Chapter 202: To the point of madness (Edited)

Fish was unaware of Voldemort's anger and frustration, which is Ginny on the outside and Tom on the inside.

After entering the Menesters' Room, he changed back to the appearance of a kitten, digging into the cat climbing frame inside and having a great time.

"Nya!"

(=｀Д=)

Fish rolled down the cat slide with a rattan ball in his paws, and then furiously jumped on it, scratching and biting it, and kicking it with his hind legs.

Then, as he kicked, Fish's hind leg accidentally kicked him, and he immediately dropped the little ball of rattan and began to struggle with his hind leg....

Ginny, who was under Voldemort's control, had her chest fluttered a couple of times.

Did I actually lose last semester to a little wizard who only knows how to play?!

Like the straw that broke the camel's back, Voldemort's already shaky mental state crumbled and he barely managed to keep his grip on Ginny.

Voldemort wanted to pull out his wand and cast the Killing Curse on Fish, but he knew that with Ginny's level of magic, the Killing Curse, would not have much power and would only reveal his identity.

So he took a moment to calm down, pick up the pieces of his shattered mind and put it back together.

If he couldn't use the spell, let the basilisk deal with him!

Exactly, he can also use his death to declare that the Chamber of Secrets has opened again!

"Fish" Voldemort, who had already made up his mind, checked Ginny and continued in a monotone voice, "I know another fun place."

"Nya?" ?ω?

Fish, who was clawing at a cat scratching board, turned his head and quickly returned to his human form.

"Where's nya? It's not another place I know, is it?". ?ω?

Fish asked, not too confidently.

He hadn't thought about it before, but now that he thought about it, Ginny had only been at Hogwarts for a short time, and all the interesting places he'd found, he'd probably already visited.

After all, no student had as much time to wander around the castle as Fish did.

"I don't think you've been there, it's a very, very deep subway room."

The stiff smile on Ginny's face became slightly more vivid, Voldemort didn't directly name the Chamber of Secrets, he wasn't going to leave anything to chance until he tricked Fish into it.

"Is that the one on the third floor nya? Albus hid a stone in there last year." ?ω?

Fish said wistfully, "I've been there the other night and they've taken away all the fun nya."

Voldemort took another deep breath, he had worked so hard to get the Philosopher's Stone last term, and this little wizard was treating it like a funfair?

His hard earned peace of mind was beginning to crumble again.

"No, not the third floor, the entrance I found is on the second floor."

Voldemort replied with a forced smile.

"The second floor nya..."

Fish flapped his ears, remembering that there was nothing hidden on the second floor except a staircase leading up to the headmaster's office.

So he regained his spirits and thought about the subway room Ginny was talking about.

Following Ginny towards a secret passage, Fish said with interest, "Do you know this passage too nya? This secret passage is hidden, or what Norris told me, nya."

Voldemort, who had been at Hogwarts for seven years and had found the Chamber of Secrets, knew many of the secret passages in the castle, but not as much as Fish.

"Fish found a secret passage near the hall last time, so he could run straight from the second floor to the fourth floor nya"

"Ginny, wait a moment nya, I hear Filch's voice, let's go say hello."

The whole way Fish kept talking, much to Voldemort's annoyance, but his keen sense of smell and hearing, as well as his familiarity with the castle, made the trek up to the second floor so easy that no one noticed Voldemort's trail.

"Would you like some dried fish nya? Filch made them himself, they taste great."

(●Φ~Φ●)つ

Fish, who returned from Filch, handed the small bag to Ginny.

"No, thank you..."

Voldemort was still annoyed, so he controlled Ginny to pick up the pace.

"It's right inside."

Finally, the two of them stopped at the door to the girls' bathroom on the second floor, Voldemort pushed open the door and stepped inside.

But Fish didn't move a muscle.

"Come in."

"I can't!"(`ω'≡`ω')

Fish shook his head like a rattle, "Minerva said boys can't go into the nya girls' sinks, toilets and dormitories.

Why are you being so obedient right now?

Voldemort, who was already in an unstable mental state, was on the verge of insanity.

But he managed to endure it with great perseverance.

"Don't worry," Voldemort persuaded, "Something is wrong in this bathroom. Usually no one else goes in."

"But... Fish remembers there's a female ghost in this bathroom nya."

Before Professor McGonagall reminded Fish, he had been in this bathroom, and Fish understood why he didn't know there was a secret room here, as he hadn't been there since.

"Don't worry, Myrtle isn't here now."

Ginny's speech became faster and Voldemort's mood began to turn frantic.

"But... ". ?ω?

Fish was still a bit hesitant.

"No buts!"

Voldemort couldn't wait any longer, however, as he seized Ginny and grabbed Fish's arm, dragging him straight to the sink.

"Don't you want to go see what's in there?"

If Fish hadn't wanted to go in, let alone Ginny, Voldemort himself wouldn't have been able to drag Fish in without using a magic spell.

But the cat's curiosity and playfulness made Fish's mind wander, so he was half-dragged in by Ginny.

"You were the one who dragged me nya, but it wasn't Fish who wanted to come in." (●3●)

The kitten emphasized, deceptively.

Voldemort merely ignored him as he controlled Ginny to the griffin.

"Hiss..."

Hearing the hiss from Ginny's mouth, Fish flapped his ears, opened his mouth and quickly covered it with his hands.

He had promised Harry that he would keep his secret.

Then, Fish saw the faucet glow bright white and begin to spin rapidly, followed by the faucet moving...reminding him inexplicably of the wall behind the Leaky Cauldron Bar that led to Diagon Alley.

Slowly, the sink and faucet gradually disappeared, revealing a huge pipe hidden underneath, the size of the hole in the wall leading into the Gryffindor dormitory, big enough for a person to fit through.

"Ohhhhhh!" (●ω●)

Fish's eyes lit up, the cat loved to burrow in places like this, and he immediately forgot that Ginny also spoke Parseltongue.

"Come with me."

Voldemort dove first and slid down the tube and Fish quickly followed.

"Nyajajajajaja!"

(●≧≦●)

This swift descent was very amusing to Fish, none other than the Gringotts cart, and his merry laughter echoed throughout the pipes....

The noise made Voldemort's brain ache.

He didn't know how long he slid down the pipe, but eventually it went horizontal and Fish was "spat out".

After landing lightly, Fish smacked his lips and looked up at the dark pipe.

"Ginny, how about we go back and do it again?"

"... There's something more interesting ahead, so let's do it another time."

Voldemort coaxed through gritted teeth, then walked forward without looking back.

"Very well then..."

Fish looked reluctantly at the pipe behind him, but followed it.

With this pipe as his base, he looked forward to what was to come.

"Wait for me nya!"
