Chapter 219 Negligence

Peter Pettigrew, as a rat, has lived in humiliation at the Weasleys for more than ten years.

The Weasley kids were fine with it, but you couldn't expect them to be so comfortable with a rat when they were barely sufficed, so even if it was adopted. , Peter Pettigrew can only continue to live a hungry and full meal.

But it didn't matter, at least his life was saved.

People may not believe it, but Peter Pettigrew is actually quite satisfied with his life if Blake doesn't come to seek revenge.

No worries about food and drink, a bed, boring but stable days In fact, "boring" itself is the biggest reward for him.

Although the Sorting Hat has never been missed, Peter Pettigrew has always believed that the Sorting Hat must have made a mistake in getting him to Gryffindor, because he didn't want to be noticed at all, and he didn't want to be a hero, much less a brave man.

On the contrary, even the most able to endure the harsh environment would be amazed at Peter's ability to live with the situation and live in the form of a mouse for more than ten years, which is probably not something ordinary people can do.

Peter has reason to suspect that it is because he is neither smart nor ambitious, nor loyal enough, and the courage to betray his friends has become the most prominent point of all his qualities, so the Sorting Hat will divide him.

It's not so much that he's the best fit for Gryffindor, it's that he's just too unfit for the other three houses.

Anyway, deep down in his heart, he actually felt a little bit guilty about the Potters, so he subconsciously regarded "living as a mouse" as a self-defeating act.

Although the punishment for himself is much better than squatting in Azkaban, it is not a cage for himself.

The fact that Sirius Black came to seek revenge made him uneasy for a long time. He knew that this guy was a lunatic, and he was the most active among the four of them. As the only one who knew the truth, it was impossible for Black not to come. trouble yourself

He even thought about whether to leave the Weasleys' house and run away quickly, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that although the world is big, as a traitor, he has nowhere to escape.

As long as he reappears in human form, no matter how many people he can deceive with rhetoric, he still cannot avoid a question: why has he never dared to show up?

Obviously, he couldn't answer that question.

As for the former Death Eaters, he didn't dare to ask for help, because he was not on the same path as them from beginning to end, and he "surrendered" Voldemort only because he was timid.

As we all know, the capitulation faction is a kind of thing that is not welcome on both sides of the enemy. Peter wasn't sure if the Death Eaters who were still out there would sell themselves backhandedly as a tool to clear their suspicions today when Voldemort lost power.

The only thing that can comfort him is that the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts are well-defended, Black may not be able to get in, and reading the newspaper, the Ministry of Magic has issued a lore order to Blake, allowing the wizard Yiren to see him. Then use the death curse.

After thinking about it, Peter found that he had no way to go, so he could only stay by Ron Weasley's side, hoping that the guards of the Ministry of Magic and the defense of Hogwarts would be stronger, and killed Black as soon as he saw him. .

If it doesn't work, he really can only run away, trying to find Voldemort, or even if he turns into a mouse and hides in the sewers, Black can use the Tracking Charm to find himself.

Fortunately, Hogwarts has been quiet for a while, and Blake seems to have given up trying after failing to pass the portrait, and has never been seen again, which is somewhat comforting to him.

Today, his little owner decided to take him to the Quidditch pitch to relax and stay away from the big **** cat.

For this decision, he raised his hands and feet in agreement - he didn't know why, the broken cat kept staring at him and biting, if it wasn't for the fear of exposure, he would have turned into its original form and stuffed the cat into the kitchen stove. .

Alas, Quidditch—what's the fun in this crap? Dangerous and expensive... just go out and relax.

Just as Harry Potter rode his Firebolt whizzing into the sky, Peter Pettigrew stuck his head out of Ron's pocket.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but this one almost made her cardiac arrest one by one.

On the balcony high up on the Quidditch pitch, a **** cat is lying beside a large black dog. The cat and the dog basked lazily in the sun, watching the Quidditch game with the rest of the little wizards.

Damn, I knew there was something wrong with that cat! Peter Pettigrew shouted in his heart.

He was so frightened that he immediately retracted into Ron's pocket, making Ron a little confused.

Ron looked around suspiciously, then saw Hermione's cat beside him

"Poor Scabbers, he was frightened by the beast."

If it was in the past, he would definitely quarrel with Hermione again, but Hermione didn't sit with him, and although she was watching the game today, she put on a hat and scarf and wrapped herself tightly. Strictly, a person sat in the corner.

Seeing her like this, Ron can't still argue with her, can he? He's just emotional

Low, and not a lever.

