Chapter 36: Professor Kettleburn who takes notes

"Are you going to eat?" Xiwen, who walked back to the dormitory, asked two roommates who were trying to "fight".

"Come after this game of chess." Abu replied absentmindedly.

On the other hand, Mobley threw the chess pieces in his hand, stood up instantly, and said impatiently: "Go eat, I'm already hungry!" ”

The Chess Knight, who had fallen on the table, raised a small spear and protested disgruntled at Mobley.

Xiwen glanced at the situation of the chess game and showed a clear expression.

"You're playing tricks!" Abu shouted angrily.

"Where?" Mobley quibbled. "My last meal was last night, and I'm really hungry!"

With the sound of the two bickering, the three came to the auditorium.

After all, Xiwen still has a bit of a headache and doesn't have a good appetite. And the steam coming out of his ears from time to time was also a bit noticeable, so he casually ate some light food and said goodbye to his roommate and left the auditorium.

……

"Kitten, come out, it's time for us to go!" Shevin shouted in the common room.

"What, did you lose the cat again?" An older Slytherin senior asked with interest.

Shiwen nodded helplessly and replied, "Professor Kettleburn asked me to take the kitten to show him, but she didn't know where she had gone. ”

Looking at the hand on his pocket watch, which was gradually approaching seven o'clock, Xiwen thought to himself that he might have missed the appointment this time, and he wondered if the professor would be angry and chase himself away when he heard that he didn't bring the cat with him......

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

"When did you get here?" Xiwen quickly took the kitten in his arms and pointed at her nose and asked.

"Meow!" The kitten barked dissatisfiedly, but the voice was extremely cute, but it seemed to be coquettish.

"Alright, it's time for us to go!" Shewin happily placed the kitten on his shoulder, letting her soft belly cling to him, and her four little paws drooping in front and back.

This soft touch makes Xiwen feel satisfied.

"Huh-" A white steam suddenly erupted from Xiwen's ears, startling the kitten, who immediately jumped back into Xiwen's arms from her shoulder.

Xiwen's face was a little unbearable, he had to help the kitten massage his head and chin all the way, the kitten enjoyed it, but Xiwen's hands were sore.

……

"Coming? It's pretty punctual! Professor Kettleburn was clearly waiting at the door of the shack to greet Shevan, or rather, the kitten......

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

The kitten squinted at this time, and the whole cat lay on Xiwen's right arm, and made a "purr" sound representing happiness and contentment in his throat. And Xiwen's left hand was tirelessly pressing on her head.

Xiwen said that although the cat is very happy, but the cat for a long time is also a personal work!

"The overall coat color is white, and the back hair has a silver vein, which is more shiny than that of domestic cats; The performance of the massage is about the same as that of the cat......"

Professor Kettleburn pulled out a tattered notebook out of nowhere, and began to read it while taking a quill made of unknown feathers to record the kitten's appearance, habits, and other characteristics.

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

The kitten snapped open its eyes and gave the professor a vicious look.

"Well, yellow eyes, vertical pupils." The professor nodded, continuing to jot down in his notebook.

Xiwen opened his mouth, feeling as if he couldn't interject, so he closed his mouth again.

However, although Xiwen closed his mouth, his ears were still stealing the show. Two puffs of steam snorted out of his ears.

Professor Kettleburn seemed to hear this voice before finally remembering the existence of Shevan, raised his head and asked, "Got a cold?" ”

"Nope." Shiwen shook his head and replied. "It's a little bit of a headache."

"Oh, the professor understands your physical condition, so I won't go to patrol the Forbidden Forest today, and stay in the house for a while." Professor Kettleburn led Shevin into the shack and said in a serious manner.

Xiwen looked at the professor, who was all focused on the kitten, and couldn't help asking, "Professor, did you think about not inspecting the Forbidden Forest a long time ago, just one reason missing?" ”

"How can you tarnish people's innocence out of thin air?" Professor Kettleburn blew his beard and glared, and said confidently. "Caring for students is a professor's duty! If you hadn't begged me, you thought I wanted to show you what breed of cat this was? ”

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

"Hey, stop, stop!" Seeing that Xiwen was about to leave, Professor Kettleburn immediately panicked and said hurriedly. "I'll admit I did want to study your cat, okay?"

"What a little bastard who doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young." Then he whispered.

Xiwen looked helplessly at the professor who was not very serious, and finally put the kitten on the table in front of him so that he could observe.

"It doesn't look like a special breed from the outside." Professor Kettleburn looked at the kitten with a frown, not noticing that his face was getting closer to the cat.

"Smack!" With a bang, the kitten slapped the professor in the face.

Xiwen: "......"

Professor Kettleburn was not at all impressed, and said with great interest: "It's quite energetic, this action is not very much like a house cat." ”

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

"Huh-" The kitten snorted at the professor, trying to scare him away.

But she was up against the knowledgeable professor in Hogwarts' Magical Beasts Conservation class, and Professor Kettleburn's hand was firmly on the kitten's mouth.

So he was bitten by a kitten......

"Professor, are you alright?" Xiwen asked with the corners of his mouth twitching.

"Minor problem!" Professor Kettleburn skillfully smeared himself with some white fresh essence and said confidently. "It's a little bit of a thing, I haven't been scared of that big guy who can bite my leg off."

'So your arms and legs are like this...... ' Xiwen said speechlessly.

"The fangs are much sharper and longer than 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!"

"Ahem, Professor, kitten she doesn't eat unclean things." Xiwen said weakly beside him.

"She only eats cooked food......"

Professor Kettleburn: "......"
