Chapter 125: Simply! (Edited)

"I'm full, meow! Minerva! I'm off to find the Big Man!"

Another weekend, Fish hurried to finish his breakfast as usual, waved to Professor McGonagall, and dashed off to Hagrid's hut without looking back.

He still snuck out almost every night to play in the Forbidden Forest, but why would he pass up the opportunity to go to the forest in name only?

And if he was too abnormal, it would be easy for Minerva to see that he wasn't such a good boy, which would be bad if she found out he wasn't.

Since he had been working hard on his homework for a while, Fish had realized that he still had a long way to go before he could beat Professor McGonagall, so he hadn't even revealed his clouded leopard form to her.

After listening to and reading so many storybooks, Fish is very different now!

Fish ran all the way to the door of Hagrid's hut. He didn't knock on the door. He turned into a kitten and went in through the gap under the door. Then he saw Hagrid squatting by his bed, not knowing what he was doing.

"Great man! These here, meow!" ?(●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish returned to his cat form and jumped onto Hagrid's back, suddenly greeting him.

Fish has done this before, sometimes he would get to Hagrid early and he would still be lying in bed and not wake up, Fish would even jump on his stomach and jump twice to wake Hagrid up.

It wasn't that Fish didn't know what was important, it was that he knew what was important that made him do it.

Hagrid was much stronger than any other human, and he slept so soundly that he could not be awakened without some violent means.

If he had gotten drunk the day before, he would be unconscious the next day, and even if Fish was bouncing everything he could on him, he wouldn't wake up, like the guy in the storybook who fell because of the wine.

So Fish had to pull out his wand and throw water on Hagrid's head.

But this time it was a different story, as Fish had just jumped on Hagrid's back when Hagrid jumped off the ground with a roar as if he'd had a big scare.

"Merlin's beard!!! Who's that?!!!"

Hagrid turned sharply and looked in the direction of the door, but was surprised to find that there was nothing behind him and that the door was closed.

"Who the hell is that?!! The guy from last night's Pig's Head ban?!"

Hagrid hadn't heard Fish's greeting, and he was so nervous that he kept turning around, looking around, and even grabbed a chair in his hand and held it next to his ear, ready to throw it.

Fish, who had been on Hagrid's back from the beginning, not only didn't respond, but changed back to his cat form and shrunk to the smallest size so Hagrid wouldn't notice his presence.

Heh heh heh. ?(=ΦωΦ=)?

Finding this very amusing, Fish continued to hang on Hagrid's back, watching him pacing restlessly around his hut, opening various hiding places and saying things that Fish couldn't quite understand.

"I won't give it back to you! You lost it to me in a card game! Get out of my hut! You're trespassing!"

After messing up his house, Hagrid still didn't notice anything unusual.

"Is he already gone..."

No sooner had the words left his lips than Hagrid felt a sinking feeling in his back, followed by the sound of a familiar voice behind him.

"No. Oh, Fish has been on your back all this time, meow." ?(●ΦωΦ●)?

Fed up, Fish reverted to his cat-person form and replied.

Then Hagrid was startled again.

"Ah!!!"

Hagrid whirled around in a panic, then came to his senses.

"Fish?"

Hagrid turned his head, trying to keep his eyes on his back.

"It's me... Good morning, Big Man." (●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish crawled up to Hagrid's shoulder, poking his little head out to greet him again and reaching out to tug at the large beard on his face.

"Ouch... you scared me to death..."

Seeing Fish's little cat-eared head, Hagrid was able to relax and sat down on the floor with a long sigh of relief.

Fish turned around and sat on Hagrid's shoulder, cocking his head to one side and asking curiously, "What were you doing, Big Man? I don't think Fish scared you very much" ?ω?

"Uh... right! It's the weekend, time for me to take you to the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid's eyes wavered for a few moments, and then he jumped to his feet in a panic and headed for the door, as if to avoid Fish's question.

But wise Fish had seen it all.

Hagrid's eyes had been wandering, but they had always looked unconsciously toward his own bed, and now he was deliberately blocking Fish's view in that direction.

Fish pulled his large hand away from Hagrid, who was pretending to scratch his head, and looked at the bed where he had been preventing him from taking a closer look.

As usual, Hagrid's bed was in disarray, except that his rag quilt had been crumpled into a ball and piled up like a mountain in the middle of the bed....

It looked like something had been stuffed in there.

"What have you got hidden in the bed, meow?!" ?(●ΦωΦ●)?

Fish jumped off Hagrid's shoulders and climbed onto the bed.

"Be careful, don't break it!" Hagrid shouted anxiously, and quickly ran to the bed.

At that moment, Fish had ripped open the quilt in a ball and pulled out a large black egg from inside.

"What a big bird's egg!" (●?﹃?●)

Fish held the black egg, which was bigger than his head, and drooled from the corner of his lips.

Then he turned angrily to look at Hagrid: "How dare you try to eat by yourself, Big Man! That's too much!"(〃｀3′〃)

"No, no, no! You can't eat this egg!"

Hagrid waved his hand, then snatched the black egg from Fish's hands and turned to protect it in his arms.

"Why no, Fish has never eaten such a big egg before, I want to try one, meow!" ?(●ΦДΦ●)?

Fish stood up on the bed, fists raised in protest to Hagrid.

"Because it's not a bird's egg, it's a dragon's egg!" Hagrid explained to Fish with a serious look on his face, "I won it from someone last night with great difficulty.... And I'm going to hatch it!"

"A dragon egg?"

Although there were no fire dragons in the Forbidden Forest, there were plenty of things related to them in the magical world, and they had to recite the twelve uses of dragon's blood as part of their Potions class.

Besides, the guy with the Big Brain kept wanting Fish to call him "Little Dragon," which is what his parents supposedly called him.

As for the fire dragon, Fish had seen it in many books, looking like a large lizard with wings, horns and spines.

Thinking of the small lizards he had hunted and the lizard eggs he had destroyed in a pot, Fish's mouth watered again.

"The taste of dragon eggs shouldn't be that bad..."(●Φ﹃Φ●).
