Hogwarts lazy snake

Scabbers' little eyes rolled around, and he keenly noticed that everyone's attention was focused on Black and Lupin.

He began to move his body carefully, slowly crawling out from the edge of Ron's pocket.

Just when it was about to successfully jump to the ground, thinking it could escape from this dangerous situation quietly.

Ron noticed a slight movement in his pocket.

Ron subconsciously lowered his head and saw Scabbers jumping out of his pocket. He reacted very quickly and reached out without thinking and caught Scabbers steadily.

"Hey, Scabbers! Why are you so naughty all of a sudden?"

Ron said softly. At first, he simply thought that Scabbers was just frightened by the chaotic and tense atmosphere around him, so he reached out his hand and wanted to stroke it gently as usual to calm it down.

However, what Ron did not expect was that Banban could not calm down at all. It struggled violently in Ron's palm, making squeaking sounds, trying its best to break free from Ron's control.

Ron had a bad feeling when he saw this, but he still didn't want Scabbers to escape, so he quickly grabbed Scabbers' tail and tried to continue to calm its emotions that were out of control due to fear.

At the same time, he also prevented it from escaping, muttering: "Don't be afraid, Banban, I'm here, nothing will happen to me."

When Sirius saw the mouse, anger instantly ignited in his eyes. He struggled desperately to break free from the binding spell on his body, shouting:

"That's it! Peter, you are the traitor who killed James and Lily. I finally caught you! Lupin, hurry up! Catch the traitor!"

His voice became a little hoarse because of anger, and the veins on his neck were bulging, which showed that he was extremely excited at the moment.

As Sirius shouted, everyone's eyes turned to the mouse in Ron's hand. Ron showed a puzzled look on his face: "What's going on? What happened to Scabbers?"

"Ah! Scabbers, what are you doing?!"

At this moment, Ron was bitten by Scabbers, and the hand that was holding Scabbers' tail loosened in pain.

After falling to the ground, Banban immediately ran into the woods.

When Lupin saw Ron's mouse, he instantly recognized it as Peter Pettigrew's Animagus form. He then remembered what Black had said in the house before and had already believed it halfway.

He immediately took out his wand and wanted to cast a spell on the fleeing mouse, but Scabbers was too agile and hid here and there at everyone's feet. Lupin was afraid of hurting Ron and the others by mistake, so he did not dare to cast the spell rashly.

"Peter Petillo!"

After finally waiting for Scabbers to escape from the crowd, Lupin immediately cast a binding spell, shouting Pettigrew's name loudly. However, Scabbers turned extremely agilely, causing the binding spell to hit the lawn next to him directly, raising only a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Ron was extremely anxious. Without saying a word, he immediately chased after him, shouting, "This is my Scabbers, not Pettigrew, not Peter!"

His face flushed, his eyes were full of anxiety, and his steps became more and more hurried, as if this mouse was his most important treasure at the moment, and he would not let it be taken away by others no matter what.

Horn quickly turned to Hermione and said, "Hermione, have you learned the wind magic circle?"

When Hermione heard Horn's words, she understood what he meant and hurriedly opened the magic book in her hand. Her slender fingers quickly turned the pages and soon turned to one of them. Then she immediately began to recite the spell: "Wind spirit, obey my command... Help me to bind the mouse Scabbers."

As Hermione chanted, the air around them seemed to begin to flow, with a faint whistling sound of wind. The power of the magic circle was gradually gathering, trying to prevent Banban from escaping.

Sirius struggled desperately, trying to break free from the binding spell on his body, shouting: "Catch it! Can't let Peter get away! Snape, let him go!"

His voice became hoarse with anxiety, his forehead was covered with sweat, his hair was messy, and the hatred for the traitor in his heart made him want to rush forward desperately.

Snape stood aside coldly, holding the magic wand tightly in his hand. His eyes were cold and sharp. He stared at the direction where the mouse fled, and then waved his magic wand: "Petrify all!"

Banban desperately fled towards the woods. Its small body quickly shuttled through the grass, using every available obstacle to avoid the pursuit from behind.

Its heartbeat accelerated rapidly and its heart was filled with fear, knowing that if it was caught, severe punishment would await it.

But at this moment, a gunshot was heard, and then a small hole was blown out on the ground in front of Banban, and he hurriedly tried to jump over it.

However, after leaping, he did not fall down. Instead, he seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand in mid-air. Then he was hit by a magic and became stiff in the air and unable to move.

Horn saw Ron looking at him, loosened his grip, turned the gun one by one, blew away the gun smoke, and smiled at Ron: "No need to thank me, we are classmates!"

Ron was stunned at first. He had never expected Horn to suddenly stop Banban from escaping in this way. There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes, but soon, this emotion was replaced by worry about Banban.

Then Ron quickly ran to Banban and held Banban, who was floating in the air, in his arms.

Sirius struggled even more violently, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and anger:

"Hand Peter over to me now! I want to ask him why! Why did he find out the location of James and Lily!"

Sirius' voice became a little hoarse because of anger, and his eyes were burning with flames of hatred. He wished he could rush up and tear Peter Pettigrew into pieces immediately to avenge James and Lily.

Lupin stepped forward, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and relief: "Finally caught him. Ron, leave Peter to me."

Ron turned away and said, "This is my Scabbers. His name is Scabbers, not Peter."

Ron thought that Mr. Lupin wanted his Scabbers, and he was also very curious because the man just now seemed to know Lupin, so he couldn't help but become alert.

"Ron, listen to me."

Lupin tried to make his voice sound gentle, even though he was very excited inside:

"This mouse is not an ordinary mouse. It is Pettigrew, Peter Pettigrew! I didn't expect that he would transform into an Animagus and lurk around you for so long."

Lupin approached Ron slowly.

"I suspect he was the traitor who betrayed James and Lily. Now I want to ask him whether he was the one who informed on them."

"If so, we must hand him over to the Ministry of Magic and let him receive the punishment he deserves. At the same time, Black's innocence must be cleared."

There was a hint of fatigue and pain in Lupin's eyes, because he also thought that the other party had died in the battle with the Death Eaters.

However, the other party did not die. Instead, he lived in the form of an Animagus for so many years without appearing. This made him more convinced that what Blake said might be true, which made him feel extremely disappointed and angry.
