Chapter 122: Future daughters-in-law (Edited)

The girls' rivalry, naturally, would not be known to Fish, who, upon leaving the Gryffindor Common Room, made his way to Professor McGonagall's office.

"Minerva~" ?●w●?

Fish flung open the door and jumped into Professor McGonagall's arms.

"Why are you here so early today?" asked Professor McGonagall, kissing Fish on the cheek and pinching his ear before setting him down.

"Fish didn't want to do his homework, so I came to have you read me a book!"

The kitten responded confidently.

But it was the first day of vacation, so it didn't matter that Fish didn't do his homework, so Professor McGonagall just gave him a dirty look and opened the drawer to pull out a storybook.

"I don't listen to stories today, meow!"

Fish stopped Professor McGonagall in her tracks and pulled the book out of his magic bag and handed it to her.

"Read this to Fish, there are lots of cats in it!"(つΦwΦ)つ

Professor McGonagall picked up the book and glanced at the cover, which was covered in unmoving felines.

"A Muggle book?"

"Yes," Fish nodded, "Ratteeth gave it to me for Christmas."

"Rat's Teeth? Oh, it's Granger."

It took a moment of memory for Professor McGonagall to make the connection between Ratteeth and Hermione.

Well, she was a good girl.

Whether it was Hermione's excellent performance in class, or her gift of the books to Fish, she won a lot of points with Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall nodded silently, then sat down in her chair behind the desk, spreading the books out on the table, while Fish immediately slid into her arms, using Professor McGonagall's legs as chairs, and sat down in front of the desk.

"Minerva, pick up the book, Fish wants to read it too!" ?(●ΦwΦ●)?" said Fish as he swung his legs and slapped his hands on the desk.

When she had read stories to Fish, from time to time she had asked to read them together, but like now, Fish would mostly look at the pictures in the book, ignoring the text as much as he could.

So Professor McGonagall set the book upright as he had been told, and Fish sat on her lap, looking at the pictures of the various cats in the book, while listening to Professor McGonagall read the descriptions to his, and occasionally discussing the cats' appearance and abilities with his.

"Minerva, this cat is really fat!" (●>▽<●)

Fish pointed to a picture of a rabbit in a book and laughed.

"Although the rabbit looks plump, it's not bad at all..."

Professor McGonagall smiled and pinched Fish's ear, then extracted the main information from the text beside her and relayed it to Fish more vividly, pointing to something he might be interested in and guiding Fish to read it himself.

Fish was rarely interested in books other than fairy tales, so Professor McGonagall naturally took the opportunity to cultivate his reading habit.

Moreover, Professor McGonagall herself was interested in this book from the Muggle world.

It was the first time Professor McGonagall had learned that there were so many types of felines in the world, as wizards usually focus only on magical creatures and rarely study creatures without magical powers.

And as a wizard whose animagus is a cat, whose patronus is a cat, and whose own school is a lion, Professor McGonagall naturally has a fondness for other felines.

Hermione Granger was a good girl!

Professor McGonagall was already fond of Hermione, who had excelled in her studies, and now she was even more fond of her.

With this in mind, Professor McGonagall suddenly lowered her head, "Fish, what do you think of this Granger girl?"

"Rat's Teeth?" ?w?

Fish cocked his head to the side for a moment, "She has weird teeth, like Scabbers."

Professor McGonagall: "..."

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Professor McGonagall tugged bitterly at Fish's cat ears, "I mean, how do you feel about Granger? do you like her?"

Like most old mothers, Professor McGonagall had unconsciously started thinking about Fish's life when there was someone close to her son.

It wasn't that she wanted to find a girlfriend for Fish now, but she wanted to see if there was anyone she could look at and check out for Fish.

After all, our little Fish was so innocent and sweet, what if she is cheated on by a bad woman?

By this time, Professor McGonagall had completely forgotten that the little man in her arms was a heartbreaker and had forgotten her worries as she prepared his Christmas list.

