"Nya?"
?w?
Fish, who was in the foyer with Mrs. Black, turned his head to look into the house, and the cat ears on him twitched slightly.
"Something's wrong, I think."
(???ˇ?ˇ???)
Fish looked solemnly down the inner corridor and said confidently.
"Is the Dark Lord attacking?" Walburga asked with a frown.
Voldemort's ideas were very favorable to purebloods, but then his methods were so violent, and her favorite son, Regulus, had most likely died at his hands, that Mrs. Black had very mixed feelings about the Dark Lord.
"I don't know..." Fish flapped his ears again, listening intently, "It seems to be a problem on Harry's part.... " He leapt up from the floor and ran inside.
"Fish is going to check it out, I'll be back for your story next time nya!".
??w??)?
Watching Fish leave, Mrs. Blake was stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.
Mrs. Black was not interested in Harry Potter, the man who had defeated the Dark Lord and was Sirius' godson... He was a mere half-blood, and even if he had defeated the Dark Lord, the eternally pure Black family didn't care.
As for one Riddle, a half-blood wizard who wished to remain anonymous....
Not many people actually knew anything about him, even Voldemort found out his lineage around the time he graduated. Until then, Voldemort and his followers at the school had assumed he was a pureblood.
It was only natural that Voldemort, for all his ingenuity, would have hidden his Muggle heritage when he realized it.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to recruit so many followers. After Voldemort's rise to power, even if the Death Eaters knew of his Muggle heritage, they would not have been tempted to betray him.
But Voldemort had always been ashamed of his Muggle heritage,
Voldemort had always been ashamed of his Muggle heritage, which was why he had said nothing about it.
"What's wrong with Harry?!" Fish ran up to the room where the Order of the Phoenix used to meet and burst through the door. "Is Voldemort doing it? Is there a fight? Take Fish with you!"
?(??w??)?
Fish, who was already tired of planting flowers, shouted excitedly.
In the meeting room, Sirius and the others watched Fish's sudden entrance and were unable to react for a while.
It was a while before Lupin patted his head and said, "We were so worried about George and Fred that we forgot about Fish...he has good hearing."
It wasn't really their fault for overlooking Fish, because before this, Fish wasn't interested in what they were dealing with at the meeting, so they didn't think to protect themselves from Fish.
But this time was different, it was about Harry, and there might be a fight, so Fish wasn't as unconcerned as before.
"Fish, unfortunately Harry is already safe, the Dementors that attacked Harry have been eliminated by himself." Sirius shrugged, gloating that he still held a grudge against Fish for preferring his brother.
"Oh, and by the way, I'm told that the cats and dogs you've put in to protect Harry have been a great help." Sirius continued to irritate Fish.
However, Fish didn't care, two Dementors, even if they were brought to him to fight, Fish wasn't interested in them...they were too weak for Fish.
So instead, Fish was glad that his friends could help, and said with a happy face, "Is that so nya? Are Harry and them okay? Fish will write to Comey later and ask him to bring more goodies to thank him."
(?`?′?)
Sirius felt guilty about how Fish was behaving, rubbed his nose in embarrassment and began to answer Fish's question truthfully.
"No, no, Dementor powers don't have much effect on animals, they're all safe... but word just came from Arthur that the Ministry of Magic has just issued a notice that Harry has violated the Law of Secrecy and is going to be tried in a few days, which is what we're discussing. "
Mundungus had informed Dumbledore and had rushed back to Privet Drive to continue protecting Harry, so they had received the news from Mr. Weasley, who worked at the Ministry of Magic.
"Bloody Mundungus, how dare he leave the job Dumbledore gave him!". Mrs. Weasley, like Mrs. Figg, had a strong opinion of Mundungus, who had gone AWOL.
"We can talk about Mundungus later, the topic at hand is Harry's trial." Lupin reassured Mrs. Weasley and then said, "Let's wait patiently for Dumbledore to hear from him, I'm sure he'll know how to sort it out, there's no point in us being anxious now."
(?w?)
Fish was disappointed to see that there was no more fighting.
And Sirius and the others started talking about something they weren't interested in... and it wasn't funny.
But Fish didn't leave right away, he stayed in the meeting room with everyone else, waiting for news from Dumbledore....
What if there was another fight?
While the group waited, several more members of the Order of the Phoenix arrived, including familiar faces like Moody and Tonks.
Of course, the final straw was that Professor McGonagall, who had gone to Hogwarts for the day to take care of school business, had also returned.
"Minerva~"
?●w●?
Fish, who was fiddling with his tail bored, pounced on Professor McGonagall as soon as he noticed her arrival.
"How's it going?"
Professor McGonagall asked the others as she rubbed Fish's head.
"Before I arrived, Dumbledore was arguing with Minister Fudge, who disagreed with the Ministry's expulsion of Harry from school." Tonks replied, "Fudge had a sullen look on his face, he seemed to want to go against Dumbledore."
"Hmph!" said Moody with a contemptuous pursing of his lips, "He'll give in, Fudge has never been a tough guy."
It was as he had predicted, and shortly thereafter, Dumbledore returned with the latest news....
The Ministry had temporarily withdrawn its decision to expel Harry and confiscate his wand, but he still had to appear before the Ministry on August 12 for a final trial.
"Fudge is trying to get me to retract my claim that Voldemort is back," sighed Dumbledore, shaking his head, "He's too blinded by power to make a proper judgment."
After a few moments of lamentation, he quickly began assigning tasks to the members of the Order of the Phoenix, he had decided to bring Harry over from the Dursleys, but they would have to plan it well to avoid any run-ins with the Ministry and prevent trouble along the way.
"Fish is going to bring Harry too!"
?(?ΦwΦ?)?
Fish offered, jumping up and down and shouting.
And then Professor McGonagall turned him down mercilessly.
"No! Stay here! Don't go anywhere!" she bellowed, folding her arms.
"Why nya?!" Fish was very unconvinced, "Fish can defeat Voldemort! Bringing Fish will do wonders!"
?(? `w′?)?
Professor McGonagall was about to say something, when Dumbledore took the floor.
"Fish is right, Minerva." He smiled, "Things will go much better with Fish around."
Even Professor Moody nodded, "And isn't Fish able to communicate with animals? He's a great help in getting information."
"And with his affinity at the Ministry of Magic, he'll be able to help in case someone comes and interferes, or any other unexpected situation." Lupin joined in, scrambling for Fish.
"You can let Fish out, he's been in here so long he's suffocating." Sirius said empathetically.
Professor McGonagall was silent for a moment before nodding reluctantly: "Okay."
Fish: "Yes!"
?(?≧?≦?)?
After Fish perked up, he heard Professor McGonagall speak again, "But..."
