Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 195 Rat

Although there is a Quidditch match at nine o'clock, since it is still early in the morning and it is Saturday, most of the students at Hogwarts are still staying in bed enjoying their sleep.

After going down to the first floor, Rossi finally saw Lupine standing in the foyer, but Blake, whom he was chasing, had disappeared.

Where is Blake? Where has he gone?

While thinking about it, she, who was still invisible, stepped lightly and walked down the marble stairs without making a sound.

At this moment, the door to the Slytherin dungeon was pushed open from inside, and Snape walked up quickly with an angry look on his face.

After seeing Lu Ping standing at the door, his face was obviously startled, and then he snorted slightly and slowly walked behind Lu Ping:

"Let me guess, did you take advantage of the good weather last night to go out for a walk under the moon?"

The provocative sarcasm made Rosie almost stop laughing. She covered her mouth hard and slowly hid behind the huge statue on the right side of the foyer.

"Snape, I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now."

Looking back at him, Lu Ping secretly clenched his fist.

"Not in the mood?"

"Squeak!"

In the drizzle, the Quidditch pitch looked a little blurry.

As he spoke, he drew out his wand without hesitation and pointed at Lupine quickly:

"The true form is revealed!"

mouse?!!

"That's not important, Blake!"

Snape's lips curved into a sneer, "That's right, isn't that just your nature?"

Um...should I go to the temporary lounge of the stadium? Ordinarily, if Hermione went there, Black would avoid her.

Rossi rubbed the arm that was a little sore from his scratching just now, "Can't you find him? For example, by following the scent or something like that?"

"Stealing your ingredients to make Polyjuice Potion?"

Rossi muttered to himself, holding up his umbrella and walking quickly towards the Quidditch pitch.

Upon hearing this, Blake took two steps back in disappointment, and then grabbed his hair with a ferocious expression.

Snape sneered, "I think you have a guilty conscience, right? You used my ingredients to brew Polyjuice Potion secretly. You don't think I will never find out, do you?"

Without explaining in these minutiae, Rosie simply said the most important thing: she had just seen the gray mouse in the hall of Hogwarts.

Running along the eaves to the back door of the castle, Rossi planned to go to the Quidditch pitch to look for Black who might have gone there.

"Looking for me? How did you know I was here?"

The invisible curse instantly penetrated Lu Ping's body, but it did not cause any changes.

The moment he saw the mouse, Rossi's eyes moved to its front paws, and there was a toe missing.

Rossi, who had just lost his invisibility spell, walked out from behind the statue and thought suspiciously, "But if that's the case, why did he force his way into the Gryffindor Tower through the portrait of the fat woman?"

"What? You saw Peter?!!"

After that, he turned around and walked towards the Slytherin dungeon without looking back.

"But it at least means he's hiding in Hogwarts."

Did it escape by drilling a hole?

Muttering in her mind, she was about to step forward to check when she heard Filch's cursing voice coming from the administrator's office behind her.

Just as I was thinking about it, Blake's deep voice suddenly came to mind:

"I've never done anything like this, Snape!"

"I told you, I'm not!"

Lupine suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Snape's collar, then pushed him out hard.

"Who are you looking for again?"

Lupine looked over with a stunned expression.

"Yeah?"

Standing at the highest point of the stands, looking around on tiptoes, Rossi tried hard to concentrate so that he could see through the gray drizzle and see the target clearly.

Blake looked at Rosie without blinking, his thin face full of suspicion, "Who told you I was here?"

Without checking whether the wall was repaired perfectly, she hurriedly ran towards the outside of Hogwarts Castle.

Now that she has discovered the traces of Peter Pettigrew, maybe Blake can find a way to find him!

"Maybe... you can rely on the smell? Although it sounds like a curse, he is also a real dog after his transformation!"

After circling Lupine for a week, Snape looked at him with disdain in his eyes and continued:

"Hmph! Black can appear in school without your help, right? Is that despicable criminal currently wandering around Hogwarts wearing someone else's appearance?"

Blake took a step forward and grabbed her arms firmly with both hands, "Then did you catch him?!!"

She had an intuition in her heart that the answer to this question must be very crucial to this copy.

After turning the wand upside down and silently casting a spell to protect herself from the cold and warmth, she felt a little warmer, and her calves, which were not wearing any clothing to keep them warm, were no longer cold.

With a bang, the small hole in the corner of the wall was opened by a magic spell, but the mouse that was inside just now disappeared completely.

"Blake?"

Snape raised his nose and snorted contemptuously again. He didn't want to believe a word of Lupin's words, "Then let me verify a guess first!"

However, after observing for a long time, I still didn't see anyone's shadow.

Rossi explained with a wry smile.

"What? Do you dare to do it or not?"

Oops! There’s too much movement!

After staggering back a few steps, Snape finally stood firm. He snorted softly and adjusted his wrinkled collar with both hands:

"Don't let me catch you, Lupin, or I will send you and that criminal to Azkaban!"

The sudden sound immediately caught Rosie's attention. She followed the sound and saw a gray mouse with its mouth open curled up sickly in a hole in the corner, staring at Rosie with a pair of small eyes.

.

"He was in the mouse hole. When I pulled out my wand and was about to cast a spell, he escaped from the other side of the mouse hole!"

"Polyjuice Potion? Did Black use the transformation potion to get through Hogwarts?"

It’s Peter Pettigrew!!

Rossi reacted immediately, took out his wand and was about to cast the confinement spell when he saw the mouse suddenly retreat and disappear into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Rosie turned around in surprise, "I'm looking for you!"

Rossi immediately changed the spell.

Lu Ping frowned tightly, "Whether you believe it or not, I am definitely not what you think!"

"Explosion rumble!"

Hearing the footsteps inside gradually getting heavier, Rossi hurriedly threw a repair spell at the place that was blasted by the blasting spell.

After Snape left, Lupine, who had lowered his head and pondered for a moment, seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly walked upstairs.

"Where is the person? Haven't you come here yet?"

Without answering Rossi's words, Blake gasped for air, clenched his fists and punched the stands several times in a ventive manner.

It wasn't until blood seeped out from his fist that he finally calmed down: "It's very difficult! What that guy is best at is running away and hiding. Based on what I know about him, I'm afraid he has already started to think of ways to escape from Hogwarts!

"

"Then we have to hurry up!"

Hearing Black's words, Rossi's face suddenly became solemn, "If he wants to escape, then there is no time more suitable than during the Quidditch match!"
