Chapter 261: That's an insult to the kitty (Edited)

"Fish, wake up... Fish! Wake up!"

After sleeping for who knows how long, the kitten, curled up on the trophy, was awakened by Voldemort's call from all directions.

"Nya?"

(=Φω??=)

The kitten rolled over in his trophy and rubbed his dazed eyes with his little paws.

"Fish, come to the basement, the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets is about to appear!"

Voldemort's anxious voice rang out again.

(=`Д′=)

Yawning with his mouth open, the little cat lying on his back on the trophy stretched his limbs and gave a big stretch before jumping up leisurely, shaking his body and letting his messy fur recover a bit....

Fish sat down on the ground, ignoring Voldemort's insistence, and began licking his paws and rubbing his paws all over his head.

Although he had been prepared for Fish's catlike personality, seeing what was happening before him made Voldemort's lungs nearly explode.

He had spent so much time talking to this little wizard, listening to him talk about boring, inexplicable things, and occasionally echoing his words.

After all this effort, wasn't it to make Fish trust him, and then use the memory of the Chamber of Secrets to pierce his mind step by step, to make him feel negative emotions, and thus absorb his life force and power?

As a result, the Dark Lord's perfect plan went through countless difficulties and finally got off to a good start, but due to the carefree style of a certain kitten, seeing that he was about to fail again, how could he not get angry?

The most frustrating thing for Voldemort was that he still couldn't show his anger, instead he had to charm Fish into rushing to see his capture of the "Heir of Slytherin".

Voldemort's frustration grew as he watched Fish wash his face and lay on the ground, arching his neck and licking his fur.

Although he can later describe the scene in words, seeing it with his own eyes was not the same as describing it in words,

This is very detrimental to his plan to take Fish's power later.

Then Voldemort urged again, "Please hurry to the basement, this memory will not last long."

"Nya?"

At Voldemort's words, Fish stopped moving and raised his furry little head....

"Nyanyanya!"

"I don't understand what you're saying!"

By now Voldemort was on the verge of exploding, his tone was becoming vicious, but he quickly adjusted himself and immediately lowered his tone again, saying "Sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry, because this memory really won't last long."

"You're lying nya!"

(●`ω′●)

Fish kept raising his head in his cat person form, looking up at the ceiling with a snarl, and said to Voldemort, who was nowhere to be seen, "Fish has used Albus' Pensive many times, this memory can stay there forever nya!"

When you watch a memory in the Pensive, if you don't want to leave it, when the memory ends, all the characters that appear in it disappear, leaving only the scene, and then, depending on the thoughts of the person in it, it switches to the next memory, or plays again.

If the owner of the memory is also present, there is even more to do, speed up, rewind, pause... all of which Fish has seen Dumbledore use.

Then the well-informed little cat said, "Fish is smart, don't try to fool the cat.

But Voldemort could not be bothered by such a trivial matter, he not only immediately thought of an excuse, but also borrowed Fish's words in the process.

"I'm not lying, if it was before, you could stay as long as you wanted, but a while ago, someone tried to destroy the diary and lost much of the power that kept the memories alive, so it won't last long."

Voldemort's statement, in his frail voice, sounded very believable.

"I see..."

?ω?

Fish blinked his big, innocent eyes, stopped arguing with Voldemort and ran down the stairs.

If he guessed correctly, the person the other party said wanted to destroy the diary should be himself.

Seeing that Fish did not react with any confusion and ran down to the basement, completely out of character for a kitten, the wily Voldemort immediately guessed who the person was who had tried to destroy the diary.

Having found the culprit, Voldemort hated him so much that he would have tormented the pesky little man if he could....

It's just that he has very little power left now, and he still needs to steal Fish's life force, so not only can he not punish a certain kitten, but he has to keep smiling at him.

I'll torture him when I've recovered!

Voldemort could only console himself with this.

Fish had no idea what was going through Voldemort's mind as he ran back to the Potions classroom.

By then Riddle had left the room, tiptoeing as if following someone.

Fish quickly caught up to Riddle and overtook him, running up to the man he was following.

The surroundings were dim, but dark enough for the cat, but Fish couldn't see the man's face, it was foggy and blurry.

But still, Fish could guess his identity by his size.

"Hagrid?"

∑(●ΦДΦ●)

Looking at the blurry face of the big man in front of him, Fish was a bit stunned, but he hadn't expected Riddle, who was probably Voldemort, to try to blame Hagrid.

Fish knew that Hagrid had been expelled from Hogwarts, but he didn't know why.

Now, it seems that Riddle was the one who set him up, but....

Wasn't the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets said to be the heir of Slytherin? Hagrid is a Gryffindor. How did Grandfather Armando believe in Riddle's loophole-filled trap?

The kitten was puzzled.

Just as Fish was puzzled, the memory of Riddle spoke to the big man, and when they came face to face, the big man's blurry face became clear.... It was, indeed, Hagrid.

Riddle and Hagrid then argued, and a creature very familiar to Fish jumped out of the door behind Hagrid, knocked Riddle down, and fled.

(?ω?)

Fish watched with a deadpan expression as the Acromantula, which was no larger than his clouded leopard form, walked away, feeling as if his intelligence had been insulted by Voldemort....

Even without Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall's warning that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was Uroboros, it was impossible for Fish to believe that such a large and obviously immature spider could be the supposed monster in the chamber.

Not to mention the fact that Hagrid was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets....

This Voldemort...

Do you think Fish is easy to fool?

(●`ω′●)

The little cat wrinkled his nose, feeling uncomfortable at being underestimated.

As the young Acromantula fled, Riddle attempted to chase after her with wand held high, only to have the young Hagrid pounce on him from behind.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar feeling of dizziness came over Fish.

When he regained consciousness, he was back in the Room of Requirement, with the black diary on the marble table, open to the June 13 page.

"I'm going to find Hagrid!"

Not forgetting the need to keep Voldemort at bay, Fish wrote these words and then slammed the diary shut.

"Snap!"

After closing the diary, Fish didn't rush off to find Dumbledore, but instead walked away to make sure Voldemort didn't jump out and start a fire before grabbing it and running out of the Room of Requirement.

?(●-`ω′-)?
