Chapter 609: Tracker

In the following days, Hermione was no longer so busy. She and other students who had received the news were quietly waiting for the opportunity to go to Hogsmeade.

But on the other side, Fudge and the Ministry of Magic led by him were not at all restless, and caused a lot of trouble during this period.

Although Fudge did not continue to issue educational orders, he had actually tried to intervene in Hogwarts affairs many times in private, and wanted to continue to arrange manpower on campus, and even wanted to let dementors station outside the school again...

But they were all blocked by Dumbledore.

However, as a price, Dumbledore had to stop his search for the whereabouts of Voldemort's Horcruxes outside and returned to Hogwarts to take charge of the overall situation to prevent Fudge from interfering with the management of the school beyond him.

At the same time, Dumbledore was also a little worried that a certain little fur cat would blame him again. It would be better to keep an eye on him in the school. Voldemort's Horcrux could be dealt with slowly. Besides, there was a Horcrux within the school that had not yet been solved.

On the other side, after some hysterics, Umbridge finally accepted the reality that she had been turned into a toad man. Mainly because she received the assurance from St. Mungo's therapist and knew that she could still recover, so in After gradually calming down, Umbridge decided to take revenge on the culprit who caused her ugly appearance.

So she no longer resisted the interview, and even allowed Rita Skeeter to take photos of herself as she wanted, just to cry and pretend to be pitiful in the Daily Prophet, and follow Minister Fudge's instructions to point the finger at Dumbledore. profitable.

Dumbledore, whose reputation had been gradually ruined by the Ministry of Magic's continuous public opinion offensive, is now in an even worse situation, with many of his previous honors being withdrawn one by one.

Fortunately, Dumbledore himself didn't care about this, and Hogwarts was still under his control.

In addition to Dumbledore, in fact, during the interview, Umbridge kept hinting to Rita Skeeter that the person who attacked her was probably Fish...

It's not that Umbridge really has any remaining memories. She is purely biased against Fish because of her biophobia of "not all human", especially when she learned from colleagues at the Ministry of Magic that some clues actually pointed to After Fei Xu was killed, she became more certain that the murderer was Fei Xu, and suggested to Fudge that Fei Xu should be arrested and interrogated directly.

Umbridge's proposal was naturally ignored by Fudge. In addition to not wanting to embarrass Feish, it was mainly because Snape's cover-up made Maomao's suspicion much lower.

In fact, Fish was indeed one of the main suspects of the Ministry of Magic at the beginning. However, when the Aurors responsible for investigating the case questioned the cats, they immediately ruled out his suspicion without hesitation. In addition, Snape's cleanup, so Fish is fine...

In addition to being given a lot of extra homework by Professor McGonagall.

After Umbridge found Fish to cause trouble to no avail, she could only choose to keep hinting at Rita Skeeter, who was interviewing her, hoping that the other party would "talk nonsense" in the newspaper as she did in the past.

But it is a pity that Skeeter is also from Maomao's side, so he naturally ignored Umbridge's little thoughts and wrote a letter to Fish to inform Fish.

It's just that Fish didn't take these things to heart. He didn't care if he was suspected. Cats were playing leisurely on campus as always. Whether it was the Ministry of Magic or Voldemort, they were not as important to Fish as having to eat for lunch. What matters.

In this way, time came to October. On the first weekend of October, which was actually the first day of October, the school opened the door to Hogsmeade. A small number of people have visited Hogsmeade in the past few days. Becoming a lot more excited than usual.

The morning we went to Hogsmeade was sunny but windy.

After having breakfast, Fish came to the foyer with Hermione and Harry. At this time, many students had already lined up in front of Filch. He was checking the students against the long list. Their names are on the list of classmates whose parents or guardians have allowed them to visit Hogsmeade.

Although Fish could just say hello to Filch and jump directly to the queue to leave, he did not do so. Instead, he walked to the end of the queue with Hermione and the others.

When Filch saw Fish appear, he immediately speeded up the check. The long queue shortened rapidly, and soon it was Fish's turn.

"Have a good time, Fish."

An ugly smile appeared on Filch's gloomy face. He didn't bother to look at the list at all. While saying hello to Fish, he also stuffed a bag of dried fish he baked himself.

"Fish will bring you and Loris something delicious to eat, meow!"

(ΦωΦ)

Maomao waved to Filch, then quickly passed through the hall and came outside.

"As I said before, you guys go notify the other people on the list and let them go to Fish's house in batches. Comey is already waiting there. Be careful not to be caught by other people, especially Slytherin students. To discover.”

After leaving the school gate, Hermione carefully looked around, then lowered her voice and spoke to Harry and the others.

"I know," Ron waved his hand impatiently, "You've said it a dozen times, we're not stupid!"

After arriving in Hogsmeade, Harry and others quickly dispersed to find students from other houses on the list, while Fish and Hermione wandered around the village.

Cats are usually too eye-catching. If they don't show up in the village, the Ministry of Magic will easily notice something unusual.

Just strolling around, Feishu suddenly turned his head and looked at the street aside, with a serious expression on his face.

"What's the matter, Fish?" Hermione asked curiously.

"That person has been following us. He is an unknown person, Meowth!"

Fish pointed at a wizard not far away who was wearing a gray robe and his face was covered with bandages and said loudly.

At this moment, the students around Maomao and the villagers in Hogsmeade all focused their attention on the wizard whose face was covered with bandages.

"W-misunderstanding..." The man waved his hands in a panic and stammered an explanation: "I-I just came to Hogsmeade for a stroll. I had only seen Fish in the newspaper before, so there was something wrong... Just curious!"

"Liar, Meow!" Fish shouted angrily: "Your scent appeared outside Hogwarts! Tell me! What kind of Meow are you?! Why is Meow following Fish?!"

(`Д)

Maomao asked as he jumped in front of the man, and before he could react, he pulled off the bandage on the man's face.

Soon, someone recognized the identity of this wizard...

"You are Willy Widdershin! Weren't you arrested by the Ministry of Magic for causing multiple incidents of toilet sewage backflow in Muggle areas?!"

"You got the wrong person!"

Willy Widdershin panicked and covered his head with his arms, then rushed out of the crowd with his head covered.

As a result, Fish just stretched out his leg and hooked him slightly, causing him to trip and fall to the ground. The people around him swarmed up, held him down, and took away his wand.

After watching the enthusiastic onlookers escorting Willy Widdershin away, Hermione walked around the village with Fish on her arm for a while. After making sure that no one was following them, she went back to her home. .
