Chapter 682: Cat Shower

In the next week, the seventh grade students took the intense N.E.W.T. exam.

Of course, this did not include George and Fred. Although they also took the exam seriously, they were in a very relaxed mood.

Because with Umbridge's "help", they finally raised enough money to open a store in Diagon Alley, the final results of N.E.W.T. are no longer important to the twins.

Except for the seventh grade students, the other six grade students have finished their exams. They are staying comfortably on campus, discussing Dumbledore's trial and looking forward to the start of the end-of-term dinner.

Among them, the fifth grade students are the most comfortable. Because their results will not be out until July, there is no pressure on them now.

But Harry was different from others. He took the initiative to find Snape and trained with him on Occlumency every night. Then in his spare time, he took the double-sided mirror given to him by Sirius. Chat remotely with your godfather.

In this way, a week passed quickly. After everyone enjoyed the delicious food at the end-of-term dinner, they boarded the Hogwarts Express bound for London the next day.

Fish naturally stayed at Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall still had some work to finish, and soon he would go to the Ministry of Magic again as Dumbledore's witness.

And Hermione also stayed. The Grangers are still running around the world, sending some local food and small toys to Fish from time to time... and sending letters or postcards to Hermione by the way. of.

Three days later, the day after Fish's birthday, a trial began that attracted much attention from the wizarding world in England.

"Let's go, Fish."

Dumbledore put on a set of Muggle clothes and carried an exquisite cane.

"Because we are going to trial, it's best to use the guest aisle." He winked at Fish and said, "I don't remember the exact location of the phone booth, so we'd better use the Muggle method of movement. "

"Then Fish also wants to change into Muggle clothes?"

ω

Maomao asked, tilting his head.

"If you don't mind putting away your ears and tail temporarily." Dumbledore smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Or you can just turn into a cat and stay here like last time."

Fish thought for a moment, chose to transform into a tabby cat, and then jumped onto Dumbledore's shoulders.

Dumbledore smiled even more happily, and nodded to Professor McGonagall and Hermione, "Well, see you at noon." After saying that, he carried Fish and stepped into the fireplace nearby.

The next moment, he was emerging from the fireplace in Diagon Alley.

Dumbledore came to the first floor of the Leaky Cauldron on crutches.

It was still early and there were no other customers in the Leaky Cauldron. The bar owner, Old Tom, was sitting behind the counter, supporting his shaky head with one hand, as if he might fall asleep at any time.

After hearing the sound coming from the stairs, Old Tom suddenly jumped up and sat up straight. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and turned his head.

"Dumbledore!" Old Tom shouted in surprise, and then turned his gaze to the tabby cat on his shoulder, "And Fish?" After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly said: "Are you planning to go to the Ministry of Magic? "

"Yes, Tom." Dumbledore nodded and smiled: "I don't quite remember the specific location of the guest entrance, so I can only borrow it from you. Is it okay?"

"Of course." Old Tom laughed: "But I hope you can come to my place for a drink after the end."

Obviously, he also chose to believe Dumbledore.

"I would like to lend you your kind words." Dumbledore bowed slightly, "I will come over after the trial is over."

After saying that, he carried Fish and walked out of the bar, and Fish, who was squatting on his shoulders, also raised his little paw and waved to Old Tom.

"Meow~"

(=ΦωΦ=)

As Dumbledore walked out of the Leaky Cauldron, Fish began to look around curiously. He usually entered Diagon Alley from the patio, but today was the first time he visited the side connected to the Muggle world.

The Leaky Cauldron's facade is dirty and small, but it is located on a commercial street that extends in all directions. On both sides of it are a large bookstore and a record store covered with posters.

There were not many pedestrians on the streets of London in the early morning, but occasionally there were a few who happened to pass by the Leaky Cauldron, but they all turned a blind eye to this shabby bar that was incompatible with the entire street. Even Dumbledore He Feishu was not noticed by anyone.

It wasn't until Dumbledore walked some distance away that people nearby noticed their strange pairing...

There was a tall old man with a long white beard, and a cute tabby cat squatting on his shoulder. It was obviously a bit difficult for this combination not to attract attention.

