Chapter 615: Wild Lord (Edited)

First of all, they have to be good at fighting! Preferably with sharp claws.

As Fish enveloped himself in a bright green glow, he thought about the traits he wanted.

Next, he wanted wings... and the pair of antler-like horns on Harry's head were interesting, he wanted one...

Lastly, a larger size, a kitten in his own form, and a black-pawed cat form would be sufficient, but a larger size would be better for fighting.

As Fish's ideas sharpened, his radiant body began to take shape.

"Professor McGonagall... What is Fish transforming into? Is it a bear? Why does it seem to have horns?" Hermione asked, stuttering as she looked at the large, bright green body.

Professor McGonagall didn't know what was happening either. She looked at Dumbledore and asked, concerned, "Has Fish failed? Or has he transformed into some magical creature?"

"This question..." Dumbledore ruffled his hair and then said something nonsensical, "Perhaps Newt might know."

As the group wondered what to do, the glow around Fish's body dissipated, revealing a creature with a strange appearance before them.

The creature had the beak and wings of a bird, covered in a layer of tough-looking feathers, but at the same time, it had bear-like limbs and a large, bulky body. Behind its buttocks, a small furry tail blended with the feathers, almost unnoticeable unless one looked closely.

Only its eyes still had the same green as Fish's.

"Goo-goo?"

?v?

Fish raised his hands in front of him and noticed that in addition to the claws, the long-awaited wings had also appeared. Fish immediately jumped into the air with excitement, flapping his winged arms like a bird.

And he flew!

Fish was overjoyed to find that his body didn't fall, but before he could fully celebrate, he discovered that he couldn't descend either. He couldn't rise, but he also couldn't fall.

"What's happening?!"

Fish accelerated his fluttering, but he kept floating in the air, unable to ascend even an inch.

[Wing Flap: Flap your wings to avoid falling to the ground]

"Fish?" Professor McGonagall shouted when she finally regained her senses after a long moment of stunned silence and approached Fish, who continued flapping his wings and spinning in the air.

"Minerva!"

Fish stopped flapping his wings, and his plump body fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Why can't Fish fly high enough?"

?(?v?)?

Fish asked with a greatly offended voice.

"Well... it's probably because you're too large in this form..."

Professor McGonagall chuckled softly as she looked at the strange creature in front of her, then reached out to stroke Fish's chubby body.

"Goo..." Fish said, looking at his round belly and pouting, "I should have known Fish wouldn't be this big..."

"Well, Fish, do you know what kind of animal you've turned into?" Professor McGonagall felt relieved to see that Fish didn't seem to have any issues and got down to business.

"Goo?" Fish shook the antlers on his head. "I think it's called Mr. Savage... Does Newt's book not mention it, goo?"

Fish not only learned that the animal he had transformed into was called Mr. Savage from the knowledge he had acquired in his mind but also discovered several new spells, just like when he transformed into a tiger and a werewolf.

[Shooting Stars: Summons a shooting star in a specific area]

[Hurricane: Summons a fierce wind to repel enemies]

"Wisdom of the Owl: Enhances target perception."

"Lightning Summoning Technique: Summons lightning from the sky."

With the addition of the less useful "Wing Lift," Fish now had five more spells, and he had the feeling that his spells "Moonfire," "Stellar Fire," and "Snowstorm" had also improved.

Now, not being able to fly didn't seem like a big deal to Fish anymore, as being able to fight was more important to him than not being able to fly high.

"Goo! This lord form is impressive!"

(≧≦)

Fish laughed happily, and only after a while, as an afterthought, he said, "How did Fish's voice become like Hedwig's and Catherine's?"

"Ah..." Hermione said as she looked up and closely observed Fish's head, "So you do have a part of your head that looks like an owl."

"Coo? Ah, really?" Fish's eyes lit up; he had indeed wondered if he could become an owl.

Immediately, he tried to turn his head, attempting to rotate it 180 degrees like owls do...

And he failed.

The plump body of the Wild Lord did not allow Fish to perform such a difficult maneuver.

"This isn't even an owl's head!"

Fish snorted in denial.

But Fish soon left such trivialities behind, and his chubby body comically bounced against the stag that Harry had transformed into.

"Goo, goo, goo, goo... Harry, look, Fish's antlers are bigger than yours!"

Fish lowered his head and, just like TV stags, clashed his antlers with Harry's.

Harry was prepared to dodge at first, and by the time he tried to retreat, he found his antlers already stuck...

"Yee-!" (Let go!)

Harry shouted in panic.

"Oh, sorry goo."

(⊙v⊙)

Fish apologized and straightened up...

As their antlers remained stuck, Fish stood up and lifted Harry, who could only squeal "Yee-Yee" and panic-strickenly stomp his hooves.

"Goo!"

Fish, realizing he seemed to have gotten into trouble again, shook his head in the same panic...

Then Harry screamed even louder.

"Don't move!" Professor McGonagall drew her wand and hurriedly approached while shouting.

Only after some commotion and Fish returning to his human form, the unfortunate Harry was released, stumbling on his four trembling legs for a few steps before simply falling to his knees, dazed, and sticking out his tongue.

"I'm sorry..."

(?ω?)

Fish stepped forward and gave Harry a rejuvenating and stabilizing injection, finally making Harry feel better.

"Yee..." Harry gasped for breath and then chose to stay lying down.

As he and Ginny couldn't return to their human forms as freely as Fish after their first transformation, they simply stayed in the Chamber of Secrets, and Fish, Hermione, and the Weasley brothers stayed with them.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, however, couldn't stay for long and prepared to leave.

"Fish," Hermione warned in a low voice, pulling at Fish's shirt, "Quidditch."

"Oh! That's right nya!"

∑(ΦДΦ)

Fish remembered there was something else and rushed forward to stop Dumbledore and tell him the situation.

"I see," Dumbledore said, nodding and smiling at Harry and the others, "I will talk to Umbridge."

Once they both left, Fish refocused his attention on Harry and Ginny.

"Are you dating nya?"

?ω?

Fish asked curiously as he approached the two deer, a male and a female. Hermione also peeked with a gossiping expression.

And George and Fred winked again and let out a strange laugh.

Harry, lying on the ground, looked at Ginny. In this moment, it seemed as if they had returned to the first time they had met. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Harry, timidly hiding her body behind Hermione.

Harry, who originally only had eyes for Cho Chang, suddenly became interested in Ginny.
