a certain scientific harry potter

Harry was quite curious at the time, not knowing why the mice in the wizarding world could survive so well, but now it seems that it is simply because Scabbers is special.

Therefore, at the end of last semester, Scabbers and some other Hogwarts items suddenly disappeared, and then Rita Skeeter witnessed the meeting between Pettigrew and Lucius at the High Gate, and it was also because this guy cared about himself mother, so I ran back to check.

Very well, Harry was still melancholy, the remaining Polyjuice Potion was not enough for him to pretend to be Pettigrew and fight Aurors, but he never thought that this guy would jump out by himself!

"Catch him! No... I can't wait!" Sirius roared frantically, "12 years... This bastard finally appeared, I'm going to kill him now!!"

"Harry, that's why we must meet you." Lupine sighed helplessly, "If there is no explanation for this matter, Padfoot will go crazy right away... and it will probably be tortured I went crazy too."

Compared with the impulsive and irritable Sirius, Lupine's temper is obviously milder, and he also possesses restrained wisdom, knowing that he must not act rashly at this time.

And compared to his old friend, Lupine obviously believed in Harry, the younger generation's brain. He has been dragging Sirius these days, and he will discuss with Harry after seeing Harry.

"This matter really needs to be planned in detail. At least rushing directly to Weasley's house or doing it in Diagon Alley is absolutely not advisable!"

"Cough cough~"

Hearing Harry's words, Sirius coughed twice unnaturally, saying that he thought so before...

The impulsive Sirius never thought that Banban is a pet who has served the Weasley family for more than ten years, and has already become a member of the other family... If his side takes action against him without any scruples, it is very likely that he will be with him. The Weasleys clash.

You know, Arthur Weasley works for the Ministry of Magic. If this matter is a little careless, a big hat of "harming Ministry of Magic officials" will be deducted.

And Sirius will be sent back to Azkaban in minutes, and everyone around him will be implicated at the same time.

What's more, it's okay if the surprise attack is successful, but what if the arrest fails and Pettigrew escapes?

After careful consideration in his mind, Harry thought of the best place to catch Pettigrew.

But before detailing his plan, he first waved his hand and attached a layer of water curtains to the walls of the room, especially the gaps between doors and windows, which were all carefully covered.

Seeing Harry showing this trick, the well-informed Sirius and Lupine froze for a moment at the same time.

Casting the spell silently and without a wand, and it seemed that he was not using the ordinary 'clear water like a spring' spell, which made the two of them notice something special about Harry at the same time.

"This is a silent barrier, and I want to make sure that only the four of us can hear the next plan." Harry explained, his expression gradually becoming serious, "To catch Pettigrew without fail, we need to find someone who can't A place to clash with the grown-up Weasleys while preventing him from apparating and escaping."

"The place where two requirements are met at the same time, isn't that..." Hermione woke up suddenly, as if thinking of something.

"It's Hogwarts." Lupine directly gave an affirmative answer.

Yes, Pettigrew has always been inseparable from Ron, so to let him leave Arthur and Molly Weasley is to let Ron leave his parents.

And with the four people present alone, it is obviously impossible to cast an anti-apparition spell on the entire Diagon Alley like the French Aurors did, so they had to find a place where apparition was forbidden in the first place.

To sum up, the best place to capture is naturally only Hogwarts!

It just so happened that Harry raised many cats at Hogwarts, and now they can finally be used to catch Pettigrew's mouse together.

"Anyway, let's endure it for another two days. Once Pettigrew enters Hogwarts, he won't be able to fly without wings!"

After confirming the plan to capture Pettigrew, and most importantly appeasing the irritable Sirius, Harry bid farewell to the two.

However, when he and Hermione left Sirius' room, they inadvertently caught a glimpse of a decoration hanging on the wall of the bar corridor.

"It's actually a kitten pattern, this hanging plate is quite cute."

"It's not bad, but I haven't seen it before. It should be Boss Tom who hung it here recently." Hermione tilted her head and thought for a while, and felt that when she came to the Leaky Cauldron last time, there seemed to be nothing in the corridor. Woolen cloth.

"Let's go first, go back to pick up Will, and I have something to tell Colin." Harry didn't pay much attention to this, so he left with Hermione.

However, no one noticed that just after they left, the eyes of the cat that was supposed to be 'stationary' suddenly flickered in the listing.

...

After leaving the Leaky Cauldron, Harry and Hermione returned to Florin's Soda Shop and found the two juniors who were chatting.

"Harry, you are back." Colin still greeted enthusiastically, "I was just talking to Will about the fact that you will set up a detective agency next school year. It's a pity that I have been thinking about it for a vacation, and I don't know about the detective agency. What should it be called?"

"The name of the detective agency, I have already thought about it when I was traveling in France, and it will be announced at the opening ceremony." Harry smiled and looked at Colin, "It just so happens that I have a case in hand and I need your assistance Woolen cloth."

