Chapter 324: What is a school superstar? (Edited)
Soon the end of the week came, and Fish went to the Forbidden Forest in the morning to meet the centaurs he had not seen for some time, and there he had a special lunch prepared by the centaurs, and in the afternoon the cat did not stay in the Forbidden Forest, but returned to the Gryffindor common room early.
At this time, Fish was lying on the windowsill in his cat form, basking in the sun.
Next to him, a group of little witches were taking turns petting the cat with little combs of various shapes, and popping snacks into his mouth from time to time.
Just as everyone was having a good time, George and Fred suddenly walked in.
"Sorry! Sorry! Excuse me!"
Facing glaring stares from the group of little witches around them, the two repeatedly bowed with apologetic smiles and squeezed in next to Fish.
"We're here to see Fish about something."
The kitten turned his head to look at them and then wagged the tip of his tail lazily, which meant he'd heard them, so they had to say it quickly.
Of course, the twins couldn't understand this kind of communication that only cats can understand, but no matter, George simply went ahead and picked up Fish, said "I'll give Fish back to you later," and then tried to make a dash for the door under Fred's cover.
But the Gryffindor lionesses weren't going to let those two guys take Fish away so easily.
"Where are you taking Fish again? You're trying to trick Fish into doing something dangerous with you again, aren't you?"
The little witches surrounded the two of them, yelling at them.
They already knew that these two guys had encouraged Fish to go into Knockturn Alley in the middle of the night... but luckily nothing happened so they could tear the two bastards apart alive.
"No, no, no, no, no.... How dare we do something like that now? There's something real with Fish."
Fred denied it, he and George had been caught by Professor McGonagall and given a good reprimand for the alley incident, although Professor McGonagall didn't give them a note or punish them because it had happened during the summer vacations, but she wrote to his mother to inform her.
What happened next was not surprising.... Molly Weasley sent a third howling letter.
All the second year students and upwards at Hogwarts, upon seeing the familiar red envelope, expertly covered their ears, while Fish and some of the older students, used a soundproofing spell on themselves.
The only ones who were unlucky were the new first years, who, like last year's students, were subjected to a sonic bombardment by Mrs. Weasley.
George stepped in to explain, "We're not going far, we're just going back to the boys' dormitory! Besides, there's no danger to Fish at Hogwarts...he's been in and out of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets freely."
The little witches thought about it and walked away, but their gazes were still full of warning.
The twins breathed a sigh of relief after running into the boys' dormitory with the kitten in their arms.
"Phew...those girls are scary!"
Fred wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shook his head, "I'd rather fight the Slytherin Quidditch team in comparison."
George chuckled, "Isn't this great? it just goes to show that our products will definitely sell well!"
The reason the two had come to see Fish was simple, to take advantage of the weekend to start selling their newly developed products.
And Fish, whom they considered the gold medal salesman, they had to give him a heads up.
"No problem, nya! I'll take care of it."
?(●ΦωΦ●)?
As soon as the twins told Fish about the matter, the kitten agreed without hesitation.
It was something he had already agreed to do, and there was money to be made.....
Fish was still hoping to save enough money to buy Professor McGonagall a Fire Saeta.
With Fish's response, the twins gleefully ran to the bulletin board to post the notice, however, to everyone's surprise, they didn't say anything about Fish, but simply introduced their new products.
The next morning, Hogwarts students who had received the news had gathered in the open space outside the castle since early morning, and even without Fish, George and Fred's products had a large following.
But when Fish appeared with the twins and climbed onto a wooden crate and shouted, the group of twin loyalists were instantly scattered by the little witches who had come from far and wide.
"Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy! Give me a copy of everything! I want Fish to deliver it to me!"
A little witch waved her gold galleons in her hands, not even bothering to look at the merchandise as she frantically swept around George and Fred's side, much to the twins' delight.
Within half an hour, the twins had sold their entire stock, and would have done so even faster if the little witches hadn't demanded that Fish hand over the merchandise.
"Here, Fish, the money's yours."
George and Fred counted the money they had just earned three times before picking out a handful of loose change and handing it to the kitty.
Fish took the money and counted it, then remembered what the manager of the Quality Quidditch Goods store in Diagon Alley had told him about the price of the Fire Saeta....
(?ω?)
At this rate, how long would he have to save up?
The kitten hadn't been very interested in selling, mostly because he'd just been handing out stuff over and over again, and Fish had already gotten bored with it, and would have quit if he hadn't wanted to buy a Fire Saeta from Professor McGonagall.
Now, seeing that he had worked so hard for so little money, Fish felt a little like giving up.
Fred was well aware of Fish's thoughts, and quickly drew a pie for the kitty: "This is just the beginning, before we didn't have enough money to make too many products, but now that we're making money, we'll be able to produce more and more, and sell more and more, and make more money."
"That's right," added George: "And we can give you a bigger share of the sales when we sell more!".
"Yes! Because you sold so well at this time, we decided temporarily to give you a bonus!"
Fred gritted his teeth, pulled another gold galleon out of his wallet and handed it to Fish.
George and Fred didn't want to let the cat out of the bag after the sale they'd just made, and they'd rather make a little less money themselves than keep Fish.
"Well then..."
?ω?
After some hesitation, Fish realized that he couldn't find any other way to make money other than selling for George and Fred, so the kitten reluctantly agreed to do it for the sake of the Golden Galleons.
Unfortunately, there were no bad guys at Hogwarts who wanted to sell him for money, like the ones they encountered in Knockturn Alley, so I guess I'm still worth something....
Fish thought ruefully.
Wait...
Thinking of villains and Galleons, a name popped into Fish's mind.
What was the reward for Sirius Black in the Daily Prophet that he saw during the summer vacations?
