Hermione couldn't help it, her tears streamed down the corners of her eyes like beads with a broken thread. In her opinion, Crookshanks is very suspicious. It has always had a mysterious interest in Scabbers, and just reappeared near Gryffindor Tower, so maybe it really killed Scabbers.

Harry and Neville on the side also showed complicated expressions. The two of them also thought it might be Crookshanks, which Hermione kept, that killed Scabbers.

Hermione sobbed and tried to apologize to Ron: "Yeah, sorry...I, Crookshanks it—"

"Crookshanes is innocent," Tom interrupted her feeble excuse.

"Are you brainless? Or is your head stuffed with flour?" Tom took a step forward, almost in front of Ron. "Crookshanes is the murderer? You mean from the Ravenclaw public rest. ran out of the room, then ran into Gryffindor Tower, and finally slipped into your dorm, caught and killed Scabbers? Don't you think the logic inside is a little bit confusing?"

Crookshanks also meowed twice with Tom, as if to say: You're right, **** shoveler!

Ron's momentum stagnated: indeed, the two are too far apart. A cat, spanning such a long distance - if you let a little wizard who just entered the school walk from the Ravenclaw lounge to the Gryffindor tower, it is likely to get lost, not to mention a kitten.

And the purpose of all this is to catch a mouse? As for?

"There's an easy way to verify, Sir Cadogan!"

Tom turned to look at Sir Cadogan, who was standing beside his pony, watching the play with relish.

"Aha!" Sir Cadogan's spirit came to his senses when he heard Tom mention his name. "Brave, Cadogan's sword is always ready for someone like you."

Tom: ah this?

Why does it feel like I have a good impression of Sir Cadogan? Tom analyzed his situation a little bit, and suddenly found that in Sir Cadogan's perspective, he was definitely a disadvantaged group: the number of people was not dominant, and he was still at the gate of other colleges, and he had to protect the crying girls... This is so in keeping with Sir Cadogan's chivalrous spirit, how can he still call himself "Sir" if he doesn't help?

"Did you see the cat enter the common room from you yesterday?" Tom carried Crookshanks to Sir Cadogan's portrait, allowing him to see more clearly.

Ser Cadogan didn't even look at it, and held his head high to indicate that there was no password, and that no creature, not even a cat, could pass through the gate he was guarding.

Tom spread his hands, "Look, problem solved, it wasn't Crookshanks at all. I'll admit Crookshanks has a history of attacking Scabbers in Diagon Alley - but it's a cat, and the cat sees the mouse. Isn't it a normal thing to catch?"

Crookshanks: Meow (yes)!

Ron was deflated at once, and he was in a very embarrassing situation at this time.

"Don't put your fault on Hermione," Tom said seriously.

"My fault?" Ron raised his head again.

"Yeah, it's your fault, you didn't like it, didn't you? Maybe you kept it in a cage and these things wouldn't happen - a mouse's brain is that big, not as smart as other animals, and it's likely that Just ran away-"

"No, no, Banban is very smart, it has been in my house for twelve years, and it has never been lost," Ron repeatedly denied, with a frustrated look on his face, "I am sorry for it... I always feel that It's not free enough to keep it in a cage, but now that I think about it, it just lays there and sleeps every day..."

"Maybe it was the rats in the castle that attacked Scabbers, but I think Scabbers should still be alive." Tom casually talked about a possibility.

As soon as these words were said, Ron raised his head, and his eyes glowed: "Yes, Scabbers may still be alive! If it was done by rats, there should be other traces left at the scene, Tom, you What is the solution?"

Tom completely shoots arrows and then draws targets, and he knows Peter Pettigrew isn't going to die so easily. How can an adult wizard be killed by a mouse or a cat? He came up with such a big play, nothing more than to "escape the golden cicada".

Sirius' attack did frighten him, so he couldn't wait to find a chance to escape. It's just that the forged evidence during this escape is somewhat insufficient. It might have been more convincing if it had left a few cat hairs next to its own blood. But unfortunately, Gryffindor House has no students who keep cats, so this time Peter Pettigrew's forged "murder scene" is not so realistic.

So many things have changed. If Crookshanks lives in Gryffindor and has a history of assaulting Scabbers, if he can get Crookshanks' hair, and if there is no one who can analyze as calmly as Tom, then the pot will be deducted Sturdy, it will bear the name of "murderer" for a long time, and Hermione will live in guilt for a long time.

Fortunately, none of these things happened.

"Okay, stop crying," Tom walked in front of Hermione, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the tears from the corners of Hermione's eyes and cheeks.

"Well," after Hermione took Crookshanks from Tom's hand, she held it aggrievedly and stood aside, quietly waiting for the end of the matter.

But Tom has no idea of ​​leaving for the time being. Now Sirius is lurking in a corner of the school, how dangerous it is, it is better to send Scabbers to his master.

Tom was a helpful kid who now decided to help Ron find his little mouse.

Ron was stunned when he heard what Tom was thinking, and he said incoherently, "Tom, you—why, I said thank you, but how did you do it? I don't have a clue."

"We can divination." Tom gave his method~lightnovelpub.net~ The rest of the people present:  …

Among the five people present, only Tom really believed in divination. The other four, Harry, Ron and Neville, all felt that divination was unreliable, while Hermione directly thought it was a trick taught by a liar, she almost said "I'm not targeting anyone, I want to say All masters of divination are liars."

In Hermione's eyes, all divination was bullshit. In addition to arithmetic and divination, this course is a bit interesting.

"So, what should we do?" Ron raised his eyebrows, choosing a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"Professor Trelawney taught us branch divination before. I think we can try it. It was mentioned in the book "Branch Divination"."

This book is a supplementary teaching material for the divination class, and Professor Trelawney mentioned it in the class. Of course Tom hadn't read the book.

But that doesn't prevent him from using it to fool people.
