Chapter 211 Tracking
Compared with "big cats" such as tigers and lions, the appearance of black-footed cats is almost the same as that of ordinary cats. However, no matter how Fish changes, it only changes the coat color, and he is still the little tabby cat inside.
Although the form change spell can also shrink the body, it has its limit just like when it becomes bigger. Fish can currently only shrink to two-thirds of his original body size. Even if it can increase the success rate of evading the curse, it still has its limit. The increase is extremely limited.
"What's wrong, meow?"
ω
Fish held the "Encyclopedia of Cats of the World" that Hermione gave him, turned to the page about black-footed cats, and fell into deep thought.
After all, the process of his transformation into a clouded leopard happened naturally and naturally. Although he did have a slightly different premonition at the time, it was difficult for Feixu to tell him the reason.
"Eh? Fei Xu, are you reading this book again?"
Ron, who returned to the dormitory, came over curiously, looked at the book in front of Fish and asked.
"What do you want to become this time?"
Although Fish has not revealed his clouded leopard form to his roommates, he occasionally looks through various cat encyclopedias given to him by Hermione and others in the dormitory or common room, so everyone knows it. Fish wanted to become a leopard or a tiger.
And everyone has seen his ability to transform into different breeds of cats.
"Black-footed cat...is this a wild cat too? It looks no different from ordinary cats."
Ron looked at the introduction about black-footed cats in the book and looked at Fish with some confusion.
"This change shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
"No, meow..." (ˇˇ)
Feishu shook his head seriously and said, "Fish has tried several times, but he still can't become such a cat."
He raised his palm and added: "I can't even turn my claws black, meow."
The only things that Fish can change are his body shape and coat color. As for the black-footed cat’s iconic black pads, Fish is currently unable to do anything about it.
"Um……"
Many times, Ron couldn't understand Fish's various whims, so after pondering for a moment, he once again felt that he didn't want to pursue Fish's ideas and directly changed the topic.
"Do you know what's going on with George and Fred? They've been secretive recently and don't talk much. It feels so strange."
After the series of events last semester and the fact that Harry was a Parseltongue this semester, Ron already knew that if he asked Fish about anything, he would always get some special news or clues.
"The two of them, meow?"
Fei Xu tilted his head and recalled that the two of them seemed to have become much more settled after the start of school, and even talked less.
But recently Fish had to go to Professor McGonagall to hear new stories, and he had to run back and forth between his two big friends, so he didn't pay much attention to the twins' movements.
So he shook his head and said, "I don't know, Meow, Feishu has been busy recently!"
(`ω≡`ω)
But after Ron mentioned it, his curiosity arose, "But Fei can help you secretly observe Meow."
Anyway, Ouroboros and Kanaloa can't fight each other anymore, and there's no clue about turning into a black-footed cat. It's better to find some new fun for yourself...like tracking the twins or something.
However, after following them for a few days, Fish didn't find anything strange. Apart from the fact that the twins became less talkative and calmer, they were not much different from usual.
Until one day, Fish heard Fred say to George very quietly: "Tonight is the full moon, it's time to take the next step."
So that night, before Fish was about to go out for a walk, he gave a wild mark to the twins who were playing cards in the common room. Then he slowly walked out of the dormitory and ran to find Professor McGonagall to listen to the story.
After successfully arousing Fish's interest with Dumbledore's story, Professor McGonagall became more enthusiastic about collecting the experiences of other professors when they were young.
In addition, she also wrote letters to former colleagues in the Ministry of Magic and other members of the Animagus Club, collecting various interesting stories from them.
Then, some magical knowledge was inserted into these stories in every possible way, so that Fish could remember them without even realizing it.
Professor McGonagall even tried to add this teaching method to some lower-grade courses, and achieved good teaching results.
If he hadn't been busy making up a story for Fish, Professor McGonagall would have started writing a related paper at this time and submitted it to "Transfiguration Today".
"...The young Professor Flitwick used an exquisite volley of thousands of bullets, controlling countless stones to hit the classmates who provoked him, making them run away with their heads in their hands..."
