Chapter 108: The Cat and Mouse Game at Hogwarts (2-in-1)

Probably to recharge and prepare for tomorrow's exam, the snoring in the dormitory was particularly loud, and there was also a smell of burnt incense, looking at the handful of bones scattered on the table, it was estimated that someone had packed chicken legs from the auditorium back for a supper.

There were a lot of black pieces and bones piled together, someone should have used a fire charm to heat it up, but unfortunately, he shouldn't have mastered the fire, and it was scorched, fortunately he didn't burn the dormitory, otherwise it would have been a lot of fun.

It can only be said that it is worthy of Gryffindor.

After the three of them walked into the dormitory, they didn't know what magic was used, and the room fell into a state of 'static', although the snoring was still there, but except for the four people sleeping soundly on the four-poster bed, everything in the room was frozen by magic.

The bed rose silently, the cabinets and tables on the side also floated into the air, and countless bits and pieces flew slowly in the air under the control of magic, and this carpet search would not let anything go.

But after half a ring, Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "He's not here, there are no other living creatures in the dormitory except for them, the elves clean the dormitory every day, and I haven't even found a single cockroach." ”

"Is that so?"

Harry frowned slightly, maybe in this world, Peter Pettigrew didn't choose to become a mouse and live in the Weasley house? Harry, who was a little confused, planned to ask the twins tomorrow, but if he didn't find them in the dormitory, it didn't mean that the rats really didn't exist.

But at this moment, Harry's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a picture frame, he subconsciously reached out and fished it, so he saw a group photo of the Weasleys in front of the Burrow, this photo was taken several years ago, as the eldest son Bill and Charlie, who graduated last year, are still in the frame at the moment, the family with a smile on their faces waved at him in a friendly way after seeing Harry, the photos of the wizarding world will move, but the people in it are different from the portraits, they can't leave the photos to visit other places.

Seeing Harry staring intently at this group photo, Dumbledore, who was a little strange, also cast a staring gaze, just when Dumbledore was puzzled, a rat-eyed mouse head poked out of Little Percy's pocket of clothes, and the photo that was originally in action froze, Grindelwald's finger pointing to the frame stretched forward, pointing to the inconspicuous little black dot.

"You guessed it right." The corners of Grindelwald's mouth curled into a faint smile, "Look, we've found him." ”

The mouse in the photo is holding the edge of his pocket with a small paw, and his left front paw is missing a small finger compared to the right one.

"We're looking for the wrong person, but we seem to be looking for the right person."

"What a wonderful encounter, maybe you are also favored by fate?"

"Maybe." Harry nodded slightly, "I brought the Truth Elixir." ”

He pulled out a thumb-sized glass bottle from the small bag on his chest, which contained a dozen drops of clear liquid, with a handwritten label attached to the bottle.

"Severus is really"

The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched, he was a person who knew the inside story, but was it a bit too much to give this thing to his godson?

"It's good to take the mind of the gods, and I think I'll leave it to Peter."

Dumbledore didn't want Harry to use this potion on the Weasley children, although Snape's products must be high-quality and there would be no sequelae, but the terrible smell should spare the lives of these children.

"Listen to you, Professor."

Harry nodded, and withdrew the vial, but his silent gaze brought an inexplicable pressure to turn around and run.

"If Peter's transformed rat is Percy's pet, then it is indeed easy to attack him, in the case of finding a scapegoat agent, the risk of his exposure is indeed very low, timid and afraid of death but still a little clever, it is a rat."

Hehe laughed, Grindelwald seemed quite happy with such a plot.

If it was really all this led by Peter Pettigrew, then he really played everyone up, and if it weren't for Harry's bold guess at the end, he wouldn't have revealed his identity after Voldemort took the blame for him.

The three of them left the dormitory to find Percy, but they immediately came back in a circle, and they came to the dormitory with the smell of chicken legs, the mouse used to be Percy's pet, but after Ron went to school, the gray mouse was transferred to Ron.

