"Fish's handwriting is getting prettier and prettier these days."
That day, Fish was surrounded by a group of little witches, as usual, doing their homework together, and after glancing at the contents of Fish's scroll, Sharpay, who was sitting next to him, sincerely congratulated him.
"Hehehehehe~"
(●≧?≦●)
The kitten shook his head in triumph, "That's what Minerva said too nya!".
After writing for so long, there had to be some improvement, not to mention Fish had a special advantage in body control, so his penmanship was now in the middle of the pack for his age.
If it weren't for his lack of patience when it came to writing and his habit of writing so fast, his handwriting might be even more beautiful.
"Fish, you're so cute!"
Sharpay looked at Fish, who was shaking his head, and couldn't resist hugging his head and rubbed his cheeks and his cat ears twice.
"Nyanyanya..."
?(●`Д′●)?
Fish struggled to push Sharpay away and freed herself from his arms.
"I thought we agreed not to hug Fish all at once?!"
The kitten angrily pouted and glared at Sharpay, while the other girls gave her a reproachful look.... This was not what they had discussed in private!
"Ahem..."
Sharpay cleared her throat, disguising her outburst from a moment ago, and explained, "Sorry, sorry, Fish you were just too cute at the time, I couldn't help myself."
"You say that every time..."
(〃`3′〃)
Fish grumbled and pawed at his disheveled hair, that happened from time to time, this kind of thing happened from time to time, it was so annoying!
"Fish doesn't want to be so cute anymore!"
The word "cute" was becoming a bit of a problem for Fish, as he was always getting hugged and rubbed against him out of nowhere for being too cute.
"Hahahahaha..." Sharpay and the girls around her giggled, "The words you just said are already too cute."
Sharpay couldn't hold back again and reached out her hand to pinch Fish's cheek.
"Don't you ever touch Fish again!"
(ノ)`ω′(ヾ)
Fish shielded his cheeks, glared fiercely at Sharpay and then sulked there.
"All right, all right, we won't touch you anymore."
Sharpay, who had petted the cat enough for the day, agreed, again drawing the gaze of the other witches.
But as the new Gryffindor Prefect and Prefect of Gryffindor girls, Sharpay had no problem with them.
She ignored the accusing looks around her, held back her smile, took a good look at Fish and said, "But to be honest, Fish, you're actually not as cute as you used to be...you're starting to get cute."
Since Fish had recognized himself as human during the summer, his human appearance had been growing, and now he had gone from looking a little younger than his peers to looking like a normal twelve-year-old boy, and he was also ahead of his peers in size.
He was still cute, but he was gradually getting cuter.
"Cute? Like Gilderoy nya?"
?ω?
If it had been before the attack on Mrs. Norris, Fish might have been pleased, but now his opinion of Lockhart had dropped considerably, so he didn't much like the word "handsome" Lockhart said.
"You mean Lockhart?" Sharpay bristled disdainfully, "Our Fish is much better looking than him, handsome though he is, he's useless."
The other witches echoed the sentiment, as if they wouldn't judge a book by its cover.
But Fish didn't care too much about being handsome, especially since he now had no accurate idea of what a human looked like, except that it was a compliment to his looks, just like "cute" and "pretty"....
In other words, trouble sisters, they're going to hug me when they have to.
"Ugh..."
The distressed cat sighed, thinking once again that these girls were really too much trouble.
To put herself out of doubt, Fish lowered his head and continued to write his homework haphazardly, his quill sliding quickly across the parchment, leaving strands of elegant words.
"I've finished my homework nya!"
As soon as he finished the last letter, Fish dropped the quill and jumped straight onto the desk, rolling to take the form of a small tabby cat and leaping out of the Common Room without looking back.
?(=`ω′=)?
"It's all Sharpay's fault for scaring Fish away..." complained Sharpay's best friend with a pout, "I was trying to talk to Fish."
"Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry," although Sharpay was a strong-willed person, she was fair, "I'll sit outside tomorrow and the next day after Fish does his homework, okay?"
When Sharpay, the group leader, said that, the rest of the group had no problem and began to discuss the topic of Fish's appearance.
"Seriously, Fish is going to look amazing when he grows up, he's going to be a hundred times cuter than Lockhart!" Said a little witch with her hands on her cheeks and a love-struck smile on her face.
"Don't compare our little Fish to someone like Lockhart!" another little witch took offense and corrected, "Fish is better than Lockhart."
"That's right, Lockhart couldn't even take a hit from Fish."
The other young witches agreed, as they saw no comparison between Lockhart and Fish.
Then they went back to talking about other things about Fish, even if Fish had given them a sandwich, they could talk about it and get a lot of envious looks.
...
Hermione Granger was sitting quietly in a corner, not participating in the girls' conversation, her head protected by the large book she was holding, with a smirk on her face.
Compared to the group of girls who were happy about little things, the relationship between her and Fish was much closer. Not only did they experience the battle to defend the Philosopher's Stone on the third floor last semester... even though it turned out to be fake.
This semester, they kept the secret of the multijuice potion together. Even on Sunday, when she went to the Room of Requirement to continue the potion, Fish watched her and asked her a few questions from time to time, and then they sat down for lunch....
It was the addition of Harry and Ron that upset Hermione a bit.
Fish had also promised to take her to the Forbidden Forest next Sunday, after he had gone through the steps of making the potion.
If they told her, the little witches there would weep with envy!
Hermione wrinkled her nose in disdain at Sharpay and the girls, feeling superior.... Of course, she still had the book to protect herself.
She'd seen how jealous those crazy girls could be, and she wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal herself.
One thing Hermione did agree on, however, was that Fish was getting cuter and cuter.
"Nya~"
???(=ΦДΦΦ=)???
Fish, who escaped from the Common Room, suddenly shivered and the hair on his body automatically bristled.
He had just felt a chill again that he hadn't felt in a long time, and it must have been the girls planning to rub his head again!
So of all the girls, Fish liked Hermione and Luna the best, because they didn't spend all day trying to pet him.
Ginny was also a bit more reserved, but she was usually too shy to say much, and Fish couldn't play with her.
Shaking his body to calm his bristly hair, Fish quickly put the matter behind him.
The most important thing now was to find Minerva to tell him a story and then go to the Forbidden Forest and let Shadow walk him around to lose the mean old man.
Although Fish was grateful that Dumbledore had brought him the black-footed cat's fur, he had already thanked him by letting him pet the head, and....
Who told the mean old man to secretly follow Fish?
He deserved to be walked!
