Chapter 360: Unlucky Potter (Edited)

The clouded leopard pounced on Harry's body, stomped on his back and pinned him to the ground.

Thanks to Mr. Flume's warning that the visitor might be one of the lucky students, Fish simply knocked the opponent down with his own strength and even put his claws away.

But still, Fish's strength was not something Harry could compete with, he only felt as if a bludger had hit him hard in the back, and then his whole body lunged forward.

Immediately after, his head came into close contact with the ground with a "thud".

"Ahhh!"

Harry, who fell to the ground, couldn't help but let out a scream, but it was this scream that made Fish, who was pressing down on him, recognize Harry.

Harry had been unlucky, for had he been anywhere else, Fish would have identified Harry with his keen sense of smell, but this was Honeydukes' cellar.

Not to mention the fact that they had unpacked a lot of snacks and Harry's scent had been masked by the rich sweetness of the place, which was why he hadn't been identified by Fish.

And if he hadn't been wearing his invisibility cloak, Fish's eyesight would have recognized him in the dark.

But before he entered the tunnel, it occurred to Harry that he and Fish had identified everyone in the village during the summer vacation, so it would be bad if they recognized him, so he went back to the bedroom to get his invisibility cloak....

"Wait a minute, Grandpa Ambrosius, Grandma Flume, this is Harry, not Black nya!"

?(?ΦДΦ?)?

Realizing he had jumped on the wrong person, Fish immediately jumped out of Harry's body, transforming back into his human form and shouting to the hiding Flume.

"Harry? You mean Harry Potter?"

The pair stepped out from behind the bookshelf and approached curiously, but not without their wands in their hands, after all Harry was still under the invisibility cloak and they couldn't see anyone at all.

Fish reached out and felt the floor, then lifted the invisibility cloak off Harry's body and revealing a snarling Harry Potter underneath, clutching his head.

"It's really Potter..."

Naturally, the two had seen Harry before, and only then did they put their wands away and lift him off the ground.

"Mr. and Mrs. Flume, how are you?"

Harry straightened his crooked glasses and continued to rub his red, swollen forehead as he smiled and waved.

It was a bit unfortunate to be discovered just after sneaking into Hogsmeade....

In fact, Harry was prepared to be discovered by Fish, after all, his invisibility cloak couldn't hide from Fish's hearing and smell, but Harry was sure he could convince the kitten to hide it from him, so he even thought he would go straight to Fish as soon as he got to Hogsmeade.

What he didn't expect was to be caught by Fish just as he was leaving the secret passageway, let alone the presence of other adult wizards, which was very frustrating for Harry.

"What are you doing in Hogsmeade?"

Indeed, Mr. Flume frowned at the sight of Harry and questioned in a somewhat reproachful tone, "Don't you know that Black is looking for you everywhere?"

Then his tone grew heavier, "If the patrolling Dementors find out you're not on the list of students allowed to come to Hogsmeade, they're likely to attack you, and those monsters don't care who you really are!"

A certain kitten nodded approvingly, nodding in all seriousness, "Yes, yes, Harry, you're so disobedient nya!"

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

Wordlessly he looked at Fish, Harry still wanted to fight, because he really wasn't willing.

He had gone halfway down the passageway, fallen several times and climbed hundreds of steps,

The cat gave him a beating and he had to go back to the secret passage....

What a pity!

"I can summon a physical Patronus," Harry looked at an informed Fish, and when Fish tried to knock him down again, he sped up and continued, "And I'll follow Fish all the way, the Dementors are afraid of him, and Black is no match for him. "

The kitten smiled and nodded faster.

"Yeah, yeah, Fish is awesome nya!"

(?? ω??)

It was the Flume's turn to look at Fish in disbelief, but they were surprised that Harry had been able to summon a physical Patronus.

Mr. Flume's main concern was Dementors, and as for Sirius Black, it seemed unlikely to him that he would be stupid enough to attack Harry in Hogsmeade.

Sensing Mr. Flume's hesitation, Harry immediately attacked while the iron was hot.

"Please, Mr. Flume," Harry pleaded plaintively, "It will soon be Christmas and I would like to join everyone else in Hogsmeade."

"Well..." Mr. Flume frowned.

Mrs. Flume, who was more easily softened, nudged her husband and said, "Let him go on a trip with Fish, it's not easy for the boy."

"Alright..." said Mr. Flume with a sigh, "Just this once, you must stay close to Fish, after today, I will block this secret passage."

He wasn't exactly aiming at Harry, but he was worried that Sirius Black might use the secret passage.

"Thank you! Mr. Flume! Thank you! Mrs. Flume!"

It was a shame that the secret passage was going to be blocked, but Harry was glad to be able to relax before Christmas.

"But..."

?ω?

At that moment, Fish frowned again.

"Minerva won't let Fish take you to Hogsmeade nya..."

"But you didn't bring me here," Harry coaxed with an excuse he had already thought of, "Fish, you just have to help me hide the fact that I came to Hogsmeade secretly."

"That seems to be the case... Then no problem nya!"

?(?ΦωΦ?)?

Harry very easily convinced the kitten.

"Well, Harry, you're just in time nya, come and help Fish."

After promising to keep Harry's secret, the kitten greeted him and pointed to the pile of candy scattered on the floor beside him.

"We still have over two hundred unwrapped!"

"Uh... What are you guys doing?"

Harry followed Fish over to the pile of candy and asked curiously.

"Fish is making Christmas presents for everyone nya, because Fish is making a little money, so there's only so much he can give each person nya."

Explained Fish to Harry as he quickly packed up the presents.

"Would you mind doing that? There are gifts missing."

"Of course not!" Harry shook his head vigorously, "I think the others will be happy to know you bought it with your own money."

"Hehehehehe..."

Fish smiled nervously and stroked his cat head.

"Indeed, that's exactly what Hermione said, that's great."

And so Harry Potter, after a long walk, a few falls, a few hundred steps and a bump on the head by Fish, took over from the cat....
