Chapter 36 Back Home!

"Dear Ronnie, we brothers haven't had a good talk for a while."

"That's right, let's find a quiet place to strengthen our brotherhood!"

George and Fred, with a fake smile, put their arms around Ron's neck and dragged him aside to talk, while Firth, the instigator, patted his butt and ran to tease others as if nothing had happened.

"Um... Um!!"

Harry and Neville watched Ron being forcibly dragged away by his twin brother with his mouth covered. They could only give him a look of blessing, and then continued to bury their heads and "learn" from each other's homework and write furiously.

With Firth's "enthusiastic help", Harry and his friends once again rushed to finish their homework until late at night. The people who were already sleepy said good night to each other, climbed into their beds, and quickly fell asleep.

Firth would never disturb others' sleep, and when all the Gryffindor students fell asleep, that was when Firth began to patrol the territory.

After getting out of the dormitory through the hole in the wall, Firth transformed himself into the appearance of Mrs. Norris.

This was a little secret he discovered a few days ago. If Mrs. Norris was wandering around the school at night, they would not be scolded even if they met Minerva.

So Firth tried to become Mrs. Norris and took the initiative to wander around Minerva. As expected, Minerva did not recognize him at that time.

In fact, because of her affinity with animals, Professor McGonagall felt something was wrong at that time, but Firth just wandered in front of her for a while and then ran away, so Professor McGonagall did not pay much attention to it, and Firth's trick was not exposed for the time being.

The only one who really discovered Firth's identity, in addition to Dumbledore who often followed behind him in stealth, was Mrs. Norris's big-eyed shit shoveler, but Filch did not expose Firth and even fed him dried fish.

Mrs. Norris was shocked when she saw the change of Fish. She went around Fish and smelled and licked him for a long time before she got used to it.

After Fish changed into Mrs. Norris, he immediately ran to the owl shed in the west tower, which cheered up Dumbledore who was hiding nearby.

Good boy, if I wasn't smart enough, I would have been fooled by you!

The hidden Dumbledore stroked his beard and smiled, and followed Fish closely. He planned to jump out when Fish attacked the owl to scare the boy!

As a headmaster with a strange brain circuit, Dumbledore himself was not a person who followed the rules too much. What's more, he had suffered two setbacks at the hands of Fish, and he was holding back to get back at him.

However, Dumbledore followed Fish all the way to the Owl Shed, but found that things were not quite what he imagined.

Fish had no intention of attacking the owls, but instead returned to his tabby appearance, meowing and communicating with the owls.

For a moment, the meows and coos intertwined in the owl shed, and it seemed that they were really having a conversation.

Dumbledore looked at Fish and the owls "talking" back and forth in surprise, and suddenly he became a little unconfident about his previous speculation that he was a natural Animagus.

It would be fine if he could change the color of his fur, size, or even the breed. After all, Metamorphoges can more or less achieve similar effects. There are precedents for that kind of weird affinity, such as Veela...

But Dumbledore had never heard that Animagus could communicate with other different kinds of animals. Even Parseltongue used snake language to communicate with snakes, but it would not work if the object was changed to lizards or cutlassfish.

But Fish was now using cat language to talk to owls, and even if he changed to the sound of "coo-coo-coo", it would not surprise Dumbledore so much.

He shook his head and put aside all these random thoughts. No matter what happened to Fish, he was now a student of Hogwarts, which was enough for Dumbledore.

On the other side, Fish had also finished discussing with the owls. He shrunk his body to the size of a palm and climbed onto the back of one of the owls.

This was an eagle owl with fine black and brown spots. It had a pair of big yellow-orange eyes and very prominent ear feathers on both sides of its head. Its size was also one of the best among all the owls.

"Meow!" (Let's go!) (ΦωΦ)

Fish gave an excited order, and the eagle owl under him opened its wings, jumped off the shelf, and glided out of the window silently.

"Oh... This is bad..."

Dumbledore, who was hiding aside, touched his crooked nose and suddenly found that this situation seemed to be worse than Fish attacking the owl.

Just now, he didn't react and accidentally let the owl carry Fish away. Now it would be difficult to find him again.

And with Dumbledore's character, he rarely stopped the students of Hogwarts from doing some trivial rebellion...

It might be difficult to explain to Minerva.

Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows, thinking whether he should inform Professor McGonagall as soon as possible, or wait and see if Fish would come back with the owl before dawn.

He was not worried that Fish would get lost, but he was afraid that Fish would have too much fun outside and forget to return to school on time. Then Minerva would definitely be crazy again...

Huh? What am I going to say again?

