Chương 339: Chapter 338: Fish has definitely never seen Black Nya! (Edited)
Although the fact that Mr. Headmaster was stalking Fish was a concern, the focus was more on the portrait of the Fat Lady.
Fortunately, soon, Peeves took the initiative to jump in, reported the whereabouts of the Fat Lady, and named the person responsible for destroying the Fat Lady's portrait - Sirius Black.
"Percy, you and the prefects, take all the students back to the Great Dining Hall!"
Dumbledore's eyes sharpened as he quickly ordered, "Severus, go gather the Slytherin students, and Remus, please inform Pomona and Filius, let them bring the students from the other two Houses back to the Great Dining Hall."
Snape and Professor Lupin nodded with serious expressions and quickly left, while Fish and the others followed Percy and the others, exchanging pleasantries as they made their way to the Great Dining Hall.
Ten minutes later, the Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, and Slytherins entered, all looking confused.
"The professors and I need to conduct a full search of the castle."
Dumbledore appeared in the Great Dining Hall with the four deans, and Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick locked all the doors to the Great Dining Hall.
"For your own safety, I'm afraid you will have to spend the night here. I expect the prefects to guard the entrance to the Great Dining Hall, and I have entrusted this responsibility to the male and female prefects. If anything happens, report to me immediately..."
He instructed Percy, who was standing by, "Send a ghost to deliver the message."
With that, Dumbledore turned to the kitten who was standing honestly with the group, eyes wide and sparkling.
"Fish, you're going to come with me for a second."
"Nya?"
⊙ω⊙?
The kitten raised his head in surprise, he was thinking about how he was going to sneak out and catch Black later....
And now Albus had named him?
He wasn't sure what the mean old man intended, but Fish ran to him as he was told.
Dumbledore, with Fish in tow, was about to leave the Great Dining Hall when he suddenly stopped and said, "Oh, by the way, you'll need..."
With a wave of his wand, a long table flew to one side of the Great Dining Hall and was automatically placed against the wall; with another wave, hundreds of soft purple sleeping bags appeared on the floor.
"Sleep well."
After Professor Dumbledore finished speaking, he walked out with Fish and closed the door.
Following Dumbledore out of the Great Dining Hall, Fish saw Professor McGonagall and the three deans standing in the foyer, while the other professors had gone ahead to look for Sirius Black.
"Fish," Dumbledore asked with a serious look on his face as he pulled Fish closer to the professors, "Have you seen any strangers in the school lately?"
After all, Fish had more than one precedent, so there was no way Dumbledore wouldn't confirm with him first.
As soon as the kitten heard that, he understood what Dumbledore was saying....
"Fish isn't stupid nya!"
?(●`Д′●)?
He immediately protested loudly, it's not like he hadn't seen the warrant for Sirius Black's arrest, and he already knew that the other party wanted to murder Harry, so how could he hide his whereabouts from him?
Besides.
"Fish has never seen Black! He was planning to catch him for a reward, so he wouldn't have covered it up!"
?(●`ω′●)?
The kitten swore loudly and emphatically.
"What did you just say, you little rascal?"
Hearing Fish's speech, Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows.
Her right hand shot out like a viper, her pincer-like fingers expertly grasped the cat's ear and....
She gently lifted it up.
"Nya!"
∑(●`Д′●)
The kitten, who realized that he had accidentally slipped his tongue, quickly made amends.
"Fish wants to save more money to buy Minerva a better birthday present next year nya..."
?●ω●?
The kitten hugged Professor McGonagall's arm with his backhand, rubbed his cheek against it as he lifted his head and looked at Professor McGonagall with a pitiful look.
Professor McGonagall knew the kitten was acting up, but she couldn't be bothered to scold it, so she did her best to maintain a stern look and warned, "You must not risk catching Black, and if you find any sign of him, you must tell us at the first opportunity!"
"Understood nya..."
(._.)
The little cat who couldn't become a bounty hunter lowered his head in frustration and replied grumpily, a pair of cat ears drooped listlessly and the tail wagged behind him, reflecting his depressed mood.
At that moment, Dumbledore stepped forward, patted Maomao on the head and said, "Fish, can you help us look for Black? I know you have a sensitive nose."
"No problem nya, Fish is good!".
?(●ΦωΦ●)?
Fish regained his energy in an instant and replied happily.
Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, but did not object to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore had already discussed it with her, and with Fish's restless nature, there was a good chance she would run away and do something in secret.
Instead, it would be better to involve Fish and keep the kitten's activities under her nose, rather than have Fish go off on his own adventures, out of her sight.
"But... Albus, Black seems to have hidden his scent, so Fish probably won't be able to smell anything."
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
Not forgetting the fact that he hadn't noticed anything on the portrait of the Fat Lady, Fish reminded Dumbledore in all seriousness.
"Well, it's actually a very important question."
Dumbledore nodded, looking grave: "How... how did he.... Black... knew that there is a student with a keen sense of smell like Fish in the school?"
"Do you remember the conversation we had, Headmaster, just in...er...before school started?"
Snape's eyes flashed with a grim look.
"Yes, Severus."
Dumbledore replied weakly, then gave Snape a warning look.
Snape didn't stop there, however, and continued with a grim look, "It seems . impossible for Black to sneak into the school without having inside help. Not to mention the fact that he knew of Fish's existence. I expressed my concern, when you specified..."
"I don't think there is anyone in this castle who could help Black get in."
Dumbledore interrupted Snape's chatter, his tone making it clear that the conversation was over.
Snape stopped grimacing, but it was clear that he still held his belief that someone in the school had helped Sirius Black.
It was also clear that the person he identified was Professor Lupin, who was a werewolf and a former friend of Black's.
The other three deans had taught Snape and James Potter's little group, so they all knew who Snape was talking about, but they didn't think Lupin would betray Harry.
The three Deans were the rare wizards who did not discriminate against werewolves and could analyze the issue objectively.
But they were also aware of the enmity between Snape and Lupin and Black, so they said nothing to persuade them, but dispersed silently and began to search for Black.
"Fish, stay with me, don't go anywhere!"
Professor McGonagall dragged the little cat and planned to go upstairs.
"Minerva, wait a minute nya."
The cat went down and managed to stop Professor McGonagall, who then turned his head towards Professor Snape.
"Fish can you follow Severus nya? He doesn't seem to be in a very good mood... Fish would like to keep him company."
?ω?
Professor Snape with a grim face looked stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said bluntly, "No need, I'm fine."
After speaking, he shook out his robes and flew away like a huge bat.
"Good boy," smiled Professor Sprout as she stroked Fish's little head, "Don't take Snape's attitude to heart, he's actually shy."
Professor Flitwick also interjected, "The Snape thing is a bit complicated, it's not something that can be solved right now, it will take some time... probably..."
At that moment, Dumbledore walked over to Fish and said to the cat with a sheepish old man's face, "Actually, Grandpa Albus is in a good mood, why don't you come over and keep Grandpa company?"
"No way."
(?ω?)
The little cat resolutely refused.
