Chapter 884 Hogsmeade

Peter Pettigrew said that he had been hiding for twelve years. Is he finally getting retribution now?

Sirius believed him and transferred the Fidelius charm to Peter, but he betrayed him to Voldemort, causing the tragic death of Harry's father.

Originally, as long as the secret keeper did not betray them, Voldemort would not be able to find them even if they passed in front of Voldemort. It was a fairly safe confidentiality measure. However, Sirius mistakenly believed Pettigrew, which eventually led to a disaster.

After Sirius got the bad news, he immediately guessed that it was Peter who betrayed Harry's parents and went to Peter to settle the score, but the cunning Peter cut off his finger to detonate the powerful spell, pretending to be killed by Sirius. Not only did he successfully escape Sirius's pursuit, but he also made Sirius bear the crime of killing Harry's parents and twelve Muggles, and was sent to Amagkban without trial.

Because everyone thought that the secret keeper was James Potter's best friend Sirius, not Peter.

Sirius had been suffering from the pain of his friend's death and the wounds caused by the anger of being betrayed. The two wounds had drained his heart. Now he knew that his enemy was in the school, but unfortunately he couldn't find Peter.

Hogwarts had several secret passages leading to the outside of the school, and Sirius knew them all. He could avoid the sight of the Dementors and enter the school, but it was not easy to find a mouse in the school.

But Sirius didn't know that Peter was not having a good time now. Looking at the yellow cat in front of him who was chattering non-stop, Peter's white hair was sweating.

"I smell a bad smell, a bad smell coming from under your mouse's skin." Crookshanks put his nose close and really smelled a smell that didn't belong to a mouse, to be precise, a smell of magic.

Peter shivered.

Crookshanks raised his paw as if to slap the mouse, and at this moment Peter finally couldn't stand the pressure and immediately rolled sideways. It was a completely cheating rolling move. The cat was stunned, and it didn't even touch the mouse.

Roll, roll hard, roll around the cat, roll in self-abandonment. Peter didn't want to die, but facing this strange cat that could only release the momentum that was no less than Voldemort's, he could only use his own rogue way to try to get a glimmer of life, hoping that the other party would not eat a crazy mouse.

Is this mouse crazy? Crookshanks thought with disdain, he actually encountered a crazy mouse, which ruined the atmosphere of his speech.

It works, the other party won't want to bite it when it rolls. Peter rolled harder, small circles and big circles, rotating and revolving.

Fortunately, Crookshanks was not a cat that was easy to fool. He stretched out his claws again and pressed Peter to the ground directly: "I know you can understand me. I don't want to kill you now, because it's too troublesome to deal with the body, but you listen to me and stop your clownish behavior and don't irritate me."

I couldn't breathe, the cat's claws were too strong.

"If you want to roll, roll away from me, don't get close to the girls' dormitory, and don't let me see you again, wizard." Crookshanks had seen through the mouse, but the body after killing the Animagus would return to human form, and Crookshanks didn't want to deal with the body.

As if he had been pardoned, Peter immediately rolled away from the girls' dormitory, then ran out of the common room and fled to other places.

Crookshanks shook his paws, yawned, and returned to Hermione's bed. He stretched on the soft carpet, then curled up and continued to sleep.

What was the situation with the cat? Peter ran away with lingering fear, but he was very strange. He didn't look like a wizard, but he had never heard of a magical elf with cat appearance. But Peter remembered that the cat was the cat of Duran's daughter. Thinking of a series of incredible things that happened last semester, the cat that Duran connected with didn't seem strange. It must be some weird Muggle who did it. No, he is not a Muggle, but a monster.

What should I do now? Someone in the castle has discovered me, and there is a little Sirius outside the castle. He must have recognized me to come to the magic school. Peter had to think about where to go.

He was very timid, had no opinion, and worshipped the strong and obeyed the strong.

Peter is very similar to Neville. They are also timid and useless. The difference is that Neville has his own principles and will stick to them. Peter is unprincipled. When he was in school, he admired the combination of James, Lupin and Black, and played pranks with them all day long and became their lackey. When he grew up, he was caught by Voldemort and betrayed his former classmates who believed in him without saying a word, and became Voldemort's minion.

Neville is different. He had the courage to say no to Harry Potter in the first grade.

When Peter was young, he chose to follow the students who gave the teacher a headache, which fully demonstrated that he was not only timid but also flattered the powerful and was a complete fence-sitter.

Cowardly, cunning, and fickle, Peter has many human weaknesses, but in fact, Peter's greatest characteristic is cunning, not timid. Fraud, framing, betrayal, and always hugging thighs all show that his cunning is better than timid.

The weather changed quickly, and soon it was winter, and heavy snow fell. However, the students' enthusiasm remained unabated, because Hermione and her friends could finally go to Hogsmeade to meet wizards other than teachers.

Candy stores, joke shops, bars, post offices, repair shops... Although Hogsmeade is not big, there are many shops that students like.

"Poor Harry, he must be extremely disappointed now." Ron, Neville, Grant and others came to the village together. Looking at the colorful goods in the window, the third-grade students who came to the village for the first time were very happy.

"We can bring some snacks for Harry." Neville said, and he couldn't help but walk towards the candy store.

"Let's go, let's go to the famous Screaming House." Grant had already thought of the goal: "The most famous haunted house in the UK, if you don't go to the haunted house, you haven't been to Hogsmeade."

Ron hasn't expressed his opinion yet, and he has been pulled by Grant to walk towards the haunted house.

It was a shaky old house, and it seemed that a gust of wind could blow down the wooden house.

"See? It's shaking." Ron's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that there would be a house more shabby and dilapidated than theirs: "I'm sure no one would live in it."

"Don't be silly, there's no one living in it. Legend has it that there are ghosts in it." Ge Lan said: "And I heard from seniors that they have heard ghosts screaming." There were indeed creaking sounds coming from time to time, but it was not ghosts screaming, but the house was shaking and groaning, and it looked like it could collapse at any time.

On a sunny day after a heavy snowfall, everything was white, even the roof of the haunted house was white, no wonder there were sounds, the weight of the white snow on the roof made the house overwhelmed.

Ge Lan was a little disappointed: "It doesn't seem as interesting as I imagined."

Ron thought to himself, aren't there many ghosts in the school? Is it necessary to come out to see ghosts? He didn't understand that the haunted house is not about seeing ghosts, but about seeing the cultural background.