"Harry, tell me!" Colin puffed out his chest instinctively when he heard that Harry was going to assign a task.

"I need you to find a way to sit with Ron Weasley and try to get close to him on the car ride on the first day of school. Your goal is to make sure he brings his pet mouse, Scabbers, together. Participate in the opening ceremony."

"Why do you want him to bring the mouse?" Colin asked puzzled.

"This is an important clue related to the case, and you will know it on the day of the opening ceremony." Harry encouraged with a smile, "In short, try your best, and it is best not to let that mouse be sent to Glenn with your luggage." Fondo's lounge."

"Yeah, don't worry, I will definitely do it!" Colin shouted full of fighting spirit.

"Then I wish you success in advance~"

After arranging the stalking mission on the train, Harry said goodbye to Colin, and left with Hermione and Will.

In this way, the preliminary preparations on his side are basically completed.

After returning home, Harry sent another letter to the school, asking Dumbledore and Filch to prepare in advance, and Hogwarts would completely become a net.

The rest is only left for Pettigrew to drill in by himself!

Chapter 270 The new school year started in the rainstorm

September 1993, 9 was the opening day of the new school year at Hogwarts, and many people were looking forward to this day.

Hmm...By the way, this day is not Monday like last year, but Wednesday.

In the morning, the two of them took Will to King's Cross station early in the morning. Since Dobby was helping with housework at home, they crossed platform nine and three quarters very smoothly this time, not like last year. hit the wall.

For this crossing experience, Will obviously felt very novel, and when he saw the Hogwarts Express parked at the platform, the surprise in his eyes suddenly became more intense.

"The Hall-class steam locomotive has a history of more than 100 years, right?"

The train was originally invented by the British. Will, who loved reading since he was a child, has also dabbled a lot in it. The Hogwarts Express uses the steam locomotive of the Great Western Railway, an old British company. It is an antique of 150 years. .

"This car looks like a steam locomotive, but it is actually powered by magic. Little wizards from all over England and Ireland have to go to Hogwarts to go to school. It would be more convenient to have a unified means of transportation."

When getting on the train and taking a seat, Harry introduced the situation of the train to Will: "When you get off the train, there will be sales witches selling things like candy and snacks. The price is not expensive, and you can try it if you are interested. Try it, but I personally don’t recommend you to buy Bibi Multi-flavored Beans.”

"Why?" Will asked suspiciously, "Is it because the taste is bad?"

"It's because there are so many flavors, you never know what you'll eat next." Hermione, who was sitting by the window, replied casually, "The usual taste is fine, but if you accidentally eat boogers or something similar If you smell it, you will have a psychological shadow for the rest of your life."

"Uh... forget it then, I think the lunch prepared by Aunt Granger is very good." Will withdrew his gaze from looking into the corridor with lingering fear.

Heh heh, that's because you haven't eaten the hot pot cooked by Harry... The schoolgirl whose stomach shape has been completely melted thinks so in her heart~

The sound of the rails rattling kept coming, and as the train traveled all the way north, the scenery outside the window became more and more distant and vast.

And not long after the train departed, someone knocked on the door of the compartment where the three of Harry were in.

"You are here indeed. It looks like I'm looking in the right direction." After opening the door, the blond girl walked in calmly, as if she was sure that Harry should be in this box.

"Is this a new friend?" Luna naturally handed the luggage to Harry, and Luna turned to look at Will.

"It's a friend I met before school, Will." Harry helped introduce the two.

"Well, I hope he's a smart guy." Luna nodded casually, and sat down next to Harry.

"Well, nice to meet you...probably."

Will looked at the big pile of 'sandwiches' sitting across from him with a embarrassed expression, feeling a little blocked inexplicably.

If I had known this earlier, I should have volunteered to help Colin complete the task of 'watching the mouse' together, it was better than foolishly poking here to be a light bulb.

"I just met Creevey." Luna looked at Harry with wide eyes. "You sent him to find Weasley?"

"Well, there are more important things that need his help." Harry whispered his plan to Luna.

"It seems that he did a good job." Luna nodded and replied, "When I passed by, he was holding the mouse and feeding it the mouse strengthening potion."

"That's really great." Hearing what Luna said, Harry felt relieved.

The kid Colin was obviously very attentive to the task he assigned. After parting ways in Diagon Alley that day, he probably went to the pet store again and bought a lot of things for mice, which were specially used to get close to Ron. .

Compared with adults, children obviously would not arouse Pettigrew's suspicion too much. Now that Colin has been dragging Ron, the mouse should be able to be brought into the Hogwarts auditorium smoothly.

Boom!

Suddenly, a muffled thunder exploded outside the window. Hermione looked sideways and found that the front of the train was covered with dark clouds.

"It's going to rain heavily, Uncle Black and Uncle Lupine, they should be fine, right?" Looking at the lightning and thunderous weather outside the window, the schoolmaster girl couldn't help feeling a little worried.