Unaware that her mother had already started looking for a future mate, Fish blinked his big green eyes and said, "Of course I like Rat Teeth, she's not like the other girls who are always bothering Fish, they're always chattering around Fish and sometimes it's annoying!" ? w?

"Uh..."

That was not the answer Professor McGonagall was looking for.

"There's more?"

Professor McGonagall didn't give up and kept asking.

"Of course there are! Ratteeth has as much hair on his head as Big Man (Hagrid), AND Fish loves it, meow! It's a pity he doesn't have as much hair on his face as Big Man (Hagrid)."

Fish replied seriously, but the response left Professor McGonagall even more speechless.

"Besides, he gave Fish this interesting book, meow! But what Fish liked the most is that Ratteeth and Minerva look alike" ?(●ΦwΦ●)?

Professor McGonagall, who was still laughing at first, heard this last reason, and suddenly felt a warm feeling, hugged Fish in her arms and kissed his little head several times.

It's a pity that Fish really didn't like such a warm emotional expression.

"Meow, Minerva, let go of me!" ?(●｀Д′●)?

Fish squirmed and fought against the kisses falling on his face, protesting against Professor McGonagall's behavior of ignoring the cat's feelings.

After a few kisses, Professor McGonagall calmed down and released her hug, but still with a smile on her face.

"What do you mean Granger looks like me?" asked Professor McGonagall, pleased to spoil the cat, but feeling no resemblance to Hermione, whose hair was always neatly combed and very different from Hermione's Hagrid-like hairstyle.

In any case, Hermione Granger's good grades were like his own, but his own son obviously didn't care about that.

Fish shook his head vigorously, then used his hands to smooth down the messy hair that Professor McGonagall had made, and then answered Professor McGonagall's question.

In other words, he told Professor McGonagall about the Gryffindor girls who had tried to do his homework for him, but Hermione had stopped them.

"He said something along the lines of what you said, and I think you'd like it, Minerva."

Professor McGonagall was even more pleased with Hermione, her eyes narrowed in a smile as she reached out and rubbed Fish's head. "You're right, I like Hermione, Fish can have more fun with her in the future."

Professor McGonagall, who had temporarily added Hermione to her list of daughters-in-law, had switched to calling her by her first name, a more intimate way of addressing her, knowing that even the boy who had survived the disaster was only called "Potter" by Professor McGonagall.

"But..." Fish frowned slightly, "Ratteeth is just as much of a nag as you are, Minerva?" ?w?

"I'm being naggy!"

Professor McGonagall pretended to be annoyed and grabbed Fish's cheeks.

"Of course you are, meow! Minerva's always talking, and Fish's head hurts from talking so much" ?(●ΦДΦ●)?

Even though the mighty and uncompromising Fish was caught, he still complained.

"That's because you're a disobedient little man!" Said Professor McGonagall.

"No, it isn't! Fish has been very good lately, meow." ?(●ΦДΦ●)?

The kitten lied with straight eyes.

Professor McGonagall, who had no idea what Fish had been doing for the night, stroked his head and said, "Fish has been very good lately, so I'm not scolding you, am I? If you're good, Mommy won't scold you, she'll reward you."

"Reward? What reward?"

Fish suddenly became excited.

"What reward does Fish want? I'll do my best to please you."

Professor McGonagall thought it would be a good idea to give the little boy a small reward for being such a good boy lately.

"Can Fish not do his homework?". (●ΦwΦ●)?

Without even thinking about it, Fish said what he wanted.

And Professor McGonagall resolutely refused, "No!".

Fish: "Meow! You're a big liar, Minerva!" ?(●`Д′●)?

Professor McGonagall: "I just said to try to please you as much as possible, it's not okay not to do homework."

Fish: "Then I don't want to take a Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

Professor McGonagall: "Not even that."

Fish: "You're such a liar, Minerva!"∑(●`Д′●)
