When Harry woke up the next morning, he found that his arm had fully recovered, said goodbye to Madam Pomfrey and returned to the Common Room.
The first thing Harry did when he returned to the Common Room was to find two good friends, Ron and Hermione, and tell them what Dobby had told him the night before.
"So Dobby wouldn't let us on the train and broke your arm..." Ron shook his head breathlessly, "You know what, Harry? If he keeps trying to save you, he'll kill you himself... Is he really doing it for your sake?"
Dobby's actions were hard to define, and even if he said he was doing it for Harry's sake, Ron and Hermione, and Harry himself, couldn't approve of those 'good intentions'.
"I don't think... he shouldn't be lying to me..."
Despite being tormented by Dobby, Harry's instincts told him that Dobby wasn't lying.
It was a pity Dobby had run away last night, otherwise he would have wanted to ask if the danger Dobby was talking about was the Chamber of Secrets.
Hermione had obviously thought of that, too, and asked curiously, "You haven't asked Dobby if the danger he's talking about is the Chamber of Secrets?"
"I didn't have time to ask before Fish arrived..."
Harry shrugged bitterly, and told Hermione and Ron what had happened next as well.
"You must have heard that Dobby broke my arm and I wanted revenge, but when Dobby was about to talk about why he was stopping me from going to school, he attacked him.... As a result, Dobby took advantage of the chaos and ran away."
"Oh..."
Hermione blinked and came to the kitten's defense, "Fish was worried about you, too, you can't blame him for that!"
"I don't blame him either..." continued Harry bitterly, "I just think it's a shame, after what happened with Dobby, I don't know if he'll ever see me again."
"He'd better not," Ron couldn't help but sputter, "I'm serious, a couple more visits from him and you could be dead before you meet the monster in the Chamber of Secrets."
"It's not certain that the danger Dobby is talking about is the Chamber of Secrets, and it's not like Harry is part of the Chamber of Secrets monster attack." The stern Miss Know-it-all corrected.
Ron pursed his lips, "Come on, is there any danger in the school besides the Chamber of Secrets being opened? Don't forget that the biggest suspect is Malfoy, and you know how much he hates Harry."
As one of Malfoy's nemeses, Ron put his heart into his analysis, "If I opened the Chamber of Secrets, I would never obey the orders left by Slytherin.... Perhaps even I am the target of Malfoy's attack."
From Ron's point of view, if he could command some kind of monster, the first target would definitely be Malfoy, and then Snape.
Ron's argument probably made so much sense that Hermione didn't know how to refute it for a while.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to make that multijuice potion."
Hermione didn't want to discuss it further, but talked about the method they had discussed earlier: using the multijuice potion to get information from Malfoy.
"So, do you have any hiding places to make the multijuice potion?" asked Hermione.
Then, without waiting for Harry and Ron to answer, she began to answer herself, "You know, the chrysopes alone take twenty days to brew, I can't make the multijuice potion in my room, I was going to do it in Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor, but then it occurred to me that Fish is always hanging around there at night and there's a good chance he'll find it, after all Fish has such a good nose and ears...my silencing and deodorizing spells won't last long."
Harry scratched his head and said, "It's impossible to keep it from Fish, isn't it? why don't you just tell him straight out? Fish is reliable at keeping secrets and must know a lot of hidden places."
"I guess it's not possible to keep it from Fish, is it? Why don't we tell him, Fish can be trusted to keep secrets and I'm sure he knows more than one hidden place."
"But... Fish is pretty close to Big Brain, what if he goes straight to Malfoy and asks him? Or if he accidentally exposes something and puts Malfoy on alert." said Ron with a frown, he was sure that if he talked to Fish, Fish would help him keep the secret, but because of the incident with the twins, he had to worry about Fish alerting Malfoy to something else.
"Then we won't tell Fish the details," Hermione said firmly, "We'll just tell Fish that we want to find a place to hide."
As soon as they finished discussing the matter, the three of them left the Common Room and started looking for Fish.
Fortunately, it was still raining heavily today, Fish didn't run into the Forbidden Forest after breakfast, but wandered around the castle.
As a favorite school mascot at Hogwarts, Fish was easy to find whenever he was in the castle, and after asking a few students, Harry found Fish playing with the owls in the owl hut.
"A hiding place nya?"
After hearing Harry's explanation, Fish didn't even need to think, he immediately came up with an absolutely perfect spot.
"Fish knows a wonderful place, you'll be delighted with it nya!"
?(●φωφ●)?
He then led Harry and the others to the Menesters' Room on the seventh floor.
"It's here nya." said Fish, pointing to the empty wall in front of the tapestry of Barnabas the Nutcase trying to teach ballet to trolls.
"This place is called the Room of Requirement, and it can be made into any room you want. Fish took the golden Snitch from here."
Following Fish's instructions, Hermione muttered, "I need a room where I can do magic potions," and walked three times in front of the wall, where a smooth door appeared, just as Fish had said.
Reaching out and pushing the door, Harry and the others entered.
"Oh my goodness, how could there be such a magical place at Hogwarts? I bet George and Fred didn't even know this room existed."
Ron marveled as he looked around the room filled with cauldrons, scales, mortars, and smashing hammers.
Hermione, meanwhile, hopped over to a nearby bookshelf and took a quick glance at the various herbs on it.
"Wonderful, bicorn horns and the dried shredded Skin of an African tree snake! Both of the things we're missing are here!" exclaimed Hermione in surprise, thinking that if she couldn't, she'd have to sneak into Snape's office and steal them.
But now they didn't have to risk it.
Fish was the best!
Hermione walked over to Fish and gave him a tight hug.
"Thank you, Fish, you've done us a great favor!"
The thank you was secondary, the point was to take the opportunity to hug the cat.
After hugging Fish and taking a deep breath, a red-faced Hermione spoke first to stop Harry and Ron from teasing her, "Then, we just have to find a way to get... that little thing."
Of course, Harry and Ron knew what she meant by the little thing, and the thought of swallowing Goyle and Crabbe's hair or fingernails or whatever it was a month from now disgusted them, and they grinned in perfect synchronicity and made a disgusted face.
"What potion are you going to make? can you tell Fish nya?"
?ω?
The little cat asked curiously.
Not that he was worried about Snape lowering his grades or anything, but Fish was interested in all the weird potions he made in class, and after he made a potion, he liked to take it away and try it....
Fish had even awakened the [Detect Poison] and [Neutralize Poison] spells as a result.
Then he remembered what was taught in Potions class, Professor Snape had never taught a potion made from the horn of a bicorn or the dried shredded Skin of an African tree snake.
"Well..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth, "The potion we're making is called Multijuice Potion, it's a potion that turns you into someone else, you just have to add a bit of the person you want to change."
"Nya!"
∑(φ●●ωφ●)
Fish's cat ears perked up instantly, "So, can you prepare some for Fish too? I want to try it too nya!".
There has been no progress in transforming the black-footed cat, so Fish intends to try this potion called Multijugos Potion.
As for the black-footed cat's fur, he could ask Dumbledore for help.
"Of course it's no problem!" Hermione was relieved to see that Fish wasn't asking what they were going to do with the potion, and agreed, "There's plenty of ingredients here, even if it's for ten more people, no problem!
