Douglas knew from Snape's attack that he was just venting his anger and had no real intention of fighting him, otherwise his invisible sharp sword could not be blocked by the Shield Charm.

But the last words made him feel like a scumbag, coaxing one and then the other.

Then he took out the magic radar from his pocket and selected a mode.

There was a red dot on the radar that was flashing. Douglas zoomed in on the radar map and Dumbledore said:

"He's still at Hogwarts."

Looking at Snape who looked puzzled, Douglas explained:

"A few months ago, I made a kind of pet food for Peter. Although this food will make his body stronger and even increase his magic resistance to a certain extent, the special material I added to the pet food will also be absorbed by his body and enter his blood.

And this red dot is the signal emitted by Peter..."

Snape said coldly:

"So, you let him go on purpose?"

In fact, from the moment Peter escaped and everyone in the office reacted, Snape had already realized that there must be something fishy, ​​otherwise he would have chased him out by now.

In his eyes, Peter is his enemy, but Blake, who wasted Lily's trust and gave bad advice, is also the target of his revenge. It's just that Douglas protected him very well, which made him very annoyed.

Dumbledore said:

"It's us!"

Douglas shook his head and said:

"Strictly speaking, we didn't deliberately let him go. Everything depends on his ability. However, we concealed the most crucial information. So even if he was caught, as long as he wasn't kissed by the Dementors on the spot, he would have a chance to escape."

Chapter 251 The Interrupted Prophecy

Through the mirror, several people saw Percy stopping the people present.

"Regarding Professor Lupin's werewolf identity, I still hope that you can keep it a secret to avoid causing panic among other students."

Harry also said:

"Whether Professor Lupin is a werewolf or not is still debatable. Even if he is a werewolf, since he can become a professor at Hogwarts, it must have been with Professor Dumbledore's consent. He and Professor Holmes are still friends, and he hasn't hurt anyone in the past few months..."

George and Fred cried out:

"Whether Professor Lupin is a werewolf or not is not important to us.

But is this incident over? When will our rewards be distributed?"

Ron also laughed and said:

"I'm looking forward to seeing Malfoy's expression!"

The others were also attracted by the topic of George and Fred.

In the headmaster's office, Snape watched their discussion with a cold face, as if he wanted to record everything that was going on there.

Dumbledore smiled and said:

"Dawlish's T. exam results seem to have reached 'excellent'. However, even the best people have some minor flaws. It's obvious that Kingsley knows his teammates very well."

As soon as these words were spoken, Douglas and Snape instantly understood that Kingsley was Dumbledore's man.

Douglas just asked Percy to knock Peter out before the Aurors arrived, but not too hard, so that he would have a chance to wake up during the escort.

As long as Sirius didn't say it, almost no one knew that Dementors had little effect on Animagus. He more expected that Peter would enter Azkaban and use the advantage of Animagus to escape.

Dumbledore knew about this plan, but he had Kingsley assist him. However, Kingsley's assistance was excellent, and under the circumstances, his arrangement was not wrong. After all, it was Dawlish who was careless, not him.

Snape stared at the magic radar in Douglas's hand and asked:

"What's the next plan?"

Douglas put away the radar and said:

"Wait! Peter is wanted now and has nowhere to go, so he might go looking for his master. Of course, this is not up to him. As long as he is in the UK, I can find him..."

Snape roared disdainfully:

"You expect that piece of shit to find the Dark Lord? Tell me where he is!"

Looking at Snape's expression, Dumbledore suddenly understood why Douglas suddenly put away his magic radar.

Douglas shook his head, which annoyed Snape. He asked:

"Then why did you ask me to stay?"

Douglas was stunned for a moment and said:

"Well, actually I didn't ask you to stay, you just happened not to leave! Don't you need to go check on the Slytherin students?"

Snape's face turned pale. He glared at Douglas fiercely, then threw his robes away and left.

Watching the office door close, Dumbledore asked seriously:

"Can you really confirm that Peter will find Tom?"

Douglas shook his head slightly and said helplessly:

"Before today, I could still be sure, but Peter seemed to have misunderstood. He thought I could continue to hold this position because Voldemort had completely disappeared. As long as we find a chance to convince him that Voldemort is still alive, he should go and find it himself."

He took out the magic radar again, which showed that Peter had just left the Shrieking Shack. He guessed that Peter was worried about the existence of the Marauder's Map, which was why he fled so quickly.

In the Hogwarts Great Hall.

All the students who stayed on campus gathered here, and the kitchen also brought out lunch in advance. Everyone ate while discussing what had happened.

"Didn't the professors go to the Ministry of Magic?"

"Did something happen at the Ministry of Magic?"

"I just saw the Aurors, one of them is the Head of Auror Office."

"Could it be that Blake ran in?"

"Ahem, you'll know in a moment, but I can tell you that Blake was wrongly accused, and you'll never guess who the murderer is!"

Senior students stood around the auditorium, staring closely at the entrances and exits, as well as the windows above their heads.

The ghosts were assigned to patrol every corner of the castle, looking for a mouse with missing fingers.

Professor McGonagall stood on the podium and said with amplifying spell:

"Quiet! I'm going to make some announcements now that concern the safety of each of you, so listen carefully.

A dark wizard has sneaked into Hogwarts. He once used his wand to create an explosion, killing twelve Muggles and wrongly imprisoning one person in Azkaban. This person is extremely dangerous. Please take good care of your wands..."

She then briefly recounted the story of Peter Perum and Blake being wrongfully accused.

This caused an uproar among the students below.

