While Fish was rolling around in the Sorting Hat, Dumbledore hurried back.

Although Fish has been given free access to the principal's office, Dumbledore will still be reminded when he enters the principal's office.

Normally, Dumbledore would not have rushed back in such a hurry, but the problem is...

School starts today!

It would be great fun if Fish took away the Sorting Hat and prevented the opening ceremony in the evening.

Although Fish is now much more sensible, he still has a criminal record and Dumbledore had to guard against him.

"Meow~"(=ΦwΦ=)?

Hearing the sound of Dumbledore entering, Fish poked his head out of the Sorting Hat and said hello to him.

"Hello, Fei Xu."

Dumbledore responded with a smile, completely missing his anxious look before.

He walked to the desk, opened the drawer at hand, and as usual took out the pile of cockroaches and distributed them to Fish.

"Come and have some snacks, I have plenty more."

"Meow!"

Fish immediately jumped out of the Sorting Hat, slapped the pile of cockroaches in Dumbledore's hand onto the table with one paw, watched them paddling their six legs and fled around, then held them down with one paw, dragged them back, and then

open.

After several repetitions, the piles of cockroaches were tossed until they stopped moving, and Feishu picked them up, put them in his mouth and chewed them.

After patiently watching Fish eat the pile of cockroaches, Dumbledore asked: "Why are you free to come to my place today?"

Fish turned into a cat-like form and sat cross-legged on the table. He picked up the Sorting Hat and put it on his head. He replied: "I came to play with Fox and the Sorting Hat tonight."

Feishu shouldn’t be able to attend the sorting ceremony, right?”

He still remembered that when school started last year, the senior students did not sit together with the freshmen, but sat in the auditorium early, and only a small group of them went up to wear the sorting hat.

"I see."

Dumbledore was very relieved. Fish obviously didn't plan to cause trouble at tonight's opening ceremony. It seemed that Professor McGonagall's education was quite effective.

So he took out more snacks and gave them to Fish, while chatting nonchalantly.

"Did you have fun during the summer vacation?"

"Happy meow! It's just that the time is too short, Albus, can't you book a longer vacation, meow?"?w?

"Hahahaha! This is not possible, even though I had the same idea as you when I was a student."

"Aren't you the principal, meow? Fish already knows that the principal means that this school is your territory, meow."

"Oh, there are still some differences..."

Dumbledore, who had long thought of grooming Fish as his successor, took the opportunity to explain to him the operation of the entire school and the concept of the school board of directors.

Of course, Feishu was not interested at all.

"Then you are really boring to be the principal." Fei Xu, who had been fumbling here and there during the process, commented with disdain at the end: "You actually have to do so many boring things.

."

"Compared to most other professions, being the principal of Hogwarts is already a very interesting thing." Dumbledore was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time to slowly interest Fish. "For example, in this process

I can meet cute and interesting students like you, Feixu."

"But Feixu is obviously the cat who was captured by you!" (??v?v??)

Feishu suddenly remembered the time he was bullied by the bad old man in front of him, and immediately stood up from the table and bared his teeth at him.

"You bad old man, you must be trying to deceive Fei Xu meow again! Fei Xu will not be fooled!"? (●ΦДΦ●)?

After saying that, he jumped off the table and ran out the door...with the Sorting Hat still on his head.

"Sigh... Children nowadays think so fast... I can't keep up with my old age..."

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, then moved his fingers slightly, and the Sorting Hat on Fish's head flew back into his hand.

After Feishu left, the group of principals who were pretending to be asleep opened their eyes one after another and began to express their opinions.

Mainly Phineas, the only Slytherin headmaster, had strong objections to Dumbledore's choice of successor, and had always wanted to persuade other headmasters to oppose Dumbledore's actions.

However, most of the other principals held an indifferent attitude. A few, such as Delis Derwent, who valued Fish's special spells, were very supportive of Dumbledore's idea.

After Dumbledore retorted Phineas speechlessly again, he saw that it was almost time for lunch, so he left the office and went to the auditorium on the first floor.

At this time, there were already several people sitting in the auditorium. Because there were not many people, everyone did not sit in their respective seats as usual, but sat at the same long table.

Fish, who was most active in eating, was naturally there, along with Professor McGonagall and the deans of the other three colleges, who also came to the school in advance to make preparations.

