The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 225 Hand in the Mouse
"How is that possible?" "Impossible!" said Percy and Hermione at the same time.

"Didn't it say that Peter Pedillo had been killed by Sirius Black?" Hermione said.

"That's why he needs to turn into a mouse to hide himself, because theoretically he is dead. And after Sirius broke into the school, I specifically checked the old newspapers about this matter, and the old newspapers reported that Sirius was the future It was sent directly to prison after trial, which means that what happened at that time cannot be 100% confirmed."

"It's just..." Hermione looked a little annoyed. "Even the most vicious criminals must be tried before being executed. How can the wizarding world do this?"

"There's another reason for that," Percy said awkwardly. "Because the mysterious man had just been defeated at that time, everyone's emotions needed to be released. Sometimes the procedures may not be so strict. Not to mention my father said that after Sirius was arrested, he did not ask for an interrogation at all, so at the time Send him straight to jail."

"I really don't know what to say." Hermione muttered and sat there with her hands folded against the sofa.

Percy turned to Ryan at this time: "Basketball can't be sure that it is Peter based on these two points alone, do you have any other evidence?"

"Of course, Scabbers is missing a toe. And the biggest piece of Peter's remains found after Peter's death was his finger."

Percy seemed a little convinced by Ryan, and Ryan saw the situation and said while the iron was hot: "Besides, did you find that the time when Scabbers started to become anxious happened to be the time when Sirius escaped from prison."

"It seems to be true." Percy said after recalling a moment. "Then what should we do now? Shall we report to the professor immediately?" It seemed that Percy was a little confused by the situation.

"Personally, I suggest that you send your father an owl to ask him to come to the school. After all, your father is a staff member of the Ministry of Magic. I think it may be harmful to your father if it is confirmed Unfavorable, you better discuss it."

"Yes, you're right." Percy immediately reacted and held Ryan's hand tightly. "It's really wrong for me to ignore this. I'm going to write a letter to my father now."

After Percy walked away, Hermione asked a little strangely: "Since it has been confirmed that there is something wrong with that mouse, why don't we just send this suspicious mouse to the professor? We must let Percy join in." ?”

"On the one hand, the Weasley family are good people. If we send that mouse, it will easily cause some troubles to their family. Just like I said just now, keeping a suspicious person is not a good thing. On the other hand, I guess Back then, this case was handled by many people, and the Weasley family was one of the 28 pure-blood families. They should be able to settle the people involved, but it would be hard to say if it was us."

"What you said makes sense." Hermione nodded slightly. "Not to mention that we can give Percy a favor like this. After all, our dream needs the support of enough people, and it is naturally the best for a top student like Percy who is destined to enter the Ministry of Magic to help us."

Speaking of which, Hermione glanced at Ryan: "Do you think my thoughts are a little utilitarian?"

"No, you just grew up." Ryan shook his head and said.

"Oh, that old fatherly tone again." Hermione patted Ryan on the back jokingly.

After joking for a while, the two of them entered the learning mode again. For the rest of the day, Ryan was still the same as usual. The only difference was that he added three peace charms to the cage before going to bed to prevent Peter from escaping at night.

When Ryan got up early the next morning and packed up and was about to have breakfast, he saw Percy walking over and whispering to him, "Ryan, everyone is already waiting in the principal's office."

Ryan nodded his head and went upstairs to get the cage. At this time, he didn't have to hide it anymore.While Peter was still sleeping under the influence of the tranquilizing spell, he directly poked the wand into the cage and released the stun spell against Peter.

After packing up his things on the cage, Ryan went downstairs to the principal's office with Percy.On the way, Ryan said to Percy: "By the way, after you go in for a while, you will say that these suspicious points are mainly discovered by you, and try to mention me as little as possible."

"Why, you obviously discovered this." Percy said a little puzzled.

"On the one hand, I have a very good relationship with your two twin brothers. I can feel that your family is a good person. I don't want your father to be implicated because of this. I think your father doesn't need to bear too much if you make a contribution. Responsibility." After speaking, Ryan smiled at Percy, seeing Percy's uneasy look, Ryan comforted him.

"Also, if Banban is really Peter, a lot of officials from the Ministry of Magic who were involved in the Sirius trial may be involved. You must know that I am a bitch wizard, but I can't afford to offend so many people at once."

Percy stopped at this time and looked at Ryan and said very seriously: "Thank you! You will be my best friend from now on."

After that, the two of them walked silently through the corridor without portraits to the door of the principal's office.

"Heap of cockroaches." After reading the password, the stone stairs slowly turned upwards.Ryan came to Professor Dumbledore's office again.

It's just that this time is different from the last time I brought my laptop. There are many people in the office.Besides Professor Dumbledore and the Weasleys, there were Professor Lupine, Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, and a broad, square-jawed figure he didn't recognize sitting in the office.A middle-aged witch with short gray hair and a monocle.

"My father said he would invite an official from the Ministry of Magic as a witness. I didn't expect him to invite the Director of the Department of Law Enforcement." Percy introduced in a low voice.

Amelie Bornes, Ryan finally knew who this unknown person was after listening to Percy's introduction.It is reasonable to invite this person, after all, Amelia Bornes' elder brother Edgar Burns was one of the founders of the Order of the Phoenix, and his whole family was killed by Voldemort.With such a relationship, if it is said to deal with the case related to Voldemort, it would not be too difficult to move her.

"Okay, two boys, can you tell me why you think this mouse is the dead Peter Pedilu?" Dumbledore said very seriously while sitting behind the table.

"When Ron handed the mouse over to me and asked me to treat the mouse, I was curious and asked how old was the mouse? But Ron couldn't tell, he just said it was from Percy. Come on. Then yesterday when I had the opportunity to ask Percy, he told me that this mouse had been in his house for 12 years. I said that this kind of mouse theoretically only has a lifespan of about three years, and Percy was a little surprised at that time. I don't know much about the following things until he told me to come here with a cage this morning." Ryan first said the agreed lines.

Afterwards, Percy said all the questions raised yesterday.After listening to Percy's words, Headmaster Dumbledore signaled Professor Lupine and Professor McGonagall to check Scabbers in the cage.
