The two of them made their way to the basement without a sound, and they didn't encounter anyone or ghosts on the way.

After passing through the Hufflepuff common room, the two men stood in front of the portrait.

Harley expertly scratched the pear and opened the door to the kitchen.

At this time, the kitchen is still brightly lit.

Wrapped in cloth around their noses and mouths, the house-elves carefully boiled several large cauldrons of an unidentified red liquid that smelled of blood.

When they saw two young wizards entering, one of whom was Harry Potter, they immediately gathered around them excitedly.

The house-elves were wearing tea towels with Hogwarts crest on them, and the house-elves at the head of the group had a pinned badge to their tea towel to signify their status as head chef.

"Miss Harry Potter, Miss Hermione Granger, is there anything that bits can do for you?"

The house-elf bit shrieked,

"I'm sorry, the kitchen smells bad right now, and we need to help Professor Snape with some dragon's blood."

Harley looked at the dragon's blood in the pot and couldn't help but shake her head.

Just now she clearly saw that the materials added by the house-elves were not the materials needed to deal with dragon blood.

Hallie speculated that the final user of the pot of dragon's blood should be Professor Barbling.

Professor Dumbledore would not allow the Bloodline to suck blood from Hogwarts, so she would have to buy magical dragon's blood for her three meals.

Anyway, the funds were all from the school trustees, and Professor Dumbledore didn't feel distressed at all when he spent them.

But everything was pushed at Professor Snape...... Hallie was not convinced by Professor Snape!

Of course, Harley wasn't bored enough to debunk them, but showed the image on her mirror:

"I'd like to ask you a favor, do you know which Hogwarts room is in this picture?"

"Yes!" Bit glanced at it and immediately replied, "Bit knows here!" ”

"This is the room where the Room of Requirement is used to hide things! The entry passphrase is 'Need a place to hide'! ”

Hallie and Hermione glanced at each other, not expecting to find their target so easily.

Coincidentally, Harley had wanted to perform the ritual in the Room of Requirement, only to find out that it was occupied.

Unexpectedly, the occupant happened to be Peter Pettigrew.

"Thank you very much." Harley smiled kindly at the house-elves, causing them to scream again.

"No thanks, house-elves are proud to have helped the great Harley Potter!"

……

"Are you sure you want to go with me to that traitor?" On the way to the Room of Requirement, Harley whispered,

"There is likely to be a fight between me and that traitor, and it could be dangerous."

Listening to Hallie's words, Hermione's footsteps did not stop:

"Humph! Do you think I'm going to be scared? I'm also the second in my grade, and I definitely have the ability to protect myself. ”

As she spoke, Hermione raised her head haughtily, like a haughty swan.

Hallie shook her head, it seemed that the little witch didn't know the difference between theory and practice.

But it didn't matter, against a mouse that didn't have a wand, Harley was confident that she could catch him and protect Hermione at the same time.

So it's good to let Hermione see a real fight.

The two of them returned to the door of the Room of Requirement, and Hallie walked back and forth three times in front of the wall, thinking to herself:

"I need a place to hide something."

A sleek wooden door suddenly appeared on the wall.

Harley didn't hesitate, holding her wand tightly in her right hand as she carefully pushed the door in.

Hermione, on the other hand, looked at the open door, which was pitch black and unshray, and she couldn't see what was inside.

She swallowed hard and clenched her wand as she remembered a few spells in her mind that could be used to fight, she followed closely behind Harry.

As soon as she entered the room, Hermione felt like she was enveloped in darkness everywhere.

She subconsciously reached forward and grabbed Harry's free left hand.

"Scared?" Harley's chuckle came from the front, and her left hand squeezed slightly.

"Not really!" Hermione tried to make her tone look fierce, but it was obviously not fierce, at most it was fierce.

Harley shook her head, "Looks like I'm going to have to cast a little magic on you." ”

With that, Harley let go of her hand and pulled the mirror out of her pocket.

Before Hermione could be disappointed by Hallie's release, she felt an aura melt into her body.

Hermione blinked, and suddenly she realized that she could see everything in the room!

"A little magic of the auxiliary type that allows you to have night vision for an hour."

Harley explained casually, her eyes fixed on the mirror.

Upon entering the Room of Requirement, the previous distractions suddenly disappeared.

Now, Harley can use the Magic Mirror to locate Peter Pettigrew.

……

Peter Pettigrew is a little flustered right now.

As the most capable wizard, Sirius Black had been sent to Azkaban, but he had been lurking in the Weasley house for twelve years.

Coincidentally, Peter, who had severed his fingers to survive, fled all the way, and his fear even made him ignore the injuries on his hands.

As a result, when he fled to the vicinity of Weasley's house, the whole person was too much bleeding to support him, and he fainted directly.

Before he fell unconscious, Peter thought he was dead and had to die as a rat at the mouth of the sewer.

Unexpectedly, he was saved by the Weasleys and adopted by a boy named Percy who couldn't afford a pet.

Peter also took the opportunity to live here as a mouse, after all, Arthur Weasley was an employee of the Ministry of Magic.

Although he won the Wizarding War because of his ideology and position, he was still marginalized.

However, Arthur is still an office director, and he has many friends, so he can know a lot of important information in advance.

Living in such a family, if his old master makes a comeback, then he can also know and go to the first place to express his loyalty.

Of course, this was just Peter's thought of comforting himself. He knew in his heart that there was only one fundamental reason why he was willing to live as a rat -

Peter Pettigrew did not dare to live as a human.

What if there were hardcore Death Eaters outside the prison who knew they were traitors?

What if a Death Eater in a prison wants to get away with it, and knows he's alive, so he reports himself?

What if Sirius told the truth in prison?

