Chapter 236: Specks of Death
"Be quiet, Crookshan......" Hermione stroked her cat distressedly, but the girl's comfort didn't help, Crookshane still stared at Ron, looking completely ready for battle, which made Hermione a little overwhelmed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"What's the matter, Ron, what did Crookshank do?" Vanlin frowned, he didn't understand what was wrong with Ron, he lost his temper with Hermione's pet, it didn't make sense, although Ron hated Crookshan, but it was because of Spotted.
It was an Animagus, what could an ordinary cat do to a wizard.
At the thought of it, Van Lin's heart beat as if he had missed a beat, as if he had forgotten something, Peter Pettigrew could not sit still, especially after Sirius broke through the Hogwarts blockade. Peter Pettigrew couldn't have let Sirius come to his troubles.
"Give it to me......," Ron said coldly, his tone was very cold, just like the weather outside, and of course, Ron was a little more tender than our Snape professor.
"What?" Hermione seemed frightened, and she unconsciously tightened her arms a little.
"You know that......" Ron said calmly, but then Ron changed his stance as if he were roaring.
"I said, give me that damn monster, did you hear me!"
"What are you yelling at me!" Hermione replied unceremoniously, and Ron yelled at her inexplicably, much to Hermione's annoyance.
Neville seemed to be dumbfounded by the conflict in the common room, standing at the entrance of the stairs in a daze, blocking everyone behind him.
Neville looked at Van Lin a little helplessly, he didn't know what was going on, Ron had just woken up and looked like a different person when he saw Crookshan.
"Uh...... Neville, you...... You go back...... Ron just has something to talk to us about!" Van Lin said with a bit of a headache.
Neville nodded obediently, beckoning his classmates to walk towards the dorm, but before he could get any further, everyone stopped in fright by Ron.
"Give me that bastard......" Ron shouted, "I'm going to kill it today." ā
"What are you smoking!" Hermione was also angry, and she hugged Crookshan tightly in her arms.
"How did Crookshan provoke you again, it's my pet, it's a cat, is it going to eat you, are you sick......?"
"It killed Spotted!" Ron looked pained, his voice sounding like a cry.
Hermione was horrified by the news, but the girl immediately realized that Spotted wasn't a mouse, it was an Animagus, and how could an ordinary cat kill a wizard, a wizard capable of blowing an entire street away.
Hermione's face was a little ugly, but she still suppressed the anger in her heart, she glanced at Van Lin, only the two of them knew about the blob, but now was not the time to say it.
Van Lin quickly walked to the position of the stairs, "You also saw the pet dispute, I think what is needed now is for two people to sit down and talk...... Let's all go back......"
The voices of a few people sounded here and there, and there were not many people coming down, so the work of persuasion seemed to have become quite easy.
It didn't take long for the people who had been stuck in the hallway to return to their respective lounges, and of course, discussions behind their backs were inevitable. However, Van Lin didn't intend to care about these indifferent things, and he didn't want to say anything about Peter Pettigrew to these classmates, there was no need to bring new panic and changes.
There is also the possibility that everyone thinks he is crazy, but this possibility will greatly restore everyone's true thoughts, and slander a recipient of the Order of Merlin of the First Class, which is not a pleasant thing.
Finally, the moment the door of the boys' dormitory closed, the Gryffindor common room returned to calm, and it was only then that Harry was truly relieved that both sides were his friends, and they were arguing in front of so many people, which made Harry feel very embarrassed no matter what.
"What the hell happened to Ron...... Harry asked, "You said Spotted was dead, Crookhill killed it?"
"It can't be!" Hermione said angrily, "my cat doesn't think anything about that damn mouse, and ......"
Hermione paused, she wanted to say that Crookshank didn't have this ability at all, but she had just promised Van Lin and Sirius not to tell anyone about it.
"And...... Crookhill is a very well-behaved cat!"
"It's a monster...... Ron cried, "a pig's body and a troll's brain, and its face looks like it's been flattened by something......"
