"Mr. Bones, what is Professor Dumbledore's plan?" When Soul carried Crookshanks to the Gryffindor Tower, Professor McGonagall was already waiting there, her brows furrowed tightly. of.
"You said Peter Pettigrew is in the Gryffindor common room. How is that possible? He was clearly blown to pieces by Sirius back then."
"I asked you to come here to avoid accidents, Professor. Although it may be hard for you to believe what I say, the truth back then may be completely opposite to what you know."
Suhr replied respectfully, "I think no matter how I explain it to you, it will be more real than having you understand the situation on the spot later."
"My main concern is that if an accident happens, Peter Pettigrew will do the same thing he did before to escape, such as causing an explosion."
"So, please go into Harry's dormitory with Crookshanks later and take the mouse out together."
While Sur was talking, figures one large and one small appeared at the end of the corridor.
"Professor McGonagall." Remus Lupine greeted McGonagall, and then he looked at Soul, "What should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything, Professor, let the cat do the catching of mice." Sol smiled and lifted Crookshanks in his arms.
"You just have to work with Professor McGonagall to make sure it doesn't get discovered by anyone else."
"It?" Professor Lupine glanced at the cat in Sur's arms hesitantly, "Can it be done?"
As if sensing Lupin's suspicion, Crookshanks meowed softly, and his claws popped out of his pads one by one.
"Crookshanks knows Scabbers, he can catch Scabbers." Hermione said on the side. When they were in the Room of Requirement, Soul had already explained to her the fact that Scabbers was actually an Animagus.
"Without further ado." Suer put the big cat in his arms on the ground, "Professor McGonagall, please excuse me."
Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, pulled out her wand and clicked lightly, and then her figure quickly disappeared.
At this time, before the curfew, the young wizards were still busy. As a professor and dean, suddenly appearing in the common room would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Professor Lupine followed suit.
After the two professors were made invisible by the Disembodiment Curse, Soul nodded to Hermione. Hermione took a deep breath and led Crookshanks and the two professors through the portrait smoothly.
The Fat Lady hasn't come back yet, and now the man on duty in the Gryffindor lounge is a knight riding a pony. Soul recognized him. He was a very talkative soldier.
As a Hufflepuff student, Soul was actually not allowed to visit other houses, so he chatted at the door with Sir Cadogan, the new man on duty at the door of the Gryffindor lounge.
However, most of it was Cadogan bragging about his heroic achievements. In fact, it was written in a school history that Cadogan was actually an unlucky guy who died under an arrow.
Not long after, Cadogan closed his mouth and moved away. Hermione walked out with a calm face, holding Crookshanks in her arms. When she saw Soul at the door, she nodded her chin gently.
It seems to be going very smoothly.
Su Er nodded calmly, turned around and walked towards the corridor in tacit agreement.
When walking into a deserted corridor, Hermione took out a fat, sleepy mouse from her pocket with a look of disgust on her face. Soul took it forward and stuffed it into his pocket.
At the same time, Professor Lupine and Professor McGonagall also appeared behind them.
"This mouse, if I remember correctly, is Mr. Weasley's pet, right?" Professor McGonagall asked directly.
Professor Lu Ping, who had always been sullen, also spoke up at this time. He was still a little skeptical at first, but when he saw Ban Ban, he no longer had any doubts. After seven years in school, he was very familiar with his former good brother. .
"Peter Pettigrew's Animagus was indeed a mouse."
"And...I just looked at it and it was missing a thumb."
As he said that, Lupine glanced at Soul and said, "If the Marauder's Map had not been tampered with by later generations, everything we know may indeed be of great significance."
"Wait, Peter Pettigrew is an Animagus?" Professor McGonagall said again, "Why don't I know that at all?"
"I think it would be better for Pettigrew himself to explain this issue later." Sule replied softly, "Professor Dumbledore should already be waiting for us in the office."
A moment later, at the door of the principal's office on the eighth floor, the slate-gray gargoyle stone beast statue glanced at Suer and his party, and stepped aside silently.
"Sirius?" Professor Lupine couldn't help but lost his voice when he saw the figure talking to Principal Dumbledore in the office.
Blake turned back to look at everyone, his eyes flashing, "It's me, are you okay? Remus."
"Is what Suer said true? Back then...you really didn't..." Professor Lu Ping's usually calm face rarely showed an excited expression.
Although it is certain that what Su Er said is actually the truth, but
"Remus." Dumbledore said at this time, "I think it would be clearer for the person involved to tell what happened back then."
"I'm also curious about what happened back then." As he said that, Dumbledore looked at Soul. Soul understood what it meant. He took out the mouse that Hermione had just given him from his pocket and placed it on the ground. He silently stepped back. He stood a few steps away from Hermione.
Blake's eyes burst into anger the moment he saw it, and he couldn't help but step forward.
"Calm down, Sirius," Dumbledore said. "I think we should hear Mr. Peter's story now, don't we?"
Peter Pettigrew was lying on the carpet with his eyes closed tightly. Until then, he had not been able to wake up.
"When we were in Harry's dormitory just now, Professor Lupine secretly gave it a stun spell." Hermione quietly explained to Soul.
No wonder, there was no movement at all when the cat caught the mouse. It turned out to be the professor's credit.
"Resume quickly." At this time, Professor Lupine pulled out his wand and tapped the mouse on the carpet.
The moment the spell hit, the mouse's body moved slightly, but suddenly became quiet again, as if it was a dead mouse.
But from Sur's perspective, he clearly saw Pettigrew's eyes moving just now, and his eyelids raised slightly for a moment.
Professor Lupine's spell was absolutely fine in Soul's opinion. It was a standard resuscitation spell, but Peter Pettigrew did not react accordingly.
There is only one possibility - it is pretending to be faint.
"You said Peter Pettigrew is in the Gryffindor common room. How is that possible? He was clearly blown to pieces by Sirius back then."
"I asked you to come here to avoid accidents, Professor. Although it may be hard for you to believe what I say, the truth back then may be completely opposite to what you know."
