Chapter 41 I Didn’t Expect It.
While the Weasley twins were working hard to pick the stings of the Billywig bug in the potions classroom, Fish was eating and drinking in the kitchen. Under the leadership of Comey, a group of house elves all turned into senior cat slaves, surrounding Fish and Mrs. Norris to serve the two cats.
After eating and drinking, Fish planned to walk around as usual to digest the food, and Mrs. Norris also liked to run around every night to help Filch catch students who wandered at night.
So the two cats left the kitchen and wandered around Hogwarts.
However, the two cats took different routes.
Fish liked to drill around and cause damage, such as crawling into the inside of armor, drilling under statues, leaving claw marks on wooden products, or sneaking into an empty classroom and pushing everything on the table to the ground - anyway, Comey and the others would restore it before dawn.
Mrs. Norris wanted to catch students who were wandering at night, so they basically wandered in the corridors, or wandered around the dormitories of various colleges and the entrances and exits of some secret passages.
So the two cats quickly dispersed and moved around in the areas they were interested in.
Fitz would not stay on the second floor for long. Although Madam Pomfrey of the school hospital often fed him snacks, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was also here, and the residual garlic smell inside could not be stopped even if the door was closed.
More importantly...
Minerva's office was also on the second floor, and Fitz didn't want to be caught by her.
His confinement task was to take Norris to the kitchen to eat. If Minerva found out that he had sneaked out of the kitchen, she would definitely nag him again, so it was better to stay away.
The third floor was the office of the stinky guy, and the smell was stronger than the second floor, so Fitz just skipped it.
The trophy display room on the left corridor of the fourth floor was a good place to go. There were various trophies placed in it, which was very suitable for a cat bed. He would occasionally go in to take a nap or something.
However, Fitz was not sleepy now, so he didn't plan to go in for the time being.
Just as Fish was about to run to the fifth floor, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor on the right.
Fish shook his ears. There were two footsteps. One of them was very light, which should be the oily-haired professor. The other was very heavy, and there was no one else except the big Hagrid.
No matter who the other party was, Fish didn't want to be seen now, so he quickly found a corner to hide.
|ΦωΦ=)
Quietly watching Snape in the corner quickly passing through the corridor like a black cloud, followed by Hagrid who took big steps but didn't walk very fast.
Fish continued to hide in the dark corner, and he ran out again after the footsteps of the two people faded away.
"Meow?"
Fish turned his eyes to the direction where the two came from.
He had passed by there before when he was touring the entire castle, but he seemed to have only a very ordinary wooden door there. He thought it was meaningless at the time, so he left after taking a look.
As for Dumbledore's mention of staying away from here at the beginning of the school term - Firth was sleeping at that time and didn't hear it at all.
But now, he was aroused by Snape and Hagrid's curiosity.
Walking lightly and in small steps to the wooden door at the end of the corridor, Firth twitched his pink little nose.
There was a faint smell behind the door - a bit like the smell of a dog.
Then Firth shook his ears again, and he heard a strange snoring behind the door - there were three snorings, but the frequency of the snoring was exactly the same.
"Alaho Hole Open Meow!" (ΦωΦ)つ━☆*.
Curious, Firth took out his wand and fired an unlocking spell at the wooden door in front of him.
However, just like when he went home before, the wooden door did not respond at all.
"Meow! It's really useless!"
Firth threw the wand in his hand to the ground and cursed angrily.
After staring at the wand on the ground for a while, Fei Xu picked it up. After all, it was the spell that was useless, and he still liked this wand very much.
After putting away the wand, Fei Xu walked forward and grabbed the door frame with both hands.
"Meow!"ヽ(●-`Д-)ノ
Sure enough, I have to pull it down directly!
Throwing the wooden door aside, Fei Xu clapped his hands with satisfaction, then stretched his head to look inside.
Behind the door was a big black dog with three heads. The snoring before was made by it, but it had been awakened by Fei Xu's noise.
"Meow!"
Fei Xu was startled by the big dog in front of him.
Fei Xu was still very familiar with dogs, but it was the first time he saw a dog with three heads, and this dog was so big that Fei Xu was very envious.
"Hello meow~" (●ΦωΦ●)
Fei Xu trotted to the front of the three-headed dog and raised his little head to greet it.
"Woof!" ×3
The three-headed dog responded immediately, then lowered its three heads and tried to lick Feishi's face.
"Don't lick me, meow!"
Feishu took two steps back and slapped the nose of the middle head.
Dogs have too much saliva, and it stinks. Feishi never likes being licked by dogs, not to mention that the dog in front of him is so big, and it drools even more.
"Woo..."
Feishu didn't use much force in this slap, but the three-headed dog still shrank its head and whimpered in grievance.
