"Peter Pettigrew?" McGonagall thought she had misheard, "Or the Dark Wizard?" ”

Her square-eyed eyes looked at Ringo questioningly: "Mr. Shelby, this joke is not funny, not to mention that Peter Pettigrew is not a dark wizard, even he himself died in an explosion against a dark wizard eleven years ago......"

"Dead?" Ringo didn't believe it either, "Did you leave a corpse?" ”

"Enough, it's not a good deed to insult a warrior who died for justice." McGonagall frowned, "Especially ...... Potter, Peter Pettigrew is your father's best friend! ”

Harry's face didn't change when he knew this.

Just repeating Ringo's words: "So Professor McGonagall, did Peter Pettigrew leave behind a body from the explosion eleven years ago?" ”

"What's wrong with you?"

McGonagall finally realized something was wrong and turned her gaze to Hermione, "Miss Granger, you come along." ”

Syllable!

Hermione placed the map on her desk.

"This is a map of the living spots, a little bit more clever than the map of the Shadow Charm, Professor McGonagall, it can record the footprints of all the people who exist in Hogwarts, such as the current ......" Hermione pointed briefly, "McGonagall's office, you and we ......"

"Well, a very clever map." McGonagall gave a brief look and nodded, "And then?" ”

"Then we looked at Harry's bedroom." Hermione moved the map there, "Now, please read out who is in this dorm." ”

"Dean Thomas; Seamus Finigan; Neville Longbottom; Ronald...... Peter Pettigrew? McGonagall's breath was a little shorter, "Peter Pettigrew and Wes are in the same bed?" ”

"Yes." Ringo nodded.

"How is this possible? Peter was blown up ......"

"Is there a corpse? Professor. The three asked almost in unison.

McGonagall took a deep breath: "There is no body, he has been blown up, leaving only a finger ......"

"Professor, Ron has a pet mouse named Spotted, Spotted used to be Percy's pet, you should have an impression, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Spotted has a missing toe on his front leg." "And I asked Ron, and Spotted is just a normal rat who came to Ron's house 11 years ago and hasn't died yet......"

"11 years ago?" McGonagall stood up suddenly, she looked at Ringo, the expression on her face could no longer be determined, "I have to apologize to you, Mr. Shelby, maybe you're right, even if Wesley hadn't been kidnapped, I'm afraid it's dangerous now." ”

"Are you going to Ron's dormitory with us?"

"Yes."

"Don't you call Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"Albus has gone to the Ministry of Magic...... Alright, let's go......"

McGonagall was not an indecisive person.

After making up your mind.

She immediately took her wand and led the three of them to the Gryffindor dormitory, and when she met Filch on the way, she only nodded her head and left the janitor behind who wanted to speak.

Soon.

The four of them came to the fat lady.

"What's the password?" McGonagall looked at the students behind her.

Ringo, who was at the front, said, "Nonsense. ”

"The password is correct." The fat lady was still very honest in front of the professor, and opened the door directly.

It's just that McGonagall looked at Ringo, the "snake courtyard" who said "Gryffindor common room password", and always felt that the style of painting was weird.

Fortunately, she suppressed the weirdness.

Walk straight in.

"There's the dorm, Professor." Harry led the way and led the group to the door of his bedroom.

- The Hogwarts girls' dormitory prohibits boys from entering.

But the men's dormitory can't help anything.

So McGonagall and Hermione both stepped through the door of Harry's bedroom, and McGonagall said, "Be careful. ”

"Yes." Ringo nodded.

He pulled Hermione in front of him and covered the witch's eyes.

Hermione was about to struggle.

I heard the whisper of my beloved boy in my ears: "Hermione, you don't want to see the bodies of other boys, do you?" ”

She stopped struggling.

Honestly followed Ringo with his eyes closed.

Meanwhile.

McGonagall cast an Iron Charm in front of her, and opened the door to her dorm - it was quiet, everyone was sleeping in their pajamas.

Including Ron.

But interestingly, the mouse that used to be next to the pillow is gone.

"Where?" McGonagall asked Harry.

Harry ran over to check, "It was still by the pillow just now......"

The words fell.

He accidentally bumped into the table at the head of the bed.

Wake up Seamus on the side: "Harry? You're coming back so late, you...... Oh, Mai—"

McGonagall struck with a spell.

Seamus was immediately silenced.

But even so, the sound he had just spoken was enough to wake up the others.

For example, Neville, who was in a light sleep, and Ron, who was closest to him, saw Ron open his eyes in a daze: "Harry, what are you going to do?" ”

He clutched his chest and curled up, looking at Harry in front of him, and ...... Ringo and McGonagall behind Harry: "Professor? You ......"

"Shh Harry booed, "Where's Spotted? There's something wrong with it. ”

"Something wrong with Spotted?" Ron was a big mouth and immediately cried out, "What's wrong with Spotted?" ”

As he spoke.

