Chapter 14 Waiting for You to Grow Up

Fish's robbery plan naturally failed.

Professor McGonagall quickly caught Fish, who was about to run away with the candy, and dragged him to a corner and began to scold him loudly.

Facing Professor McGonagall's endless preaching, Fish pinched the hem of his robe, lowered his head, raised his green eyes from time to time to glance at Professor McGonagall, and then quickly lowered his eyes.

He looked pitiful.

According to Fish's estimation, as long as he put on such a posture, Minerva would probably let him go after another three or four minutes of nagging.

"Okay, Minerva, Fish is just not sensible yet, poor little guy, he already knows he is wrong."

However, before that, Mrs. Frum, who had almost no resistance to animal affinity, had been confused by Fish's pretense. She took the initiative to come forward to speak well of Fish, hoping that Professor McGonagall would let him go.

Professor McGonagall, who knew Fish's character well, hesitated to speak, and finally gave up the idea of ​​explaining after hesitating for a while.

However, although Professor McGonagall gave up preaching to Fish for Mrs. Froome's sake, the punishment he deserved would not be less.

"Because of your mischief, there are only two snacks you can choose."

Professor McGonagall said to Fish with a serious expression.

"Meow!"

Fish was immediately dissatisfied.

"Minerva, you liar! You said you would let me choose three, meow!"

"Who told you to try to grab the candy here just now! This is your punishment for not listening!"

On such a principled issue, Professor McGonagall has always been unyielding.

"You didn't say you couldn't let me grab the candy! Minerva, you liar, meow! You liar!"

However, Fish also had his own reasons.

As long as there was no explanation in advance, there was nothing wrong with what he did!

Firth felt that he did nothing wrong, but unfortunately, his reasoning did not work with Professor McGonagall. No matter how he "argued", he could not make Professor McGonagall give in.

In the end, Firth could only take the pear hard candy given by Mrs. Froome, as well as the ice mice and Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans he chose, and was dragged away from Honeydukes by Professor McGonagall.

"Meow~ Big liar, big liar, Minerva is a big liar..."

Firth muttered softly, tore open the packaging of the pear hard candy randomly, and then stuffed his whole face into the unpacked bag, stretched out his tongue to roll up a candy and put it into his mouth.

While using his tongue to roll the candy in his mouth, hitting his teeth and making a pleasant "click" sound, Firth continued to mutter in an unclear voice.

"Liar, liar, liar..."

Knowing that the more he paid attention to this kid, the more excited he would be, Professor McGonagall pretended not to hear it, took Firth's hand, and walked forward along the main road of Hogsmeade.

"Where are we going, meow?"

Sure enough, after realizing that Minerva didn't want to play with him at all, Fish stopped talking and asked her instead.

"The Three Broomsticks, I have an appointment there."

"What is a bar?"

"It's a place that sells alcoholic beverages. Many wizards like to have a drink in the Three Broomsticks and chat inside."

"What are alcoholic beverages?"

"It's the pumpkin juice and fruit juice you usually drink. These things are collectively called beverages. As for wine, you can't drink it yet."

At first, Fish hated learning human language, but after mastering the basic ability to communicate, his curiosity overwhelmed his aversion to learning, which was reflected in his usual high number of questions.

Professor McGonagall was always very patient with Fish's questions, and basically answered all his questions.

"Why can't I drink, meow?"

"Because you are young."

"But I want to drink, meow."

"You can't drink even if I want to."

"..."

"Don't think about asking Comey to prepare it for you secretly. I have already told him. Don't think about drinking secretly in the Three Broomsticks. Rosmerta will not provide you with alcohol, and you don't have money."

Even if Fish didn't say anything, Professor McGonagall knew what he was thinking.

"...Minerva, you are mean."

Fish, who was guessed at, stuffed another candy into his mouth angrily.

Bringing Fish to the door of the Three Broomsticks, Professor McGonagall stretched out her hand and pushed open the door of the bar.

Even though Hogwarts was on vacation, there were still a lot of people inside. Professor McGonagall looked around and finally found an empty table.

When the two came to the empty table and sat down, the charming proprietress Ms. Rosmerta came over in time.

"Hello, Professor McGonagall, welcome."

After greeting Professor McGonagall, Ms. Rosmerta turned her eyes to Fish.

"Is this child the Animagus you adopted? He's so cute."

Ms. Rosmerta leaned over and reached out to touch Phish's head.

Phishi, who was already in a bad mood, turned his head away from Ms. Rosmerta's palm and bared his teeth at her.

"Ha--!"

But whether in human or cat form, Phish's expression when he laughed was fierce and ferocious, which didn't scare anyone at all, but instead made all the wizards around laugh.

"Sorry, this child is shy."

Professor McGonagall chuckled and touched Phish's head.

Naturally, Ms. Rosmerta would not take such a trivial matter to her heart. She waved her hand to show that she didn't care, and then asked: "Butterbeer? Or mead?"

"Bring me a butterbeer."

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment, and in order to prevent the naughty guy like Fish from accidentally drinking the wine in his glass, it would be safer to order butterbeer with almost no alcohol.

"Another glass of cherry juice for Fish."

"OK, just a second."

Ms. Rosmerta nodded to Professor McGonagall, winked at Fish who was staring at her, and then turned around and headed to the bar.

However, she had just turned around when she heard Feishu's childish voice that sounded a little milky behind her.

"Minerva, this person is so strange, meow..."

Fei Xu made a gesture near his chest with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why does she have a butt here?"

The noisy bar instantly fell silent. About ten seconds later, the wizards in the bar burst into laughter.

Many wizards laughed wildly while banging the table in front of them. Some wizards even laughed so much that they fell off their chairs. After falling to the ground, they simply didn't bother to get up. They lay on the ground holding their stomachs and laughing wildly.

Fish looked at the laughing humans around him in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with his question.

In fact, he had seen similar humans before, but he didn't know how to turn into a human at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he saw this kind of human with a butt on his chest, of course he had to ask clearly.

"Uh... that's not the butt..."

Professor McGonagall looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain to Fish.

After mumbling for a long time, she finally used the answer most commonly used by parents -

"You'll know when you grow up."