After thinking for a moment, Dumbledore still didn't want to offend Professor McGonagall. He planned to wait and see. If Fish didn't come back too late, he would ask Orr for help. Anyway, he would keep it a secret from Minerva for now, and wait until he couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

Dumbledore shook his head. He was a little annoyed by Fish, the little guy who would make trouble every other day, so he planned to go back to the principal's office and eat some of his favorite cockroaches to calm down.

Fish, who flew out of Hogwarts on the back of an owl, might not know that the bad old man Dumbledore was having a headache because of his own affairs. If he knew...

He would definitely be very happy.

But Fish was also very happy now, although the speed of an owl was not as fast as a broom, and it could not control the direction in real time like a broom, and had to rely on communicating with the owl.

But no matter what, he... could fly again!

The eagle owl carried Fish around Hogwarts Castle, and then, at Fish's request, turned around and flew to Hogsmeade Village.

After being away from home for so many days, Fish missed his little nest in the villa.

The distance from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade was not far. The owl flew for a while and brought Fish to Professor McGonagall's villa. It folded its wings and landed on the windowsill of the villa, and put Fish down.

"Meow~"

Fish raised his little paw and knocked on the window, calling Comey's name in cat language. After calling, he remembered that Comey also returned to Hogwarts with him, and now there was no one at home.

But this didn't bother him. Fish turned back to human form, took out his wand from his pocket and pointed it at the window.

"Meow! Look at my... Alaho hole!" (ΦωΦ)つ━☆*.

However, the window did not move at all.

Fish looked at the wand in his hand, then at the window that didn't respond at all, and the cat scratched its head in confusion.

"Meow?" (;ω`)>

In the 17th century, the dark wizard Elden Esrickel fled from Africa to England with a leopard cub, and he also brought with him a spell that was not known at the time, the "Friend of Thieves" Alaho-Open, which was taught to him by an old African magician.

Esrickel, who was originally a thief, used the Unlocking Spell to start his career as a thief king in London. Both Muggles and wizards were visited by him, and he occasionally used the Unlocking Spell as an exchange to gain freedom after being caught, which led to many thieves in London at that time.

Finally, a wizard in London named Blagden Bly was visited by thieves nineteen times in two weeks. He couldn't stand it anymore and invented the anti-Alaho-Opening Spell, and the farce gradually subsided.

Since then, almost all wizarding families have used this spell to lock their doors. If you want to use Alaho-Open to open the door of a wizard's house, unless your magic power is much higher than that of the caster.

Otherwise, you can only use a more violent way to crack it - such as the Shattering Spell.

This knowledge point was mentioned in Professor Flitwick's class, but Fish was sleeping at the time.

The "Standard Spells, Elementary" also mentioned its origin and counter-spell in the content of the Unlocking Spell, but Fish only read the method of casting the spell, and he was not interested in other things.

So now he has no idea why his spell is ineffective.

The steps and spells of casting the spell are all correct, right?

Fish raised the wand in his hand and used the Unlocking Spell on the window again.

"Alaho-Open! Meow!" (ΦωΦ)つ━☆*.

The window continued to remain motionless.

Although under the influence of the Heart of Nature, Fish's magic power far exceeds that of most young wizards in Hogwarts, and even some adult wizards with weaker talents cannot match him, there is still a considerable gap compared to Professor McGonagall, an old wizard who has been a genius since childhood.

Moreover, with Fish's temperament, he threw the spell aside after learning it, and did not practice and study it further. Of course, it was impossible to break through the counter-spell carefully laid by Professor McGonagall.

"Coo?"

The eagle owl on the side tilted its head, looked at Fish with a pair of big yellow eyes, and made a questioning cry.

Fish pursed his lips, put away the magic wand that did not play any role, and then stretched out his hands to grab the outer frame of the window.

[Ant Power] [Bull's Brute Force] [Wild Power]

"Meow!" ヽ(●-`Д-)ノ

With the power of the three druid spells, Fish easily pulled down the entire window.

Sure enough, those spells that appeared inexplicably in the mind are more useful!

Throwing the window aside, Fei Xu clapped his hands, nodded with satisfaction, and went into his home with the owl.

If this chapter was updated yesterday, it would be perfect.

It's getting better, friends, Zhongyuan is getting better!

In the past, when I went out and came home, Zhongyuan would come over to take a look when he heard the noise. Now he will send me out, and when I open the door, I can see him squatting at the door waiting for me.

According to the information I checked, the general explanation is that every time you go out, the cat thinks you are looking for food. If you don't come back for a long time, it will think you are dead outside or seriously injured.

Zhongyuan is like this now, probably because he is worried that I will "die" outside again...

But the most important thing is that Zhongyuan will not hold my hand and chew it now! ヾ(o)ヾ
