Chapter 431: Padfoot and Wormtail
Chapter 431 Padfoot and Wormtail
The sudden appearance of Kyle startled everyone, and even Professor Lupine's fist that was about to hit Black's face subconsciously stopped.
Only Blake was not affected and still pounced on the spot in Ron's hand without looking back.
But without a wand, he was quickly repelled by Harry and Hermione. His body flew out and hit a table with a bang.
“Kyle, Kyle?” Professor Lupine came back to his senses and said in disbelief, “Why are you here?”
"Hello, Professor." Kyle said with a smile, and then pointed to the corner where he had been just now, "I have been here for a while, right there...but none of you saw it."
“What? You’ve always been there?” Professor Luping frowned.
Although he had been looking at Blake just now and didn't pay much attention to the surrounding situation, it's not like he didn't notice that there were more people there.
And that’s not what he wanted to ask...
"I mean, how did you find this place?" Professor Lupine continued to ask.
“Follow the map.”
Kyle took out a large piece of parchment and said, "I was just reading this in the dormitory, and it turned out that the five of you left the castle before curfew. I was a little curious, so I followed you."
“The Marauder’s Map!”
After all, it was something he had participated in making and had been using it for several years. Professor Luping recognized what the parchment was just by looking at it.
“Did you take it from Filch’s office?”
"No, I haven't been to Filch's office." Kyle shook his head and said, "I borrowed this."
“Wait a minute, Kyle!”
At this moment, Harry suddenly realized something was wrong and said quickly: "Did you just say that five people left the castle?"
“Yes.” Kyle nodded.
Harry thought about it carefully, "But there are only three of us, plus Professor Lupin, it should be four. Could it be that Black has entered the castle again?"
"No." Kyle said: "The map shows that next to Professor Lupin, there is a man named Peter Pettigrew."
"This is impossible!" Ron was a little angry, "Why is it Peter again? It is obviously Scabbers!"
"Yes." This time Professor Lupine also stood on his side, "We have just confirmed that it is not an Animagus. I think there must be something wrong with the map... I mean, it has It’s been around a long time.”
“There can be no problem with the map!”
Before Kyle could speak, he saw Blake getting up from the ground and retorted loudly.
He looked extremely excited at this time and ran towards Kyle eagerly, but just two steps after running out, his body floated up uncontrollably like a balloon.
"Wandless casting..." Hermione covered her mouth and said in surprise.
“No!” Professor Lupine shook his head and stared at a blue bug the size of a fist next to Black. “It’s a Billywig bug... People who are stung by it will float uncontrollably.”
"Sorry, Blake is too excited right now. I think this should calm him down a bit." Kyle shrugged.
Then he stretched out his hand and caught the Billywig flying back.
Ron was envious for a while. If his Scabbers also had this skill, he probably wouldn't have been snatched away.
Black was still struggling, but Professor Lupine had already found a rope and tied him up firmly.
More like a balloon now.
"Let's go." He said, "It's very late now. We need to hand over Black to Professor Dumbledore quickly."
Professor Lupine paused, and finally handed him over to the dementors without saying anything.
But just as he was about to walk out, he noticed that Kyle was looking at the mouse in Ron's hand.
Scabbers no longer struggled at all now, resting comfortably in Ron's hand, seemingly still smiling. “Why can you laugh, Peter?”
Kyle kindly reminded: "Have you not realized it yet? You can't return to human form.
Or do you think Professor Lupine and Black are idiots who all chanted the wrong spell? "
Visible to the naked eye, the joy in the mouse's eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by a kind of panic.
Are Lupin and Black idiots?
Of course not, and on the contrary, they are all graduates with excellent grades.
Banban seemed to have thought of something, and the look of fear in his eyes became more and more intense. He began to struggle again, and even bit Ron's finger.
“Ouch.” Ron felt pain and let go of his hand.
But Banban, who fell to the ground, did not run away. He just kept circling in place and made a sharp cry.
“Banban, what’s wrong with you, Banban?” Ron said anxiously.
"It's nothing, it's just confirming something." Kyle looked at him, "Can you lend me your wand?"
Ron gripped the wand tightly and did not let go.
“Use mine.” Harry handed over his wand and looked at the mouse on the ground with a complicated expression.
He had too many doubts in his heart, and he didn't want to let go of any possibility of knowing the truth.
"Thanks."
Kyle took the wand and put it on the ground, smiled and said to Scabbers, "You can try it yourself to see if you can undo the Animagus transformation."
Banban didn’t move... He wouldn’t be that stupid and take the initiative to expose himself.
Kyle probably guessed what he was thinking and said: "Don't worry, if you can change back, then I will make the decision to let you go."
As he said that, he pointed the wand at Hermione without warning, "Expelliarmus!"
Kyle caught Hermione's wand and put it into his pocket along with Professor Lupin's and his own.
"Look, no one can threaten you now." Kyle spread his hands and said, "As long as you can change back and get Harry's wand, you can escape at any time."
“Kyle. You don’t…”
Professor Luping wanted to say something, but before he finished speaking, Banban moved.
While Ron looked at him in disbelief, it bumped into the tip of Harry's wand.
Different from the previous blue light, this time the wand flashes white light.
Under everyone's gaze, Banban's body trembled... and then nothing happened.
This time, even Ron noticed something was wrong with Scabbers. He seemed to be going crazy, hitting the wand again and again.
In the small room, white light flickered, as if a light bulb had been installed with poor contact.
This scene before him made Ron's faith gradually collapse... His Scabbers was using the wand, and he was still using the same spell.
Can an ordinary mouse know how to use a magic wand?
Banban bumped faster and harder, and even the fur on his head was broken.
A few drops of blood fell on the wand, making Harry feel sick.
He seemed to understand a little bit why Kyle wanted to borrow Ron's wand just now.
"Haha...Peter...hahaha..." Blake's wild laughter came from the room. He laughed very freely, and a crystal tear rolled down the corner of his eye and fell on the dusty floor.
