Chapter 716 Cabinets and Cockroaches

In the end, neither Fish nor Hermione joined the Slug Club, but Slughorn still welcomed them to attend the club's gatherings at any time. Later, he even put his arm around Fish's shoulders and let the cat curiously fiddle with his walrus-like beard.

Harry felt that he was not as shameless as Fish, and he wanted to know more about his mother, so when Slughorn invited him again, he hesitated for a moment and agreed.

After coming out of Slughorn's office, the three of them went their separate ways. Harry naturally went back to the dormitory to rest, while Fish and Hermione had to walk around outside for a while as usual before going back.

When the two kittens strolled past the gargoyle statue on the third floor, Fish tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shouted "meow" and opened the secret door to the principal's office... Dumbledore has not been seen recently, and the cat feels it is necessary to observe his situation to prevent him from suddenly kicking his legs and dying one day.

However, when Fish pushed open the oak door of the principal's office with his head, he found that Dumbledore was not in his office.

"Meow?"

(=ω=)

The cat looked up at Fawkes, who was perched on a golden branch by the door, and asked him where Dumbledore was.

"Li——"

Fawkes responded with a clear song-like sound.

It told the cat that Dumbledore had not been in school for a long time, and even if he came back occasionally, he would leave soon.

"Meow meow meow."

Hermione joined the discussion after Fish's translation.

She guessed that Dumbledore was most likely looking for a Horcrux again, and it was very likely the Slytherin locket that appeared in Ogden's memory last time.

"Meow..."

(ω)

The cat was helpless about this. His injuries had not healed yet, and he was going to take risks again...

Compared with Albus, the careless and bad grandfather, Fawkes was much more obedient!

After being indignant for a while, the cat did not leave immediately. Instead, after regaining its human form, it ran to Dumbledore's desk and took out a bunch of snacks and the Sorting Hat from his drawer and the cabinet next to it.

"Good evening, meow!"

(Φ~Φ)

Fish chewed candy in his mouth and put the Sorting Hat on his head.

"I'm not good at all!" The Sorting Hat cursed.

Although it could only lie flat when facing Fish, it refused to admit defeat...

Anyway, the cat will be more careful when it grows up, and it will not pick out several threads like when it was a child, and it has become accustomed to this way of getting along over the years.

And Fish did not continue to be idle after putting on the Sorting Hat. He fiddled with the strange instruments in Dumbledore's office.

For a while, these instruments either spewed out silver smoke, or made tinkling sounds, or flashed colorful lights, making the room suddenly look like a Muggle disco.

At this time, Hermione did not stare at Fish as usual to prevent him from getting into trouble. Instead, she pinched the pile of cockroaches that Mao Mao had just stuffed into her hands, and was caught in a dilemma.

Just as she hardened her heart and was about to close her eyes and stuff the pile of cockroaches in her hand into her mouth, she heard Fish's puzzled voice next to her -

"Huh? This cabinet...wasn't it on the second floor before?"

(~)

Fish came to a large black cabinet, looked at it curiously, and opened the door, wanting to stick his head in to see what was inside...

Then he was grabbed by Hermione by the back of his neck.

With Fish's strength, Hermione certainly couldn't hold him, but Mao Mao still stopped and turned around in confusion.

"Why are you holding Fish, Hermione?"

ω

"This is a vanishing cabinet. It is said that the things put in it will disappear to who knows where! Don't mess around!" Hermione said anxiously.

"Fei Xu knows... I've played in it before, meow." Mao Mao replied as a matter of course: "It's just that it broke down a long time ago, meow."

This black cabinet had always been placed in a corridor on the second floor. When Fei Xu was wandering around in the castle before, he had curiously entered it and was teleported to another identical cabinet. But that cabinet was placed in a place he didn't recognize at all. The smell there was terrible and dirty, so Fei Xu walked around in that strange room for a while and came back...

