The Witch's Bodyguard [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

Peter Pettigrew has been living in panic since Sirius escaped from prison. He was originally a fat mouse, but he has become very thin in the past few months.In addition to the threat of Sirius, the cat named Crookshanks is even more terrifying. It wants to catch itself all the time. Pettigrew Peter is sure that the cat is with Sirius, and his hiding place must be Crewe. Keshan offered to Sirius.

But he still escaped the roundup of the two of them. He was familiar with every corner of Hogwarts. Peter Pettigrew basically kept the secret passage marked on the Marauder's Map firmly in his heart. He hid himself in the boys' dormitory. The air duct, neither Crookshanks nor Sirius could catch him.

He thought that as long as this semester was over, all the problems would be solved, and he would follow Ron back to Weasley's house, and find an opportunity to anonymously report to the Ministry of Magic that Sirius was actually an illegal Animagus, He can turn into a big black dog, so that Sirius has nowhere to hide, and who cares about the whereabouts of Peter Pettigrew.

This was his original plan. There was no fat cat named Stark in his plan. Pettigrew Peter has obviously found out that the other party is not a real cat. He is smarter than Crookshanks, which is undoubtedly Human thinking.

"I said, no matter who you are, please let me go, as long as you let me go, I will give you as much money as you want." Peter Pettigrew screamed, "I know where many treasures are hidden, Hogg There are plenty of Woz's, really, unguarded. They're priceless, only you and me, only we know, and we can keep them for ourselves." He thinks Stark is an Animagus, apparently Tucker's appearance is indeed very similar.

Stark felt very funny: "You mentioned money to me?" Squeezing out the words, "I think you may not understand, little mouse, I'm not short of money at all."

For Stark, this is also a special experience, a mouse wants to bribe a billionaire with money in exchange for freedom.

Peter Pettigrew was not sure if Stark was an Auror. He thought it was unlikely that the Auror would not come to him, so it had something to do with Sirius.It is indeed a good idea to use cats to catch mice. Pettigrew Peter is always wary of Crookshanks. He is already familiar with its smell, but he didn't expect that Sirius could change other cats: "What do you lack? , I swear, I can fulfill any wish of yours, really, I have been a mouse for 12 years and have been to many places."

"I'm missing a truth." Stark said with his small steps, oblivious to the fact that the sky was completely bright. "A truth from 12 years ago, so I'm going to bring you to someone who can restore the truth."

"12 years ago, no, no, who were you?" Peter Pettigrew struggled a few times, but Stark's fangs were completely buried in his fur, and Peter Pettigrew couldn't get out of the cat's mouth at all.

"Who am I, that's a good question." Stark held the mouse triumphantly, like a real cat ready to claim credit from its master, "I'm Iron Man."

Pettigrew Peter was a little unclear, so: "You are Iron Man? I have never heard of this wizard family, but you must have caught the wrong person. I am not the murderer you are looking for. It is Sirius Black. He is 12 years old. He killed a whole street of Muggles before, and he tried to kill me."

"Then why aren't you dead yet?" Stark said contemptuously, "And, how did you know that I was looking for a murderer, and that murderer happened to be yours?" At this moment, he suddenly realized something, Stark stopped, he glanced at the window, it was dawn, and now he didn't feel anything about night and day.

More and more sounds came into Stark's ears, the voices of children talking, and the sound of footsteps, noisy.Stark quickened his pace, and he ran, but he was a little out of breath after running for a long time.His physical strength had obviously been lost during the previous pursuit, and Stark had spent hours dealing with the treacherous stairs, and he almost fell.

Stark was a little out of breath, but he kept going at a faster pace as much as possible, before being discovered by the students.

"I escaped from that murderer, you must be sent by Black, right, I believe you have a compassionate heart, Iron Man." He thought it was Stark's name, "You won't Is it right to watch innocent people die at his hands?" Peter Pettigrew said eagerly, "Black came for Harry Potter, if he knew I was still alive, he would definitely kill me .”

