Chapter 319: Fish's mouth is tight! (Edited)

After revealing that the twins were Animagus and reducing the possibility of pranks, Professor McGonagall continued with her lecture, withholding the revelation of their Animagus forms and reminding Fish not to talk about them.

Since some Animagus do not like their forms to be known, it is customary for them to refrain from mentioning the forms of others, even if they do not mind and are registered with the Ministry of Magic....

Not everyone pays much attention to registered Animagus wizards and what their forms are.

Afterwards, Professor McGonagall took Fish away as a worker and let him constantly transform into various cats and a clouded leopard for everyone to see, so the lesson on Transfiguration was especially energetic.

"Minerva, you have to give Fish nya extra points!"

?(●`ω′●)?

The kitten grumbled after performing the demonstration of his transformations.

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, five points for Gryffindor."

"Ten!"

"Only five points."

Professor McGonagall wasn't going to play favorites on this one, and....

Did he really think I didn't know what I was thinking?

"Hmph!"

(〃｀3′〃)

Unable to get any more points, the kitten wrinkled its nose, turned its head and ran out of the classroom.

"Fish is going to eat nya!"

"Wait a minute!"

Professor McGonagall called to the feline who was trying to escape.

"When did you find out, little one, that George and Fred were Animagus?"

Professor McGonagall asked as she pinched Fish's little face and squeezed it twice.

She knew the twins, George and Fred, well enough to know that they wouldn't tell Fish without a reason, it must have been the day before they arrived at Hogwarts, they had snuck off with their kitten to do something involving Animagus.

"Nya?"

?ω?

Fish blinked and pondered for a moment.

George and Fred had asked him to keep their secret because they didn't want anyone else to know they were Animagus, and now that they had told him themselves, there was no need for him to keep their secret....

Well, logical, clear and no cats.

On second thought, the kitten answered truthfully, "The night before we came to school, the two of them came to see Fish for a walk down Knockturn Alley and they didn't want Uncle Arthur and Aunt Molly to find out, so we snuck out the window nya!"

?(●ΦωΦ●)?

Professor McGonagall had banned him from Knockturn Alley?

Sorry, but the kitten had forgotten all about that for more than two days.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Professor McGonagall's smile was creepy.

"Nya!"

The kitten sensed something was wrong and remembered Professor McGonagall's warning....

So Fish was quick to speak up in defense, "Minerva you said, let Fish and Weasley work together, George and Fred are Weasleys too, Fish was well behaved nya!"

?(●`ω′●)?

At this point, Fish couldn't be bothered to talk to the twins about loyalty.

"Well, this really has nothing to do with you."

Professor McGonagall nodded calmly.

Of course, she knew the kitten was making excuses, but the twins had started all this, and Professor McGonagall was sure that without the encouragement of the two little rascals, there was no way Fish would suddenly want to go out into Knockturn Alley to play.

But what intrigued her most was that Fish didn't cause any trouble after running into Knockturn Alley, which is obviously abnormal.

"Is Knockturn Alley fun?"

Professor McGonagall asked, not directly, but as a casual remark.

Unfortunately, the kitten had been trained by Voldemort's diary to understand the subtext of Professor McGonagall's question.

"Fish didn't cause trouble nya!"

?(●`ω′●)?

The little cat protested angrily.

"Will the group of boys in Knockturn Alley let you off so easily?"

Seeing that innuendo failed, Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows and asked directly.

She didn't think the group of dark wizards in Knockturn Alley was the same as these people at school, and they would be lenient with Fish.

True, Fish's affinity could take care of most problems, but just as there were magical creatures like the Acromantula that didn't suffer from Fish's influence, there were many dark wizards whose malice outweighed their good intentions, otherwise they wouldn't have risked selling a magical creature as charismatic and close to the people as a Veela.

"Well..." Fish scratched his head and spoke with wide eyes, "George and Fred didn't take long to come in, they got scared and dragged Fish away nya, we didn't stay in there long nya."

There was no way he was going to betray Snape, ratting him out would risk letting Professor McGonagall know he was giving her a birthday present, so there would be no surprise.

"Will you be so obedient?"

Professor McGonagall's look was questioning.

"Isn't that what you said, Minerva? For Fish and Weasley to act together"

?(●`ω′●)?

The kitten cast an angry look at being wronged and managed to convince Professor McGonagall of his lie.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, my Fish is the best."

Professor McGonagall, who had been fooled by the playful cat, rubbed his little head and reassured him.

"Hmph!"

(〃｀3′〃)

Fish kept up the act, but not too much, so that if Professor McGonagall found out later, he wouldn't get scolded too much.

Once he and Professor McGonagall parted ways, the kitten hurried off to find the twins to inform them and take their statements.

"What?! does Professor McGonagall know we took you to Knockturn Alley?"

The twins' faces went white as if they had encountered a Dementor again.

"Sorry nya... Fish thought you told Minerva everything..."

?(●?ω?●)?

The cat apologized honestly to the twins, then assured them responsibly, "If Minerva punishes you, Fish will be there to help nya!".

George and Fred nodded bitterly, what else could they do? They couldn't do anything about Fish, and they would have to depend on Fish to help them sell their products, so they couldn't afford to offend him.

After lunch, it was time for the long-awaited lesson on Care of Magical Creatures, which they all talked about excitedly as they made their way out of the castle.

"Draco, Daphne, are you going to Hagrid's class too?"

As they walked, Harry suddenly heard Fish say an unpleasant name, and he turned his head to find a group of Slytherin pupils next to them, and they seemed to be back together in class.

The Slytherin students were in high spirits, and Daphne and the girls made their way through the Gryffindor group, talking casually with Fish.

This made Hermione, who had been forcibly pushed, very angry.

What infuriated her even more was that... Parvati and Lavender were not helping her, but collaborating with the Slytherin girls to exclude her.

In fact, Hermione was prepared for the fact that she would be targeted by the other girls, but what she hadn't expected was that the two feuding houses would join forces... to attack her. This situation was a little worse.

What worried Hermione the most was what would happen if all the girls from the four Houses joined forces against her.

Luckily for her, after chatting with the others for a while, Fish noticed that Hermione had disappeared and looked around, waving at Hermione who had been pulled aside.

"Hermione, what are you doing so far away? Come here."

?(●ΦωΦ●)?

"Excuse me, excuse me, thank you."

Hermione lifted her head in triumph, pushing past Daphne and the others who were scowling and approaching Fish's side again.
