A certain Hogwarts magical cat

Chapter 88
after breakfast,

The four of Alice went to the basement to attend Snape's Potions class together.

Charlie, on the other hand, walked towards the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts Castle with difficult steps.

At this time, the heavy snow outside Hogwarts Castle had stopped, but the howling cold wind and the snow piled up on the ground, which was taller than his entire cat body, still made his instinct as a cat continue to protest,
His instinct told him to go back quickly, to return to the warm castle, but reason told him not to go back, not to be influenced by the increasingly powerful instinct,

Because he knows that if this continues, one day, he will really become a cat.

"Oh, Charlie, why are you still walking outside in such a cold day, be careful not to freeze!"

When Charlie was about to cross the Quidditch pitch and into the Forbidden Forest,

Wrapped in a long moleskin coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves and huge beaver fur boots, Hagrid defrosting his broomstick on the Quidditch pitch,
But suddenly appeared from behind him, picked him up, put him in the pocket of his warm coat, and sent him back to Hogwarts Castle.

With Charlie's speed, of course he can easily escape Hagrid's capture, but since he has been spotted by Hagrid, it is difficult for him to continue moving towards the Forbidden Forest.

Of course, there is also a part of the reason, or his cat's instinct is affecting him, wanting him to return to the warm castle, instead of staying outside in this icy, snowy and windy place.

……

Lie down in the corridor of the castle, waited for a full hour, and finally waited until Hagrid left the Quidditch pitch and returned to his Hagrid hut,

Charlie looked around, and after finding no one there, he jumped out of Hogwarts Castle again and rushed into the snow.

However, just as he was about to cross the snow field of the stadium and step into the path leading to the Forbidden Forest, he suddenly felt a force lift his body up and flew straight back towards the castle.

Turn around and look,
Charlie found that in the corridor, an old wizard wearing a dark green wizard robe appeared at an unknown time, and was pointing at him with a wand in his hand.
Looking carefully at the face, it was Professor McGonagall!
It turned out that when Professor McGonagall was passing by the corridor of the castle, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the direction of the Quidditch pitch outside the castle. In the white snow, a small yellow thing was moving on the snow, leaving a long trace.
Take a closer look, isn't that cute little Charlie!

On such a cold day, seeing Charlie as a kitten running in the snow, Professor McGonagall was afraid that he would fall into a deep pit and be buried in the thick snow because he couldn't see the ground, so he quickly cast a moving spell on Charlie.

Charlie, who was floating in the air at this time, could use a simple "spell stop" to end the moving spell that Professor McGonagall cast on himself, but obviously, he couldn't do that.

Therefore, Charlie had no choice but to be obedient, and was moved back to her arms by Professor McGonagall with a moving spell.

"Whirlwind Sweep"

Holding Charlie, Professor McGonagall used a descaling spell to remove the white snow and melted water stains on his body, and then babbled:
"This kind of weather is not suitable for you to play outside. It's better to sit in grandma's office. Grandma asked the elves to prepare some warm broth for you to drink to warm your body!"

"Meow!"

Charlie reluctantly responded,
It seems that he won't be able to go to the Forbidden Forest during the day. Forget it, it's not bad to go to Professor McGonagall to learn the knowledge of transfiguration. The key is to have food, drink, and warmth.

Today is the right time and place, and it seems that they don't want him to leave the castle. If that's the case, let's stay in the castle first.

Anyway, the wolves in the Forbidden Forest can't run away, so it's not a big problem to solve it sooner or later.

Moreover, according to Aragog's estimate, the number of wolves in the Forbidden Forest does not exceed fifty at most. Even if he accepts all the experience, it is estimated that he may not be able to rise to the eighth level.

After all, after his seventh level, two acromantulas can provide him with a little experience, and the individual strength of the wolves is about the same as that of acromantus. If you knock one out, even if you have more, you won't gain much experience.
The point is that he didn't intend to kill the wolves, not because he had any sympathy for the wolves, but mainly because these wolves were secretly let in by Dumbledore.

That shows that his parents definitely have some relationship with Dumbledore,
For a little experience, it is obviously not wise to go against Dumbledore and expose your own situation.

Being hugged by Professor McGonagall, Charlie came to Professor McGonagall's office on the second floor again,

But this time, the office was not empty, but a person who made him very vigilant appeared, the headmaster of Hogwarts - Albus Dumbledore!
As the most powerful wizard in the world, Charlie is still very afraid of him.

This kind of fear does not lie in the quality of Dumbledore, but in his strong magical power.

In fact, so far, Charlie already has a little understanding of Dumbledore. According to the standards of the public, Dumbledore is indeed a good person who takes the overall situation into consideration.
But that doesn't mean Charlie won't end up being his enemy.

Because Charlie knew very well that he was actually not a good person. According to the standards of secular and magical laws, some of his actions could be classified as "bad people".

for example:

If one day, Charlie felt that a certain wizard threatened him, or might pose a threat to him, he would kill him without any hesitation.
But his behavior may be wrong in the eyes of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore.
Not because they want to target Charlie, but because they are good people. They don't see a single person in their eyes, but the entire wizarding world. They need to follow the rules.

To be more vivid, Dumbledore represents the judges and policemen of the Muggle world, and Charlie is a lunatic who ignores the law and acts completely according to his own ideas.
If a person wanted to kill Charlie, whether he did it or not, Charlie would kill the other person first after he knew it, and this behavior, in the eyes of the judge and the police, was definitely wrong.

Therefore, even if Dumbledore is a great man who can sacrifice himself for the wizarding world, he may become Charlie's enemy in the future.

In comparison, Charlie was not so afraid of Voldemort,
Because he knew almost all of Voldemort's secrets and the locations of all his Horcruxes,

If there is a conflict with Voldemort, he can destroy most of Voldemort's Horcruxes, reducing his strength to a minimum.

In his heyday, Voldemort's strength could barely compete with Dumbledore, who was no longer at his peak, but with most of his Horcruxes destroyed, his strength immediately dropped to freezing point. In fact, his strength was not that strong anymore.

The reason why Voldemort is really feared is not because his strength is so desperate, but because he is ferocious enough that he can't kill him. His pure blood theory has gathered a large number of crazy followers.
