Chapter 177 Sorting Hat: Its too difficult for me
"Minerva~"?●w●?
Fish, who rushed back to Hogwarts, quickly found Professor McGonagall who was busy in the office on the second floor, and quickly rushed towards her and hugged her.
"Huh? How dare you come back?!"
Professor McGonagall pinched Fish's cheek and asked with a smile.
Of course she wasn't really angry with Fei Xu, she just wondered why he ran back in a hurry not long after he ran away... Under normal circumstances, he would have to wait until lunch time, this little skinny
The cat will sneak back.
"Meow!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)
Xiao Feixu then remembered that he had wronged Minerva just now, and he was thinking about the comb and forgot about it.
I have no choice but to act coquettishly in this situation.
So Fish showed a flattering smile and rubbed his head against Professor McGonagall's body, acting like a good baby.
"You little clever guy."
Originally not really angry, Professor McGonagall smiled and tapped Fish on the forehead twice, and the matter was over.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Professor McGonagall, who was familiar with the nature of the little fur cat, knew that this little guy wanted something from him as soon as he saw Fish's behavior just now.
So Fish replied honestly: "I want a comb for Cat. Hagrid's comb is too big for Fish."
Professor McGonagall was stunned. This was an oversight on her part. The main reason was that she had been treating Fish as an ordinary little boy and had relatively neglected the needs of cats.
Of course Professor McGonagall had a comb, and she had one in her small handbag. She opened her handbag, took out a small, exquisite silver comb, handed it to Fish, and at the same time tapped his little head again.
Two times.
"You little idiot, why did you learn the art of transformation?"
"Meow!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)
Only then did Fish realize that he could use the Transfiguration spell to turn into a comb, and there was no need to be sent to her door to be lectured by Minerva.
But there is no point in dwelling on things that have already passed.
The kitten happily forgot about this incident and started smoothing its tail with a small silver comb.
The comb teeth passed through the hair and skin, giving Fish a novel experience that was completely different from when he was licking his own hair. The tip of his tail even trembled slightly because of the comfort, and he purred subconsciously in his throat.
sound.
Obviously, just combing one tail was not enough to satisfy Fei Xu. His body gradually shrank, and his black and white hair gradually covered his exposed skin. After a while, he turned into a cat-man form about one meter tall.
.
This was the first time Professor McGonagall saw Fish in this form. She quickly dropped the work at hand, ran over and grabbed Fish's armpits, lifted him up, and looked at the little guy up and down.
In this state, Feish looks like a large tabby cat standing upright, but some of Feish's characteristics in human form can still be seen. The cat claws on both hands also look longer than ordinary cat claws.
And it is much more flexible. Professor McGonagall's silver comb is now firmly held in Fish's hand.
"What's wrong, meow, Minerva?"?w?
Fish looked puzzledly at Professor McGonagall who had lifted him up, his limbs hanging obediently without struggling, although it was not very comfortable for him to be lifted like this.
"When did you become like this?"
After being surprised, Professor McGonagall put Fish down and asked curiously.
While combing his hair with a small comb, Feishu replied casually: "I can meow from the beginning. I became like this first and thought it was too short, so I became a cat person again... What's wrong, meow?"
"
"Well, it's nothing. I'm just a little surprised when I see you like this for the first time."
Professor McGonagall thought for a while and realized that this didn't seem to be a big deal, and Fish's magical performance was no worse than this.
So she smiled and praised: "Fish looks very cute like this."
"Hey hehe~"
Fish shook his head proudly and continued to comb his hair.
But he soon ran into trouble - it was very inconvenient to comb his back.
After twisting his head and using his arms to comb his back a few times, Fish gave up and approached Professor McGonagall with the comb in hand.
"Minerva~comb my back, meow~"?●w●?
However, Professor McGonagall, who was busy at work, didn't have much free time. She lowered her head and sorted out the list of new students and casually said, "I'm not free now. You can ask Hagrid or someone else to help you, or I can help you tonight."
I’ll help you comb it again.”
"Then Minerva wants Fish to help meow?"
Fish thought for a while, but still preferred to be combed by Professor McGonagall, so he put the comb on the desk, then lay on Professor McGonagall's back, looking over her shoulder at the list of students, and asked
.
"You would be a big help if you calm down for me during the opening party."
“Hmph!”(〃`3′〃)
Fish puffed up his face and was very dissatisfied with Professor McGonagall's disdain for him.
"Fish is so good now!"
"Yes, yes, then Fei Xu can just go and play by yourself, okay? Mom still has work to do."
"Okay, meow! Then I'm going to go play with Albus and Fawkes."
When it came to the opening party, Fish thought of the Sorting Hat. He definitely couldn't grab the Sorting Hat and run away like he did last year, so he had to go and get close to it in advance.
Fish, in cat-human form, jumped off Professor McGonagall's back and ran towards the third floor.?(?)?
Using a cat's meow to ask the stone monster guarding the door to get out of the way, Fish couldn't wait for the slow spiral staircase and quickly jumped to the eighth floor, then pushed open the gleaming oak door.
"Hello, meow!"(=ΦwΦ=)?
Dumbledore was not in his office, but Fish didn't care at all. He greeted the portraits of the principal on the wall familiarly.
And those portraits were all pretending to be asleep as always.
Feixu didn't care. He had long been accustomed to the silence of these grandparents. After saying hello, he ran to Fox's side.
Fox's condition looked even worse than before, and the feathers on his body were sparse. When he saw Fish, he just weakly raised his wings slightly, and then let out a hoarse cry.
As usual, he cast a soothing spell on Fox. Fish stood on tiptoes and stroked its wings twice, but accidentally pulled off a feather with his claws.
Fish retracted his paws sarcastically. Fish no longer disturbed Fox and turned around to climb up the shelf where the Sorting Hat was placed.
"Merlin's stinky socks! Pull your claws back quickly! I can't stand two scratches from you!"
The Sorting Hat shouted at the top of his lungs, he no longer expects Fei Xu not to torment him, but at least don't use his claws! Those sharp little claws scare the hat just looking at them!
"Meow?"
Fish looked at his cat's paws, and then he retracted them belatedly. The paws in cat-human form were different from those of cats, so he accidentally ran out.
"Sorting Hat, I came to play with you, meow!" (=ΦwΦ=)?
"Then I really thank you..."
The Sorting Hat replied weakly, and then Fish took it off the shelf without any resistance and placed it upside down on the desk.
Fish turned back into a cat, got into the Sorting Hat and rolled around.
