Chapter 755: Individual Preparations

"Dumbledore is going to take you and Harry to find Voldemort's Horcrux?!"

When Fish brought back the news, Hermione immediately became restless.

"Will there be any danger?" She asked worriedly.

"What kind of danger could there be..."

(`н)

Fish muttered, "Albus... forced Fish to agree to him, and he must obey his orders before he would take Fish there..."

Hermione, who was worried about the cat, did not notice that his mood was wrong, but quickly agreed, "This is correct. After all, you don't know what kind of trap Voldemort has set. It's right to listen to Professor Dumbledore!"

Then the cat became even more depressed.

Ron said with envy, "Wow, you really have to go with Dumbledore... to destroy the Horcrux of the mysterious man... Wow!"

The cat glanced at him and continued to be unhappy.

At this time, Hermione finally noticed that Fish was different. She immediately asked with concern: "What's wrong, Fish? You don't look very happy."

The excited Harry and Ron also looked over.

Fish raised his eyelids and glanced at the three of them, and said sullenly: "Nothing... It's just that Albus wants Fish to follow him obediently, which is meaningless..."

Miao Mao's statement naturally couldn't fool Hermione, but she wisely didn't ask further questions, but quickly ended the topic, and then used the storytelling method to make Fish happy.

However, this method that had always worked before failed this time.

Although Fish was still listening attentively, his mood still showed no signs of improvement.

"Fish, what's wrong with you?" Hermione felt that she couldn't ignore it anymore. She dragged Fish away from others and asked worriedly.

But Mao Mao still looked hesitant and indecisive, which made Hermione worried and anxious.

"Is it because of Professor Dumbledore?" She couldn't help but continue to ask, "You have been very strange since you came back from him. What did he say to you?"

Fisch saw that Hermione was about to cry, and finally spoke.

"Albus is dying, meow..." Maomao told Hermione about Dumbledore's current condition and what he was going to do tomorrow. "Although Albus said he was prepared, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was lying... I don't want Albus to die, meow..."

(。_。)

Hermione didn't expect to hear such shocking news from Fash. Her brain couldn't handle this situation at all, and she was stunned.

After a long time, Hermione stammered, "Maybe Professor Dumbledore really has a way? After all, this time is different from the situation when the ring was destroyed. He has already prepared..."

But she couldn't continue talking, because she had paid attention to Dumbledore's injuries before, and Hermione went to check the information and knew that some injuries could never be cured, and some potions had no antidote.

"Right!" Hermione bit her lip and thought hard for a while, then suddenly said, "Didn't you say that Felix Felicis can increase your transformation energy? Why not ask Harry for some more?"

"But... Fish wants to save it for tomorrow."

Maomao had certainly considered Felix Felicis, but he remembered that Professor Slughorn and Snape had said that Felix Felicis could not be taken frequently and in large quantities.

So compared to using Felix Felicis now to gamble on the possibility of transformation, Fish thought it would be more reliable to let Dumbledore and Harry drink Felix Felicis together when they set out tomorrow.

Maomao told Hermione about her idea and immediately got her approval.

"Indeed, saving Felix Felicis for tomorrow should be more effective..." After thinking for a while, she asked, "But, is the Felix Felicis in Harry's hand enough for the three of you to share?"

Fish recalled the remaining potion in the small bottle.

"If three people share it... it can last about two hours?"

(ω)

Mao Mao scratched his head and added: "If Harry has not used Felix Felicis again after Horace's Christmas party."

"Two hours... this is not safe..." Hermione frowned, bit her nails and murmured: "What if you need more time... can't you use the Felix Felicis that Professor Snape made for you?"

"No, it will take another ten days to be ready." Fish sighed helplessly.

"Then... have you looked for Professor Slughorn?" Hermione asked again, "I remember that in the first potion class, he took out a full crucible of Felix Felicis. Why don't you ask him for some?"

"... That's right!"

∑(ΦДΦ)

Mao Mao blinked and suddenly realized: "Why did Fish forget about Horace?!"

The main reason is that Fish had a problem with Slughorn before, so subconsciously he didn't want to ask him for help.

And the current situation is not the time to worry about these things!

"Fisch, go find Horace now, meow!"

=(=(ω=(ω)

The cat, who had regained his spirits, ran away in an instant, and Hermione ran to the library after a moment of hesitation...

Although it might be a waste of effort, she still wanted to try to find some useful knowledge for Fisch and the others from the book.

"Horace, are you meowing?"

|ΦωΦ)

Fish rushed to Professor Slughorn's office as fast as he could, opened the door, and stuck his head in.

Professor Slughorn was sitting in his armchair, reading a newspaper leisurely. On the small coffee table beside him was his favorite oak-aged mead.

"Aha! It's Fish!" He put down the newspaper in his hand, hurriedly put away the mead, and then waved to the cat with a smile on his face, "Come in, come in, what do you want to drink? How about a cup of hot milk?"

"Fish wants Felix Felicis, meow!"

(ΦωΦ)

The cat said straight to the point: "Hermione said you may have a prepared Felix Felicis here, Fish wants..." He tilted his head and thought for a while, "I want a dose that can last for a whole day, meow!"

In Fish's opinion, eight hours per person should be enough for them to retrieve Voldemort's Horcrux and have a chance to solve the problem with Dumbledore.

Of course, Fish, who already knew the value of the Felix Felicis, would not take advantage of Professor Slughorn for nothing. He would even provide materials for Snape's help, not to mention Slughorn, who was even less intimate with him.

However, the materials for the Felix Felicis were all given to Snape, so Fish could only "pay" with other materials first.

"Fish can exchange potion materials with you, meow." Maomao put his hand into the magic pocket and continued, "The materials you want to prepare the Felix Felicis, Fish can also help you find them... As long as they are in the Forbidden Forest... Here!"

(つΦωΦ)つ

Maomao took out a lot of miscellaneous things and stuffed them all at once to Professor Slughorn.

"Actually, you don't have to... What are these...?!" Professor Slughorn, who was about to refuse, swallowed his polite words in an instant after seeing the objects in his hand.

"Unicorn hair, stork eggshells, chimaera claws... and this, is this a three-headed dog tooth?" He counted the various materials that Fish stuffed in like a treasure, and was so excited that he was shaking all over.

In terms of value alone, these materials are no less than the Felix Felicis, not to mention that some of them are very difficult to find, and sometimes you can't buy them even if you have money.

"Enough! These materials can be used to take all my existing stocks!"

Professor Slughorn, who had no intention of rejecting Fish, waved his hand and stuffed all his Felix Felicis to Fish.

Let's talk about the boat.

The original book does mention the magical power of the boat against the visitor, or in other words, Dumbledore guessed that the boat could only carry one wizard at a time, but he also said that Voldemort probably didn't take minors seriously.

And according to the fact that Voldemort brought Kreacher with him, the non-human house-elf obviously didn't count as a human head.

Assuming that Dumbledore's guesses are correct, then Fish, who is both a minor and a non-human, will obviously not be counted.

In fact, in my opinion, this setting is made just to allow Dumbledore to bring Harry to participate in this operation, which seems a bit too deliberate, but since it is an official setting, I can certainly apply it to Fish.

Thanks to Ino from Cat Island for the reward.
