Chapter 328: Gryffindor's great plan (Edited)

"Go on, wait until Professor McGonagall gets here, then you can have your cake and eat it."

Sharpay smiled and patted the little Slytherin on the head, then urged, "Go get changed, you and Professor McGonagall are the stars of the show tonight."

"Oh! Yes."

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Only then did the little cat come to his senses, wipe the drool from the corners of his mouth, run back to the dormitory, change into a fancy new wizard robe, and then quickly return to the common room.

"Wow, you look really handsome in that outfit, Fish!".

A young witch quickly approached, complimenting Fish.

"Hehehehehehe..." the kitten raised her head in triumph, "Aunt Estella gave it to Fish nya! There's plenty more in Fish's house."

(●`?′●)

Fish was pleased for a while, and then he was drawn in by the children's screams.

"Ohhh! I really can't move."

Fred gave George a firm pinch and, finding that he was still under the petrification spell, joined the others in exclaiming.

And right in front of George, a small, fierce-looking green snake lay lazily there, its green eyes also staring at George, faintly revealing the look of a fool.

Percy turned George's head to one side with a frown, and slowly recovered himself.

"Fred! How can you be so heartless?!"

George shouted as soon as he could move, rubbing the spot where his twin brother had pinched him, grimacing and pouncing on Fred for an explanation,

The twins quickly fought each other as a group of boys laughed and cheered them on, and as the twins fought, they threw their arms around each other's shoulders and laughed with everyone else.

"What are you laughing at?"

?ω?

Fish, who had been attracted by the noise, pushed his way through the crowd and asked curiously.

"Fish, is this the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets?"

The twins approached him eagerly, pointing to the basilisk on the table and asking in unison.

"Yes..." nodded Fish, before remembering in retrospect, "Oh no nya! Minerva had said she wouldn't let Fish take Uroboros to a crowded place."

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

"Caw~"

Fawkes, who had returned to his original size, landed in front of Fish, touched his cheek with his beak, then grabbed the basilisk lying on the table and disappeared with it in the blink of an eye.

"Huh? where's Fawkes and the basilisk? why did they disappear?"

"Fawkes took Uroboros to Albus' office first, and they weren't interested in the birthday party, so they won't be back."

Fish's answer made the boys, especially the twins, feel regret.....

Basilisk! They had faced the legendary basilisk. If they told the others, wouldn't they have something to brag about?

Especially if the Slytherins found out, they would be envious to death!

But alas, not only could they not see the basilisk now, but Fish wouldn't let them tell anyone.

"Can't we say you've shown the two of us alone?"

The twins still not giving up, bargained with Fish and asked.

"No nya!"

(`ω′′≡`ω′)

The kitten purred and shook his head.

"Minerva will be angry, and then Aunt Molly will have to send you screaming letters again nya."

Percy came in and said, "Don't ever try to convince Fish again!"

His words were met with unanimous approval from the girls.

The twins took one look at the girls staring at them and backed away not daring to get angry or speak.

...

"Minerva, have you gone to bed?"

Dumbledore knocked on Professor McGonagall's office door just as Fish and the others were making a scene in the common room.

"Albus? what do you want with me at this hour?"

Professor McGonagall opened the door, still dressed in her day wizard robes and obviously not yet rested.

"The thing is," Dumbledore explained with a soft smile, "I've been thinking a lot about how those Dementors probably aren't going to be able to defend themselves against Sirius Black, so I'm going to do some extra preparation in the Gryffindor common room."

He turned to the side and invited Professor McGonagall, "Even though I'm the Headmaster, I thought it would be good to inform you of this entrance into the Gryffindor common room, and you also need to know about my situation there."

Although Professor McGonagall thought that the chances of Sirius Black actually invading Hogwarts Castle were very low, Dumbledore was right: he escaped from Azkaban, heavily guarded, and she shouldn't risk it.

It's just that she felt the situation was a bit strange, why did Dumbledore suddenly approach her at this time? Besides, he looked a bit anxious.

Professor McGonagall thought again, Sirius Black could come and attack Harry Potter at any time, this sort of thing should happen sooner rather than later, it was normal for Dumbledore to do this, and it would be easier for them to make preparations at this time of night, when everyone was asleep.

But there was one more question...

"What are you going to do about it?"

It wasn't that there weren't warning spells, there were plenty of them, it was just that the Gryffindor dormitories were such a crowded place that the only way to control them was to put an ID print on each student....

But obviously this approach was unrealistic.

"Oh, I have my ways, naturally."

Dumbledore winked at him playfully, without responding directly.

Out of trust in Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall asked no further questions, nodded and left the office, closing the door behind her with the back of her hand.

"You're right, let's go now..." reminded Professor McGonagall as she walked towards the Gryffindor dormitory, "And we'd better hurry in case Fish catches us when he comes back."

She couldn't help but quicken her pace as she thought of all the uncontrollable circumstances that could arise if she tripped over the little cat.

"You worry too much, Minerva," Dumbledore said with a smile as he silently sent a message to Comey to inform Fish, "Even if Fish does run into him, it's no big deal, he's actually quite good."

Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes, not bothering to pay attention to him.

The Fat Lady at the portrait looked a little surprised to see Professor McGonagall, but Professor McGonagall didn't think anything of it, she thought she and Dumbledore had surprised the Fat Lady by arriving so late.

"Minerva and I need to go into the Gryffindor common room for something." interrupted Dumbledore, just in case.

The Fat Lady hesitated for a moment, but replied, "Even the Headmaster and Headmistress would need a password to let you in."

"Of course."

Dumbledore said with a smile, then looked at Professor McGonagall beside him.

As Dean of Gryffindor, Professor McGonagall was no stranger to the password to enter the common room, and when the Fat Lady revealed the hole in the wall behind her, Dumbledore darted ahead.

Professor McGonagall couldn't help but frown at Dumbledore's ungentlemanly behavior, but said no more and continued.

"Albus, why don't you turn on the light?"

Professor McGonagall asked, puzzled as she emerged from the hole in the wall and found that it was still dark inside and that Dumbledore, who had entered before her, was nowhere to be seen.

Normally, there would be four lamps in the corner of the common room.

Despite the confusion, Professor McGonagall didn't think much of it, after all, in the Gryffindor common room at Hogwarts, a silent attack on her and Dumbledore was something...that even Voldemort wouldn't dare think of.

However, Professor McGonagall's question went unanswered.

"Albus, are you there?"

Professor McGonagall frowned and asked again, but still received no answer.

Just as she was about to pull out her wand and use a light spell (Lumos) to see what was going on, the darkened common room suddenly lit up and Professor McGonagall squinted at the sudden brightness.

In Professor McGonagall's blurry vision, a familiar figure rushed over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Minerva! Happy birthday nya!"
