Chapter 495: Licking (Edited)

As the champions began to dance, others entered the floor, and some of the teachers paired up and danced.

When Fish had entered, he had danced alone with Hermione, but now that there were so many people dancing together, it was interesting, so Fish looked up and around as he danced.

"Hermione, it looks like they don't dance the same way we do."

(°ω°≡°°ω°)

Fish said to Hermione after observing the surroundings for a while.

Although everyone basically dances ballroom dances, there were many different types of ballroom dances, and most of them didn't even know what they were dancing, they were just students after all, and they couldn't dance at a level that only a pureblood "aristocrat" like Malfoy would know.

Of course, none of this mattered to Fish, but the main thing was that he saw Fred and Angelina, both dancing with such abandon that people were dodging backwards to avoid being hit.

"What's that dance they're doing?"

(=?ω?=)

On the other hand, it is true that this unbridled dance is most favored by Fish.

Hermione looked at Fred sternly and replied sullenly, "I think it's a Latin dance, I don't know exactly, I don't know how to do it."

Latin dancing was fun and lively, but could she stay as close to Fish as she was now?

With that thought in mind, Hermione leaned closer to Fish and rested her furry black cat head on Fish's shoulder, the cat ears on her head twitching reflexively.

Fish, who was watching Fred and Angelina dance, felt a little tingle on his cheek and unconsciously looked down, and found Hermione's cat ears, and that dark fur....

Lick!

(=???=)

Fish instinctively licked it.

Hermione flinched and tried to avoid him. It wasn't the first time it had happened to her, but so far Fish had only done it when they were both in cat form, and she had overlooked the fact that her current situation wasn't really that different from her cat form.

But just like in his cat form, Fish was so interested that he didn't care about the rest of the mess, he just took Hermione firmly in his arms and licked her fur vigorously.

Hermione struggled a little and found that she couldn't let go, but at first, when she was held in cat form and Fish licked her, Fish had forced himself on her and wouldn't let her resist, so Hermione got used to it.

At first Hermione didn't understand why Fish was so obsessed with licking her fur. But then she thought about it more carefully and realized that she, in her Animagus form, seemed to like it too, so it wasn't so hard to understand why Fish liked it so much.

Hermione felt comfortable after a few licks from Fish who struggled twice and then gently let herself fall into Fish's arms.

Although the thought of all the people around them made Hermione, who was much less sassy than Fish, feel shy, she was so limp that she couldn't help but bury her furry head in Fish's arms and pretend she was an ostrich as Fish licked her.

Everyone around them stopped dancing and watched, dumbfounded, as Fish licked Hermione in his arms, and even "The Weird Sister" stopped playing music.

"Nya?"

(°ω°≡°°ω°)

Noticing the sudden silence around him, Fish looked up in confusion.

"Why is everyone staring at Fish?"

(=?ω?=)?

Fish asked, frowning, confused.

Then he was dragged away by Hermione, who had regained her strength.

"Hermione, don't you dance nya anymore?"

Fish let Hermione lead him,

He left the dance floor, but asked curiously.

Hermione had been looking forward to the dance, and had even taught him how to dance, why did he stop dancing after dancing for a while?

"Did you just call that dancing?!"

A shy Hermione glared at Fish.

"Ahahahaha..."

(=?ω?=)?

Fish laughed dryly and stroked his head, excusing himself, "Because Hermione has beautiful fur on her body, Fish couldn't help but lick it nya."

Hermione gave Fish another withering look, but was secretly pleased.

But the looks she was getting from time to time were too much for Hermione, so she decided to go out and hide and play with Fish a bit....

But just as she was about to suggest that Fish and she take a walk together, Gabrielle suddenly jumped out from the side.

"Fish!"

The little girl hugged Fish, "Gabrielle wants to be like you too!".

Fish would have loved to expand the cat population, but, unfortunately, he had run out of the multijuice potion Snape had given him, and he himself hadn't made any more....

The main reason was that Snape had no more dried shredded African tree snake skins left, and he didn't have the materials to make them if he wanted to.

"Not now..." Fish rubbed Gabrielle's head and said regretfully, "Fish ran out of multijuice potion, and I don't have the ingredients to make the nya potion. "

(=?ω?=)?

"Why..."

Gabrielle pouted sadly, but soon changed her request.

"Then dance with Gabrielle!"

"But Fish's partner is Hermione..."

In Fish's mind, he was only supposed to dance with Hermione.

Then, after Gabrielle and Hermione explained the situation to him, he realized that there were several people on the dance floor who had indeed changed partners.

Harry's partner, Parvati, for example, was now dancing with a Beauxbatons boy, while Harry, the lead, was sitting in a chair off the dance floor, absently whispering something to Percy.

"So what's the point of this dance partner, anyway?"

(?ω?)

Fish didn't get it.

Gabrielle didn't care and dragged him onto the dance floor.

"Don't think about it, come and dance with Gabrielle!"

Hermione nudged Fish and said, "Dance with Gabrielle, I'll be here."

She couldn't wait for Fish and Gabrielle to take their eyes off her, and as for Fish being bothered by other girls... Hermione was used to it, and in Fish's case it wasn't as bad as Gabrielle's, and she was young enough that she posed no threat.

So Fish dazedly followed Gabrielle back to the dance floor, as the girl dazzlingly dragged Fish in circles.

Fish and Gabrielle's dance was like opening Pandora's box, and the other girls left their partners behind and flocked to Fish after the song....

They all wanted to dance with Fish, and it would have been nice to be licked by the cat, like Hermione before!

"Nya!"

∑(=`Д′=)

Fish's [Beast Instinct] went into overdrive at the sight of the crowd swarming and, without a word, he caught Gabrielle under the armpits, exerted force on his feet and leapt straight over the heads of the crowd.

"Hermione! Let's get out of here nya!"

Leaping over the crowd, Fish grabbed Hermione with one hand and Gabrielle with the other, and was out of the Great Hall before anyone could react.
