Chapter 13 What Bad Intentions Could a Kitten Have?
Although Fish has never really seen what Honeydukes is, he already knew from Minerva's previous "deception" that all those delicious snacks came from a place called Honeydukes. .
Fish, who had been wandering in the human world for a long time, had the concept of a store... It was a place where paper and metal could be exchanged for various things.
So when Minerva proposed to take her to the legendary Honeydukes, Fish certainly couldn't hold back.
He quickly jumped down from the beam, transformed into a human form in mid-air, and then landed steadily in front of Professor McGonagall.
"Oh! Merlin's beard!"
Professor McGonagall was startled by Fish's actions. She quickly stepped forward to hug Fish and checked his condition up and down.
After discovering that Fish was not injured, Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief. Then she put Fish down and shouted sternly: "Don't do such dangerous actions in the future!"
"Meow?"
Feishu tilted his head in confusion. Jumping from such a height is not dangerous at all.
But this matter is not important to Fish. It is more serious to hurry up and go to Honeydukes.
"Where are the clothes you want to change into?"
Fish pulled off the robe on his body in a few clicks, and tugged on Professor McGonagall's robe.
"Didn't I tell you not to be naked casually?"
Professor McGonagall hit Fish on the head angrily, then called Komi and brought over the clothes that had been prepared.
Under the careful guidance of Professor McGonagall, Fish put on a full set of clothes, and finally put on the previous robe.
"Why does Meow wear so many weird things Meow?"
After finishing dressing, Fish twisted around and kept complaining. Even though Professor McGonagall specially prepared a set of relatively loose clothes for him, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Especially the shoes and socks on her feet, Fei Xu felt extremely awkward.
Why do humans put on these things called shoes to make the sound of their footsteps obvious?
"Come on, Fish, it's time to go to Honeydukes."
Professor McGonagall's call interrupted Fish's attempt to reduce the sound of footsteps as much as possible. He immediately ignored the sound of footsteps and rushed to Professor McGonagall's side, then raised his little face and looked at him with great expectation. Professor McGonagall.
Smiling and touching Fish's head, Professor McGonagall took his hand and walked out.
This was Fish's first time wandering around the village of Hogsmeade. From the moment he walked out of the room, Fish was turning his little head tirelessly. He was curious about everything around him.
Because this is also the first time that Fish has entered human society with a human appearance, which is a completely different experience from his usual cat perspective.
Although the wizarding society in front of him is different from the human society that Fish has known in the past, to a cat, there is not much difference between the two. Anyway, they are all new to Fish.
It was the summer vacation at Hogwarts. There were no students in Hogsmeade Village, but there were still residents of the village, as well as a large number of wizards who came to have fun, and some of them were professors who came from Hogwarts to relax.
Although the fact that Professor McGonagall adopted a born Animagus was not widely publicized, most professors and residents of the village had heard some news.
So when they saw Professor McGonagall walking through the market holding a little boy they had never seen before, everyone gave Fish a friendly smile.
"Good morning, Minerva, is he that child?"
"What a cute little guy, Professor McGonagall. Is he the natural Animagus?"
"Haha, no wonder you adopted him Minerva, this little guy is as cute as a kitten!"
Similar words continued to come from different wizards' mouths. Professor McGonagall responded politely one by one, but Fish did not react at all. These friendly words only made him feel noisy.
Professor McGonagall had no intention of teaching Fish good manners so quickly. While greeting the acquaintances around her, she led Fish to the entrance of Honeydukes Candy Store.
However, at this time, Fei Xu did not pay attention to the candy store that he was thinking about. His big green eyes were almost completely occupied by black pupils, and he stared at a shop across the street without blinking. house.
That's where Hogsmeade's post office is located, and there are at least two hundred owls there, ranging from great gray falcons to miniature bards.
These owls are perched on color-coded shelves for the wizards in Hogsmeade to choose from. Through the window of the post office, Fish can clearly see the large and small owls inside.
"Fish——"
Minerva's long-drawn call came to his ears, and Fish, who was subconsciously licking his lips, reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"Remember what I told you before?"
"Owls are friends, not food, meow..."
Fei Xu pouted and replied reluctantly.
Professor McGonagall didn't care how reluctant Fish was, she only knew that if she hadn't been watching, the owls at the post office would definitely have been killed by this guy.
In order to prevent the little guy from continuing to miss the owl in the post office, Professor McGonagall forcibly dragged Fish by the arm and dragged him into Honeydukes.
"Welcome, Minerva."
Mrs. Froome, the proprietress of Honeydukes, who looked about the same age as Professor McGonagall, came forward.
Recently, Professor McGonagall was a frequent visitor to Honeydukes. In addition, the two were of similar age, so Mrs. Froome unexpectedly found that she could actually get along well with the rumored serious and old-fashioned Professor McGonagall.
"This young gentleman is Firth, right? It's our first meeting, so I'll give you a small gift."
Mrs. Froome took a bag of pear candies from the shelf next to her and put it in Firth's hands.
Firth had long been dazzled by the dazzling array of candies in the store, and he didn't come to his senses until Mrs. Froome put the pear candies in his hands.
"Meow! Minerva! Are all these things for me?!"
"How is that possible!"
Professor McGonagall laughed and said, "You can choose three snacks to take back today. If you behave well in the future, I will take you to buy new ones... Well, the pear hard candy in your hand does not count."
Fish looked at the lonely bag of pear hard candy in his hand, and then looked at the dazzling variety of candies around him...
With lightning speed, he broke free from Professor McGonagall's hand, opened his arms and grabbed a handful of candy from the shelf next to him, and rushed out of the store with his head down.

Recommendation ticket
Today, I copied the manuscript to the backend and found that the number of words in several chapters was much less. I use Notepad to write, and usually I directly use the file size to estimate the number of words. I don't know what went wrong in those chapters. The file suddenly became larger, resulting in a deviation in the word count estimation.
Damn, this kind of thing can also happen to me...
Today I basically spent all my time sorting out the manuscripts. I haven't sorted my luggage yet, and there is not much cat food left. I have to buy some before leaving.

Also, I've been a bit busy lately and don't have time to check on everyone's donations. I'll post a separate chapter to thank you when I get back. Anyway, thank you for your support.
