Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Hermione had mentioned once before that she suspected Scabbers was an Animagus, but Harry hadn't thought much of it at the time.

Now Hermione has brought it up again, could it be that she has found some new clues?

Chapter 235 Hedwig Becomes a Beautiful Fairy

Harry closed the book thinking about it. He planned to read it tomorrow.

During dinner, Harry asked Hermione about the situation without Ron's knowledge.

Hermione whispered:

"I suspect Scabbers could be an Animagus, or even Peter Pellum."

Harry said doubtfully:

"How is that possible? Peter was already killed by Blake, leaving only a stump."

Hermione shrugged and said:

“So, no one knows if Peter is really dead or not.

Actually, I didn't quite believe this possibility at first, but that day I saw George and Fred asking Professor Lupin about the Human Form Restoration Spell, and after they saw me, they lowered their voices.

So I suspect they must have discovered something, what is Scabbers’ most obvious feature…”

Harry's eyes widened:

"Missing a finger?"

Hermione nodded.

"As for the details about Animagus, I specifically looked it up in Advanced Transfiguration.

I suspect that the specks of Peter Perrum's name on the map weren't the professor's doing at all, but rather that it can see through Animagus transformations."

Harry was stunned for a moment and asked stupidly:

"But isn't Peter a hero? Why did he turn into a mouse..."

Hermione took a deep breath and said dissatisfiedly:

"How should I know? Don't forget that you are the president of the detective agency.

And don’t let Ron know about this for now…”

At this moment, Ron's head suddenly squeezed in between the two heads.

"What are you two whispering about? Don't let me know."

Hermione rolled her eyes at him: "Don't let you know anything."

After she finished speaking, she glared at Harry.

Just when Ron was about to get to the bottom of it.

George and Fred suddenly came over, one standing to the side, and put his arm around Ron's shoulders.

“We have a good business!”

"Business can only be discussed with my brother!"

Ron said disdainfully:

"You know I'm your brother, and you saved so much money and bought so many good things, but you're not willing to share any of it with me."

Harry looked up at the ceiling in embarrassment when he heard Ron mention the twins' money.

Hermione looked at Harry and said doubtfully:

"The professor didn't ask them to give you that map, did you buy it?"

Harry coughed awkwardly.

"Good things always come at a price... Why can't Ron know?"

Hermione said unhappily:

"What would you think if I told you that Hedwig is actually an old man?"

Hedwig's owl was Harry's first gift when he entered the wizarding world and also his good friend. The thought that it might be an old man made Harry start to get goose bumps all over his body.

"Hedwig is female!"

Harry made a final stand.

Hermione sneered and said:

"Are you fantasizing about Hedwig turning into a beautiful elf and falling in love with you, just like what's written in the professor? Dirty thoughts, huh!"

After saying that, Hermione left immediately.

Harry said disdainfully from behind:

"Don't you imagine that Crookshanks is a handsome guy?"

At this moment, a faint voice came from behind Harry.

"So, Harry, do you really wish Hedwig was an owlet?"

Harry turned around quickly:

"Ginny!"

When Harry came back from the detention room exhausted at night, he saw Hermione and Ron sitting alone on the east side of the common room and one sitting on the west side of the room.

He quickly walked to Ron's side and asked doubtfully:

"Aren't you going to refer to Hermione's homework? Why are you sitting so far away?"

Ron glanced at Hermione and said glumly:

"Who knows what's wrong with her? I told her that George and Fred borrowed Scabbers and his cage for a few days with some prank props and snacks..."

Harry raised his head and looked at Ron in surprise, then hurriedly interrupted him and asked:

"What! You gave Scabbers to George..."

Ron was also shocked by Harry's reaction. He stood up excitedly and was about to say something.

Then Hermione was seen walking towards George and Fred who had just entered the common room, and dragging them to a corner.

Ron said dissatisfiedly:

"She wouldn't want to take Banban back, would she?"

When Harry saw this, he quickly followed.

Hermione stared at the two of them and said directly:

"Scabbers, Peter Perum, an Animagus."

George and Fred looked at each other and said in admiration:

"I can't hide it from you!"

Harry came over and said:

"So you learned the human form restoration spell?"

George shrugged and said:

"not yet."

“We’re too busy!”

Ron finally came over and asked doubtfully:

"What's the human form restoration spell?"

Fred chuckled and said:

"My silly brother doesn't know anything yet."

George said in a very sad tone:

"Aren't you good friends? Why doesn't he know anything?"

"Mr. President, we discovered this first."

Ron heard what George and the others said, and said angrily to Hermione and Harry:

"What exactly are you hiding from me?"

George and Fred winked at the three of them, then quickly slipped away.

Hermione sighed, looked at Harry and said:

"Say it!"

......

After the two of them talked for a while, Ron sat there stupidly.

Then he reacted:

"Just based on the name on the map, the fact that Scabbers is missing a finger, and the fact that he lived a certain amount of time, you think it could be Peter Pellum?"

Hermione nodded and said:

"If we follow this line of reasoning, a lot of things actually make sense. Why did the professor suddenly send you pet food and a cage? And the pet food can also make Banban fall into a deep sleep. This means that the professor discovered Banban's abnormality a long time ago."

Harry on the side also nodded and said:

"I suspect Black's target may never have been me. Although he is Voldemort's lackey, there is no direct hatred between him and me.

On the contrary, Peter Perum was the one who caused him to be caught. Didn't my cousin say before that the pet food could make Scabbers stronger without him even noticing? And he was worried that Scabbers would be caught by Blake, so he thoughtfully gave him a magic cage, which would also protect Peter well.

Hermione frowned slightly. She felt that what Harry said sounded strange.

Ron was also a little confused, then he shook his head and said:

"According to your reasoning, I have been holding an old man for several years?"

After saying this, he suddenly felt a little nauseous. Although he didn't quite believe it in his heart, the affirmative tone of the two people made him a little shaken.

Hermione said comfortingly:

"Actually, Percy held it for several years, so it won't be hard for you to think of it that way."

Chapter 236 The Forgotten Photo Album

In fact, Harry still had some disbelief in his heart. He didn't understand how such a great hero, Animagus, could be in the form of a mouse.

And why are all the friends my father makes so weird, werewolves, rats...

Ron still refused to believe it and said:

"It still doesn't make sense. How could a hero who caught Blake turn into a rat and stay in my house for over a decade? That doesn't make sense."

Also, since you and George all suspected that the other person was Peter, why didn't you just ask Scabbers instead of trying to find a spell to turn him back into a human? "

Hermione sighed.

"Actually, I tried it privately, but the professor's medicine was too strong. Scabbers was sleeping the whole time and I couldn't wake him up no matter what I did."

Harry spread his hands helplessly and said:

"It's useless to say anything now. We can only wait and see if the two of them can turn Banban back into human form. If they can't, it means all our guesses are wrong."

Hermione also nodded and said:

"All we can confirm now is that Black might be a werewolf. The Ministry of Magic seems to be searching for werewolves everywhere lately, which means our speculation is correct."

Ron suddenly asked with some concern:

"In the process of regaining his human form, if Scabbers turns out not to be Peter, George and the others won't kill him, right?"

Hermione said bluntly:

"Why didn't you think of this problem when you made the exchange with them?

Oh, I forgot to tell you, if Scabbers is really Peter, then they will be recorded as the biggest contributor in the detective agency's credit book, and they will also get the most when the money is divided, humph!"

Ron said dissatisfiedly:
