Chapter 221: English Gentleman (Edited)

"I told you, I should have bought Knockturn Alley earlier!"

On the board, a pawn in blue wizard robes was complaining loudly to Dumbledore, who had just been charged a large sum of money by the wizard in yellow as he passed through the Knockturn Alley area.

Dumbledore smiled and did not speak, but rolled the dice in his hand again.

"Excellent! That's a point!"

The red pawn rejoiced, advanced one square without waiting for Dumbledore to make a move, and then shouted loudly at Dumbledore, "I want to buy Thorn Leaf Road! This way, this area will be all mine!"

The other colored pieces let out a sigh of disgust.

"You cheated for him? why is the red pawn's luck so good?!" the blue pawn shouted at Dumbledore again, "Don't forget that I am the piece that represents you!".

"I don't cheat, didn't we win last time?" Dumbledore replied with a smile, "Let's just say the red pawn got too lucky today."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's my turn, roll the dice!"

The green pawn urged him sharply, and Dumbledore also picked up the dice and threw them.

What he is playing now is, naturally, the magical monopoly developed by the twins.

Like magical chess, the Monopoly pieces have their own ideas, so even if Dumbledore is alone, he can still have a good time....

All he has to do is control one of the pieces, while the others move his way, and help roll the dice.

Of course, with the twins' skills, they couldn't make the pieces that clever, and Dumbledore could only play this way because he had bought the board and upgraded it himself.

With Dumbledore's improvements, the pieces in the Monopoly game became much smarter than the pieces the twins had made before, which could simply express emotions and not tell the player what to do.

I don't know if it's because the twins have made the pieces, but they've gotten smarter, they've gotten a little more unruly, and they like to use props to hurt people.

Still, it's fun to play alone, because, unlike magic chess, it requires no skill and is a mere matter of luck.

So, even if the pieces moved the way they wanted, they could be evenly matched, instead of being killed by Dumbledore in three moves, as in magical chess.

Only now Dumbledore is a bit distracted...

According to his past experience, Fish should have finished his homework by now and run to Professor McGonagall to hear a story, but he waited outside the corridor on the seventh floor for so long and didn't see the kitten figure.

Although he was a bit puzzled, Dumbledore didn't suspect too much, thinking that Fish had stayed in the Common Room.

Because Fish sometimes preferred to stay in the Common Room and play with the other students instead of wandering around, especially when the weather turned colder and he spent most of his time in the Common Room by the fire.

Although it's not freezing or snowing yet, the temperature is quite low, so it's not unusual for Fish not to go out.

Also, he has been following Fish lately and Fish has not been able to find a solution, and it is possible that he has stayed in the Common Room thinking about a solution.

As for the House Elves sending Fish, Dumbledore wasn't worried about that either, as all the House Elves, except Comey, who had "defected," still took Dumbledore's orders as their top priority.

As soon as Comey made a move, a house elf would come to inform him.

Fish knew about this too, because he had used this method before, and Dumbledore soon caught him.

And those elves didn't keep it from Fish, there was no need for him to ask, when Comey sent him out of the Common Room, other elves came to tell him, they had already told Dumbledore.

So after leaving Myrtle's bathroom, Fish remained invisible, and instead of going to the kitchen to replenish his food, he wandered around the castle.

He wanted to see if, being invisible, he could track down Mrs. Norris's attacker.

All to no avail, of course, as Fish wandered around the castle several times, but apart from a patrolling professor and Filch, who was hovering on the third floor, he saw no one else....

Oh yes, there was also a Dumbledore, also invisible, playing Monopoly in the seventh floor corridor while waiting for the cat.

After confirming that there was nothing to gain tonight, Fish still didn't decide to let Comey send him back to the Common Room, nor did he directly use the password to get past the Fat Lady.... After all, Dumbledore was in the corridor outside, so he would definitely be discovered.

Even if Harry stopped lending his invisibility cloak, Fish didn't want to reveal that he had escaped.

Not that he was thinking about Harry, but if he did, it was very likely that Dumbledore would tell Professor McGonagall.

Fish didn't want to get caught and interrogated by the annoying Minerva.

So when he found Dumbledore still guarding the corridor outside the entrance to the Common Room, Fish turned the corner and headed for the Room of Requirement, where he found a decent cat's nest and went to sleep.

...

"Here, your invisibility cloak nya."

(●φωφ●)つ

On Saturday morning, Fish went back to the dormitory and returned the invisibility cloak to Harry.

"May I ask, where did you go last night?"

Harry took the invisibility cloak, put it back in the box and asked cautiously.

"Fish went to investigate the Chamber of Secrets, but unfortunately he didn't find anything..."

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

Speaking of this matter, the kitten's ears immediately drooped and its beautiful eyebrows also furrowed.

This feeling of wanting to avenge a friend, but not being able to find the culprit, is really bad.

"Enough of that nya!"

Fish shook his head, putting this troublesome matter aside.

"After breakfast, wait for me, I'm going to go listen to a fairy tale in Minerva's office. Fish is going to the Forbidden Forest for some fun, and lunch at the Centaur Tribe. Harry, you said you wanted to go with me, right nya? You shouldn't have anything else to do this noon, should you?"

Fish would never forget the weekend trip to the Forbidden Forest, and yesterday he promised to take Harry to play with the Centaurs. In addition, he would also ask other animals in the Forbidden Forest to help him try to destroy the diary.

Harry also remembered Fish's promise to him yesterday and his face instantly turned red.

"Yes..."

Despite the heat on his face, Harry nodded and replied gently but firmly.

He just likes centaur food, not like Fish said he wants to see female centaurs like Korra!

He, Harry Potter, was going to prove to Fish today that he was a traditional and elegant English gentleman.
