Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

As a "hero" who has "sacrificed" for more than ten years.

Obviously, it is completely impossible for Wormtail to come out on his own and actively inquire about information. He can only rely on eavesdropping to simply understand the current situation.

The story of the Chamber of Secrets has gradually spread in Hogwarts, and Wormtail has obviously learned the general situation from the small talk among the young wizards.

After all, he was once a member of the Order of the Phoenix, worked as a double agent for a period of time, and jumped between the two camps for so long. Wormtail could easily see the connection between the Chamber of Secrets incident and the Dark Lord.

Coupled with the overwhelming reports about Sirius in the newspapers, he had already made up his mind to leave Hogwarts, a place of right and wrong, as soon as possible.

Even if they don't return to Voldemort, with the power of Animagus, finding a new wizard family to hide in will be much safer than the current situation.

Encircling three and missing one is a classic tactic that has long been proven by history. The enemy will often subconsciously choose the only chance to escape.

Wormtail is faced with such a situation.

From his perspective, this Hogsmeade weekend is his best chance to escape Hogwarts.

On this day, the dementors will evacuate collectively from Hogsmeade.

As a member of the Marauders team, although Wormtail knew that there were many secret passages in Hogwarts Castle, he did not dare to use them. He knew very well that Sirius also knew these secret passages very well.

They met on a narrow road, and he had no confidence in escaping from the opponent's hands a second time.

Because his only escape route was to quietly follow the student team.

Glenn's plan was to block Peter in the castle before he got into the student team.

For this reason, he specially asked Crookshanks from Sirius to prevent the mouse from escaping accidentally.

On Sunday morning, Crookshanks jumped onto the four-poster bed and rubbed his head on the back of his hand.

Glenn opened his eyes and raised his hand to scratch the base of its ears.

Crookshanks turned over and lay down, exposing his furry belly, and made a comfortable "gurgling" sound in his throat.

"Okay, Crookshanks, it's time for us to set off and get ready."

Glenn stroked it for a while, looked at the magic clock on the bedside and said.

Perhaps because of its traces of civet blood, Crookshanks is much smarter than ordinary cats. He instantly understood what Glenn meant, got up and jumped to the floor. The fleshy pads on his four paws acted as a good buffer.

, almost no sound was made.

Glenn summoned the system light screen and looked for Wormtail on the map.

Like the previous few days, he still did not return to Harry and Ron's dormitory, but stayed in the Slytherin common room. Based on his movements, Glenn guessed that he probably wanted to eavesdrop on something about Voldemort.

news.

From this point of view, he should have made up his mind to return to His Highness the Dark Lord.

Although he could only become cannon fodder at the lowest level in the Death Eater camp, compared to the days of fearfully avoiding Sirius, this was already the best life he could imagine.

For Glenn, this is actually good news. Compared with other floors that are connected in all directions, the route to the basement where the Slytherin lounge is located is not complicated. There is only one road leading to the castle gate upstairs.

Therefore, he only needed to choose a suitable corridor to ambush in advance and wait patiently for Wormtail to pass by.

Coupled with Crookshanks skimming the formation, it was almost foolproof against a mouse that didn't even have a wand.

Of course, according to Glenn's character, he would naturally have a backup plan.

He had communicated the plan with Dumbledore in advance. Once he missed, he would immediately use the phoenix feathers to perform his special move - Dumbledore flies in.

Dumbledore didn't hesitate much and quickly agreed. The crisis in the Chamber of Secrets had been completely resolved, there were no clues about the Horcruxes, and now the only important thing left was to clear Sirius's name.

The location for the ambush was chosen in a small corridor near the stairs. The walls here were made of solid granite slabs. There were no windows, and there were no small passages for easy escape such as mouse holes.

The most important thing is that there is a wooden door at the end of this corridor. As long as the door is closed tightly, a trap for catching turtles in an urn can be completed.

With the strength of a mouse, it is naturally impossible to push this door open unless it returns to human form.

For Glenn, catching a little wizard without a wand was even easier than catching a mouse.

After breakfast, Glenn took Crookshanks to the basement as planned. Slytherin students in third grade and above gathered in the foyer. Only the first and second grade wizards returned to the common room in twos and threes.

On the map, the cursor representing Wormtail has left the Slytherin lounge and is walking along the corridor towards the stairs.

Glenn looked in the other direction to confirm that no one would be coming in a short time. Then he closed the door in the corridor tightly, tapped the latch with his fingertips, and locked the wooden door.

"Hide, Crookshanks. If he runs away, find a way to drive him back." Glenn touched Crookshanks' head and said.

Crookshanks understood, took steps forward, and disappeared quietly at the end of the corridor.

The cursor flashed, Wormtail's speed was not slow, and he quickly arrived nearby. Glenn muttered "Wind Step" silently, and his figure disappeared instantly.

Not long after, a gray mouse appeared in Glenn's field of vision.

Compared to the first time they met a year ago, Wormtail looked much sluggish, his figure had obviously lost a lot of weight, and his originally smooth and smooth fur had become rough and mottled.

He moved very carefully, the tip of his nose twitched slightly, as if he was sniffing something, and his two pointed ears stood up high, one of which was even missing a piece.

Glenn secretly sighed in his heart. Fortunately, Windwalker was by his side. Otherwise, with Wormtail's cautious character, he might have found himself hiding here. Please put him in the jar.

Wormtail stopped in front of the closed door.

This is the only way to go upstairs. This door has never been closed. The situation in front of him was obviously beyond his expectation.

Glenn watched quietly, wanting to see if he would return to his human form and open the door.

Animagus is different from other magic spells. Once you master it, you can change it without using a wand.

Wormtail stretched out his claws with one missing toe and scratched at the crack of the door. He didn't know if he wanted to get out or to push the door open.

Obviously, this action had no effect. He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to take the risk.

He trembled slightly, then his body began to change.
