on her face.

"Yes, I bought it..."

The silly girl said cautiously to Sharpay, "Didn't you say, Sharpay, that the best thing to do is to try to pick out books about cats?"

Sharpay was speechless, she had planned to lead the group to do the same as Hermione and send a book about fish, to please Fish.

Little did she know that one of them would send her a book about dissecting cats, completely derailing her plans, And now Fish had a misunderstanding because of this idiot... Why didn't they assign her to Hufflepuff in the first place?

But there was no point in going on about it now, so Sharpay sighed, waved her hand in disinterest, turned her head and went back to her dorm.

The rest of the group of witches looked at each other and then dispersed as well.

"Minerva!"

Fish ran frantically after Professor McGonagall and threw herself into her arms, shaking his head and pouting.

"What is it, Fish?"

Professor McGonagall, who had rarely seen Fish in such a state of panic, took his little head in her hands and asked gently.

"Sister Canary and the girls are scaring me!" (〃｀3′〃)

Fish puffed out his cheeks and complained to Professor McGonagall.

As the leader of Fish's tutoring class, Sharpay didn't need to pull any tricks, Fish was already impressed with her.

"Evans? Are they scaring you?"

Professor McGonagall looked incredulous, she knew about the tutoring group Sharpay had organized for Fish, so Professor McGonagall couldn't believe they were scaring him.

But Fish didn't seem to be lying.

"How did they scare you?" asked Professor McGonagall patiently.

Fish: "They brought Fish a bunch of books, including one on how to stuff cats, AND it was horrible!" ?(●qДq●)?

"A book on cat dissection..."

The corners of Professor McGonagall's mouth twisted twice, knowing that Hermione had given Fish the "World Feline Encyclopedia", she could probably guess what was going on.

It was only when Professor McGonagall discovered that one of her students had given Fish a book on cat dissection... that she felt more than a little embarrassed to be the dean of Gryffindor.

As much as she wanted to bring the silly girl in for a reprimand, Professor McGonagall knew she was trying to please Fish, but she was just acting a little out of character, and the most important thing right now was to calm the kitten down.

"They weren't trying to scare you," Professor McGonagall said softly, crouching down in front of Fish, "Remember that book Hermione gave you? When they found out you liked it, they bought you some books in the same genre, only one of the girls bought the wrong book..."

After Professor McGonagall's patient explanation, Fish finally understood that Sharpay and the girls hadn't meant to scare him.

Seeing that Fish had calmed down, but still seemed terrified, Professor McGonagall picked him up and sat him on her lap, took out her storybook, and read Fish a new fairy tale in a soft voice.

Instead of reverting to his cat form, as he had done before, Fish remained sitting in Professor McGonagall's arms, arms around her neck, leaning on her shoulder, listening quietly to the story.

"Minerva, can I sleep with you today?" ?●w●?

After a story, Fish, sitting on Professor McGonagall's lap, pouted, as today's anatomical drawing had terrified him and he instinctively wanted to stay by Professor McGonagall's side.

"Okay, but then, you can't run off tonight."

Professor McGonagall kissed Fish on the cheek and agreed.

"No problem, meow, I'll be here listening to Minerva's stories!". ?(●ΦwΦ●)?

Fish wasn't going to the Forbidden Forest today, not even to the kitchen for a snack.

Professor McGonagall rubbed Fish's little head and cat ears and continued reading to him.

With Professor McGonagall's soft voice, Fish, who was in her arms, slowly fell asleep.

Even as he slept, the tip of his tail wagged behind him from time to time, which, in cat body language, signifies relaxation, leisure, pleasure, and. complacency.

Because...

He didn't do his homework today!
