Chapter 558： On trial

Harry hasn't had his leaves for two days. He has just gotten used to how to talk and eat normally with something in his mouth. Before he knows it, August 12 is approaching.

Tomorrow, he will have to go to the Ministry of Magic to stand trial to decide whether he can continue to study at Hogwarts and whether, like Hagrid, he will no longer be allowed to use his wand.

When Harry heard Ginny remind him of this, he was actually a little stunned...

In the past few days, either busy cleaning, or practicing how to eat and talk with leaves, Harry completely forgot about the trial.

"I've ironed your best clothes for you to put on tomorrow morning, Harry, and I hope you'll wash your hair tonight. A good first impression works wonders."

Mrs. Weasley whispered to Harry at supper.

Although her tone has been as gentle as possible, the content of her words is still like a brick, and Harry's heart is heavy.

Especially after knowing that Dumbledore came to this house last night, but did not want to come to see him, but only warned Sirius not to go with him, Harry's already terrible mood became even worse. .

"It's great... Harry can skip class and homework meow..."

Ψ(?Φ~Φ?) ie

Fish sighed enviously while biting at the ribs.

"Then you can't be like Hagrid, go to the forbidden forest to play every day, meow."

For Maomao, not having to go to school is something he can’t ask for. As for confiscating his wand, it’s not that important. Anyway, he is more used to using his claws when fighting, but it’s a little troublesome that he can’t summon the Patronus. .

"Eat your meal!"

Hearing Fisher's heartless remarks, Professor McGonagall glared at the little skin cat and scolded.

"Ow~"

Ψ(?`o'?) ie

Fei Xu agreed, then obediently stopped talking, and continued to eat the ribs on his plate.

However, after such an interruption from Mao Mao, Harry's mood improved a little.

Because one of his biggest worries before was that after he was fired and his wand was confiscated, he had to leave the wizarding world and return to Privet Drive to live with the Dursleys.

However, Fish's words just reminded Harry that Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts and his wand was confiscated by the Ministry of Magic. Isn't he still working at Hogwarts now?

After thinking about this, Harry is finally not as restless as before...

Of course, he is still in a bad mood. After all, if possible, Harry still hopes that he can keep his wand and study at Hogwarts with everyone.

Even if all subjects are taught by Snape in the future, he will recognize it!

The next morning, Harry, who had been restless, woke up early and walked gently down the stairs, past the heads of Kreacher's ancestors, and into the kitchen below.

He thought there was no one in the kitchen, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard low voices coming from behind the door. He pushed open the door and saw Mr. Weasley, Mrs. Weasley, Sirius, Lupin and Tonks all sitting there as if they were waiting for him.

And not long after, Professor Fish and McGonagall also walked in.

"Huh? Harry, you're awake too, meow."

(?ΦwΦ?)?

Fish greeted him cheerfully, then hopped to the table and sat down.

"What do you want, Fish? Minerva?" Mrs. Weasley asked loudly. "Porridge? Muffins? Smoked fish? Ham and eggs? Bread?"

"Fix wants porridge and smoked fish! And ham and eggs, meow!"

Ψ(?≧?≦?)

Cat Mao shouted with a knife and fork in the air.

And Professor McGonagall sat down beside him, then nodded to Mrs Weasley: "Bring me a muffin, Molly."

After a while, Mrs. Weasley brought the breakfast for the two of them, and the cat, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately waved the knife and fork in her hand and chewed at her desk.

"Professor McGonagall?"

Although still worried about the future interrogation of the Ministry of Magic, Harry can't help but be curious...

It's rare to see Fish getting up so early!

"It's the second phase of the Animagus."

Professor McGonagall's words made Harry instantly understand what was going on.

After having enough leaves for a month, in addition to having to bottle the leaves in the prepared potion on the day of the full moon, you will then need to point your wand at yourself every sunrise and sunset until the storm comes. heart and recite the mantra.

"Today is the third day that Fei Xu got up early, meow!"

Ψ(?`~'?) ie

Fish chewed the ham in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Fish didn't feel the second heartbeat that Minerva said!"

Obviously, the cat is still a little resentful about getting up early.

