Chapter 16 School Starts Again!
It's the start of another school year. In a month, it will be the day of the new school year at Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall has experienced countless new semesters, but this year is still a special year even for Professor McGonagall, a senior teacher at Hogwarts.
Because this year, not only will Harry Potter, who defeated Voldemort, be admitted to Hogwarts, but her adopted Fish McGonagall also received an admission letter from Hogwarts yesterday.
"Fish, we should go."
With Professor McGonagall's call, a silver tabby kitten about thirteen inches in size jumped down from the second floor, turned two somersaults in the air, and turned into a ten-year-old boy with silver hair and blue eyes, landing lightly on the ground.
It has been nearly three years since Professor McGonagall adopted Fish. Under Professor McGonagall's teaching, Fish has basically mastered the language of human society and some common sense.
At least he has figured out the "butt puzzle" of the year and gradually got used to the human lifestyle.
Although Fish personally still prefers his original state, he is not so averse to human form and clothes now.
Looking at Fish who jumped directly from the second floor, Professor McGonagall sighed helplessly. Although she taught Fish a lot of things, he still kept a lot of habits as a cat.
In fact, according to Professor McGonagall's idea, Fish should be allowed to enter Hogwarts to study after his behavior becomes more normal.
But since Fish received the admission notice of Hogwarts this year, the old-fashioned Professor McGonagall will naturally not violate the rules of Hogwarts.
As for Fish, he has heard the name of Hogwarts more than once in the past three years. He is still very curious about this place, and he still has no exact concept of the so-called school.
When Fish was still a stray cat, he also saw the schools in the Muggle world. In his understanding, going to school is a place where a group of human cubs gather together to play.
So when Professor McGonagall told Fish that he would also go to school this year, the ignorant kitten agreed without much hesitation.
Isn't it just playing in a different place? Fish is familiar with this matter!
"Are we going to Hogwarts?"
Fish asked excitedly when he landed in front of Professor McGonagall.
"No, today we are just going to Diagon Alley to buy you the necessary things for school."
Professor McGonagall actually has textbooks, cauldrons and the like. After all, the basic curriculum of Hogwarts has not changed for many years, but she still wants to buy a new set of equipment for Fish.
In addition, a wand is absolutely indispensable.
So it is necessary to go to Diagon Alley.
As for pets, forget it. Professor McGonagall thinks that even if she buys a pet for Fish, it will probably be tortured to death by this kid the next day, or even go directly into his stomach.
"Necessary things? Is it delicious?"(●ΦωΦ●)
Fish became more excited when he heard this.
"These are the things on the list in the letter you received yesterday."
Seeing that Fish's mood was dropping at a visible speed, Professor McGonagall added: "But there are indeed many delicious foods in Diagon Alley that are not available in Hogsmeade."
"Then what are we waiting for?!"
Fish immediately regained his energy, grabbed Professor McGonagall's sleeve and ran out the door.
Professor McGonagall staggered a few steps, and after stabilizing his body, he knocked Fish's head unhappily.
"We can go directly with Floo powder, without going through the gate."
"Floo powder?"
"It's the flash powder that you knocked over several times."
"Meow!" (●●)
Fish immediately understood what Floo powder was.
The thing was in a small ceramic jar and placed next to the fireplace. Not only had he knocked it over several times before, he also took the jar and scattered the powder everywhere, causing Comey to bang his head against the wall for a long time.
Professor McGonagall took Fish to the fireplace, pinched a pinch of powder from the jar, and threw it into the fireplace.
As the Floo powder was thrown in, a green flame instantly ignited in the dark fireplace. The flame soared high, startling Fish who was curious and approaching.
"Don't worry, the magic fire of the Floo powder can't hurt people."
Professor McGonagall reached into the fireplace and shook it a few times, stirring the flames in the fireplace constantly, and then pulled out her unharmed arm to show Fish.
"You just need to shout the name of the Leaky Cauldron when you go in, and then close your eyes and wait for the magic fire to take you to your destination."
Professor McGonagall explained to Fish how to use the Floo powder, and she chose the Leaky Cauldron as her destination because there were several fireplace exits in Diagon Alley, and she was worried that Fish would choose the wrong exit.
So it was safer to use the Leaky Cauldron, even if it would take more time because of the congestion of the Floo network.
"I'll show you a demonstration first, remember, pronounce the words clearly - Leaky Cauldron!"
Professor McGonagall said as she stepped into the flames of the fireplace and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When Professor McGonagall disappeared, the green flame in the fireplace quickly went out, returning to its previous dark state.
"Meow? Minerva?"
Fish carefully put his head into the fireplace and sniffed.
However, apart from the choking smell of ash, there was no smell of Professor McGonagall at all.
"Master Fish, Professor McGonagall should have arrived at the Leaky Cauldron by now."
The house elf Komi suddenly appeared next to Fish and explained to him diligently.
"Oh..." Feish looked at the clay pot containing Floo powder above the fireplace with gleaming eyes, "Hehehehe..."
(●ω●)
"Well... Master Feishu, if you call me by any other name, you will most likely be sent to a strange place."
After nearly three years of getting along, Comey was also familiar with Fish's character, and he promptly reminded him.
"If you go elsewhere, Professor McGonagall won't be able to buy you anything to eat."
"...Grudge!"
Fei Xu curled his lips in displeasure, but finally gave up the idea of running to other places. After all, eating was more important than anything else.
Following Minerva's example, Fish pinched a handful of floo powder from the clay pot, and threw them into the fireplace in front of him. The green flames ignited again in the fireplace, and Fish stood in front of the fireplace. Xu Neng could feel a hot wind coming.
Walking into the green flames full of curiosity, Fish closed his eyes and shouted: "The Leaky Cauldron!"
As his mouth opened, Fish felt a stream of scorching air mixed with a strong smell of fireworks pouring into his throat, almost preventing him from finishing his words smoothly.
Immediately afterwards, Fish felt his body spinning involuntarily. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw all kinds of furnace doors flashing past him. Even with his cat's dynamic vision, he could only see The rough idea, coupled with the deafening whistling sound beside his ears, made Fish extremely irritable.
Just when Feishu couldn't help but find a door to jump out of, the feeling of rolling up and down suddenly disappeared, and Feishu felt as if someone pushed him from behind and pushed him out of the oven. The newly appeared furnace door was pushed out.
The moment Fish stepped out of the furnace door, he was supported by Professor McGonagall who was waiting outside. However, even without Professor McGonagall, it was unlikely that he would fall due to his balance.
"I don't like this meow."
Fish, who walked out of the fireplace, shook his body suddenly, shook off all the soot on his body, and then muttered to Professor McGonagall.
"This Floo fan is not feeling well at all."
Professor McGonagall ignored Fish's complaints. She patted the soot thrown away from Fish on her body, grabbed Fish's hand and walked outside.
"Let's have breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron before heading to Diagon Alley to buy the items on our list."
Fish immediately stopped complaining when he heard there was food, but...
"Minerva, the list you mentioned... seems to have been torn into pieces by me yesterday..."
