There was a creaking sound from the snow.
Peter wanted to see who was attacking him, but the piercing pain blurred his vision.
Looking at the pale-skinned Peter Pettigrew on the ground, Lucas put down his wand.
In an instant, Pettigrew's pale complexion returned to rosy as he lay on the ground panting.
Moving his head to look up along the hem of the wizard's robe, he finally saw his attacker.
"Lucas Grindelwald!"
"Oh? If you know me, that's easier!"
Lucas squatted in front of Peter, gently brushing the other's messy hair with his wand.
"Peter, I'd like to ask you to do me a favor and lure Sirius to the Shrieking Shack, what would you like?"
"No, no, Sirius will kill me."
Peter's head shook like a rattle.
Lucas tapped Peter's head with his wand and said, "Peter, we have the same goal, and we both want to deal with Sirius."
"Think about how those "friends" of yours treated you when you were in school, Wormtail? What kind of friend would give such an ugly nickname to someone he considers a friend."
"It's no wonder you betrayed James Potter. If it were me, I would make the same choice as you."
"So, let's work together, lure Sirius to the Shrieking Shack, and I'll fix everything, while you continue to live your life incognito."
"Think about it, that irascible guy who bullied you will be sent back to Azkaban, and even sentenced to the dementor's kiss."
"In the future, your secret will never be known by anyone, and I can even let you personally accuse them of their evil deeds against you, how about it?"
"Peter, think about it, did they really regard you as a friend?"
Pettigrew seems to be stuck in a past memory, so Lucas took this opportunity to use Legilimency on him.
It really wasn't much different from his guess.
"Peter, let me help you, let's get revenge on Sirius and Lupin, okay?"
"good!"
Seeing Peter Pettigrew's ruthless face, Lucas smiled silently, he didn't expect this guy to be so easy to fool.
While Peter was not paying attention, he took out a bottle of potion and poured most of it into Peter's mouth.
"This, what is this?"
"For insurance, I need to have some insurance. This is Professor Snape's unique poison."
Seeing the rat-like face of Peter showing an expression of fear, Lucas patted his shoulder.
"Don't worry, as long as you do what I say, I'll give you the antidote when it's over."
"Of course, you don't have to believe me, but it's been three years since we first met, who I am, you should know better than your stupid master, right?"
Pettigrew nodded apprehensively.
Just at this time, a few dogs barked in the distance.
"Why don't you turn into a rat and leave soon, is it possible that you want to be caught by Sirius right now?"
Peter didn't think much, changed into Scabbers, and quickly disappeared into the woods.
Lucas also casts the Disillusionment Charm on himself.
After a while, Sirius ran past him.
Stretching his waist, Lucas walked step by step.
After checking the time, he realized it was time for his appointment with Dumbledore.
He was wondering what the old man wanted to discuss with him this time.
…
In Hogsmeade
Harry and Ron along with Lavender also visited the village.
The three finally arrived at the Three Broomsticks.
Ron pointed to the beautiful busty woman at the door and said, "That's Ms. Rosmerta, a very attractive woman, everyone loves her."
His words caused Lavender to roll her eyes.
From the looks of it, she hated Ron complimenting other women in front of her.
At this time, a sleigh was approaching from afar.
Sitting on the sled was Fudge, the Minister for Magic.
"Oh~ Rosmerta, has your business been doing well recently?"
Rosmerta held a hammer in her hand and walked towards Fudge with an unfriendly expression.
"Because of that bastard Sirius and your dementors, the guests always leave early and I have lost a lot of money."
"So, when will your aurors catch Sirius?"
Looking at the hammer swinging back and forth in front of him, Minister Fudge backed away again and again.
"Right away, right away, I'm here today to discuss this with Dumbledore."
As soon as Fudge finished speaking, he was patted by Professor McGonagall who rushed over.
Only then did he realize that he had slipped his mouth, but Rosmerta, who still didn't understand what's going on, was jointly pushed into the bar by Professor McGonagall and Minister Fudge.
"Dumbledore coming too?"
Harry's voice came from inside the cloak.
