Chapter 484: Fish is feeling a little weird (Edited)

Over the next few days, Harry occasionally spent his free time discussing how to solve the diving problem with Ron and Neville and a few other close companions, but none of them were able to give a constructive opinion.

The twins came up with an idea...

"Don't you have three months? You could try the Animagus Charm." suggested George in all seriousness.

"Yeah, maybe you could turn into a fish or a frog or something." interjected Fred.

"Maybe I'm a lazy toad," said George with an air of evidence, interrupting, "After all...".

"Your eyes are green like a freshly pickled toad~" sang the twins in perfect unison after looking at each other, singing about the song Harry had received as a gift in second year.

"He's got hair as dark and sleek as a chalkboard..... Ouch!"

The twins had only sung a couple of verses when something hit them and they looked down to see two badges with the words 'Potter sucks' on them falling to the floor, the same badges the Creevey brothers had piled up in the common room.

George and Fred looked around and couldn't find the person who had attacked them, but the twins had guessed who it was, so when they discovered that Ginny had been hiding, they didn't pursue the matter further, but laughed evilly.

Harry rolled his eyes in bewilderment, he'd seen who had attacked the twins, so....

Was it really Ginny who had sent the love letter in the first place?

Harry was in a bit of a strange mood.

But he quickly put the matter aside and said weakly, "Anything besides the Animagus Charm? Don't you have any pranks that can turn people into fish or something? Like the canary crackers you've been selling lately"

"No," and turning back to his own, the twins' expression became slightly more serious, "Even if there is, it's not right for you."

George explained to Harry, "Human transfiguration is a very complicated business, and Professor McGonagall has said that if you transform without fully mastering it, the consequences will be unthinkable..."

"But, you've already managed it, haven't you?". asked Harry hesitantly.

"Our canary cookie was a trick, didn't you notice it took less than a minute for the transformation to finish? It's not that we didn't want to drag it out, but if we had dragged it out any longer, we would have had trouble with the pranks...".

Even though Fred said it, Harry saw the expressions of lingering fear on George's and his, it obviously wasn't a 'little problem'.

"Well... I guess I'll have to think of something else..."

Harry sighed, reluctantly giving up on the idea.

The weather was getting colder and colder, with gusts of wind, rain and snow, and Harry was still making no progress on his second event.

Harry wrote to Sirius, asking his godfather for help once again, but he didn't know if it was because of the recent bad weather, but he had yet to receive a reply.

But since February 24 was still a long way off, Harry wasn't particularly anxious.

In addition, an article about the first event has been published in the Daily Prophet, written by Rita Skeeter.

As in the previous article, the entire article focused on Fish and Harry, two of the Hogwarts champions, or to be more precise, Fish.

The fact that a fourteen-year-old wizard single-handedly subdued a fire dragon was shocking news to the entire wizarding community, not to mention the mark of the Cat's Head, which had been the subject of some discussion.

Only this time Rita Skeeter stopped referring to Fish as a third-generation Dark Lord and redefined the mark of the Cat's Head as an act of bravery against the Dark Lord and the remnants of the Death Eaters, showing Fish's cynical nature.

In short, it was all fancy compliments that Fish received, which in turn prompted an avalanche of letters and gifts that made Fish smile and reflect on his own prejudices against Rita Skeeter.

...

On this day, the Gryffindor students sighed and left the castle in the cold wind to attend Hagrid's class on Care of Magical Creatures.

On the one hand, the bad weather and, on the other, having to attend class with Slytherin, but what they resisted the most was the fact that they had recently had to attend to the growing, and increasingly grumpy, Blast-Ended Skrewt.

According to Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, who weren't in class together, the eBlast-Ended Skrewt were even more difficult to handle without Fish's influence.

As soon as they entered Hagrid's hut, they smelled the strong odor of alcohol, it was the Abraxan's favorite Beauxbatons malt whiskey, of which Hagrid had increased the supply due to the cold weather, causing the smell of alcohol to permeate the surroundings.

"If this keeps up, I'm not sure I'm going to like Hagrid's classes anymore..."

Hermione pinched her nose and spoke dissatisfied in an odd tone, and got an approving nod from several Gryffindor students.

Harry and Ron looked at each other with a bitter smile, if it wasn't for their friendship with Hagrid, they actually had a big problem with the recent Care of Magical Creatures lesson.

As for the Slytherin side, Malfoy and his group have to tease them every time, and then they don't pay much attention to the care of the Blast-Ended Skrewt, so the Gryffindor students have to help Hagrid all the time, so it was no wonder Hermione and the others were complaining about Hagrid.

"Hermione, Fish feels a bit weird..."

(●?ω?●)

Not long after he returned from greeting the Abraxans, Fish suddenly staggered, unconsciously propped Hermione up next to him and said dizzily.

"Why is everything spinning around nya?"

At some point, Fish's cheeks flushed and his eyes misted up a bit.

"Oh no, Fish is drunk!"

Shouted in unison Harry and Ron, who had watched the cat get drunk.

Hermione, who had also seen it earlier, quickly wanted to grab Fish's arm, but missed.

"Fish didn't drink nya!"

?(●`Д′●)?

Fish raised his arms high and shouted, and stumbled two steps to the side, just out of Hermione's reach.

"Nya?"

(●Φω??●)

(`ω′′≡`ω′)

Fish cocked his head and looked at Hermione, who wasn't far away, rubbed his eyes and shook his head again.

"Hermione, why did you turn into two nya? everyone has turned into two! What is this spell? Fish has to learn it too."

?(●?ω?●)?

Fish lunged at Hermione, trying to get her to teach him how to turn into two, but to no avail.

"Why are you avoiding Fish nya?!"

?(●`Д′●)?

The cat nearly fell over, but with his natural balance he managed to stay on his feet after a series of somersaults, only for Fish to jump from the Gryffindor side to the Slytherin side.

"Fish, what's wrong with you?"

Daphne, Pansy, Millicent and several other Slytherin girls whirled around the cat, who was clearly unwell, and asked worriedly.

Wide-eyed and confused, Fish looked around and then lunged in the direction of what he saw as Millicent, but was actually Daphne.

"You know how to split in two too! Show Fish!"

?(●?ω?●)?

"Split, split?"

Startled, Daphne stood confused as she wrapped her arms around the cat that had taken the initiative to pounce on her.

"Huh? How did Millicent become Daphne nya? And how did you become one again?"

Fish gently plopped down on top of Daphne, looking at the young woman in front of his with confusion.

"Fish is... drunk?"

The young Slytherin witches could see what was happening to Fish.

"Fish didn't drink nya!"

?(●`Д′●)?

Fish broke free from Daphne's arms, retorted angrily, but stumbled back two steps and fell into Pansy's arms.

"Nyanyanyanyanya-!"

?(●@Ô@●)?

Fish waved his hands, struggled to get back to his feet, and then swung from side to side haphazardly, emitting unintelligible shouts that kept the surrounding students at bay....

The power of Fish's fist had been tested by several Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers and a fire dragon, and they didn't want to test it.

Fish, after moving a bit, probably because his legs were unsteady, returned to his cat form, scampering and meowing.

"Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!"

? (=`Д′=)?

"What's that Fish sings?" asked Ron curiously after listening to it for a while, now with some experience.

"It sounds like the theme song to a Muggle cartoon," replied Harry, not quite sure. "I think Dursley played something similar when he was at Dursley's house watching TV."

"Is this the time to talk about it?!"

Hermione shouted at the two in disgust, then ran after Fish.

And when Fish heard his girlfriend's voice, he turned around and pounced on Hermione.

And then...

The two crossed perfectly.