After Fei Xu understood more things, he thought that there was probably a store there, but the things sold there were a little weird. At that time, there were many items there that made Fei Xu's beast instinct feel dangerous, which was one of the reasons why Mao Mao didn't stay there for long.

After Fei Xu became stronger, he went into the cabinet again, but he was not teleported away again. Instead, he heard some strange noises from time to time, and his movements seemed to be restricted by something and became sticky.

Because of these two reasons, Fish felt that this was not a good place to sleep, so he ignored it after that.

I just don't know why Dumbledore suddenly moved it to his office.

"Albus didn't put anything in it?"

(ω)

After explaining the situation of the disappearing cabinet to Hermione, Maomao looked at the empty cabinet inside and scratched his head in confusion.

"Perhaps...Professor Dumbledore intends to repair it?" After knowing that the cabinet was not dangerous, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and then made a reasonable guess.

"That's great, meow!"

(≧≦)

Maomao immediately became excited, "Fish has always wanted to go to the other side to see Meow! There are a lot of strange things there, which are interesting... but the taste and hygiene are a bit worse."

After saying that, Fish hurriedly transformed back into the cat form, then jumped into the cabinet, and the door of the disappearing cabinet closed automatically.

"Fish!" Hermione screamed and rushed over.

However, as soon as she put her hand on the handle of the cabinet door, the cabinet door opened automatically, and Fei Xu jumped out of it with a somewhat slow movement.

"What the hell! Albus hasn't fixed it at all, Meow!"

(`ω)

Maomao was very dissatisfied with Dumbledore's efficiency...

Then Hermione grabbed his ear.

"Didn't I tell you not to mess around?!" Hermione's expression at this time was exactly the same as Professor McGonagall's.

Maomao shrank his head subconsciously, then immediately and confidently broke away from Hermione's hand, and then said with a pinched neck: "Didn't Fish also say that Fish has gotten into this cabinet before, no matter whether it was good or bad. There’s nothing dangerous about it!”

But obviously, this argument could not convince Hermione. She put her hands on her hips and continued to lecture aggressively: "How do you know that there is no danger on the other side? And after so many years, there may have been some changes on the other side?"

Fish originally wanted to argue, but after seeing Hermione's demeanor that resembled Professor McGonagall, he chose to give in... because he knew that in this situation, the more he argued, the more Hermione would go on. .

So Maomao decisively changed the topic.

"Okay, okay, Fish knows it's wrong, Meow..." Cat put another pile of cockroaches into Hermione's hand, "Let's eat something first."

In the fifth part of the original book, the twins stuffed a Slytherin named Montague into the Vanishing Cabinet. It was said that the cabinet was on the second floor.

Hermione also showed that she was not completely ignorant of the Vanishing Cabinet.

According to the analysis of netizens, the cabinet that Nearly Headless Nick tempted Peeves to damage in the second film was the Vanishing Cabinet.

But there is a problem here. When Harry accidentally entered Knockturn Alley, he hid in the disappearing cabinet in Bork-Borgin, but was not transported to Hogwarts... At this time, the cabinet in the school should still be there. It's not bad.

But regardless of the specific situation, the cabinet should have always been on the second floor, and at least after Harry and the others entered school, the disappearing cabinet should still be able to transmit things for a period of time.

Then the problem arises. With the adventurous spirit of the twins, they have never tried to pass this cabinet. Moreover, the other cabinet has been kept at Bok-Bogin's place for so long, and they don't seem to know its function.

In the sixth part, Malfoy moved the cabinet to the Room of Requirement for repairs, but the school didn't react at all...

However, it is possible that Dumbledore suppressed this on his own initiative. Although he asked Malfoy how he did it before he was killed by Snape, he even knew where the other cabinet was. There should be some acting involved. More importantly, it was to let Harry know the cause and effect, and to allow Malfoy, who was not in a good mental state at the time, to relax.

So I don’t really like those fans who conspire against Dumbledore. He is really good to students.
