27. Rats
The Gryffindor's common room must have been very lively tonight, but unfortunately it was lost because Ron's rat spots disappeared in the end, and Dumbledore went to the screaming shack himself to meet the scrawny Sirius Black inside.
The other party explained all the reasons for the incident to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore regretted even more that he should have borne the secrets of the Potter family at that time.
Dumbledore personally hid Black, and he had to make sure that the Dementors couldn't find him, after all, there was no best evidence to prove Blake's innocence, even if Dumbledore believed what Blake said, and the most important thing was to find Peter Pettigrew.
Only by finding Peter Pettigrew can the Ministry of Magic be able to pardon Blake.
They wouldn't believe that the rat would be eaten by one of Hermione's cats, and even if Animagus was a mouse, he would never be so weak to preserve his magic in his body.
It can only be said that Banban has sensed the danger and found a safe place to hide.
And that's exactly what happened, Spotted was hiding in the Hogwarts aviary, where all the school's teachers and students owls gathered, because owls, unlike other pets, could not be carried around or kept in the dormitory.
The owls are kept in the aviary, which is managed and free for the owls, allowing them to go out and forage for food and soar over the skies of Hogwarts whenever and wherever they want.
Haidong Qing Pylos came back from circling outside.
He stretched his wings and landed on the floor of the aviary, Hai Dongqing belonged to the eagle class but not an owl, in the aviary, he completely stood out from the crowd, he had his own nest, and in the nest was trapped in a pair of miscellaneous branches, these branches were very hard, like a wire, trapped Peter Pettigrew firmly inside.
Now Pettigrew regrets it incomparably, and honestly hides in the castle, after all, the castle is so big, they can't find it if they hide in a corner, but he shouldn't have run outside the castle, but he didn't have to go far before he was caught by this Hai Dongqing who fell from the sky.
When he saw that this Haidongqing was Sherlock's pet, Pelos, Peter Pettigrew was suddenly frightened, he didn't want to be eaten by an eagle, and was thinking about whether to take the risk of turning back into a human form and breaking free, but Pelos locked him in the aviary.
Peter Pettigrew didn't understand what the bird was thinking, and had been locked up in the aviary for a week, but Pelos would bring him something to eat so he wouldn't starve to death in the aviary for a week.
"Could this map be broken, you can be sure that Banban is hiding in this place! Fred"
"You can't be wrong George, you can see that the location shown by this name is in the birdhouse, they can't find it, but we can."
With tears in his eyes, Pettigrew heard a familiar voice, it was the voice of a pair of Weasley twin brothers, George and Fred, who had crept into the bird snake, and it was the morning when most of the owls were sleeping in it, and most of the owls let out a disgruntled cry for the two students who had suddenly visited.
Fred was holding the map of the living spots in his hand.
Although the map shows that the name is in the birdhouse, it can't show the specific location, so the two people plan to secretly flip through the place.
Pettigrew screamed twice and was spotted by George and Fred.
"Found it!" George and Fred shouted at the same time.
Informationally caught this mouse spotted.
Pettigrew burst into tears, "Okay, it's so easy for you to find it, take me out of here, these owls are eyeing people at night, and that Hai Dongqing treats people as pets, and I can't stand it." ’
Fred and George leave the Bird Snake with Spotted.
On the way back, George happily said, "Finally found you, Peter Pettigrew, the whole school was looking for you, but we found out." ”
'Ah...... Yes, Peter Pettigrew, it's been a long time since anyone called me that, you all call me Spotted...... Merlin's beard! The spotted rat's body stiffened all at once.
It is clear that George and Fred have discovered the secret that he is an Animagus.
And to their behalf, the vast majority of Hogwarts are tracking down his whereabouts.
It is clear that the news that Peter Pettigrew is still alive has been discovered by the group.
Peter glanced at the map in Fred's hand, which he hadn't recognized just now, and now saw that it was the map of the living spot that he, Lupin, Black, and Jaime had invented.
It only shows the person's real name, so even if you become a mouse, you will show your name on it...... But how did this map end up in the hands of the two of them?
Peter Pettigrew simply bit George's hand in desperation, and the pain made George let go of his hand, allowing the mouse to slip away.
"Why can't you catch a mouse?"
"So that's what you watch? Anyway, my hand was bitten too! ”
George and Fred pounced on Pettigrew at the same time, but they didn't pounce, watching as the mouse shook its ass and ran forward.
Until a giant white eagle descended from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the mouse disappeared.
"Captured!"
"It's going to be disemboweled, it's over."
"But I think that eagle is so familiar, it's Mr. Sherlock's Pelos."
Suddenly there was one more person in front of George and Fred.
The two of them rose from the ground, and it was Sherlock, the other wearing a bright silver wizard's robe, which had been given to Sherlock by the Ministry of Magic in honor.
Pelos landed on his shoulder in high spirits, and Sherlock was holding Peter Pettigrew in his hand.
"This is your mouse?"
"Uh...... Ron's to be exact...... But Mr. Sherlock, you definitely don't know that this mouse actually has another identity, he has been lurking in our house for more than ten years, and we don't even know it, he is really a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Fred looked at the mouse in Sherlock's hand and smiled.
"It's nothing more than an Animagus, and if you want to talk about his identity, Peter Pettigrew, right?"
George and Fred were stunned, knowing that Harry had quietly told them about it, and then the professors had ordered anyone in the know not to say it.
