After talking about Buckbeak, Hagrid saw the cage in Ryan's hand and asked: "What's wrong with you, the mouse?"
"Oh, this is Ron's pet." Ryan said, opening the cage and handing Scabbers to Hagrid. "This mouse feels much thinner than before, and his energy is also much worse. I have recently used some methods to treat it.
, but it only prevented the rapid deterioration of this mouse's condition, but there is still no way to cure it. Among the people I know, you are the only one who knows about these animals, so I want to find a way with you."
"Let me take a look." After Hagrid took over Banban with his big hand, "It looks like it has suffered a lot of injuries before." Hagrid moved Banban's head and paws with his hands and said, "Look, its ears are even damaged by external force."
It had been torn into pieces, and one of its front paws was missing."
"By the way, how old is this rat?" Hagrid asked Ryan after checking it.
"As far as I know, this was Percy's old pet, probably seven or eight years ago." Ryan said uncertainly.
"Seven or eight years? What a miracle. You must know that this kind of ordinary mouse can only live for three years in most cases. However, there are always exceptions in everything. Maybe this mouse is an exception. But even if it lives longer than a normal mouse
It should be at the end of its lifespan now, so I personally suggest you feed it something like absinthe. Although this is not good for the mouse, it can at least make its last days more comfortable." Hagrid
Finally came to a conclusion.
"Okay, thank you." After saying that, Ryan stuffed Scabbers back into the cage. After discussing for a while which case to use as the focus, Ryan and Hermione said goodbye and left Hagrid's hut.
When they returned to the common room, Hermione suddenly said to Ryan: "Go up and put the cage away first. I have something to tell you."
Ryan nodded and quickly put the cage away and returned to the common room. He found Hermione sitting in a corner waiting for him.
As soon as he took the seat opposite Hermione, Hermione asked him: "What on earth is Weasley's rat?"
"How did you tell something was wrong?" Ryan asked.
"Others may think that the thing wrapped around your cage is just an exotic decoration, but I have seen you use those beautiful little stones engraved with strange runes to easily turn those zombies into ashes in the temple.
For such a scary zombie, you only need one stone. I don’t think it’s a normal mouse that needs more than a dozen stones wrapped around the outside of the cage.”
"Well, you're paying close attention. What I want to tell you is that I suspect that rat may be a wizard."
"What?" Hermione couldn't control her voice, and several classmates in the common room turned to look at her. She quickly lowered her voice and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Actually it was just an accident." Ryan said what he had made up in advance. "You know I have some magic that can't be learned in school. When I got Banban on the first day, I used a soul-targeting one.
Hypnosis magic, and it fell asleep directly."
"Hypnosis magic makes it fall asleep. This is normal." Hermione said with some confusion.
"But the problem is that it's for the human soul. Theoretically speaking, animals shouldn't sleep." Ryan explained. "After that, I tried several times with similar magic, and the final conclusion was that this mouse should be transformed into a human."
Seeing Hermione open her mouth with a shocked expression, Ryan paused and continued. "I went to Hagrid today to confirm this. An ordinary mouse that is not a magical animal has lived for such a long time. It is not at all normal."
"So that mouse may have been transformed by a wizard? It allows him to live like a mouse for several years, which means that the wizard cannot disclose his identity. In this case, there is a high probability that criminals in the wizarding world may use this method. Hide yourself. Oh my god, what should we do now?" Hermione whispered nervously.
"I even have a suspicion about who this mouse is, but I have to ask someone to be sure." After finishing speaking, Ryan glanced at the common room, and then shouted to a tall red-haired boy: "Per Senior Xi, I have a question to ask you."
Percy quickly ended the ongoing conversation and came over, "Hi, Ryan, Hermione, what are you doing here?"
"We were discussing a problem. You know, Ron's rat was recently treated at my place, and we discovered something, um, unusual." Ryan replied.
"That mouse? It used to be my pet. I can answer some questions for you." Percy said.
"It used to be your pet? That's great. I want to know when did that pet come to your home? What was it like when it first came to your home?"
"Well, that pet was first brought back by my father. It was given to our eldest brother Bill first, and then to me when I was in school. When I got a new owl, it was given to my younger brother Ron. Calculated, it has lived in our house for twelve years. Oh my God, Scabbers has lived for such a long time, and I didn’t even notice." After carefully recalling it, Percy was also a little shocked by this situation.
"As for how it looked when we first arrived at our house, my father picked up a mouse in our garden that day. I remember clearly that the mouse had wounds on its ears and one of its front paws was missing. Now that I think about it, who among us was at that time? I didn't expect that this mouse with wounds all over his body would live for so long." Percy finally said.
Ryan and Hermione looked at each other, and they both saw a kind of surprise in each other's eyes. But Hermione was really surprised and Ryan was pretending.
Percy also saw that something was wrong from the exchange of expressions between the two people, and asked, "What problem did you find on Scabbers?"
"Well, your mouse might be a human." Hermione said.
"How is that possible?" Percy looked in disbelief.
"It's true." Ryan said. "Because when we went to Hagrid's place today, we took Scabbers with us. He told me that the normal life span of an ordinary house mouse like this is only three years."
"Well, that might be because our mice live longer." Percy stammered in shock.
"It's normal to live a life of one or two years, but four times a lifespan is a bit abnormal, right? Compared to humans, Scabbers is as old as Nicoléme the Mouse, but he doesn't have the magic stone or the potion of immortality." He said. Min added.
Percy's face began to look ugly. After all, normal people's faces wouldn't look much better after knowing that they had been sleeping with a stranger for several years.
At this time, Ryan continued: "And based on what Senior Percy just said, I have roughly guessed who this mouse is."
"Who?" Percy and Hermione said in unison.
"Peter Pedroe, the man who is said to have been killed by Sirius Black."
