Chapter 496 Christmas Ball

One thing to say, aside from Fish who has always been very cute, Professor McGonagall and Hermione, who have also become cat people, do look quite beautiful.

I don’t know if it’s because of the polyjuice potion optimized by Snape, or because they all used cat hair from their own Animagus forms. In short, they turned into half-human and half-cat forms at this moment, which looked like It's more natural and much better than the previous transformation.

And Fei Xu probably used his own hair, and that inexplicable affinity was actually enhanced in this state. The students around him even felt like they were seeing Fei Xu for the first time.

"Stand here and don't move!"

Professor McGonagall knocked Fish on the head angrily, pulled him to his side, and then glanced around the students in the hall, making the commotion gradually quiet down.

After a while, people gradually arrived, and the three warriors, Harry, Fleur and Krum, also came to Fish with their respective dance partners.

"This is what you are doing?"

Fleur looked at Fish and Hermione, who had hairy faces, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"It should be Polyjuice Potion." Her dance partner Roger Davis helpfully explained: "Hermione and Professor McGonagall drank it once in the past two years, but last time Professor McGonagall turned into a lion... Well……"

After Davis finished speaking, he realized that Professor McGonagall was glaring at him with cold eyes. He quickly shrank his head and stopped showing off in front of Fleur.

At eight o'clock, the door to the auditorium was opened. Professor McGonagall withdrew her gaze from Roger Davis, letting the four warriors and their dance partners stand on both sides of the door, and then directed the others to go first. Enter the auditorium.

Fei Xu, who wanted to go in early to eat, pursed his lips, but did not make a fuss at this juncture.

(ω)

Fish looked impatiently as he watched other students pass in front of him, his tail swinging unconsciously behind him, hitting Hermione and Professor McGonagall on the legs next to him.

Professor McGonagall glanced at Maomao and said nothing more, while Hermione gently stroked Fish's back, soothing the anxiety in Maomao's heart.

When almost everyone passed by Fish, they couldn't help but raise their arms slightly, as if they wanted to take the opportunity to touch him. Even Fred did so directly.

"Snapped!"

(ω)

The cat in a bad mood would not give him face, so he slapped away the other person's extended paw.

Fred could only sneer under the stern gaze of Professor McGonagall, and was dragged into the auditorium by his dance partner Angelina.

"Brother Feishu!"

Gabrielle also attended tonight's dance, accompanied by a Beauxbatons boy. She jumped directly on Fish as she passed by.

"How did you become like this? Gabrielle wants it too!" the little girl asked Maomao.

"Gabriel! How did you promise me?!" Fleur glared at her sister fiercely and asked sternly.

"snort!"

Gabrielle reluctantly let go of Fish and stared back with a little pout, but in the end she still followed her "dance partner" in slowly.

After everyone was seated in the auditorium, Professor McGonagall asked the warriors and their dance partners to line up two by two and follow her in. They filed in and headed towards a large round table in front of the auditorium where the referees were sitting. The students in the auditorium applauded enthusiastically.

However, several referees and other professors on the teacher's table did not applaud. After all, they had not been in the foyer before and did not know Fei Xu's situation, so when they saw the three leaders walking in with cat heads on their heads, At this time, they were all stunned for a moment.

It was the professors at Hogwarts who had experience and came to their senses first. When they looked at Professor McGonagall at the front, their eyes were full of smiles. Only the situation of the two professors was slightly different...

Although Professor Moody was also smiling, his magic eye quickly glanced at Snape on the other side.

As the culprit, Snape avoided the sight of Professor McGonagall with a guilty conscience. When Fish came to him to improve the polyjuice potion, he didn't even ask about its use. Who knew it would be used at this time? And he even hooked up with Professor McGonagall!

As soon as he saw Professor McGonagall's gaze that seemed to turn him into a toad, Snape knew that the "strict-mouthed" cat must have told her everything.

Professor McGonagall led Fish and the others to the guest of honor seat at the teacher's table. Dumbledore was sitting in the middle with a smile on his face, and the other four referees were sitting on either side of him.

It's just that Barty Crouch's place was replaced by a face that Fish, Hermione, Harry and Parvati were very familiar with - the graduated former Gryffindor Student Union President and Prefect. , Percy Weasley who is now working in the Ministry of Magic.

Sensing Fish's and others' gazes, Percy smiled and nodded in response.

Dumbledore looked at Professor McGonagall with a smile, intending to tease her, but looking at the cold light in the other person's cat eyes, the headmaster wisely chose to give up.

Then he looked at Fish behind Professor McGonagall and waved to Maomao, "Fish, sit next to me with Hermione."

