Chapter 755: Animal foot

Since the attack, Ron Weasley has been the subject of attention, and he himself seems to enjoy the feeling of being a celebrity. As long as someone wants to listen, he is willing to tell the other party what happened that night, and he also adds a lot of "details" descriptions.

Neville Longbottom, who led Sirius Black to successfully invade the Gryffindor Tower, was also punished for this incident. On the second day Blake broke into the Gryffindor Tower, Longbottom received a roaring letter from his grandmother. For a while, Mr. Longbottom succeeded in replacing Malfoy as a post-dinner joke.

However, none of this has affected Albert, and he still leads a busy and fulfilling life every day.

"give!"

After class, Albert handed the folder to Katrina, "All the test papers you want are in it."

"Thank you." Katrina held the folder in her arms and thanked Albert in a low voice.

"You're welcome, it's agreed." Albert turned and walked towards Fred, George and Lee Jordan who were still waiting for him.

"We are going to check that secret road."

Fred looked around and made sure no one was eavesdropping around, then lowered his voice and said, "We might know where Black invaded the castle."

"I've checked again and again. The portrait just happened to be out of the security patrol area, and Filch didn't know that there was a secret road leading to the outside of the castle." George added, "The old guy recently used a lot of secret roads It's all blocked."

"If Black really enters from there, should we tell Professor McGonagall about it?"

As soon as the voice fell, Lee Jordan found that the surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

The three looked at Albert and waited for each other to make a decision.

"Let's talk about it! Okay, no one around, hurry up." Albert scanned the map in his hand and made sure that there was no one around, urging the three of them to move faster.

The portrait slowly moved away, revealing the passage behind it, and the four immediately rushed in. George immediately closed the entrance of the secret passage to prevent others from discovering the existence of the secret passage.

After lighting the wand, they were attracted by the footprints on the ground.

"There are footprints, we guessed it." Lee Jordan pointed to the fuzzy footprints on the ground and excitedly announced the good news to everyone.

The twins once sprinkled a layer of chalk powder in this passage. Although it has been a long time, they can still tell whether anyone has used this secret passage.

"Sirius Black really entered the castle from this secret passage," Fred was excited about their new discovery. He held his wand and walked at the forefront of the team. He soon discovered that the footprints on the ground had disappeared and replaced it. It is the footprint of an unknown animal. "

"What footprint is this?" George lowered his wand, trying to see the footprints on the ground, which were the footprints of some kind of animal.

"Cat paw print?"

"Blake became a cat?"

The three of them remembered Albert’s last speculation and said in unison: "Blake is Animagus. Professor McGonagall has the ability to turn himself into a cat. If Blake can also become a cat. It’s not surprising to be able to escape from the Azkaban prison. I dare say that the cell over there must not be able to contain Black. Moreover, the Dementor has no eyes, and even if Black becomes a cat, they don’t know. "

Albert did not answer the words of the three of them, and silently took out the camera from the deformed lizard skin bag and took a few photos of those footprints.

Several people continued walking along the passage, and found other similar animal footprints where the chalk dust had been scattered.

On the way back to the castle, the four were discussing the matter, and they even boldly suspected that Sirius Black had become a cat hiding in the school.

"Why do you think Blake will become a cat?"

Albert handed the few photos he had taken to three friends. "If Blake becomes a cat, he doesn’t need Gryffindor’s password at all, because no one will doubt a cat and this It should be a dog's footprint. I can still tell the difference between a cat's footprint and a dog's footprint. Look at their pads. If you don't believe me, you can tell Tom to step on the footprints and compare them with the photos. Just like I guessed last time Yes, the bigfoot should be Black, if he is really an Animagus."

"Perhaps, we should go to the library to check Animagus' records." Lee Jordan proposed.

"Don't be silly, if you were Animagus, would you go to the Ministry of Magic to register?" George shook his head and said, "If Blake is really Animagus, I think he will definitely not announce this. Thing."

"I checked the relevant information. There are only seven Animagus in this century." Albert added: "However, as George said, there must be something missing, because if I were an Animagus Si, I will not register either, anyway, as long as it's not used to steal information, don't be known by the Ministry of Magic."

"I think we are very close to the truth." Fred said excitedly. "If there is a dog wandering around the school, it might be Black."

"It should be a black dog." Albert reminded.

"Why a black dog?"

"Because of Black."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this." George looked at Albert suspiciously and asked, "I wonder if you already knew it."

