Chapter 191: Group fight (Edited)

Because of the Hogwarts class system, gossip travels fast in the school, not to mention the fact that it had something to do with Fish.

So after only one class period, the news that Lockhart had been knocked unconscious by Fish's punch had already spread through the school.

Contrary to Fish's fears, not only did Professor McGonagall not bother him, but the other teachers gave him a nod or a nod and a smile in class.

Fish was puzzled.

Was Gilderoy... Was he so frowned upon?

The kitten was a little confused.

Obviously, Lockhart is such a good storyteller, why does it feel like everyone doesn't like him very much?

Human relationships are too complicated for a mere kitten to understand.

Fortunately, during lunch, Gilderoy Lockhart, who had had his teeth repaired, still appeared in the Great Dining Hall, judging by his appearance, he didn't look like he was going to be dismissed from school.

"He acted as if nothing had happened?"

Ron glared at Lockhart, who was one-sidedly chatting with Professor Flitwick at the long teachers' table, and the fork in his hand landed on the table with a "clang."

Lockhart really refreshed his sense of being cheeky.

To be precise, he refreshed the cognition of every professor and student at Hogwarts except Fish.

The first weekend of the term arrived at Hogwarts with mixed feelings, and Harry and Ron were hoping to get some rest when they were awakened by Wood first thing in the morning.

"We're going to win the championship!"

That was Wood's goal for the term, and he was going to win the Quidditch Cup once again, or rather, he wanted to win it every year.

Although Harry and Ron complained a lot, they got up and went to the pitch with Wood, after all, they still liked playing Quidditch.

After they left, Neville and the others, who had been woken up by the commotion at Wood's entrance, got up, yawning, and went about their business, leaving Fish, the lazy cat, lying on his back on top of the sheets of his bunk bed, dozing.

(=φω??=)

It was almost noon when Fish woke up groggily, and flapped his ears at the sound of the noise outside, which seemed very loud.

"Nya?"

After completing his wake-up routine, Fish jumped off the top of his bed, transformed back into his human form, and ran out of his dorm.

When he reached the common room, he saw a crowd of people, surrounded by Harry and the rest of the Quidditch team, and they all looked bruised and injured.

"What's going on?"(●φωφ●)

Fish asked curiously as he ran over to Neville, who was standing outside.

"Fish?"

Neville turned around and replied indignantly, "Our Quidditch team got into a fight with Slytherin's team!"

Then, as Neville stumbled over his tale, Fish understood exactly what had happened.

In short, both teams wanted to use the Quidditch pitch for practice, and after a bit of an argument, there was a confrontation.

It was Harry and Ron who had started the fight.

Whether it was because they had fought with Malfoy before, or if they had been influenced by Fish, I didn't know, but they went at each other without wands and with their fists.

Malfoy was taken by surprise, and after Slytherin and the rest of Gryffindor reacted, they all joined the fray, causing a gang fight.

"Who won nya?"(●?ω?●)

Fish asked excitedly, he didn't expect something so interesting to happen on the Quidditch pitch, should have gone Harry.

As for the fight between the two teams, it seemed perfectly normal to Fish.

It was just a turf war, wasn't it?

It happens all the time between cats and other animals, even those in the Forbidden Forest, and they fight over territory from time to time.

Fish had seen it so many times that it wasn't that big of a deal.

"I don't think there's a winner or a loser..."

Neville said this with a guilty conscience, the Slytherin team, with the exception of Malfoy, were all great and the Gryffindor team had no advantage.

But he wasn't lying.

"And then... Professor Lockhart... came."

Neville hesitated to add the word "professor."

Even though Lockhart had lost all credibility in the eyes of the students because of Fish, and few of them believed his optimistic excuse of Dumbledore, he was still a teacher at the school anyway.

So when he stepped in to stop the fight, both parties gave Lockhart the benefit of the doubt and stopped, but Quidditch training was ruined because of this.

"Too bad nya..."

Fish sighed regretfully, then said earnestly as he applied a [Rejuvenation] spell to Wood and the others, "Next time you two fight over territory, be sure to let Fish know, I want to see the action nya."

Wood twisted the corners of his mouth and mumbled a few words.

In fact, he regretted it after the fight, this time it was Lockhart. If it was Snape, he could have suspended the entire Gryffindor team.

Still, Professor McGonagall was going to go after him as captain, and his head hurt like hell just thinking about it.

The three Chasers were unconcerned, and the wild Angelina even looked at her fingers in disinterest.

The Weasley twins, who broke school rules all the time, didn't care, but the one thing the group missed was that they seemed to have calmed down a lot lately, not even talking much and being secretive about what they did all the time.

Harry and Ron, who were the first to strike, were also in an anxious state.... They hadn't even finished their punishments at the beginning of the school year, and now they started a fight.

Just as they were getting restless, Sharpay came in and said, "Wood, Harry and Ron, Professor McGonagall wants you to go to her office."

The three people whose names were named paled in an instant and left the Common Room with heavy steps.

As expected, Professor McGonagall gave them a stern reprimand, then docked them 150 points from their own House and had Wood join Harry and Ron in their punishment for the night: cleaning the trophies in the prize room.

Fish had been punished for it last term, but in the end had managed to "earn" the privilege of using magic to clean them.

Ron and the others were not so lucky; they had to do it by hand.

In fact, Professor McGonagall is already reducing their load. With an extra Wood, Ron's workload will naturally reduce.

Harry was even worse off, having been appointed by Lockhart to help answer fan letters.

After a succession of failures caused by Fish, Lockhart had to turn his attention back to Harry Potter, his original target.

Harry, a young wizard he didn't like as much as Fish but couldn't resist, was a much better person to deal with than Fish, who looked like a fanatic but was actually very dangerous.

Lockhart had given up trying to make a name for himself among Hogwarts students, but he still had plans to use Harry Potter to make a name for himself.
