He caught up with her just outside the hospital doors. 'Tippy!' Behind him McGonagal's instructions faded. 'It is one, however, that I'm doing my utmost to set right. 'I admit that I made a most grievous mistake,' said Lucius. 'And why, Lucius Malfoy, would you care if he wasn't a Death Eater?' Not, at least, until measures can be put in place to prevent "accidents".' May I suggest that it might be better not to inform them just yet. 'You may well be unaware of this: the Ministry likes to bury its mistakes. 'Impossible!' She had become very, very pale. And now that I come to think about it, do you recall anything at all about a trial? I don't.' 'What really happened that day? Did Black betray the Potters? I, for one, always found it difficult to believe that he would do such a thing. 'Given what happened the last time Pettigrew was brought to bay.' 'You could not have afforded to let him reach the common room,' Lucius reassured her. McGonagall continued to stare at the spot where the animagus had met his end. Hopefully, we won't find anything else like that damned diary. 'I think it would be advisable to have all of the Weasley's things, Potter's too if he was staying with them, brought up to the hospital wing where they can be isolated and gone through thoroughly. 'Come along.' He propelled Weasley gently towards the stairs and received a shocked look before acquiescence. 'Madame Pomfrey will have something for that,' said Lucius, surreptitiously casting a cheering charm. Snape scowled at her and then continued down the stairs quite casually, tucking the box under his arm as he went. 'Professor Snape, you are not going to carry that through the Griffindor common room.' McGonagall gestured and the glass jar became a small wooden box. Weasley came out of the bathroom, glanced at the jar and ducked back in again. It had a long, worm-like tail and little human feet and was, quite clearly, dead.Īn expression of apparent serenity on his face, Severus ghosted down the stairs, conjured a large specimen jar and levitated Pettigrew's mortal remains, head first, into it before turning towards the light, the better to examine his acquisition. Halfway down lay something that resembled an old cushion, awkwardly attached to a recognisable, if rather shrunken, human head. On the landing at the bottom of the flight of stairs, Professor McGonagall rose to her human hight. Ronald Weasley, who had remained in the stairwell, lunged into the doorway opposite. Severus and Lucius collided and were momentarily jammed together in the doorway, just as the terrified squealing stopped. The rodent, closely pursued, shot from under the bed and out through the door. Lucius had drawn his wand but the 'Felix Felices' was suggesting, quite forcefully, that he didn't interfere. In a moment McGonagall had changed into her own animagus form and a silver-tabby cat gave chase. I suppose, thought Lucius, he did hit his head rather hard. Pettigrew looked up at her, looked at all of them and then flung himself forward, reverting as he did so: a rat dropped down behind the hangings and fled under the bed. Mumbling curses, still glowing slightly, Peter Pettigrew sat up, mutilated hand clutching balding pate. There was a solid sounding thump as the expanding animagus collided with the top of the bed. A hairless tail draped down over the sheets and four little paws and a nose stuck up from white linen. r/Arithmancy is now giving points! If you like puzzles, riddles, and the like, join Arithmancy!
