Chapter 341: Chapter 340: I fight and swear at night, but I'm a good cat (Edited).
For the next few days, there was only one topic of conversation in the entire school, and that was Sirius Black. The stories about how he broke into the castle got stranger and stranger ...
Hannah Abbott, from Hufflepuff, went so far as to swear to everyone that Blake would turn into a flowering bush.
Of course, not many people would believe her wild speculations.
Then there was the Fat Lady, who had been in charge of the Gryffindor dormitory and was currently in residence with the other portraits, while the torn portrait belonging to the Fat Lady had been dismantled and would take some time to repair.
Dumbledore had trouble finding a replacement.
All the other portraits were horrified by what had happened to the Fat Lady, and no one would guard the entrance to the Gryffindor common room in her place... except Sir Cadogan, an old friend of Fish's who always drove a short, fat, grey stallion.
Dumbledore had no choice but to move Sir Cadogan's portrait to the Gryffindor common room.
However, to his surprise, Sir Cadogan's first day as Gryffindor porter caused quite a mess....
After taking Sir Cadogan's portrait to the entrance of the Gryffindor dormitory, Professor McGonagall asked Percy to take the group to meet each other and determine the next password.
Then, upon seeing Sir Cadogan, the kitten suddenly jumped up.
"Nyajajajajaja, hello, you cheap tin can!"
?(●ΦωΦ●)?
Under the horrified and angry eyes of Professor McGonagall and the other girls, Fish deftly greeted him in a vulgar manner.
"Hahaha, so it's you, you vile cat bastard!"
Sir Cadogan spoke with the same vulgarity, and raised his spear, thrusting it at Fish outside the portrait.
"Let's fight! Continue the fight we left unfinished! I'll hang your corpse on the point of my spear!"
"You can't hit Fish, you dumb shit!"
?(●ΦωΦ●)?
"You vile thief, you cowardly coward! Your insult to the gentleman, needs to be paid for in blood...."
"Fish McGonagall!!!"
Before Sir Cadogan's portrait could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by an angry Professor McGonagall.
"Where did you learn to say that?!"
With a fierce expression on her face, Professor McGonagall took a few steps closer to the kitten scolding Sir Cadogan and grabbed him by the cheeks.
"Nya!"
?(●`Д′●)?
Fish bowed his head to ease the pain on his face as he waved his hands for mercy, "Minerva let go nya! Fish is dying in pain!"
"Say it! Since when did you learn to swear?"
After twisting the little cat's face again, Professor McGonagall let go and asked viciously.
"What's a swear word? Fish doesn't know..."
(●`ω′′(ヾ)
Fish rubbed his flushed cheeks and asked in confusion.
Professor McGonagall frowned, her voice softening slightly, and said, "That's what you just said."
"Nya? That's what Fish learned with the can..."
Fish pointed his finger at Sir Cadogan in the portrait and told the story of how he had learned to swear.
"Fish was playing in the castle when he came across this can, and somehow it made Fish fight with him, and he couldn't get out himself, and he was always saying strange things to Fish.... Fish didn't know what they meant, but he didn't think they were good, so I followed his lead and talked to him like that."
After the little cat finished talking, he bowed his head and asked in confusion, "Minerva, are they bad words nya? What do bad words mean? Is it some kind of curse nya?"
?ω?
Because of Fish's special affinity, even when Voldemort's diary was having a nervous breakdown, he would only say nasty curses, after all, as a Dark Lord and a descendant of Slytherin, Voldemort kept his manners in check most of the time.
It was unlikely that Professor McGonagall would tell Fish what swearing was, so even after all his time in human society, the kitten's concept of swearing was still very vague.
"Swearing is a very bad and rude way of speaking, and only rude and uneducated people use them all the time."
As she explained to Fish what a swear word was, Professor McGonagall looked at Sir Cadogan in the portrait with an ugly expression, and the little witches beside her also had hateful expressions.
Sir Cadogan, who was not very clear-headed and always had a reputation for bravery, had no choice but to give in to the situation, but made a show of not bothering to argue with Professor McGonagall, cocking his head to one side and muttering something under his breath.
Even Fish's sensitive ear could only faintly pick up a few words like "man," "woman," and "chivalry."
"Anyway, don't say that again, it's not something a good boy should know."
Professor McGonagall looked at Fish solemnly and emphasized each word.
"Oh..."
?ω?
The kitten nodded in confusion, he wasn't used to saying such things anyway, only in front of Sir Cadogan, and since Professor McGonagall didn't like it, he wouldn't say it.
After reprimanding Fish, Professor McGonagall turned to Sir Cadogan's portrait.
"Sir Cadogan, I do not wish to interfere with your personal preferences, but.... I do not wish to hear any more of your inane remarks about my son, nor about my students."
Professor McGonagall sternly warned, "Or I won't mind learning from Sirius Black and doing something to your canvas!"
"A brave knight is never threatened! I've never even feared a bipedal flying dragon!"
Sir Cadogan barked at Professor McGonagall with his lance held high, but soon turned the tables and said, "But a fair knight would not refuse the request of a mother and a teacher," he raised his lance and saluted Professor McGonagall in a somewhat comical manner, "So, your request is granted. "
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, nodded slightly and then turned to Percy, Sharpay and the others, "If there are any problems, remember to notify me in good time."
Sir Cadogan was a well-known figure in the wizarding world, there were even sayings about him, so Professor McGonagall didn't take his promise to heart, she just didn't make it obvious outside of her personal training.
And Percy and Sharpay, knowing what Professor McGonagall was referring to, agreed without hesitation.
Sir Cadogan's portrait did not hear Professor McGonagall's subtext and, waving his lance wildly, shouted, "With me, Sir Cadogan, no intruder shall be spared!"
But because he had taught Fish to misbehave, none of the Gryffindor students wanted to talk to him.
And in the days that followed, everyone's opinion of Sir Cadogan grew stronger....
Sir Cadogan's habit of provoking people to duel him did not change, although he refrained from doing so verbally, much to the crowd's chagrin.
Moreover, he was always coming up with ridiculously complicated phrases and changing them at least twice a day, forcing Neville, who was already prone to forgetting them, to write down all the week's phrases on a long piece of paper.
"He's gone completely mad," Seamus Finnigan said to Percy in exasperation, "Can't someone else do it?"
"If you can find another portrait that will take the job."
Percy shrugged helplessly, as he too was fed up with the madman.
