Chapter 367: Fish's plan is perfect (Edited)

"Nya~"

A distinct feline meow sounded on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, and spread to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

As the cat's meow gradually weakened, all sorts of strange chirping sounds immediately rang out in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and then spread out to a greater distance.

"Well, we'll wait here for a bit nya."

(?Φ?Φ?)

Fish lowered the hands covering his mouth, turned his head and told Harry to take off his invisibility cloak.

"Okay."

Harry pursed his lips and nodded with a tense expression.

The denizens of the Forbidden Forest didn't keep Fish waiting long, before long, Harry saw Fish twirling his cat ears above his head, a happy smile on his face.

Sounds of movement followed from all directions.

The first to arrive would be the thestrals, and although Harry couldn't see them, he was not oblivious to the fierce winds and the names Fish was shouting, such as "Shadow," which he had seen last year.

The three-headed dog, Fluffy, was an "old friend" of Harry's.

More and more magical creatures were appearing in front of Fish and Harry, and even though he had experienced this scene before, Harry's legs were still shaking....

Not everyone, like Fish and Hagrid, can keep their cool in the face of a horde of dangerous magical animals.

Not to mention...

Harry also saw something unsettling about the group of animals.

"Fish, can you see that dog?"

Harry pointed to a large black dog standing very close to him, still staring at him, and tugged at Fish's shirt with some trepidation.

"Nya?" Fish followed Harry's finger, "Ah, you mean Cold, of course Fish can see him nya."

(?Φ?Φ?)

While answering Harry's question, the little cat greeted Sirius.

The big black dog immediately ran up with his tongue out and kept wagging his tail at Fish and Harry.

"His name is Cold, he showed up in the Forbidden Forest about two or three months ago." Fish rubbed Sirius' doggy head and introduced him to Harry, "He was hungry and skinny, he stole food from Fang and Fluffy beat him up, but now they're all good friends nya."

Harry didn't believe Fish, because Fang ran to him, brutally pushed the dog named Cold away and stuck his head in Fish's arms.

"Ahahaha...looks like Fang is still mad at Cold." Fish didn't mind, he patted Fang's head happily and scolded him, "You're such a cheapskate."

Harry felt a great relief to learn that Cold was not a Grim and, now that he thought about it, it was most likely that the big black dog he had seen at the quidditch match was Cold.

As for the big black dog Harry had seen the night he left the Dursley's, although it looked a bit like Cold, this one was quite a bit bigger (and fatter) and was probably just a black dog of the same breed as Fang.

It was also at this point that Harry discovered that Fang could also be considered a so-called "Grim", as for Fang's attitude, Harry couldn't be clearer about it.

And then he remembered Professor Trelawney's usual ramblings, and he suddenly felt a little weird....

I've been afraid for so long because of this kind of nonsense, Hermione is right, he and Ron are just freaking out.

Harry, who was no longer afraid of the so-called Grim, saw that the Cold that Fang pushed away was a bit pitiful, so he unconsciously took a step forward, reached out his hand and stroked his head.

And Cold also showed a gentle character that did not suit his body type at all. He not only let Harry caress peacefully, but also stuck out his wet tongue and licked Harry's palm....

Then Fang pushed him away again and barked "Woof" at Harry.

"Fang says Cold is a thief, and tells you not to play with him nya." Fish dutifully translated.

Fish was right, Fang really was a cheapskate.

Harry rolled his eyes, feeling even more ashamed of his earlier behavior.

If the one called Grim was like Fang, the people who saw them wouldn't have died from some curse....

I'm afraid they're dying laughing.

After rubbing the dog's head for a while, Fish finally got down to business.

"Quiet, everyone, Fish has called them to do Fish nya a favor."

(?Φ?Φ?)

The kitten waved his hands, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"His name is Harry Potter and he's Fish's friend, except Cold, who you all know from before nya." said Fish as he pointed to Harry next to him, "Now he's being watched by that bad guy named Sirius Black nya..."

Sirius Black, who was right in front of Fish and Harry: "..."

A month or so ago, Fish had summoned the creatures of the Forbidden Forest to help him keep an eye on his whereabouts, forcing him to be careful when he practiced his spells without a wand.

It was then that Sirius realized that he had become the target of that eccentric little wizard, and that if he appeared in human form before Fish, he would be captured for the bounty.

And then Sirius felt pain as he heard Fish relate the "feud" between Harry and him, with Harry at his side.

The more he listened, the more his face grew grim.

Sirius wanted to jump up immediately and explain it to Harry, but guilt, guilt, and what little sanity he had prevented him from doing so.

In Sirius's mind, he was just as much a murderer of James and Lily as Peter Pettigrew, and he didn't dare confront Harry.

And, without catching Peter, neither of them would believe him, whatever he said.

So Sirius, after a moment's hesitation, quickly confirmed his original plan:

After catching and killing Pettigrew Peter will explain everything to Harry. If Harry refuses to forgive him, he will turn himself in and make atonement. After that, he will remain imprisoned in Azkaban, or directly receive a kiss from the Dementors, Sirius didn't care.

"... That's the way it is nya, you guys help keep an eye on Harry in the future, and don't let Sirius attack him."

(??v?v??)

At that moment, Fish also finished his and Harry's plan with a serious expression on his face, and naturally, the other creatures of the Forbidden Forest accepted it without hesitation.

And Sirius was pleased with the arrangement Fish had made.

He had never been able to sneak into the Gryffindor dormitories because he was worried that Fish would be there and, if he didn't get his revenge, he would end up getting himself killed.

He was also worried that, if he caught Peter, the traitor would be desperate enough to hurt Harry.

Now that Fish had sent Harry, and he himself was making noise in the Forbidden Forest from time to time, it would be much easier for Sirius to find an opportunity to sneak into the Gryffindor dormitory.

After Fish's instructions, most of the magical creatures scattered and returned to their own territories, except for a few closer ones like Fluffy, Shadow, Buckbeak and Lochlin, who stayed behind.

The only ones who stayed were the "normal" dogs, Fang and Cold.

"Too bad there aren't any Boggarts in the Forbidden Forest," Fish said to Harry, shaking his head regretfully. "I'll have to let Fluffy practice the Patronus Charm on you."

Harry looked at Fluffy and swallowed hard....

If he could, he'd still like to practice on the boggart.
