Sirius and his father teamed up to create a special map when they were in school.

The names of any creatures with a name and a certain number of living characteristics will be displayed on the map, and the specific location and movement trajectory will also be marked.

Whether it's a strong man like Professor Dumbledore, a ghost like Peeves, or an ordinary animal like Lady Loris, it's impossible to avoid being marked by the map.

In order to inherit his prankster career, Sirius deliberately had Filch confiscate the map before graduation.

In order to capture Peter Pettigrew, Professor Lupin went to Filch for the map.

Unfortunately, Filch didn't know when he lost the map, and he only found out about it when Professor Lupin went to ask for it.

At that time, Professor Lupin mentioned to Sirius:

"Filch had put the map in the cabinet that said 'confiscated items, high danger.'"

Professor Lupin was probably talking about the cabinet in front of Harry.

Based on all the information, Harley, you can basically determine that the identity of the short man is Peter Pettigrew.

Hallie moved over and opened the surviving drawer.

Inside the drawer are stacks of neatly placed files, which record the glorious deeds of the seniors of the past generations.

Harley also saw a letter with the words "Quick Chanting, Introductory Correspondence Course in Magic" on the envelope.

It dawned on Hallie that it was no wonder that Filch, as a Squib, could still hold a wand, and it turned out that he had signed up for this class.

This kind of quick mantra course for Squibs, which borders on scamming money, usually gives the leeks a magic wand.

However, that kind of wand is only made by wand craftsmen who can't sell it in normal business, and it is simply useless in terms of quality.

"It's not a good wand, but it's a wand." Hallie's silvery fingertips ran across the surface of the envelope,

"Peter Pettigrew has a wand, and the danger has risen again."

Knowing what she wanted to know, Harley turned around and left the room, heading towards Professor Snape's office.

As she approached the door to Professor Snape's office, Hallie stopped again.

At this point in time, although the deans were on patrol, it could not be ruled out that Professor Snape had set up a surveillance-type magic in his office.

There's only one way to Professor Snape's office, and it's the same for backtracking here.

After a busy time, Harley got the information she needed again:

The diminutive man sneaked out of Professor Snape's office with a pile of materials in his arms.

"I'm exhausted." Hallie finished the backtracking, stabilized her somewhat illusory body, and prepared to go back to rest.

But as soon as she turned around, her expression froze.

Two powerful auras suddenly broke into his perceptual range.

"Good evening, Harley." An old man looked at him with a smile on his face, and a golden-red firebird stood on his shoulder.

The flames on the firebird's body were slowly dissipating, and it was obvious that he had just used the Phantom Manifestation.

Fawkes brushed his feathers through his mouth and glanced sympathetically at Harley.

Harrie suddenly reacted that her ability to backtrack didn't show Professor Dumbledore's form, so she didn't know what he had done.

If Professor Dumbledore had placed surveillance magic in Filch's office and in the hallway outside Professor Snape's office, he would have no way of knowing.

“…… Good evening, Professor Dumbledore. ”

After a moment of silence, Harley raised her hand in greeting, an awkward smile on her face.

"It was a good night, wasn't it?"

Professor Dumbledore didn't seem to feel anything strange about his surroundings at all,

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk."

"But I really didn't expect that you actually have the same interests and hobbies as an old man like me."

"Are you using the Patronus as a body to carry your consciousness for a walk? What an interesting choice. ”

Harley didn't blink, and instantly typed the draft:

"Actually, Professor Dumbledore, I'm not here for a walk, I'm looking for that damn Death Eater, Sirius Black."

"You know, he gave Voldemort information that led to the death of my parents."

"So I want to catch him with my own hands and collect some of the debt for my parents this Halloween."

The corners of Professor Dumbledore's mouth twitched when he heard Harry's last words:

"Son, I think these matters can be left to the Ministry of Magic, and his crimes should be adjudicated by the Ministry of Magic in accordance with the law."

"But this is Europe, Professor Dumbledore." Harry's voice suddenly became slightly stiff,

"In Europe, both Muggles and wizards support the oldest codes, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

"Blood revenge is a matter of course, dear professor, no one has the right to interfere."

Professor Dumbledore didn't know what to say for a while, and finally changed the subject bluntly:

"Hallie, I've heard Professor Lupin mention that you've mastered the Patronus Charm."

"Now it seems that you have a much better situation than I guessed."

"I don't remember writing in my notes about the advanced use of using the Patronus to carry consciousness, but I didn't expect you to develop it yourself."

"Yes, Professor." Hallie nodded, gently holding a snake hair rubbing against her cheek with her hand.

"Your notebook has inspired me a lot. I easily summoned the formed Patronus with a pleasant memory. ”

"But as you can see, there is something special about my Patronus, a magical creature that is almost mythical, the legendary Medusa."

"It's amazing, Harley, do you know what it means to be a Patronus in the form of a magical beast?"

Professor Dumbledore's eyes were inquisitive and inexplicable,

"Although there were few samples, I tried to do some research and made some assumptions that the Patronus should be in the same form as the Animagus."

"Professor McGonagall, for example, has both a Patronus and an Animagus form. The same is true of several other Animagus. ”

"And the patron saint in the form of magical beasts...... I think you should know that wizards can't transform into Animagus in the form of magical beasts at the moment. ”

"And the wizards I know of who have a magical beast patronus have no record of being an Animagus."

Speaking of which, Dumbledore stared at Harry's silver eyes intensely:

"Harley, I don't have anything to remind you of the Patronus in the form of Fantastic Beasts."

"But if you want to learn Animagus, you have to be careful."
