Chapter 7 Animagus?

[Animal Form]

Transform into the form of an animal you are familiar with.

This is the spell that Fish suddenly realized in a desperate situation, and then he chose to transform into a human. If he transforms into the same kind, the two strange humans should let him go, right?

Unfortunately, the two humans in front of him did not seem to be confused by Fish's spell. After a moment of hesitation, the white-bearded human raised the small wooden stick in his hand again.

A blue light spurted out from the tip of Dumbledore's wand and hit Fish.

"Meow!"

The speed of the light was too fast, and Fish could not dodge in time. He was hit directly, and he jumped up from the spot in fear.

But soon he found that the light did not seem to cause any harm to him. After a dazzling flash of light, nothing happened to his body.

"Meow?"

Fish tilted his head in confusion, and then bowed to Dumbledore and Orr again.

"Ha--!"

"Is it really a human?"

Dumbledore blinked his blue eyes in surprise. He couldn't be sure what the cat was, so he just used a spell that could remove Transfiguration and Animagus.

What Dumbledore didn't know was that Fish's Transfiguration spell was fundamentally different from the wizard's system, so his spell to remove the spell had no effect on Fish.

"So... this kid is also an Animagus?!"

Dumbledore, who mistook Fish for a human, looked at Orr, who was also an Animagus.

"What are you looking at me for? Although I am also an Animagus, there is no induction or anything like that between Animagus to distinguish between companions."

Orr waved his hands. Apart from being an Animagus, he was just an ordinary wizard who couldn't be more ordinary, and he couldn't help much.

"If you don't know, I don't know either."

Seeing that the two humans seemed to ignore him, Fish took the opportunity to turn around and run.

It was very awkward to run on all fours in human form. After running for a few steps, Fish chose to stand up straight and move his legs like a biped. However, he was not familiar with this way of movement, so he staggered at first, but soon he got used to it and swung his short legs very fast.

However, before Fish ran far, he felt that his feet were empty and he floated up like a balloon.

"Meow! Meow meow meow!!!"

Fish waved his hands and feet randomly, and his body kept switching back and forth between cat and biped.

"Well, it's better to take it back and let Minerva ask."

Dumbledore's wand tip sprayed a red light and landed on Fish, who was still dancing in the air.

Suddenly, Fish felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him. He didn't even have time to yawn, and his eyelids were already glued together as if they were glued.

"Or, hold my shoulders."

Waving his wand, Dumbledore let the already sleeping Fish fly into his arms, and he started the Apparition with him and Or.

With the harsh sound of "pa pa", the three of them instantly appeared at the entrance of the Hogwarts Hospital.

Although Hogwarts has always prohibited wizards from using Apparition, Dumbledore, as the headmaster, still has this privilege.

"Comey." Dumbledore called a house elf, "Go and help me invite Professor McGonagall here."

"Glad to serve you! Dear Headmaster!"

The house elf screamed excitedly, bowed deeply to Dumbledore, and his head almost touched the ground, and then disappeared from the spot with a snap.

"Okay, Or, let Madam Pomfrey treat your neck first, and wait for Minerva to come, and then let her ask about the child's condition."

Dumbledore held Fish and pushed open the door of the hospital.

Orr's injury was not serious, and he had been treated slightly by Dumbledore before, so Madam Pomfrey just gave Orr a bottle of healing potion with a strange taste and asked him to pinch his nose and drink it.

"Who is this child?"

After watching Orr take the medicine, Madam Pomfrey looked at the little boy who was put on the bed by Dumbledore.

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will be a future student of our school... Ah, Minerva, you are here."

"Dumbledore, what happened?"

Professor McGonagall hurried into the infirmary and asked.

"I need you to confirm the identity of this child for me."

Dumbledore pointed to Fish who was still sleeping and briefly explained his origins.

"I suspect that this child may be a natural Animagus, and his parents should have died, so he has been with wild cats."

In fact, there is another guess that Dumbledore did not say, that is, the boy's parents are probably Muggles, and after discovering that their child has turned into a cat, they abandoned him as a monster.

Dumbledore had seen many similar things, the most famous of which was probably Tom Riddle.

"A natural Animagus? But... isn't it only the Metamorphmagus that is natural? I've never heard of an Animagus that can be transformed into an animal." Professor McGonagall looked at Fish, who was curled up in bed and sleeping soundly, with a surprised look on her face.

"Who can guarantee that they can understand all the secrets of magic? Even I have not seen many things, Minerva. Moreover, what is more important now is to help this child return to normal human life."

"You are right..."

Professor McGonagall nodded. Whether the little boy is Animagus or has become a cat for some other reason, they should guide him back to normal life.

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Dumbledore found him first. If those dark wizards found this poor child first, he would be in real danger.

In order to prevent Fish from having an overreaction, Dumbledore and others all left the infirmary, leaving only Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall waved her wand, cast a sobering spell on Fish, and then turned into a silver tabby cat that looked very similar to Fish.

However, around the silver tabby eyes that McGonagall turned into, there were lines in the shape of the square glasses she wore.

After waking up from a deep sleep, Fish stretched out on the bed with his eyes closed, and then jumped up from the bed belatedly.

Fish got to the bottom of the bed where the light was the darkest at the fastest speed, and looked around with his big green eyes alertly, but did not find the two difficult humans.

Instead, an adult tabby cat that looked very similar to him was squatting on a chair not far away.

"Meow?" (Were you also captured by humans?)

Fish, who saw his kind, crawled out from under the bed and asked the tabby cat on the chair.

After asking, Fish realized that the height of his sight was a little wrong, and it turned out that he was still in human form.

He quickly lifted the spell and changed back to his original appearance.

"Meow~Meow." (No, I am an Animagus like you.)

Professor McGonagall answered in cat language, and then did the opposite of Fish, changing from a tabby cat to a human.

Fish: “Meow!!!”

Cats rarely use meows to communicate with each other, but this is a magical world after all, and there is even snake language, so it is normal to have so many cat languages.

Professor McGonagall’s Animagus is only mentioned as a tabby cat in the novel, and the specific fur color is not mentioned. The silver tabby is the style in the movie.

I set Fish as a silver tabby based on this point. I want to set it like Zhongyuan, but the calico cats are basically female cats, and the occasional male cats are all castrated. (That’s what the pet hospital said)

I don’t know what the spell to remove Animagus is called, anyway, in the third part, Lupin and Sirius used a blue light to restore Pettigrew.

…

I went to buy a drink at noon, but it rained heavily halfway, and my lunch break was directly ruined… Tsk, I was careless.

In the evening, I took cat strips and cat food to the place where I was yesterday, but I didn’t find the cow cat. I don’t know if it was just passing by or hiding somewhere else because of the rain at noon. I opened a can of cat food and left it there. This is all I can do...

Living with cats... We don’t have it here... When I found Zhongyuan, I couldn’t find a place willing to take it in, let alone rescue it.

…

I received a short message from the station. If you want to invest and get some free stuff, hurry up and get on board.
