HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"Ah!" Ginny screamed in fright as she saw the person appearing on the ground.

"What is that!" Harry asked in horror.

"Is there really someone who would use an Animagus to stay in someone else's house and eat and drink for free?" Reina also questioned.

Fred covered his nose and said, "We have a big family."

George: "That's right, even pets are people."

On the other side, the pet's owner and former owner had lost their luster in their eyes, and looked doubtful about life, especially Ron, who slept with a mouse in his arms every day. He used to sleep with such a fat adult man every day!

"Molly!" Arthur stepped forward to check on the man, who was hiding on the ground. He said in a surprised tone, "I think you should come and take a look. This is not something we can solve."

Mrs. Weasley walked forward with her wand in hand. When she saw the face of the person on the ground, her eyes widened and she froze in place.

The children gathered around him, "Dad, what happened to Mom?"

"Who is he?" asked Harry.

"Peter Pettigrew," said Mr. Weasley slowly.

"Who is that?" someone asked.

"Peter Pettigrew, winner of the Order of Merlin, First Class, was brutally murdered by Sirius Black after the Potters incident in 1981. Black was convicted for the crime, and he - was honored as - a hero." Reina explained coldly. She glanced at Harry, who seemed to be calm.

Fred was surprised and asked, "Order of Merlin, First Class?"

George: "Why did the hero appear in our house and live there for ten years?"

"So this is not something we can solve. Molly, take the children into the house and notify Dumbledore about this." Arthur stood up.

Molly drove several children back into the house, but they all peeked through the windows, after all, it was a big party.

"So what's going on, and why did they call Dumbledore over?" asked Harry.

"Harry, do you know what happened to your parents?" Percy asked him.

"I don't know. No one told me. I only know that Voldemort did it." Harry shook his head.

"The newspapers at that time said that Black was the secret keeper of the Potter residence. It was he who leaked your parents' address and attracted the mysterious man. Then Peddlecock discovered his ugly deeds and hunted him down, but Black blew up an entire street in order to escape. All the Muggles on that street died, and Peddlecock also died as a result. Black was sent directly to Azkaban." Rena said to Harry.

Fred: "But now, that great hero has lived in our house for ten years. Ten years!"

George: "That's right, why would he do this? Is he afraid of retaliation?"

Ron: "But wasn't that Black sent to Azkaban?"

Ginny added: "He still has a medal. Why should he be afraid of a man in prison?"

Reina: "Unless there is something hidden that has not been discovered, Blake was not tried back then."

After Lena pointed out the key point, she watched the children immediately begin to discuss their own opinions one after another. Yes, the Weasley children did not disappoint, but Harry on the side remained silent.

There was no way, he would eventually know about this, it would come to this, no matter what - after all, they were his parents.

It's just that Sirius can't be made to owe anyone a favor this time. However, this is the only way to make it seem most natural, and everything is under control -

"Dumbledore is here! He brought a lot of people with him." Ron wiped the window. "McGonagall, Snape, and Hagrid are all here."

"That's Minister Fudge from the Ministry of Magic!" Percy said excitedly.

Fred: “This is really not an easy thing to do.”

George: “It’s not easy.”

A group of people were talking about something on the grass, and then they all surrounded the man on the ground with wands in their hands. Mr. Weasley cast a spell, and Pettigrew woke up. Then he saw him kneeling on the ground with his hands clasped together and began to cry bitterly.

Snape in black clothes approached Pettigrew with something in his hand, grabbed his head roughly and poured the thing into his mouth, then he stopped and stared blankly at something. Dumbledore seemed to be talking to him, McGonagall was holding Snape's hand, and the others were pointing their wands at Pettigrew on the ground.

"So boring, I have no idea what they are talking about!"

"It's too far away, I could only see the mouth moving, bulabula." The twins complained.

"What did Snape just do?" Ron asked.

“Ahem—” Reina coughed twice.

"Uh… Professor Snape."

Damn, forgot she was a Slytherin, Ron thought.

"Veritaserum, I guess." Fred shook his head.

George: "He's a potion professor who can make people speak out everything honestly."

"They're coming!"

Everyone quickly shrank back.

The door opened and Mrs. Weasley walked in.

"Harry, Lena, come here." She waved.

Reina and Harry walked out. A group of adults were standing there, and two Aurors were carrying the unconscious Pettigrew.

"Children, they are going to ask you a few questions. Don't worry, just answer truthfully, okay?" Mrs. Weasley said softly, not paying attention to the little Weasleys who were blatantly eavesdropping behind her.

The two nodded.

"I heard that it was you two who discovered the abnormality. So, who discovered this mouse first?" Fudge walked up to them and asked.

"It's me, sir." Lena looked at him, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to discuss business."

"Talking about business? You? This joke is not funny at all." Fudge said with disdain.

"Why should I lie in front of so many people?" Lena asked him back.

"She is from Talros," Dumbledore reminded Fudge.

"Toll... All right. Let's just assume you are right." Fudge continued calmly, "Who are you doing business with?"

"Do I even need to ask? Mr. Weasley, of course."

"But I remember Mr. Weasley working for the Ministry."

“It’s just a side job.”

"What side job? Why did you choose him?"

"This is a commercial secret. Please forgive me for not being able to discuss it in detail."

Fudge turned to look at Arthur, who nodded. "It's like this, confidential, confidential. You also know our family's financial situation, so just consider it as I'm lucky."

"Okay, why do you think this rat is suspicious?" Fudge continued.

"No mouse normally lives this long. Harry knows that mice only live for a year or two, and I just think it's very unusual."

"How do you know how long a mouse can live?"

“It’s a matter of common sense.”

"So, Harry Potter." Fudge turned to look at Harry, "Why didn't you notice when you were with Ron Weasley before?"

"I didn't pay much attention to it before. Ron always said that Scabbers was very old, and I didn't know much about the wizarding world, so I didn't pay attention to his age. It wasn't until Lena mentioned it today that I knew that Scabbers was an ordinary mouse with an unusually long life." Harry replied.

"Look, we were all talking about that rat. It was Dad who thought of Animagus and became suspicious. We can all testify to that!"
