Chapter 43 Rat Cry

As the magic power poured into the mouse's body.

Scabbers' body slowly but surely transformed into the goblet, and Peter Pettigrew began to pray to Merlin.

"It must be successful this time!"

A goblet appeared on the table, crystal clear, standard shape, standard height. If it didn't have the tail, it would have been a successful spell.

Peter Pettigrew cursed secretly in his heart, but he did not dare to stir up his thoughts too much.

After all, he was once a member of the Order of the Phoenix. Their principal did not hesitate to display some "non-white magic" methods in the Order of the Phoenix.

Especially Peter knew that this old man was very good at Legilimency, and if his emotions fluctuated too much, he would let this old man activate this magic.

At the same time, Dumbledore was lost in memories. Was this Animagus a member of the Order of the Phoenix? And he also mastered the skills to fight Legilimency.

This resulted in Dumbledore being unable to obtain more keywords. Unless he was a natural Legilimency, it would be difficult for Legilimency without a wand or curse to tap into those thoughts that deliberately resisted.

Raven handed the goblet to Dumbledore. At this time, Peter Pettigrew deliberately suppressed his thoughts. The remaining rat tail on the cup drooped feebly, as if dead.

Under Raven's magical perception, Professor McGonagall and Principal Dumbledore quietly put on [armor protection].

The cup was handed over to Dumbledore, and Professor McGonagall took a step forward, protecting Raven by her side.

It's now!

The wand suddenly appeared from Professor McGonagall's hand,

[Quick Confinement] The magic power was transformed into a curse and hit Dumbledore.

Peter Pettigrew had sensed something was wrong, and immediately broke away from the transformation spell, trying to escape in the form of a mouse.

The magic power surged, trying to force away the spell cast on him.

The first time he stirred, he didn't break free. The second time, he didn't break free. The third time, there was a slight sign of loosening.

But it was too late, he was unable to lift the transformation spell cast by Raven in a short period of time!

At this moment, Professor McGonagall's [Quick Confinement] was about to hit him.

Peter gave up using magic, and instead concentrated all his strength on his tail. With a strong push, the cup fell from Dumbledore's hand.

Will the cup break? of course!

What would happen if Transfiguration's receptors didn't shatter?

It will cause logical contradictions and thus break the magic!

He will reappear as an Animagus,

Even if Dumbledore was unprepared and fell into Professor McGonagall's [Quick Confinement], he would not be able to break free in a short time. This was the perfect opportunity for him, Peter Pettigrew, to escape.

It is difficult to generalize about human talent. Peter Pettigrew will become extremely clear-headed when encountering a crisis. This is why he can survive until now.

He just knew Sirius, his former good brother, so well. Under his calculations, the only wizard besides him who knew the secret of changing the Secret Keeper chose to go into self-exile.

Everything is going according to Peter Pettigrew's script, but now the play seems to be taking a little long.

Professor McGonagall's [Quick Confinement] was offset by Dumbledore's [Armor Protection], and the cup that was about to fall to the ground was bound by a stone chain.

More chains rose from the ground, raising the semi-deformed goblet.

Seeing that this dangerous Animagus was under control, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall also breathed a sigh of relief.

Professor McGonagall gave Raven a meaningful look.

They all saw the Animagus trying to break free from the transformation spell just now. They didn't expect that a young wizard's immature transformation spell could control an elite wizard for so long.

"Minerva, I'll leave it to you to disarm this Animagus and see what his purpose is in sneaking into Hogwarts."

Dumbledore said to McGonagall.

After all, he is not an Animagus. Although he is a master in the world of transformation, he has never been able to understand the principle behind the magic of Animagus.

I hope that if we catch this guy this time, we can find clues in him that will lift the fog surrounding this magic.

Before Professor McGonagall could take action, a change occurred in the bound Animagus.

After dozens of magic attacks, Peter Pettigrew finally broke through the incomplete transformation spell and returned to the state of a mouse.

Then he took the initiative to release the Animagus and his body expanded.

The Transfiguration Chains cast by Dumbledore did not break as Peter Pettigrew transformed into a human form, but changed as his body shape changed, still tightly binding the wizard.

Peter Pettigrew didn't dare to think too much and suppressed his thoughts because he was not sure whether Dumbledore's Legilimency had been turned off.

He looked at Professor Dumbledore with his small eyes, then at Professor McGonagall, and then sat on the ground and cried loudly after clearing his mind.

This is his strategy. Dumbledore will not use Legilimency to pry into the memories of his colleagues. His lie can only work if Dumbledore turns off Legilimency first.

Raven looked at this wretched man and felt disgusted.

Although Peter had been carefully separated and compared in both human and mouse forms, seeing Peter Pettigrew in a self-aware state for the first time was really eye-catching.

A short, fat, middle-aged man wearing a tight old suit. He has small eyes and a small mouth. The most prominent thing on his face is his buck teeth. The most prominent thing on his body is his bald head. Such a person sits on the ground and cries like a child. Get up, Raven didn't look.

On the contrary, Professor McGonagall had already put down her wand when she saw that this Animagus was her former student, Peter Pettigrew.

As far as she could remember, Peter had always been a very good student. Although he had always been with a few outstanding Gryffindor partners, he had never been the one in the team who took the initiative to stir up trouble, and his grades were also poor. Keep up with your peers.

In addition, his transformation skills are indeed very good, so among their group that calls themselves the [Predators], Professor McGonagall's second favorite is Peter.

Unfortunately, Peter died in a duel with the traitor Sirius Black. For this, the Ministry of Magic awarded him a Merlin Order, First Class.

Now that he sees this outstanding student appearing here after eleven years, Professor McGonagall is of course extremely happy.

She stepped forward, lifted up Peter Pettigrew who was lying on the ground crying, helped him sit down on the sofa, and comforted the middle-aged student.

Dumbledore's expression was still so indifferent, as if nothing happened, he just released the magic chain and sat on the sofa on the other side.