In addition, there are school employees such as Hagrid, Filch, Madam Pince and Madam Pomfrey and some professors who usually live in Hogwarts.

In addition to these familiar faces, there is also a relatively unfamiliar handsome blond guy, Gilderoy Lockhart, the newly hired Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year.

At this time, he was talking endlessly, completely ignoring the disgusted expressions of others around him, and his body movements and facial expressions were very exaggerated, looking like an actor in a stage play.

Fish sat with great interest and listened to Lockhart's bragging, and was made to laugh by his expressions and actions from time to time.

Professor McGonagall had a complicated expression and hesitated to speak, fearing that her little cat would be led astray by Lockhart.

Although Professor McGonagall has slightly changed his opinion of Lockhart because of the books he wrote, his vanity and vanity have not changed at all. Professor McGonagall does not want Fish to become like Lockhart in the future.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It looks like everyone is here," Lockhart's speech was interrupted by Dumbledore's arrival. He looked around with a smile, and then

Said: "Then let's have dinner."

Following Dumbledore's order, the house elves placed the already prepared lunch on the table, but several of the dishes were of obviously different styles, and they were all concentrated in front of Fish.

"Oh? Chinese food?"

The well-informed Dumbledore recognized the completely different styles of food on the table at a glance. He licked his lips and said with emotion: "I haven't eaten Chinese food for many years. I remember the last time I tasted them, it was...

This happened more than forty years ago."

At this time, Lockhart found another topic to show off.

"Oh, Chinese food, this is good food," he said with a smile, showing his white teeth: "If you have read my book "A Year with the Tibetan Snowman", you will know that I was traveling in Asia.

I have been here for a long time and have tasted a lot of Chinese food..."

He told how he hunted a vulture and traded it with the Tibetans for yak meat and kumiss.

However, what Lockhart didn't know was that the vulture was a sacred bird in Tibet, and if he really did this, he would only be beaten out.

Fortunately, everyone here except Dumbledore is not familiar with these things, so no one can expose him.

"Well, Girod," Dumbledore once again interrupted Lockhart's bragging, "it's better to keep quiet while you enjoy the food."

His voice was not loud, but it succeeded in making Lockhart shut up.

However, Dumbledore did not stay quiet as he said. He murmured in confusion: "When did the elf in our school learn to cook Chinese food?"

"Komi made it for Fish! Sister Jiuyue gave me the recipe, meow!"?(●ΦwΦ●)?

Fish twitched his cat ears and replied proudly, while Professor McGonagall quietly explained what happened to Dumbledore.

"That's right," Dumbledore touched his beard and said cheerfully: "How about we let the students taste the exotic flavors at today's dinner."

Just as Professor McGonagall thought, Dumbledore, who was rich and wealthy, did not care about the food expenses. He directly replaced part of the dinner food with a wave of his hand.

This is still taking into account that some students may not be used to Chinese food, otherwise they would really like to have a purely Chinese dinner.

Of course, Fish was indifferent to Dumbledore's decision. Comey would give him some advice anyway.

After lunch, Fish did not leave with Hagrid to play in the Forbidden Forest. Instead, he stayed in the hall, continued to listen to Lockhart's bragging, and asked him about the contents of the textbook from time to time...

Professor McGonagall began to regret why she had read Lockhart's story to Fish.

After Lockhart discovered that Fish was actually his loyal reader, he boasted even more vigorously. He made up his own fantasy experiences with spitting words, which made Fish's eyes light up.

Now Professor McGonagall regretted it even more. If the previous seven books had made her change her opinion of Lockhart, then his boasts now made Professor McGonagall sober up again.

Because there were some very low-level flaws in what he just said. They were not at the level of Lockhart in the book, but they were in line with Professor McGonagall's long-held view of him...

So there must be something wrong with the content of those books!

Although she didn't know what was going on, Professor McGonagall didn't intend to let Lockhart continue to torture her cat. Just when she was about to step forward and drag Fish away...

"Girod, you are so awesome, meow!" (●?w?●)

Fish looked at Lockhart with twinkling eyes, his tail swishing rapidly behind him.

Professor McGonagall, who was still looking sad at first, was slightly startled when he saw this and stopped.

Professor McGonagall, who had been inseparable from cats since childhood and later adopted Fish for three years, naturally did not misunderstand that Fish wagging his tail was expressing his love for Lockhart.

Gradually, a meaningful smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's face.