Dumbledore had delved into this magic very deeply, and it seemed that it would be easier for him to 'ask' in his dreams than when he was awake.

"We're late."

Dumbledore, who showed a wry smile of helplessness, shook his head, what happened tonight was really bad.

"The rat was indeed brought to Hogwarts by Ron, but after Ron found the scapegoat at Christmas, the Weasleys bought him a rewarding gift, including an owl that Ron wanted."

"A month ago, Ron's owl came and was taken to the dorm by him, and Peter's deformed mouse"

The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched, and the memory images he read in Ron's mind were really a little unlucky.

Since following Ron, Peter's life has suddenly become better, compared to Percy, Ron's thick nerves make him live a life of doing whatever he wants, Percy thinks that a fat gray-haired mouse is not a good pet, all the time, Percy has kept him in a cage, hardly takes him out of the dormitory, and regularly feeds him with bread and water, although the amount is full, but he almost didn't vomit after eating for several years.

But Ron is different, although Ron doesn't think rats are good pets, but this guy is stupid, although he rings himself, but he doesn't care about himself at all, what touches Peter even more is that Ron is a foodie, and he will pack the chicken thighs back after screwing the chicken thighs at dinner time, the fragrant chicken thighs are ten thousand times better than bread, and he can still grind his teeth with those bones that are thrown on the table.

After turning into a mouse, many of his habits have been assimilated by the mouse, which is the inevitable consequence of maintaining the Animagus for a long time, and there are even weak-willed wizards who forget the fact that they are human after a long period of transformation, Peter is very timid, but he has experienced strong winds and waves.

But this leisurely life was broken by a damn owl, in order to reward Ron, the Weasleys squeezed out a little money to change his wand, because of the shyness of the pocket, the second gift owl was bought for him a few months later, and Ron, who was so excited that he almost ran on Hogwarts, immediately brought the owl back and opened the cage for it.

Peter, who was lying in his textbook and munching on the leftover potato chips he ate yesterday and humming a song, instantly encountered the disaster of blood and light under the top of the dark clouds, and the owl who flew all the way to the door with a cage was hungry at the moment, and such a big fat mouse was put in front of it, and the owl's eyes were green.

An eagle slammed into the owl that came and sprinted, and with one claw it buckled into Peter's fat belly, and he was disemboweled, and he almost died on the spot.

If it weren't for the food he had fed him in the past few months, and there was a thick layer of fat in his stomach, otherwise the first blow just now would have taken him away directly.

The terrible scream finally woke up his little master's not very good brain, the child was a little stupid, but he didn't see death and didn't save him, he picked up the owl and saved Peter a rat's life, if it was a little later, the owl's sharp beak would tear open his belly, and he began to enjoy this fresh food, Peter who didn't dare to stay any longer fled in a hurry, dragging a trail of blood and disappearing out of the door.

"Maybe he hasn't left Hogwarts yet." Dumbledore pondered and spoke, "Peter is not lightly injured, although it will kill him, but it will take a little time to recover, although he can't use magic, the Animagus transformed animals are still much stronger than ordinary animals." ”

"Transforming back into human form can't heal his injuries, physical injuries can't bring back to wizarding form, but the wounds won't go away, Peter, who can't recover from his injuries by magical means, needs time to recuperate, he shouldn't run away from Hogwarts, this is a familiar place for him, it's easier to find food and hiding places than anywhere else."

"So we need to play an unpleasant game of cat and mouse with him now?"

Suppressing the irritability in his heart, Harry said with a frown.

"Maybe we can get a trick?"

At this moment, a somewhat interesting thought popped into Dumbledore's clever mind, "Hogwarts is very big, this castle can accommodate 10,000 people without being crowded, even I don't know how many rooms Hogwarts has, the space inside the castle has been expanded by magic, not to mention the vast number of secret hiding places." ”

"Let's go."

Dumbledore turned and left the dormitory, walking through the common room to the hallway outside.

