After a lot of trouble, the group finally got out of the car, joined the five in the other car, and entered King's Cross station with a bunch of luggage.
"This station is much bigger than Hogsmeade nya!"
(●?ω?●)
Fish exclaimed as he turned his head and looked at the huge King's Cross station.
"Of course, there are still very few wizards in England compared to Muggles."
As a member of the Ministry of Magic's Office for the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, Mr. Weasley had a lot to say on the subject of Muggles.
As the group talked, they soon arrived between platforms nine and ten.
The normal procedure would have been to throw themselves at the wall between the two platforms without the Muggles noticing, which everyone except Fish had done before, and it would have been a simple affair.
But today was a different story, because even without his cat ears and tail, Fish was still very attractive, and the Muggles around him couldn't help but turn their heads and look at the cute cat, so there were a few Muggles who bumped into the wall or into people.
The Ministry and Hogwarts had cast a spell here, a sort of weakened version of the muggle repelling spell, which didn't keep muggles away from the area, but made them oblivious to anything unusual in the area.
But not so much that Muggles would also ignore platforms 9 and 10.
As a result, the Muggles who should have ignored them continued to watch them as Fish stood between the two platforms.
With a group of Muggles watching them, it was impossible for them to sneak onto platform nine and three-quarters without making noise.
"This is troublesome..."
Mr. Weasley scratched his sparse red hair with a bit of a headache.
And Fish, still unaware of what was happening, tugged on Fred's arm and asked curiously: "Where is platform nine and three-quarters? Fish only sees platforms nine and ten meow."
"Fish, you and Percy go to a deserted corner, Fish, first transform back into a cat and then hide in Percy's arms so he can take you to the station with him, otherwise we won't be able to avoid those muggles."
Mr. Weasley thought for a moment and then said this to Fish.
"All right, nya!"
?(●ΦωΦ●)?
Fish and Percy separated from the group first, while the others took the opportunity to walk through the walls of platforms nine and ten and enter platform nine and three-quarters first.
Fish and Percy wandered around the area and made their way to the cubicle in the station bathroom, where Fish turned into a small black-footed cat and slipped into Percy's pocket in the cubicle next door.
Percy then walked through the wall with Fish in his pocket.
As soon as Percy was through the wall, Fish came out of his pocket and landed on the floor in his cat-man form.
"Hello, nya! It's been a long time."
?(●ΦωΦ●)?
Fish waved to the students boarding the train, and only then did everyone realize that Fish was actually on the Hogwarts Express this year.
"Ahhh! It's Fiah!".
The boys merely smiled and waved at Fish, but the girls were less reserved, leaving their bags and parents behind and lashing out at the group, instantly pushing the Weasleys and Harry away.
"Fish, why did you come to take the train this year?"
"Do you want something to eat?"
"Come on, let me touch your ears!"
"It's been a long summer, I've missed you so much!"
A group of crazy little witches gathered around the poor kitten and began to move their hands and feet.
?(●`Д′●)?
The kitten waved his hands and struggled, but after a few moments of fighting, Fish finally gave in and let the crazy girls have their way.
I'm already a ruined cat.jpg
"Don't crowd around here, the train's about to leave, everybody get on the train!"
Percy, Prefect badge on his chest, shouted loudly out of the crowd.
The little witches surrounding Fish calmed down, then reluctantly withdrew their hands and invited Fish to join them on the train.
"No, Minerva said he should go with the Weasleys."
(`ω′′≡`ω′)
Fish declined with a shake of his head.
Not that the kitten was really that obedient, but the Weasleys were much more normal than those crazy girls.
"Come on, stop picking on Fish, we'll see him at school anyway."
Just then, Miss Sharpay stepped forward and led a group of Gryffindor girls to chase the other witches away, and Percy's girlfriend Penelope helped with a few Ravenclaws.
With the help of the "Prefects," the area around Fish was finally cleared.
"If only they were all like Hermione and Ginny, nya."
?(●`ω′●)?
The kitten grumbled at the two little witches next to her as he ran his hands through his messy hair.
"Well, and Luna, she doesn't go that crazy either nya."
Hearing this, Ginny's lips twitched slightly.
She was the same age as Luna, and she had seen Luna's strange behavior in her classes with the Ravenclaw's.
If the Ravenclaw girls knew that Fish thought that "crazy girl" Luna was more normal than they were, and they would definitely feel very complicated....
Ginny thought with some mischief.
Before boarding the train, Mrs. Weasley pulled the children in for hugs and kisses, then sent them to an empty carriage at the end of the bus with instructions to be safe.
As Mr. Weasley dragged Harry behind a station pillar and whispered something to him, it was only when the train horn sounded and began to move slowly that Harry hurried aboard.
"Harry, that Sirius Black that got away, has he come to see you?"
No matter how low Mr. Weasley's voice was, it still couldn't escape Fish's ears. When Harry jumped onto the train, he immediately grabbed Harry and began questioning him.
"What?!"
Ron, Ginny and Hermione looked on nervously.
"Shhh..."
Harry looked to his left and right, made sure no one else was around to hear, tilted his head towards the back of the carriage and whispered: "Let's go somewhere to talk alone."
"Uh... but Fish wants to find that food cart nya..."
(●Φ﹃Φ●)
When he first entered the Nine and Three Quarters Station, Fish became a black-footed cat for a while and although he hadn't moved much, his stomach still felt a bit empty, plus the kitten was curious about this new "food supply", so he wanted to go to it as soon as he got on the train.
"I'll go with Fish to the cart then, we'll come back later."
Hermione didn't hesitate to choose the cat, while Ginny hesitated between Harry and Fish and decided to follow Harry...
After all, Harry was in a life-threatening situation and she was more concerned about him.
Once the group was divided, Fish and Hermione made their way to the front compartment, and since most of the compartments had their doors closed, there was no more commotion on the way.
When they reached the middle carriage, they finally encountered the trolley witch, who had stopped at the door of one of the compartments to hand out snacks to the young wizard inside.
"It's Daphne and Pansy nya," Fish confirmed with a shrug of his nose: "There's also Millicent and an unknown smell, must be a new student this year nya...".
Hearing Millicent and Tina's names, Hermione couldn't help but twist her lips....
It is because of this person and her cat that she became a "cat-woman" at Christmas last year. Fortunately, as far as the end result is concerned, it's still pretty good.
But still, Hermione wasn't really looking forward to meeting the Slytherin students, who were the complete antithesis of each other, both in terms of house and blood.
But Fish had no such scruples and ran dragging Hermione straight in.
