Inside Hogwarts Castle, Karl Orolin walked into the Gryffindor Dean's office with a mischievous grin.
"Minerva! I'm back! Did you miss me? I missed you so much!"
Professor McGonagall: (—_—)
After an entire summer of wild fun outside, how could this brat still have the nerve to say he missed her?
If it weren't for the Phoenix relief book from Nicolas Flamel that allowed them to communicate, she would have thought the Kitten had turned into a stray and run off!
"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Karl Orolin? To think he still knows his way home? How truly unbelievable!"
Hearing this, Karl Orolin immediately stood at attention. "Actually, I wanted to come back much earlier! But Newt and the others insisted I stay, and I really couldn't refuse their hospitality!"
Cat Mom didn't say anything, she just stared at the Kitten.
Spin your tale! Keep spinning! Let's see what kind of story you can come up with! Did they hold you back with chains?
Seeing Cat Mom's stance, Karl Orolin felt that he probably couldn't escape punishment.
Fortunately, he had already prepared and immediately began to divert Professor McGonagall's attention.
"Minerva! Look at the gifts I brought you! All kinds of big and small fish! I caught them all with my own hands!"
So many fish! Cat Mom must be very happy!
Karl Orolin placed the suitcase on the ground and pulled Professor McGonagall to come inside and see.
"You brought back Mr. Scamander's magic briefcase too?"
Recalling the Kitten's behavior at Nicolas Flamel's house, Professor McGonagall suddenly felt a little panicked.
Did this child also ransack Newt's house? Didn't I tell you to behave yourself?
"Minerva, where did your thoughts go? It's because I helped save Newt's Merperson friend, so he specially made this and gave it to me as a thank-you gift."
After Karl Orolin's explanation, Professor McGonagall finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good, that's good! It's good that it's not what she thought!
However, when she saw the deep-sea fish sealed in ice, her heart skipped a beat again.
"You caught these with your own hands?"
"Of course!"
Karl Orolin's proud smile vanished in an instant because his ear was pinched.
"You dared to go into the water again? Don't you know how dangerous the bottom of the sea is? Huh?"
Professor McGonagall was furious. Although she didn't bear to use much force, her attitude had to be stern.
What if the Kitten went to play in the sea and was eaten by a big fish? One should know that there are more magical creatures in the sea than on land.
If he accidentally encountered some sea monster or something… Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! She was lightheaded with anger, talking nonsense!
"Actually, it's not dangerous at all—"
Karl Orolin had just grumbled a sentence when he shut up under Cat Mom's stern gaze.
Miscalculation. This time, his action was like reverse firefighting, adding fuel to the fire.
Compared to playing wildly and not knowing when to come home, going into the sea to catch fish, which was dangerous, would make Professor McGonagall even angrier.
After all, she only knew he was good at playing with fire, but the sea was full of water.
Alright! In that case, there was only one last method!
Karl Orolin looked at Cat Mom with a solemn expression, "Minerva! Something seems to be wrong with my body! It's become incredibly strange!"
Hearing this, Professor McGonagall immediately became nervous, instantly releasing her hand from his ear and checking the Kitten's condition.
"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Let's go! We're going to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries!"
Karl Orolin quickly pulled back the somewhat flustered Cat Mom, "No need to go to the hospital, I'm not uncomfortable, just a little strange. Watch closely!"
Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a Cougar, his small appearance as handsome and cute as ever.
Professor McGonagall:?
Before she could understand what this meant, the Cougar suddenly transformed into a Merperson.
Professor McGonagall:!
Huh? What happened? Am I hallucinating? Where is my Kitten? How did he turn into a Merperson? Is this right?
Karl Orolin flicked his fish tail and grinned at Professor McGonagall, "This is how I caught fish! It's not dangerous at all!"
Cat Mom nodded blankly, feeling her worldview collapse.
However, that wasn't all. Under her gaze, the Merperson once again transformed into a small Dragon.
Professor McGonagall:!!!
Merlin's mother! She must have missed the Kitten too much; she was starting to dream!
"Huh? Minerva, where are you going?"
Watching Cat Mom turn and walk away, Karl Orolin quickly flew up and blocked her.
"It's not easy to have such a realistic dream; I need to quickly go play with the Castle's moving stone blocks."
Professor McGonagall reached out and hugged Karl Orolin, vigorously rubbing his head.
"This form is quite cute, only a little less so than a Kitten. When I wake up, I'll order you a few sets of pajamas like this; they should look good on you."
Karl Orolin: (A°)
Oh no! Cat Mom was too shocked and thought she was dreaming!
"Minerva, do you want to pinch yourself? Don't use too much force, it will hurt a lot."
"Hiss!"
Professor McGonagall, gasping from the pain, finally accepted what had just happened.
"Alright! So it wasn't a dream!"
Karl Orolin: (—_—)
Why do I feel like you're a little disappointed? Are the moving stone blocks that fun?
But since it could make Cat Mom constantly think about it, maybe it really was a lot of fun.
Hehe! I want to play too!
Professor McGonagall asked questions seriously while meticulously examining him. After confirming that these transformations were only beneficial to Karl Orolin and not harmful, her hanging heart finally settled.
There was no other way; such an unheard-of, unseen event was truly beyond her comprehension.
Well, this wasn't the first time, after all, Karl Orolin's situation had always been abnormal.
Professor McGonagall organized her words, then stroked the Kitten's head and began to comfort him, "Don't worry, child.
The magic world is inherently incredibly magical, so don't think you're strange."
"This might be your unique talent. While we cannot explain what is happening to you, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing now, does it?"
Karl Orolin: ~(√)
As expected of the best Cat Professor, while trying to convince herself, she didn't forget to comfort him.
"Mm-hmm! I think so too!"
Professor McGonagall patted Karl Orolin's shoulder, "Don't let others find out in the future—never mind, that might be a bit difficult."
Thinking of her Kitten's troublesome personality, Cat Mom thought for a moment and quickly made a decision, pulling Karl Orolin and walking out.
"Where are we going, Minerva?"
"The library."
"Huh? Why there?"
"To read books and research information, then formulate a theoretical conjecture on multi-form transfiguration, write it into a paper, and publish it, so that Wizards have a general understanding and impression of this situation."
Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow at Karl Orolin, "This way, even if you are discovered later, people won't find it too strange."
Karl Orolin: (A°)
Huh? You can play like that?
"Will the paper we make up work? No one will believe it, right?"
"We don't need people to believe it now; just let this conjecture and theory spread, and it will be useful later."
Professor McGonagall felt she could reference the legend of Merlin and fabricate something related to bloodlines.
She heard that Beauxbatons Academy of magic had students with Veela bloodlines. Perhaps she could also include Dumbledore's family, as only their family would possess a Phoenix.
Hmm, Albus would definitely agree.
"Oh, right! Aren't you good at writing stories? Use your specialty, write for me according to myths and legends, the more outrageous, the better. We'll publish several papers; I'll be the one reviewing them anyway."
Karl Orolin: ·
Putting everything else aside, Cat Mom really had ideas!
