Chapter 370: This gift Fish did not spend money, I don't dislike it nya (Edited)

January 9 in the evening.

Fish finished the day's history with Professor McGonagall, as usual, and then left her office.

He went over to a quiet corner and pulled out an old piece of parchment, along with his wand.

"I solemnly swear to do no good."

Fish tapped his wand against the parchment in his hand.

In an instant, thin lines of ink spread like a spider's web from where he had touched the tip of his wand, interconnecting, crisscrossing and spreading to all corners of the parchment; then the words appeared at the top, in large, green, flowery letters.

'Messrs. Lunatic, Wormtail, Canute and Cornamenta, the purveyors of magical aid to the mischievous take pride in presenting the Marauder's Map.'

This map showed all the details of Hogwarts castle and its grounds, but the most unusual thing was that there were many little black dots moving around the map, each with a name in very small print.

Fish scanned it and, indeed, it was a bit difficult to find Black's name in such a big pile of dots....

He also noticed that, in addition to the names of students and teachers, the Marauder's Map showed pets like Mrs. Norris, Hedwig, and Tina, ghosts like Peeves and Baron the Bloody, and magical animals like Fawkes and Uroboros, and the Forbidden Forest and Black Lake area was also full of black dots that moved back and forth.

So Fish gave up looking for Black in it and turned his attention to Snape's office.

The little black dot representing Severus Snape remained still, moving about the room from time to time.

Fish nodded in satisfaction, he had asked Harry to lend him the Marauder's Map to confirm Snape's location, though it wasn't impossible to use the [Animal Tracking], but it wasn't a pleasant feeling to have a bunch of information pouring into your head.

Of course, the most important reason is....

A certain kitten slept so soundly in Potions class that he forgot to throw the Wild Mark at Snape.

After putting away the Marauder's Map and wand, Fish waved his arms and walked to the basement, after a while, he arrived at the door of the Slytherin dormitory.

"Triumphant Birthright."

There was no need to ask Malfoy, Daphne and the girls had informed Fish every time the password to the Slytherin dormitory was changed, so he could stop by regularly.

And Hufflepuff's way in was unchanged from start to finish, except for Ravenclaw's eagle, which was a bit tricky, and Fish sometimes had to wait for the others to solve the puzzle before he could get in.

But in the Ravenclaw dormitory, the fun was in the eagle, so Fish used to go play with the eagle for a good while, and, after opening the door, he would pat his bottom and leave.

When he entered the Slytherin common room, all the other students were already asleep, and Malfoy was the only one sitting in the common room, and when he saw Fish enter, he got up and greeted him.

"Shall we go find the Godfather now?"

Malfoy looked a little nervous, although Snape was his godfather and had always been protective, Snape's personality and manner was a little intimidating to Malfoy as a godson.

"Of course, Fish has confirmed that Severus is in his office right now nya."

(●`?′●)

Fish nodded, pulling Malfoy towards the door, knowing that Harry and he didn't get along, so the cat didn't reveal the Marauder's Map to him.

Snape's office wasn't far from the Slytherin common room, it was also in the Hogwarts basement, so Fish and Malfoy were soon at the office door.

Malfoy was still taking deep breaths to collect himself, when Fish went straight to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Professor Snape's cold voice sounded through the door, Fish pushed it open and entered.

"Severus, happy birthday nya!"

?(?≧?≦?)?

As soon as the little cat came through the door, he congratulated loudly.

Malfoy, who entered right behind him, also greeted Snape carefully, "Happy birthday, godfather."

Snape raised an eyebrow slightly and then replied calmly, "Thank you."

Snape expected Fish's arrival, but was a bit surprised by Malfoy's appearance.

Shortly thereafter, Fish offered a reply.

"Fish was going to bring everyone from Slytherin with him, just like he did with Minerva, but Draco said Severus wouldn't like that kind of celebration, so he just brought him nya."

Fish knew that Snape was Malfoy's godfather, which was why he had approached Malfoy first about it.

"Well, that's true." Snape nodded, not denying it.

As Snape's godson, Malfoy knew something about his godfather, though it wasn't easy to approach him.

"Godfather, this is my gift to you."

Malfoy stepped forward two paces and handed him the gift he had prepared.

His gift to Snape was a complete set of golden potions utensils, very much in keeping with the Malfoy family style, as flashy as ever.

So Snape merely glanced at it, gave a perfunctory smile, and set it aside on the desk.

"Severus, this is a gift from Fish!"

(つΦωΦ●Φ●)つ

From his pocket, Fish pulled out a large clay pot that looked quite heavy and handed it to you.

He explained as he handed it to you, "Fish forgot to save some money for your birthday present when he bought Christmas presents for everyone nya, and George and Fred's new products weren't available so soon, so Fish had to go to the Forbidden Forest to get you a present nya."

The kitten lowered his head slightly in embarrassment and rubbed the back of his neck.

"You're a potions teacher, so you must like potions supplies nya?".

(??ω??)?

Snape didn't care about the value of Fish's gift, but he was curious as to what the jar contained.

He gently weighed the jar in his hand and, judging by the shaking sensation, it was probably some sort of liquid, and Snape quickly calculated the total weight of the jar: about two kilograms.

The standard volume for a jar like this was a gallon, but Snape could feel that Fish had filled it more, so it would be more.

Then he reached up and opened the lid of the jar....

With a quick glance, Snape, a potions master, immediately recognized what was inside and quickly closed the lid before saying with an odd expression, "The poison of an Acromantula..."

"That's right nya!" the kitten nodded vigorously, "Fish remembered from his textbook that Acromantula poison seemed hard to get nya, so Fish took Fluffy and Uroboros, and off they went to the Forbidden Forest to look for the big spiders, and then they dutifully delivered the poison nya!"

?(?≧?≦?)?

After explaining the origin of this vial of poison, Fish bowed his head and tentatively asked, "This gift didn't cost Fish anything, so you won't be unhappy, right? Originally, Fish wanted to give you the Uroboros snakeskin. It's a pity that he has no intention of shedding his skin recently nya..."

"... Of course not." The corners of Snape's lips twitched twice, and he quickly replied, "I'd love the gift, and as for the basilisk skin molting, I don't need it, there are plenty more from the latest collection...."

He hesitated to tell Fish how valuable the poison in the jar was.

It wasn't that he was worried that Fish would take the gift, Snape was afraid that Fish would find out the price of the poison and go and get it from the Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest....

He knew that the relationship between Fish and those spiders wasn't very good!
