Chapter 250: The kitten has many little secrets (Edited)

Just when Fish was full of complaints and couldn't understand why Professor McGonagall was angry, Professor McGonagall gradually calmed down from her fear and anger.

She pursed her lips, softened her voice a little, and asked, "What about the basilisk? why didn't you tell me?"

At this point, she didn't bother to worry about Dumbledore's bullshit plans, and spoke directly to Fish straight to the point.

"Nya!"

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Fish immediately startled and raised his head to look at Professor McGonagall in surprise.

"How does Minerva know about Uroboros? I promised someone I'd keep it a secret."

The kitten, still taking his promise very seriously, ignored the second part of Professor McGonagall's question and asked hurriedly.

Professor McGonagall was genuinely annoyed and amused to hear that Fish was still the same as he was most of the time, like most of the time, missing the point, and she stared at Fish for a moment, causing the little cat to shrink back before knocking on the door, "Albus, are you out there?"

Dumbledore, who was eavesdropping, heard Professor McGonagall suddenly call out his name, opened the door again and stepped inside.

"Ahem, I was worried about Fish."

He coughed lightly twice, finding excuses for his eavesdropping behavior, without any embarrassment.

Professor McGonagall thought nothing of it and told him directly, "I'm going to talk to Fish directly about the Chamber of Secrets, is there a problem?"

"Of course not," Dumbledore waved his hand, not wanting to get on Professor McGonagall's bad side at this point, and said cooperatively, "Actually it's a solution."

He hadn't planned to talk to Fish about it before, mainly because he wanted to get Voldemort out, and the man behind the scenes who helped Voldemort get into the school....

In Voldemort's current state, Dumbledore didn't think he was capable of infiltrating Hogwarts by himself, there had to be other helpers.

But now that Professor McGonagall had decided to show her hand, Dumbledore had to change his plan and see if he could get anything out of Fish.

"What are you talking about nya? the Chamber of Secrets nya? have you found the Chamber of Secrets nya?"

(°ω°≡°°ω°)

Fish still couldn't understand the conversation between Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, but he still knew about the Chamber of Secrets. The little cat looked back and forth at them, shooting them a questioning glance.

"Ahem, is that so..."

Dumbledore cleared his throat again and began to explain to Fish.

"Uroboros is the Monster of the Chamber of Secrets? That's impossible nya!"

After hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Fish didn't bother to hold Fawkes responsible for ratting him out, but instead defended his best friend, "If it was Uroboros, Norris would be dead by now!"

"Well, there are two possibilities about that," Dumbledore analyzed with Fish unhurriedly, "One is that it wasn't the basilisk that did it, but Ginny, who was controlled by Voldemort, and the other is that Mrs. Norris didn't see the basilisk's eyes directly, but in the trophy's reflection...."

"But... but Uroboros said it wasn't the monster in the Chamber of Secrets nya..."

?︿?

The fact is that Fish at this point already approves of Dumbledore's analysis, after all, he had doubts about Uroboros before, and it was also because the other party was friends with him that he easily believed what Uroboros said.

Thinking that the friend he recognized actually deceived him, Fish felt a little disappointed and a pair of cat ears fell off.

"Probably because he had to do Voldemort's bidding" Professor McGonagall approached Fish and bent down, stroking his head and whispering soothingly, "Since Slytherin left the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets for the Heir, he must have left a means of control as well, he probably didn't really want to trick you."

"Minerva..."

??ω??

Fish, who was depressed, hugged Professor McGonagall, sank his head in her arms and reluctantly said, "Sorry, Fish made you worry nya...".

After realizing that Uroboros was the Monster of the Chamber of Secrets and that Ginny was possessed by that bad guy called Voldemort, Fish finally understood why Professor McGonagall had been so angry at that moment.

"No wonder Ginny was a little different than usual those two nights... So she's okay now nya?"

After a few moments in Professor McGonagall's arms, Fish thought about Ginny's condition and asked with a worried look on his face.

"She's fine, she's just having some memory problems, it seems Voldemort has left her side, that's why Minerva mistook you for being under his control a moment ago." explained Dumbledore from the barrier.

"Fish isn't that easy to control nya!"

The little cat hugged Professor McGonagall and comforted him with a promise.

He wasn't lying either, after all, he had a similar experience in Fish's memory.

"'Imperius Curse' doesn't even work on Fish!"

?(●ΦωΦ●)?

To reassure Professor McGonagall, Fish revealed a little secret of his own.

"Where did you know about this Curse?!"

Professor McGonagall suddenly became nervous, grabbed Fish's shoulder firmly and asked sharply.

"Nya..." replied Fish weakly, frowning, "Stinky Bloke used it.... With me last term nya."

Without waiting for Professor McGonagall to ask, Fish told her all about his first encounter with the Black Robed Man.

"You little rascal..." After finally suppressing her anger, she suddenly showed signs of recovery. Professor McGonagall pinched Fish's face and asked through gritted teeth, "How many things are you keeping from me?"

"Shouldn't, shouldn't it be a lot more...nya?"

(●?ω?●)

Fish replied, not quite sure, and unconsciously avoided Professor McGonagall's gaze.

There were many things Fish had been hiding, and many things he didn't know were so important that he had forgotten them, so he wasn't sure how much he could remember in the meantime.

Anyway, it was right to say less!

The kitten, who was worried that Professor McGonagall would spank him again, quickly changed the subject and criticized, "That bad guy named after Voldemort, why does he always like to hit other people nya?!"

"Because he's in such a weak state that he can only survive by attaching himself to other people," Dumbledore resumed the conversation, relieving Fish, then sighed and said, "Tom was a very talented wizard, but he took the wrong path..."

Talented or not, it didn't matter much to the kitten, who sighed in relief and then continued to take the subject elsewhere.

"Fish has another question!"

?(●ΦωΦ●)?

After all this chatter, the kitten was no longer depressed, he was back to his old carefree self, and his mind was once again kicking back into action.

"When the bad guy named Voldemort was attached to Stinky Guy last semester, why didn't he let Uroboros nya out?"

"Well... probably because he was trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone, so he didn't want to arouse suspicion?" said Dumbledore, stroking his beard and thinking, not quite sure.

"But it would have been easier to release Uroboros to cause confusion, and then steal the Philosopher's Stone," Fish cocked his head, puzzled, "He's released Uroboros before, hasn't he? And Fluffy most likely can't beat Uroboros either."

"I wouldn't know what to say..."

Dumbledore shrugged, also somewhat puzzled by Voldemort's choice, but through all the changes Voldemort had made since he'd graduated, he'd more or less guessed it.

Of course, there was no point in talking to Fish about it, so he gagged, "Maybe it's because Quirinus' stuttering isn't really suited to the Parseltongue?"

"That's right, Parseltongue nya!"

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Dumbledore's comment was a reminder to Fish, which provided Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall with a new piece of information....

"Scarhead can speak Parseltongue nya too!"
