'I like it, I like it very much. '
Ron wanted to say that out loud.
But this meant that he had to lose Banban, which made him very embarrassed.
"Brother D, does it have to be Banban?"
Ron said frustratedly.
He and Scabbers already have a certain relationship. They have lived together for countless days and nights. Even if he likes Sniffing, Ron can't exchange it for another pet.
This is a matter of principle.
"Yes."
Dudley said firmly.
"Scabbers was originally the pet of Charlie (the second son of the Weasley family), and was later given to Percy. A year before I entered Hogwarts, Percy gave it to me."
"Although he was just an ordinary little mouse, Banban was the one who kept me company during those years when I had no friends."
Ron held Scabbers in his hands and gently stroked his shiny fur.
The sluggish Scabbers seemed to sense it, nuzzled Ron's hand with his head, and stretched out his little tongue to lick his fingers.
He looked like a loving master.
"It was my first friend and my only friend at the time."
Ron said as he held Banban in his arms, kissed him gently on the forehead, and his tone gradually became firmer and stronger.
"Brother D, if you ask me for Banban for other reasons, then I will give it to you without hesitation, but if it is to feed the big cat. I'm sorry, I can't give you my friend."
After finishing speaking, Ron closed his eyes, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. Ahem, he looked at death as if he were home.
Never betray a friend.
"Yes, very good. If you agreed directly, I would look down on you."
Dudley clapped his hands gently, his expression showing two parts praise, one part admiration and seven parts hesitation.
Especially when I saw Ron’s kiss on Banban’s forehead.
The expression becomes very subtle.
I hope Ron can bear it later.
"You and Banban have such a good relationship."
"Of course, we eat, live and sleep together. We are each other's closest companions. This is our bond."
Ron rubbed his cheek against Scabbers again, and Scabbers responded in kind.
"."
After a strange and short silence, Dudley spoke again: "Ron, there is something I think I need to tell you."
"As far as I know, your pet rat Banban has lived in your house for twelve years. Is that correct?"
"Yes, it is."
Ron nodded, not noticing anything was wrong.
Dudley sighed. Hogwarts didn't have biology, and it didn't teach common sense to ordinary creatures at all.
"Ron, the lifespan of a mouse, especially a rat, is only about 2-3 years."
Spotted Beard trembled slightly, but still looked like he was dying.
"Do you know what this means?"
Dudley changed the subject and his tone became serious.
"Meaning that Banban lives a long life?"
Ron replied dully.
Dudley:.
"I mean it's impossible for a squirrel to live for 12 years. Even if it lived longer, it would have died a few years ago."
The patchy beard trembled more frequently.
"Brother D. What do you mean by this? Could it be?"
Just when Dudley thought he had discovered the key to the problem.
"Banban is actually dead, and now he is Banban's ghost?!"
Dudley:.
"Aren't you going to show your true identity yet?"
Dudley simply stopped talking to Ron and focused his gaze on Scabbers.
"I thought maybe the Imperius Curse could make you tell the truth."
Dudley knew the Imperius Curse, but he didn't know it at all, and no one taught him, but that didn't stop him from using it to deceive people.
"Brother D, what are you talking about?!!!"
In Ron's shocked eyes, his fat pet mouse, Spot, began to expand rapidly and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, it turned into a human form.
It was a man with a short, fat body, old and ugly, with red bumps all over his face, especially the greasy and reflective top of his head. Even from a distance, Ron could smell the strong smell emanating from him. Oily smell.
Peter Pettigrew.
"Scabbers." Ron was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and muttered.
How did Brother D use the transformation spell to turn Banban into a human? The key is that it's still so ugly.
Peter didn't know what Ron was thinking at this time, and thought he was frightened, so he immediately snatched Ron's wand away.
With the wand in hand, Peter felt a little safer.
Especially seeing that Dudley didn't have a wand in his hand.
"Dear Mr. Desi Li, I don't mean to offend you. Please believe me. I don't mean any harm."
Peter stammered and said something nice, but the wand kept pointing at Dudley. As long as he had the slightest abnormality, he would cast a spell. His little eyes were looking around, especially at the door, as if he was afraid of something suddenly breaking in. Just like coming in.
Peter transformed into Scabbers and followed Ron all the time, knowing very well what kind of person Dudley was in front of him.
Very outstanding, perhaps the best young wizard in recent decades, even better than James and Sirius of his generation.
This is the man who made even the arrogant Lucius suffer.
But fortunately, he is just a little wizard and does not have a wand in his hand.
And he, Peter Pettigrew, had a wand in his hand.
Absolutely not give the other party any chance.
"Don't do anything. Yeah, fine, like this,"
Seeing that the other party never made any move, he thought he was scared. He was slightly relieved and a little curious.
"How did you find me?"
Animagus is a perfect method of transformation. Once transformed, it is no different from a normal animal, and ordinary wizards cannot detect the abnormality at all. For example, he stayed with the Weasley family for twelve years without anyone noticing.
Dudley glanced at him lightly, sitting on the chair with the old god still present, without any intention of answering him.
"Forget it, Mr. De Sili, let's just let this never happen."
He no longer hesitated and raised his wand decisively, intending to cast the Forgetting Curse on the two of them.
To be honest, even if he was discovered, he had no intention of killing the two of them.
On the one hand, it was troublesome to deal with killing people in Hogwarts. On the other hand, he didn't believe that the other party would know his identity. If he didn't know his identity, there would be no danger.
The most correct choice is to let the two of them forget about this matter, so that he can continue to lurk around Ron.
There was that guy Sirius outside. God knows where he was hiding, waiting for him to get out.
In comparison, Hogwarts is the safest place.
Normally, he would first weave a tragic life experience for himself, and then use words to deceive the other person.
He has always been good at pretending to be pitiful.
It's just that the situation is urgent now, there are countless dementors outside, and there is a Black who is eyeing him, so he doesn't have that much time.
"Forget everything"
