"I don't have time to tell you the specific situation now." Ivy rushed to Lupin's office and communicated with Betty through the patron saint. "You immediately ask Best to follow Luna to Professor Lupin's office. I will make an unbreakable alliance with Peter."
Oath curse. Once the oath is taken, Peter will leave Hogwarts, and I won't be able to provide any help at that time. You can just act accordingly based on what you see."
"Okay, I'll go find Harry and the others right away" Betty replied
"Not now, the Marauder's Map is still in Peter's hands. We have agreed that he will hand over the map after the oath is taken. Anyway, you can see the screen. Then you can go find Harry and the others and release Sirius by the way.
, see if we can catch him."
"Hmm. Do you want to tell Dumbledore?"
"It's not necessary. Judging from Lupine's tone, Dumbledore probably also intends to let him go. Let's try our best to help Harry and give it a try."
"knew"
"Besides, my cane is in the bedroom, so take it with me. I'll rely on you next time."
Ivy ended the call before arriving at the door of Professor Lupin's office. When he pushed the door open, Tate and Luna were already there.
"Very good, Mr. Shafiq." Tate looked very satisfied. "According to my observation, you didn't do any tricks and were very sincere. In return, I would like to express my gratitude."
With that said, Tate walked up and handed him the photo letter.
"Stop talking nonsense, I believe you can't wait to leave this hellish place. Let's get started." Ivey didn't give him a good look.
"I wish I could ask for it," Tate responded.
"We don't have to kneel, right?" Ivey said
"Of course, kneeling down just shows that both parties are more sincere. Please sit down -" Tate walked to two chairs facing each other and extended his hand to invite.
Ivey walked over and the two sat down face to face. Then they stretched out their right hands and held them together.
"Luna" Ivy shouted
"What do I do?" She didn't know the spell
"Come here and light our hands with your wand."
Luna stood between the two of them very obediently and put her wand against their hands.
"Little girl, I want to remind you. Witnesses are also given the obligation to keep secrets. If you tell them, you will die." Tate smiled brightly.
"I really want to die with you," Luna said coldly, "Just mind yourself."
"It's just a kind reminder. After all, I don't want another tragedy to happen. Okay - let's get down to business." Tate's face straightened. "Avi Shafiq, are you willing not to interfere in any form or method at twelve o'clock tonight?"
Pettigrew's escape from Hogwarts before."
"I do" Ivy replied at the same time
The tip of Luna's wand spurted out a slender, dazzling tongue of fire, which wrapped around their hands like red-hot metal wire.
"Are you willing to keep Pettigrew's escape from Hogwarts before twelve o'clock tonight a secret? Do not use cats, dogs, envelopes, or any other form or method to leak information about this operation."
"I do"
Another tongue of fire comes up
"Tate Bray, the above oath will take effect after I get the photo letter and the Marauder's Map. Are you willing?"
"I do"
The third tongue of fire entangled
As the spell was completed, several shallow burn marks were left on their hands.
"Where's the Marauder's Map?" Ivey said directly.
"I'll take you to get it." Tate walked to the door and made a gesture of invitation.
"I'm not going," Luna said coldly, "The spell has been completed, you don't need me anymore."
"No, no, no, dear, it seems you didn't listen carefully to our oath." Tate shook his head and stopped her. "For the spell to take effect, classmate Shafiq must get the Marauder's Map again. I want to see it with my own eyes."
It's not complete until he gets these two things."
"..."
"I'm sorry for bringing you into this," Ivy apologized.
"It's okay" Luna shook her head, "This is my own choice"
"Okay, you two, hurry up." Peter stood outside and urged.
The two followed Tate to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. After Tate took out a roll of parchment from the drawer of the desk, he looked at Ivy and asked, "Inspection?"
"Demonstrate it to me again," Ivy said.
"Let's let our witnesses demonstrate."
"Me? I don't know about the Marauder's Map," Luna said with a frown.
"I'll teach you~ Come here" Tate spread the parchment on the desk and "take out your wand"
Luna walked over and drew her wand.
"Point to it and say after me: I solemnly swear that I have done no good."
"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing wrong." Luna followed his instructions.
I saw that black ink began to appear on the originally blank parchment. The ink lines gradually extended, revealing a map of Hogwarts. The map showed the location of everyone in Hogwarts, and indicated the secret passages and open doors.
method.
"Well, no problem." Ivey glanced at
"Now say: the prank is over"
"The prank is over"
The map becomes an empty parchment again
"Witness, I have completed the prerequisites now, right?" Tate looked at Luna
"Conditions met" Luna nodded.
Immediately, the burn marks on Ivy and Tate's hands disappeared.
