    On the one hand, it was the peak of the day, who plunged the entire magical world into turmoil for ten years. On the other hand, it was an aging wizard who could only take shelter at Hogwarts and do nothing. Who was stronger, it was clear at a glance. Peter had once been overjoyed at his wisdom, he seemed to have seen that he would have a life that everyone admired, more brilliant than his father's hero death.

    But what exactly is going on?

    How could an all-powerful black wizard be defeated by a weak baby who can't even walk?

    Peter had no time to think about such things. He had to get away as soon as possible, so he wouldn't end up like his irresponsible father who left behind an orphan and died in shame.

    Sirius Black had returned from the underworld to seek revenge, but this time, no one could shield him anymore!

    What should I do? Go back to the side of the dark wizard?

    It is said that the dark wizard did not die, but was as weak as Peter hiding in the forests of Albania... What would it accomplish to go back to such a weak person?

    There's no time for hesitation; a decision must be made quickly.

    Black has a way to break through the powerful ancient magic and Dementors in Hogwarts, and safely infiltrate the castle...such fearless and talented people are always invincible...

    He will definitely continue to try and kill him, that is certain.

    It is no longer safe to stay by the little boy's side at the Weasley home, not just because of Black, but also because of another person, a... wizard far more terrifying than Black, who has returned to the castle.

    Amosaber Breen - another exceptional wizard.

    Following the little boy of the Weasley family, Peter heard a lot of valuable information about that young wizard.

    In the past half year, he learned from the three young wizards about what happened in the Slytherin's Chamber--Amosaber Breen had easily defeated a snake monster that had survived from the Slytherin era and, with his own hands, destroyed the dark wizard from his student days...

    At that time, Peter had clearly realized that this was a powerful wizard who could rival the peak-time Black Wizard and Albus Dumbledore in the future.

    Amosaber Breen was summoned back to Hogwarts by Dumbledore to take up the position of Head of Student Safety, and his main task at present was to capture Sirius Black.

    Peter didn't know whether Amosaber Breen could actually catch Black... No, if he was caught, it would only be more troublesome. The appearance of Amosaber Breen would only make the situation more dangerous.

    Peter hopes that Black would die directly at the hands of Dementors or magic strikes... This would be the best situation, as these two sides would not listen to any of Black's nonsense. They would attack Black to the death until he expires.

    But if Black fell into the hands of Amosaber Breen...

    Peter understands that his former friend is an exceptional wizard, but against a wizard as powerful as the Black Wizard and Albus Dumbledore when they were young, he will have no chance to fight back!

    Amosaber Breen will not kill Black, he is 'faithful' to Dumbledore, he will hand over Black to Dumbledore, and then, for Peter, the truly terrible thing will happen.

    Dumbledore will definitely try to find out why Black 'betrayed' Mr. and Mrs. Potter in the past...

    The truth will be revealed, everything will be clear!

    His life, the life he risked becoming a traitor and lived as a rat for twelve years to preserve, will be lost. Along with it will be lost the only thing he left for his mother, which is--her son and her husband are both heroes.

    Fake death to escape...

    He had done it before, now he could only do it again.

    But he cannot leave Hogwarts...

    In this way, he can learn the fate of Black in time, as long as Black doesn't fall into the hands of Amosaber Breen and Dumbledore, then he still has a chance to return to the little boy of the Weasley family...

    Continue to wait, if the dark wizard has been completely defeated, those true desperate madmen who are imprisoned in Azkaban have no room to turn around. He can continue to live in a place where nobody knows him, or if the dark wizard comes back, he can take Harry Potter's tribute to the dark wizard...

    In either case, he could live well.

    If... could defeat you...

    Doing the disguise, when the moment of slipping out of the dormitory through the bars, when the pale and icy moonlight fell on him, Peter Petunia stared at the dark forest with a look of endless hatred in his eyes!

    ..........

    The temperature in early November had already become quite cold, no one would want to linger in the open corridor, after the feast, with the headmaster accompanying them, the little wizards rushed out of the hall like a torrent, Slytherin and Hufflepuff went to the basement, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor headed for the tower, they all headed for their own common room.

    Although discussing Professor Breen and his new title is indeed interesting, for some little wizards, the more urgent task is to complete the homework they need to hand in tomorrow.

    "I'll go help Peeves take his medicine today, Harry, and then... Snape's old bat's essay on charm confusion--"

    Ron stood at the foot of the stairs in his dormitory and gave Harry a glance. Harry, receiving the signal, hesitated for a moment, but finally slowly approached Hermione, who was busy with his homework after class.

    Cough cough--

    Because of Peeves and Kruskal's conflict, Harry has never felt so embarrassed about borrowing homework from Hermione. He stood beside Hermione, who was buried in her calculations, coughed twice on purpose.

    "Oh, what is it?"

    Her face looked thin and pale, and her eyes were a bit blurry. Hermione suddenly snapped out of it, as if she had just woken up.

    "I'm trying to persuade you--"

    Seeing her in this state, Harry couldn't bring himself to voice his real request. He pulled a three-legged stool and sat down, looking at the messy desk and the sprawling arithmetic divination essay still wet with ink on it. Hesitating for a moment, he picked up Hermione's essay and began to study the complex numerical charts on it with great seriousness.

    "Why don't you give up on this and let yourself rest?"

    A little dizzy, Harry lowered the chart and frowned, saying,

    "This thing doesn't seem to be of much use, does it?"

    "Doesn't do anything, you mean the divination essay?"

    Hermione looked very angry.

    "This subject is very fascinating and its use is greater than you might imagine, Harry. If you want to become a master alchemist like Professor Dumbledore, or a potion brewer like Bill... Ron's brother, you must be good at this class!"

    Harry was very fortunate that people didn't expect the Quidditch star to be proficient in this subject, otherwise, he would have to change his dream.

    "After all, you must let yourself rest, Hermione,"

    Although Harry thought that Ron had a stronger point of view regarding the conflict with Peeves, that didn't mean Hermione wasn't his best friend.

    "You can't handle so many subjects at the same time, Hermione... Even Malfoy took a break today to visit Professor Breen, but you were busy with these papers during dinner... If you can't bear to give up arithmetic divination, in my opinion, it's also a good choice to give up Professor Burbage's Muggle study since you grew up in a Muggle family.”

    "You don't understand, Harry," Hermione stubbornly shook her head, "I find Professor Burbage's class very interesting. I never thought that studying Muggles from a wizard's perspective could be so fascinating, it--"

    What makes Professor Burbage's Muggle study class so interesting, Harry may never know, because at that moment, a muffled shriek was heard from the stairs of the boys' dormitory. The whole common room's attention was focused on Ron, who was dragging a sheet behind him.

    "Now you're happy!!"

    Seeing the bloodstained sheet and Ron twirling a strand of yellowish cat hair, confused Hermione, she began to shake all over.
