Because when Ryan cast the stun spell just now, he actually kept his hand, after all, he was worried that if his defense dropped as low as a rat after turning into a rat, the stun spell would kill him.

So when Lupin pulled out Spotted from the cage, it had already woken up, and as Professor Lupin grabbed it, Spotted kept screaming and writhing, and his little black eyes bulged out. It struggled with all its might to escape.

Now everyone in the office could see that the mouse was not normal, and McGonagall and Lupin checked it separately and got together to discuss it, saying, "We're sure this mouse is an Animagus." ”

"Alright, please turn this Mr. Mouse back to his prototype. Dumbledore said to Spotted, but Spotted was unmoved, and even ran to the door as fast as Lupin put it down.

But with so many wizards in the house, how could he escape? Soon Spotted was suspended in the air by Mr. Weasley.

"It looks like we're going to have to force it. With that, Dumbledore nodded slightly to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall's wand glowed blue-white at Blob, who dangled in mid-air, his small black body writhing wildly.

Soon it fell from mid-air and landed on the floor. Another dazzling flash of light, and then — it was like a quick-release arrow of plant growth in a documentary. A head appeared on the ground, limbs sticked out, and a moment later a man stood where Spotted was.

It was a short man about Ryan's height. Like Mr. Weasley, he is bald, and his pale hair is unkempt. The whole person looks like an obese person who has lost weight quickly, and his skin has many wrinkles, and at the same time, it looks very dirty, almost the same as the speckled fur. The pointed nose and small, watery eyes also have the characteristics of a mouse. He looked at the group of people in the office, breathing quickly and weakly.

"Oh, hello, Peter," Professor Lupin was the first to react, as if he hadn't seen his previous transformation, "long time no see." ”

"Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore, and Lew-Lupin—" Peter's voice was sharp, his eyes constantly glancing at the exit from the Headmaster's office. "My professors—and my friends—"

"Peter, we're here to ask why you've been a rat for twelve years?" Dumbledore asked in a very stern tone as he lowered his head and looked at Peter through his half-moon eyes.

"Because—because I'm running away from Sirius. Yes, I'm running away, and I think he's going to kill me one day. Peter stammered in defense.

"I don't think an innocent person would have been in hiding for twelve years, let alone how did you know Sirius was going to escape from Azkaban? Professor Lupin asked. ”

"I, I'm just scared. After all, Sirius should have learned from that man the evil magic that had never been more powerful than ever. Peter stumbled in his argument, which might have been credible if his eyes hadn't been looking around like rats.

"No, it doesn't make sense. We had a lot of tainted witnesses, and some even confessed to a lot of Death Eaters. But they all live normally under the protection of the Ministry of Magic to this day. You, as an ordinary person who offended Sirius alone, hid like this for twelve years after Sirius was arrested, and the reason you just said is not credible. "Amelia?? Bones said, holding her monocle.

"Besides, you could have come to the Ministry of Magic for a week, especially if you could turn into a mouse, Sirius wouldn't be able to stop you. But you didn't, and instead chose to disguise yourself dead in a strange explosion a week after you were alone and Sirius chased you to this day. This doesn't match what you just said about your fears. ”

Amelia?? As the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Bones was indeed experienced in interrogation, and he exposed Peter's lies on key issues at once. Her questioning also made Peter completely lose his bearings.

"I, I wanted to avenge Lily and Jaime before I would go to him alone, after all, the Ministry of Magic sentenced that even the most vicious criminal would be Azkaban's life imprisonment, and I knew that Sirius must have learned evil magic from that man, and Azkaban couldn't punish him at all, so I wanted to kill him. Peter spoke more and more smoothly, as if that were the case, but everyone present had already found out that something was wrong.

"Then why did you hide for twelve years? If you do what you say, you should stand in front of people above board. That way, even if Blake escapes from prison, you can wait for Blake to come to the door to avenge Lily and James. And you just said you were hiding from Blake, so you're lying at all right now. Lupin said with a cold look on his face at this time, because he had already guessed the truth of something.

"We don't need to listen to this guy make up lies here, I have a powerful bottle of truth potion in my office, and it only takes three drops to make him say everything. What do you think, Ms. Bones?" Professor Snape, tired of Peter's lies being made up there, slowly spoke his mind.

"Well, this involves a very bad murder case from more than a decade ago. That's why I, in my capacity as Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, approved the use of the elixir. That's right, Headmaster Dumbledore. I'd like to borrow your office for a formal interrogation, as there are two Wizengamot members here and five adult observers next to you. Just meet the minimum requirements for a lawful trial. "Amelia?? Bones thought for a moment, like Professor Dumbledore asked.

"Absolutely. Headmaster Dumbledore nodded. "I want to know what happened now. ”

"No, no, I'm just a suspect, you don't have conclusive evidence to give me the truth potion. Peter struggled, but Professor McGonagall flicked his wand and fixed Peter there.

There was silence in the office for a few minutes, and the sound of rubbing came from the spiral staircase. Professor Snape returned with his truncative elixir.

"Thank you! With that, Dumbledore turned from behind the table, took a bottle of truth spitting like clear water, and then with a wave of his wand, he forcibly opened Peter's mouth and poured three drops of the potion.

Peter began to struggle for a while, but soon he was standing there blankly.

Amelia?? Bones pulled out a strange instrument of brass and crystal, pointed it at Peter, and then took out parchment and quill. "When I inquire later, I need someone to record it. ”

"I'll do it. Percy replied nervously. Bones glanced at him, and Mr. Weasley, who was next to him, replied, "He's my son, the president of the student council, and he'll be able to help you keep a complete record of this trial." ”

"Then please. With that, Bones waved his wand, and the paper and pen flew like Percy.

Percy was a little excited after receiving the pen and paper, and Ryan watched him try to put the parchment paper on his lap to record, and used his wand to turn the cushion on the back of his chair into a board and handed it to Percy.

"Transfiguration is good. Professor McGonagall next to her complimented. Before Ryan could answer, Director Bones' interrogation began. Everyone's attention was drawn to him.
