From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

Soon after, two red-haired boys, one tall and one short, walked into the principal's office.

Percy, a model student, said respectfully with a hint of uneasiness: "Good afternoon, Principal Dumbledore, Professor Capet, Professor Snape, and Mr. Black."

Ron also greeted everyone in the office uneasily.

Percy stood next to Ron, held his brother's hand, and asked: "Principal Dumbledore, did my brother Ron make any mistakes?"

"Ah, don't be nervous, Mr. Weasleys." Dumbledore smiled at them friendlyly, and with a wave of his hand, two sofas appeared behind them, and Percy and Ron sat down involuntarily. , at the same time, two glasses of pumpkin juice floated into their hands.

Dumbledore winked at them and said, "I came to you just to have a chat with you, do you mind?"

Percy and Ron shook their heads together, and Percy said, "Principal Dumbledore, I will tell you everything I know."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, "Percy, I remember you had a pet rat, right?"

"Yes, Headmaster," Percy said cautiously, "its name is Scabbers. This year my mother gave me an owl, so I gave Scabbers to Ron. Who knew he lost it recently."

"Well," Dumbledore continued, "how many years has this rat been in your house?"

"Six or seven years, probably," Percy said, not sure why Dumbledore cared so much about a mouse. "Is this mouse important?"

Once he heard Percy say he had raised him for six or seven years, Black began to get excited, while Snape began to frown slightly.

Dumbledore asked again: "Please consider this question carefully before answering it, Mr. Weasleys. Is that mouse missing a finger on its left paw?"

"Yes, Headmaster," Ron blurted out without obviously thinking carefully, "Scabbers's little finger on his left paw is broken."

"I knew it, I knew it!" Sirius shouted excitedly from the side, "It must be him, it can't be wrong."

"Quiet, Sirius," Dumbledore stopped Black's impulsive behavior and stared at Percy with sharp eyes, "Percy, is what Ron said true?"

Percy shrugged, "Yes, Headmaster. Scabbers does have a broken finger on his left hand."

Dumbledore also looked serious after hearing this, and asked solemnly in a loud voice: "Percy Weasley, and Ronald Weasley, I wonder if you would mind letting me see your story about the mouse Scabbers?" memory?"

"Look at my memory?" Percy was at a loss.

"You should pull the wand on your temple, and your memory will be magically copied." Ron gestured on Percy's head, "I once saw Professor Capet do this."

"You're right. Don't worry, no harm will be done to you." Dumbledore stood up and took out his wand, with knuckles bulging like the fingers of a gout patient. "Let's get started, Severus." , you come to extract Percy’s memory.”

Calvin on the side crossed his arms in front of his chest and snorted coldly, "As for guarding me like this?"

"Okay, Mr. Weasley, relax, close your eyes, and think about the memories of you and Scabbers." Dumbledore's elder wand pulled out a ray of silver-white memory from Ron's temple and put it in in a glass vial.Snape on the side also completed the same action expressionlessly.

"Okay, children, please go back first." Dumbledore said in a friendly tone again, "Remember, you can't talk about today's events with anyone, not even Mr. Potter and Miss Granger! "

As soon as the two Weasleys left, Dumbledore and Snape walked to the Pensieve with the vials containing memories, and Sirius and Calvin immediately gathered around them.Dumbledore poured Ron's memory in first and said, "Let's begin."

The four of them entered the Pensieve at the same time. Dumbledore and Snape stood firmly on the ground, while the two Calvins gave Black a hand beside them to prevent him from falling when he used the Pensieve for the first time. —Especially in front of Snape.

"Where is this? The two boys' house?" Sirius asked, "It looks really shabby, almost like it's about to collapse."

"It should be." Calvin took a look at the protected area from a distance and was deeply impressed by this twisted and strange house. "Of course it can't be compared with your family. The Black family is a big family. "

"Don't say that, you know I don't like to talk about this," Sirius muttered, "Besides, Arthur and I are related. He is probably my great-uncle's great-grandson."

The four of them walked into the Burrow and saw Percy Weasley holding up a birdcage containing a brown owl with a shining prefect badge on his clothes.

The people around him had different expressions. A short, fat woman looked at Percy proudly and told the other sons, especially George and Fred, that they should work hard to learn from her brother.Calvin guessed that she should be the mother of these red-haired children.

George and Fred crossed their arms and nodded perfunctorily to show they understood.

The younger son Ron looked at Percy with envy.Soon Percy said, "Ron, I already have Hermes, Scabbers will give it to you." After that, he took out a big fat mouse from his pocket.

Although the mouse was somewhat reluctant and squeaking, Percy still pushed it to Ron.

Ron held Banban in his hands as if he had found a treasure, and he couldn't wait to kiss her.

Dumbledore and others finally saw Scabbers clearly - a big, fat mouse with drab brown hair, missing a toe, and being listless all day long.

Blake shouted angrily, "It's him, it's definitely him, Peter Pedro, he's still alive, and I will never forget him turning into an Animagus as long as I live!"

Dumbledore and Snape looked at each other, and Snape said, "I think it is necessary to take another look at Percy's memory."

Sirius was about to retort when Calvin stopped him.Calvin doesn't want the conflict between the two to escalate.

Calvin said coldly, "I don't think there will be any big difference, but since it is the request of Prefect Snape, let's read it again."

The four left the pensieve. After Dumbledore took out Ron's memory, Snape poured Percy's memory into it.The four re-entered the Pensieve.

After a while, the four of them returned to the principal's office, with varying degrees of anger on their faces.

Percy's memory was almost the same as Ron's, and Dumbledore and Snape even saw Scabbers lying on the table reading a newspaper, with a very human expression on his face.

They had to believe that Scabbers the mouse was Peter Pedillo.

Sirius was the first to break the silence: "Principal Dumbledore, I can no longer accept the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. I want to capture Peter!"
