248 Chapter 248: The Lion's Roar (Edited)

The same family room.

The apothecary's familiar furnishings.

A figure crouched by the cauldron, stirring the chrysoprase in the pot with a long-handled spoon, and muttering the following words, "Hmph! I'll make Minerva taste the sting of the Multijuice Potion, too."

(〃｀3′〃)

Fawkes stood over the medicine cabinet, bowed his head and looked at Fish, who was preparing the Multijuice Potion, and after a moment of being conflicted, decided not to speak to Dumbledore on the subject....

The main reason was that he believed that even if he told Dumbledore, Dumbledore would probably choose to watch the show.

Besides, it was no big deal, so Fawkes decided to be a spectator.

Fish had thought about asking Professor McGonagall for a bottle of the Multijuice Potion and then trying to trick her into drinking it secretly, but Professor McGonagall had been the best and had made Fish drink it on the spot.

Although she didn't know what Fish was planning, she was just trying to stop the cat from drinking the Multijuice Potion and do something fun with it, but she ended up ruining the cat's plan for revenge and "punishing" it in return.

So, with a feeling of resentment, Fish went to the Room of Requirement and started making a new Multijuice Potion.

Luckily, Hermione was there every time he made it, and he didn't reveal to Minerva that he had learned how to make it.

It took over a month to make the Multijuice Potion, so Fish's plan for revenge could not be carried out so quickly, and to lower Professor McGonagall's guard, the kitten had been very obedient.

Besides the cold, Fish had spent most of this time sleeping by the fire, or in Hermione's furry arms to keep warm and help her lick her fur...

Hermione was delighted by her situation, it also caused a wave of hatred among other girls.

But what could be more important to Hermione than the cat?

The Christmas vacations passed without incident.

When the school year began, Fawkes was taken back by Dumbledore, and during this time Fish did not seek out Uroboros, as he knew that when it snowed, the snakes would fall into a deep sleep, and Fish would naturally not bother him.

Dumbledore had spent the entire vacation watching Ginny Weasley, and had confirmed that she was not possessed or controlled by Voldemort, even when he had secretly used Legeremancy on her and had found signs that her memories had been erased and altered.

To avoid alarming the others, Dumbledore did not speak to Ginny, pretending not to know anything.

Furthermore, the altered memory can still be recovered, but even Dumbledore can do nothing about the deleted memory. Even if he really talked to Ginny, he wouldn't be able to find out anything, so it was best to stay quiet.

Of course, it was also because there hadn't been any attacks at the school since Halloween, so Dumbledore had been able to sit back and watch things unfold so comfortably.

Looking for another breakthrough, Dumbledore had to get back on track and start following Fish again.

Little did Fish know that the old bad guy, who had been dormant for the entire Christmas vacations, was planning to come back to haunt him every night, and he was feeling depressed that the vacations were over and Fawkes was gone.

So the unhappy kitten, out of habit, jumped into Hermione's arms for comfort.

On the first day of school, students returning to school from outside saw black-haired Hermione hugging cat-shaped Fish, holding his head up and strutting in front of everyone.

The reaction was surprisingly unanimous: first they were surprised by Hermione's appearance, then they saw Fish in their arms and immediately became jealous.

After asking the students who had stayed at school about what had happened, many of them started looking for ways to make a Multijuice Potion.

But this sort of thing, The students who stayed at school had already tried it, and given Hermione's precedent, the school responded early as well.

To borrow the book 'Moste Potente Potions', you had to have the approval of Professors Snape and McGonagall, and not just Professor Lockhart's signature.

Just as Hermione's black hair faded and her eyes went back to brown, the Multijuice Potion that Fish had secretly prepared was ready....

"Minerva~." ?●ω●?

In the evening, Fish went to Professor McGonagall's office as usual and asked her to tell him a story.

After all this time, Professor McGonagall's narration had improved markedly, and while not as good as that of a "professional" like Lockhart, she was able to keep Fish's attention, rather than focusing on the plot of the battle as she had done before.

This afternoon, however, the cat was clearly distracted, though he disguised it well, and in his cat form, Professor McGonagall couldn't really see Fish's expression.

After a story, Fish returned to his human form, then pulled a pile of food out of his magic bag and placed it on Professor McGonagall's desk.

"Minerva, let's eat nya!"

(●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish wagged his tail and yelped.

Fish had eaten with Professor McGonagall from time to time, in the kitchen and in the office, especially since he had decided to take revenge on Professor McGonagall, so Professor McGonagall didn't even notice Fish's thoughts and picked up the cutlery with a smile on her face.

Placing an empty bowl in front of Professor McGonagall, Fish pulled out a teapot and poured a bowl of steaming yellowish brown soup into it.

"It's cold, have some hot soup first." said Fish solicitously, pushing the bowl towards Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall patted her head happily at Fish's "obedience" and then, without asking, took the bowl, blew gently and took a big sip.

"Hmm? did you forget to salt this soup?"

Professor McGonagall murmured suspiciously as she set the bowl down and licked her lips.

Then she saw Fish looking at her with sparkling eyes and a smile on his face.

(●?▽?●)

"?"

While Professor McGonagall was puzzled, her stomach churned, followed by a burning sensation throughout her body.

"!!!!"

Professor McGonagall's eyes widened and she had a bad feeling.

She had known from Dumbledore that Fish could enter the Chamber of Secrets at will, but because of Dumbledore's request, and because Fish had acted normally, Professor McGonagall had pretended not to know.

But in this situation, she immediately misunderstood that Fish was under Voldemort's control and then secretly poisoned her.

So, Professor McGonagall immediately pulled out her wand, endured the discomfort in her body, and cast an Imperius Curse counter curse on Fish, trying to get him out of Voldemort's control, and then a binding spell to prevent him from being controlled again and escaping.

In the face of Professor McGonagall's spell, Fish did not hide at all.

He didn't know that Professor McGonagall had misunderstood the current situation. The reason the kitten didn't run or hide was simply because he knew it was useless to run away. He would be punished anyway, so he might as well stay here and watch Professor McGonagall transform.

And it's not like Fish didn't try to run away before when he put chili sauce on Professor McGonagall's bread, but he got caught in the end...

Just a matter of taking a beating, brave, fearless cat!

When Fish was bound into a ball of dough by the binding spell, the burning sensation in Professor McGonagall's body quickly disappeared, and a long yellowish-brown fur grew on his body, with a long darker mane around his head.

Gryffindor was represented by a lion, so Fish figured Professor McGonagall would probably be less angry if she became a lion-person.... It was a bit of feline ingenuity.

Professor McGonagall, who had sensed the change in herself, understood what was going on and was relieved to learn that she had misunderstood, and then felt a sense of dread.

Then, filled with anger, Professor McGonagall closed her eyes and took a deep breath....

"Fish McGonagall!!!"
