Chapter 42 Catching Rats

"Hey, have you heard about those two 'geniuses' from Gryffindor?"

"Of course, they actually threw big dung eggs into the common room of their own college. Four of them were thrown away! I heard that they even pretended to be Raven from our college to do this."

"Yes, if these two people hadn't been unlucky enough to buy low-quality Polyjuice Potion, we Hufflepuffs might have been in trouble by those Gryffindors."

At the Hufflepuff table, two senior students were discussing the tragedy that happened in the Gryffindor common room a week ago.

At this time, another little wizard intervened in the topic.

"What you are talking about is backward news that everyone knows. I have the latest news here.

My uncle's eldest son's girlfriend is in Gryffindor. He told me that those two people were still fighting to the death and they must bring Mr. Weasley from Hufflepuff to confront him. The matter even reached Bomer. Went to Dean Nina Sprout,

But then their first-year brother stood up and identified them. Their mother sent the shouting letter to their bedside, and the entire Gryffindor heard it. Now they had no excuse. "

"Yes, yes, I also heard that the two of them have to go to that guy Filch to receive confinement for the next whole year." This is the fourth little wizard to join the conversation.

Obviously it happened a week ago, but it has been talked about by the little wizards, and new details are constantly being added to it.

As for Mr. Weasley, the Hufflepuff who was almost wronged, he was holding a book in his left hand and a tea cup in his right hand. He was afraid that he would laugh.

After all, only the person who wronged you knows how wronged you are. If George Fred dares to pretend to be Raven, then he must be prepared to be counterattacked by Raven.

Thinking of this, Raven quickly swallowed her tea, fearing that she would accidentally laugh and choke herself again. She had choked many times this week.

Pappy also thoughtfully suggested that he should go see Madam Pomfrey.

What if Madam Pomfrey asks him why he is laughing? She can't say that she thought of something happy, right? He has no wife and no children.

Nice! Little Ronnie, Raven was originally prepared for a confrontation, and he even prepared an alibi. As a result, Ron's cooperation just added insult to injury, added fuel to the fire, fanned the flames, and rode the waves.

So Raven decided to take the time to strengthen and upgrade Ron's Christmas gift to ensure that he would have a satisfactory New Year.

This week, Raven used his class-selecting privileges, and he didn't miss a single lesson in the first-year Transfiguration course.

And every time the Transfiguration get out of class ends, the repertoire, "Waste of Professor McGonagall's Life", is performed on time,

If Professor McGonagall wasn't a competent professor, and every time Raven asked a question, he really had something to say, Raven would have improved the transformation spell a little bit after asking the question.

Otherwise, Professor McGonagall would have given up her choice long ago.

But Raven also encountered some situations that almost scared Peter Pettigrew.

Because Professor McGonagall began to suspect that there was something wrong with the mouse,

The reason why it is forbidden to cast transformation spells on magical animals is because magic exists in magical animals.

The magic power of the living body itself will interfere with the transformation spell.

If an elite wizard like Barty Crouch Jr. casts a spell on a magical creature, such as Malfoy, there would be no problem.

But it is very difficult for a young wizard to transform into a magical creature, and that is content for advanced grades.

In fact, Professor McGonagall thought of Percy;

Because she still remembered that Percy also encountered problems in Transfiguration class that year,

He had a hard time transfiguring the mouse, but then Percy finished his second-year Transfiguration exam with an O, and everyone forgot about it until now.

Professor McGonagall doubted whether this mouse might have the blood of magical animals, which is quite common in the wizarding world. She wanted to check Scabbers.

However, in order to maintain the character, Raven borrowed Papi's red iguana. This time, it was not even a rat, and it still did not achieve complete transformation.

This allowed Professor McGonagall to dispel her doubts, and also allowed Peter Pettigrew, who had been preparing to make an outburst, to regain his composure.

The time came to the third week smoothly, Professor McGonagall announced that get out of class was over, and then Raven, who was waiting for him to follow, walked into his office carrying the cage.

To her surprise, an old wizard was already sitting on the sofa. He was eating the newly developed tofu dafu in the kitchen. It was the principal Dumbledore.

"Oh, sorry Minerva, I was too lazy to walk, so I asked Fawkes to bring me in. I hope I didn't scare you.

Regarding the two Gryffindor twins, I have something to talk to you about.

Oh, Raven, you're here too. This incident happens to be related to you, so why don't you stay too? "

Professor McGonagall was not intimidated, but showed a sincere smile.

"Professor Dumbledore, you came just in time.

This Mr. Weasley has encountered some difficulties with Transfiguration, and I am not in a position to help him.

In this magical world, no one can surpass you in the art of transfiguration. Come and help Mr. Weasley have a look. Mr. Weasley, please show me. "

Raven immediately took out Scabbers from the cage and could feel that the mouse was a little stiff.

Peter Pettigrew was very scared. He was afraid that he would be discovered.

Both of them are top-notch wizards in the art of transformation. Any wizard who can name them would not dare to say that they can defeat Professor McGonagall in the art of transformation.

Not to mention there was Dumbledore next to him.

If you suddenly launch a surprise attack, you can't say whether you can kill one or two. Anyway, you are dead.

If he is discovered, he has a way of explaining himself, and presumably they will not use cruel methods against a Merlin Medal winner who faked his death.

Of course, it was best to remain undetected, so Peter Pettigrew chose to continue pretending to be a mouse.

"[Feila Weidu]"

Raven took out the Prismatic Wand, waved it and recited the spell honestly.

It was completely different from the freehand and unrestrained expression that transformed the teapot with just one look that morning. Dumbledore admired this acting skill very much.

On the contrary, it was the Animagus whose acting skills were too poor. Not to mention myself, it seemed that Minerva had also noticed him. She was winking at her from the blind spot of the mouse.

Peter Pettigrew took the initiative to suppress his magic power in an attempt to allow Raven to successfully cast the spell.

But was Raven's transformation spell to turn it into a cup?

Of course not. Raven's transformation spell always intentionally transformed him into a semi-transformed state.

However, because Raven was too skilled and natural, Peter Pettigrew, as the recipient of the transformation spell, was unable to detect the abnormality.
