The Admiral of Hogwarts

"That rat looks just like Ron's pet rat," Hermione said, recognizing the rat held in Enterprise's hand just as Hugo was asking Enterprise what to do next.

It had to be said that Peter's appearance after turning into a rat was quite distinctive. Therefore, one could easily recognize the rat's identity with a simple glance.

"I'm afraid we can't return this rat to Ron for the time being, because this rat is an illegal Animagus, so I need to hand it over to Headmaster Dumbledore," Enterprise said, shaking her head.

It turned out that after Hugo and Hermione disappeared in that burst of light, she decisively used a Stunning Spell to knock out the rat with the gold chain wrapped around its body, which was also stunned by the flash.

After subconsciously completing the attack, Enterprise first confirmed Hugo's survival through the Admiral Network, then stepped forward to examine the rat and finally confirmed its identity.

"Because of the training I received before, the Stunning Spell I use is much stronger than the Stunning Spells used by ordinary wizards. If it were a real rat, it would definitely be dead after taking such a hit," Enterprise explained.

The magical effects used by wizards are closely related to the type of spell used and the intensity of magic power. The law of 'miracles through great force' also exists in the casting of many spells.

For example, the purpose of the Stunning Spell is originally to stun the target, but after the intensity of this spell reaches a certain value, it can cause fatal damage to the target. Similarly, the target's own physical fitness will also determine the killing effect of the spell.

For example, under normal circumstances, a Stunning Spell that can knock out an adult wizard would be fatal if it landed on a small animal like a chicken or a rat.

And a rat that wears a gold chain that can cause such a big commotion and can't be killed by a Stunning Spell is obviously not normal. Therefore, as a former Auror, it is reasonable for Enterprise to conduct a comprehensive study of this rat.

"Animagus!" Hermione exclaimed, then looked at the rat in Enterprise's hand. Unfortunately, one couldn't tell if there was anything wrong with the rat just by looking at it with the naked eye.

However, she believed that Enterprise wouldn't fabricate anything in this regard, so she followed everyone and directly abandoned the original plan, walked into the castle, and went straight to Headmaster Dumbledore's office.

"Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans," Enterprise said directly to the stone monster at the entrance of the headmaster's office. After hearing the password, the stone monster immediately jumped aside.

The wall behind split in two. Under Enterprise's lead, they walked up the moving stone staircase and arrived at the bright door.

There was a griffin door knocker on the door. Enterprise stepped forward, grabbed the door knocker, and knocked on the door. Then, after the door opened, she pulled the Granger siblings in together.

Unexpectedly, there were several people in the headmaster's office at this time. In addition to Headmaster Dumbledore, there was also Deputy Headmistress Professor McGonagall, a very serious-looking female official from the Ministry of Magic, and two Aurors in uniform.

After all, Professor Dumbledore is not just a headmaster, but also the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, so he naturally has countless tasks to do on weekdays.

"Has something happened?" Professor McGonagall asked with a puzzled look after seeing Enterprise walk in carrying a unconscious rat. "What's going on with this field mouse?"

"This is Ron's pet Scabbers, and it has lived in the Weasley family for more than ten years," Enterprise said, placing the unconscious field mouse on the table.

"However, an accident happened today that made me have to conduct a comprehensive examination of this rat, and the result was that it is an Animagus."

After speaking, Enterprise recounted her experience just now. At the same time, the Granger siblings, who had already discussed with each other through the Admiral Network, also added to the story.

However, the Granger siblings also knew that it was best to keep the story of that previous time travel permanently secret, so they only said that they inexplicably appeared in a place they didn't recognize, and then returned without warning after staying there for a day.

After narrating this story, Hermione took off the broken Time-Turner from her neck and placed it on the table, then stood back next to Hugo.

At the same time, Enterprise also took out the gold chain from her pocket and placed it next to the Time-Turner. "You guys are really lucky,"

an Auror next to her suddenly said, then waved his wand and removed some tiny plant seeds or leaves from the Granger siblings.

"Judging from these things, you should have gone to some summer before. Fortunately, you can remember the dangers of changing history and made corresponding preparations, plus the time of backtracking is not too long, so you can be safe and sound."

"Yes, Mr. Granger and Miss Granger, you two are very lucky," Professor McGonagall said after carefully examining the broken Time-Turner.

"Obviously, that gold chain should have been attached with powerful magic power before and induced the power of the Time-Turner, causing this serious accident. It's a pity that the specific situation can't be analyzed now."

"However, as an Animagus, what I need to say is that normal Animagus transformations will carry the clothes on the body together for transformation, and the only exception is certain powerful magical items."

"Because the magic power radiation released from powerful magical items will interfere with Animagus transformation, and I think this should be the reason why this illegal Animagus wrapped the gold chain around the rat's body."

Because Professor McGonagall explained this way, everyone subconsciously ignored Hugo's previous time travel, and then refocused their attention on the rat.

"Let me do it!" Professor McGonagall took out her wand and pointed it at the rat, then emitted a blue-white light. In the light, the originally unconscious Scabbers suddenly woke up and struggled frantically in the air.

Then, the rat rolled off the table onto the floor, and then in the blue-white light, it first stretched out its head, and then its limbs, as if in a fast-forward scene.

Finally, a dirty and balding man stood in the headmaster's office. His appearance was like that of a fat person who had lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, and the skin exposed by his clothes looked dirty.

His pointed nose and watery little eyes still had the characteristics of a rat, looking like the rat people in those games who like to say YES, YES.

"Oh, Peter, is that you?" Professor Dumbledore calmly adjusted his glasses, as if he often saw a rat suddenly turn into a person.

"Headmaster, is, is that you—I—" Peter tried hard to put on a calm image, but after being stared at by Dumbledore's blue eyes behind his lenses, the sound of his speech became smaller and smaller, and finally he closed his mouth.

"It's really been a long time, it's really been a long time!" Dumbledore didn't seem to notice Peter's embarrassment at all, but instead showed a very gentle smile on his face. However, his eyes were as cold as ice.

"I heard that you have been staying in the Weasley family as a rat for more than ten years. Can you tell me why you did this?"
