Normally, the animals I transform into never say anything to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop talking! Where’s Peter Pettigrew?” Harry demanded urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron closed his eyes, focusing through the connection with his Animagus for a moment, then said, “It’s with Peter Pettigrew at the castle gate—the main door is closed, and it can’t get in...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let’s go out, gather everyone, and let them all see that Peter Pettigrew is still alive,” Harry shouted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, that’s the way,” Ron agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that will make everyone see the Animagus form—how will we explain it? Allen’s secret will be exposed,” Hermione suddenly objected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does it matter now? Lives are at stake—Allen won’t blame us if he finds out,” Ron retorted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know lives are important—I’m saying we have a better solution. Let my Animagus form fly Peter Pettigrew into Hogwarts and bring him straight to us,” Hermione said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron and Harry had to admit it was a perfect solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione’s Animagus form told her it had already subdued the unconscious Professor Lupin; Hermione immediately ordered it to place Lupin somewhere safe, then fly to the castle gate, retrieve Ron’s Animagus form and Peter Pettigrew, and bring them to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they opened the windows; the moon had once again hidden shyly behind clouds, plunging the night sky into deep darkness, as they anxiously gazed toward the horizon...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they saw a shadow in the sky, flapping its wings fiercely as it flew toward them—beneath it hung something strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly opened all the windows to allow the Animagus form to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione’s Animagus form swept past the window, first tossing the object beneath it into the room, then diving straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The object hanging beneath Hermione’s Animagus form was Ron’s Animagus form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron’s Animagus form was clutching a fat rat in its mouth, the rat’s eyes filled with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Peter Pettigrew, the escaped rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and his two friends already had their wands drawn, immediately pointing them at the rat and casting the Stunning Spell and the Petrification Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, still uneasy, tore off a strip of bedsheet and bound the rat tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione and Ron seized the chance to recall their Animagus forms into their Spirit Balls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they finished than they heard the sound of someone unlocking the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dumbledore pushed the door open, “Professor McGonagall said Harry wanted to speak with me?” he said, with Minister Fudge following behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry immediately held up the bound rat before Professor Dumbledore, while Ron and Hermione kept their wands pointed warily at the rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir and madam, what are you doing with that filthy rat?” Minister Fudge said with a look of disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached into his robes and pulled out a handkerchief, pressing it to his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor, this is Peter Pettigrew—he’s an Animagus!” Harry said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dumbledore’s blue eyes, peering through his half-moon spectacles, fixed on the rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Children, you—” Minister Fudge began impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Professor Dumbledore interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether it’s true or not? Let’s test it,” Professor Dumbledore said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew his wand, pointed it at the motionless rat, and a blue-white light flashed from its tip—the next moment, the unconscious Peter Pettigrew appeared in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Fudge stumbled back in shock at the sudden appearance of Peter Pettigrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dumbledore watched Peter Pettigrew silently; for a moment, Harry felt that Professor Dumbledore was not at all surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dumbledore lifted the Stunning and Petrification Spells from Peter Pettigrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter Pettigrew awoke and immediately saw Professor Dumbledore—his face twisted with utter terror, his body trembling violently. He turned to flee, but the next instant he collapsed, his body going limp as if all his bones had melted into the floor...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew he could not escape under the watch of Albus Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Peter Pettigrew—the one who died twelve years ago, a recipient of the First Class Order of Merlin,” Professor Dumbledore said with absolute certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Fudge opened his mouth to speak, but Professor Dumbledore interrupted him again: “It seems we need an immediate night hearing. Black’s case clearly has hidden truths—we must confront him with Peter Pettigrew.” Professor Dumbledore looked at Fudge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Fudge hesitated, his gaze shifting between Peter Pettigrew and Dumbledore, weighing the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need more witnesses for this hearing. Let’s hold it in the Great Hall. Bring Sirius Black there,” Dumbledore continued, emphasizing the name “Black.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black...” Dumbledore’s words seemed to jolt Fudge—he quickly made his decision. “All right, I’ll summon my people...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minister Fudge glanced at the huddled Peter Pettigrew, then turned and walked out the door. At the threshold, he tossed the handkerchief he’d just used into the trash bin by the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and his two friends burst into cheers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we seem to have forgotten one person...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in the Forbidden Forest, atop a massive tree, a man slowly awoke—it was Professor Snape, returned to his normal form. He had cast a Levitation Charm on himself before falling, so he suffered no injury from the descent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Pokémon Potion’s power was still too strong—he had been overwhelmed by a violent electrical surge and lost consciousness mid-fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a blank expression, he stared at the moon, bright as a jade disc, oblivious to the aches in his body and the pain of his wounds—he lay motionless in the treetop, lost in thought for a long time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long after, a voice rose from the treetop: “What a disgusting feeling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(https:\u002F\u002F)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please remember the original publication URL: .