"Don't you say that about Crookshan......" Hermione was annoyed, "this is my pet!"
"How do you explain this...... "Ron roared, pulling the sheets he was holding behind him in front of the men.
"Take a good look at ......" Ron raised his arm excitedly, and his finger pointed to a stain on the sheet, which was dark red, scattered dotted on the white sheet, which was particularly abrupt.
"It's blood!" Ron shouted, slamming the sheet to the ground, which naturally spread out, and the dark red blood stained looked so glaring.
"You know what's over there......" Ron shouted, looking like an angry lion.
"I don't know ......"
"Ginger hairs...... In all of Gryffindor, only this damn monster in your arms has this color of hair. ā
"A few hairs don't say much about Ron, maybe we can look back in the boys' dorm, maybe Spotted is hiding under someone's bed, you know, Spotted likes to do that. Van Lin said, and Hermione looked very aggrieved.
"That's right, Ron...... Harry said, "we should go up and look for it!"
"Shut up!" Ron cried out like crazy, and Van Lin heard some footsteps upstairs, forcing him to silence several people with his wand.
"I repeat, give me that damn monster ......" Ron said angrily, taking a step forward, as if Hermione would have snatched Crookshank Hill if she hadn't agreed.
"I'm telling you, Ron Weasley, it can't be!" Hermione said angrily, knowing that Ron was wronging her, and she was restrained enough, but in the face of Ron's yelling, Hermione couldn't help but get angry.
"I'm telling you, Crookshank won't give it to you, and even if it was really Crookshank who killed and ate Spotted, so what, if you want to protect your pet, I'm ...... Moreover, an ugly fat stupid mouse, what if it is eaten, in my house, this thing is a pest, I really don't understand why you like a mouse!"
Ron didn't expect Hermione to reject him so justifiably, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
Ron's body trembled a little, and his face was faintly purple because of the congestion, which made Ron look very scary at the moment.
"How's it going?" Ron roared, his voice hoarse, like a wounded beast, but he didn't have time to lick his wounds!
"That's enough, Hermione!" Ron roared loudly again, "don't bring those Muggle stuff here, besides, I've had enough of you...... You're like that, you never pay attention to what Crookshank is going to do, you're doing everything right, isn't it......! You've finally told you what you really thought, Crookshank Mountain has eaten Spotted, and you're going to protect your goddamn monster!"
"I told you, Crookshank couldn't eat Spotted......" Hermione was annoyed, although the girl also felt that her words were too tough, but the facts are the facts, cats eat mice, and there is nothing wrong with that. So Hermione wasn't going to bow down to Ron.
"Impossible? How do you explain cat hair? And as soon as I opened the door, I saw this monster crouching in the door of the boys' dormitory......"
"Maybe the cat hair was there when school started, and besides, the boys' dormitory is opposite the girls' dormitory, so there's nothing strange about Crookhill staying there!"
"You're going to protect it...... "you've always treated me like a fool or an idiot, like I helped you keep Malfoy at bay, and you didn't care about me, like you do now...... My pet Spotted is dead, and you're still protecting that monster!"
Ron's nose was a little sour, and he was very sad about Hermione's behavior.
"Okay Ron...... Harry patted Ron on the shoulder, "Maybe it's a good thing that Spotted died, after all, it's that old, and if it were a normal mouse, it should have died a long time ago, and now Spotted doesn't eat, so it might be a good thing for Spotted to die." ā
"It also bit Goyle's finger, it's my buddy......" Ron seemed to cry.
"Yes, it was his most glorious moment, and his mark will remain on Goyle's hand forever. Harry reassured, "A mouse, we can buy one, there's no need to mess with Hermione." ā
"Maybe Spotted isn't dead yet!" Van Lin said, he could feel the tracking mark on Spotted's body, which was a little faint, but not beyond the maximum range of his senses.
Peter certainly wouldn't have died so easily, Sirius hadn't killed him back then.
Van Lin was about to cast a spell to make the tracking mark on Spotted's body more visible, but Ron rudely interrupted him.
