Chapter 699 Transcript
Harry was sent to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix by Dumbledore, while Fish returned to his home in Hogsmeade.
Perhaps he thought that Voldemort would not make any big moves before getting the prophecy, or that Fish had enough ability to protect himself, in short, Dumbledore no longer required Fish to stay in the Order of the Phoenix like he did last summer vacation.
Of course, Harry and Sirius welcomed him to visit at any time.
"Minerva~ I'm back meow~"
●ω●
When Fish returned home, Professor McGonagall, Hermione and Comey did not go to bed, but waited for him in the living room.
The cat went up to hug them, then took out all the snacks he had "exchanged" from Dudley and shared them with everyone.
"Come and try it, this is what Fish exchanged with Harry's fat cousin meow!"
Although they were all Muggle snacks, Hermione, as a child of a dentist, had only seen most of them but had never eaten them.
Of course, she wasn't too interested in these snacks...
Hermione quietly touched her waist and pinched it. After a long time of asking for money from Fish, her weight has always been in a dangerous state. What's hateful is... no wizard has developed a spell to keep in shape!
So she just took a snack in her hand without even opening the package.
"What did you and Professor Dumbledore do?" She asked Fish while pinching the snack.
"We went to pick up Harry at first, and then went to find a bald old man named Horace Slughorn. Albus said he would be our Potions professor next school year."
(Φ~Φ)
Fish answered with food in his mouth, bulging.
"Potions? Isn't it Defense Against the Dark Arts?" Hermione asked in surprise.
"Before Professor Slughorn retired, he was the professor of Potions at Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall explained, "He was also the head of Slytherin House, and he taught me before."
"Then Minerva also joined his club, meow?"
ω
Fish looked at her curiously.
However, Professor McGonagall shook her head and replied, "Although he invited me, I refused."
The cat was relieved immediately and thanked, "That's good, meow, Fish still wants to take over his club! If Minerva is also in it, it will be difficult for Fish to do it, meow."
Professor McGonagall: "..."
"Then, who is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Hermione asked in confusion.
She didn't know what the club that Fish and Professor McGonagall mentioned was, so she put it aside for the time being. She was more curious about who would be unlucky next year.
"Of course it's Severus meow..." Mao Mao sighed helplessly, "It will be difficult for Fish to fight with him..."
ε=(ο`*)
Professor McGonagall knocked his head unhappily and scolded: "Respect the professors of the school!"
"Fish doesn't disrespect Severus! Didn't I always fight with you, Minerva, in the past? This is not a conflict!" Mao Mao said confidently.
"Anyway, don't cause trouble for me!" Professor McGonagall knocked him again, "If I know that you go to fight Professor Snape for no reason, I will see how I will deal with you!"
"Humph! Anyway, in the end, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts will fight with Fish for one reason or another, meow!"
(`н)
Mao Mao held his head and muttered to himself.
Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes at the little cat after hearing his mumbling, but she felt a little uneasy... After all, there are already five examples to prove this point.
To be honest, she didn't understand why Snape agreed. Even if Slughorn was once the head of Slytherin and the professor of Potions, Dumbledore would not force him to change his subject as long as Snape didn't agree.
After that, Professor McGonagall briefly explained to Hermione what kind of club Horace was, and then the two were driven to bed by Professor McGonagall.
...
"Ah--!!!"
The next morning, Fich was awakened by a scream from downstairs.
"Hermione?!"
∑(ΦДΦ)
Maomao quickly identified the owner of the voice, and then rushed out of the room at the fastest speed and jumped directly from the second floor.
"Is it Voldemort who called meow?!"
As soon as Fich landed, he looked around vigilantly.
However, he soon discovered that there were no enemies at home. Professor McGonagall, Hermione and Comey were all intact in the living room. The only difference was that there were two unfamiliar, tawny owls in the house.
"Meow?"
(ω)
Maomao was a little confused.
"Ahem..." Hermione lowered her head and cleared her throat awkwardly, "There are no enemies, Fish, the results of the O.W.L. exam are out." She pointed at the two owls and explained.