The cowardly Peter did not dare to gamble, nor did he want to gamble.

In this way, Peter was a mouse, and this was twelve years.

He thought he would live like this for the rest of his life, but that's not bad, isn't it?

He has good food to eat every day, and he can sleep after eating without any worries. With these conditions, it was enough for Peter.

It's a pity that this comfortable life ended this semester.

On the train, Peter saw Sirius and Lupin in the distance.

He didn't hesitate, and hid that night in a secret passage close to the kitchen.

At the same time, Peter began to operate his brain, which had not been active for twelve years, and pondered what holes he needed to fill.

He had tried to get his hands on the map of the live spot so that he could know where Lupin and Sirius were, so he could avoid them in advance.

Unfortunately, the map was no longer with Filch, and Peter couldn't find it for a long time.

Peter had no choice but to steal potions from the old bat and brew potions in the magical house he had stumbled upon.

With the help of potions, Peter successfully cast a spell and erased himself from the map of the living spots.

Thinking he was safe, Peter began to wander the secret passages of Hogwarts, returning to sleep only when he was particularly tired.

He wondered if there was a way to kill Sirius or get the Dementors to give him a kiss.

In this way, everything is unproven, and he can appear as a hero, regain the sun, and claim that he has secretly protected Harley for twelve years, so as to obtain greater benefits.

But tonight, as he lay on a dilapidated bed that had been turned out of the garbage heap, thinking about his plans, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart.

After being a rat for so long, Peter had become more astute in his sense of danger.

Peter subconsciously did so, and picked up the wand that was placed next to the bed.

The wand is of poor quality and doesn't fit you well, but it's better than nothing.

But before he could do anything, a voice came from the darkness, and said something that made him panic:

"Hello, Peter Pettigrew."

……

Once inside the room, Harley and Hermione kept moving in the direction indicated on the magic mirror.

Along the way, they passed by a large number of "garbage heaps".

Presumably, all the people or creatures who discovered this room piled up their unwanted items here, leaving the waste here piling up.

Hallie even felt the magic in some of the garbage heaps, some of which were familiar to Harley.

But Harley didn't have time to explore the place right now.

The two of them crossed a trolley specimen and finally came to a clearing.

The garbage had been moved elsewhere by Peter Pettigrew, leaving only a large dirty bed.

When Harley saw Peter from afar, she reached out to stop Hermione.

At the same time, a line of small words appeared on the magic mirror: "The traitor in front of him." ”

"You listen to me right away, aim in the direction of the bed as I speak, and cover the stun spell as much as possible. Don't do anything else. ”

Hermione was startled, then nodded vigorously.

After communicating with Hermione, Harley looked back at the clearing, and at the same time, with a slight force in her left hand, she threw the magic mirror into the air.

The mirror automatically hovered above Hallie's head, and there was a condensation of gray and green light inside.

And Harry's free hand didn't know when it had already grasped the dagger, and at the same time, the two gloves glowed spiritually.

"Hello, Peter Pettigrew." Hallie's voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Pettigrew was stunned for a second, and then subconsciously wanted to turn into a mouse.

After twelve years of cowardly living in the form of a rat, the option of rebellion could no longer be on Peter's list of choices in the first place.

Now, whoever finds out who he is, Pettigrew will choose to run away first.

Only when his life is assured that he will think about fighting back and finding a way to kill the wizard who knows that he is still alive.

But Peter's transformation was unsuccessful, as voices echoed in the room.

"Distort and magnify!"

"The Law of All Laws, Transfiguration is forbidden here!"

"Judgment criminals can't concentrate!"

"Shock!"

Considering that the target would turn into a rat and escape, Harley did not immediately release a wide range of attacks, but chose to use the abilities of two extraordinary items to limit Peter's ability to escape first.

She also knew that it was difficult for the strength of the law of all laws to completely limit Animagus, at least she was not fully sure of it, and she had not practiced it.

But as long as the other party can be marked as a criminal, it is enough, so that the ability to judge can be effective, and the effect of deterrence will be stronger.

Professor McGonagall had taught her in class that the casting of the Animagus spell required concentration.

Otherwise, the mild consequence is also failure, and in severe cases, it may even lead to permanent irreversible damage to the wizard's body.

As the master of Animagus, Pettigrew used this spell for twelve years in a row, and did not suffer any serious damage, but simply failed to cast the spell.

But just a second of stunned thinking is enough to decide the outcome of the battle.

Hermione's stun spell followed, and a precise human stroke came.

But this was also expected by Harley.

After all, without a long time of practice, the little witch will inevitably be a little nervous when she directly conducts the first actual battle.

So Hermione's three spells were completely off target, and the most recent one was some distance from Pettigrew's hand, which was understandable.

Of course, Harley didn't expect Hermione to succeed, and let Hermione cast the spell just to put a little psychological pressure on Pettigrew, and by the way, to give Hermione a sense of involvement.

The gray and green light in the magic mirror erupted, instantly merging into Pettigrew's body.

Pettigrew simply didn't have time to resist, and he couldn't resist.

He wanted to move his body, use spells to protect himself, or turn into a rat, but he couldn't.

"Don't resist," Harley walked up to Pettigrew, spider silk pouring out of the void, firmly binding his limbs,

"With your current strength, you can't break the shackles of the curse. Now, even if you escape, I can easily get you back. ”

A frightened expression appeared on Pettigrew's face.

As soon as he opened his mouth to say something, he was hit by a stun spell and lost consciousness.

Before losing consciousness, Pettigrew had only one thought left in his mind: "It's over, it's all over." ”

Hallie looked at the unconscious Pettigrew, shook her head, and whispered:

"Hello, this is our first meeting, Uncle Peter Pettigrew."
