Chapter 461: Double ponytail (Edited)

"Mmm... so much food..."

After breakfast, Gabrielle slumped in her seat with a bulging belly, grimacing.

Hermione said dumbfounded, "I told you not to eat so much..."

I don't know what this girl was thinking, she saw Fish eating something, and she had to eat it too, but can the cat's eating ability compare to that of ordinary people? Probably only Hagrid has a bigger appetite than Fish in the whole school.

Of course, if Harry hadn't lied, his cousin Dudley could have taken on Fish.

So there was no doubt that Gabrielle had eaten her fill.

"Well..."

At Hermione's words, Gabrielle turned her face away with some embarrassment.

"Ugh..." Hermione sighed helplessly, one cat was enough for her, and now a little Veela... She looked at Fish, "Do you have any way to make Gabrielle feel better?"

"Fish will try..."

()?

Fish scratched his head and cast a rejuvenating spell on Gabrielle's stomach. The green glow faded, apparently the rejuvenation spell didn't help with the food.

"Then there's nothing Fish can do about it."

┑(?ΦΦ?)┍

Fish held out his arms, saying there was nothing he could do.

Thankfully, after a few moments of grunting, Gabrielle recovered, albeit with a slightly pained expression....

By this time, the Beauxbatons students had arrived at the Great Hall, led by Madame Maxime, and Fleur was among them, and they should have come for breakfast after checking in at the foyer....

Seeing her sister return, Gabrielle went back to hiding behind Fish and looked at Fleur.

Seeing her younger sister's actions, Fleur was furious, but now she was following Madame Maxime, so she could only glare at Gabrielle, who, seeing that she could do nothing about it, glared back at her very hard and said "bad sister" quietly.

Just as Gabrielle was getting carried away with her own behavior, Fish, who was in front of her, ran towards the Beauxbatons group and the others, which scared the girl so much that she looked around and cowered behind Hermione.

Hermione: "..."

Well, the girl wasn't the same as Fish, she was too shy.

By this time Fish had run up to Madame Maxime and looked at her.

"What can I do for you, little one? I believe your name is Fish, isn't it?"

Few people would have resented Fish if they hadn't been catty from the start, and Madame Máxime was no exception, as she leaned over, stroked Fish's head, and asked kindly.

"Auntie, can you introduce those big horses of yours to Fish nya?"

()

Fish bowed his head and asked earnestly.

"My horses are not very good tempered." Madame Maxime shook her head.

"Don't worry, Fish has already made friends with many Pegasus, the Thestrals of the Forbidden Forest, led by Shadow, and the Aethonans, led by Celestia, are both good friends of Fish!".

?(?ΦΦ?)?

As if that won't be enough to convince Madame Máxime, Fish added, "Fish also has many great friends, Fluffy the three-headed dog, Kanaloa the giant squid, and Uroboros the basilisk, all of whom Fish plays very well with nya!".

If Madame Maxime believed the first part of the story, she didn't believe the later examples.

She doesn't know what's going on with the squid, but how could she, the headmistress of Beauxbatons, not know about the temperament of the three-headed dog and the basilisk?

Unconsciously, Madame Máxime assumed that the young man was lying, that he was looking for an excuse to get closer to her Abraxan and that she could not accept, either for the safety of the other party or to preserve the relationship between the two schools.

However, just as Madame Maxime was about to say no, Dumbledore approached.

"Fish is not lying, Madame Máxime, I believe you sense his affinity, in fact, it works on other magical creatures as well."

"What? I've never heard of a Veela's power to that extent..." said Madame Máxime in amazement, as did Fleur behind her.

"Some people are always special, aren't they?" Dumbledore did not answer directly.

Madame Máxime shot a thoughtful glance at Fish, and since she had Dumbledore's assurance, there was no point in spoiling the fun, "Well, they're in the clearing not far from that hut outside the forest, in the care of the man called Hagrid."

"Thanks nya!"

?(?≧?≦?)?

Fish cheered, then grabbed Hermione and Gabrielle again, and ran out of the castle.

After watching Fish leave the Great Hall, Madame Máxime turned to Dumbledore, "If you weren't lying, you will have a great advantage if Fish becomes the Hogwarts Champion."

The Headmasters, naturally, knew about the competition, so Madame Maxime quickly thought about it, narrowed her eyes, and continued, "No wonder you allow students who are not old enough to try to pass the age line..."

Dumbledore had no intention of hiding it, or he would not have spoken up for Fish. He smiled and said, "If you have a problem with that, we can discuss how to make changes to the program."

"No," said Madame Maxime, shaking her head, "I have faith in my students, and even if Fish wins, it will be through his own talent, not by cheating."

After a pause, she added, "But if Karkarov would think like that, that's not certain."

Hearing that, a faint hint of disdain crossed Madame Maxime's face.

Dumbledore was not annoyed, but instead guided her towards the teachers' table, "Come and try our breakfast, you won't be disappointed."

Fish didn't care what the Headmasters said about him behind his back, he didn't care if the competition was changed or not, the cat led Hermione and Gabrielle to Hagrid's hut eagerly.

The huge powder blue carriage in which Beauxbatons had arrived was parked a couple of hundred yards from the front door of Hagrid's hut, and beside it was a makeshift meadow where the twelve Abraxan were grazing lazily.

"Hello nya!"

(?ΦΦ?)?

Fish greeted them from afar, and the horses raised their heads and whinnied happily at Fish in response.

"Boom!"

The door of the hut swung wide open, and Hagrid, who had heard the unusual neighing of the horses, came running out with heavy footsteps.

"Nyajajajaja!" Fish saw Hagrid's appearance and couldn't help but cover his stomach with one hand and point at Hagrid with the other, laughing, "Hermione, look, Hagrid looks so strange!"

(?≧?≦?)?

Hagrid wore one of his shaggy brown suits with a yellow and orange tartan tie. He also used a large amount of some kind of machine lubricant to straighten his hair in two strands, and it looked like he wanted to wear a ponytail like Bill's, but he had so much hair that he had to make two.

The ponytail was very funny even to the aesthetic Fish, not to mention Hermione and Gabrielle. Hermione did her best to remain polite, but turned her body away, her shoulders shaking, while Gabrielle, the little one, didn't think twice about it and giggled along with Fish.

"Is it... ugly?"

Hagrid rubbed his nose in embarrassment and then waved his arms, as if he wanted to untie the ponytail from his head, but didn't know what to do with it.

"It's not ugly," Fish continued, smiling broadly and giving Hagrid a thumbs-up gesture. "What a funny look, Fish loves it!".

(?≧?≦?)b

Hagrid: "..."
