Saying goodbye to Sawana, the three of them continued along the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Soon, they saw Harry and his two friends coming out of Hagrid's hut.

"Good evening, Harry, Ron, Hermione."

As the trio approached, Scott offered to say hello.

"This is Roger, this is Eddie."

He pointed to his two roommates.

The three Harry also stopped to greet them.

"You're going to Hagrid?"

Scott asked casually, but his eyes were fixed on the mouse that was sleeping in Ron's hand.

Ron replied, "Oh yes, Hagrid hasn't been in a good mood ever since those damn spiders finally died. ”

"Hey! Ron! Don't say that, it's Hagrid's friend, he's sad enough. Hermione couldn't help but scold him.

"yes." Ron shook his head and said, "Hagrid's cannibalistic friends. ”

Harry patted Ron on the shoulder and sighed, "I wish Hagrid could make some normal friends. ”

At this moment, even Hermione couldn't help but nod in agreement.

It was only when Ron turned to look at her that she raised her chin proudly.

Scott was in his heart.

As far as he knew, Professor Kettleburn of the Conservation of Fantastic Beasts class had retired at the end of the semester.

If nothing happens, Hagrid will take office next semester.

With his hobbies, I'm afraid that next semester's Magical Beasts Conservation class will be a chicken.

But right now, Scott is more interested in the rat in Ron's hand.

"Is this your pet?" He told Ron, "It doesn't look good. ”

"Oh...... Yes, it's spotted. Ron lowered his head and touched the gray mouse, and said with some embarrassment, "It's old, useless, and can't wake up all day." ”

"It's a magical rat that has been in Ron's house for almost 12 years and was Percy's pet before."

Harry saw that Scott seemed interested in the rat and helped introduce him.

"It's sleeping in its dorm all the time, and Ron wants Hagrid to help see if it's dying."

"That's normal, isn't it?" Ron said with some sadness, "I mean, it's getting old, and there's something you can't change. ”

As he spoke, he also lovingly touched the unsightly fur on the mouse's body.

Hermione comforted Ron, "Spotted is already strong, I've never heard of an average rat survive that long." ”

"12 years? Maybe it has some magical beast blood. Eddie couldn't help but lean over to Ron to take a closer look at the mouse.

"No, it's just a normal mouse." Ron frowned and said, "Its only strength is that it lives longer than other rats." ”

"Can I take a look?" Scott pretended to be interested.

"Oh." Ron held out his hand, "It's not a big deal, it's just a mouse." ”

Scott reached out and touched the rat's back.

"Indeed." He nodded, "I can't feel the magic in it." ”

Ron withdrew his hand and sighed, "I hope it can survive this summer, otherwise, Mom and Dad won't have the money to buy me a new pet." ”

At this time, Roger said, "It's too much trouble to have pets, neither I nor Scott have any." ”

"I remember you had a raven?" Harry looked at Scott, "Oh, I remember beating Malfoy. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I conjured it up with Transfiguration." Scott whispered, and made a "shhh

"Well, I'm not going to say it." Harry gloated a little, "Malfoy never knew whose raven pecked him. ”

After a few more conversations, they parted.

When Harry and the others were gone, Roger immediately said, "Scott, there's something wrong with that mouse?" ”

"I think so." Eddie looked at Scott as well.

"Why do you say that?" Scott asked.

Roger smiled, "Heh, you're not the kind of person who is interested in rats, even if the rats don't live a little longer. ”

Eddie continued, "Not to mention touching it with your hands." ”

"Okay." Scott shrugged his shoulders, "You know me well. ”

"Tell me about it." Eddie was intrigued and eagerly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Scott said directly, "I suspect that rat is some wizard's Animagus." ”

"What?"

Roger's Eddie's eyes widened as he exclaimed loudly.

"I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think it's a big possibility." Scott said.

"Impossible!" Eddie said, "What wizard would be willing to be a rat for a long time? And it's been a long 12 years! ”

Roger nodded, "Indeed, turning into a rat lasts 12 years?" It's mad to think about. ”

Scott smiled, "Maybe it had a reason to have to hide?" ”

Eddie still doesn't believe it, "There are many places to hide in this world, you don't have to be a mouse and be a pet by a little wizard!" ”

"I didn't judge it just because the rat lived 12 years." "There's magic hidden in it, that kind of magic that's so hard to perceive," Scott said. ”

Probably unless he had such a talent for perception, the average wizard would never notice anything wrong.

"Maybe that's why it lives for 12 years?" Eddie said.

"No, I can feel the traces of Transfiguration." Scott affirmed.

He turned to face the castle.

"Let's go find Professor McGonagall."

Now that it's been encountered, and there's a reason, there's no reason why Scott shouldn't settle this matter in advance.

He didn't want to get up close and personal with the Dementors next semester like he did in the "books".

Moreover, the holiday is coming soon.

This means that even if this matter is opened now, it will not affect them, the students who are about to leave the academy.

"Oh! I'm going to have to check it out! Eddie chased after him.

Scott walked briskly to the outside of Professor McGonagall's office on the second floor of the castle.

Roger and Eddie stopped at the other end of the hallway.

Scott raised his hand and knocked lightly on the office door.

"Please come in."

The office door opened.

"Good evening, Professor McGonagall."

Scott walked into his office alone and found the painting he had given Professor McGonagall hanging on the wall.

Professor McGonagall, who was sitting behind her desk, looked up and was surprised to see that it was Scott.

"Good evening, Mr. Trollope." She said, "What's the matter?" ”

"There's one thing I have to tell you, Professor McGonagall."

Scott closed the door and walked over to Professor McGonagall's desk.

"I wonder if you've seen Ron's pet mouse?"

"Mr. Weasley's pet?" Professor McGonagall pushed the glasses off her face and looked at Scott, "I didn't pay attention to the students' pets, so what's wrong with Mr. Weasley's mice?" ”

"I suspect that rat is some wizard's Animagus." Scott said directly.

Professor McGonagall paused.

"Are you sure?" She looked at Scott in surprise.