"Okay~ Thank you for your hard work." Tate was very happy and his voice was louder than before. "We'll see you soon."
"If you want to leave, leave thoroughly. I don't want anything left on Tate." Ivey looked at him meaningfully.
"You can rest assured about that~ I don't have that ability yet." Tate smiled self-deprecatingly, "Goodbye, you two."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tate closed his eyes and collapsed directly on the floor.
"Luna, let's take Tate back to the lounge." Ivey picked up Tate.
"Don't you put the map away?" Luna reminded
"Let's go, take him back to the lounge." But Ivey didn't seem to hear him.
There was no other way, Luna could only follow with suspicion.
....
other side
After Ivy and the others checked the map, Betty rushed to the restaurant to find Harry and the other three who were waiting for news.
"How's it going? Is there any result?" Seeing her, Harry hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"The plan has changed." Betty knew that now was not the time to explain. "Harry, you and Ron go to the Chamber of Secrets immediately to release Sirius. Hermione, go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom to get the Marauder's Map and put it in
On the table. Let’s meet in the lobby on the first floor.”
"Where's Ivy?" Hermione asked
"He can't interfere now... I'll explain this to you later. The top priority is to stop Peter, he is about to escape."
"But isn't Peter afraid to leave Hogwarts?" Ron was puzzled.
"The situation is different. In short - act first, and Ivey will explain to you later."
"Okay, I'll go find Sirius right away! Come with me - Ron" Harry made a quick decision and ran away with Ron.
"I'm going to get the map," Hermione said immediately.
After assigning the task, Betty recalled Best and said, "Tell me the spell that opens the map."
Betty saw the process as Peter demonstrated it, but couldn't hear the spell.
Best immediately leaned towards her ear. After a moment, Betty nodded, "You go find Ivy, and I will tell you if anything happens."
"Meow~" Best also followed the order and left.
Betty, alone, left the restaurant thoughtfully.
This time, they didn't keep her waiting. Hermione came back soon.
"No - I didn't see the map... Huh... it's just a roll of parchment with nothing on it." Hermione held up a roll of parchment and ran to her panting.
"This is it." Betty took the parchment and pulled out the wand. "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good."
The map gradually emerged on the parchment
"Wow - real-time monitoring!" Hermione was surprised
Betty ignored her and looked for Peter's name on the map.
"He has left the castle!" Hermione looked at the only name outside the castle and shouted quickly.
"Look in his direction...it's the Quidditch pitch"
"Why is he going to the stadium?" Hermione asked confused.
"...Across the field is Hogsmeade, and he wants to go there." Betty deduced.
"But Hogsmeade is now full of dementors! There are also people from the Ministry of Magic patrolling"
"That's why he went. The people at the Ministry of Magic want dogs, not big black rats."
"Betty——!" Harry and the others also came back. When Sirius heard that he was going to catch Peter, he was extremely obedient.
"Woof-" Sirius yelled at Betty. He maintained his Animagus form.
"Pettigrew is escaping to the Quidditch pitch. He wants to go to Hogsmeade." Although Betty didn't understand, she could guess what he said from his facial expression.
When Blake heard this, he immediately turned around and ran out.
"Come back!" Betty shouted to him
Blake turned back with a displeased look on his face.
"He took Tate's wand away. You're going to die like this." Not to mention that Black didn't have a wand. Even if he did, he was no match for Pettigrew in his current physical condition.
"Take this." Betty threw Ivy's cane to him. "It's much easier to use than your claws."
Blake nodded, picked up his cane and ran out.
"Can he find it?" Ron was a little doubtful.
"Peter left not long ago, and the smell is very obvious. With a dog's sense of smell, it shouldn't be a problem." Hermione answered.
"What should we do? Just wait here?" Harry was very reluctant.
"He is a dog and can be caught. But we can't catch him~" Ron said helplessly, "And the secret passage cannot be used, and the exit is guarded by the Ministry of Magic."
"Give me the map, I'll get the broom," Harry said to Betty with a heartbroken heart.
"You're crazy! It's easy to encounter dementors over there at night!" Hermione exclaimed in shock.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Betty didn't agree. "We use floo powder to go to Hogsmeade and block him at the other end."
"Uh...it's soul-captivating—"
"Leave the dementors to me and ignore the people from the Ministry of Magic. - Let's go to Professor Lupin's office."
The group of people soon arrived at Lupin's office. Betty took out a bag of Floo powder
"Pig's Head Bar, don't fly by mistake."
With a few words of instruction, several people immediately got into the flames.
...
Pig's Head Bar
A group of green fireworks suddenly erupted in the originally dark space. Then, several dark figures appeared.
"Light body technique... let's go, don't wake up the boss." After Betty added the status, several people opened the door and left the bar.
