From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

"Are you going to eat?" Xiwen walked back to the dormitory and asked his two roommates who were "fighting" hard.

"I'll come as soon as I finish this game of chess." Abu replied absentmindedly.

On the contrary, Mobley threw away the chess pieces in his hand, stood up instantly, and said impatiently: "Let's go eat, I'm starving!"

The knight who dropped the chess piece on the table raised his small spear and made a dissatisfied protest to Mobley.

Xiwen took one look at the situation of the chess game and showed a clear expression.

"You're being shameless!" Abu shouted angrily.

"No way?" Mobley argued. "My last meal was last night. I was really hungry!"

Accompanied by the sound of the two bickering, the three of them arrived at the auditorium.

After all, Xiwen still had a headache and a poor appetite. The steam coming out of his ears from time to time was also a bit noticeable, so he ate some light food and said goodbye to his roommates and left the auditorium.

…

"Kitten, come out, it's time for us to set off!" Xiwen shouted in the common room.

"What, has the cat been lost again?" a senior Slytherin asked with interest.

Xiwen nodded helplessly and replied: "Professor Kettleburn asked me to take the kitten to show him, but I don't know where she went."

Looking at the pointer on the pocket watch that was gradually approaching seven o'clock, Xiwen thought that he might miss the appointment this time, and he didn't know if the professor would be so angry that he would kick him away when he heard that he didn't bring the cat with him...

Back in the dormitory, Xiwen was about to pack up his things and go to Professor Kettleburn's shed when he suddenly found a silver-and-white patterned kitten lazily lying on the quilt above his bed with its little paws.

"When did you come here?" Xiwen quickly picked up the kitten in his arms and nodded her nose.

"Meow!" The kitten screamed dissatisfiedly, but the voice was extremely cute, almost like coquettishness.

"Okay, it's time for us to set off!" Xiwen happily put the kitten on his shoulders, letting her soft belly press against him, with her four little paws hanging in front and back.

This soft touch made Xiwen feel satisfied.

"Tsk-" A stream of white steam suddenly spurted out from Xiwen's ears, startling the kitten, and she immediately jumped back into Xiwen's arms from her shoulders.

Xiwen was a bit embarrassed, so he had to massage the kitten's head and chin the whole way. The kitten enjoyed it, but Xiwen's hands were sore.

…

"Here he is? It's quite on time!" Professor Kettleburn could not wait to greet Xiwen at the door of the shack, or rather to greet the kitten...

"Let me see, is this the cat?" He looked at the kitten in Xiwen's arms who was enjoying the manual massage service with great interest.

The kitten squinted its small eyes at this time. The whole cat was lying on Xiwen's right arm, making a "purring" sound in its throat that represented happiness and contentment. Xiwen's left hand was tirelessly resting on her head.

Pressing.

Xiwen said that although petting cats is very happy, petting cats for a long time is also strenuous work!

"The overall hair color is white, and the hair on the back has silver texture, which is more lustrous than that of domestic cats; its performance when receiving massage is roughly the same as that of domestic cats..."

Professor Kettleburn took out a tattered notebook from nowhere and began to record the kitten's appearance, habits and other characteristics with a quill made of unknown feathers while talking about it.

"What do her eyes look like?" the professor asked, reaching out to touch the kitten's head.

The kitten opened its eyes suddenly and glanced at the professor fiercely.

"Yes, yellow eyes, vertical pupils." The professor nodded and continued to record it in his notebook.

Xiwen opened his mouth, but felt that he couldn't get a word in, so he closed his mouth again.

However, although Xiwen closed his mouth, his ears were still competing for the show. Two streams of steam spurted out of his ears with a "chi" sound.

It seemed that Professor Kettleburn finally remembered Xiwen's existence after hearing this voice. He raised his head and asked, "Are you cold?"

"No." Xiwen shook his head and replied, "I just have a headache."

"Oh, the professor is considerate of your physical condition and will not patrol the Forbidden Forest today. He will stay in the house and have a good rest." Professor Kettleburn led Xiwen into the shed and said seriously at the same time.

Xiwen looked at the professor who was focusing all his attention on the kitten and couldn't help but ask: "Professor, have you already decided not to patrol the Forbidden Forest? Is there just one more reason?"

"How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?" Professor Kettleburn puffed his beard and glared, and said confidently. "It is a professor's duty to care for students! If you hadn't begged me, you thought I wanted to show you what kind of breed this is.

cat?"

"Then Professor, I won't force you, otherwise I'd better take the kitten back." Xiwen said.

"Hey, stop, stop!" Seeing Xiwen trying to leave, Professor Kettleburn immediately panicked and said hurriedly. "I admit that I really want to study your cat. Is that okay this time?"

"What a little bastard who doesn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young." Then he muttered quietly.

Xiwen looked helplessly at the less than serious professor, and finally placed the kitten on the table in front of him so that he could observe it more easily.

"It doesn't look like a very special breed from the outside." Professor Kettleburn frowned and observed the kitten, not noticing that his face was getting closer and closer to the cat.

With a "pop!" sound, the kitten slapped the professor on the face.

Xiwen: "..."

Professor Kettleburn didn't feel dissatisfied at all, and said enthusiastically: "You are quite energetic. This behavior is not very like a domestic cat."

As he spoke, he wanted to open the kitten's mouth to see her teeth.

"Haha——" The little cat breathed fiercely at the professor, trying to scare him away.

However, she was facing the knowledgeable professor of Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts. Professor Kettleburn's hand reached out to the kitten's mouth firmly.

So he was bitten by the kitten...

"Professor, are you okay?" Xiwen asked with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"Small problem!" Professor Kettleburn skillfully applied some white essence on himself and said confidently. "This little thing is nothing. If I encounter a big guy who can bite my legs off in one bite, I'll give it a try."

I’ve never been timid.”

"It turns out that your arms and legs are missing like this..." Xiwen cursed speechlessly.

"The fangs are much sharper and longer than those of domestic cats..." Professor Kettleburn was still taking notes.

Then, he took out a mouse that had been prepared and placed it in front of the kitten.

"Let me see how you hunt now!"

"Ahem, professor, the kitten won't eat unclean things." Xiwen said weakly from the side.

"She only eats cooked food..."

Professor Kettleburn: "..."