Ron sighed, then took out Hermione's apology gift from his pocket, the bottle of rat tonic, took one, and threw it into his pocket.

\"Eat, I'm going to help you take a bath when you go back..."

At this moment, Harry rode the Firebolt and began to charge the Golden Snitch.

Ron tucked it back into his pocket, and together with his classmates, desperately cheered for Gryffindor.

Gryffindor's triumphant return put Harry and Ron in a good mood, and while celebrating in the common room, the two shared the food that Fred and George had stolen from the kitchen, and the The Butterbeer stored in the broom was discussed in earnest for a while.

"I think we're doing it wrong." Harry finally figured it out, "Now that I think about it, no one would give me such an expensive broom for no reason, and you can't let a A cat is smart enough to know which mice can and cannot be eaten."

Ron glanced at the corner of the common room - indeed, in the festive atmosphere, Hermione, who was reading a book by herself, looked so aloof, even bleak.

He was also a little soft-hearted: "Maybe you're right, buddy. In fact, when I went to Egypt, I bought a pair of gold beetle earrings with the pocket money my dad gave me..."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Harry asked back, "Let's go apologize together! Let's find some topics to talk about first, as if nothing happened, and when the atmosphere is better and less embarrassing, We apologize again."

"Listen to you, buddy

Ron agreed, and he ran upstairs.

But when Ron ran downstairs again, Harry couldn't see the pair of gold beetle earrings in his hand, but a **** sheet one by one and a pinched earring in his hand. A few **** cat hairs.

It's troublesome now...

Hearing Ron's roar resounding throughout the lounge, Harry didn't know what to do next.

Chapter 220 Perfect Stagger

After completing his last wish, Blake decided to leave tonight to complete his big plan.

He knew that the lion cubs in Gryffindor would celebrate and maybe drink butterbeer when they won—just like he and James and the others did.

By the time these kids have exhausted all their energy at Quidditch games and celebratory dinners and drink beer, they're sure to sleep groggy at night and no one will find themselves in their common room.

Quickly enter the common room, find Ron's dorm with Crookshanks' help, and kill the rat... easy, no?

Originally he planned to kill the rat, yell in the Gryffindor common room, dismember the rat in front of everyone, and wait for the Ministry of Magic to take him away, but now He hesitated again.

From the information he had learned recently, he learned that his godson was not doing well at his uncle's house, and even suffered from starvation, heavy work, refusal to allow him to go to Hogsmeade, and many other abuses, which made him feel Very disturbed.

Can't I adopt him?

As soon as the idea appeared in his mind, it took root there so deeply that he could never forget it.

Thinking about it carefully, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of Snape, everyone should at least listen to their own defense, right?

But if you still stay in the tower after killing Peter, I am afraid that anyone who sees him at first glance will involuntarily cast a curse on himself, then there will be no chance.

After thinking about it, Sirius finally came up with a way that is not a solution.

When the assassination of Peter was successful, he was using magic words to leave a sentence in the common room for Dumbledore.

\"I'll be waiting for you at the place where the moon shell face goes every month, principal."

-In this way, Dumbledore didn't know about the screaming shack? And outsiders don't even know what they're talking about.

Perfect!

After pulling the password paper out of the bushes, Black hid it in the folds of his neck.

Originally, this fold should not exist, but Naihe has eaten and slept, slept and ate.

Life is so good, he feels like he's gotten a whole lot fatter

so…

7

No, after the revenge is over, I must travel all over the world to lose this fat, go home during the holidays, and take Harry back by the way...

With a good vision for the future, he stole Lockhart's old wand again, put it in his mouth, and got into Honey Duke's cellar while the movie was playing.

However, as soon as he got into the secret passage, he found something wrong: because there were two more smells of strangers here.

When he came to confirm the condition of this secret passage last year, no one had walked through this secret passage, so there was no smell.

But now, in this secret passage, there are 4 people's scents---one is his own

,—one from Harry Potter, and two very fresh scents, just a few hours ago.

Black hesitated for a moment - is this secret passage really safe?

Fortunately, the two fresh footprints didn't look like adults. Judging from their size, they should still be students, and in addition to the smell of the two people, there was also a subtle smell of beer and candy in the air.

If I guessed correctly, there should be some students who sneaked over to Honeyduke and bought candy and wine from the shopkeeper.

...I can't see it, the owner of Honey Duke looks at the thick eyebrows and big eyes, and actually secretly does this kind of thing. Moreover, it seems that the robber is also a successor, and it is not only his godson who discovered this secret way.