"It's only been three days, it's normal to not feel it, and different people have different times for the second heartbeat. This has nothing to do with the level of mana and talent."

Professor McGonagall reassured Fish, then turned to Harry: "Don't worry, the law will have your back. The Ministry of Magic isn't Fudge alone."

Mr. Weasley also echoed: "The trial site is on my floor, in Amelia Burns' office. She is the director of the Law Enforcement Department and a fair person."

Harry nodded, feeling relieved again.

"Don't lose your temper," Sirius also urged, "Be polite and realistic."

Mrs. Weasley, on the other hand, was holding a wet comb, trying to make Harry's unruly hair fit.

While listening to everyone's advice and comfort, Harry finished breakfast, and then, at Mr. Weasley's suggestion, went to the Ministry of Magic with him ahead of time.

"Good luck," Lupin said. "I'm sure everything will go well."

Everyone else gave Harry their blessings, even Fisher... Although his blessing was that he hoped that Harry would not have to do homework in the future...

Then the little skin cat was beaten on the head by Professor McGonagall.

After Harry left, Fish wiped out the rest of the breakfast, and then slipped back to his room to sleep... He had been doing this for the past three days, so Harry and the others didn't stay together. Found that Fish had woken up early.

When the cat yawned again and got up from the bed, it was almost noon.

"Meow...it seems a little noisy..."

(?Φw???)

While muttering, Fisch rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the pair of triangular cat ears on top of his head were flexibly turning back and forth.

When he opened the door and walked out, a clearer voice entered his ears...

"I knew it!" Ron yelled from downstairs. "You can always escape!"

"Thanks to Fish's animal friends," followed Harry's explanation, "because Azkaban's lack of a Dementor is irrefutable, so Fudge couldn't convince anyone else. , I'm lying."

In addition, there are George, Fred and Ginny singing and shouting: "He's okay, it's okay, it's okay..."

Accompanied by the singing, there is also a series of thumping sounds that are roughly on the beat, but are actually uneven. Listening to this movement, they should not only sing, but also dance.

"Harry is back meow?"

|ΦwΦ?)

Feishu followed their voices and ran downstairs quickly, and asked with his head pointed.

"Haha! Fish! You're here too!"

Ron ran over, pulled Fish into the room, and laughed.

"Harry was acquitted!" Hermione said to Fish with a beaming face.

"He's alright, alright, alright..." And the twins and Ginny continued to sing and dance.

"Doesn't that mean that Harry will continue to do his homework in the future? What's so happy about that?"

(?w?)

Cat Mao looked at the happy crowd and looked at Hermione with a puzzled face.

"Fish can understand if it's you, but Harry, like Fisch, doesn't like reading books..."

Harry: "…"

He couldn't refute this.

Fred, George and Ginny: "He's alright, alright, alright..."

The cat who didn't get an answer tilted his head, and then watched the twins and Ginny dance very interesting, so he joined in.

"He's alright, he's alright, he's alright..."

?Recommended ticket??Monthly ticket?

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

Animagus leaves can only be taken out on the day of the full moon, and August 10, 1995 happened to be the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

The book says that August 12 is a Wednesday, but it is actually a Saturday.

In addition, I found that Rowling seems to be used to counting the day of the first official class every time after school starts as a Monday.

Take the Goblet of Fire as an example, the World Cup is held on August 22, Rowling first wrote that it was Monday, and then she wrote that the day before returning to Hogwarts was Sunday, so the school day was Monday, but If you count the time of the World Cup, it should be Thursday.

And even if the first day of school is Monday, there are no classes on that day, and the classes on the second day are exactly the same as the classes on Monday when the new week starts, so when I write the Goblet of Fire, the time and the class are calculated. sorry.

Then I suddenly noticed when I was flipping through the Order of the Phoenix, UU reading Ron said after seeing the new class schedule that this day is Monday, but if August 12 is Wednesday, September 1 The day when the school starts should be Tuesday, and they hand out the timetable, and the day of the official class should be Wednesday.

As for the first few chapters, I didn't go to verify them. Anyone who is interested can go through them for themselves, and let me know when there are results.

Seeing the background to recommend, decisively on q, as expected, was urged by the editor..._('?`"∠)_
