Chapter 304 On the Hogwarts Express

"Hello, meow!"

(●ΦωΦ●)

Fish walked to the door with Hermione in his hand, and then stopped in front of the cart, staring at the snacks on the cart with a greedy look.

"It's Fish," Fish, the witch who runs the cart, actually knew her and lived in Hogsmeade. She reached out and touched Fish's little head, then grabbed a handful of licorice wands from the cart and stuffed them into Fish's hand, "Come on, auntie will treat you."

"Fish wants three more cakes like that," the kitten pointed to the cauldron-shaped cake on the cart, and then took out the pocket money that Professor McGonagall gave him before getting on the cart, "Fish, pay meow."

(●ΦωΦ●)つ

Fish handed over the money while continuing to pick snacks on the cart.

On the other side, Daphne, Pansy and Millicent stared at Hermione next to Fish with jealousy. They just saw Fish take the initiative to hold Hermione's hand.

Although they knew that Fish probably didn't have that kind of thought, it didn't stop them from being envious and jealous.

Besides... Hermione was a Muggle-born Gryffindor, and she was born to be incompatible with them.

It wasn't until Fish bought food and pulled Hermione into the compartment that Daphne and the others reluctantly looked away.

"Tina, long time no see, meow."

As soon as they entered the compartment, Tina, the Persian cat raised by Millicent, came over and kept rubbing against Fish's calves.

Fish picked Tina up and touched noses with her.

Originally, Daphne had considered letting her sister buy a pet cat to get closer to Fish, but after two years, she found that doing so was not very meaningful, so she gave up.

"Fish, let me introduce you, this is my sister Astoria Greengrass, a freshman this year."

Daphne pulled up a little girl who looked a bit like her and introduced her to Fish.

"Hello, meow," Feishi greeted, put Tina on the table in the compartment, and then picked two snacks he had just bought and handed them to her, "Feishu will treat you to food, meow."

（●ΦωΦ●）つ

"Thank you."

Daphne's sister excitedly took the snacks Feishi handed over, and then continued to stare at the cat ears on his head.

"Are your ears real? Can I touch them?"

Astoria asked cautiously.

"Yes, but you have to be gentle, meow."

Feishu shook his cat ears and lowered his head. He didn't mind others touching him... as long as there was a limit.

Astoria gently pinched Feishi's cat ears, then took back her hand and shouted to Daphne excitedly: "Sister! I touched it! So soft and cute!"

Feishu stood up, and seeing that Daphne and the others looked a little strange, he quickly protected his cat ears with both hands.

"No, I won't let you touch meow!"

(●`ω●)

Daphne and the others sighed together, with regretful expressions on their faces.

Fish and Hermione didn't stay with Daphne and the others for long.

Because the cat suddenly felt that this place was a bit "dangerous", and Hermione, who hated the pure-bloods of Slytherin, naturally had no interest in staying, so after a brief chat, the two of them left the compartment with a lot of snacks regardless of Daphne and the others' retention, and ran to meet Harry and the others.

Soon, they found Harry and the other two in the compartment at the rear of the car. In addition to them, there was a strange man sleeping by the window in the compartment.

The wizard robe on this man was very shabby and full of patches. He looked even poorer than Ron, and looked sickly. He seemed to be very young, but his hair was a little gray.

"Who is he?"

Hermione asked in a low voice, fearing that she would wake him up.

Ginny pointed to the luggage rack above the other person's head. Hermione looked up and saw a tattered little box on the rack, tied with many ropes. On the corner of the box, the words "R.J. Lupin" were written.

"We guess he is the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year." Ron said in a low voice, and then he curled his lips, "But he doesn't look very good..."

Hermione shrugged indifferently and said, "I think there shouldn't be a worse professor than Lockhart."

The others nodded in agreement.

At this time, the kitten, who was not interested in their topic, came to Professor Lupin and twitched his nose slightly.

ω

Fish frowned and looked at the sleeping Lupin carefully.

Although the smell was normal, Fish felt that there was something wrong with the other person. Anyway, it didn't feel good to the cat.

After thinking for a while with his head tilted, the kitten stretched out his finger and gently poked Lupin's sick face twice.

"Fish! Stop it!"

Hermione lowered her voice and shouted, and hurried forward to drag him back.

After pulling Fish back, Hermione and Ginny looked at the sleeping Lupin with trepidation. Fortunately, the other party seemed to be sleeping very deeply, keeping the previous posture, leaning against the window without moving.

Harry and Ron did not pay attention to Lupin's reaction, but looked at each other in surprise. As Fish's roommates, they knew that the cat would not disturb others' sleep at will in the first semester, and Fish's behavior just now seemed very abnormal.

They don't think that Fish is targeting Professor Lupin for no reason. Fish is naughty, but unlike the twins, he rarely plays pranks...

Well, except when facing Professor McGonagall. After all, Fish's biggest wish is to defeat Professor McGonagall one day.

But that can only be said to be a parent-child activity at McGonagall's house, not a prank.

So when Fish first met this person who is likely to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he behaved in such a rude manner. Maybe the kitten noticed something unusual!

Harry and Ron both trust the cat's perception ability. After all, Fish would suddenly throw out some secrets of others from time to time, which he discovered by accident...

And the Voldemort that stuck to Quirrell's head in the first year, and the Voldemort's diary in the second year, were all solved by Fish.

So Harry asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this person, Fish?"

The kitten continued to frown, and answered uncertainly, "Fish doesn't know, but he gives Fish a strange feeling, a bit like the big spiders in the Forbidden Forest."

ω

"Spider!"

Ron screamed, and quickly moved his butt towards Harry, subconsciously wanting to stay away from Lupin.

"Fish didn't say he was a spider meow," the kitten waved his hand, sorted out his words, and explained, "What I mean is that he gives me a feeling that is a bit like those animals with bad tempers meow, but in fact it is not quite the same, and Fish can't explain it meow... In short, he doesn't seem to be a good person meow."

(ˇˇ)

Harry and others looked at each other in surprise.

You know, even Quirrell, who has Voldemort on his head, and Lockhart, the big liar, have never received such an evaluation from Fish...

What is the origin of this new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? !

Actually, I am quite curious. The repair spell is not a high-level magic, so why is there a patch on Lupin's robe...┑(￣Д￣)┍
