Although there was a Quidditch match at nine o'clock, since it was still early in the morning and it was Saturday, most of the students at Hogwarts were still in bed enjoying their sleep.
After going down to the first floor, Rossi finally saw Lupine standing in the foyer, but Blake, whom he was chasing, had disappeared.
Where's Blake? Where did he go?
While thinking about it, she, who was still invisible, stepped lightly and walked down the marble stairs without making a sound.
At this moment, the door to the Slytherin dungeon was pushed open from inside, and Snape walked up quickly with anger on his face.
After seeing Lu Ping standing at the door, his face was obviously startled, and then he snorted slightly and slowly walked behind Lu Ping:
"Let me guess, did you take advantage of the good weather last night to go out for a walk under the moon?"
The provocative sarcasm made Rosie almost stop laughing. She covered her mouth hard and slowly hid behind the huge statue on the right side of the foyer.
"Snape, I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now."
Looking back at him, Lu Ping secretly clenched his fist.
"Not in the mood?"
Snape sneered, "I think you have a guilty conscience, right? You used my ingredients to brew Polyjuice Potion secretly. You didn't think I would never find out, did you?"
"Stealing your ingredients to make Polyjuice Potion?"
Lupine looked over with a stunned expression.
"What? Do you dare to do it or not?"
Snape's lips curved into a sneer, "That's right, isn't that just your nature?"
After walking around Lupine, Snape looked at him with disdain in his eyes and continued:
"Hmph! Black's appearance in school is indispensable without your help, right? Is that despicable criminal currently wandering around Hogwarts wearing someone else's appearance?"
"I've done no such thing, Snape!"
Lupine frowned tightly, "Whether you believe it or not, I am definitely not what you think!"
"Yeah?"
Snape raised his nose and snorted contemptuously again. He didn't want to believe a word of Lupine's words, "Then let me verify a guess first!"
As he spoke, he abruptly pulled out his wand and pointed it at Lupine quickly:
"The true form is revealed!"
The invisible spell instantly penetrated Lu Ping's body, but it did not cause any changes.
"I told you, I'm not!"
Lupine suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Snape's collar, then pushed him out hard.
After staggering back a few steps, Snape finally stood firm. He snorted softly and adjusted his wrinkled collar with both hands:
"Don't let me catch you, Lupin, or I'll send you and that criminal to Azkaban!"
With that, he turned around and walked towards the Slytherin dungeons without looking back.
After Snape left, Lupine, who had lowered his head and pondered for a moment, seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly walked upstairs.
"Polyjuice Potion? Did Black use the transformation potion to get through Hogwarts?"
Rossi, who had just lost his invisibility spell, walked out from behind the statue and thought suspiciously, "But if that's the case, why did he force his way into the Gryffindor Tower through the portrait of the fat woman?"
She had an intuition in her heart that the answer to this question must be very crucial to this copy.
"Squeak!"
The sudden sound immediately caught Rosie's attention. She followed the sound and saw a gray mouse with its mouth open curled up sickly in a hole in the corner, staring at Rosie with a pair of small eyes. .
mouse? ! !
The moment he saw the mouse, Rosie's eyes moved to its front paws, and there was a toe missing.
It's Peter Pettigrew! !
Rossi reacted immediately, took out his wand and was about to cast the confinement spell when he saw the mouse suddenly retreat and disappear into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
"Explosion rumble!"
Rossi immediately changed the spell.
With a bang, the small hole in the corner of the wall was opened by a magic spell, but the mouse that was inside just now disappeared completely.
Did it escape by drilling a hole?
Muttering in her mind, she was about to step forward to check when she heard Filch's cursing voice coming from the administrator's office behind her.
Oops! There's too much movement!
Hearing the footsteps inside getting heavier, Rossi hurriedly threw a repair spell at the place that was blasted by the blasting spell.
Without checking whether the wall was repaired perfectly, she hurriedly ran towards the outside of Hogwarts Castle.
Running along the eaves to the back entrance of the castle, Rossi planned to go to the Quidditch pitch to look for Black who might have gone there.
Now that she has discovered the traces of Peter Pettigrew, maybe Blake can find a way to find him!
"Maybe... you can rely on the smell? Although it sounds like a curse, he is also a real dog after transforming!"
Rossi muttered to himself as he held up his umbrella and walked quickly towards the Quidditch pitch.
In the drizzle, the Quidditch pitch looked a little blurry.
After turning the wand upside down and silently casting a spell to protect herself from the cold and warmth, she felt a little warmer, and her calves, which were not wearing any clothing to keep them warm, were no longer cold.
"Where is the person? Haven't you come here yet?"
Standing at the highest point of the stands, looking around on tiptoes, Rossi tried to concentrate so that he could see through the gray drizzle to see the target clearly.
However, after observing for a long time, I still didn't see anyone's shadow.
Uh...should I go to the stadium's temporary lounge? Normally, if Hermione went there, Black would probably avoid her.
Just as I was thinking about it, Blake's deep voice suddenly came to mind:
"Who are you looking for again?"
"Blake?"
Rosie turned around in surprise, "I'm looking for you!"
"Looking for me? How did you know I was here?"
Blake looked at Rossi without blinking, his thin face full of suspicion, "Who told you I was here?"
"That's not important, Blake!"
Without explaining in these minutiae, Rosie simply said the most important thing: she had just seen the gray mouse in the hall of Hogwarts.
"What? Did you see Peter?!!"
Blake took a step forward and grabbed her arms firmly with both hands, "Then did you catch him?!!"
"He was in the mouse hole. When I pulled out my wand and was about to cast a spell, he escaped from the other side of the mouse hole!"
Rossi explained with a wry smile.
Upon hearing this, Blake took two steps back in disappointment, and then grabbed his hair with a ferocious expression.
"But it at least means he's hiding in Hogwarts."
Rossi rubbed the arm that was a little sore from his scratching just now, "Can't you find him? For example, by following the scent or something like that?"
Without answering Rossi's words, Blake gasped for air, clenched his fists and punched the stands several times in a ventive manner.
It wasn't until blood seeped out from his fist that he finally calmed down: "It's very difficult! What that guy is best at is escaping and hiding. From what I know about him, I'm afraid he has already started to think of ways to escape from Hogwarts! "
"Then we have to hurry up!"
After hearing Black's words, Rossi's face suddenly became serious, "If he wants to escape, then there is probably no more suitable time than during the Quidditch match!"
