Chapter 218: Borrowed Treasure (Edited)

In fact, if he wanted to get rid of Dumbledore's harassment, it wouldn't be impossible for Fish.

The most direct way would be to use his faster speed to get away from the old bad guy, and then sneak away to find Uroboros once he had made sure he couldn't find him.

But in doing so, he revealed Fish's ability to detect when someone was following him.

When he thought that after exposing this ability, if he wanted to do something secretly in the future, Minerva would keep an eye on him, Fish felt this was a small loss, so he never opted to do so.

Another thing was that, with the ability to enter and leave the Forbidden Forest at will, Fish was no longer satisfied with just wandering around the castle all day, he wanted to find Lady Norris' attacker to avenge her.

So during the last few nights, Fish got bored of wandering around the castle, and fighting Dumbledore in the dark has been his way of getting rid of that boredom.

It was also thanks to his usual unpredictable movements, otherwise Dumbledore would have noticed his strange behavior long ago.

But compared to scheming with the old bad guy, asking Uroboros for information about the Chamber of Secrets is more important to Fish at this point.

But to get to Uroboros, he first had to get rid of Dumbledore.

Things were at a dead end.

If only he could be invisible like the old bad guy.

An anguished Fish thought...

"Huh?"

⊙ω⊙

It was only at this moment that Feis remembered that he seemed to have a way to be invisible!

He hadn't remembered Harry's invisibility cloak, mainly because Professor McGonagall had stopped restricting him from playing in the Forbidden Forest, so he hadn't needed to be invisible before, and had eventually forgotten about it.

Now that he remembered there was a way to do it, Fish was the first person to approach Harry.

"Harry, can I borrow your invisibility cloak nya?"

(●φωφ●)?

Fish asked as he slipped next to Harry's bed while no one else was in the dormitory.

"Yes" Harry asked curiously as he pulled his invisibility cloak out of his case, "But, what do you need it for? doesn't Professor McGonagall let you play in the Forbidden Forest now?"

"I don't know what's up with that mean old Albus lately, but he's been sneaking up on Fish at night, and I can't get rid of him!"

Fish replied with a growl, reaching for the invisibility cloak Harry had handed him.

It only took a moment of thinking about recent events to guess what Dumbledore was thinking, Harry was a little reckless, but not stupid....

Staring at the invisibility cloak in Fish's hand that he had just handed over, Harry's mind collapsed.

If anything had gone wrong after Fish was out of Dumbledore's sight, he would have been torn to shreds by Professor McGonagall and the school girls!

"Ah... by the way," Harry said dryly to Fish, as if he was remembering something, "I just remembered that the invisibility cloak is still useful to me these two days..."

That said, he reached out to retrieve the invisibility cloak from Fish's hands....

But Fish dodged it with a wave of his arm.

"Scar Head, you're underestimating Fish nya too!"

?(●φдφ●)?

Harry's poor performance was no match for the witty Fish, who wagged his tail and glared angrily at Harry, going so far as to call him by his nickname.

"No, I didn't!"

Harry hastily denied it and explained in a mumble, "It's just... um.... The guy who attacked Mrs. Norris hasn't been found yet, Fish, it's too dangerous for you to hang around."

After thinking about it for a long time without coming up with a good excuse, Harry simply told the truth.

"You're really underestimating Fish nya!"

?(●`д′●)?

The kitten was even angrier, he had kept Harry's secret twice and taught a lesson to the big fat man who had imprisoned him, and now Scarhead didn't want to help him...

This is a betrayal of Fish!

Fish's cat tail bristled, and his gaze at Harry became dangerous.

Cold eyes roamed all over Harry's body, and Fish was assessing where he should strike to teach the traitor a profound lesson without killing him.

"Dumbledore and the others are worried about you too..."

Harry, unaware that he was about to follow in Lockhart's footsteps, was still trying to persuade him.

"Fish knows nya," replied Fish defiantly, wrinkling his little nose, "But Fish isn't afraid of that bad guy! I beat even the big spider and the stinky guy last semester!"

However, Harry's luck wasn't bad, seeing that he was also worried about him, Fish decided not to hit him for the time being.

But he still had to borrow the invisibility cloak and wanted to ask Uroboros about the Chamber of Secrets.

"And with your invisibility cloak, Fish can run away if he can't fight, so there's no need to worry about him being petrified like Norris!" Fish said eloquently.

Harry hesitated for a long time before nodding reluctantly: "All right, but I'll only lend this to you for one night."

'If it's only one night, nothing bad should happen...'

Harry, who had no idea how to persuade Fish, thought to himself.

And Fish, who only needed one night, naturally agreed.

Fish wanted to get rid of Dumbledore because he had promised to keep Ginny's secret, and if he found out where the Chamber of Secrets was, Fish didn't much care if Dumbledore followed him.

Harry, unaware of Fish's thoughts, wondered if it would be better to sneak up on Professor McGonagall.

Unfortunately for him, this dangerous thought had been foreseen by the clever kitten.

After stowing the Invisibility Cloak in his magical pouch, Fish stared at Harry with a serious look on his face and said, "Don't tell Minerva and the others that Fish has borrowed the Invisibility Cloak!"

He shook his little fist and threatened, "Or Fish will beat you up! And I'll tell the others that you can speak Parseltongue!"

(? °? °?) ?

The expression on Harry's face froze as they guessed his thoughts, and he replied with a dry smile, "Ahaha.... how is it possible, how could I go to report? Hahaha..."

"Don't worry Harry, Fish is good!" Fish patted Harry on the shoulder and assured him, "I'll be fine nya!".

Then, as a token of his thanks, Fish promised, "Tomorrow is the weekend, Fish will take you to see Aunt Kora in the Forbidden Forest!".

"What, what, what, what are you talking about Fish?!"

Harry blushed instantly, not caring about Fish now, and shouted stuttering.

"Nya?"

?ω?

Fish cocked his head to the side and said in confusion, "You and Ron were spying on Aunt Kora the whole time we were guests at the Centaur Tribe, Fish doesn't talk nonsense."

Harry's voice trailed off as the kitten startled him, and then he stammered, "Well, I was watching her because, no! I wasn't spying! Well... anyway, it's not what you think!"

"Is that so nya? so you're still going for the weekend?"

"I'm going!"