"You drool too much, I don't hate you, meow."
After understanding the three-headed dog's grievance, Fish explained it. He stood on tiptoe to touch the dog's nose that he had just slapped twice, and apologized to the three-headed dog in front of him.
The comforted three-headed dog immediately bent down and put all three big heads in front of Fish.
Fish simply turned back into a cat, and then jumped onto the middle head.
The cat and the dog communicated with "meow meow meow" and "woof woof woof".
This made Dumbledore, who was peeping at the side, very depressed... because he didn't understand.
After Fish communicated with Fluffy for a while, Fluffy took the initiative to move aside, exposing the trap door under him.
Dumbledore's heart tightened immediately. In addition to being specially prepared to catch Voldemort, this multi-level checkpoint was also used to hone Harry Potter, the savior. It was not impossible for Fish to pass the level, but the premise was that he had to team up with Harry.
However, the following development made Dumbledore feel relieved.
After showing Fish a look at the trap door, Fluffy covered it with his body again. No matter how Fish meowed, slapped his head with his paws, and bit his ears, Fluffy lay on the trap door tightly and refused to move.
The loyalty of Hagrid's animals is still guaranteed.
Dumbledore, relieved, touched his beard and smiled as Fish bullied Fluffy.
"Meow!" (I'm leaving! I'm so angry!)
Seeing that Fluffy stubbornly refused to let him enter the trap door, Fish angrily gave him two more paws, then jumped off his head and planned to leave here.
Anyway, he could come here when he had time, and according to Fish's biological clock, it was almost twelve o'clock, and he still remembered to send Norris back for Big Eyes.
"Woo~Woof!" ×3
Fluffy reluctantly said goodbye to Fish with his three heads at the same time, and his tail was wagging quickly.
After leaving the room at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor, Fish wandered around the area where Mrs. Norris often patrolled, and soon found it. The two cats rubbed against each other, and then walked towards the potions classroom together.
On the way, they also met Peeves, but this troublemaker looked at Fish and floated away with a curse, because he knew that he could not scare this little ghost who could turn into a cat.
The two cats returned to the potions classroom safely, and Fish turned into a human form and pushed the door in.
Fred and George were still fighting with Billywig, and Filch and Professor McGonagall were watching.
Meow? Minerva?
After seeing Professor McGonagall, Fish felt guilty for a while, but then he quickly reacted.
I'm here to deliver the detention mission, why should I feel guilty?
Fish, who had figured it out, smiled and trotted to Professor McGonagall's side.
"Minerva! My detention is complete! Detention is so fun!" ●ω●
Fish hugged Professor McGonagall's arm and rubbed his little head against it.
Professor McGonagall twitched her mouth when she heard it, thinking that it was a good thing that she was worried and came to take a look, otherwise she wouldn't know that Filch, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually give Fish special treatment.
Filch glared at him in anger, and Filch turned his head away with a guilty look, not daring to look at Professor McGonagall.
However, Professor McGonagall did not pursue his intention. After all, from a procedural point of view, it was Filch's right to assign any tasks he wanted. Even if he suddenly wanted to let a student go, it was his freedom.
As for Professor McGonagall's own wishes, she hoped to take this opportunity to teach Fich a lesson. Unfortunately, what she never expected was that even Filch, who was notorious among the students, would change his past style and become amiable to Fich.
Yes, people who like cats can't be that bad.
Professor McGonagall glanced at Filch who was scratching Mrs. Norris's chin, and made such a very subjective conclusion.
However, in this way, Fich's detention can no longer be arranged by Filch.
Professor McGonagall glanced at Fich indifferently, "Since today's detention is completed, why don't you go back to sleep?"
After sending Fich away, she turned to Filch and said, "From tomorrow, Fich's detention work will be confirmed by me, and you just need to keep an eye on the two Weasleys."
"It should be, it should be."
Seeing that Professor McGonagall did not mean to pursue his intention, Filch smiled and nodded.
As for what will happen to Fich in the future, Filch can only regretfully express that he is powerless.
"Meow?"ω
Fish looked at the two in confusion, not understanding what they were talking about.

The level of the Philosopher's Stone should not have been set at the beginning, and the magic mirror was put in very late.
In addition, in the original book, Hermione opened the gate of the restricted area with a single move, which was definitely problematic. At the opening ceremony, Dumbledore specifically mentioned the corridor on the fourth floor. Given the twins' personalities, how could they not come to check it out?
Although it is also possible that Rowling did not describe this aspect in detail, I am more inclined to believe that they came but failed to open the wooden door.

Zhongyuan's dead cat started biting me again… It's only been a few days since he recovered!
The editor asked me to update more often, but I still have too few manuscripts, so I compromised and decided to update twice a week on weekends.