The members of the Charon Detective Agency who were involved in this incident sat at the long tables of their respective colleges (except Slytherin) and narrated the whole story.

After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, Professor Trelawney, who was sitting in the faculty seat, suddenly sat upright in her chair, her eyes blank and her mouth open.

Professor Setima Victor of Arithmancy, who was sitting next to her, noticed this and quickly shouted to Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, who was at the end of the staff seat:

"Madam Pomfrey, please check on Sybil. What's wrong with her? Sybil?"

Her voice attracted the attention of all the faculty members.

Before they could comment, Professor Trelawney's eyes began to roll, and she said in a harsh voice:

"The Dark Lord lies alone, friendless, abandoned by his own men. His servant breaks free from the chains he has been bound to for twelve years and is driven to join his master. With his servant's help, the Dark Lord will return, more powerful than ever..."

Before she could finish, she was shaken awake by the crowd watching.

She raised her head and looked blankly at the people around her. Madam Pomfrey was studying her face carefully.

"Um, what's wrong with Madam Pomfrey? Sorry, maybe I spent too much time looking into the future last night, and I feel a little tired today..."

Everyone around frowned, and Madam Pomfrey asked:

"Sybil, don't you remember what you just said?"

Trelawney shook her head, then reached out to push the crowd aside, picked up the bottle of wine on the table, and said:

"You have blocked my third eye, making it difficult for me to see what the future will hold..."

When everyone heard her say this, they frowned in disdain and then dispersed.

In the following two hours, the Ministry of Magic sent more than 20 Aurors to conduct a carpet search of Hogwarts, but still found nothing.

Scrimgeour always believed that it was impossible for Peter to escape because there were Dementors guarding the outside. They even suspected that Peter had escaped into the Forbidden Forest and planned to send more people into the Forbidden Forest to search.

In the end, it was Douglas who secretly passed a note to Professor McGonagall, and then she led the Aurors to the passage under the Whomping Willow.

Everyone followed the passage to the Shrieking Shack and found fresh rat footprints. The Aurors then gave up and left Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall blew up the Shrieking Shack and the passage under the Whomping Willow, which had been built for more than 20 years, to prevent anyone from entering Hogwarts through this passage.

Chapter 252 You Are Not a Good Person

Perhaps because Fudge accepted the money, the Ministry of Magic acted relatively quickly this time.

Just as the Aurors were about to withdraw, an expedited edition of the Daily Prophet had already been distributed everywhere. It not only cleared Sirius of his grievances but also clarified that he was not a werewolf. At the same time, it issued a wanted notice for Peter Perum.

Not only that, when the wizarding world announced Peter's illegal Animagus form, the Muggle government also launched a rat-clearing campaign in Muggle society under the pretext of eradicating the plague, and described Peter's rat characteristics, emphasizing that he was the king of viruses.

Although the wanted poster did not say where Peter had been hiding as a rat all these years.

But Mrs. Weasley recognized Scabbers at the first sight, and was so frightened that she wrote to all the children immediately to inquire about their situation.

Then she carefully cleaned out all the rats in the burrow. She was worried that it would be troublesome if any of the rats in the nest were the offspring of Scabbers.

Snape pushed open the door of the headmaster's office again.

He glanced at Douglas, who was drinking tea and chatting with Dumbledore and observing the magic radar, then turned to Dumbledore expressionlessly and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Principal, I have something important to discuss with you. Please (sneer) leave."

Douglas slowly put away the magic radar, but had no intention of leaving on his own. It was mainly because the strange accent of Snape when he said the word "please" aroused the rebellious heart of the young professor.

Seeing Douglas's reaction, Snape couldn't help but raise his voice a few notches:

"Miscellaneous personnel..."

Dumbledore interrupted Snape with a light cough and asked:

"Severus, what's the important news?"

Snape looked at Douglas with a slight disdain on his lips, then looked at Dumbledore and said:

"It's about Trelawney..."

He stopped talking immediately after saying this. He believed that Dumbledore could understand what he meant. Although he was not present when Trelawney made the prophecy, the other professors did not take her weird words seriously.

But as someone who had overheard the prophecy before, after hearing about it from his colleague, he immediately realized that this was another true prophecy, so he couldn't wait to come to Dumbledore.

Douglas' eyes lit up when he heard his words, and he quickly asked:

"Did Professor Trelawney predict that Peter would find Voldemort?"

Dumbledore also looked at Snape sharply, and at the same time a trace of doubt arose in his heart. How did Douglas know that it must be a prophecy? After all, everyone has witnessed Trelawney's performance over the years.

Unless Trelawney had deceived Douglas into believing that she was a prophet, or Snape had told him

If he had not seen the other party make a prophecy in front of him with his own eyes, he would definitely think that the other party was a liar.

Snape's expression grew visibly colder, and his eyes looked sharply back and forth between Dumbledore and Douglas.

Dumbledore promised him that he would keep the matter secret. Since Douglas knew what Trelawney would predict, it must have been Dumbledore who told him.

So the three of them began to stare at each other, Douglas looked at Snape, Snape looked at the two of them, and Dumbledore also looked at the two of them.

Finally, Douglas was invited out by Dumbledore. Although he didn't know where Douglas got the information that Trelawney might actually make a prediction, he still chose to keep it a secret as to what he had promised Snape.

When Douglas returned to the office, he saw Lupin sitting there alone reading a book.

Douglas asked:

"Remus, where's Sirius?"

Lupin put down the book in his hand and said with a smile:

"I told him that you would arrange for Harry to meet him later and asked him to dress well and leave a good impression on Harry. He is now in London with Dobby."
