Chapter 598 Sprouting
The three of them left the headmaster's office and walked down the spiral staircase. They soon arrived at the secret door on the third floor.
"Oh right!" Hermione suddenly remembered something when she walked here. "Umbridge once tried the password of the headmaster's office at this door. I don't know what she wanted to do." She reminded Dumbledore.
"What else can you do?" Dumbledore smiled indifferently, then used a spell to cover the figures of the three people and said, "It's nothing more than wanting to enter my office and find out if there is any evidence that can be used to attack me."
As he spoke, he took Firth and Hermione out of the castle.
"Umbridge is very good at this. Fudge is actually very good at using people. Unfortunately... Alas..."
Dumbledore sighed. He actually recognized Fudge's ability. Otherwise, he would not have supported him to become the Minister of Magic. But he did not expect Fudge to become what he is now.
"Fish still thinks that it's better to just beat him up, meow," Maomao said with deep feeling: "Fish used to be disobedient and was always beaten by Minerva, meow!"
(ˇˇ)
"Violence can't solve all problems, Fish." Dumbledore patiently guided, "You should be able to beat Minerva now, but as far as I know, you haven't challenged her for a long time, right? Why is that?"
"Fish... I don't know, meow..." Maomao looked a little confused, "Fish just felt that it would be useless to beat Minerva, and Fish didn't want to provoke Minerva. Angry meow..."
(ω)
"You see, you've already noticed something, but you haven't fully understood it yet."
Dumbledore smiled with relief. He reached out and patted Fish's head, saying, "Besides Minerva, there should be other people who did something that made you unhappy, and you still don't want to use violence against them, right? For example, Hermione, Harry, Comey..."
Fish nodded every time Dumbledore mentioned a name, and he continued, "There are also Severus, Luna, Newt, Wuwu, Fangya..."
Mao Mao counted on his fingers and reported a long list of names.
Dumbledore was smiling with relief, but gradually, the smile on his face disappeared...
"Fish..." He pointed at his crooked nose with his finger and asked, "Did you miss someone?"
"Meow?"
(ω)
Fish tilted his head and glanced at him, pouting and saying, "Albus was not among these people."
Dumbledore: "..."
How should I put it... He actually thought this situation was natural...
The headmaster sighed secretly with a smile.
The only thing that made Dumbledore feel fortunate was that their conversation was outside the headmaster's office, otherwise he would be laughed at for a long time by those portraits, especially the portrait of Phineas.
"Can I know why?" Dumbledore asked a little unwillingly.
"Because Albus you are so powerful... Fish has always wanted to fight with you again meow! I'm just worried that Minerva will be angry..."
(ˇˇ)
The cat's answer made Dumbledore feel much better. He regained his cheerful smile and said, "Then after we defeat Voldemort, let's find a time to fight again."
"If Fish wins, the Sorting Hat must belong to Fish meow!" The cat said immediately.
"What if I win?" Dumbledore's blue eyes showed a hint of cunning, "My request is not high, just give me a birthday present."
"It's a deal meow!"
(ω)
Fish agreed without hesitation.
At this time, the three also entered the Forbidden Forest. Because Dumbledore was there, they didn't need to go too deep. After finding a large open space on the periphery, Dumbledore quickly cast a concealing magic.
However, there were still a few magical animals that happened to be foraging nearby, and they all came over after seeing Fish.
"Fish has something to do today, I'll come to play meow with you guys next time!"
(ΦωΦ)
After exchanging a few words with them, Fish took some food from his magic pocket and gave it to them, then sent them away.
After eating the food given by the cat, these magical animals also left obediently, and made their own calls to tell their kind not to get close to here.
And here, Fish also drew out his wand, raised it above his head and began to draw circles...
"Expecto Patronus! Meow!"
(ΦωΦ)つ━☆*.
The silver-white giant tree appeared in the open space in front of the three people, and its towering figure looked so oppressive...
