Chapter 166: Chickens Flying and Cats Jumping (Second Update)

Animagus is a very complex and dangerous spell. In order to successfully transform into an animal, in addition to a wealth of potion knowledge and tedious preparation process, a certain degree of luck is also required.

The preparation period of the spell may take weeks, months, or even years. During this period, as long as you are not careful, you may lose all your efforts. Peter Pettigrew also successfully transformed into an Animagus with the help of James Potter and others.

After transforming into an animal form, the feelings and emotions of Animagus will be simplified, and the behavior will become closer to the animal itself. Even the food they like to eat will become what they desire in their animal form, but they still retain the same thinking ability, self-identity recognition and memory as before the transformation.

So although Peter Pettigrew was scared to death by Fish's question, he was still able to think calmly, or in other words, it was precisely because his emotions were simplified a lot in the animal form that he was able to remain calm to a certain extent and not panic.

If it was at the beginning of the school year, Peter Pettigrew would have killed Phish without saying anything after he recovered his human form, and then fled.

But now, although Peter was still shocked, he did not attack immediately, because he knew that Phish was probably just curious, and he had not discovered his conspiracy, nor did he want to use this to coerce anything.

So, Peter Pettigrew suppressed the shock in his heart, calmed down his heartbeat that was about to jump out of his throat, and then slowly opened his mouth to communicate with Phish.

"Squeak." (Yes, I am an Animagus.)

Peter actually thought about denying it directly or pretending to be confused, after all, this is the simplest way, but he did not know what Phish used to judge his Animagus.

What if Phish believed in his own judgment and ran to Professor McGonagall for verification after he denied it, it would be really bad.

So after thinking about it, Peter chose to deceive Phish with lies.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." (I turned into a mouse and hid in the Weasley family just because I was tired of my human identity...)

Peter did not use any excuses such as avoiding being hunted down or secretly protecting others to deceive Fish. He just described himself as a sad person who was disappointed with life and wanted to turn into a mouse to escape the past.

Because he knew how curious Fish was and how much trouble this little cat could make, which was even more than James and Sirius in those days.

If the story he made up aroused the other party's interest, it would be very difficult to continue to conceal it, so Peter chose to make up an excuse that would not only make Fish keep it secret but also make him feel that it was not interesting.

Sure enough, after listening to Scabbers' story, Fish pouted with a bored look on his face and said, "No wonder Scabbers is so lazy."

Then he lost interest in Scabbers, the Animagus, and turned into a little cat and rushed out of the window.

"Huh..."

Peter Pettigrew, who had been on edge and ready to kill at any time, breathed a sigh of relief. He finally fooled away.

However, he also knew that this was not a long-term solution. He was able to deceive Fish now because he did not know much about the wizarding world and was still young mentally.

When Fish grew up, the risk of being exposed would become greater and greater, so he would not stay at the Weasleys for long, and it was not safe to escape directly. If he did so, Fish would probably tell Weasley that he was an Animagus, and the things he had done might be dug up...

He had to find a chance to fake his death again.

Just as Peter Pettigrew was thinking about how to get out in the future, Fish continued to climb up according to the cat's habit of climbing high and came to the attic of the Weasleys' house.

There lived a ghoul in the attic. Although this creature looked ugly, it was actually not dangerous. It usually lived on insects such as spiders and moths, and its intelligence was not high. Even if someone approached, they would just roar and would not even run away.

Fish tried to communicate with it, but the ghoul only knew to hum and moan.

Although Fish could understand the general meaning, they were just simple emotions like "hungry", "friendly" and "happy", just like those animals with low intelligence, and it was impossible to form a normal conversation.

So Fish quickly left the attic and continued to climb up.

After a while, he came to the roof of the Burrow, standing at the highest point and looking down at the entire Weasley family.

Then Fish saw the group of fat chickens strolling leisurely in the yard.

"Meow!" (=ω=)

The kitten's eyes lit up immediately. Since he caught a ball-escape bird when he first went to the Forbidden Forest, Fish hadn't caught a bird for a long time... Those that he transformed himself with Transfiguration didn't count.

Fish jumped down from the roof quickly, landed lightly in the yard, and then carefully hid himself in the grass.

Although chickens are not very intelligent and can't fly, Fish can catch them by just rushing up, but Fish enjoys the process of hunting, so the procedures must be followed.

Fish kept his body close to the ground and slowly approached the group of ignorant chickens in the yard.

This group of chickens had been fed very fat by Mrs. Weasley, and domestic chickens rarely encountered any danger, so they had no sense of vigilance at all, so Fish quickly entered the hunting range.

Feishu, who was moving slowly, suddenly jumped out from the grass. Before the fat chickens could react, he pounced on one of them, opened his mouth and bit the opponent's neck gently. One mouthful.

Fish basically doesn't eat raw food now, so he didn't intend to bite the opponent to death, so after taking a symbolic bite, Fish let go of the unlucky fat chicken.

"Giggle!"

Only then did the chickens, who didn't realize it, start to cry crazily and run away.

"Meow!"(=｀=)

After completing the hunting process, Fish happily chased the group of stupid chickens, jumping up and down in the yard. For a while, dust was flying, chicken feathers were flying, and the originally quiet Burrow suddenly became lively.

Comey, who was preparing dinner with Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen, heard the noise and stuck his head out of the window to take a look. Then he hurriedly apologized to Molly beside him: "Sorry, Mrs. Weasley! Fish Master, he is just joking!"

Mrs. Weasley waved her hand magnanimously, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The little guy is really energetic. It would be good for those fat chickens to get some exercise."

The twins who were watching from the third floor window looked melancholy at this time.

"Mom didn't come out. It's still the same as in school." Fred glanced at the Monopoly chess piece in his hand and threw it aside. He no longer even had any interest in developing toys.

"George," Fred, who had lost motivation, suddenly said seriously after a moment of silence, "I still want to try Animagus."

This time George didn't stop him anymore, mainly because Fei Xu's treatment of being easily forgiven for getting into trouble really made the twins' hearts flutter. They wouldn't give up unless they gave it a try.

"I completely agree with your proposal, brother." George nodded equally seriously, "There should be relevant books in the school library. By then we probably won't have extra time to play with Monopoly, so during the summer vacation, we It needs to be perfected as soon as possible.”

So the twins regained their energy and devoted themselves to the production of Magic Monopoly.

In the absence of Mrs. Weasley, naturally no one would disturb Fish's play. Just as he was making a fuss in the whole yard, the dusty Mr. Weasley opened the door of his house. …

Then he was pounced on by a chicken that was running around.

"Merlin's beard! What's going on?!"

Arthur Weasley, who had eaten a mouthful of chicken feathers, kept slapping his hands around his mouth.

And the group of chickens that were driven around by Fish took this opportunity to run madly towards the door behind him, and ran away in a short time.

"Meow!"∑(=ΦДΦ=)

Feishu, who realized that he seemed to be in trouble again, disappeared in the yard instantly.
