A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 258: Nickelmay among the mice
Felix is sorting out the known information——
'From what happened today, we can know that Sirius Black's first target is not Harry, but Ron Weasley. Could it be that the Ministry of Magic got it wrong from the beginning? ’
'But it doesn't make sense. When Blake was imprisoned twelve years ago, Ron was only one year old at the time... Is it a personal enmity, a grudge from the previous generation? ’
Felix recalled meeting Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley at the Leaky Cauldron. many.
'No, my thinking is off the mark. If Black and the Weasleys have a grudge, he can find them directly. The Weasleys don't have the dual protection of dementors and Hogwarts. ’
'So, Ron Weasley is the key! ’
Felix tried to recall the characteristics of this student. Except for the amazing courage that burst out in the secret room, everything was normal afterwards. The homework handed in showed obvious traces of patchwork, and it seemed that he was not very smart...
Pulling away.
He focused on Ron Weasley's life and social circle. From his friends, parents, brothers, and the sister who was temporarily bewitched by Voldemort's Horcrux, he thought of Ron's pet Scabbers.
If Ron is not Black's real target, then the only suspicious thing about him, or the living thing is the pet rat Scabbers.
"Mouse, tsk!" Felix said with a sigh, "Usually I wouldn't doubt it, but since Black has kept the fact that he is an Animagus hidden, will this mouse be the same? Or Said it was a victim of a curse?"
Felix pondered for a moment, and he still prefers that the mouse is an Animagus, rather than being subjected to some vicious forced transformation. figure it out.
"Blake absolutely hates that mouse."
Felix felt a little tricky. Although the above ideas were all based on assumptions and reasoning, they had to be said to be very likely.
Actually, if Scabbers was a victim of a malicious transformation, it would be fine to find it and send it to St. Mungo's for treatment, but if it is an illegal Animagus, that means, it Can turn back into a wizard at any time. The problem is: I can't judge whether it's an enemy or a friend.
"He may be hiding from the enemy, or he may have to remain anonymous for some reason. But—" Felix felt a huge sense of absurdity in his heart. "Yes, if he really wants to hide, he can choose to avoid the wizarding world. A wizard can live a good life. But he didn't. Instead, he wronged himself, hid in the wizard's family, and disguised himself as a pet mouse , this is definitely not an expression of goodwill.”
The reason he could think of was that the wizard didn't want to be cut off from the wizarding world, and Mr. Weasley worked for the Ministry of Magic, which happened to meet his request.
At this point, he has almost made a basic judgment. The mouse is probably not a good person. When meeting him, give him a stun spell first, and put it down. true identity. As for Sirius Black...
"It's hard to say, the enemy of a bad person is not necessarily a good person, the reality is too complicated. Moreover, Black ran away from him twice... Although there was a reason for each time, this kind of being led by the nose It feels bad."
Felix always thought that Blake had no brains. Several parties back then—Snape said he was stupid, Lupine said he was impulsive, Professor McGonagall said he was lively, but the Fat Lady didn't comment, but It directly revealed a lot of his "adventures" and "great achievements" when he was in school, and some ideas are really beyond the reach of normal people.
"This time, he was very smart. He seized the gap during the Christmas holiday. If it wasn't for Harry's strength, he might have succeeded."
Next, Felix did two things.
First thing, he went to the den of the acromantula in the Forbidden Forest.
The Forbidden Forest was covered with thick snow, and Felix was wearing a dark cloak. When his figure appeared in a hollow, there was a rattling sound all around.
This open space was also stained white by the snow, only the hemispherical spider web nest in the center was conspicuous enough.
"Gork, come out and meet me." Felix sent his voice into the cobweb lair.
Snowflakes fluttered down, and a few acromantulas slowly walked out from inside.
Gork has become the new king of this group of spiders. He occupies the best position in the center of the group, surrounded by several big spiders, and looks like a king.
"Wizard." Gork said violently, "What's the matter?"
"This is not a conversational attitude, Gork, have you forgotten what I said?"
Gork's body froze, "I don't mean anything else, I was just sleeping."
"Do acromantulas hibernate?" Felix asked curiously, would someone catch a few acromantaras or extract their venom while they were hibernating?
"Winter will make us uncomfortable. We try to stay in the cave as much as possible and rarely go out." Gork explained, "But it is not ignorant of the outside world, so I will come out now."
Felix nodded: "I heard that you can control the spiders in the Forbidden Forest?" From his perspective, there are many fist-sized spiders on the white spider webs, snow, and dead leaves. Crawling.
"They are hibernating, and many of them won't be able to survive this winter. What you see are the baby spiders of acromantula, whose thick hair can resist ice and snow." Gork said, waving his big pincers.
"I just need some helpers who are smart enough." Felix raised the corner of his mouth, "Listen, Gork, I need you to look for a **** dog or a stranger in the forbidden forest. There is likely to be a fixed foothold, such as an abandoned beast cave, and you don’t need to do it after you find it, just remember the location and contact me.”
Gork thought for a long time and said: "I can only let the spiderlings go out. Our size is too obvious, and the centaur will fight back."
"Okay." Felix agreed, and as parting, he gave Gork a large cask of sherry - left over from Trelawney's return Christmas present, not quite to his liking.
"Belated congratulations, Gork."
The second thing~IndoMTL.com~ He went to the school hospital and asked Ron for some information about the mouse. Banban actually inherited it from his older brother Percy.
"How long has it been in your house?"
"It's been a while," said Ron, puzzled.
"To be more specific?" Felix asked persuasively, "When were you aware of its existence, five or six, seven or eight years old?"
According to his guess, since it is Percy Weasley's pet, seven years is more reasonable. Considering that the Weasleys are an orthodox wizarding family, it may be one or two years earlier.
Ron thought hard, "I seem to have heard my mother mention it. It should be when Percy was five or six years old. One morning, he found Scabbers and immediately decided to raise it. Mom actually didn't like it because it looked like a dog. An ordinary mouse with a missing toe. But Percy lost his temper in a rare way, crying and fussing, and his mother had to agree to him. This is Percy's black history, and he doesn't want to tell anyone."
Ron grinned and pulled the wound on his leg.
"An ordinary mouse is missing a toe..." Felix repeated lightly, and he said with a look of admiration: "So, Scabbers lived at least eleven or twelve years? I remember that ordinary mice can generally live It will be good in three years."
"This is the Nick Flamel of mice."
