Chapter 412: The Love Problem of Cats and Cats (Edited)

The atmosphere was uncomfortable, and Fish looked back and forth at the three silent women, and reached out to tug on Professor McGonagall's sleeve.

"Minerva, Fish is telling the truth and he won't be sneaking back to watching TV at night, so can you not ban Fish from watching TV nya?"

(??ω??)?

Without cartoons at night, the attraction of TV for the cat is naturally much less.

Professor McGonagall looked at Fish, who had a completely different approach, without words, she had not planned to completely forbid Fish to watch TV, and even if it was a problem with adult programs, it would be fine for Fish to watch TV only at night.

As he had thought before, it would be good for Fish to be able to watch TV at home quietly, rather than having to go out at night and attract the attention of Muggles.

As for the problem of being a TV addict, there's no need to go back to Hogwarts anyway, and when he goes to the Scamander's house as a guest later, Fish won't have that condition.

And judging by the way he had reacted yesterday afternoon, he had liked watching TV, but not to the point where he was willing to do anything for it, so Professor McGonagall wasn't so worried anymore.

But that didn't stop her from taking advantage of the incident to hold the kitten....

"Well...," Professor McGonagall said after a moment of feigned contemplation, before meeting Fish's anxious gaze, "Just this once, it won't happen again. And, from now on, you can't watch too much television...just for two hours a day."

"Two hours is too little nya! At least five hours."

?(?ΦДΦ?)?

The cat immediately protested loudly.

Professor McGonagall would not accept it and, after a heated discussion between mother and son, an agreement was reached: three hours of television a day and, if Fish behaved well, he would be rewarded with more time.

As Fish and Professor McGonagall argued about TV time, Hermione snapped out of her shyness....

Thanks to Fish, she was able to divert the conversation away from the embarrassing topic.

As for the mocking look in her unscrupulous mother's eyes, Hermione directly decided to ignore it.

However, just as Hermione exhaled a sigh of relief, she heard Professor McGonagall ask again, "What did you do besides watch TV last night?"

Hermione didn't have time to stop him before Fish told her what had happened last night.

"Fish and Hermione are boyfriend and girlfriend now! We even played mouth to mouth kissing!"

?(?ΦωΦ?)?

Fish didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of, whether it was the wild dogs and cats of old or the magical creatures of the forbidden forest, who had no shame when it came to having babies.

A kissing game is nothing compared to that.

Besides.

"In the end, it was Fish who won."

(●`? ′●)

Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Granger: ???

"Winning... what do you mean?"

Mrs. Granger was no longer in the mood to tease her daughter, she asked curiously.

Then Fish told the two of them what he knew to be a kissing game.

"..."

"..."

The two mothers looked at each other dumbfounded and then looked at Hermione in unison.

Hermione shrugged calmly, instead of blushing at every turn.

Because she'd realized that, aside from accidentally watching a bit of adult programming, she wanted to be Fish's girlfriend and kiss the cat, right? Why hide it?

When all was said and done, Hermione became very open about it.

Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Granger were delighted by this, but Mrs. Granger was a little sorry that her daughter had suddenly become too thick to tease her.

"I'd better get to work."

Satisfied with her curiosity and unable to tease her daughter, Mrs. Granger rose and took her leave.

"Fish has had enough, too!"

And Fish, who had finished his breakfast, stood up and looked at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall nodded to Mrs. Granger and then motioned to Fish, "Remember, you only have three hours now."

"Understood nya!"

(??ω??)

The little cat who got the permission jumped into the living room in the blink of an eye and deftly turned on the television.

Hermione wanted to watch TV with the cat, but Professor McGonagall stopped her.

"Wait a minute, Hermione." She motioned to the girl.

"Is there anything else, Professor?"

She was, after all, dealing with her future mother-in-law, so Hermione twiddled her fingers awkwardly and asked quietly.

"In private, you can call me Minerva, like Fish."

Professor McGonagall had always liked Hermione, so after seeing her so scared, Professor McGonagall used this as a way to relax her....

The effect was immediate, Hermione immediately felt less nervous and, with a hint of surprise, nodded her head and replied, "I know, Mi, Minerva."

"Hmm."

Professor McGonagall smiled kindly and then got down to business.

"As you know, Fish is still not very sensible and needs to be reminded and corrected about a lot of things, so if you really want to be with Fish in the future, you have to be prepared for it."

Thinking of the clique of witches that were always around Fish, Professor McGonagall thought it would be best to say something up front.

"Especially with him and the other girls, there are some things I can't talk about, and you have to talk to Fish yourself."

"Don't worry! Prof.... Minerva! I'm already mentally prepared!"

Hermione replied firmly, of course, she had already considered this topic, but from Hermione's point of view, this is no big deal....

Anyway, she usually competes with those people for cat ownership, she had won more than she had lost before, and now that she had the title of bride, there was no way she would lose to the others.

"Well, that's good..."

Professor McGonagall nodded, opening her mouth hesitantly, as if she wanted to say something to Hermione.

"Minerva?"

Hermione looked at Professor McGonagall in disbelief.

Professor McGonagall had always struck her as a very quick and capable person, and it was odd to see her so hesitant.

What Professor McGonagall was considering was whether to talk to Hermione about the possibility that Fish was not human.

Even if Hermione had been a half-blood wizard, Professor McGonagall would not have been so hesitant.

There had been many cases in wizarding history where offspring had been raised with magical creatures, and there had even been cases where wizards had sought out magical creatures to bond with so that their offspring would have special powers.

Hermione, however, came from a completely Muggle family, so Professor McGonagall wasn't sure if she would be able to accept this, and more importantly...if Mr. and Mrs. Granger could accept this matter.

Professor McGonagall had never considered keeping it a secret, as she herself, and her mother, suffered much emotional and family torture due to the Wizarding Confidentiality rules, so it was unlikely that she would allow Fish to make the same mistake in a similar situation.

His main hesitation now was whether to talk to Hermione right away, or wait until he and the Granger family had grown more attached.

The relationship had just been established, and even if Hermione and her parents couldn't accept it, it wouldn't be that detrimental to them.

But if they spent more time together, the chances of acceptance would be greater, and Professor McGonagall had faith in Fish's affinity, but this way, if they still couldn't accept it, it would be too painful for them both....

Well, perhaps with Fish's generous temperament, he should be better than Hermione.

In the end, consideration for the cat's feelings prevailed, and Professor McGonagall opted to hide it for the time being.

"Go play with Fish, and during the day, teach her a little more common sense." She assigned some of the educational duties to Hermione, hoping that their relationship would grow closer in the process.

"Leave it to me!"

Hermione immediately put Professor McGonagall's abnormal behavior behind her and responded with satisfaction.