"No." Maomao refused simply, "Fish wants to sit with Minerva."

"Okay..." Dumbledore shook his head regretfully, "Warriors, please take your seats."

Fleur and Krum sat next to their headmaster, while Harry sat next to Percy. Firth and Hermione followed Professor McGonagall to the edge of the main guest seat. On the other side were Fleur and Davis who were sitting next to Ms. Maxime.

After Firth sat down, the empty plate in front of him was not filled as quickly as before. Maomao tapped the plate with a fork in confusion. Comey and the others still did not bring him food.

(ω)

Just when Maomao was unhappy because he had nothing to eat, Dumbledore picked up a small menu in front of everyone, looked at it carefully, and shouted to the empty plate in front of him: "Pork chop!"

The pork chop appeared immediately. The others at the table suddenly realized and followed suit, ordering their favorite food on the plate.

Fish also picked up his menu, looked through it from beginning to end, and then raised his knife and fork in both hands and shouted: "Give Fish a portion of all the food on it, meow!"

Ψ(==)ie

The table in front of Fish was instantly filled with all kinds of food, but this was only part of the menu, and there was really no room for the rest of the food.

However, the elves of Hogwarts did not just ignore it, but kept an eye on Fish's situation at all times, and as soon as there was a gap, they would immediately replenish new food.

Since Dobby brought Fish's Christmas gift back to the kitchen, the priority of cats in the hearts of the elves has been comparable to that of Dumbledore, the headmaster.

Everyone was eating while communicating with their dance partners or friends, and although Fish ate very quickly, he did not forget to feed Hermione and Professor McGonagall food from time to time.

Gradually, everyone stopped using their knives and forks, only Fish was still quickly putting food into his mouth, and as soon as a plate in front of him was empty, new food would be served immediately.

The hall suddenly became a strange scene where a group of people watched Fish eating.

Hermione, who was sitting next to the cat, lowered her head and even refused the food that the cat occasionally handed over. If it weren't for the black hair on her face, her face would definitely be red now.

"Meow~ I'm so full~"

(=ω=)

Finally finishing all the food on the menu, Fish threw the knife and fork in his hand on the table, and then collapsed on the chair, squinting his eyes and gently patting his swollen belly.

"Would you like more, Fish?" Dumbledore leaned over and asked with a smile.

"Um... Fish can't eat anymore, meow..."

ω

The cat frowned and answered with regret.

Dumbledore stood up and asked the students below to stand up as well. Then he waved his wand, and all the tables flew to the wall, leaving a space in the middle.

He conjured up another high stage, attached to the right wall, on which were placed a drum set, several guitars, a lute, a cello and several organs.

Several hairy wizards in tattered black robes walked onto the stage and picked up the instruments on the stage.

The audience burst into thunderous applause and shouted the name of the band.

"Weird Sisters?" Firth was confused, and he looked at Hermione beside him, "But they are obviously men?"

(=ω=)

"Who cares? It's our turn to dance."

Hermione was too lazy to think about why all the members of this band called Weird Sisters were men. She took Firth's furry hand and dragged him to the center of the dance floor.

The other three warriors also walked to the dance floor with their partners. At the same time, the lanterns in other places were extinguished, and only the open space in the center of the hall was brightly lit.

Fich still knows how to dance. To be exact, after knowing there was a dance, Hermione specially taught Fich how to dance. Although Fich didn't like that kind of slow dance very much, it was simple, so the cat learned it quickly.

Accompanied by a slow and sad song played by the Weird Sisters, the two walked into the dance floor.

Fich, as he remembered, put one hand around Hermione's waist and held her tightly with the other hand. The two bodies were almost pressed together. Then Fich lowered his head and gently put his cat head against Hermione's cat head. Then the two followed the rhythm of the music, slowly shaking their bodies while taking small steps and turning in circles on the dance floor.

In the official setting, all members of the Weird Sisters are wizards, and they are also male in the movie. It seems that a real rock band was specially invited to play the Weird Sisters.

However, in the Chinese version of HP, the description of the Weird Sisters uses "they", which is easy to understand. In English, "they, them, and them" are all commonly used as "They", so the name of the Weird Sisters led them astray.

…

My original plot design was that Fish disguised the Polyjuice Potion as vegetable soup at the banquet, and then turned everyone into cat people. Later, it was discovered that this banquet was actually a made-to-order system...

And after careful consideration, the Polyjuice Potion in the cat's hand was not enough. After all, Snape's materials were all used up. It was too late to make more, so I had to give up.

My hands hurt, and I didn't want to write. I was supposed to go to the hospital for vertigo, but I didn't go. I took some medicine for injuries at the community hospital. Now it's difficult to do anything.