"Coo, coo." "Coo, coo..."
The two owls flapped their wings and flew to Fish, landing on his shoulders respectively, and then pecked his cat ears affectionately with their beaks.
"Hello, meow..." After Fish greeted them, he looked at Hermione speechlessly, "Why are you still so unconfident? Obviously, your grades are so good meow..."
(ω)
"But... what if I don't do well in the exam?" Hermione still looked uneasy. She wanted to get the letter on the owl's talon, but she hesitated to reach out.
Maomao rolled his eyes and took down both envelopes.
"Then you want Fish to look after meow for you?" he asked, shaking the envelope belonging to Hermione.
"No! No need!" Hermione finally plucked up the courage and stepped forward to take her transcript, "I'll do it myself!"
She encouraged herself loudly, and then tore open the envelope with her eyes closed.
However, after taking out the transcript inside, she suddenly became frightened and dared not open her eyes to look at it.
"Huh? Is this transcript sent to the wrong person? Why are there so many 'D's?"
A familiar, furry touch came from Hermione's face, and at the same time Fish's voice sounded in her ears.
"What?!"
Hermione opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the parchment in her hand...
A row of "O"s.
"Meow hahaha! It turns out to be 'O'. Fei Xu accidentally saw it wrong just now, meow~"
(ω)
Before Hermione could get angry, Maomao changed her tune and said, "Fish just said you don't have to worry."
Hermione glared at Maomao angrily, then happily put away her report card.
"Let's see how your grades are!" Miss Wanshitong, who had recovered, immediately urged Feixu.
"Fish's grades will definitely not be bad, meow!"
(`)
Unlike Hermione, Maomao was very confident in his own strength. He tore open the envelope and unfolded the parchment at will.
The same row of "O"s, only one less than Hermione, but that's because Fish took one less elective course than her.
"The Divination class is actually an 'O', nya? Fish thought this class could only get an 'E' at most."
(ΦωΦ)
Maomao scratched his head and thought about it. Umbridge was deceived by him and Professor Trelawney, so he actually has a talent for "prophecy"?
"I don't know what other people's grades are like." After looking at Fish's grades, Hermione became curious about other people's grades.
"Hermione..."
(ω)
Maomao looked at her sideways and said, "I don't know why, but Feishu doesn't like the way you are now, meow."
Hermione, who was about to write a letter to inquire about the results of other Cat Club members, suddenly froze and explained at a loss: "I, I'm just curious!"
Then she slumped her shoulders and muttered: "Okay, okay, I just won't ask..."
After calming down, Hermione also realized that her behavior was actually quite annoying, but sometimes she couldn't control herself.
"Okay," Professor McGonagall, who had been watching, clapped her hands, "You have all achieved a good result. This is something to be happy about. Don't be so unhappy."
She turned to Comey and ordered: "Make the food richer today to celebrate them both."
"Great!"

I don’t know if Rowling has never seen a top student, or if all British top academics are like Hermione...
Anyway, Hermione's performance in the OWL exam in the original book is far from the academic master I know.
Needless to say, academic masters. As long as students with relatively good grades, although they will also compare answers and grades, they will never be as guilty as Hermione. What they can do in the exam basically depends on their hearts. There is a rough estimate.
Especially for hard-working academics like Hermione, who memorize and do questions over and over again, they are actually very clear about how much knowledge they have mastered. Basically, they have already figured out how many points they can get as soon as they finish the exam. You will be nervous, but you will definitely not be as guilty as Hermione. Instead, you should be more confident. That was the confidence given to them by their usual hard work and the results of repeated mock tests.
Hermione's behavior here, if forced to explain it, is probably because of a guilty conscience as a Muggle entering the wizarding world, but after so many years... if she had a guilty conscience, she would have been guilty long ago.
Or is the magic exam more about actual practice? But Hermione is not bad at this... In the original book, there are nine O's and one E. What on earth does she feel guilty about with such grades?
If I had such results in high school, then what I was most looking forward to was the time when the results were released. How could I be afraid?