Of course, it would be better if the shape was not so sloppy.
Fish would not dislike the appearance of his patronus. At this time, he and Hermione raised their heads and carefully looked at the silver-white giant tree in front of them.
Dumbledore exclaimed: "No matter how many times you see it, it's always so shocking!"
"It seems to be no different from yesterday..." Hermione counted the number of branches and roots, said with a little regret, and then turned to look at Fish, she was worried that the cat would be discouraged.
However, after looking at it for a while, Fish suddenly pointed at the treetop and shouted: "There is a change, meow! There is a leaf there, meow!"
()
"Where is it?"
Hermione and Dumbledore both narrowed their eyes and looked hard in the direction Fish pointed.
Unfortunately, the difference between the eyesight of the two and Maomao was too great. After looking for a long time, they could not find where the leaves that Fei Xu mentioned were.
Seeing this, Fish directly controlled a branch of the Patronus to hang down in front of Hermione and Dumbledore.
Only then did the two discover that about a quarter of the way through the branch, there was a bump the size of a fingernail, which could barely be seen to be a heart-shaped bud.
"Hahaha... It seems that my guess is correct." Dumbledore stroked his beard and let out a hearty laugh, feeling very proud that he had guessed correctly.
"Great! Fish!" Hermione also said happily: "Next time you dream, you can explore the tree carefully!"
"Ah...this meow..."
(ω)
Maomao touched the back of his head with wandering eyes and said with a dry smile: "Actually, Feishu has explored Meow before..."
The smile on Hermione's face suddenly froze, and then she shouted angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to take risks before you are sure of the situation?!"
"But... Fish doesn't think that tree will hurt me..." Maomao pouted and defended: "She feels the same as Minerva... and isn't this okay?"
(〃`3〃)
Hermione glared at the little fur cat angrily, but she couldn't say any words of blame.
After all, just like Fish said, he was not in danger, and the Patron Saint had really grown.
In fact, Dumbledore had already guessed that such a situation might occur. He basically confirmed that Fish was not in danger, so he suggested Maomao to explore the dreamland. Letting him slow down was just a precaution... …
As expected, the cat was not obedient.
"By the way, she even saved Fei Xu once in the dream!"
In order to reassure Hermione, Maomao told the story about being caught by the giant tree after falling from a high place. He also told the scene he saw when he was at the top of the tree.
"Next time you have a dream, you can try to run to that boundary and have a look." Dumbledore suggested: "But it's best not to cross that boundary easily, and test it a few times before that."
After knowing that the tree in the dream would take the initiative to protect Fish, Dumbledore actually no longer worried about his safety. Even if it was dangerous to cross the border, he estimated that the tree would probably take the initiative to stop the cat.
"But...it looks so far there..."
(ω)
Fish said not very happily. If the distance was close, Dumbledore would slip past him without even opening his mouth.
"Uh...it doesn't matter." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "You can go whenever you want. It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, and Minerva definitely doesn't want you to take risks."
"Meow!"
∑(ΦДΦ)
When this was mentioned, Feishu was suddenly startled.
"That's right! Don't tell Minerva about Fish secretly climbing a tree in his dream!"
(ω)
Maomao begged quickly. At the same time, his eyes widened and the cat ears on his head drooped, looking pitiful.
Fei used his previous trick of pretending to be good for the first time in a long time, and the effect was surprisingly good...
Anyway, Hermione was defeated instantly.
"Don't worry, I won't talk too much! Fish is fine anyway, right?!" Hermione replied decisively.
Moreover, she kept glancing at Dumbledore aside, hoping that he would agree as soon as possible. Completely throwing away the previous idea of "let Fisch learn a lesson"...
Now she just wants to drag Fish to find a hidden place to play games!

The setting of the final case is interesting, but the structure of the case itself is average.
It seems that it was updated last Sunday... If I had known it, I would have read it during my break yesterday.
