"Meow?"?w?

The kitten, who was listening to a story in Professor McGonagall's office, raised her head again and looked at the ceiling.

"what happened again?"

Professor McGonagall frowned and also looked upward.

The twins have already made preparations and are unlikely to run around now. Which student sneaked out and ran around after attending the dinner party before they had enough fun?

Just when Professor McGonagall was about to question Fish carefully, he jumped off Professor McGonagall's legs first and immediately transformed back into the cat-man form after landing.

"Minerva! It's Argus's cry, meow!"

Fish shook his ears and shouted nervously: "It seems something happened to Loris!"

(●ΦДΦ●)

After saying that, he ran out of the office.

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up and followed out. However, Fish's speed was too fast. By the time she walked out of the office, Fish could no longer be seen.

But Fish was looking at the ceiling just now, so Professor McGonagall didn't need to think too much and walked directly upstairs.

"It's you! You killed my cat!" Argus grabbed Harry and Ron's collars one by one and shook them wildly, "I'm going to kill you! Avenge Loris!"

Harry swore that he had never seen such a vicious side of Filch...even though he had always been synonymous with fear and disgust in the minds of all students except Fish.

"We didn't... it was already like this when we came here!"

Harry and Ron, who were frightened by Filch's expression, trembled in defense. Unfortunately, Filch had lost his mind at this time and couldn't listen to what they said.

Just when Filch's movements became larger and larger, and was about to hurt Harry and Ron, Fish, who had been running all the way, finally arrived.

"Argus! What's wrong with Loris?!"

Fish hurriedly ran to the three of them, and without waiting for their answers, he already saw Mrs. Norris hanging on the torch.

"Meow!"∑(●`Д′●)

The hair on the tail exploded instantly, and Fish jumped up to the wall in the blink of an eye and took off the hanging Mrs. Norris.

"My poor Mrs. Norris..."

After Fish arrived, Filch finally calmed down a little. He pushed Harry and Ron away and moved closer to Fish. Looking at the stiff Mrs. Norris, he finally couldn't help covering his face and howling.

burst into tears.

"What happened?"

Professor McGonagall finally arrived in a hurry, along with Lockhart, who heard the noise, and a small number of students who sneaked out to wander around.

However, after they saw Professor McGonagall, they quickly ran away, and Professor McGonagall didn't have time to pay attention to these students who violated school rules.

"professor!"

Filch wiped the tears on his face carelessly, then pointed at Harry and Ron and cried and complained: "It's them! They killed my cat!"

"we do not have……"

Harry retorted dryly.

Professor McGonagall glanced at him and Ron, and then at Mrs. Norris who was being held by Fish.

"Don't worry, let's find a place first, and then you can slowly explain what happened."

"Go to my place!" Lockhart volunteered and stood up. "My office is closest to here, just downstairs!"

Glancing at Lockhart with a frown, Professor McGonagall nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, Professor Lockhart."

Although I don't like him very much, now is obviously not the time to care about this.

"You take them there first, I'm going to inform Dumbledore."

"Don't bother, Minerva."

Dumbledore walked out from the corner with a serious expression, followed by Snape with an equally serious expression behind him.

Dumbledore first glanced at the writing on the wall with his blue eyes. After a moment of silence, he moved his gaze to the motionless Mrs. Norris in Fish's arms.

"Such a serious thing has happened. I can't stay in my office anymore."

He nodded calmly towards Lockhart, "Then, let's go to Gilderoy first."

"I'll lead the way!"

Lockhart looked very excited. He walked at the front with great dignity, leading everyone to his office.

Fish, who was holding Mrs. Norris, narrowed his eyes...

He suddenly began to dislike Lockhart a little bit.

Several people walked into Lockhart's office. The walls were covered with his photos. Except for a few Lockharts with curlers who hid in panic, the other Lockharts showed their faces.

The iconic smile.

As the real Lockhart lit the candle, Dumbledore took Lady Norris from Fish's hand, placed it on the table, and then explored it carefully.

Professor McGonagall knelt down, put his arms around Fish, who was in a depressed mood, and patted his head gently.

"Don't worry, Fish, Albus will definitely be able to find a way."

"But..." Feishu pursed her lips, drooped her ears, and said in a tearful tone: "There is no life in Loris's body..."

(._.)

When Filch heard this, he cried sadly again. He slumped down on a chair, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed loudly, not daring to look at Mrs. Norris on the table.

"It must have been killed by a spell - probably the Transformation Torture Curse. I've seen people use this spell many times. It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time. I happened to know the solution to the curse and could have saved it...

…”

Lockhart kept hovering around Dumbledore, chattering away with suggestions.

As he spoke, the pictures of Lockhart on the wall all nodded in agreement.

Although what he said seemed to be pity for Mrs. Loris, for some reason Fish felt very uncomfortable listening to it...

So the kitten frowned and looked at Lockhart, who was still chatting there, and its tail behind him swung involuntarily a few times.

?︿?

"It's not dead, Argus."

After finally finishing the examination, Dumbledore straightened up and spoke softly, causing Lockhart, who was still bragging about how many murders he had prevented, to stop instantly.

"It was just petrified," Dumbledore explained.

"Ah! I think so too!"

Lockhart immediately responded, but no one paid attention to him at this time.

"All petrified?" Fish rushed to the table and looked at Dumbledore doubtfully, "But Fish has seen people who were hit by this trick before, and they were all still alive."

"It's not a common petrification spell like petrifying everything, but a very advanced black magic."

Dumbledore frowned, "But I don't know exactly what happened..."

Fish tried to throw a rejuvenation spell at Mrs. Loris, but it had no effect. However, with this spell, he did feel an extremely weak breath of life.

"Loris is really not dead, meow!"

(●ΦwΦ●)

Fish's ears immediately pricked up again, and he quickly pressed his entire face to Mrs. Norris's body, feeling it carefully again.

"I feel her breath of life, although it's very little, but Loris is really still alive, meow!"

He turned his head and shouted happily to Filch and Professor McGonagall.

In addition to being happy that Mrs. Norris is not dead, Fish is also happy that...this matter has nothing to do with Ouroboros.

He thought Mrs. Norris was dead before, but he immediately thought of what Kanaroa once said to him, that ordinary creatures will die when they see the eyes of the basilisk.

The reason why Fish has been in a low mood is not only because he is sad about the death of his good friend, but also because he is struggling with whether to tell the story about Ouroboros.

Now that Mrs. Norris is not dead, it means that Ouroboros did not do it, and Dumbledore just said that this is a profound black magic, so it is even less likely that Ouroboros did it.

…

It doesn't even have hands, so it can't hold a wand.