He sat up, took out the awakened Spotted from his pocket, and held it in his arms: "You want to bully my Spotted? ”

"It's not bullying, it's ......helping," Harry explained embarrassedly.

"So sneaky to help?"

"Ron, take your hands away, hurry up, you're still obsessed?"

"How can it be......" Ron exclaimed with his eyes pierced, "I won't allow you to bully my Madara-"

Sou!

Seeing her chance, McGonagall struck Spotted with a spell.

The next moment.

Spotted squeaked, its body swelled up rapidly, and the cry gradually changed from "squeak" to "ahhh

"Ahh

Immediately let go of his arms and ran from the bed to Ringo, completely devoid of the resoluteness he had just had to protect Madra.

And the spotted ......

Or Peter Pettigrew.

When he finally woke up from his daze, his heart was pounding, and he slowly turned his head to look at McGonagall who was facing him, "Teach, Professor?" ”

fo

"Peter." McGonagall's tone was complicated, "How did you end up like this?" What happened back then? ”

"I ......"

Peter Pettigrew stammered, "I don't know, Professor, I woke up like this, there must have been some vicious magic that turned me into a ......"

"You were conjured back by me with the Animagus Counterspell." McGonagall frowned, "Don't tell me this Transfiguration Professor, the Animagus Transfiguration doesn't have your subjective thoughts. ”

"I know, yes, I became, I was just scared, that's why I ......"

Peter Pettigrew explained in a panic.

But that's not the end of the story.

He suddenly rolled to the other side of the bed, and before McGonagall could cast another spell, he turned into a rat the moment he landed, and rushed down the corner of the wall into the darkness to the bedroom window.

That's too fast.

Coupled with the darkness and the sympathy of the former students, it did affect her judgment, so much so that McGonagall was slightly stunned, and by the time she could react again, the rat had already rushed to the windowsill......

And yet—

That's when it happened.

Ringo, who had been half-hugging Hermione and covering the little girl's eyes, did not speak much, but threw out a spell.

Syllable!

The rat that was passing through the window fence froze for a moment.

The next moment.

It swelled up and stuck to the window like a giant rat......

……

Early morning.

Hogwarts gates.

Dumbledore and the Minister for Magic, Fudge, were followed by several Aurors to the castle.

It's just that the faces of the two of them are not very good-looking.

The former ignores the latter.

But Fudge still followed: "Dumbledore, you know that this is a normal process, after all, according to what you said, the Philosopher's Stone is protected layer by layer, how can Quirrell get it, unless there is an internal response, and who is the internal response?" Only Shelby, who is rumored to be the son of a mysterious man, is the most likely, and he must be investigated......"

"He has nothing to do with Voldemort." Dumbledore couldn't help but speak, "He was petrified that day, too. ”

"It's not certain, in case it's self-directed and self-acting......"

"Fudge, he's just a child, and as Minister of Magic, you're slandering an innocent child like that? Still arresting him for questioning without any evidence? ”

"Innocent? None of the things he did were innocent, bullying and controlling his classmates, what is the difference between him and a mysterious person? To be honest, I don't want to do that, if he does a 'righteous' thing, if he does a real 'rebellion' against the mysterious man, I won't be ......."

The words did not fall.

McGonagall dragged a chubby man over to her: "Albus, I think, Sirius's eucalyptus can be turned, he was wronged." Peter Pettigrew is the real culprit who took refuge in the mysterious man, he didn't die in the explosion 11 years ago, but left a severed finger, and then turned into a rat with an illegal Animagus, and hid in Wesley's house to become a pet rat......"

"Peter? You're not dead? Taken refuge in a mysterious man? Dumbledore stared at the fat man for a moment before continuing, "Minerva, how did you find out?" ”

"It's not me ......"

McGonagall pulled out a map of the living spots: "Shelby found it...... Hey? Secretary Fudge is also there? Why is your face so ugly? ”

Fudge: "......"

He smiled awkwardly at the female professor, and then looked at the fat man curiously: "Who is this?" Peter Pettigrew, what do you mean? ”

"Secretary Fudge should remember Sirius Blake's murder of Peter Pettigrew 11 years ago......," McGonagall said simply, "Now it's clear that the story was wrong, Peter Pettigrew was the one who took refuge in the mystery man, and Sirius was wronged......"

"Who found out?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

McGonagall was confused.

But he said, "It's Ringo Shelby, he has a map of the Shadow Spell in his hand, and on the map he found Peter Pettigrew hiding in Wesley's bedroom......"

"Oh, I see......"

Dumbledore reverted to his old self in an instant, first dragging a long tune in response.

Then he smiled and turned his head to look at Fudge with an embarrassed face: "It seems that the son of the mysterious man is arresting the henchmen of the mysterious man, what an 'evil' thing this is, he should be arrested and questioned, do you say?" Secretary Fudge. ”

Fudge: "......"
