Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 45: Banban is missing

Harry Potter's real threat never leaves, never rests, and it's Lord Voldemort himself.

Several people came to the door together. Here was a staff member from the Ministry of Magic guarding the door. It was not Umbridge who Lu Ke had met once before, but another tall and thin wizard.

"Did you notice anything, Headmaster Dumbledore?"

The wizard looked at Dumbledore with admiration on his face.

Dumbledore shook his head: "We are one step late."

The wizard shook his head: "That's such a shame."

Dumbledore nodded: "Yeah, what a pity."

With that said, the four of them walked into the door together.

"Lu Ke, regarding the curse on you," Dumbledore shook his head casually, "You can ask Severus for help. His potion skills have improved greatly recently, and Lupine knows this firsthand."

Lupine smiled and nodded: "His potion is very easy to use. I originally thought I would have to hide it throughout the winter vacation."

Lu Ke nodded: "But now Professor McGonagall is already thinking of a way..."

Dumbledore nodded: "I'm also helping, did I tell you? Professor McGonagall took my place and became the professor of Transfiguration."

Lu Ke was a little surprised: "I'm fine now, Professor, there's no need to worry at all..."

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head: "No, Lu Ke, I know you rarely need my help. I just don't want to miss an interesting research topic. You are really a genius. My interest in transfiguration was attracted by you many years later." Lit."

Lu Ke shook his head helplessly: "Okay..."

Then the four men separated at the castle gate.

Lupine returned to Hogwarts and soon met an excited Harry.

When Harry told Lupine what happened, Lupine looked surprised.

"You really surprised me..."

Harry looked at Lupine expectantly: "But I haven't seen what my Patronus looks like. It should be soon, right?"

Lupine nodded: "Of course, you have stopped the Dementors, and it is not far away from when you can actually see the Patronus."

When Harry left Lupin's office and returned to the hall, he saw Hermione and Ron waiting there.

Hermione looked busy, as if she was preparing to do her best to make up for the time she had lost cheering Harry on.

Ron was trying to comfort Hermione, but his efforts were in vain.

Harry sat next to Hermione and glanced at the books piled up in front of her like a wall.

"Harry, I think Hermione needs some rest."

Hermione raised her head and glanced at Ron: "I don't need it. The professor of Divination class left a long homework, and I'm still an inch short..."

Ron shook his head: "You can't do your homework if you're too tired."

But Hermione turned a deaf ear.

Ron whispered to Harry: "We should go find Johanna!"

Harry chilled for a moment, then shook his head: "I have more important things."

"Ron, where is Scabbers?"

The expression on Ron's face instantly became extremely stiff.

Harry was stunned for a moment, he was frightened by Ron's expression.

Ron hesitated and stood up: "Let's go to the dormitory and have a look."

Harry was stunned for a moment: "But Hermione..."

Hermione waved her hand casually: "I won't go."

Harry sighed helplessly and followed Ron into the Gryffindor common room.

In front of the lounge door, they were also sprayed with dirty words by Sir Cadogan, who replaced the Fat Lady.

Harry shook his head helplessly: "I really don't know why Dumbledore chose him."

Ron shook his head: "Because although he speaks rudely, he is actually quite reliable."

With that said, the two of them returned to their dormitory together.

Ron bent down and dug out a cloth bag under his bed, and Harry was surprised to find that it was the sheets that had originally been laid on Ron's bed.

Then Ron opened the sheets.

There was a pool of blood on it.

Harry was stunned for a moment: "When did you get hurt?"

Ron shook his head: "No, look carefully."

Harry lowered his head and looked closer, and then he noticed something's hair next to the blood.

In addition to the red of Ron's hair, there is also the gray of Scabbers the mouse, and the impressive ginger of Crookshanks.

"Crookshanks..."

Harry was simply stunned.

"Did it eat Banban?"

Ron fell silent with a sad look on his face.

Harry looked at Ron: "Why did you never tell me and Hermione...wait, then who does that mouse I saw belong to?"

Ron was stunned for a moment: "You asked me this suddenly because you saw Scabbers?"

Harry glanced down at the sheets: "I originally thought so, but now... I don't think so anymore."

Ron shook his head: "Actually... I thought the same way at first. I was almost going crazy. I felt that Hermione didn't take good care of Crookshanks and killed Scabbers."

"But then I thought about it carefully and realized something was wrong."

"You know, Banban has lived in our family for twelve years. If it was so easy to be eaten by a cat, it wouldn't be Banban... Although Crookshanks also looks very unusual, I still I trust my mice more.”

"So you see, we didn't see Banban's body at all."

Harry shook his head: "I know Hermione is like this, and you don't want to cause her trouble, but Ron, if you think about it carefully, Scabbers was eaten, and of course you can't see its body!"

Ron shook his head: "Then what did you see?"

Harry was stunned for a moment: "There are many people in Hogwarts who keep rats as pets, right?"

Ron smiled and shook his head: "Don't be silly Harry, how many wizards would choose rats as pets? Even Neville has a toad, and Scabbers didn't buy it at all. Rats have never been a popular pet."

Harry sighed: "I think you take too much care of Hermione."

Ron lowered his head and wrapped the sheets again: "What exactly did you see? If it's just Scabbers, there's no need to be in such a hurry to find me, right?"

Harry hesitated, looked left and right, and then took out the Marauder's Map.

"I really want to see something that shouldn't be there."

As he spoke, he clicked on the map with his wand: "I solemnly swear that I have done no good!"

Then the map appeared, and Harry lowered his head and pointed out their location to Ron: "Look, we are here, so it has our names on it."

Ron nodded: "But there shouldn't even be a mouse marked on it, right?"

Harry nodded: "When I happened to see Scabbers, a name appeared at the same location on the map."

"Peter Pettigrew..."

The dormitory fell into a profound silence.
