Chapter 406: Approval of the future mother-in-law (Edited)

A concerned Professor McGonagall left the room and headed downstairs.

Mrs. Granger wasn't very clear over the phone, and could only tell that the amusement park was probably a place that offered a variety of rides for children, and sold all sorts of snacks, toys, and other things.

It's just that Professor McGonagall couldn't figure out what kind of place it would be after thinking for a long time, she could only temporarily imagine it as a large-scale place similar to the combination of Zonko's joke store and Honeydukes.

But what exactly the amusement park was was none of Professor McGonagall's business, as long as she kept Fish's attention away from the television.

Professor McGonagall's concern was that, according to Mrs. Granger, there would be a lot of Muggles at the amusement park, and if Fish got in trouble there, it would take more than one or two dememorizing spells to solve the problem...so she was doubtful.

But thank goodness Fish was going out later with Hermione, so she could follow him invisibly and see if Fish behaved without giving trouble.

As she thought about it, she followed the sound of the TV into the living room, where Hermione was sitting on the couch watching some cartoons on TV, with Fish in her arms in his cat form.

"Nya~!"

?(=?ω?=)?

Noticing Professor McGonagall's arrival, Fish jumped out of Hermione's arms and pounced on her.

"Remember, it's only an hour."

Professor McGonagall smiled and nodded at Hermione as she reminded Fish.

"Nya~"

Fish agreed and continued to lie in Professor McGonagall's arms, but went back to watching the television.

Professor McGonagall didn't mind, but she was surprised by his behavior, since at lunchtime the kitten hadn't even eaten to watch TV, and now he was leaving the program and coming over to greet her.

Jacqueline was right, Fish would become less interested in TV as he got used to TV.

Professor McGonagall was a little relieved, but not entirely relaxed, because she had watched some cartoons with Fish and had asked Mrs. Granger about them, knowing that most of the TV "stories" were long and new every day.

For that reason alone it was hard enough for Fish to lose interest in television.

But there was no need to rush things, as Fish would have nowhere to watch television when he returned to Hogwarts, as long as he wasn't as addicted as he had been at lunchtime.

Professor McGonagall had only been concerned at first about Fish's unusual reaction to the television, but now that she had calmed down and reflected, it wasn't a particularly troublesome matter.

So when she saw that Hermione was absently watching cartoons and occasionally glancing at the small cat in her arms, Professor McGonagall smiled slightly and offered to pass Fish to her.

"Pro... Professor?"

Hermione picked up the cat and looked at Professor McGonagall in panic.

"I'm not really interested in this children's program, so you can watch it yourselves." Professor McGonagall patted Fish on the head, "Remember to turn off the TV when it's time and don't use spells when you're out, listen to Hermione."

"Nya~"

(=?ω?=)

Whether Professor McGonagall was handing him to Hermione or rubbing his cat head while giving her instructions, the kitten's eyes were fixed on the television, and he only gave Professor McGonagall a perfunctory meow.

Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes wordlessly, didn't bother with the TV-obsessed kitten, and turned to leave the room....

Then, a few minutes later, she blocked out its sound and smell and returned with an invisibility charm.

Of course, the main reason is to follow a little cat who is good at causing trouble, and besides....

Professor McGonagall enjoys watching Muggle cartoons, especially those related to magic,

As she watched them, Professor McGonagall thought about what a real wizard would have to do to achieve the effects of the imaginary spells in the cartoons.

This was not only interesting, but also because Professor McGonagall had discovered that some of the magic conjured by Muggles was actually quite powerful, and that if she recreated it, she could use it in the future when challenged by one of her opponents.

Professor McGonagall stayed tucked away watching the cartoons with the two youngsters for half an hour or so, while Fish kept her word and turned off the television when the time was up....

Professor McGonagall was a bit surprised, as she expected Fish to be a while.

As it turned out, Fish behaved well this time, which pleased Professor McGonagall, but also disappointed her a little, she wanted to see how Hermione would handle this situation.

But it didn't matter, they were both going out later, so there was plenty of time to observe.

Professor McGonagall followed Hermione and Fish, who had returned to his human form, out of the Granger house.

It was clear that the Granger family was well liked in the neighborhood, and as Hermione and Fish walked, every neighbor they passed greeted her cordially and asked about her parents, to which Hermione responded politely.

Only after a few words did the greetings turn to Fish, who was standing next to Hermione.

"Who is this lovely boy?"

He was the seventh person to ask since Hermione and Fish had left Granger House.

"He's a classmate of mine from Rugby Public School and the son of my teacher, Fish McGonagall, my parents invited them to our house just for the summer vacations."

Hermione repeated her introduction to Fish deftly, the Rugby Public School she was referring to was the school the Granger's claimed Hermione attended, and she basically wasn't lying except for the name of the school.

"Hello nya!"

(?ΦωΦ?)?

Fish greeted everyone he encountered with enthusiasm.

Of course, the cat, with his affinity, also received a warm response from everyone.

After declining a neighbor's affectionate invitation for the umpteenth time, Hermione finally led Fish out of her neighborhood, rubbing her cheeks hard as Hermione's face froze trying to keep her smile on for the short ride.

"Hermione, where are we going now?"

Fish looked around excitedly, carrying a large bag of snacks he had just acquired from the neighbors.

"Are we going to wander around the neighborhood and pick up everyone else's gifts?"

He asked, lifting the bag he was carrying in his hand.

Hermione waved her hand, "No, no, no."

If she hadn't stopped him a moment ago, Fish would have been in the habit of stuffing his snacks into his magic bag, so it was best to stay away from the enthusiastic neighbors.

"Let's go that way." said Hermione, pointing to the northwest, "There's a park not far from there, lots of children like to play there."

Fish's manner was a bit more unusual than wizarding, let alone among Muggles, and several of the neighbors had sensed something was wrong a moment ago, but Hermione's wit and Fish's affinity had fooled them.

It was safer to let Fish play with children less sensitive to the situation than to approach adults who would easily sense discomfort.

The hidden Professor McGonagall nodded, Hermione's response had been good and she was becoming more and more comfortable with Hermione as her "future daughter-in-law".
