Chapter 274: A Twist in the Plot
"I feel my Transformed Beast has suddenly established a link with me!" Hermione suddenly said.
"Earlier, I ordered it to control Professor Lupin, and then it flew far away and disconnected from me..." Hermione explained. "Now it seems it has returned to a place not far from me."
"Perhaps we can have it fly to the place where Black is imprisoned, rescue him, and then have it carry Black away." Harry's eyes lit up as he thought of a reliable plan.
At this moment, Ron suddenly spoke up as well, "I have suddenly established a connection with my Transformed Beast too..."
The next moment, Ron became excited. "My Transformed Beast told me through the connection that it has caught Peter Pettigrew!"
Harry and Hermione wore expressions of disbelief; they could not believe things had turned around so suddenly.
"The last command I gave it was to catch Peter Pettigrew; I never expected it to actually succeed." Ron, so excited he was incoherent, said, "The Transformed Beast created by Allen's Transfiguration is truly magical; it can actively communicate with me through our connection. You must know that the animals I usually transfigure do not actively speak to me."
"Stop talking nonsense! Where is Peter Pettigrew?" Harry said urgently.
Ron closed his eyes and communicated with his Transformed Beast through the connection for a while, then said, "It and Peter Pettigrew are at the castle gate. The main gate is closed, and it cannot get in..."
"Then let us go out, gather everyone, and let everyone see that Peter Pettigrew is still alive." Harry immediately shouted.
"Yes, let's do exactly that." Ron also expressed his agreement.
"But doing so will also let everyone see the Transformed Beast. How will we explain it then? Allen's secret will be exposed because of this." Hermione suddenly raised an objection.
"What time is it now? Human life is paramount. Even if Allen knows, he won't blame us." Ron immediately refuted.
Harry also silently nodded his head.
"I know human life is paramount. What I mean is we have a better way to handle this, such as having my Transformed Beast carry Peter Pettigrew flying into Hogwarts and delivering him directly to us." Hermione said.
Ron and Harry had to admit this was a perfect idea that achieved both goals.
Hermione's Transformed Beast told her that it had already controlled the unconscious Professor Lupin. Hermione immediately ordered it to place Professor Lupin in a safe location, then go to the castle gate to bring Ron's Transformed Beast and Peter Pettigrew flying into Hogwarts to find her.
Then they opened the windows. The moon, at this moment, shyly hid behind the clouds again, and the night sky became very dim. They gazed nervously at the horizon...
Finally, they saw a shadow in the sky flapping its wings with effort, flying towards them. Underneath it, there seemed to be a strange object dangling.
They quickly opened all the windows to allow the Transformed Beast to fly in.
Hermione's Transformed Beast swept past the windows, first using its vine whip to throw the object dangling beneath it inside, and then it rushed in directly itself.
The object dangling beneath Hermione's Transformed Beast was Ron's Transformed Beast.
Ron's Transformed Beast had a fat old rat in its mouth, and that fat old rat was showing a look of terror in its eyes.
That was indeed the escaped Peter Pettigrew.
The three of Harry already had their wands in hand and directly cast a Stunning Spell and a Petrification Spell on the rat's chest.
Harry, still very uneasy, tore off a strip of bedsheet and tied the rat up tightly.
Hermione and Ron also took the opportunity to recall their Transformed Beasts into their Poké Balls.
And just as they finished all this, they heard the sound of someone opening the door at the entrance.
Then Professor Dumbledore pushed the door open and entered. "Professor McGonagall said you wanted to talk to me, Harry?" Dumbledore said. Behind him was Minister Fudge.
Harry immediately held the tightly bound rat up before Professor Dumbledore's eyes, while Ron and Hermione held their wands pointing alertly at the rat.
"Mr. and Ms., what are you doing holding this dirty rat?" Minister Fudge looked at the rat with a look of disgust.
He reached into his clothes, took out a handkerchief, and covered his nose.
"Professor, this is Peter Pettigrew; he is an Animagus!" Harry said quickly.
Dumbledore's blue eyes, through his half-moon glasses, gazed at the rat.
"Children, you..." Minister Fudge said somewhat impatiently.
But he was interrupted by Professor Dumbledore.
"Whether it is or not, we will know by trying." Professor Dumbledore said lightly.
He drew his own wand, pointed it at the motionless rat, and the tip of his wand emitted a blue-white light. The next moment, the unconscious Peter Pettigrew appeared in the room.
Minister Fudge was startled by the suddenly appearing Peter Pettigrew and took a step back.
Professor Dumbledore quietly looked at Peter Pettigrew. For a moment, Harry felt that Professor Dumbledore was not surprised at all.
Professor Dumbledore removed the Stunning Spell and the Petrification Spell from Peter Pettigrew.
After Peter Pettigrew woke up, he immediately saw Professor Dumbledore. A look of extreme fear appeared on his face. His body trembled violently. He turned around and wanted to escape, but the next moment he despondently gave up this action, and his whole body collapsed onto the floor like it had no bones...
He knew he could not escape under the nose of Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the century...
"He is Peter Pettigrew, the recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class, who has been dead for twelve years." Professor Dumbledore said in a very affirmative tone.
Minister Fudge wanted to say something, but Professor Dumbledore interrupted him again. "It seems we need to conduct an interrogation through the night. The matter of Black indeed seems to have other hidden circumstances. We need to let him confront Peter Pettigrew." Professor Dumbledore looked at Fudge and said.
Minister Fudge hesitated. His gaze wandered between Peter Pettigrew and Dumbledore, as if weighing the pros and cons.
"We also need more people to witness this interrogation. How about in the Great Hall? You take Sirius Black there." Dumbledore continued speaking. When he said "Black," he emphasized the word.
"Black..." Dumbledore's words seemed to remind Fudge. He quickly made a decision. "Alright, I will go gather my people..."
Minister Fudge glanced at the huddled Peter Pettigrew, turned around, and walked out the door. When he reached the doorway, he threw the handkerchief he had just used into the trash can at the entrance.
The three of Harry immediately cheered...
However, it seems we have forgotten one person...
Deep in the Forbidden Forest, on a large tree, a person slowly woke up. It was Professor Snape, restored to his normal form. When he fell, he cast a Levitation Charm on himself and was not injured by the subsequent fall.
However, the power of the Pokémon Potion was still too great. After a violent discharge of electricity, he fainted during the fall.
He looked expressionlessly at the moon in the sky, which was like a jade plate, unaware of the soreness in his body and the pain of his wounds. He lay on the tree canopy, staring blankly for a long time...
After a long while, a sentence suddenly sounded from the tree canopy: "What a disgusting feeling!"
