Chapter 408: Television Programs (Edited)

With Professor McGonagall keeping an eye on him and Hermione guiding him from time to time, Fish didn't cause any trouble in the park, but he soon won the admiration of his classmates when he encountered other children in the park.

Needless to say, the girls were unconditionally supportive of Fish, and the boys, after playing with him for a while, were all convinced, even the older ones, to listen to the cat.

Whether it was climbing trees or playing hide and seek, or any other game, Fish always learned quickly and beat everyone, and the speed, strength and skill he demonstrated quickly won over all the boys.

But Fish and Hermione didn't stay at the park for long, because after playing and winning as many games as he could, Fish's excitement began to wane and he missed the TV at home.

So after saying goodbye to their new friends, the two headed back to the Granger house the same way they had come.

Of course, the invitations and gifts from the neighbors were well received, and the sandwiches they had shared in the park were once again filled when they returned home.

"Minerva! Fish is back nya!"

?(?)?

As soon as they got home, Fish dropped the treats in his hands on the side counter and ran into the living room.

The cat then felt his neck tighten and his forward movement stopped.

This familiar feeling...

"It's Minerva nya!"

∑(?ΦДΦ?)

Fish looked back and saw Professor McGonagall emerge from the air, as the cat caught her voice and scent again.

"You're following Fish like the bad old man!"

?(? `Д′?)?

The little cat scolded angrily.

And with a withering look, Professor McGonagall retorted, "If I hadn't been following you, you'd have made quite a mess in the park right now!"

"Where's Fish causing trouble?"

(? `ω′?)

The little cat looked back at him unconvinced... and then the cat began to regret it.

Because Professor McGonagall began her terrible lecture.

Professor McGonagall began by recounting all the mistakes Fish had made on his trip, and then gave Fish a detailed analysis of the possible consequences of those mistakes, and how hard she had to work to cover them up.

"Who knows if you're telling the truth nya!"

(〃｀3′〃)

Fish said, still defiant.

"It's the sort of thing Hermione, who grew up in Muggle society, knows best." Professor McGonagall pointed to Hermione next to them, "Ask her if you don't believe me."

The cat immediately turned his attention to Hermione, who nodded helplessly at the questioning look Fish was giving her.

"Professor McGonagall is right, you demonstrated a lot of powers today that would have caused a lot of trouble among the Muggles, if it wasn't for Professor McGonagall's confusion spell and the Muggle banishment spell, we'd be in a lot of trouble right now."

"What? Minerva did all that? why didn't Fish know about it?"

(●?ω?●)?

The kitten froze at Hermione's words and scratched his head in confusion.

"You were too busy playing to notice!"

Professor McGonagall tapped the kitten on the head with a grimace and continued with her lecture.

She went on to lecture Fish on how to behave under normal circumstances when encountering Muggles, and how to remedy and correct similar mistakes if they were accidentally made.

In short, after such a long speech, Fish's face was already full of pain, if he wasn't afraid of being whipped by Professor McGonagall, Fish would have covered his ears with his hands.

Before Fish could breathe a sigh of relief when Professor McGonagall finished her rant, he heard his scolding mother say, "So the next step is to ground you, as punishment, no more TV until Jacqueline and Chris return."

"How can you do that nya?!"

∑(?ΦДΦ?)

Fish was horrified.

The cat tried to resist, but with those words, Professor McGonagall went to the classroom and grabbed a Muggle magazine and read it.

Whenever Professor McGonagall made that gesture, it meant to tell Fish that there was no need to discuss the matter, so Fish didn't bother and turned to Hermione to ask, "Hermione, when are your parents coming back?"

Hermione looked at the clock and replied, "In about an hour or so."

"Nya!"

(?≥∆≤?)

A sad expression immediately appeared on Fish's face.

He pouted and walked into the classroom with a resentful expression, then changed into his cat form and jumped onto the couch furthest away from Professor McGonagall with a slight hop.

The cat reoriented itself so that its butt was facing Professor McGonagall before plopping down and starting to sleep.

Professor McGonagall glanced at the cat's bottom before turning her attention back to the magazine in her hands, completely unfazed by Fish's childish behavior.

Hermione went upstairs to get the copy of 'Fantastic Animals and Where to Find Them' that Fish had given her, then returned to the classroom and sat down next to Fish, reading it with great interest.

About an hour later, Fish's ears twitched slightly as he slept on the couch and he turned toward the front door of the house, which was followed by the little cat jumping off the couch and regaining his human form in mid-air.

"Chris and Jacqueline are back nya!"

?(?≧?≦?)?

Fish cheered as he landed in front of the television and flipped the switch impatiently.

Professor McGonagall put down her magazine and shook her head helplessly, instead of stopping Fish from watching the television, she got up and walked toward the entrance to greet the Grangers.

The cat has a long way to go to stop being addicted to TV cartoons, but you have to take it one step at a time.

...

In the dark of night, a small cat quietly opened the door to his own room and then quietly walked out.

In the evening, although he watched TV for a while after the Grangers returned, he was soon called to dinner by Professor McGonagall, after which he was hurriedly rushed off to do his homework, which he did, but was only allowed to watch TV for two hours.

Afterwards, Professor McGonagall told him another story, but with the TV in front of him, Professor McGonagall's stories were less appealing to the cat.

After listening to the story, Professor McGonagall did not allow Fish to go for a walk, much to Fish's chagrin.

Fish tried to resist, but Mrs. Granger suddenly told him that if Fish pretended to be a Muggle in front of the other Muggles for the rest of the day, then she would take him to an amusement park with Hermione.

Unlike Professor McGonagall, who didn't know what an amusement park was, Fish had heard about it from the television, and in fact, even if Mrs. Granger hadn't told him, Fish had planned to express his desire to go at some point.

So, in order to go to the amusement park, the strong Fish decided to give up his evening activities for a while.

Only old habits and his obsession with television made Fish give up his plans to go out at night and plan to sneak away to watch TV at night.

The cat, who was always cautious when it came to planning trouble, had first put the Wild Mark on Professor McGonagall before going to bed, then had gone to his room and started improvising.

Fish remembered that mean old Dumbledore had cast a soundless spell from a distance more than once, most of the time without a wand or even silently, but occasionally in full.

Fish, after trying to recall, managed to remember the spell and how to wield the wand.

So the first thing Fish did upon returning to his room was to practice the spell.

The spell was a variation of the soundproof spell, and the relationship between the two was a bit like that between the Protego spell and the Protego Duo spell, so Fish quickly mastered the spell.

The kitten waited patiently for everyone to fall asleep before sneaking out of his room and into the living room.

"Quiet."

(●ΦωΦ●)つ━☆*.

Transforming back into his human form, Fish drew his wand and lowered his voice to a whisper.

An invisible soundless border enveloped Fish and the TV, and the kitten excitedly turned on the TV, picked up the remote control and pressed it....

"Why aren't there any cartoons anymore nya?"

(?ω?)

What the cat didn't know is that cartoons are primarily for children, so they are not broadcast at midnight, when children sleep.

During this period of time, the most broadcasted programs on TV are... all kinds of programs for adults.

"Didn't Minerva say it's impolite not to wear clothes? Why do those people on TV have to hug each other naked?"

(●?ω?●)?

Fish looked at the TV and scratched his head, confused.
