Chapter 298: Night in the Leaky Cauldron (Edited)

Although Fish has never been short of snacks, and has tried everything sold at the Hogwarts Express food cart, but....

The difference between candy and the candy store is very different for children, let alone Fish, a greedy little cat.

Besides, he thought about spending the night at the Leaky Cauldron before, but Professor McGonagall turned him down at the time, and Fish didn't take it seriously after that, and now he only fulfilled this wish by the way.

"Minerva~!"

?●ω●?

"No problem."

Professor McGonagall agreed before the little Slytherin could say anything.

As she had said before, she had always wanted Fish to experience the normal Hogwarts entrance process.

And with the Dementors out of Hogwarts this year and her busy schedule of welcoming new students, Professor McGonagall was worried that the little kitten might wander off and run into a Dementor on her way out.

There was a chance that they might run into a Dementor as they followed the others into the school, but they were entering from outside and there were too many people in the car for the Dementors to dare do anything.

In fact, if she could, Professor McGonagall would prefer Fish to take the Hogwarts Express next year or some other time, but now that the cat had asked, she wasn't going to refuse.

As upset as she was, Professor McGonagall still believed that the Dementors were under the authority of the Ministry of Magic, and as long as Fish would stay with the others, there would be no problem.

That said, Professor McGonagall did not forget the necessary instructions.

"You can go to Hogwarts with the others, but don't wander off and stay with the Weasleys and the others."

"Okay nya!"

?(●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish agreed, much to everyone's delight...except Mr. Granger, who was worried about his daughter.

Although Mr. Granger had a lot to say about Fish, he actually liked Fish.

After lunch, the little cat approached him and Mrs. Granger, looking with great interest at Mr. Granger's face with his big green eyes.

"What, what is it?"

Mr. Granger avoided Fish's gaze with some guilt.

Mrs. Granger, however, thought less of it and gave an excited squeal of delight as she scooped Fish up in her arms.

"Are you looking for us for something, Fish?"

Under her daughter's envious eyes, Mrs. Granger kissed Fish hard and then asked with a smile.

"You all have very nice teeth nya." said Fish honestly.

Other than Lockhart, the Granger's had the most beautiful and healthy teeth he had ever met.

The kitten comment tickled Mr. Granger so much that the corners of his lips began to lift and he lost most of his wariness of Fish.

"Hahahaha!" he laughed triumphantly and replied proudly: "Because I'm a dentist."

"What's a dentist?"

?ω?

Fish, who was in Mrs. Granger's arms, wiggled his ears and asked in confusion.

So Mr. Granger enthusiastically explained the profession of a dentist to Fish, while Mrs. Granger, who was engrossed in petting the cat, added a few words now and then.

Although Fish had been wandering the Muggle world for a long time, he really didn't know much about their lives, and the cat listened attentively to such tidbits as these.

The Weasleys, under the influence of Arthur Weasley, were also interested in the Muggle world and listened with great interest.

Harry, who lives with Muggles, I don't find new, but he only knows a little about dentists, so it wasn't boring to listen.

Only Hermione looked at her mother, who was obsessed with petting the cat, feeling sad and indignant...

Didn't we agree to help me get closer to Fish? Why is she approaching the cat herself?

Fortunately, the Grangers, like Professor McGonagall, had things to do for the afternoon, so after a brief chat, they reluctantly left the Leaky Cauldron.

Professor McGonagall, after giving Fish a few more tips and commending him to the Weasleys, also left.

After lunch, Fish transformed into a cat and climbed onto the roof of the tavern for a nap, then strolled down Diagon Alley with Harry and the others.

But since Hogwarts was starting tomorrow, Diagon Alley was a bit deserted, and many of the stores had closed early before the sun went down.

So after a short walk, the group headed back to the Leaky Cauldron to play magical Monopoly made by George and Fred.

The twins' Magic Monopoly had taken Hogwarts by storm last year, but Fish had never been much interested in that kind of game, but George had said that the salesman had to know something about the product, so the kitten played patiently with the group for a while....

And then the kitten became interested.

Once inside, the game of Magic Monopoly was quite interesting.

They played until dinner time.

As night fell, they all went downstairs for dinner and then went back to their rooms....

"I'm bored nya..."

?(●`Д′●)?

With nothing to do, Fish lay on the bed in the guest room, rolling back and forth.

Without Professor McGonagall telling him stories, the little cat is not used to it.

As Fish contemplated whether or not to go with Harry and the others to continue his game of Magic Monopoly, he heard some knocking on his bedroom window.

"Nya?"

Fish turned around, jumped out of bed and ran to the window.

Outside the window, two little black and white birds were tapping their beaks against the window pane, and Fish recognized the magpies, which he had eaten earlier.

Seeing Fish appear in front of the window, the two magpies not only did not leave, but chirped at him....

This is not surprising, as long as Fish does not take the initiative to show malice, most animals like to be near him.

Besides...

"Animagus?"

⊙ω⊙

Sensing that the two magpies had an aura of life far superior to that of normal birds, Fish was naturally not unaware of the situation.

So the kitten reached out and opened the window, letting the two magpies in.

As the window opened, the two magpies flew in and landed on the table.

"George and Fred? It's you!"

?(●?ω?●)?

Fish leaned over to the table, rested his chin on the table, looked at the two magpies and said happily.

Although the smell of Animagus completely changed to that of an animal when they transformed, George and Fred had approached Fish right after their transformation and still had much of their human smell, so naturally Fish, who had seen many Animagus, recognized them immediately.

"Indeed, we can't hide it from you, Fish."

The twins said with a smile as they returned to their human forms.

They had no intention of hiding it from Fish, or they wouldn't have come straight to him like this.

"We haven't told anyone yet, so Fish, remember to keep it a secret from us."

The twins planned to use it against Snape and Filch when they got to school.

"Don't worry, Fish's mouth is tight nya!"

?(●ΦωΦ●)?

After receiving Fish's assurance, the twins looked at each other, then crept up to his ear and whispered: "Fish, are you interested in going to Knockturn Alley with us?"