"Iron Man does have a compassionate heart." He said indifferently, "although most people think my heart may be made of iron."

Pettigrew felt like he had encountered a mentally disturbed cat, or person: "Where are you taking me now?" He cautiously asked a well-known question.

"What a coincidence, I just want to bring you to your old friends. One of them is the killer you mentioned. You will be very excited to see them. Believe me, the animal festival." Stark happily Said that he was extremely happy that he finally completed the task.

"No!" Peter Pettigrew struggled a few more times, which directly caused his back to be bitten tightly by Stark's fangs, as if it was about to break, "They will kill me, they will kill me!" Me!" Peter Pettigrew was frightened, he didn't care about the danger of being discovered, and his body began to change.First a head, then limbs, Peter Pettigrew gradually regained his human body.

It wasn't until Stark could no longer hold the growing mouse in his mouth that he had to spit it out.

They all expected Peter Pettigrew to have such a trick, but they didn't consider how Stark would send a notice if the little bat was not there.Stark is not afraid of the changes in front of him, he is used to the changes, at least Peter Pettigrew is good for getting bigger, he can't get into small gaps, Stark can't catch him, but he will also be caught The surrounding oil paintings are clearly visible.

Stark arched his back, and all his hair stood up. Although the man in front of him was short, he was tall enough for a cat.

Peter Pettigrew's hair was unkempt and thinning, with a large area of ​​baldness on the top of his head, which must have been the result of malnutrition from being a mouse for so long.His appearance is no different from that of a mouse. His two front teeth protrude outwards, his pointed nose and small eyes are also characteristics of a mouse. His 12-year career as a mouse has not only affected him in terms of health.

Peter Pettigrew's skin looked dirty, almost the same color as the mouse's fur, and Stark was disgusted that he had bitten such a dirty thing.

Peter Pettigrew glanced at Stark with some surprise, the cat didn't turn into a human, which gave him time to escape.

But before he had time to think about why the cat named "Iron Man" didn't immediately turn into a human to hunt him down, he saw three boys walking towards him not far away. He recognized the color of their scarves. Leitlin's.So Sirius had to turn back into a mouse again.

Stark quickly grabbed him again, and pinned Peter Pettigrew to the ground with his sharp claws: "You should stay in shape, man, if it was me, but unfortunately, you missed opportunity."

Stark suddenly felt his body stiffen as if turned into stone, and he looked like a freeze-frame picture that was pressed the pause button.Immediately afterwards, his body was suspended in the air, and Stark watched helplessly as his prey scurried into the cave under the wall.

It must have been a burrow made by a real rat.

"Look who this is." The blond-haired little boy said in his haughty tone, and he turned Stark's face towards himself, "It's ugly." Draco Malfoy took his two followers, Gray Gregoyle and ViCrabbe were getting ready for breakfast when he noticed Stark from a distance.He was supposed to go up the stairs directly to the Slytherin dining area, but Draco changed his mind when he saw Stark.

"You don't look good, boy, put me down, do you know what you just did, you let a murderer go!" Stark couldn't move, he stared into his eyes, and could only make a sound "Meow", "I swear I'm going to kick you out of school, you pointy-jawed idiot."

"Never mind the cat, Malfoy," said Goyle, a chubby lad with a round belly, "it's almost too late for breakfast, our first class is with Professor Snape, it's too late .”

"Shut up, Goyle." Draco said to him viciously, "Didn't you see that this is Professor Lillian's cat."

"So?" Gal said, "You mean, Professor Lillian is around here?"

"No, you idiot." Draco smiled evilly at Stark, "I'm going to hide the cat so she can't find it."

"why?"

The two followers asked at the same time.

Draco sneered: "She said something bad to my father, I'm going to teach her a lesson, and her cat happened to be here."

