Chapter 273: Cat at the wheel (Edited)

"Fish, shall we ride on our own? No riding Fluffy, just the three of us."

That's what the twins said to Fish after leaving the centaur tribe.

For George and Fred, while riding a big dog through the Forbidden Forest was fun, the greatest joy was exploring on their own.

Fish didn't mind, of course, because he could go anywhere in the Forbidden Forest, except for Acromantula and Troll territory, so he could play anywhere.

In fact, he could go to Acromantula and Troll territory, but the Acromantulas didn't get along with Fish, and Fish didn't like the smell of Trolls, so he didn't go to either of those two places.

And Fish could understand the twins' feelings, when he had first snuck into the Forbidden Forest, he had also run through the area first.

"No problem nya, you guys just wander around, me and Fluffy will follow."

(●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish reached out and stroked George's arm, then turned back into a kitten and jumped on one of Fluffy's heads.

Understandable, but it would never be possible for him to foolishly follow the two of them.

But just in case the twins got into trouble, Fish asked Fluffy to follow them, while he lay down on Fluffy's head and fell asleep.

"Pfft!"

A gasp escaped Fluffy's three nostrils, and his six eyes glared at the twins in front of him, as he wouldn't have bothered with the two little wizards if Fish hadn't asked him to.

George and Fred knew that those magical creatures could not treat them as they had treated Fish, so they smiled flatteringly at Fluffy and went into the Forbidden Forest with great gusto.

About half an hour later, a long, high-pitched voice woke the sleeping kitten in Fluffy's head.

"Nya?!"

∑(=ΦДΦ=)

Fish straightened up and looked in the direction of the sound.

There was a lime green car with scratches and dents all over it, honking its horn and coming this way.

"That sound...that's Dad's car!"

The lime green car approached quickly, and not long after Fish noticed the noise, the twins heard its horn and soon saw it crashing through the bushes and in front of them.

When the magic car reached the twins, it turned and honked its horn several times, as if to greet them.

"Oooh..."

Not knowing what it was, Fluffy lowered his body and let out a low growl towards the car with the three heads.

"Nya!"

Fish patted him on the head so he wouldn't get so nervous, then jumped off Fluffy and landed on the ground in his cat-man form.

"Is this the car Harry and Ron drove here at the beginning of term nya?"

?(●?ω?●)?

Fish ran to the side of the magic car with a stride, opened the window, stretched his head out and looked inside curiously.

The flying car had plunged into the depths of the Forbidden Forest ever since Harry and Ron had crashed it into the Boxing Willow, driving into Acromantula territory and then crashing into the trunk of a fallen dead tree, where it had remained ever since.

The Acromantulas had no interest in the fleshless, immobile hunk of steel, so they let the flying car stay there.

Today the twins were strolling along, unknowingly approaching the Acromantulas' territory, when, for whatever reason, the Flying Car sensed the Weasleys or something, suddenly rebooted and ran toward the twins.

This is where Fish and the Acromantulas had fought,

He didn't usually come this way, or maybe they would have run into the car the last time he took Ron into the Forbidden Forest.

"George, Fred, come and show Fish how to play with the car nya!"

(●?ω?●)?

Fish didn't care how the car got here, anyway, he had already climbed into the car at this point, poked his head out of the car window and waved to the twins.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

The twins, who weren't afraid of anything, jumped into the car without hesitation and, with a word or two, began to teach Fish how to drive the car.

The crafty kitten soon learned how to drive the flying car, so he waved to Fluffy, then stepped on the accelerator and took the car into the sky.

"Nyajajajajajaja!"

(●≧?≦●)

After driving the car in the air for a few laps, Fish felt that this was much more interesting than a flying broom.

There was only so much room to sit on the broom and it wasn't comfortable flying, unlike the car, where you could move your arms and legs and roll around on the soft seat when you were in cat form.

The only downside... is probably the slow flying speed.

But no matter, Fish has a solution!

[Leopard Speed!]

With the strange power attached to the flying car, its flying speed instantly increased by a huge margin, and the twins, who had been so happy, had their faces changed in an instant.

The twins, who often made some dangerous maneuvers on their flying broom, were naturally not frightened by the speed of the car, but they thought of a problem very tacitly....

"I say, George ... Isn't the speed a bit off? how come Harry and Ron hit the Boxing Willow in the first place?"

Fred, sitting in the back seat, felt the powerful push and asked with some uncertainty.

George, who was riding on the passenger side, gripped the edge of the seat tightly and replied with a pale face, "If I remember correctly, it seems that Ron said they were almost at the school when the car suddenly lost control and that's why they hit the Boxing Willow..."

"Don't worry, the car was fine nya!" Fish, who was on a roll, smiled reassuringly, "It was Fish who helped it accelerate nya!"

?(●ΦωΦ●)?

George and Fred gave a small sigh of relief, and then George, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, said to Fish, "Let's land first, there might be some trouble with this car, it would be bad if he lost control."

"Uh... but Fish hasn't had enough nya..."

?ε?

The kitten pouted unhappily.

At that moment, Fred, who was sitting in the back seat, stuck his head out the car window, looked down and said in a desperate tone, "I think... we're probably in trouble..."

Because Fish, at some point, had driven the flying car out of the Forbidden Forest and into the skies of Hogwarts Castle. More importantly... the invisibility button that Mr. Weasley had installed, had been broken by Ron at the beginning of the term.

"!!Fish McGonagall!!"

Professor McGonagall roared from below, causing Fish to flinch as he drove.

"Nya!"

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

I was having so much fun that I had forgotten to avoid Hogwarts.

Now it was impossible not to land.

Fish hurried to control the car all the way to the ground....

Then the car shook a little.

"..."

"Nyajajajaja..."

(●?ω?●)?

After a moment of silence, Fish laughed dryly and rubbed the back of his neck, saying to George and Fred with a slightly embarrassed expression, "It looks like the car has really lost control nya."

At the same time, the car's engine groaned in time and the car shuddered violently, with a thick cloud of white smoke billowing out from under the hood.

George and Fred: "..."

"Helpaaaaaaaa!