"There are so many secrets in Hogwarts, and even though I'm the headmaster of Hogwarts, I don't know all the secrets of this castle."

Dumbledore, who was leading the way, seemed to be in a good mood, and he said briskly, which seemed to calm Harry's mood.

"Once I took a wrong turn when I went to the toilet and entered a wonderful room with all sorts of delicate and luxurious pots, and when people were in dire need, a hidden door would open on the wall in front of them, but we don't need to try our luck now, this door that can appear anywhere in the castle actually has a fixed entrance."

"Look, we're here."

Dumbledore stopped in front of an empty wall, and on the opposite side of this wall hung a tapestry of the troll stick beating Barnabas, one of the few corridors in Hogwarts that did not have a portrait to hang, and it was empty.

"As long as Peter is still hiding somewhere in Hogwarts"

Dumbledore pointed to the blank wall in front of him, "Mind your needs, walk back and forth in front of this wall three times, and the door of the Room of Request will open for you." ”

"Try it, Harry, maybe there's what you're looking for behind the door."

Dumbledore gave way to Harry, muttering 'I need to go to Peter Pettigrew', and Harry walked back and forth on the blank wall three times, and when he opened his eyes, a wooden door that was often seen in Hogwarts appeared in front of him.

At the beginning, Harry also planned to ask Fred and George to borrow the live point map, Harry didn't have the idea of keeping him for himself, even if it was made by his father back then, but the live point map is really useful, it can show the location and name of everyone in Hogwarts, if it is troublesome to find a needle in a haystack, he also plans to find Lupin, as one of the makers, Lupin must know some tricks that the twins don't know.

But what I never expected was that Dumbledore found a more effective method, in addition to not being able to conjure food and gold, the Room of Requirement can meet the needs of most people, and the name of Responsive is quite apt, and even open a new secret passage to Hogwarts, which is a very incredible magic, and ordinary wizards will definitely not be able to do this.

Perhaps this is the powerful magic left behind by one of the four founders who founded Hogwarts, each of whom has a power that ordinary wizards could not imagine.

Harry was a little nervous holding the doorknob, hoping that the Room of Requirement would grant his wish, which was outrageous but also magical.

The wooden door slowly pushed open, and a dark room smelled of old wood, and as fluorescent balls of light flew in, the dark room was illuminated, a room that resembled a utility room, with many broken sofas and chairs, none of which were intact.

"Peter~Peter~Where are you~"

Harry, who sneered, hummed a creepy tune, a pitch-black shadow emerged from him, and the chaotic and evil aura exuded from Mo Ran's body filled the entire room in an instant, although the dark shadow that looked like a dementor did not have a despair aura, but the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a few degrees inexplicably at this moment.

In this moment of extreme depression, the silence was broken by the red light of the white tusks.

"Divided."

The already rotten couch seat was cut into small pieces by the force of the spell, and the collapsed garbage heap kicked up smoke, but a small whirlpool swallowed all the dust that flew up.

"Hurry up and come out~Let me play a game with you~"

"If you're hiding~Don't want to meet me~"

"When I catch you~ I'm going to pick your skin~ I pulled your tendons~ cut your flesh~ I'm feeding you~"

The increasingly eerie tone seemed to make Harry more and more perverted, and Dumbledore turned his head to look at Grindelwald when he saw this scene, but this guy actually had the same look on his face as Harry.

'How interesting. Grindelwald gave Dumbledore a look, "To play a game, you have to laugh." ’

Dumbledore, who no longer wanted to see the two chaotic teasers, covered his forehead, but in the next second, the dissonant humming suddenly raised a few gnashing teeth.

"I ~ caught it~"

"Little Mouse ~Peter~"

With a terrible creak like the sound of fingernails scraping against a chalkboard, and the little dark eyes of the fat rat lying in a pile of food and food scraps widened, Harry silently crouched in front of Peter, and stretched out his dark hand that suffocated his despair.
