True enlightenment against heaven: Starting from the proud smile

Harry panted and looked up.

Hermione hesitated for a while, and seeing Harry's increasingly extreme emotions, she decided to speak out, but before that, she needed an extra insurance.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, is Scabbers not around?"

[No! ]

Hearing this, Hermione spoke with confidence: "There is one thing I think I need to tell you. Do you remember Crookshanks' bloodline?"

"Kneazle, you said it!" Ron replied.

"Then you should know that catkins have a magical ability, which is to distinguish between good and evil. Crookshanks has always been hostile to Ron's Scabbers. I never understood why, until Snape mentioned a kind of transformation magic, Animagus, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"

"What do you mean, you want to say that Scabbers is an Animagus?!" Ron shook his head directly, "That's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Listen to me!" Hermione looked at him, "I was shocked to learn that Scabbers has lived for 12 years. You know, the lifespan of an average mouse is... The life span is only about 3 years, but as Ron said, maybe Scabbers is special. In fact, I still can't be sure, but there are some doubts that I think need to be said. Harry, do you remember Minister Fudge's description of Peter Pettigrew? "

Harry, who was furious, gradually regained his composure at this moment. He said, "He was a hero who fought against Voldemort and a mutual friend of Sirius Black and my father. In the end, he was blown up and only one finger was left."

"Yes, he was blown up and only one finger was left!" Hermione looked at the red-haired boy next to her, "Ron, did Scabbers lose a toe from the beginning?"

This question directly made the two boys feel like their scalps were electrified.

Harry was sitting on a big rock, but now he stood up. "Ron, when did Scabbers' toe break?"

"I, I, I don't remember!" Ron's expression was a little out of control at this moment, "But this is impossible. Scabbers is just a mouse. It can't be an Animagus. It's impossible!"

However, Hermione's words have not yet finished, "In fact, there is another coincidence."

Seeing that the two looked at each other at the same time, Hermione said, "That's when Scabbers disappeared!"

"You mean after the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Harry asked.

"No, to be precise, it was after Sirius Black broke into the Gryffindor common room!" Hermione corrected.

"You mean, maybe Sirius Black took Scabbers away?" Ron asked.

"Not sure, but we can make an assumption. Assuming that the two are the same person, then why did Peter Pettigrew, who was a hero at the time, hide for 12 years? You know, Voldemort had fallen by then, and Sirius had been imprisoned."

Neither of them could answer this question. If the assumption is true, then there is indeed something fishy here.

Ron shook his head, still unwilling to believe, "This is just your guess!"

"That's right, but what I want to say is that there is no need to draw conclusions so early, Harry, your Marauder's Map is a good detection method. In addition to monitoring Sirius, if Scabbers comes back, we can also use it to determine its identity! Of course, the premise is that we can't reveal any flaws."

Seeing this, Harry and Ron nodded doubtfully.

From this day on, Harry's daily spell practice time doubled, and he checked the Marauder's Map almost every day.

Time flies, the Christmas holiday passed quietly, and it came to the next semester.

It is worth mentioning that this year's Christmas gift, Lu Yuan only gave Hermione a flying spell.

This made the little witch talk for a long time.

And Lu Yuan's excuse is still the same, knowledge and alchemical items have been given enough, too much is as bad as too little, it is easy to make people useless.

After the new semester started, Harry found Professor McGonagall and expressed his desire to learn the Patronus Charm.

There is a big deviation from the original book. In the original book, Harry's student is Lupin, but in this time and space, Harry, who knows the other party's werewolf identity, does not choose to get close to him.

Moreover, at the end of last semester, Dumbledore used the Dementors attacking the school to expel all the Dementors around.

However, in order to make up for his shortcomings, Harry still wants to learn this spell.

McGonagall will naturally not refuse such a request, and her teaching is even more profound than Lupin.

This makes Harry's life quite fulfilling every day. Ron is the only one left in the trio, thinking about something every day.

It was another quiet night. Ron was lying on the bed and twitching constantly. He dreamed that Hermione and Harry were attracted to each other because they worked hard. In the dream, the two hugged and looked at him, saying in unison: "Ron, you can't keep up with our pace, you have been eliminated!"

In one sentence, Ron woke up directly and almost cried.

When he woke up, he found that Harry was still faintly lit with a white light, and he was sitting on the bed looking at the Marauder's Map. When he saw Ron coming, he raised the biscuit in his hand and said, "Want some?"

Ron exhaled lightly, shook his head and sat up on the bed, watching Harry work hard, and thinking about the dream just now, he thought silently for a long time, as if he had made some kind of decision, and was about to speak.

Harry suddenly sat up straight, with a look of surprise.

Ron realized that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I saw a name!"

"Who?"

"Peter Pettigrew!"

The two looked up at each other, both saw shock in each other's eyes, and then turned over and got out of bed at the same time.

"Invisibility cloak, Harry!"

"I know!"

"Should we notify Hermione?"

"How? Should we go to the girls' dormitory and knock on her door?!"

"Forget it, let's go and see first."

Putting on the invisibility cloak, they followed Peter Pettigrew's position on the map.

Soon the two sides came to the same floor, which was considered to be the two sides of a right-angle corridor.

Just as the two sides were getting closer and about to meet at the corner, Harry grabbed Ron, who was also nervous, and waited quietly for the person in front of him to appear. However, after a few seconds, nothing happened. He and Ron looked down at the map again and found that Peter Pettigrew had actually passed them by.

"Damn, did you pay attention to the ground just now?"

"No."

Harry was speechless and missed Hermione very much at this moment.

"Let's catch up. Wait, damn, Snape is here! And Lupin! Hush!"

Harry and Ron had to stand against the wall. Sure enough, a few seconds later, Snape appeared with his wand flashing silver light, and his eyes swept around sharply.

The next moment, he suddenly turned around and saw Lupin also appear with his wand flashing.

"Ha! Not sleeping in the middle of the night, are you reminiscing about your habit of going out at night?" Snape said venomously.

"You are the same, Severus."

"Don't call me that, Remus!" Snape took a few steps forward, "You should examine your own danger. If you really want to do it for the good of that child, you shouldn't have agreed to let Dumbledore come here!"

"I am very restrained..."

"Who can prove it?! You had such a good relationship with James Potter and Sirius Black, who can prove that you didn't help him this time?"

"That was only in the past. After that incident, it is no longer the case."

Snape shook his head slowly, his voice low and threatening, "Remus, you can't trust your words, remember! I will always keep an eye on you!"

After saying this, Snape didn't want to communicate any more, turned around and left, Lupin looked around and followed.

Until the corridor was completely dark, Ron raised his hand and put it on Harry's shoulder, while the other party still leaned against the wall, unable to calm down.
