Chapter 458: As expected of a cat (Edited)

As Fish walked, his body slowly expanded, transforming from a small cat to a clouded leopard in no time.

At the same time, its four paws glowed red, leaving scorched claw marks on the cold rocky ground.

The spell [Flame Strike], which originally only had the effect of inflicting burning damage to Fish's paws, but Fish unexpectedly discovered that it could also help him slap most spells.

And the various methods of the previous twin test, many of which are also the knowledge he had recently learned, all failed in the end....

So the cat pinned his hopes on his own "natural spell".

Hermione and the others held their breath, watching Fish step by step towards Dumbledore's age line, and Professor Moody watched Fish with his magic eye, with a complex expression on his face.

Dumbledore, who was hiding off to the side, also perked up, wondering what surprise Fish would have in store for him this time.

The leopard's red, glowing paws dipped into the golden circle, and the familiar hissing sound resumed.

At the same time, Fish could clearly sense a force coming from its outstretched paws, trying to push it away.

"Roarr!"

(=`Д′=)

Fish let out a low roar.

[Ant Force] [Bull's Brute Strength] [Savage Strength].

A set of strength enhancing spells were quickly applied to his body, followed by Fish crouching down and leaning forward, fighting against the force that was trying to lift him off his feet....

However, the force was getting stronger and stronger, and Fish's body was shaking involuntarily.

"Roarr!"

(=`Д′=)

Fish roared again, his sharp claws came out of Fish's pad of flesh and sank deep into the solid ground, barely holding his body steady, but his body still trembled slightly, as if he was in danger of being lifted off his feet at any moment.

[Soft Stone Spell]

It didn't take the cat long to realize that there was no point in doing so: he wouldn't be lifted off his feet, but he wouldn't be able to move at all, and as soon as he lifted his paws, he would be forcibly thrown off.

The cat considered for a moment that his "natural spell" was useless, so he simply removed all his spells and let himself be thrown out of the circle.

The long, slender clouded leopard spun through the air and landed softly on the ground.

Once on the ground, Fish quickly transformed into his human form and pulled out his wand.

"Why doesn't Fish have a beard?"

George said indignantly, looking at Fish's smooth chin.

"Nya?"

∑(? `′?)

Fish ran his empty hand over his chin and sure enough, he didn't have a white beard like Harry's.

The cat felt that was a shame....

He had always thought that humans with big beards like Dumbledore and Hagrid were the best looking.

But no matter, he could do it himself!

Fish tucked his wand into the waistband of his pants and rubbed his cheeks with both hands....

(ノ)`′(ヾ)

?(=ΦΦ=)?

Clank~

After making a cat beard for his face, Fish took out his wand again and slowly walked around the golden line of age as he watched it closely.

Everyone was still looking at Fish nervously, even though the cat had just failed, at least he had stayed in the circle that long, and his face hadn't grown a beard either....

Well, the one Fish made himself didn't count.

In fact, there were one or two ways to get past Dumbledore's age line after the twins' round of testing, but George and Fred simply didn't have the magic and skill to make it work.

But Fish didn't know that and mistook them for the wrong way.

And although Dumbledore knew the cat had gone astray, he had no intention of reminding him that there were other ways to do it, and besides, his main purpose in setting the age line was to discourage those who weren't old enough and to encourage Fish to take the initiative to study.

Moreover, Dumbledore was eager to see if Fish was able to find the right solution to the problem, given the few methods available to him.

But what the Headmaster had forgotten was....

The cat's mind was always out of the ordinary, and though it had become a bit more normal lately thanks to Hermione, its nature hadn't changed.

If he can't pass the age line, then....

Explode it!

"Bombarda!"

(?`Д′?)つ━☆*.

"Boom!"

A white light flew out of Fish's wand and landed on the ground where the golden lines were painted.

A huge hole appeared in the floor of the hallway, and the golden line painted on it....

The golden thread painted on it had already flown with the debris to nowhere.

"Nyajajajaja! If I had known it was that easy, I wouldn't have had to read so much!".

(=`?′=)

The cat climbed into the hole and, meeting no resistance, folded its arms and laughed with glee.

Dumbledore: What a mistake! I can't believe he didn't protect the age line... but who would have thought Fish would choose to simply break the age line!

Fake Moody: This temperament of doing things without saying a word.... No wonder the Dark Lord wants to use him for himself!

Hermione: It really is Fish.

Harry and Ron: As expected of Fish.

Weasley Twins: Why did we just suffer?

Fish didn't know the inner thoughts of the crowd, he ran to the Goblet of Fire and looked carefully at this simple wooden goblet.

(=??? =)?

The cat did not rush to throw the note into the Goblet of Fire, but carefully reached out his hand, quickly touched the blue-white flame on the goblet and then quickly withdrew his hand... because, after approaching, Fish did not feel the temperature rise.

Indeed, there was no burning sensation, Fish stretched out his hand again, put his whole palm on the Goblet and shook it.

"Strange, this fire is not hot."

?(=ΦΦ=)?

The cat poked his whole head out, letting the whitish-blue flames lick his cheeks and fur.

Fish cocked his head thoughtfully, then returned to his cat form and jumped into the Goblet of Fire.

"Nya~"

(=ΦΦ=)?

A cute cat head emerged from the blue-white flames and meowed at Hermione, who was still in her black kitten form.

Hermione hesitated, but trotted over to the flaming goblet and jumped in.

Although the blue-white flames looked like nothing, it was still a novel feeling to be lying in a ball of flames, and although you also enter flames when using the Fluo Net, it was a blink of an eye, and lying in a Goblet of Fire was a very different experience.

"Ahem..." The fake Moody came back to himself and remembered, "I should have said that earlier, hurry up and go to sleep after you check in."

"Yes!" The first to respond were the twins, holding their heavy beards as they ran towards the Goblet of Fire, "Fish, get out of the way, let us throw our names out first."

"Nya..."

(???)

The cat wagged its tail in disgust, then reluctantly joined Hermione and jumped out of the Goblet of Fire.

The twins, along with Harry and Ron, who arrived behind them, quickly threw slips of paper with their names on them into the Goblet of Fire, which quickly dyed red and burst into flames, engulfing their slips of paper.

"Hermione, do you want to check in nya?"

Fish returned to his human form turned his head to the side and asked.

"I'll pass." Hermione waved her hand.

"Oh, so Fish is going to check in."

Fish reached into his pocket twice, "Oh," Hermione said.

"Oops, Fish forgot, I haven't written a note nya yet."
