Chapter 172 Happy Times Are Always Short

Because it was already late when he came back, Harry said goodnight to Fish and the twins, and then followed Ron back to his room. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep immediately.

The next morning, when Harry woke up from the bed and looked at Ron's orange-yellow room, he still felt an unreal illusion.

He didn't expect that he could escape from the Dursleys so easily, and he didn't seem to have to worry about them abusing him again in the future.

Harry followed Ron to the restaurant in a daze, and was called back to his senses by Ginny's scream.

The other people in the Weasley family welcomed Harry with surprise after seeing him.

And Ginny, who was so shy that she couldn't speak when she saw Harry before, gradually regained her composure after screaming.

After spending a few days with Fish, she was inexplicably able to face Harry with a normal heart.

Of course, the twins and Ron, who did all this secretly, were caught by Mrs. Weasley and lectured severely.

However, with Fish's cuteness and Harry's persuasion, Mrs. Weasley quickly let them go, and after learning how the Dursleys abused Harry, she also showed strong indignation.

After having a long-lost hearty breakfast with the Weasleys and Fish, Harry told Ron and the others about his previous experience.

"So, the elf is actually doing it for your own good?"

Ron frowned, seeming to have some complaints about Dobby's behavior.

The twins directly expressed their doubts.

"This is very strange," George said, "He won't even tell you who is planning this."

"Yes," Harry shrugged helplessly, "When this topic is brought up, he starts banging his head against the wall."

"Comey often bangs his head against the wall, meow," Fish, who was bullying the magic chess pieces made by the twins, suddenly looked up and interrupted, "Other elves in the kitchen also have this hobby."

"Well... Is this probably a common way they punish themselves?"

Fred, who had doubts, hesitated again at this time, "If this is really the case, then it is possible that he really came to inform you without telling his master."

"But I have never heard of an elf betraying his master."

George still insisted on his previous opinion that Dobby was instructed by someone to deliberately prevent Harry from returning to school.

The crowd discussed it enthusiastically for a while, but they could not come to a definite conclusion, and finally it was left unresolved.

After all, they couldn't find the house elf named Dobby at all, and it was a waste of time and energy to discuss it.

Then Harry brought up another topic -

"Ron, how much of your summer homework have you done? My stuff has been locked up by Vernon and the others, and I haven't done anything."

"Hahaha, is that so?" Ron scratched his hair awkwardly, "That's great, we can finish our summer homework together."

This means that he hasn't done anything either.

Harry quickly understood what his friend meant.

"This is too outrageous, dear little Ronnie," Fred put his arm around Ron's shoulders, "This is only your first year in school, and you haven't done your summer homework until now. If your mother finds out..."

"You're dead!" George added firmly.

"Look at what Fish is doing, meow?" ω

Fei Shi noticed the gazes from Ron and Harry, and raised his chin proudly, "Fish's homework is almost done, meow! Otherwise, Minerva wouldn't allow me to visit you."

Then he handed the chess piece in his hand back to George, "The chess piece you made is too fragile, meow."

George and Fred looked at the chess piece that had been broken into two pieces and wanted to cry without tears. This was the final version of the chess piece that they had spent a lot of effort to complete. It was also because of the completion of this chess piece that they had time to go pick up Harry with Ron...

Now they have to spend time to do it again.

Fortunately, with a successful experience, it is much easier to do it again. Besides, what bad intentions could Fish have? The twins could only smile bitterly and forgive the cat who had no apology in the first place.

In the days that followed, Percy was busy writing letters to Penelope, the twins were busy making their magic Monopoly, and Harry and Ron were busy catching up on their summer homework.

Only Fish was playing around freely, and even slipped out of the Burrow from time to time to go for a stroll in Ottery St. Catchpole Village. He successfully conquered the cats and dogs in the village and marked the entire village as his own territory.

But such good days did not last too long. A few days later, Professor McGonagall came to the Burrow again through the Floo powder, intending to take Fish back.

After all, his summer homework was not finished yet, and as a professor at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall already knew the course schedule and the requirements for the books to be purchased in advance, so she also planned to take Fish to Diagon Alley tomorrow.

What's more, the food expenses of this little guy Fish were really a bit high after he fell in love with Chinese food. Professor McGonagall was worried that Mrs. Weasley could not afford textbooks this year... Lockhart's eating style was too ugly. He actually prepared seven textbooks for his courses, and each one was very expensive.

So, it would be better to take Fish back as soon as possible.

But when she walked out of the fireplace, she saw an unexpected figure.

"Potter?"

"Professor McGonagall!"

Seeing his headmaster suddenly emerge from the flames of the fireplace, Harry was so shocked that he almost lost his balance and the tea in his cup splashed out, wetting his front.

Professor McGonagall nodded to Harry calmly, "Good morning, are you also visiting the Weasleys?"

"Yes, yes."

Harry stood up straight and answered honestly.

After nodding again, Professor McGonagall looked around, then walked out, saying as she walked, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to pick up Fish."

She didn't notify the Weasleys before coming, mainly because she wanted to make a surprise attack to see if Fish was obedient.

So when Professor McGonagall followed the noise to the Weasleys' yard, she saw Fish chasing a group of fat chickens around.

"Fish!"

Professor McGonagall shouted the kitten's name loudly, and the veins on her forehead bulged and expanded with the heavy breath from her nose.

"Meow~"●ω●

Fish, who was having fun, just noticed Professor McGonagall's arrival. He immediately jumped into her arms, put his two front paws on her collar, and stretched out his head to rub around Professor McGonagall's chin.

A gentle smile flashed across Professor McGonagall's face, and she quickly put on a stern face again, grabbed Fish's neck and lifted him up, so that his kitten face was facing her.

"Meow?"

Fish tilted his little head and looked at Professor McGonagall with a confused cat face, not understanding why she was angry.

At this time, Mrs. Weasley heard the noise and rushed out of the house.

"Minerva, why did you come here without saying hello?"

"Good morning, Molly."

Professor McGonagall took Fish back into her arms, turned around and greeted Mrs. Weasley, then pinched Fish's round cheeks and sighed, "You indulge Fish too much. If this little rascal is not disciplined, he will only become more and more unscrupulous."

"Meow!" (=`Д=)

Fish pushed Professor McGonagall's hand away with his little paw, and raised his head in dissatisfaction and called out to her.

Thinking of the various bottles and jars that had been broken at home during this period of time, and the chaos caused by Fish sneaking out of the Burrow and being seen by other Muggles with cat ears and cat tails, Mrs. Weasley, who had a deep understanding, laughed dryly twice.

However, she was still in the early stages of cat addicts, so she took the initiative to cover up for Fish, saying, "Fish was just playing with the chickens. Children, it's better to be lively."

That's right.

The kitten nodded in agreement in Professor McGonagall's arms without any self-awareness.

How can a cat be mean as soon as they meet? Fish has been very well behaved recently!

"By the way, Minerva, why are you here this time?"

Mrs. Weasley finally asked Professor McGonagall about her purpose.

"I'm here to take Fish back. He's been here for a long time, and he hasn't finished his summer homework yet."

Professor McGonagall answered, looking down at the confused cat in her arms, with a kind smile on her face.

"Meow!"∑(=ΦДΦ=)