Just as he was talking, the wand in Draco's hand was snatched away by a bat. Stark lost control of his magic and fell to the ground. .Stark ran to the place where Pettigrew Peter got into the crack of the wall just now, and stretched out his claws to dig in vigorously, even though he felt sure that he couldn't get anything out.

"Where's the bat?" Clapper said, his responses seeming a little slow.

"Give me your wand." Draco quickly took Crabbe's wand from his pocket, and hit the bat with a single blow.

It was a merciless, even ferocious attack spell, and the spell hit the little bat abruptly.It couldn't dodge, they were too close, and the little bat was more concerned about Stark's movements than Draco.Its pair of wings were all scorched, and sparks were emitting from the roots. The little bat fell heavily from mid-air to the ground.

"Oh, God!" Stark jumped to the little bat and hissed at Draco, "I remember you, brat!" He jumped up the steps with the little bat's neck in his mouth, and quickly left the scene .

"This is Professor Lillian's bat." Goyle said suddenly, "I've seen it, she occasionally used it as a prop in class." He looked at Draco and said, "You injured Professor Lillian's pet, Malfoy, you're going to suffer." He looked at him in horror, and quickly took a step aside, as if wanting to distance himself from this matter.

Draco was obviously also frightened, his face was paler than before, he probably didn't expect that the spell just now could hit the bat, and what he didn't expect was that the cat and the bat were raised by the same person: "Still stunned What are you doing, bring them back to me!" Draco picked up his wand from the ground and chased after Stark.

"Are you going to apologize?" Goyle and Crabbe followed closely behind.

"Kill them, of course!" Draco said, "or the three of us will die!"

Ma Linglong handed over her morning class to Lu Ping. She came to the dormitory area of ​​Gryffindor and said the fat woman's password correctly. She first searched around the rest area of ​​the boys' dormitory and called Si Tucker's name.Then they rushed into the boys' dormitory, but at this time, none of the boys were naked. They were wearing black wizard robes, holding books and preparing to go to class.

"Professor Lillian!"

The boys were surprised to see the teacher of their first class appear here, and for a moment, they thought that the class location had been temporarily adjusted.

Ron's expression was a little awkward.

"Ron, where's your mouse?" Ma Linglong beckoned to the other students, telling them to leave quickly.

He boldly replied: "It was taken away by your cat. I don't understand why that cat would do that to Scabber. Scabber has been with me for several years. I lost him half an hour ago."

Although it is natural for cats to catch mice, pets at Hogwarts are usually affected by magic, and they can more or less restrain their instincts. It is very common for mice and cats to coexist peacefully.This is where Ron can't figure it out. In his opinion, Scabbers is a good mouse. It is quiet, doesn't bite wood, and doesn't make noise. He doesn't understand why his mouse is always missed by the cat.

Stark successfully caught Peter Pettigrew, and Marringlon saw it from the Marauder's Map, because Peter Pettigrew's trajectory changed significantly, as if after a fierce chase, he was finally defeated .Although Stark took a lot of time, but he succeeded, Ma Linglong was not surprised by this, she had so much confidence in Stark.

She and the other two men watched Peter Pettigrew's name getting closer and closer to them, and Sirius almost couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, so he jumped out and tore him apart.

In order to calm down Sirius, Lupine decided to meet Stark halfway, but he didn't wait for Stark, let alone the mouse.At this time, Ma Linglong walked out of the office with a nervous expression. She only said to him, "Help me substitute for the class", and left in a hurry.

And Sirius was locked in Ma Linglong's office and couldn't go anywhere. Lupine really hoped that no one would notice that the wanted criminal was banging on the door before he came back from class.

Harry saw the roll of parchment in Ma Linglong's hand, and he wanted to ask a question, but Ma Linglong turned his head away in a second.

"Does she mean she's going to pay me for a new pet?" Ron asked Harry.

"But she gave you a new wand." Harry said, he felt a little strange, but couldn't tell, Harry always felt that there was something wrong with the mouse and the cat.