In order to avoid Pettigrew's early detection, Sirius and Lupine did not take the Hogwarts Express, but chose other ways to rush to school. Hermione was very worried that they would encounter heavy rain on the way.

"If my godfather hadn't been handsome, they would never have been photographed by the rain." Harry curled his lips helplessly, "After all, they can easily come to the gate of Hogwarts with just one apparation , but well..."

But just as Harry guessed, it is absolutely impossible for a guy like Sirius not to be handsome, so he and Lupine were decisively drowned in the middle of the journey~

The camera returns to the train side. Except for the heavy rain, nothing unusual happened on this road, and the train did not stop halfway, and it has been driving very steadily.

"Will, the freshmen will take a boat across the Black Lake after getting off the bus, while we seniors need to take a carriage, so we have to separate temporarily."

Before getting out of the car, while Will was changing his robes, Harry seriously instructed: "This opening ceremony is quite special, but you don't have to worry, just remember one thing... no matter which college you are assigned to, Remember not to leave the academy long table!"

"I will." Will nodded solemnly.

For him, Harry is the elder brother who brought him into the magical world, so Will absolutely obeys Harry's words.

For the rest of the journey, they didn't say anything more. When the train finally stopped at the Hogsmeade platform, the three of Harry prepared their wands in advance, and Hermione hugged Crookshanks tightly at the same time.

"First graders come here!"

A familiar voice came from the opposite side of the train. Hagrid's burly figure could be seen at a glance among the students, and he also saw the three of Harry at the same time, waving excitedly at them.

"Hey you three, how are you doing?!"

Due to the need to lead the new students, Hagrid had no time to talk to the three of Harry, so he left in a hurry with the new students including Will.

But before he left, he sent the snowy owl that had been sitting on his arm to Harry's side from a distance.

"Goo~"

Hedwig, who had been separated from her master for a few days, uttered a pleasant long cry, fluttered her wings and jumped over the crowded crowd, and finally landed firmly on Harry's shoulder.

Now, all the master mouse catchers on Harry's side are here~

"Let's go."

After nodding goodbye to Will, Harry led the two girls onto the muddy path on the other side.

There, more than a hundred carriages were standing silently in the wind and rain, quietly waiting for their arrival.

Chapter 270 The Fourth Ban Ban Who Was 'Take Care of' Doesn't Dare to Move at All

Arriving at Hogwarts Castle in a carriage is the way for students above the second grade to return to school, but since Harry and Hermione flew in directly last year, they, like Luna, are trying it for the first time.

At this moment, looking at the dark and tall creatures in front of the carriage, Hermione and Luna fell into surprise at the same time.

They were a group of strange-looking flying horses. They had heads like fire dragons, and they were so skinny that they seemed to be covered only with skin and bones. There was also a pair of huge black bat wings growing on their backs, which looked weird and hideous.

In the curtain-like torrential rain, these ghostly creatures stood quietly in front of the car, as if they were completely integrated with the dark night.

But when Harry stood still in front of a certain carriage, the tall horse in charge of pulling the carriage suddenly lowered its head and rubbed Harry's cheek affectionately.

"Are these thestrals?" Hermione looked uncertainly at the creature in front of her. "I've only seen their drawings in Mr. Scamander's book before."

"It's thestrals." Luna said calmly, "Being able to see them means that your mind is as clear as mine."

"My mind has always been clear, and I don't need to be like you~" Hermione snapped back unceremoniously.

"Please, can you two get in the car quickly?" Harry looked helplessly at the two aunts who were bickering, "Besides, thestrals are creatures that only wizards who have witnessed death can see. It doesn't matter if your mind is clear or not..."

"Huh~"*2

Before the words were finished, the two women let out a pleasant cold snort at the same time, which immediately made Harry roll his eyes.

I am provoking someone~

"But this is the first time I know that Hogwarts actually has thestrals. It is said that this is a very difficult creature to tame."

After being helped into the carriage by Harry one by one, Hermione couldn't help being quite surprised when she saw that the Thestrals in front of her actually acted obediently.

"It's all thanks to Hagrid." Harry, who was sitting on the outermost side of the carriage, explained with a smile, "These Thestrals are usually kept in the Forbidden Forest, and they were carefully domesticated by Hagrid to serve Hogwarts. In addition, the horse that is pulling the cart for us is named Wuwu, it was the first newborn in the Forbidden Forest colony, and it was also Hagrid's favorite Thestral."

On the wet carriage, Harry introduced some information about the Thestrals colony in the Forbidden Forest to the two girls. Wu Wu, who was in charge of pulling the carriage, also walked briskly, leading the three of them towards the castle.

Due to the rain, the carriage was very bumpy along the way. The two girls sitting on the inside had to hold the seat carefully, and Harry on the outside also had to hold the two girls with the same care.

All in all, the car is pretty shaky...