At this time, Professor McGonagall was telling Fish about the story of how Professor Flitwick taught those classmates who had discriminated against him when he was a student. He also took out his wand and demonstrated the magic spell of firing ten thousand bullets.
Feishu, who was listening with great interest, suddenly turned his head and looked at the ceiling behind him.
"What's the matter, Fish?"
Professor McGonagall followed his gaze upwards, but could not find anything.
"It's nothing, meow..." Fish's eyes wandered for a moment, then quickly recovered. He stared at Professor McGonagall with a pair of big innocent eyes, "Fish just heard about Loris." The sound of meow.”
ω
"So that's it..."
Professor McGonagall didn't believe it at all. Just as Fish's ability to lie was improving, Professor McGonagall's ability to identify Fish's lies was also improving.
She had already discovered that when the little fur cat in front of her was lying, she no longer avoided her gaze as before, but now looked at her confidently.
However, Professor McGonagall did not ask further questions, just nodded slightly and continued to tell the story of Professor Flitwick.
"After that, those bad boys were not reconciled and planned another prank against Professor Flitwick..."
Professor McGonagall told the story in a leisurely manner, and Fish also recovered his thoughts and continued to listen with interest.
However, what the kitten didn't know was that during Professor McGonagall's demonstration of the spell, a tracking spell also quietly fell on him.
"...The story ends here for now, you can go and play by yourself."
Soon, the story was finished. Professor McGonagall reached out and rubbed Fish's head and said as usual.
"Good night Minerva, meow~"●ω●
Stepping forward and hugging Professor McGonagall, Fish turned into a tabby cat with a backflip, then opened a crack in the door and slipped out of the office.
According to the aura returned by the wild mark, the twins walked up to the astronomy tower after leaving the dormitory, and then stayed there without moving.
Fish didn't need to avoid other people when going out for a night out like them, so he quickly arrived at the astronomy tower.
Then he saw the twins each holding a small glass bottle and pouring something into it.
"What are you doing meow?"
(●ω●)
Fei Xu appeared silently behind the two of them, squeezed his head through the gap between the two, and asked curiously.
"Wow--!"
"Ouch!"
This frightened the twins so much that they shook violently and almost lost their grip on the bottles in their hands.
Fortunately, the two of them did a lot of sneaky things and reacted in time, so it didn't lead to tragedy.
"It's Fei Xu...you scared me to death..."
Fred breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the person coming was Fish.
Then he did not answer Fish's question. Instead, he and George checked the glass bottles in their hands to make sure there was nothing wrong with them.
"What kind of bottle are you holding? Is it delicious?"
(●﹃●)
Fish asked again, staring at the bottles in their hands.
"No, no! This is not delicious!"
The twins waved their hands repeatedly and were about to put the bottle into their pockets.
"I wouldn't do this if I were you."
Professor McGonagall, who had followed Fish all the way, revealed his figure.
"Professor McGonagall?!"
The twins' faces instantly paled, and they subconsciously hid the bottles in their hands behind their backs.
"Minerva! Why are you following Feishu like the bad old man?"
(●`Д●)
Fish, however, protested to Professor McGonagall very unhappily.
Reaching out to hold down the little fur cat jumping in front of him, Professor McGonagall continued to say to the twins with a straight face: "After the Animagus potion is exposed to the moonlight, you must ensure that it is not disturbed by prying eyes. The two bottles in your hand had already expired when Fei Xu made a sound. If you continue to use them, you may eventually become half-man and half-animal."
Then she tapped Fei Xu's little head again, "Fortunately, I came with you, otherwise you little guy would have caused them misery."
"Feixu obviously didn't do anything!"
∑(●ΦДΦ●)
Feishu, who didn't understand the situation, said he didn't take the blame. He just followed the twins here to have a look. Why did he harm them?
Even if the twins were caught, it was because Minerva was following him secretly, and he was completely unaware of it.
What bad thoughts can a kitten have?
