"It's really Sirius Black, Black! Go inform the Minister!"

    The Ministry of Magic's examiner, upon seeing the large black dog transform into Sirius Black, ordered others to go to Hogwarts' fireplace and notify the Minister as quickly as possible.

    And Dumbledore approached George to ask:

    "What's going on over there? Why is Remus captured?"

    He wasn't surprised that George could control Sirius, after all, he knew George's true strength.

    However, he was unclear why George would attack Lupin.

    "Humph, there's no need for explanations. Clearly, Remus has colluded with Sirius and George attacked him. I say, how could Sirius enter the school twice? It must have been Remus who let him in."

    Snape, seeing Lupin suspended in the air by George's inverted Golden Snitch created by himself, Sirius unconscious, and his prideful student causing trouble, felt a surge of delight.

    Thinking back to when he himself had been played by these very people, now that they had been easily defeated by his student, it was as if he had avenged himself on their misdeeds.

    And he had always been against Dumbledore allowing Lupin, a dangerous werewolf, to teach at Hogwarts. He had also suspected that Lupin was helping Sirius Black enter the school.

    But Dumbledore did not believe his words.

    So when he saw this scene, he immediately knew that he had guessed right.

    "You're mistaken, Severus. Sirius was not here to kill Harry."

    Although Lupin couldn't move, he could still speak.

    "Just as he was saying half of it, George interrupted him:"

    "Let me explain it, it's like this."

    George, with the utmost brevity, recounted the whole story from his perspective.

    "All of this is just a lie to deceive you kids."

    Severus, with his prejudice against Lupin and Sirius, was clearly unwilling to believe their words.

    The Ministry of Magic examiner was similarly inclined:

    "He's just trying to shift the blame onto himself. Please hand Sirius over to the Ministry of Magic for us to deal with, and also, Professor Lupin, he has committed the crime of aiding and abetting Sirius in escape. We request to take him into custody for questioning."

    "Hold on, if they were just trying to deceive, then why did they waste time explaining so much after their wands were confiscated? Why not just attack directly?"

    If Sirius' goal was to kill Harry, then that would have been the best time to act.

    "They don't know that George can cast spells without a wand."

    Wise Dumbledore, recognizing the crucial point, intervened and stopped the several Ministry of Magic examiners who were about to make arrests.

    The others fell into thought upon hearing this, for the statement indeed held merit.

    "In fact, there's no need to worry so much. It's quite simple. As long as we find Patch, verify that it's Peeves, then it will be clear whether they are lying or not."

    George looked at Ron:

    "Where's your Patronus?"

    "It bit me when you flew off and then it disappeared."

    Ron scratched his head and replied.

    George nodded in agreement, without showing any surprise.

    "That's fine. Then let me find out where he is."

    The group watched as George waved his hand, and four sheets of paper of different colors floated into the air, forming a magical pattern.

    "Four Truths!"

    "This is the tracking spell George invented? He is truly a genius."

    The professors, seeing George perform a new magic that they couldn't understand, all launched into praise mode.

    In fact, just when they had heard George was not only overpowering Sirius but also casting spells without a wand to defeat Lupin, they had already been shocked several times.

    "Found it. It's outside the school and moving west at a fast pace."

    After finding Peeves' location through the Four Truths spell, George turned to Dumbledore and said:

    "If Patch is indeed Peter Peeves, then once he escapes the school's Anti-Apparition range, he can use Apparition to escape and will be difficult to find again. I can still fly there in time now."

    "Then thank you, be careful."

    Dumbledore nodded, knowing that George would be fine even if Peeves was indeed Peter Peeves, as he knew that George was not Peeves' match.

    With Dumbledore's agreement, George flapped his wings and roared as he chased after Peeves in the direction he was fleeing.

    Peeves was within the range of the Hogwarts Anti-Apparition charm, which prevented him from using Apparition. He didn't have a broomstick and couldn't fly with magic, so he could only flee at the speed of a mouse.

    However, as a mouse, he had excellent camouflage. As long as he managed to escape to outside the castle, it would be difficult for anyone to find him again.

    "It's okay. They can't find me. They won't be able to catch me. Damn, why did you have to escape? I was forced into it. I didn't want to kill James. I just didn't want to die."

    He ran as fast as he could in the direction away from the castle, still complaining to himself.

    When he was captured by the Dark Lord, the Dark Lord's strength made him terrified. He didn't want to die, so he became a spy for the Dark Lord. Later, he accidentally became a secret keeper and killed his best friend James.

    To avoid being pursued, he framed Sirius and faked his death to escape. But he was afraid of retaliation from the Dark Lord's followers, so he lived as a mouse in the sewers to avoid detection.

    He didn't want to sever his ties with the magical world and wanted to keep up with the movements of the Dark Lord and the magical community so that he could adapt accordingly.

    So he approached the Weasley family and spent twelve years as a pet.

    He had lived a relatively safe life as a pet. However, he hadn't expected Sirius to escape from Azkaban.

    "Hey, Patch, where are you going?"

    Just as he had managed to escape to the Black Lake outside and was nearing the Hogwarts Express station, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in his ear.

    "It's him. How did he follow me so quickly? He shouldn't be capturing Sirius, should he?"

    George's new magic could track Sirius, and therefore it could track him as well. That's why, after seeing George use the new magic to find Sirius' location, he immediately decided to leave Hogwarts.

    Sirius would reveal the events of that year if he was caught.

    Although he thought that no one would believe Sirius' story, if someone did believe him, and if George cast his tracking spell to find him, he would be in trouble.

    He believed that catching Sirius was not an easy task for George, and it could even result in being killed by him. And this time would definitely be enough for him to escape.

    However, he didn't expect George's speed to be so fast.

    "Trying to bite me again? Can you even bite?"

    George grabbed Patch by the tail and hoisted him up, and Patch bit down on George. George did not defend himself, allowing Patch to bite him.

    A shapeshifter mouse is stronger than a normal mouse, but still limited.

    With his current physical condition, even if Patch's teeth were broken, they could not puncture his skin.
