Chapter 222 Analysis and Layout

After talking about Buckbeak, Hagrid saw the cage in Ryan's hand and asked, What's wrong with you mouse?

Oh, this is Ron's pet. Ryan said, opening the cage and handing Scabbers to Hagrid. This mouse feels a lot thinner and less energetic than before. I've used some methods to treat it recently. , but it only prevented the rapid deterioration of the mouse's condition, but there is still no way to cure it. Among the people I know, only you know about these animals, so I want to find a way for you.

Let me see. After speaking, Hagrid took Banban with his big hand. It looks like he has suffered a lot of injuries before. It was torn apart, and one of the front paws was missing.

By the way, how old is this mouse? Hagrid asked Ryan after checking.

As far as I know, this is Percy's previous pet, maybe seven or eight years. Ryan said uncertainly.

Seven or eight years? It's a miracle. You must know that this ordinary mouse can only live for three years in most cases. However, there are always exceptions to everything, maybe this mouse is an exception. But even if it lives longer than normal mice It should also be at the end of its lifespan now, so I personally recommend that you feed it some absinthe or something, although it is not good for mice, but at least it will make it comfortable for the last time. Hagrid. Finally came to a conclusion.

Okay, thank you. After speaking, Ryan stuffed Scabbers back into the cage. After discussing which case to focus on for a while, Ryan and Hermione said goodbye and left Hagrid's cabin.

When they returned to the common room, Hermione suddenly said to Ryan, You go up and put the cage in place first, I have something to tell you.

Ryan nodded and quickly put the cage back in the common room, where he found Hermione sitting in a corner waiting for him.

As soon as he took the seat opposite Hermione, Hermione asked him, What the hell is that Weasley rat?

How do you see it's wrong? Ryan asked.

Others may think that the things wrapped around your cage are just an exotic decoration, but I've seen you take those beautiful little stones with strange runes in the temple and easily smash those zombies to ashes. You only need one stone for such a terrifying zombie, I don't think it can be a normal mouse that needs more than a dozen stones to wrap around the cage.

Well, you're watching carefully. What I want to tell you is that I suspect that the mouse might be a wizard.

What? Hermione didn't control the volume, and several classmates in the common room turned to look at her. She quickly lowered her voice and asked, Why do you think so?

Actually it was just an accident. Ryan said what he had made up in advance. You know I have some magic that can't be learned in school. When I got Scabbers the first day, I used a hypnotic spell for the soul, and he just fell asleep.

Hypnosis magic makes it fall asleep, it's normal. Hermione said with some puzzlement.

The problem is that it's for the human soul, and in theory animals shouldn't fall asleep, Ryan explained. After that, I experimented with similar magic a few times, and the final conclusion was that this mouse should have changed.

Seeing Hermione open her mouth with a shocked expression, Ryan paused and continued. Going to Hagrid today made it even more certain. It's not normal for an ordinary mouse that is not a magical animal to live so long.

So that mouse may have been changed by a wizard? If you can live like a mouse for several years, it means that the wizard cannot disclose his identity. In this case, there is a high probability that criminals in the wizarding world may use this method. Hide yourself. God, what are we going to do now? Hermione whispered nervously.

I even have a target of suspicion as to who this mouse is, but I have to ask someone to be sure. Ryan glanced at the common room after speaking.

Afterwards, he shouted to a tall red-haired boy: Senior Percy, I have a question for you here.

Percy quickly ended the ongoing conversation and came over, Hi Ryan, Hermione, what are you doing here?

We were discussing a problem, you know that Ron's mouse was treated here recently with me, and we found something, um, unusual, Ryan replied.

That rat? It used to be my pet. There are some questions I can answer for you, Percy said.

It used to be your pet? That's great. I wonder when that pet came to your house? What was it like when it first came to your house?

Well, that pet was originally brought back by my father. First to our big brother Bill, then to me when I was in school. Then to my little brother Ron when I got a new owl. It's been living in our house for twelve years. Oh my god, Scabbers has lived so long, I didn't notice. Percy was also a little shocked by this situation after careful recall.

As for what it looked like when I first arrived at our house, my father picked up a mouse in our garden that day. I remember very clearly that the mouse had wounds on its ears and one of its front paws was missing. Now I think about who we were at that time. I never imagined that this rat with wounds all over its body would have lived for so long, Percy finally said.

Ryan and Hermione looked at each other, and both saw a surprise in each other's eyes. It's just that Hermione was really surprised and Ryan was pretending.

Percy also saw from the exchange of expressions between the two that something was wrong, and asked, What exactly did you find in Banban?

Well, your mouse may be a human. Hermione said

How is that possible? Percy looked in disbelief.

It's true, Lane said. Because we brought Scabbers to Hagrid's place today, and he told me that a normal house mouse like this one has only three years to live.

Well, that's probably because the mice in our house live longer. Percy stammered in shock.

Longevity for a year or two can be considered normal, but four times the lifespan is a bit abnormal, right? According to the comparison of humans, Banban's age is equivalent to the Nicole May in the mouse, but it does not have the magic stone and the potion of immortality. He Min added.

Percy's face began to look ugly, after all, normal people know that they will not look better after sharing a bed with a stranger for several years.

At this time, Ryan continued: And based on what Senior Percy just said, I have probably guessed who this mouse is.

Who? said Percy and Hermione in unison.

Peter Perdilu, the man who should have been killed by Sirius Black in the legend.
