Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 260 Peter Pettigrew, the Murderer

Chapter 261 Peter Pettigrew, the Murderer

The once peaceful scene was completely disrupted by the escaped Dementors. Fudge shouted something as soon as he got into the carriage, but it was no use; the Dementors didn't listen to him at all.

At the same time, Celen found an opportunity, first breaking Peter Pettigrew's binding spell, and then forcefully throwing a wand at him.

"Peter! Your master is waiting for you!"

Things happened so fast that Peter Pettigrew had no time to react. His body instinctively grabbed the wand and pressed it against his forehead.

Before the Auror's curse could strike, he successfully transformed himself into a mouse and darted into the nearby bushes.

"Peter Pettigrew has run away! Go after him!"

In the midst of the chaos, Siron suddenly heard a familiar voice. Turning his head, he saw Harry and Hermione bending over and rushing into the bushes.

I hadn't seen them before, I didn't expect them to be waiting here.

But now is not the time to think about these things. He must leave before Dumbledore and the Aurors realize what's happening. Otherwise, once any of the professors or Aurors come to their senses, he might not be able to leave.

Under the cover of the Dementors, Siron first cast a levitation spell on the hood, then quickly transformed himself into a cat. The black hood flew continuously into the sky, attracting everyone's attention. No one noticed that a black cat had just emerged when Wen quickly ran out of the arena.

Xilun chased after Banban in the direction she had fled.

"Great, Crookshanks, Tom, you're here to help—oh, let go, that mouse can't be eaten!"

Harry's shouts came from ahead, which pointed Siren in the right direction, and it immediately ran over.

He had arrived at the side of the castle. Sometime later, the voices of the Dementors and Aurors had disappeared, and the bushes had become much thinner.

Further ahead was the entrance to the Astronomy Tower, where Harry and Hermione stood, nervously waving to the two cats.

"No, Crookshanks, please don't eat it!" Hermione licked her lips nervously. "This guy needs to be put on trial. Only then can Sirius Black be exonerated. Please don't eat it."

"If you're willing to give me the mouse, I'll give you a whole fresh fish," Harry tried to negotiate with it.

The two cats, which had been running, had stopped moving, which gave him hope.

"Give it to me," Harry said slowly, reaching out his hand towards the mouse pinned to the ground.

However, at this crucial moment, Xilun appeared.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tom and Crookshank turned and ran. Harry lunged forward and fell to the ground, wincing in pain.

But he couldn't care less about that now. He scrambled to his feet and shouted, "Quick, Hermione, after them!"

This time, Xiren didn't follow them. Instead, he turned a corner and came to the giant oak tree in the Forbidden Forest, where he waited quietly.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Tom and Crookshan shook off the two annoying wizards and came running over one after the other.

Moreover, Tom had a dying mouse hooked on his front paw; it was none other than Peter Pettigrew.

Tom's claws had pierced its body, right in the chest, where its heart was.

Right now, he's a rat, so it's not a big deal, but as soon as he turns back, that claw can pierce his heart in an instant.

This is also why Banban didn't resist; it wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't.

"Well done, Tom Crookshank," said Siron, walking over to Peter Pettigrew and looking him up and down, especially at the four toes on his front paws.

It is indeed Scabbers, and also Peter Pettigrew.

Who would have thought that an unremarkable, even somewhat ugly, domestic mouse was actually a wizard in disguise?

Xilun shook his head and continued to stare at the beady black eyes, where something seemed to be flowing within the yellow eye.

The mouse suddenly let out a piercing screech, but the sound disappeared the next second, and it lay there motionless.

Peter Pettigrew is dead, in some place no one knows.

Siren had been planning this for a long time. In order to delay Voldemort's return and give himself time to expand his wand business to other countries, Peter Pettigrew had to die.

Siren couldn't let him leave and give him the opportunity to help Voldemort. If Peter Pettigrew died, and no one was there to help Voldemort, even if he were to be resurrected, things would become much more complicated.

At least the condition of "voluntarily offering the flesh of servants" was not so easy for Voldemort to fulfill - after all, his fanatics were all in Azkaban.

Although some Death Eaters did escape, it's hard to say whether they were truly willing to sacrifice an arm to resurrect their master.

Even Peter Pettigrew was unwilling, but he had nowhere else to go, so he could only place all his hopes on Voldemort.

But it's not needed now.

Sirius looked at Peter Pettigrew lying on the ground. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he had only been able to delay it until now because of the horned beast and Sirius Black.

This time, Peter Pettigrew was rescued by a mysterious wizard in front of everyone, and he didn't believe Fudge could find any more flimsy excuses.

Another discovery this time was related to the basilisk's eyes.

After nearly a year of adaptation and learning, Xilun is now able to use that eye very skillfully.

When he looked at Peter Pettigrew just now, he was actually prepared to have all his magic drained, just like when he looked at Sirius Black last time.

But no, and his magic power was almost completely depleted, as if he had just killed a mouse.

"Could there be a mistake?"

"No, there shouldn't be." Xilun shook his head.

Animagus knows the other Animagus best, so that mouse must have been Peter Pettigrew, there's no doubt about that.

Therefore, it seems that when the Serpent Eyes target the Animagus, they only recognize it as their prey—if the animal dies, the wizard dies too.

This discovery doesn't seem to be of much use. First of all, the Ministry of Magic doesn't have that many Animagus, and the few that exist have all been encountered.

Furthermore, Animagus can only transform into ordinary animals, which have limited combat power. Besides using [Snake Eyes], there are countless other ways to kill them.

"Well, at least it's a discovery that's a bit different."

Siren transformed himself back and pointed his wand at the ground.

"Separate left and right!"

A rumbling sound came from the ground, and a thin crack appeared.

"Tom!" Siren called out.

Tom swept his tail, sending the mouse into the crack. The next second, even Xilun's magic couldn't hold on any longer, and the ground suddenly closed up.
