The Mysterious Black Cat at Hogwarts

After the sorting ceremony, the prefects left the cafeteria with the little wizards from their respective houses. Hermione and Ron, as Gryffindor prefects, were no exception. They led the long line to Gryffindor side by side. In the multi-lounge, the freshmen follow behind them, and the seniors walk at the end.

"Hermione, just now I noticed that something is wrong with you," Ron hesitated a few times, and finally asked Hermione beside him with concern.

"Ron, the situation this year is much more serious than previous years, although Professor McGonagall only mentioned the safety measures of Hogwarts at the sorting ceremony." Hermione whispered to him.

"You mean those Death Eaters no longer target Muggle toilets, but other buildings? Like a bridge?" Ron suddenly thought of those wizards whose father would never be able to catch them, and who had a soft spot for Muggle toilets. Is it a Death Eater?

"Huh?" Hermione frowned, she didn't understand why Ron would say that.

"My dad hasn't caught those wizards who fried Muggle toilets. I guess they must be Death Eaters," Ron said, the more he felt right, "because only Death Eaters would treat Muggles." start building."

"Ron! I don't want to know about those wizards' quirks right now. Use your brain that is almost full of muscles. Can't you see the sorting ceremony today?" Hermione rubbed her temples, "There are too few new students. , and Hogwarts has opened a magic barrier, what does this mean? Most wizards can see that the wizarding world in England is not peaceful, and here, it is very likely to become the next target of the Death Eaters!"

"That's great, I'm just about to try out the new magical power armor," Ron excitedly patted the orange cat on his shoulder, "I'm not afraid of them."

"Ron, that's just you, or a very few wizards, this is Hogwarts, not everyone is like you," Hermione glared at him angrily, and continued, "Death Eaters are not a People are an organization, you can't defeat them at the same time, don't forget, they still have Voldemort!"

Ron curled his lips. He really couldn't deal with so many Death Eaters by himself, but there were Harry and Draco. Although Seamus didn't participate in this training, he was also very strong. With the four of them, He really didn't believe what those Death Eaters could do to Hogwarts.

"Professor Slughorn, can you stop following me?" Macon looked impatiently at the Potions professor next to him, who obviously wanted to board the floating city with him, so he could only refuse , "Although the Black Cat Academy is in the floating city, it is also my home."

"Oh~ no, no, no, Professor Macon, Master Macon! I just want to go up and take a look." Slughorn's protruding eyes stared at the floating city. Great design, you really shouldn't reject me. Although your reputation is very loud in the wizarding world, it's a pity that you don't seem to have integrated into the upper circle of wizards at all. As I told you before, I can be your referral."

"Once again, I'm not interested in your upper circles at all, please don't pester me anymore, and please remember your identity, as a professor at Hogwarts, you should focus on educating students. Of course, for this point, I agree with your achievements in potions, and I think Dumbledore didn’t invite you here to increase the number of people in any upper circle.” Macon squatted down slightly after speaking, and then jumped up. He got up and jumped directly into the air, a suspended step quickly caught him, and gradually disappeared in the white mist.

"It's amazing jumping power." Slughorn muttered to himself. Macon's words didn't embarrass him. He often hangs around in the upper circles. He has seen and dealt with all kinds of tempered wizards. It's a pity that someone as famous as Macon never shows up in the circle. If I can become his recommender, then I will get higher praise and more contacts.

Macon, who returned to the floating city, went straight to the top of the main hall, turned into a black cat, jumped into the arms of Hermione who arrived earlier than him, and lay on his back.

"Why are you back now?" Hermione moved the black cat's belly, and she had already sent the Gryffindor freshmen back to the lounge, but she didn't expect that Macon was still behind her.

"I was in the cafeteria just now, and I saw you passing by the cafeteria door... I was stalked by the new Potions professor, insisting on letting me enter the upper class of wizards, I was so annoyed." The black cat said She arched her arms, found a comfortable position and lay down, talking impatiently.

"That weird old man? I found out at the sorting ceremony that he seems to be particularly interested in you." Hermione's mind came up with the image of Slughorn, with a bald head, protruding eyes and a protruding belly, and she couldn't help shaking her head.

"I'd rather face Firenze than stay with him. It's just troublesome." When the black cat mentioned Firenze, it had a sleepy expression. , just nestled in the grass shed outside the fence all day, and lived a leisurely pastoral life every day. His bears and rabbits were all kept in captivity by Firenze. He just picked up a bear secretly before, and he chased it The lounge lectured for a long time.

Hermione looked down at the expression on the black cat's face, and burst out laughing. Of course, she understood why the black cat had such an expression. That day, when Firenze faced Macon who refused to admit that he had stolen the bear, behind every sentence he said With the nickname of "The End of the Bear", it almost drove Macon crazy.

"Macon, look at this." Hermione took out a piece of parchment from the black cat's hairpin, and handed it to Macon proudly. This was the report card that Professor McGonagall had just given her.

The black cat wagged its tail and let the parchment unfold in front of him, with 'O's all over it, "Oh, it's amazing, it's all excellent, I have to frame it quickly and hang it in the public room Sample?"

"I don't want to hang it up, you just make fun of me, right?" Hermione snatched the parchment, folded it carefully and put it back into the black cat hairpin.

"Oh? Then what do you want?" The black cat said with a smile, and a pair of cat eyes scanned her back and forth maliciously.

"I'm not going to be fooled by you." Hermione pressed the black cat's nose and pushed back his eager cat's head.

"Since you don't ask me for a reward, then I'll give you a reward, it's the same anyway." The black cat shook its head and staggered its fingers, lowered its head and burrowed into her arms hard.

Hermione quickly activated the Animagus to turn into a lion cat. The two cats, one black and one white, were messing around on the deck chair, but soon because they caught the cat's tongue, they stuck together and moved along each other. messy hair.
