Chapter 177

Harry’s eyes turned cold and his face looked a little ugly. He actually ran away from here directly. It was his negligence that he did not take any restrictive measures on Scabbers before leaving.

Ron looked for a long time but couldn’t find it. He turned his attention to Crookshanks.

“Did you secretly eat my Scabbers?”There was only one cat like this in the whole Gryffindor, so he definitely had reason to doubt.

Crookshanks looked at Ron as if he was a fool, and meowed disdainfully.

Was this cat just here, and you said I ate it.

Ron actually miraculously understood its eyes, and his face flushed.

“”Damn cat, what’s with that look in your eyes?”

Crookshanks jumped out of Harry’s arms, walked in front of Ron with light cat steps, and meowed, as if scolding him fiercely.

Ron was furious and tried to grab it with both hands.

Unfortunately, Crookshanks easily dodged it, then showed his sharp claws and attacked Ron.

The man and the cat wrestled, and Ron was in a panic without the use of a wand, and couldn’t catch Crookshanks at all, and fell into a disadvantage for a time.

“”That’s enough.” Harry stopped the fight between the man and the cat.

With a wave of his hand, the man and the cat slowly separated.

Ron and Crookshanks were still glaring at each other.

Seeing the shallow marks on Ron’s body from Crookshanks’ grasp, Harry used healing on him, and in an instant, Ron’s injuries recovered as they had been at the beginning of 307.

“”Crookshanks, come back.” Harry shouted at it.

Crookshanks raised his head, twisted his butt, and walked back to Harry in a cat-like manner.

“Ron, you seem to have just lost to a cat. Harry looked at him with a complicated expression. He was ranked third in the grade 307, but it seemed that he had to give way to a cat.

“I’m not serious!” Ron stood up like a dog whose tail was stepped on. He argued incoherently,”It’s just a cat. I didn’t even use a wand. Harry, seriously, I told you, my spell skills improved a lot after I changed my wand.”

Harry was silent. Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing to use a wand to deal with a cat?

Crookshanks’ flat face was grinning widely, and everyone knew that it was silently mocking.

It really deserved a beating.

When Ron saw this, he wanted to take out his wand directly. Today he would teach this damn cat a lesson and let him know what the strength of being the third in the grade was!

The phantom Lupin looked at Ron with nostalgia in his eyes, as if he saw the shadows of Black and James at that time, who were equally mindless and impulsive. When he saw Harry before, apart from his decisive behavior, he could hardly find any shadow of Gryffindor, which made him wonder if the current Gryffindor had changed its former school spirit.

But the appearance of this red-haired little freckled face made him once again confirm that Gryffindor is still the same Gryffindor.

The reputation remains unchanged!

“”Okay, no need to use your wand.” Harry stopped him.

Ron snorted and reached out from his robes.

“After all, he is a cat-kneazle hybrid, although he is not a dangerous creature of XXX level.”Harry comforted him,”But you are only a third grader after all, it’s okay if you can’t beat him.”

Ron was stunned, and the grievance surged in his heart.

“I really can……”

“It’s okay, you can still improve and try to win it before the end of this semester.”

The last sentence petrified Ron instantly. The autumn wind blew with the fallen leaves, and his body shattered all over the ground.

“”Let’s duel, stinky cat.” Ron took out his wand and challenged Crookshanks to a duel.

He had to prove to Harry whether the third-best student in the grade could beat a ginger stinky cat.

“Later, I have something for it to do.” Harry stopped their confrontation.

He squatted down and patted Crookshanks’ head:”I’ll give you a task, catch Scabbers and bring him to me, or if you find any trace of him, come back and report to me immediately.”

Crookshanks stood up and rubbed his head against Harry’s hand.

“If you do this, I will reward you by letting you eat the same food as Salyl in the future.”

Crookshanks meowed. Although he didn’t know who Salyl was or what she ate, he seemed to be rewarded. He nodded, quickly jumped out, and disappeared in the crowd.

After hearing this, Ron felt a little envious. This stinky cat could eat the food made by Harry.

But when he thought of what Harry had just said, his heart skipped a beat. He was reckless, but not stupid. There was no stupid person in the Weasley family.

Why was Harry so nervous about Scabbers? He had a bad guess in his heart.

He looked at the place where Crookshanks had been squatting just now, blinked, and slowly raised his head to look at Harry.

“”Scabbers, is there something wrong?” He lowered his voice and looked at Harry nervously.

He was no longer the ignorant little wizard who knew nothing.

After experiencing the Tom incident in the second grade, he understood a little about the horror of some dark magic.

A notebook can become a dark magic item, so a mouse seems to be possible?

Last semester it was Ginny, is it his turn this semester?

Harry turned his head to look at him and sighed softly:”There are some things I have to tell you. Let’s go out and talk. It’s not curfew yet.”

Ron’s expression was a little ugly, and he was nervous, so he clenched his fists and nodded.

As soon as they walked out of the common room, they ran into Hermione who had just come back.

“”Harry, you’re back? Is Professor Lupin okay?” Hermione asked quickly with a surprised look on her face when she saw Harry.

“Professor Lupin is safe, you don’t have to worry about him.”Harry responded,”But there might be something wrong with Scabbers.”

Hermione was shocked when she heard that, and subconsciously looked at Ron.

Ron looked a little nervous, and his hands were even shaking a little uncomfortably.

He was stunned when he saw Hermione’s expression. Even Hermione knew?

“”Hermione, why don’t you come too? Let’s talk about this outside?” Harry looked at her and invited her.

Hermione nodded without hesitation and followed Harry. The three of them walked to a tower stand not far away.

From here, you can clearly see the environment of Hogwarts and the looming black shadow in the distance.

Harry leaned on the stone railing and said softly,”Show yourself.”

Hermione and Ron were stunned, and then they saw a figure slowly appear beside them.

Hermione subconsciously took two steps towards Harry, taking out her wand as she walked, but when she saw who was coming, she put down the wand that had not yet been raised. She couldn’t help but look a little embarrassed:”Professor Lupin? What a coincidence, you are here too.”

“”Harry asked me to come with you,” Lupin replied with a smile. His smile made him look even softer.

Hermione glanced at Harry and put his wand away when he nodded.

“What happened to Scabbers? Has it become a dark magic item?”Seeing Lupin also appear, the appearance of this Defense Against the Dark Arts professor made Ron feel even more uneasy. Could it be what he thought? He looked at Harry nervously, wanting to get an answer from him.

“Scabbers, it might be an Animagus.” Harry looked Ron in the eyes and said in a gentle tone.

“”What? Ah, Animagus?” Ron looked like he couldn’t accept it. He shook his body and took two steps back involuntarily.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible, it has lived in our house for thirteen years.” He shook his head vigorously, as if he couldn’t believe this conclusion.

Although it was not some dark magic item, the news was not good.

Hermione also whispered:”But an ordinary mouse will never live as long as thirteen years.”

“And now, it is very likely that it is still my father’s friend.” Harry looked at Ron and continued.

Ron’s face suddenly changed, and his expression became horrified:”Sirius Black?”
