Chapter 620 "Honest" Cat

In the potion class, Fish often drank potions secretly, and he would ask Snape for some potions from time to time to taste them, so he had long discovered that the effects of most potions would be weakened a lot when they were on him.

For example, the Polyjuice Potion with animal materials added would take Professor McGonagall, Hermione and Umbridge more than a month to recover, but the effect of Fish would disappear the next day.

This is also one of the reasons why Fish knew that there was something wrong with the tea, but he didn't take it seriously.

Of course, the main reason is... Cat is curious!

No one can stop the curiosity of a little cat! No one!

In fact, when the feeling of emptiness came, Fish already understood what Umbridge put in the tea.

Veritaserum, a potion used by Snape when interrogating Sirius in the third grade, people who drink it will only tell the truth...

Fish was curious afterwards and asked Snape for some to try.

Unlike the Imperius Curse, although Fish's reaction after drinking the truth serum was not as strong as others, and he could still maintain consciousness, he was not completely immune to the effects of the truth serum. When faced with other people's questions, he would still answer any questions honestly.

But even so, Fish was not anxious at all. The calming effect brought by the truth serum itself was one aspect, and on the other hand...

"Are you the one who attacked me at the beginning?!" Umbridge asked excitedly.

She stared at Fish, and her eyes even bulged because of too much effort... She looked more like a toad.

The truth serum in the tea was obtained by Umbridge through the Ministry of Magic before she returned to school.

Snape was not found because as the professor of Potions at Hogwarts, he was also one of the important suspects. And Umbridge is now very clear about how popular Fish is in school. If Snape knew that she wanted to use the truth serum against Fish, he would definitely tell Dumbledore.

Ever since Umbridge brought the truth serum to school, she has been looking for an opportunity to use it on Fish, but usually there are a lot of people around Fish, so she can't do it at all. Today, Fish was finally alone, and Umbridge immediately took action.

In response to Umbridge's question, Fish, who was lazily lying on the table, opened his mouth and answered honestly: "Meow~~~"

()

Umbridge: "..."

This is the main reason why Fish is not in a hurry at all. Although he will still tell the truth after drinking the truth serum, he can only speak his "native language", so the cat is not worried about leaking secrets at all.

"Don't pretend to me!" Umbridge jumped and roared: "Tell me! Who attacked me that night?!"

"Meow~Meow~Meow——!"

(`Д)

Fish continued to lie lazily on the table, but the meowing became excited.

"Are you fooling me?!"

Umbridge, who couldn't understand cat language at all, just felt that Fish was provoking her.

And the answer to her was still Fish's meow: "Meow--!"

"I'll warn you for the last time!!!"

Umbridge tried a few more times, but was upset by Fish's meows. In a rage, she pulled out the short and thick wand and pointed at the cat lying limp on the table with a ferocious face to warn.

However, Fish just glanced at her lazily, shook the tip of his tail a little, and still maintained the appearance of a useless cat, lying limply on the table.

In fact, at this time, the effect of the drug on Fish had begun to fade. The cat itself had a high resistance to drugs, and Umbridge also mixed the truth serum in the tea, which further weakened the effect of the drug, so at this time Fish had actually regained control of his body.

But Fish still chose to continue lying down, because he felt that it was very comfortable to lie down lazily like this, and if Umbridge took action first, he would have a reason to beat her again.

Umbridge's expression changed rapidly, and it was obvious that she was in a fierce psychological struggle. After a long while, she still put away her wand with a look of reluctance.

"Meow..."

_(ω"∠)_

Seeing that Umbridge was not going to do anything, Fish's face suddenly showed a bored expression, then he shook his head and continued to lie down.

If Umbridge knew something about the truth serum, she would find that Fish's current state was obviously wrong. This was not a normal performance after drinking the truth serum.

However, Umbridge had already spent all her thoughts on fighting for power and profit. The knowledge she had learned in school had long been returned. What she could show now was a series of spells used to torture people.

"Tell me what happened that night? Stop meowing! Speak English to me!" Umbridge tried again.

If the effect of Fish's medicine had not worn off, the answer she would get would still only be a cat's meow. The effect of the truth serum was not so smart that it could switch languages ​​according to the requirements of the interrogator.

But now, Fish can control what he says, and Umbridge seems not to have noticed this...

"That night, Fish and Hermione went to the Forbidden Forest to play, and rode Buckbeak and the others to fly for a while." The cat continued to lie down, and then imitated Sirius's original appearance, speaking in a flat tone.