"It's two different things," said Ron. "Scabby is like my friend."

"After class, let's go find it together."

"I can't find it." Ron said despondently and plaintively. "It must have been eaten. The cat was fat like a ball. I've never seen such a fat cat. It must have eaten mice."

Because Ma Linglong saw through the Marauder's Map that Draco's name was gradually approaching Peter Pettigrew, she had a bad feeling, so she immediately left the office and ran in that direction. She didn't have time to say anything, but at least it was Remember to lock up the "mad dog" to prevent him from going out to "bite people".

Ma Linglong really hoped that she could use apparation at this time, she could immediately go to Stark's side to rescue him, but she couldn't, Hogwarts didn't allow apparation or apparition, she could only run.

Ma Linglong first went to the boys' dormitory in Gryffindor. She prayed that Stark would return to this place after encountering danger, at least Draco would not be so stupid as to approach Gryffindor's territory.

Peter Pettigrew apparently escaped. He had disappeared from the map a few minutes ago, which meant that he ran outside the teaching building. This was no longer Ma Linglong's concern.Because Stark didn't come back, and the little bat didn't bring any good or bad news, it meant that the two of them were in trouble, and the source of the trouble might be related to the young master of the Malfoy family.

Snape didn't like being interrupted by anyone, especially when he was talking about vital steps and there was absolutely no distraction.

"I'm in class." Snape said coldly to Ma Linglong who broke into the classroom.

Ma Linglong saw Draco at a glance, the boy's expression changed obviously, he was afraid.

Snape obviously also noticed who Ma Linglong's eyes fell on, and he didn't want his favorite student to make any mistakes: "What happened?" Snape said, and then said to the students, " Continuing with the experiment just now, none of you succeeded, so what are you still doing?"

The students were forced to lower their heads, but raised their eyes from time to time, with an expression of watching a play.

Ma Linglong would not break into any teacher's class for no reason, not once, so Snape guessed that something special must have happened.He stopped the experiment in his hand, walked slowly to Draco's side, pretended to be casually standing in front of the boy, trying to block Ma Linglong's anger for him.

Ma Linglong stepped forward and said to Snape, "Get out of the way."

"You haven't explained why you're here."

"I don't need to tell you." Ma Linglong looked at Draco, she saw the fear in the boy's eyes, "Come with me."

Draco shot Snape a distressed look.

"I will not allow students to be taken from my class for no reason," Snape said slowly. "I believe Mr. Malfoy has the right to the entire class."

Ma Linglong waved her arm, and she didn't even take out her wand. Immediately, the table in front of Draco flew up, and then with a light grip, she sucked the boy over.

Half the Slater students and the other half Hufflepuff students sat in the Potions class, and they were all stunned by the scene before them, and some students screamed.Being scolded by Snape, she grabbed Malfoy's shoulders, trying to free him from Ma Linglong's grasp.

"At least give me a reason." Snape's tone was still slow and indifferent, as if he didn't really care about what was going on in front of him, but that was not the case, Snape was already holding his wand tightly in his hand.

"Cats, bats, mice." Ma Linglong said to him in a voice so low that it seemed to come from hell, "We succeeded."

Snape realized almost instantly what Ma Linglong meant. He could clearly feel Draco's body trembling: "You can't hurt the students." Snape said, other than that , he may not be able to stop Ma Linglong's next behavior, unless he wants to fight Ma Linglong on the spot.

"If the cat and the bat don't get hurt," Ma Linglong said, "then he won't."

Goyle stood up: "Professor Lillian, we didn't know it was your pet!" His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear, Goyle might have tried to save Draco, but he was a bit self-defeating .

"Idiot!" Draco snapped, and now he couldn't even pretend to be innocent, because that would mean he knew who the animal he hurt belonged to.

Snape rolled his eyes. "Sit down," he barked at Goyle.

Ma Linglong dragged Draco and walked towards the door: "Continue with your class, Snape, I have a sense of proportion."