"Well, my prediction to Black turned out to be a black dog." Albert did not deny this. "I didn't tell you directly because I needed evidence."

"Harry said he once met a black dog." Fred said suddenly.

"Well, his black dog was considered ominous, and he talked about it with me." Albert said that there was indeed such a thing: "Now it is completely confirmed. By the way, I was in Hogmore. I saw a black dog in De's alley."

"If that was Black, why did he give up killing Harry, and... the attack a few days ago was also very strange. I remember you once said that Sirius Black is Harry's godfather." George felt more and more. This thing is weird.

"Now there are signs that Sirius Black's target may not be Harry, but other people." Fred agreed with George's point of view.

"Could it be that Pettigrew Peter?" Lee Jordan said tentatively: "I think that Wormtail should be him. Since Blake may be Animagus, then Harry's father and Pettigrew Peter Will it all be Animagus? I remember Albert once said that the nickname on the map of Live Point may represent deformation."

"What is Harry's father?" Fred asked.

"Stag, Potter's patron saint is stag. He is very similar to his father, so he is probably also stag, which corresponds to the nickname of prongs."

"Harry's patron saint?" George's voice rose slightly.

I don't know why, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little depressed.

"How long did it take Harry to summon the patron saint of flesh?" Fred suddenly asked.

"About half a year, if it counts from the time he went to Professor Lupin to train, it would be more than a month?" Albert also didn't know the exact time.

There was a weird silence, Fred and George suddenly stopped, stretched out their hands to carry Lee Jordan's shoulders, and said earnestly: "You should work hard."

"Shut up, we are now discussing about Black." Lee Jordan broke free of the twins' hands and forced the topic back. "I am a little suspicious of Black now. After all, dogs generally represent loyalty. I really can't imagine Black will be. Betray your friends, would you do this?"

"No?" Fred and George shook their heads together.

"What if the mysterious man threatens you with your family?" Albert asked suddenly.

There was a longer silence.

Yes, what if the mysterious person threatens with his family?

"So, the person who betrayed Harry's father might be the dead Pettigrew Peter?" Fred frowned and said, "That guy isn't actually dead?"

"His code name is Wormtail?"

"What do you think he would be if he were Animagus?" George asked.

"insect?"

"Obviously impossible. Wormtail should mean that the tail is like a worm." Albert speculated. "It should be a mouse."

"Mouse?" George repeated softly. He thought of one thing, and suddenly felt terrified: "Scaly! Yes, Scaly, Ron’s mouse is probably Pettigrew Peter."

"But... how is it possible?" Fred looked at Albert, and his face was slightly pale after seeing him nodding slightly.

"Don't forget, Scabbard has been alive for a long time. Since Percy bought a new owl, the mouse has become Ron's pet. God knows how long it has lived, five years, seven years, or even longer. George pointed out the evidence, "I remember Albert mentioned before that the life span of that mouse was a bit abnormal, and he joked that it would be very valuable to sell to Muggles..."

If Shaban is really a wizard, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is really terrible.

However, everything is reasonable. If Scab is really Peter Pettigrew, then he may be the one who betrayed Harry's father. Otherwise, why would a living person pretend to be a mouse for more than ten years?

Sirius Black apparently discovered from the "Daily Prophet" that Peter was still alive, so he escaped from Azkaban and tried to kill Peter Pettigrew to avenge his friend while Scabbard was in Harry's dormitory.

"If Blake is really innocent, shall we still catch him to exchange for a reward?" Lee Jordan asked suddenly.

There was another long silence.

"Grab the guy first. Then we can prepare some Veritaserum, or give him a dementia. I think we definitely need to figure out the specific truth first." Albert finalized the final decision: "There. Before, we have to be prepared. I think if Blake shows up, he is probably to capture Peter Pettigrew. If that guy is really alive, then we can capture Peter to exchange money. If the Ministry doesn’t want it, we Just trade with Black, I believe he will definitely be willing to pay a large sum of money to buy that mouse."

At this moment, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were all staring at Albert with stunned mouths. They didn't expect it to be like this at all.

"This is blackmail!" Fred reminded in a low voice.

"How can this be considered extortion? We spent so much energy, took so much risk, and finally safeguarded the justice of the magical world. We can't leave empty-handed!" Albert said solemnly, "not to mention, Black himself. There is a reward. Before the reward is cancelled, we caught Black and we should get the reward. As for whether Black is innocent or not, that's what the Ministry of Magic should worry about and what matters to us. Also, you don't want to leave empty-handed. Right?"
