Outside the door of the principal’s office, Snape let go of Scott’s collar and stepped onto the stairs without saying a word.
The automatically running stairs began to carry him down.
Scott followed silently.
Snape didn’t speak, nor did he speak rashly.
For a while, the only sound I could hear was the sound of the stairs running.
The two quickly reached the third floor and returned to the corridor through the entrance and exit broken in the wall.
Snape glanced back at Scott.
He said coldly: “You should know how to keep your mouth shut, Mr. Trollope.”
“Of course, Professor Snape.” Scott nodded to show that he understood.
Snape looked at him again, snorted, and turned away.
Scott watched as his black robe billowed and floated away like a thick black mist.
It seemed that Snape was not in a bad mood, at least he did not pursue his own “self-initiated actions”.
But Scott is still very confident.
He thought that if he hadn’t called him “on his own initiative”, Snape wouldn’t be able to taste the sweet taste of revenge with his own hands.
Although Snape wanted to kill Peter with his own hands, Dumbledore stopped him.
But Scott always felt that he would do it again.
Judging from his usual behavior, Snape is also a very vengeful person.
Even if Peter is imprisoned in Azkaban, maybe Snape will find a way to kill him.
Thinking of this, Scott smacked his lips and went downstairs with a relaxed expression.
When he walked to the atrium, he looked up at the bright window of the principal’s office on the eighth floor and smiled silently.
Next, there will be nothing more to do with him.
Now that things have been discovered, if Dumbledore can still let Peter escape like Sirius and Lupine in the “original”, then Scott has nothing to say.
But when Scott wanted to return to the Ravenclaw Tower, he found a group of people waiting under the tower from a distance.
The five Weasley brothers and sisters, Harry and Hermione, and Scott’s three roommates.
Harry, who had been vomited all over by Ron, had already changed his clothes.
“This is really…”
Scott didn’t stop and walked directly in front of them.
“What are you doing?” he asked, pretending not to know.
“Scott.”
“You came.”
Fred and George rushed over immediately, standing beside him on the left and right, and put their hands on his shoulders.
Scott smiled and asked them, “Why are you here if you don’t go back to the Gryffindor common room?”
“You sneaked away earlier.”
“You were seen going to the Headmaster’s office with Snape!”
Fred and George asked pretending to be serious.
“What’s going on? What just happened? What did Snape do?”
“Tell us quickly, otherwise…”
Scott shook his head, “I was ordered by the professors not to say anything.”
Fred and George stared at him.
“Forget it, since Scott has been ordered by the professor, we shouldn’t ask again.” Hermione said.
Scott nodded and glanced at her appreciatively.
At this time, the serious Percy also spoke, “Let him go, Fred, George. Since Dumbledore said he would tell his parents, maybe we shouldn’t ask anymore.”
Scott nodded again and gave him an appreciative look.
There are times when characters like Hermione and Percy can assist.
“Come on, Hermione, Percy.” Ron said angrily, “Don’t say you don’t want to know.”
“I don’t want to know!” Hermione said firmly.
Percy hesitated.
Scott looked at his roommates, “Hey, are you just there watching Gryffindor bully me?”
Roger and Eddie smiled and said nothing. Only Milton seemed to be out of the situation.
Just then, an owl flew over and dropped a letter at Harry.
Harry quickly opened the letter and glanced at it.
“Hagrid wrote me back!” he said happily, “He really knows about Peter Pettigrew!”
Everyone looked at him quickly.
There was something strange about Harry’s expression.
“Oh… Hagrid didn’t answer the question about ‘Sirius Black’, but he said Peter was my dad’s good friend. Hagrid said Peter was a hero?”
He was surprised and continued reading the letter.
“My dad and he always played together when we were in school… There were four of us in total, and there were two Hagrids I didn’t mention…”
He collected the letter and couldn’t help but smile.
Harry seemed to be in a good mood because of the news about his father.
“Oh I haven’t met him yet, I mean… Peter.” Harry was a little excited, “Of course, when he was a mouse, I saw him every day.”
He didn’t notice that Ron’s face didn’t look good when he brought up this topic.
“Hero?” Ron snorted, “It doesn’t look like him! Harry, if you see him, you will be extremely disappointed.”
“I understand, Ron.”
Harry looked like he understood you and patted Ron’s shoulder comfortingly.
Ron looked angrier.
Harry was still eager to try.
He looked up at Scott, “Scott, you said…if I go to the principal’s office now, will Dumbledore allow me to go in? By the way, do you know the entrance code to the principal’s office?”
He looked like he couldn’t wait to meet his father’s best friend.
Scott looked at the pure joy in his eyes and sighed silently.
He looked at the Weasleys, “Dumbledore clearly told us to keep everything secret.”
“…”
The four Weasley brothers looked at the sky and the ground, but not at him.
“I don’t think there is anything to keep secret.” Harry said.
Scott said, “You’d better not go, Harry.”
Harry asked puzzled, “Why?”
Scott shook his head, “Peter has been a mouse for 12 years. He is already insane and can’t speak clearly.”
“I don’t mind. I just want to get to know him.” Harry smiled and said, “He should know a lot about my father.”
Scott said, “Secrecy is necessary. The reason why Peter was a mouse for 12 years was to escape the persecution of those people.”
When Scott said these words, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Although he sympathized with Harry, since he had been told, he couldn’t say those things.
If the truth was to be told to Harry, Dumbledore should also say it.
“You didn’t tell everyone, did you?” He asked Fred and George who were still on his shoulders.
The twins shook their heads, “Only those present know.”
Scott broke free from their grip and said to Harry, “Of course, this is just my suggestion. You can also ask Dumbledore. I believe he has considered it more comprehensively than me.”
Harry nodded.
Scott didn’t say anything more.
After saying goodbye to several Gryffindors, he and his roommates climbed the spiral staircase of the tower.
