Chapter 220 Not all mice are called Jerry (page 12)
When the Sorting Hat confirmed the magic wave and then followed it to find his hiding place, the word "danger" on Peter Pettigrew's head almost turned into reality. He has felt great crisis and great terror.
"run!"
Pettigrew made his decision immediately.
His extreme fear even caused him to ignore Tom Riddle's bewitchment, directly abandon the Horcrux diary and transform into a mouse.
"The mouse pulls the wooden wedge" or something like that is just a witticism. In a life-or-death situation, the mouse would not care about it.
This made Tom Riddle very angry.
But he can't "say" anything yet, because any rash action he makes now may become a draw for the attention of an old man with a white beard.
"This is just a tactical hibernation."
Comforting himself in his heart, Tom honestly played the role of an ordinary black leather diary. Of course, unlike Peter Pettigrew's case, he definitely didn't do it out of fear.
Well, absolutely!
Let’s just believe it.
Because now everyone's attention is on Peter Pettigrew.
(Peter: Family, who knows? I am just a substitute for this diary. I only helped it release several flying spells, but I just almost killed several young wizards in front of Dumbledore. )
Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard in history, a team of elite Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, Professor McGonagall who is about to go berserk, and a chosen time traveler who is familiar with the "chainsaw-bolter dialectic"...
Invariably, they all joined in the rat-catching operation.
"Apparition is prohibited here."
Dumbledore waved the Elder Wand and issued an order as the Headmaster of Hogwarts.
In an instant, the power of the most powerful magic castle in the real world spread over, including the Quidditch pitch within the scope of the anti-Apparition curse.
However, this also resulted in Bourne having to stop the transmission as soon as he started.
"Can you tell me what you want to do in advance?" After a small beep, Bourne immediately raised his hand to use another magic spell.
"Flying broomstick~Come here!"
("Firebolt~ coming!")
Coincidentally, he and his dean came up with something, except that Bourne summoned the broom customized by his grandfather Horace, while Professor McGonagall summoned Harry's Firebolt that was still on the field.
"Because the seekers of both teams were injured and left the field, the game was temporarily suspended. All players immediately landed in the audience seats. The prefects of each college asked the students of your respective colleges to stay in the stands and not move, waiting for the deans of each college. subsequent arrangements."
As the standing principal of Hogwarts, after taking off, Professor McGonagall used the "Loud Voice Curse" to give instructions to all the young wizards in the room.
Bourne became the only little wizard circling on a broomstick in the entire arena. He was looking for Peter Pettigrew with eyes sharper than an eagle.
As for Kingsley and his team members, this group of Aurors who can rush and fight were actually the first people to rush into the Slytherin team's locker room.
"Peter Pettigrew! You have the right to remain silent. But you must know that every word you say at this time may become evidence against you in the Wizengamot court, so...hey, where are the people? ?”
Just like the Muggle police in the UK, when chasing a target, the Aurors must shout out this declaration in advance.
Of course, this traditional style is now only followed by Kingsley and the relatively disciplined Auror team he leads.
Some of the other Auror teams have personally experienced Voldemort's raging period, and some have received training under the previous Auror mentor "Mad Eye" Moody, so they generally don't abide by this rule.
When dealing with dark wizards, they generally don't use witchcraft. They just take out their wands when they meet and use "empty the magazine" to output magic spells.
However, perhaps because of the consideration that this situation might be exposed in front of young wizards, Director Scrimgeour of the Auror Office sent the Kingsley team to Hogwarts for the sake of the image of the Ministry of Magic and the Auror Department.
However, Kingsley shouted the declaration, but he did not see the pudgy figure he expected in the locker room.
"Attention Delix, block the back door of the Slytherin locker room!" He quickly cast a spell and used the "intercom gold coin" to give instructions to the team members.
At the same time, Delis, who was climbing the scaffolding on the outside of the court, also felt a faint warmth in the parts of his clothes pockets close to his body.
He landed on a hidden wooden platform with his feet, pointed the wand at the wall of the court in front of him with one hand, and took out the "Intercom Gold Coin" from his pocket with the other hand to read the instructions clearly.
"Of course, I'm a professional at poking Slytherin's back door."
Then, just like he had done when he was in school, he cast the Alajo Opening spell on the snake-like pattern that seemed to be drawn with chalk on the wall.
A hole suddenly appeared on the wall of the stadium, and the next second, Deluxe ducked into it.
Tonks, who was rushing in from the main entrance with Kingsley from outside, was now in high spirits, and she and her mentor rushed into the locker room alternately from left to right according to the requirements in the "Auror Tactical Manual".
Unlike Gryffindor's locker room, Slytherin's locker room obviously put a lot of extra thought into the decoration. Although the space inside is not very large, many places are actually decorated with sculptures and expensive silk fabrics.
In other words, there are many blind spots here. Therefore, Kingsley and Tonks, the master and apprentice, chose a steady and steady search method. It took more than a minute to search the team's locker room, which was less than 50 square meters.
However, after using violent lock-picking spells to blow up several players' lockers, in addition to a few "Welfare Picture Albums of the Beautiful Witches of the Twentieth Century", "The Love Stories of Madame Zabini", and what seemed to be Muggle Apart from the "banned books" called "Playboy" that had been circulated, the two Aurors could not find anything else related to violations of discipline.
"What is all this?"
Tonks threw a crumpled picture album onto a bench aside, and it happened to be covered with a black leather diary. There was something vaguely suspicious about the picture album, which made the female Auror feel... Somewhat disgusting.
"There's actually a name on it - Marcus Flint - this unlucky kid doesn't know whether to say he's stupid or that there's something wrong with his brain."
Kingsley didn't pay attention to these things, and he had no time to care about the "poisonous weeds" that would definitely poison the students of Slytherin House. He just frowned and nervously cast one after another of the Auror Department's unique detection spells.
"There is no magic residue from the Illusion Curse, and the dye magic that detects the invisibility cloak does not respond. There is no traceless expansion spell here..."
He quickly analyzed the situation.
"...Excluding these possibilities, the only remaining possibility is that Peter Pettigrew did slip out through the back door."
Thinking of this, Kingsley immediately used the "intercom gold coin" to contact Delis who was responsible for blocking the back door, wanting to know the situation on his side.