Dumbledore wore a polite and gentle smile, nodded to the Muggles around him, and walked proudly on the streets of London with the pride of "my son is the best in the world."

They passed a bookstore, a record store, a hamburger specialty store, a movie theater, and then followed an escalator to the underground. Dumbledore came to the ticket window with familiarity, took out a few pennies from his pocket and bought a ticket.

"Old sir, your cat is so cute." The conductor couldn't help but praise him while handing the ticket to Dumbledore.

"Oh hehehe...thank you for the compliment." Dumbledore stroked his beard and smiled very happily.

(ω)

Fish, who was squatting on his shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of ​​giving him a paw.

After entering the subway, the few passengers in the car turned their attention to Fish on Dumbledore's shoulder. Two passengers even came over and wanted to tease Fish, but they were avoided by Maomao. , which made those two people very sorry.

The subway drove toward the center of London, and Muggles kept getting on the train. After two or three stops, the train was filled with people. Most of them were well-dressed and holding briefcases of similar shapes in their hands.

After getting on the bus, this group of workers, like the previous passengers, stared obsessively at Fish on Dumbledore's shoulder. If the car hadn't been so crowded, there would definitely be many people like the two previous passengers. , came over and tried to tease the cat.

Even so, there were still people who deliberately made some noises to attract Fei Xu to look over.

When the subway entered a certain station in central London, Dumbledore, who had been showing off all the time, stood up from his seat and walked off the subway, leaving behind him the wails of the Muggles who had passed the station.

Returning to the ground via the escalator, they came to a street that was not very wide. The buildings on both sides were uneven and did not look as prosperous as the streets in the distance. However, there were still many pedestrians and vehicles on the street. It can also be considered a busy place.

Dumbledore turned a corner and got into an inconspicuous alley nearby. When he walked out of the alley, he saw a completely different and desolate small street from before. There were only a few restaurants on the street. Go up to a shabby office, a bistro and a dump truck that is almost overflowing...

and a shabby red phone booth.

Several panes of glass were missing from the phone booth, and there was a wall behind it that had been painted over.

Dumbledore walked into the phone booth and closed the door with his backhand. Then he picked up the phone from the crooked phone that might fall off at any time, and dialed the number "62442" on the dial pad.

As the dial whirred back to its original position, a woman's cold voice sounded from the phone booth... exactly the same voice that Fish heard in the elevator.

The woman's voice did not come from the microphone, it was loud and clear, as if an invisible woman was standing next to them.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and your business."

"Albus Dumbledore, come here to face the trial of the Wizengamot, and Fish McGonagall, he is my witness." Dumbledore replied calmly.

"Thank you," the woman said in a cold voice: "Guest, please pick up the badge and pin it in front of your clothes."

With a clanking sound of metal, two square silver badges slid out from the metal chute usually used to withdraw coins.

Dumbledore picked up the badges, pinned one to his chest, and handed the other to Fish, who had returned to his human form.

Maomao looked at the badge and saw it read: Fish Mag, testify.

At this time, the woman's voice said again: "Visitors from the Ministry of Magic, you need to be checked at the security checkpoint and register your wand. The security checkpoint is located at the end of the main hall."

The ground of the phone booth suddenly trembled, and they slowly sank into the ground.

After about a minute, a thin golden light hit their feet and quickly filled the entire phone booth.

"The Ministry of Magic hopes you have a good day." The female voice sounded again.

At the same time, the door of the phone booth also opened, and Fish followed Dumbledore out and came to the hall with the golden fountain that they had visited that night...

This is also the latest territory marked by cats.

Recommended ticket monthly ticket

I checked specifically and found that pets are allowed on the London subway, and dogs are not allowed on leashes. There are even people who lead sheep on the train...

…

Tomorrow is Fei Xu’s birthday!

…

After asking the doctor, he asked me to stop taking the medicine and observe for two days. I gave Zhongyuan some canned food today, but I still had no appetite and was a little depressed. I kept sleeping.

If he doesn't get better tomorrow, he will be sent to the hospital again.

…

Thanks for the brainless tip.
