Chapter 382: Bring to Justice (Second Update, Guaranteed)

Peter Pettigrew was very scared. He didn't want to go to Azkaban, let alone be kissed by a dementor. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't. Sirius pinched his tail tightly. Peter Pettigrew turned into a mouse instead of a gecko. He couldn't escape by cutting off his tail, so he could only become meat on the chopping board. Let others slaughter you.

"Okay, hand it to me." Dumbledore's voice came from behind them. Sirius turned around and handed Peter to Dumbledore.

"It's 'he', not 'it'." Sirius corrected Dumbledore's wording.

"You won't know until you try it." Dumbledore did not jump to conclusions. Although he was 99% sure, he still needed to conduct final verification.

At this time, another conversation was taking place in the office.

"Ron, why are you here?" Percy was stunned and confused. However, after he got up and looked around the office, he didn't see Fred and George, only a stunned Ron.

Percy came to understand everything.

Percy blurted out: "Ron, you're the one who's going to be expelled?!"

Ron:? ? ?

Am I going to be fired? I do not know how!

"Who said I was going to be fired?"

Faced with this question, Percy was startled, "All the students outside are saying that the Weasley brother is going to be expelled."

Ron:…

"False rumors!" He covered his face, "I was just called to the office by Professor Dumbledore!"

When Percy heard this, the tight string in his heart relaxed. Fortunately, his brother was not expelled, which was great, he thought sincerely. At this moment, Percy only had this thought in his mind.

But after the joy in his heart faded, he realized a few questions: Why was his younger brother, who was ordinary and abiding by school rules, called to the principal's office alone by Professor Dumbledore? You know, his brother went to school here for seven years and was never called here alone. Also, he seemed to have seen the fugitive Sirius standing in the office just now?

"Why were you called here?" Percy thought for a moment and chose to ask his brother first.

"Dumbledore is very interested in Scabbers." Ron thought this was ridiculous, but it was reality! The greatest magician of the 20th century brought him to his office just to see the rats he raised. Who would believe it!

[Dumbledore brought him into the office, then touched his thigh and said, "It's quite strong!"] It's even more believable than this plot!

Percy:…

"I think I saw Sirius just now?"

The two brothers chatted in the principal's office.

The three Dumbledores returned to the office with Ron's rat Scabbers.

"headmaster!"

"Professor Dumbledore!"

Seeing them coming back, Percy and Ron stood up hurriedly.

"Everyone, sit down." Dumbledore was as gentle as ever, and he conjured a chair for everyone present.

"Today I'm going to show you two a not-so-practical spell that can force an animagus to return to its human form."

Hearing what Dumbledore said, Percy raised his head and stared at Scabbers in disbelief. He understood what Dumbledore meant: the rat he had raised in his home for more than ten years was actually an Animagus!

He felt nauseous and broke into a cold sweat. A big living person has been lurking in his home, getting along with his family day and night, and even being held by them and sleeping in the same bed every day... Just thinking about it makes me panic.

Dumbledore didn't care about what other people thought. He took out the wand, holding Scabbers in one hand and holding the wand in the other, and then a blue light flashed.

Banban stopped in mid-air, his little body twisted crazily for a while, and then fell to the ground. With a dazzling flash of light, a head emerged from the mouse's body, followed by the body, limbs... Soon, A short man appeared in front of everyone.

He stood where Banban was just now, with his hands folded together, timidly. This short man was not taller than Ron, his hair was dull and dull, he had a large patch of baldness, and his skin was as dirty as the patchy fur. The whole person looked very depressed and mentally exhausted.

Throughout the entire process, from beginning to end, Ron said not a word, and even the expression on his face did not change. It’s already because too much new information has caused my brain to freeze.

【ah. My rat is actually an animagus. ah. My mouse became a human being. ] Such thoughts floated through his mind, but they did not cause any waves, for the time being.

Soon he came back to his senses, and Ron's face suddenly turned pale, as if all the blood had been drained out.

This mouse, or rather this uncle, has been sleeping in his own bed for the past few years! Sometimes I would bury my nose in his belly, take a deep breath, and tease it a few times! ! I often tell him my innermost secrets! ! !

If Ron knew the Killing Curse, he would definitely choose to kill Peter Pettigrew. But on the surface, he was still as expressionless as a wooden sculpture.

"Peter, long time no see." Lupine greeted Peter Pettigrew in a relaxed and cheerful tone, just like two old friends meeting again after many years. Sirius, who was standing next to him, made a strange clicking sound, as if he was chewing something.

As for Dumbledore, he seemed to have become invisible, leaving the stage to these three old acquaintances.

Peter spoke, his voice high-pitched and thin. He first glanced at Dumbledore, and then at his two old friends.

"Sirius, Remus, and...Professor Dumbledore!" He suddenly pounced, but not to escape. Instead, he pounced in front of Dumbledore and hugged one of his arms. leg.

"I finally see you, Professor Dumbledore!" Big drops of tears and strands of nose dripping from the corners of his eyes and nostrils, "I——"

"Peter, you came just in time. Sirius and Remus were telling me stories earlier. They were talking about some old things that happened around the time when James and Lily were killed. You are also a witness, can you help them fill in some details? ?" Dumbledore's kind expression had already faded away, and everyone felt fear from the bottom of their hearts when looking at his expressionless expression.

Hearing what Dumbledore said, Peter jumped up immediately, "Professor, Remus, don't be fooled by him! You won't believe him - he wants to kill me!"
