Chapter 231 Dumbledore Gets What He Deserves
Because Fish was very interested in potions like Polyjuice Potion, after taking Harry and the others into the Room of Requirement, Fish did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stayed aside and watched Hermione mix the two-eared grass, leeches, and lacewings. Insects and other materials were thrown into the crucible according to the steps.
While stirring the potion in the cauldron, Hermione raised her wand and muttered something to the liquid in the pot.
When brewing a potion, you always need some magic guidance, and complex potions like polyjuice require the assistance of a wand. If you are not careful, the brewed potion may turn into poison. , so when making potions, especially high-level potions, not only a high level of magic is required, but also enough patience and care.
Even if Muggles obtain all the raw materials and strictly follow the instructions, they still cannot make potions because they cannot use magic, and what they end up with will be useless waste.
Fish, who had made many potions, naturally knew that he could not disturb Hermione at this time. He, Ron, and Harry stayed aside and watched Hermione finish reading and matching the Polyjuice Potion. The curse.
"Okay," Hermione retracted her wand and touched the sweat on her forehead, "Next, you just need to come here every other week to use magic guidance, and wait until the twenty-first day to add the horns of the bicorn and the African tree. Snake skin, then continue to cook for two weeks, and finally add the materials needed for the transformer, and you’re done.”
Hermione explained the extremely complicated production process with a relaxed expression.
"Meow!"

Feishu was shocked, "It actually took so long?!"
The longest potions I learned in potions class only took less than two classes, but this polyjuice potion actually took a month!
Feishu, who originally wanted to try making it when he had time in the future, gave up the idea instantly.
It's better to wait for Hermione's potion.
…
The brewing of polyjuice potion was left to Hermione and the others. Fish also needed to prepare some black-footed cat hair or nails, so in the evening, after listening to the story from Professor McGonagall, he went straight to Run to Dumbledore's office...
Although Fish knew that Dumbledore was following him invisibly, he still pretended to sneak into the principal's office.
When Dumbledore saw Fish entering his office, he did not show up immediately. Instead, he pretended that he was not there. After waiting outside for a while, he showed his body and took the rotating car from the third floor. Return to your office by the stairs.
"Fish, why are you free to come see me tonight?"
When Dumbledore returned to the office, he saw Fish playing with the Sorting Hat again, and quickly stepped forward to save the poor Sorting Hat.
"Dumbledore, I think you can lock me up after the Sorting Ceremony."
The Sorting Hat suggested to Dumbledore very seriously that it would rather hide in a dark cupboard and sleep instead of being tormented by Fish from time to time.
Dumbledore pretended not to hear.
Just kidding, if he hid the Sorting Hat, wouldn't he have one less reason to attract Fish to come and play?
Anyway, Feixu had a measured approach and would not really damage the Sorting Hat.
"Albus, you're back~"
(●ΦωΦ●)
Fish returned to his cat form, sat on his desk, pretended to be surprised, and greeted Dumbledore.
"Yeah, I just went to the kitchen. At this time, I always want something to eat."
Dumbledore smiled and took out several plates of steaming food from his pocket, which he originally planned to eat while following Fish.
"Want some?"
"Of course, meow!"
(●ω●)
Fish was not in a hurry to explain his purpose, so he jumped off his desk and sat across from Dumbledore for a late-night snack.
The two chatted while eating, from their feelings in class, to Professor McGonagall's stories, to the murderer who attacked Mrs. Norris. It was as if Dumbledore had never followed Fish at all, and Fish He also looked like he had no idea he was being followed.
The old man and the young man acted in perfect harmony with each other.
After finishing the late night snack, Fish put down the knife and fork in his hand, licked the grease on the corner of his mouth, and finally explained his purpose to Dumbledore.
"Albus, can you do Fish a favor?"
"Oh? Tell me."
Dumbledore straightened up. It was rare that Fish asked him for help, so he was still very curious.
Fish took out the magic pocket given to him by Dumbledore, took out the "Encyclopedia of Cats in the World" from it, and then turned to the page about black-footed cats.
"This meow."
Spreading the book on the desk, Fish pointed to the photo of the cute kitten on it and said: "Fish wanted to become a black-footed cat, but he never succeeded, so Albus, can you Can you help me find some of its hair?"
(●ω●)
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "Just hair?"
"Yes, meow."
Fish nodded. He was not afraid of exposing the Polyjuice Potion, as long as Harry and the others were not mentioned. Moreover, he did not want Dumbledore to give away the black-footed cat that was living well in the wild because of his own affairs. Take them away from their gathering places.
Not all cats are like me and can live well everywhere.
"Yeah... no problem."
Dumbledore didn't ask in detail. He just took some hair from ordinary animals. This couldn't be easier for him. He was more curious about whether Fish could really become a black-footed cat in this way.
Although he had long known that Fish could transform into other breeds of cats, the black-footed cat's situation seemed a little different. This was a good opportunity to learn more about Fish, and Dumbledore would not miss it.
As for whether there will be any problems if animal hair is used in Polyjuice...
It’s not like there’s no precedent before, so it’s not difficult to recover.
Besides, Dumbledore felt that that kind of question was irrelevant to Fish. He already knew that Fish had a furry cat-man form.
"As long as I inform you as soon as I get it, just wait for my good news."
Dumbledore reached out with a smile and touched Fish's little head.
Since he had something to ask for, Fish did not resist this time and obediently let Dumbledore stroke his cat's head.
Dumbledore also knew that the opportunity was rare, and he only withdrew his hand with satisfaction after touching Fish's tail and showing signs of impatience.
"Thank you, meow! Fei Xu is going to play in the Forbidden Forest now!"
Seeing Dumbledore retract his hand wisely, Fish thanked him, stood up and ran outside.
Watching Fish walk out of his office with a smile on his face, Dumbledore immediately disappeared and followed.
Even if Fish went to the Forbidden Forest to play, Dumbledore would always follow him. After all, Fish had a fight with Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest last semester.
Moreover, who knows whether the entrance and exit of the Chamber of Secrets will happen to be in the Forbidden Forest. Compared with Hogwarts Castle, the Forbidden Forest is obviously more suitable for the so-called "Secret Room Monster" activities.
The only troublesome thing is...
Because Professor McGonagall has taught Fish the anti-tracking spell, Fish will now give him one before going out at night. It was fine when he was in the castle, but in the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore's spell was needed. Old fate...
After entering the Forbidden Forest, Fish was running around happily. Coupled with Fox's recent aging, Dumbledore couldn't even use Apparition well.
In order not to follow Duffy, Dumbledore had almost no time to rest in the Forbidden Forest, and he couldn't even think about playing chess or anything like that.
"well……"
Dumbledore looked at the kitten running happily towards the Forbidden Forest in front of him and sighed deeply.
He shouldn't have persuaded Professor McGonagall to relax his control over Fish in the first place!

I remember reading a certain HP fanfic before, which used Muggle human resources to mass-produce potions and make money in Muggle society... Obviously I didn't read the settings on the official website.