"Yes, that's what Minister Fudge said just now, and he also said that he would discuss the capture of Sirius Black."
Harry, who was determined to catch Sirius himself, thought that this was a great opportunity to collect some information.
He has an invisibility cloak after all, so sneaking into the bar to eavesdrop on the conversation of Dumbledore and others he should not be found.
Making up his mind, he walked towards the Three Broomsticks.
When Ron found out what he was, he had already walked to the door of the bar.
Ron followed the footprints.
It's a pity that he was blocked by a shrunken head hanging at the door of the bar.
Harry had never seen such a noisy and chaotic bar.
There was choking smoke all over the place and the crowded round tables were full of adult wizards.
Thanks to Rosmerta's charm, this is the way it is most of the time.
Many people come here to order a butterbeer after work, then talk loudly with their companions or anyone they find at the bar until dark.
Harry under the cloak carefully avoided the crowd and followed Professor McGonagall and the other two to a room on the second floor.
Looking at the closed door, he mustered up his courage and pushed it away.
The people inside didn't notice, thinking that the door was blown open by the wind.
Rosmerta stepped forward to close the door and asked, "Where's Dumbledore?"
"He said he was waiting for a friend," Professor McGonagall replied.
"Is there anyone else coming?" Rosmerta asked curiously.
Professor McGonagall said with a smile, "Not one, but two, three people including Dumbledore."
"Then I'd better ask someone to prepare more refreshments."
She left the room to do just that.
Professor McGonagall looked at Minister Fudge on the sofa.
"Minister, what are you going to do about the dementors entering the campus?"
"Oh Professor McGonagall, I'm having a really bad headache right now. I don't know who sold this information to the newspaper."
"Many newspapers have published the dementors' invasion of the Hogwarts quidditch game, and now I have to deal with countless howlers every day."
Minister Fudge patted his forehead, he hated the bastard who took the photo.
Seeing that Professor McGonagall was still staring at him, he sighed helplessly: "I have asked the dementors to retreat outside the school, and it should be fine now."
"Besides, didn't Mr. Grindelwald kill more than a dozen dementors this time? That's amazing, no one has ever been able to kill a dementor."
Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement, she also never imagined that her students would manage to do something like that.
The expressions of the two were quite emotional, which made Harry, who was hiding aside, feel very uncomfortable.
Especially Professor McGonagall.
As Head of Gryffindor House, she praised a Slytherin student. This made Harry speechless, he just couldn't believe it.
But he was more curious about who Dumbledore was waiting for.
To make Dumbledore take it so seriously, and even go to greet him in person, must be someone very powerful.
Therefore, he was very much looking forward to that mysterious man he had never seen before.
…
As soon as Lucas walked out of the woods, he saw Dumbledore and Professor Snape standing in the distance looking at him.
"Headmaster, Professor Snape, Merry Christmas, did you like the presents I gave you?"
Professor Snape's snort answered Lucas, because Lucas gave him a bottle of shampoo.
It also says oil-removing and dandruff-removing.
When Snape received the gift, he almost smashed his room to pieces.
Dumbledore smiled contentedly.
"I liked it very much, although I have had many wool socks, but you can never have too many and you're so considerate every time."
Of course there is a lot of care, those are wool socks used by Gellert Grindelwald after all, they even have the other person's name embroidered on it!
As for the gifts Lucas received.
Dumbledore is still a book, this time it's not good.
It is a book that persuades people to correct evil and return to righteousness.
The two smiled tacitly.
Ron, who had been squatting at the door at this time, saw the three of them coming from a distance.
When seeing Lucas walking side by side with Dumbledore, his expression was indescribably ugly.
"Harry, I hope you're okay in there" He whispered.
As soon as the words fell, Ron saw them walk into the bar.
…
The room on the second floor.
Overhearing Professor McGonagall chatting with Minister Fudge about unimportant matters, Harry was very impatient.
At this moment, Rosmerta pushed the door and walked in.
"Dumbledore is coming."
As soon as these words came out, all eyes in the room turned to the door.
Harry stared at the door even more closely, he wanted to see who Dumbledore invited!.