In fact, as long as Umbridge is more careful, she can also find that Fish's current tone is obviously different from the previous meow. However, she ignored this and was just excited to finally ask the truth from Fish's mouth. Something happened.

"Did you attack me?!" Umbridge asked excitedly.

"Fish wanted to fight with you, but Minerva and Hermione wouldn't let you," Cat continued to pretend.

Obviously, this answer was not what Umbridge wanted. She then asked: "Then do you know who attacked me? And that damn potion! It was the polyjuice potion you gave me, right? ?”

"I don't know, Meow. When Feishu passed by, you had already turned into a toad and fell there, Meow... Feishu just wanted to fight you, and never thought of turning you into a toad..."

(ω)

Maomao showed some confusion at this time, "You already look like a toad, why does Feishu do this even more?"

Umbridge was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and in her understanding, Fish was now telling the truth under the effect of Veritaserum, so these were the voices of the cat...

Thinking of this, Umbridge was so angry that her lungs almost exploded.

Giving Fish a hard look on his lovely face, Umbridge resisted the thought of pulling out her wand and casting a curse on him, and asked another question: "Who used mine?" The wand cast the Dark Mark?"

If becoming a toad man mainly caused psychological trauma to Umbridge, then the Dark Mark caused substantial damage to her interests.

Because the Dark Mark spell appeared in her wand, the Ministry of Magic's Aurors immediately launched an investigation into Umbridge.

Although the final investigation results proved her innocence, it also revealed many shameful deeds that Umbridge had done in order to climb up the ladder, and that she was not the pure-blood wizard she had always claimed. But she is a mixed-race, and her father is still a nobody, just a janitor at the Ministry of Magic.

Not only did this make Umbridge a laughing stock in the Ministry of Magic, but Fudge's trust in her was also compromised.

If she were not really suitable to come to Hogwarts to be the investigator, and Fudge wanted to show the toughness of the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge would have had to go to the Wizengamot to stand trial after being discharged from the hospital.

However, her current situation is not much better. If she does not make enough progress, after the end of this school year, she will have to go directly to Azkaban to stay, even skipping the trial step.

So really speaking, what Umbridge hated the most was the person who cast the Dark Mark with her wand... although in fact it was only Fish from the beginning to the end.

However, Fei Xu's answer once again disappointed her expectations.

"I don't know, Meow. Fish basically fights with his claws and rarely uses a wand. And Voldemort's mark is not pretty at all, but Fish's cat head is prettier, Meow."

Seeing that Fish couldn't ask anything, Umbridge had no choice but to do the next best thing: "What is Dumbledore planning? Is he planning to form a secret army to fight against the Ministry of Magic?"

"Why did Meow want to form an army? You, Fudge, and those Aurors all look so weak. Fish thinks I can defeat you all by myself, Meow."

Being despised like this by an underage wizard, Umbridge felt a breath trapped in her chest, unable to get up or get down.

"What's the password for the entrance to the principal's office?"

"Unknown to other people, Fish uses the password 'Meow~', which was specially set by Dumbledore for Fish."

"Do you have any hidden secrets?" Umbridge, who was gradually going crazy, no longer knew what to ask, so she could only try her luck with such a broad question.

However, at this time, Maomao gave her a surprise. He said: "Fish has a secret that he has never told anyone. Even Minerva doesn't know about it..."

Umbridge, who had no hope at first and just gave it a try, immediately pricked up her ears and asked excitedly: "What is it?! Tell me quickly!"

"Fish likes to step on the toilet seat and squat to go to the toilet."

(ˇˇ)

Cat told Umbridge her secret with a serious face.

And he didn't lie. Before he became a human, he had always used the toilet like this, so after becoming a human, he didn't change this habit. He even subconsciously did it after using the toilet. A digging motion.

Umbridge: "..."

Not only was she unable to ask anything, but she was constantly being stimulated by Fei Xu, and she was now a little autistic.

Cats are timid animals when they are timid, but when they become curious, they become extremely courageous...

In order to prevent Zhongyuan from hurting himself, I have put away a lot of bits and pieces in my house, otherwise this stupid cat will bite and look at everything, and he may eat something he shouldn't have eaten at any time.

Moreover, when Fish faced Umbridge, a defeated general, he would not be too defensive at all. He would remember to use magic to check whether there was any poison. This was already the result of years of teaching by Professor McGonagall and Hermione.

…

In fact, based on Umbridge's character, she should use Veritaserum to interrogate others. However, in the original book, she seems to have no understanding of Veritaserum, so I followed suit. ┑(￣Д￣)┍
