Chapter 75: A world where only twins are the target (Edited)

"Impossible!"

Inside the Transfiguration teacher's office, the owner of the office, Minerva McGonagall, was furious.

"I will not accept that!" shouted Professor McGonagall, glaring like an angry lion at Dumbledore, who was grinning in front of her.

In order for Fish to go on a weekend trip to the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid, Dumbledore had to get permission from his mother, Minerva.

But as things stood, it was clear that Professor McGonagall was not going to repay her and Hagrid's promise.

"Calm down, Minerva," Dumbledore patiently reassured Professor McGonagall, "you're too nervous, Fish will be safe."

"Safe?! Have you gone mad? Albus?!"

Apparently Professor McGonagall couldn't calm down for the moment, and banged her desk loudly. "You don't know how dangerous the Forbidden Forest is!"

"And you don't know how special Fish's affinity is." Dumbledore put his hands to his chest and clasped them twice in front of him, "I don't think the animals in the Forbidden Forest will actively harm him, and besides, Hagrid will be keeping an eye on him!"

"But... Fish has had difficulty being obedient..."

In addition to safety, Professor McGonagall was worried that Fish would go wild if he mixed with the animals in the Forbidden Forest.

"Even in the castle, doesn't Fish often go to play with the owls?" When Professor McGonagall's tone finally relaxed, Dumbledore continued to insist, "As long as we control the weather, I think we'll be fine, and there are intelligent creatures like Centaurs in the Forbidden Forest."

Dumbledore, who already saw Fish as his successor, had his own ideas, Fish had demonstrated his special ability to socialize with other creatures, so he should take advantage of this as soon as possible.

"Don't you think Fish is very suitable to be a teacher of magical creature protection in the future? It would be a good idea to train him in that area while he is young," Dumbledore said.

"No! I think Fish has more talent for Transfiguration!" Professor McGonagall was almost convinced by Dumbledore, but when he spoke of Fish's future plans, Professor McGonagall was no longer convinced.

She wanted Fish to follow in her footsteps!

As a natural animagus, it would be a waste not to study Transfiguration.

"Let Fish make his own decisions when he knows more," Dumbledore did not argue with Professor McGonagall on the subject, "but for now, I think you can let Fish have a better chance.... "

Seeing that Professor McGonagall looked thoughtful, Dumbledore took advantage of the situation and said, "Fish is a very special boy and we can't teach him in the usual way."

Professor McGonagall lowered her head and thought silently for a long moment before nodding, "Fine, but you must make Hagrid promise not to put Fish in contact with the more dangerous creatures... "After a pause, she added, "Only those below the level of XXX in the magic section category."

After all, to Hagrid, even an Acromantula is a cutie in his eyes, and it was impossible not to give a clear standard.

"Yes, I'll tell him your words" Dumbledore was slightly relieved that he had finally convinced Professor McGonagall.

If Professor McGonagall hadn't agreed, he would have had to appease Fish with something else first, like the Mirror of Erised that was meant for Harry Potter, the savior.

...

On Saturday morning, the young wizards of Hogwarts were surprised to find that Fish, the lazy cat, had not stayed in bed this weekend and had sat down at the Great Dining Room table first thing in the morning to gorge himself on breakfast.

Only this morning, instead of sitting at the long Gryffindor table, Fish sat with Professor McGonagall again.

The two didn't have the same bonding session as last time, with Fish quickly stirring the food on his plate as Professor McGonagall murmured something to her.

"I know, I know, you're so nosy, Minerva..."(●Φ~Φ●).

With food in his mouth, Fish mumbled something incoherent, as to what Professor McGonagall had just explained....

I don't know about that sort of thing~

"I'm full, meow!" ?(●Φ~Φ●)?

Before he could swallow the food in his mouth, Fish threw the fork in his hand and ran away.

But he was dragged away by Professor McGonagall.

"No hurry!"

Professor McGonagall slipped her arm under Fish's armpit, scooped him up in her arms, pulled a handkerchief with copious cat paw prints from her coat pocket, and firmly wiped Fish's oily mouth before releasing him and patting his bottom. "Now, get back before dinner!".

"Got it meow!" said Fish.

As soon as he was out of Professor McGonagall's reach, Fish leapt out the door without looking back, quickly regaining his original form as he ran and growing to a size of half a meter.

In terms of running speed, the feline form was faster, and Fish had added several speed enhancers to himself.

[Stride] [Freedom of Movement] [Fast Run].

All the young mages felt was a flash of light before their eyes, and Fish disappeared in front of them.

"Hey, where's Fish going?"

The Gryffindor wizards immediately approached Ron, who was in the same dormitory as Fish, and asked him curiously.

"I heard from Fish that Hagrid is taking him to the Forbidden Forest." Ron took a bite of his potato and replied indignantly, "Harry and I wanted to join in, but Hagrid wouldn't let us!"

"Of course you did, the Forbidden Forest is no place to go, Hagrid was right not to let you go, and don't even think about sneaking into the Forbidden Forest." Fred flinched as if remembering something, and patted his brother on the head in a rare moment of seriousness.

"I mean, Fish's situation is special, so the teachers will let him in..." George, on the other side, sighed, again overcome with envy at the natural animagus' status, "But still, he still needs Hagrid to keep an eye on him, you must know how dangerous the Forbidden Forest is, right? Red-headed No. 4."

The twins' unusually serious nature made the Gryffindor audience feel a little unreal, and for a moment the long table fell silent.

It was Percy, the Prefect, who was the first to react, shouting at the twins, "Have you two been skulking around the Forbidden Forest? I'm going to tell Mum."

"Oh, Merlin's bloody moustache!" Fred twisted the corners of his lips, "That was two years ago, so get over it No. 1, Charlie's already told us off severely!"

As probably the most active mischievous pair at Hogwarts in the last ten years (with the exception of Fish), the twins naturally didn't miss out on the fun of exploring the Forbidden Forest, they had already tried to sneak into it in their first year ...

They were chased by the animals in the Forbidden Forest and managed to escape with the help of the Centaurs.

Even Hagrid didn't know about it, and they only told their second brother, Charlie, who was still at school at the time.

"Two years ago... Wasn't that when you started school?" Percy, who had just heard the news, was so frightened that his lips had lost their color and he looked like he was going to faint at any moment.

The others, especially the new Gryffindors, were once again reminded of how anarchic the Weasley twins were in their daily lives.

"So... even without Fish, with George and Fred, we don't really have a chance of winning the House Cup, do we?"

Gryffindor's Parvati Patil suddenly changed the topic of conversation and started blaming the twins for whatever Fish did.

Although everyone knew that no one could blame Fish, when it came to House points, there was always an unconscious tendency to make excuses for him, and the Weasley twins were the perfect target.

George and Fred took it in stride.

Isn't it just being a target for complaints?

We're used to it.