Black accidentally discovered another secret transaction, but he didn't care much about it, he only knew that the secret passage was safe for the time being.

Although he didn't know who it was, Black guessed that the two students must be Gryffindors, because only Gryffindors would not disclose the secret they knew when they knew that a murderer had sneaked in through the secret passage. Doo told the principal.

Black sneaked all the way through the secret passage, until he came to the bottom of the steps, and then changed back to his human form.

Holding his wand and password paper, he estimated the time in his mind.

At this time, it should be more than nine o'clock in the evening, the students have just started to go to bed one after another, and he has to wait a little longer.

Black sat in the dark like this, constantly replaying his plans in his mind, while letting the fire of revenge in his chest burn more and more, until the clock struck midnight, he sat up abruptly from the steps. , step by step towards the exit statue.

Blake's will for revenge can be said to be unsteady, but things in the world are often not driven by human will.

Just as Black rushed towards the Gryffindor Tower, Peter Pettigrew appeared on the bridge leading out of Hogwarts.

He was really freaked out: when he saw Crookshanks and Sirius during the day

As they sat together, he realized something was wrong.

After returning to Gryffindor Tower, he decisively and quickly created the illusion of being eaten by a cat and fled from Ron's side.

Although it makes him feel somewhat far away from a place where he can provide himself with warmth and food

It was a bit reluctant to give up, but at the crux of the matter, it turned out that life was more important.

If Sirius has bought Crookshanks, it will be very easy for him to get the way to enter Gryffindor. In other words, he may be killed by the intruding Sirius at any time, so still It is better to escape as soon as possible.

It has to be said that although Peter is not good at casting spells, not good at dueling, not good at sports and not good at homework, even when he is a bad guy, he is not cruel enough, not vicious enough, and he can hardly see Tian Ke's shining point. But when it comes to formal judgment, his sense of crisis and his ability to stand in line are still very strong.

He can always rely on instinct to determine which side is stronger - so when Dumbledore was still famous, he decided to join Voldemort.

Facts have also proved that a single Dumbledore cannot guarantee the safety of all the members of the Order of the Phoenix, and the resistance of the Ministry of Magic has become increasingly fragile after the deaths of the wizards who experienced the Grindelwald Rebellion.

Over time, power only makes the immortal Voldemort stronger and Dumbledore older. The families who supported Voldemort were getting higher and higher and richer, while those who opposed him were assassinated one by one.

More importantly, even if the Death Eater was caught, as long as he gave up resistance, the Ministry of Magic could only capture him in Azkaban, and Voldemort would rescue him sooner or later, but the Order of the Phoenix fell to Voldemort's hands are mortal. You say, Peter, who is very concerned about his personal life, why would he put himself in a dangerous situation where he could die at any time?

Peter counted everything, but who would have thought that Voldemort could be solved by a mere baby?

The world is impermanent!

Chapter 221 Rat falls in Pingyang

While Peter Pettigrew was sighing about his own destiny, there was even a trace of grievance in his heart.

Who is this kid provoking? I've never killed anyone myself! I just want to live, is it really that difficult?

That **** Blake doesn't even think about it. I don't know how many times I've slept in the same room with Harry Potter over the past three years. If I'm really a bad person, wouldn't Harry have died thousands of times? Why can't he just stay in Azkaban?

Assholes, they're all assholes! When I was in school, I looked down on people because of my intelligence and motor skills, and it is still the same now!

Cursing in his heart, he quickly passed the stone bridge of Hogwarts and ran towards the hillside.

He didn't dare to go to the Forbidden Forest, who knew what monsters would eat him there; there were too many people on the Quidditch pitch, and it was inevitable that sharp-eyed people would find him; Plenty of food, but I'm not sure that Blake is shaving and eating there for a while, and it's not safe there.

Therefore, only the mountains near Hogwarts are safer.

It is far from the Forbidden Forest and has a wide field of vision. You can see the surrounding movement anytime and anywhere, and you can hide in it by digging a hole. And the snow that melts in the spring will also make it muddy, and no one will go there.

Although there is less food on the mountain, as a mouse, he does not need a lot of food. Grass seeds and snow water are enough for him to survive. If he is lucky, he might even be able to pick up some berries from the bushes. .

And now that spring has gradually entered, the weather will only get warmer, and in summer, he can go to the farmland around Hogsmeade and hang out with the voles.

Communicate where there is something to eat, and then store some for the winter...

Damn, is this the day people should live?

He quickly ran up the mountain, and relying on his memory, he was going to find a shady place to dig a hole and settle down.
