Chapter 69: Snape's Decision (First New Year's Update, Happy New Year to all)
"No wonder you don't want Lily to know." Snape understood Weston's thoughts, thought for a moment, and said with relief, "Still, I'm going to tell Lily about it. ”
"Although you resurrected Lily, I still want to avenge her, I think, you should know what I mean." Snape said flatly, looking at Weston.
Weston sighed, "Okay, I see. ”
"There are not many magic that can completely hide oneself in the magic world, and there is only one magic that can hide it for so long, except for the compound potion, just like this!" Weston said, pointing his finger at a ladybug that had been caught.
Weston changed another bottle, strapped the ladybug in the bottle, and handed it to Snape.
Snape glanced at Weston, took the bottle, and looked carefully at the ladybug inside: "This is ......"
"Rita Skeeter, a reporter for the Daily Prophet, I think the teacher should know about her." Weston said, "This Miss Reporter is relying on this magic to peek into the wizarding world for all sorts of secrets. ”
"Animagus." Snape nodded, casually tossing the bottle to Weston, "I think I know what you mean." If Peter Pettigrew were really an Animagus, he would be able to do that. ”
"It's just that in this case, I'm afraid it's not easy to find him." Snape sighed, suddenly thought of something, and stared at Weston with burning eyes, "You just seemed to say that you found traces of Peter Pettigrew?" ”
"Yes, teacher." Weston nodded, "There's a student in Gryffindor named Ron Weasley, I don't know if you remember?" ”
"Of course, the little troll." Snape said disdainfully, "He simply didn't inherit the wisdom of the Weasley family at all, and simple scabies potions can fail to be refined!" Perhaps, in him, he can really embody the creativity of magic! ”
"He's stupid or not, it has nothing to do with us, it's mainly his mouse." Weston said meaningfully, "I've heard that his rat pet has been alive for more than ten years, and that's not a normal thing. Besides, the rat seems to have a toe missing from its paws......"
"In other words, Peter Pettigrew has been hiding in the Weasley house for so many years, and their family not only doesn't know about it, but also treats him as a pet?" Snape scoffed, "It seems that the little troll's head is not without a source!" ”
"I don't see it, Peter Pettigrew is bold enough to live under our noses, and Dumbledore's old thing is not clear-headed!"
Snape sprayed venom wantonly, squirting almost the entire backbone of the Order of the Phoenix, and then led Weston straight to the Gryffindor common room.
"Get out of the way, I'm going in!" Snape saw the fat lady and whispered a snort.
The fat lady noticed Weston behind him, screamed, and opened the door directly, it seems that Weston's last behavior left a lot of shadows in her heart.
"You're looking for it, Weston!" After entering the door, Snape gave a direct order.
Weston nodded, and went straight into Harry's dorm.
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Weston saw a large rat sleeping on a sheet, which Ron seemed to call "Spotted".
There was no one in the dormitory, but it saved Weston the effort of explaining, and with a wave of his hand, the sheets directly turned into a cage with very small mesh, and the mouse spots were locked in the cage.
Ignoring the "squeak" of the rats in the cage, Weston pointed directly, and the cage floated to follow him.
"Teacher, it's done!" Weston spoke to Snape succinctly.
"Let's go, let's go find Dumbledore!" Snape ignored the onlookers, glanced at the cage floating in front of Weston's eyes, and said directly.
Weston nodded, followed Snape, and walked straight to the headmaster's office on the eighth floor.
Principal Room.
"You seem to have made a lot of noise, Severus, and Weston." Dumbledore rubbed his eyebrows, "Is that what happened?" ”
Snape looked at Weston and motioned for him to speak.
Weston nodded, and explained his "inference" and "unintentional" discovery in a simple and clear way.
"You mean, this mouse is Peter Pettigrew?" Dumbledore asked.
"Of course, I think it shouldn't be difficult to see with the headmaster's attainments in transformation magic." Weston nodded and said this.
Dumbledore lifted his glasses, leaned closer, took a closer look, then sat back and nodded: "There are indeed traces of Animagus, although it is faint, but it is indeed there." ”
"I don't think it's a trivial matter." Dumbledore said solemnly, "Severus, can you please call Minerva and them?" ”
Snape nodded, turned and walked out of the headmaster's office.
"Phineas, please make a trip to the Ministry of Magic, and ask Minister Fudge to come over!" Dumbledore said to Phineas, "If nothing else, your grandson should be able to come out of Azkaban." ”
"Okay, I'll go!" Phineas said excitedly, and disappeared straight from the portrait frame.
"I think you didn't just take a cage, Weston." Dumbledore looked at the bottle he was holding with interest, "I don't remember, you have a hobby of observing bugs. ”
"This bug doesn't look at it." Weston chuckled and shook his head, placing the bottle in his hand on Dumbledore's table.
Oh? Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, looked carefully at the ladybug in the bottle, was surprised, and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Who would have such audacity except for the female reporter from the Daily Prophet." Weston said with a smile.
"It turned out to be her!" Dumbledore suddenly realized, then shook his head, "Are you going to lock her up like this?" ”
"Or else?" Weston asked rhetorically, "Is it used to feed the chickens?" That's a good idea! ”
Ladybug struggled inside the bottle.
"Forget it, let's wait and see what to do with this little bug." Weston shook his head, "Professor McGonagall, they're here soon, let's see what to do with Peter Pettigrew first!" ”
Dumbledore nodded, no more.
At this moment, the green fire in the fireplace flickered, and then a somewhat impatient voice came: "I need an explanation, Mr. Dumbledore, there are still a lot of things going on in the Ministry!" ”
Immediately after, a tall, balding man with a shy belly walked out, and Weston remembered him as none other than Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic.
"Are you sure the Ministry of Magic has anything else to do?" Snape's sarcastic words came from behind the door, "If I'm not mistaken, the Ministry of Magic should still be pretty quiet right now!" ”
“......”
