Chapter 332: “Bold Evildoer”
Jerry, if you werent so ordinary-looking, I would have thought you had the blood of a giant like Hagrid. Ron remarked, brushing off the snow from his body and pulling out his plump pet rat, Scabbers, from his pocket.
He checked that everything was fine with Scabbers and then turned to complain to Jerry.
Harry and Hermione nodded in agreement with Rons statement. They were amazed by Jerrys quick reflexes and agility during the snowball fight.Rread latest chapters at
In fact, Jerry had rolled a massive snowball that flew higher than any of theirs, scoring him a Home Run.
Jerry laughed at their comments and didnt provide an explanation. Instead, he looked at Scabbers in Rons hands with expressive eyes.
Ron, your pet seems to have recovered from its illness. It looks like it has gained quite a bit of weight! Jerry observed playfully.
Indeed! Since Halloween, Scabbers suddenly became energetic and developed a huge appetite. Its even fatter now than before it fell ill! Ron replied, holding up Scabbers proudly.
After returning from Egypt, Rons pet rat, Scabbers, seemed to fall ill during the summer vacation.
It refused to eat, shivered frequently, and kept losing weight, despite Rons attempts to use a rat booster from the Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley.
However, Scabbers miraculously recovered after Halloween, regained its appetite, and no longer showed any signs of illness.
It seemed to be enjoying its days sleeping in Rons pocket.
Be careful not to let him get too fat. Sirius Black has been captured and sent back to Azkaban, Jerry warned with a smile.
Jerry knew deep down that Scabbers had never been sick.
It was all a ruse. Scabbers, in fact, was Peter Pettigrew, an Animagus who had been hiding in Rons family for twelve years.
He had been afraid of Sirius Black finding him and had lived in constant fear, which explained his previous illness-like behavior.
Do you remember the spell I used to transform Sirius from his Animagus form back into his human form? Jerry suddenly asked the group as they prepared to leave.
However, his bewilderment didnt last long. As soon as he regained his senses, he turned around and sprinted toward the depths of the grove.
After all, he wasnt facing an ordinary wizard but a formidable opponent who had defeated Sirius alone without a scratch.
Without his wand, it was better to prioritize escape.
You may be swift on those short legs, but its futile! Jerry exclaimed, pointing his wand at Peter Pettigrew.
Petrificus Totalus! he incanted, casting a simple full-body immobilization spell that pinned Peter Pettigrew in place.
Confusion filled Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they tried to process the shocking revelation of Scabbers true identity.
Jerry, how did you know Scabbers was an Animagus? And why did you call him Peter Pettigrew? Wasnt Peter Pettigrew supposed to be dead for twelve years? Hermione inquired urgently.
Jerry motioned for the trio to approach the immobilized Peter Pettigrew and then retrieved the Marauders Map, handing it to them.
It all started with this Marauders Map that Fred and George gave me, Jerry began, explaining that he had spent significant time studying the maps magical properties.
He revealed that the map used detection magic and a touch of Legilimency to capture and display the name and location of every person in the castle.
The map could even detect invisible individuals or those in their Animagus form.
With this map, I discovered that Scabbers, or Peter Pettigrew, was masquerading as a rat, Jerry explained. And it seems that Pettigrews disappearance and death were not as they seemed.
The trio listened intently, absorbing the newfound knowledge about Scabbers true identity and the complex events surrounding Peter Pettigrews supposed demise.
Jerry had delved into the secrets of the Marauders Map, gaining a deeper understanding of its magic.
He had replicated the map based on the principles of detection and mind-reading, allowing him to track the movements and identities of those within the castle.
The Weasleys large clock, which displayed the location and status of each family member, shared similarities with the Marauders Map, further solidifying Jerrys comprehension of its enchantments.
