Chapter 141: Every time you see the moon, you will think of me (Edited)

The fire continued to spread frantically, but Fish, who was fleeing, gradually slowed down.

The screams of countless animals and plants devoured by the flames before dying echoed in Fish's mind, causing him to involuntarily stop.

Fish turned his head and looked at the fierce fire that turned into several flame monsters and roared into the Forbidden Forest.

At the same time, a huge fire dragon was spreading its wings and swooping toward Fish.

At that moment, Fish had already lost his clouded leopard form and had returned to his original silver-gray kitten form, but he didn't move a muscle, his green eyes staring at the fire dragon that was pouncing on him.

Then...

"Meow~~"

The tiny cat let out a long, childish, clear, high-pitched meow at the moon, which was already obscured by smoke and flames.

The animals running in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid, who was carrying a huge bucket of water, and even Voldemort, who had secretly possessed a mouse and was about to burrow into the ground to escape the fire, found at that moment....

In the sky, the moon was in full bloom.

The cool, watery moonlight eclipsed the fierce flames of the Forbidden Forest, and the entire Forbidden Forest, as well as Hogwarts Castle and the Black Lake, were shrouded in a layer of faint white light.

Immediately afterwards, rain mixed with moonlight fell from the sky, obviously it was only a drizzle, but it smothered the monstrous fire that had already formed in the Forbidden Forest.

The countless monsters that had been created by the flames instantly disintegrated into ordinary flames, which quickly dwindled and disappeared in a puff of blue smoke.

The flames that had illuminated Hogwarts castle disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the moon in the sky with its soft white light and the raindrops with their countless white dots.

"Meow~~"

Fish's long meow continued.

After the moonlight rain had extinguished the fire in the forest, it continued to nourish the earth that had just been destroyed by the fire, and grass sprouted and grew from the scorched earth as quickly as sight could see.

In a short time, the land, which had been covered with ash and charcoal, was once again covered with green.

"This... is the child of nature..."

Bane and the rest of the centaurs bathed in the fine but continuous rain, and sighed from the bottom sincerely.

"Tonight's moon, the best astrological sign I've ever seen."

Ronan gave a paw with some excitement, but stopped immediately because he felt it would disturb everything, and looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, letting the rain fall on his face.

Just like the centaurs, countless creatures of the Forbidden Forest stood silently in the same spot, gazing at the moon, and the creatures of the Black Lake emerged from the water, enjoying the blessings of the strange rain.

"Meow~~"

The Forbidden Forest, which had become noisy due to the fire, regained its quietness again, except for Fish's long meowing, which constantly reverberated under the night sky.

As time passed, the shower of moonlight gradually stopped and the moon returned to its original form, the creatures that had been quietly enjoying it all came back to their senses.

The centaurs, with smiles of satisfaction on their faces, walked silently again, Kanaloa and the mermaids and other inhabitants of the Black Lake sank back to the bottom of the lake, and the creatures of the Forbidden Forest that had fled in all directions also calmed down and returned to their nests.

Only the creatures who knew what had happened, such as Shadow and Lochlin, turned to Fish after they regained their senses.

Hagrid, who was holding a bucket, woke up groggily, looked up at the Forbidden Forest, which was safe and sound, and scratched his head, looking a little overwhelmed.

It took him a while to react, he dropped the bucket and ran towards the castle, wanting to inform Dumbledore.

"Don't bother, Hagrid, I'm already here."

Dumbledore emerged from the nearby tree, stopping Hagrid who wanted to report.

"What a refreshing and beautiful rain, isn't it?"

His blue eyes looked deep into the Forbidden Forest with a gleam of surprise.

"Do you know what this rain is all about, Dumbledore?" asked Hagrid curiously, after first nodding at his assertion.

"I'm not sure, Hagrid," replied Dumbledore with a smile, "So I'm going to check the Forbidden Forest now, and leave the patrolling job tonight to me."

With that, and without waiting for Hagrid's reply, he plunged into the forest once more, heading in the direction of Fish's location.

Hagrid scratched his head again, a little confused by the situation, and just ignored the complications and called Fang back to bed.

After the strange rain, he was sure he would get a good night's sleep tonight.

"Fish... McGonagall?"

The Dark Lord, who had possessed a rat, felt his wounds partially healed by the rain and finally began to look at the "natural born Animagus" who had continually ruined his plans.

"A natural Animagus? Ha! Dumbledore is as deceitful as ever... interesting."

Although there was no hope of obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort felt it was no great loss to discover the special little wizard named Fish.

It was a pity that Dumbledore had already reached the Forbidden Forest, so no matter how he tried to capture Fish or join his side directly, he could only give up now.

Voldemort looked deeply in Fish's direction, then controlled the mouse, which was possessed by him, into the bushes and escaped.

Fish, who had done all this, was now completely unconscious and fell gently to the ground.

Lochlin and Shadow were the first to arrive, and rushed to Fish's side, cautiously laying their heads on his body.

"Prrrrrrrrrrrr~ Prrrrrrrrrrrr~ Prrrrrrrrrr~"

Fish, lying on the ground, let out a low purr, sleeping soundly.

Lochlin and Shadow breathed a sigh of relief, and the two "horses", black and white, stayed by Fish's side, protecting him.

After a while, Shadow's clan members and some other flying creatures also came here, and they all made no sound, just silently protecting Fish.

After a few moments, a small noise was heard in the bushes, and the animals protecting Fish looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard coming out of the forest.

Even for Dumbledore, being watched by a group of at least XXX magical creatures was stressful.

He smiled dryly, then bowed slightly to Lochlin and them, showing his kindness.

"Good evening everyone, so can I have that little one? It's not right for students not to sleep in their dormitories." asked Dumbledore in a soft voice, pointing to Fish, who was sleeping soundly on the floor.

Some of the creatures in the Forbidden Forest who did not know Dumbledore immediately took an aggressive stance, especially Lochlin, who had just survived Voldemort's attack and was now very wary of human wizards.

The Thestrals, for their part, knew Dumbledore, and in addition to helping pull the carriages at the beginning of the term, Dumbledore occasionally chose them as his mounts when he went on trips and didn't want to use the Enchantment (Apparition) or the Flux Dust.

So at the gesture from Shadow and his, Lochlin and other creatures who had never seen Dumbledore let their guard down a bit and slowly backed up a few steps.

"Thank you very much."

Dumbledore bowed once more to the creatures of the Forbidden Forest and then, lowering his scrutinizing eyes, walked neither too fast nor too slow to Fish's side and gently lifted him up.

The sleeping Fish did not wake as usual, he simply twisted and turned to make himself more comfortable in Dumbledore's arms and went back to sleep.

Dumbledore nodded to the Lochlin and led Fish, step by step, out of the Forbidden Forest.
