Chapter 117: Tricking the kitty again! (Edited)

As with Harry, Dumbledore had no intention of preventing Fish from doing anything dangerous.

For he had always had the idea that the more he experimented in his life, the more he would accomplish, and that under his watch, if there was danger, he would be able to resolve it quickly.

Dumbledore had done much more exciting things when he was younger than they were, and though he regretted it a lot, he had to admit that he wouldn't be as successful as he was without his youthful experiences.

So Dumbledore couldn't wait for the children he valued, Fish and Harry, to experience many things in their lives, and he had the confidence and ability to keep things under control.

Although it had taken him a while to discover that Fish had snuck into the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore was prepared for it and had only agreed to Hagrid taking him to the Forbidden Forest after making sure that Fish would not be in too much danger there.

Given Fish's character, it was unlikely that he would not try to sneak into the Forbidden Forest alone.

The one thing Dumbledore didn't expect was that Fish would start by going after a particularly dangerous creature like the Acromantula.

But it was good to know that, after today's confirmation that Fish was not in danger even from Acromantulas, he didn't need to worry about Fish sneaking into the Forbidden Forest, and Dumbledore could continue to focus on his efforts to catch Voldemort and guide Harry.

If he felt the danger was too great, he could tell Minerva to keep Fish under control.

Well, everything was under control.

Sensing the location of the tracking spell, the invisible Dumbledore followed silently behind the equally silent and invisible Fish.

Shortly after entering the Forbidden Forest, Fish removed the invisibility cloak from his body and went to play with his animal friends, as he always did.

Dumbledore watched him with bemusement as he wandered among the magical creatures, and yawned as he felt a little sleepy.

Didn't he say he was here to annoy the Acromantulas? Why did it look like he was just playing?

Little did Fish know that the mean old man was watching him.

As for Dumbledore's confusion, it was easy to explain that revenge against the Acromantulas was not as important as fun.

While Fish was having fun with his friends, Dumbledore was leaning against a tree, almost falling asleep.

At first he had followed Fish, watching as he visited the various magical creatures, but when Fish got on a flying horse and began to scamper through the sky, Dumbledore gave up following him.

Although Dumbledore could fly with his own powers, he was no match for the speed of a flying horse like a thestral, so he had to find a place to rest and wait for Fish to have enough fun before following him again.

Dumbledore, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly jumped up from the ground in a daze.

So much time had passed that the tracking spell faded.

When he looked up again, Fish had gone somewhere.

Indeed, something had gone wrong again....

Dumbledore was calm, every time he followed Fish, he was used to the unexpected.

Anyway, Fish's ultimate target was the Acromantulas, so he could go and crouch over there, but without a tracking spell to sense Fish's location, if he was in any kind of danger, he would have to concentrate even harder if he wanted to secretly help without being noticed....

"Ugh... it's too much work for an old man like me..." Dumbledore sighed helplessly and flew in the direction of the Acromantulas' lair.

As he flew nearby, he saw some of the Acromantulas on the outside of the periphery restlessly wiggling their eight legs, while frantically snapping their pincers.

Not far away, hearing the clicking noise, more than a dozen Acromantulas quickly approached.

Acromantulas are cold-blooded and ruthless, but they were no less intelligent, and as soon as they realized that some invisible creature was targeting them, they worked out a plan.

"Meow?" ?ω?

Fish circled twice around an Acromantula, noting that it was anxiously moving in place, not seeming to find its position like the spiders in front of it.

The nearby large Acromantulas also did not move closer like the previous ones, but kept tapping their cheeks as if they were communicating.

Fish backed up a couple of steps in silence, then sharpened his hearing and listened for a moment.

There was a rustling in the distance, and a host of creatures were coming toward him.

But it couldn't be the Lochlin and the others coming.

So Fish turned and ran.

'Are you trying to trick me? do you think I listened to Minerva's tales for nothing?'

As he ran away, Fish made a special noise to tell these stupid spiders that their plan had failed.

"Click, click, click, click, click..."

The Acromantulas pretending to be stupid immediately chased Fish, and the dozen or so spiders that had been trying to surround Fish were alerted by the sound and joined in chasing Fish.

Dumbledore, hovering in the sky, saw that after the twenty or so Acromantulas ran wildly across the Forbidden Forest, several Thestrals appeared in the sky, circling twice in the air before quickly dispersing and flying off in different directions.

A few moments later, the Thestrals returned, followed by a large group of creatures from the Forbidden Forest, who came from all directions and pounced on the twenty or so Acromantulas.

After a struggle, most of the Acromantulas were torn to pieces by the creatures of the Forbidden Forest, leaving only three wounded Acromantulas trying to escape.

The rest of the slain Acromantulas were divided among the carnivorous creatures of the Forbidden Forest, some of whom were not afraid of poison and liked to eat it, and took it upon themselves to eliminate the Acromantulas' poison sacs.

The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched as he watched.

The Acromantulas' poison was expensive, a liter cost around 100 Galleons, but no one can obtain these valuable poisons while they are alive, not even Hagrid.

The Acromantulas' venom dries quickly after they die, and their bodies are usually devoured by their relatives, which is one of the reasons why the price of their venom remains so high.

Even Dumbledore felt a little sad that so many sacks of poison were wasted down there.

"Meow~!"

Just as Dumbledore was contemplating stealing a few bags of poison, a bloodcurdling cat scream was heard from downstairs, followed by Fish returning to his human form, taking off his invisibility cloak and running towards a unicorn.

"Didn't we agree to leave three spiders for me?!" ?(●ΦДΦΦ●)?

Fish grabbed the horn from Lochlin's head and shook it vigorously.

"Whinny~"

Lochlin let go of Fish's hands and tapped the ground twice with his front hooves to show that he had not broken his promise, and that they had indeed left Fish three Acromantulas.

"They've beaten those three until they were badly injured! What's the point of leaving them to me?"∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Fish, who had not expected Lochlin to do such a thing, choked and kept protesting to Lochlin.

But Lochlin didn't care about that, and after taking a couple of swings at Fish, he turned and tried to run away.

Then Fish grabbed him by the tail.

"Don't run away, meow!"

"Winny!"

The unicorn was so distressed by the pull on his tail that he screamed for Fish to let go.

"Don't even think about it! Unless you promise me not to do this in the future, meow!"

Lochlin ignored him and continued on his way, dragging Fish for a long distance as Fish held on to his tail.

Some of the carnivorous creatures of the forbidden forest that had participated in the operation, seeing that Fish seemed to leave the three half-dead Acromantulas alone, immediately pounced on them, finishing them off and dragging their bodies away to feed.

Fish looked over his shoulder at them and ignored them, he wasn't interested in a helpless opponent - he would never let go until he got Lochlin's promise!

Apparently sensing Fish's determination, Lochlin reluctantly stopped and turned to negotiate with Fish.

"Whinny~"

"Three, as promised! Why did you exchange it for one? I don't agree."

"Whinny~! Whinny~!"

"It's no fun fighting these big half-dead spiders, meow! You said three before!"

"Whinny~"

"Lochlin why have you become as bad as Minerva, meow~" ?(●ΦДΦ●)?

"Whinny~"
