Chapter 619: Attentive Umbridge
Although Umbridge acted amiable, Fish was not unaware of her ulterior motives.
Ever since she returned to school, Fish's beast instinct began to warn him, and the malice transmitted from Umbridge basically never stopped...
It's just that Fish was skilled and courageous, and he didn't take Umbridge's malice to heart at all.
Moreover, after the last attack, Fish even felt that Umbridge's strength was not as good as most members of the Cat Club. Not only was she slow to react, but her psychological quality was also poor. She would start screaming and screaming if she was scared.
So he didn't worry about any danger to himself at all, but was a little curious about what Umbridge wanted to do...
What's more, there was food!
The two came to Umbridge's office one after another, which was also the office of Quirrell, Lockhart, Lupin, and Moody (Little Barty).
Except for the fact that Fish had never been here because Quirrell was too smelly in his first year, the cat had run to the offices of the other three Defense Against the Dark Arts professors more than once during their tenure.
The three professors' offices have their own styles. Lockhart, who likes to show off, decorated his office very gorgeously. If he didn't like to fill his office with his own photos, it would actually be quite beautiful overall, but with the "most charming smile" on the wall, the style suddenly became a little weird.
Poor Lupin's office is very simple, just the opposite of Lockhart. There are basically no other extra things in it except some necessary teaching aids.
Moody's, or Barty Jr.'s office, seems a bit messy. There are all kinds of magic props and handicrafts in it to detect other people's misconduct and hiding places, and of course the big box with seven locks that holds the real Moody.
Umbridge's office is another style.
The color scheme of the whole room is dominated by Umbridge's favorite pink. Everything is covered with lace cloths and tablecloths, which are basically pink. There are also several vases filled with dried flowers, each placed on a separate small cushion.
However, Fish is more concerned about one of the walls, because there is a set of decorative plates hanging on that wall, each with a colorful cat on it, each with a different bow around its neck, and they are lazily dozing in the plate.
"Where did you buy these plates, meow?"
(ω)
Fish pointed to the plates on the wall and asked.
I didn't expect Umbridge to like cats, and Fish's impression of her suddenly became better.
"I brought these plates back when I went to France to attend the International Magical Federation Conference." Umbridge replied with a smile.
Then she walked to the cabinet next to her, took out some cute biscuits and cakes from it, and put them on the desk.
"Come and try these snacks first, dear." Umbridge waved to Fish and said in a sweet tone.
Fish blinked and sat down at the desk.
He sniffed... it smelled good.
Maomao reached out and took a small cake, looked at it carefully for a while, and then put it in his mouth.
"You eat first, I'll make you tea." Umbridge was so kind that it was shocking.
And Fish ate without any courtesy.
"Fish, I heard that you will turn into a cat and wander around the school after curfew at night?" Umbridge took out the tea leaves and put them in a beautiful round teapot, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, what's wrong, meow?"
(~)
Mao Mao looked at her warily and said, "Albus and Minerva both allowed it! Even if you deduct points, Fish won't change it, meow!"
"Ah, of course I don't mean that." Umbridge waved her hand and said kindly, "I just want to ask you, did you notice anything unusual on the night I was attacked?"
"Fish has said it several times, that night Fish went to the Forbidden Forest early to play, meow! Fish doesn't know anything, meow!"
(〃`3〃)
Mao Mao folded her hands and looked impatient.
"Okay, I'm just asking, you know how cruelly I was treated before." Umbridge walked back to the desk with the teapot, gritting her teeth sincerely.
"Isn't it just being turned into a toad, meow?" Fish tilted his head and said bluntly, "Anyway, you look a lot like it, it's not a big deal, right?"
(ω)
Mao Mao put on a very serious and puzzled expression.
Umbridge was so angry.
She was frozen for a long time before she adjusted herself and poured a cup of tea in front of Fish.
"You must be thirsty after eating so many snacks, right? Come and have some tea." Umbridge said sweetly.
"Fish is not thirsty yet, meow."
(Φ~Φ)
However, the cat ignored the tea in front of it and reached out to take two more cakes and ate them.
The smile on Umbridge's face was a little distorted, but she quickly adjusted herself again and continued to say kindly in a sweet voice: "It's okay, put it here first, and drink it when you are thirsty."
"Meow?"
ω
At this time, Fish also noticed that something was a little wrong. He glanced at Umbridge strangely, and then looked down at the cup of steaming flower tea.
Umbridge became nervous instantly, but her years of experience in power struggles allowed her to control her expression without revealing any clues.
After Maomao pondered for a moment, he used the poison detection spell on the teacup, but found nothing wrong inside.
However, Fish also knew that the toxicity of many magic potions could not be detected, such as polyjuice potion and the like.
As for the polyjuice potion, Fish wasn't afraid. Although the toad had no hair and looked a bit ugly, it was quite interesting to think about it being able to look like a toad...
So Fei Xu didn't care, put the cup of tea aside, and continued eating pastries.
While Umbridge waited anxiously, Fish ate all the snacks on the plate slowly.
"Thank you for giving Feishi something to eat, nya."
(ω)
Maomao patted his belly, narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, and then wanted to get up and leave, "If there is nothing else, Fish will leave first. The Quidditch match should be over, and Fish has to go find He Min Meow.”
"Wait! Would you like a cup of tea before leaving?" Umbridge was so anxious that she even used her original voice.
Now Fish was sure that Umbridge had tampered with this cup of tea.
Fish thought for a while, then picked up the tea cup. He was a little curious about what Umbridge put in it. It was not poisonous anyway, but the cat still licked it carefully first.

After confirming that the taste was not bad, Fish glanced at Umbridge, who was still maintaining a friendly smile, and then drank all the tea in the cup.
"The tea you brew is not as delicious as Sybil's." Fish smacked his lips and said without any dignity.
"How can I compare to Master Trelawney?" Umbridge responded casually while staring at Fish.
Maomao continued to smack his lips, not feeling anything wrong with his body.
Did I guess wrong?
Just when Fei Xu was confused, an inexplicable feeling of emptiness suddenly hit him. Maomao's face and body instantly relaxed, and the cat's ears that had been standing energetically drooped down. The whole person was like a pool of liquid. He leaned down on the table with a snap, and his tail behind him swayed lazily twice before hanging down...
He looks like a completely useless cat.
