Chapter 692 Spider's Tail Alley
With the spell of Apparition, long-distance travel is a very simple thing for wizards. In just a blink of an eye, Dumbledore brought Fish to a river bank.
Not far from the river bank, there is an abandoned mill, and the chimney of the mill is still standing tall.
"Albus, the smell here is so stinky, meow..."
(艸)
Fish covered his mouth and nose with his hands, frowned and said with disdain: "Why would Severus live in such a place?"
The river next to it is winding, with weeds growing on both sides and piles of garbage. The river water is black, with scattered garbage and white foam floating on it. There is no sign of life in the water, and together with the garbage piles on the shore, it exudes an unpleasant smell.
"Maybe..." Dumbledore looked at the huge chimney standing tall not far away, and said with emotion: "Maybe this is a place worth remembering for him..."
Just then, there was a rustling sound in the bushes next to him, and a skinny fox came out from it. Its hair was gray and tangled in many places.
"Wow... Wow..."
The fox looked at Dumbledore warily, then trotted to the feet of Fish, making a hoarse but pitiful cry.
Without saying a word, Fish cast a rejuvenation spell on the fox and took out a large piece of dried meat from his pocket to feed it.
When the fox finished eating the dried meat in a few bites, Fish used Qingshui Ruquan to change some clean water for it to drink, and used Qingyixin to clean the plaster on its body, revealing the dull yellow fur underneath.
Then, Fish used the animal shrinking spell again, shrinking the fox to the size of a palm, and put it in his pocket.
Dumbledore smiled as he watched Fish finish all this, then said, "Let's go, we should go find Severus, remember not to show your ears and tail."
The two climbed up the slope of the river bank, and an old railing separated the river from a narrow cobblestone alley. Across the railing, there were rows of dilapidated brick houses.
"This way."
Dumbledore looked around and found a gap in the rusty railing. He walked over quickly, crouched down and crawled through the gap to the alley on the other side.
The two walked into the alley between the houses one after the other, shuttling between rows of dilapidated brick houses, and from time to time they could see one or two unconscious drunkards lying on the street, their pockets turned out, and some of them even had their clothes stripped off, lying naked on the cold cobblestone ground.
"Fish hates this place, meow."
(ˇˇ)
The cat said with a frown.
The environment here reminded him of his wandering days. However, if it was just like this, although Fitz didn't like it, he wouldn't feel much disgusted, because he had lived in worse environments before.
The main reason was that this place gave Fitz an indescribable sense of oppression, which made him dislike this place from the bottom of his heart.
"I don't like it here either, but I persuaded Severus several times, but he refused to move." Dumbledore sighed and said helplessly.
"Is it because there is no money, meow?"
ω
Fitz once again remembered what Professor McGonagall said, "earn money to support the family."
"Of course not!" Dumbledore said righteously, "The salary at Hogwarts is not low! And as a wizard who is proficient in potions, Severus will never be short of money."
"It seems... Severus is also a troublesome guy!"
┑(ω≡ω)┍
Maomao imitated the way Hermione talked about himself, spread his hands, shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Dumbledore: "..."
The two walked around for a long time among these dilapidated brick houses and came to a street called Spider's End.
This street was not much different from the previous ones. There were dilapidated houses everywhere. Most of the windows of the houses had no glass, but were nailed up with wooden boards. The road underfoot was paved with cobblestones, but some of the cobblestones were gone or broken, leaving ugly holes filled with dirt and dirty water.
Dumbledore led Fish to the last house. The windows of this house rarely used curtains and glass to separate the inside from the outside.
He knocked on the door, and after a while, the door was opened a crack, revealing a grayish-yellow face and a pair of black eyes, as well as Snape's iconic hooked nose.
"Severus, good morning, meow!"
|ΦωΦ)
Fish poked his head out from behind Dumbledore and greeted him energetically.
"Fish?!" Snape exclaimed in surprise and joy, subconsciously opening the door halfway.
Then he looked at Dumbledore, who was blocking the cat and looked very annoying, pursed his thin lips, nodded at him imperceptibly, and said stiffly: "You are here too."
Then, Snape stepped aside and said, "Come in and talk. It will be troublesome if the Muggles living here see us."
"Excuse me." Dumbledore bent down slightly and walked in through the slightly low door.
Naturally, Fish followed closely behind, and immediately looked around after entering.
(°ω°≡°ω°)
After entering the door, a small living room comes into view, but because all the windows are tightly covered by curtains, it feels more like a dim soft-walled cell.
Several walls of the living room are lined with bookshelves that almost block the walls. The bookshelves are full of books, most of which are old black or brown leather covers.
A candle-lit lamp hangs down from the ceiling, casting a dim circle of light, in which a worn and fuzzy sofa, an old armchair and a shaky table are crowded together.
This place has a desolate and deserted atmosphere, as if no one lives there... But this is normal, because Snape lives in the school most of the time.
"Severus, how can you like living in such a place... This place gives Fish a bad feeling, and the smell outside is so bad..."
(ω)
The simple furnishings in the room are nothing to Cat. On the contrary, he prefers this dim environment, but the environment outside is unacceptable to Fish. If possible, Cat prefers a cleaner place.
Snape was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "This is the house my parents left me."
Fish shook his ears that were finally able to be released, and thought that if it were him, he would also want to live in Professor McGonagall's house, so he quickly accepted this explanation.
"Okay, but if you don't feel comfortable living here, you can go to Fish's house! There are still several empty rooms in Minerva's house!"
(ΦωΦ)
Cat invited very seriously.
"...Thank you." Snape's lips trembled slightly and said.
"Fish, then do you welcome me to live with you?" Dumbledore came up with a shameless face.
Fish was about to retort out of habit, but when he thought that this bad old man might die, Maomao took back his bad words and said reluctantly: "If you want to go, it's not impossible... as long as Minerva agrees."
(`ω)
Maomao folded his hands and nodded seriously.
Although Fish looked reluctant, Dumbledore was still as happy as a hundred-year-old man.
He didn't want to be cured.
"What's the matter with you guys coming here today?"
Snape couldn't bear to see Dumbledore's smug look, so he interrupted decisively.
Dumbledore then restrained his smile, showing his charred right hand, and said to Snape seriously: "I was plotted against by Voldemort before, and I came to ask you if you have a solution... In addition, our plan may need to be adjusted a little..."

As for the question of Maomao's future children... Of course, they are born with cat ears, and they can be put away and put away freely with a little training.
