Felix sorted out the information currently known

. "From what happened today, we can know that Sirius Black's first target was not Harry, but Ron Weasley. Could it be that the Ministry of Magic made a mistake from the beginning?" "

But it doesn't make sense. When Black was imprisoned twelve years ago, Ron was only one year old... Is it a personal grudge, a grudge from the previous generation?"

Felix recalled Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley, whom he met at the Leaky Cauldron. They gave him the impression that they were very friendly and enthusiastic wizards, except that they had too many children.

"No, my thinking is biased. If Black had a grudge against the Weasleys, he could have found them directly. The Weasley family does not have the dual protection of Dementors and Hogwarts."

"So, Ron Weasley is the key!"

Felix tried to recall what characteristics this student had. Apart from the amazing courage he showed in the Chamber of Secrets, he was quite normal afterwards. The homework he handed in had obvious signs of patchwork, and he didn't seem to be very smart...

I'm getting off topic.

He focused on Ron Weasley's life and social circle, from his friends, parents, brothers, and the sister who was briefly bewitched by Voldemort's Horcrux. Naturally, he thought of Ron's pet Scabbers.

If Ron was not Black's real target, then the only suspicious point about him, or the living thing, was his pet rat Scabbers.

"Rat, tsk!" Felix sighed, "I wouldn't doubt it at ordinary times, but since Black has concealed the fact that he is an Animagus, will this rat be the same? Or is it a victim of a curse?" Felix pondered for

a moment, and he was still inclined to believe that the rat was an Animagus, rather than being subjected to some vicious forced transformation, which can be seen from Black's repeated attacks on Hogwarts regardless of danger.

"Black must hate that rat to death."

Felix felt a little tricky. Although the above ideas are all based on assumptions and reasoning, it has to be said that the possibility is very high.

In fact, if Scabbers was a victim of malicious transformation, it would be fine. After finding it, he could be sent to St. Mungo's for treatment. But if it was an illegal Animagus, it meant that it could turn back into a wizard at any time. The problem was: he couldn't tell whether it was an enemy or a friend.

"He might be hiding from his enemies, or he might have to hide his identity because of something. But..." Felix felt a huge sense of absurdity in his heart. "Yes, if he really wanted to hide, he could choose to avoid the magic world. A wizard could live a very comfortable life. But he didn't. Instead, he wronged himself, hid in a wizard family, and disguised himself as a pet mouse. This is definitely not a good intention."

The reason he could think of was that this wizard didn't want to cut off contact with the magic world. Mr. Weasley worked in the Ministry of Magic, which just happened to meet his requirements.

At this point, he had almost made a basic judgment that the mouse was probably not a good person. When they met, he would first cast a Stunning Spell on it and knock it down. At that time, whether to extract information or inject truth serum depended on its true identity. As for Sirius Black...

"It's hard to say. The enemy of a bad guy is not necessarily a good guy. The reality is too complicated. Moreover, Black escaped from me twice... Although there were reasons for each time, it's not a good feeling to be led by the nose."

Felix always thought that Black was not very smart. Snape, who was involved in the incident, said he was stupid, Lupin said he was impulsive, and Professor McGonagall said he was lively. The Fat Lady did not give any evaluation, but directly revealed a lot of his "adventures" and "great achievements" when he was in school. Some ideas are really not something that a normal person can think of.

"He was very smart this time and seized the Christmas holiday. If it weren't for Harry's strength, he might have succeeded."

Next, Felix did two things.

The first thing was that he went to the nest of the Forbidden Forest Acromantula.

The Forbidden Forest was covered with thick snow. Felix was wearing a dark cloak. When his figure appeared in a sunken open space, there was a clattering sound around him.

This open space was also dyed white by the snow, and only the hemispherical spider web nest in the center was conspicuous enough.

"Gok, come out and see me." Felix sent his voice into the spider web nest.

Snowflakes fell, and several eight-eyed giant spiders slowly walked out from it.

Gok has become the new king of this group of spiders. He occupies the best position in the center of the group. Surrounded by several large spiders, he looks a bit like a king.

"Wizard." Gok said irritably: "What's the matter?"

"This is not the attitude to have a conversation, Gok, have you forgotten what I said?"

Gok's body froze, "I don't mean anything else, I was just hibernating."

"Will the eight-eyed giant spider hibernate?" Felix asked curiously, will someone catch a few eight-eyed giant spiders or extract venom while they are hibernating?

"Winter makes us uncomfortable, so we try to stay in the cave and rarely go out." Gok explained, "But we are not completely ignorant of the outside world. I am out now."

Felix nodded: "I heard that you can control the spiders in the Forbidden Forest?" From his perspective, there are many fist-sized spiders crawling on the white spider webs, snow, and dead leaves.

"They hibernate, and many of them can't survive this winter. What you see is the young spider of the Acromantula, and the thick hair on its body can resist ice and snow." Gok said, waving his big claws.

"I just need some smart helpers." Felix raised his lips, "Listen, Gok, I need you to find a big black dog or a stranger in the Forbidden Forest. It may have a fixed place to stay, such as an abandoned beast cave. You don't need to do anything after you find it. Remember the location and contact me."

Gok thought for a long time and said, "I can only let the spiderling go out. Our size is too obvious and will attract the counterattack of the centaurs."

"Okay." Felix agreed. Before leaving, he gave Gok a barrel of sherry. It was left over from the Christmas gift to Trelawney, which was not to his taste.

"It's a belated gift, Gok."

The second thing, he went to the school hospital and asked Ron about some information about the mouse. Scabbers was actually inherited from his brother Percy.

"How long has it been in your house?"

"It's been a few years," Ron said in confusion.

"Be more specific?" Felix asked in a persuasive manner, "How old were you when you became aware of its existence? Five or six, seven or eight?"

According to his guess, since it was Percy Weasley's pet, seven years was a reasonable time. Considering that the Weasleys were an orthodox wizarding family, it might have been one or two years earlier.

Ron pondered, "I think my mother mentioned it. It should be when Percy was five or six years old. One morning, he found Scabbers and immediately decided to keep it. Mom was not optimistic because it looked like an ordinary mouse, and it was missing a toe. But Percy rarely got angry, crying and making a fuss, so mom had to agree to him. This is Percy's dark history, and he doesn't want to tell anyone."

Ron grinned and pulled the wound on his leg.

"An ordinary mouse, missing a toe..." Felix repeated softly, and he said with admiration: "So, Scabbers lived for at least eleven or twelve years? I remember that ordinary mice usually live for more than three years." "

This is the Nick Flamel among mice."
