Chapter 510: A-Zu turns into a big bird, is he rebelling?
"What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Padraic?"

Hermione asked expectantly.

"Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you about what happened today."

Peter said as he took a step closer to Hermione.

If he remembered correctly, everything that happened today was the beginning of the locked room incident.

First it was Filch's cat, then Colin who admired Harry, then Justin Finch-Fletch, and finally Hermione was petrified by the basilisk.

Although we know that the mastermind behind this is the diary that owns the soul of Tom Riddle of this world.

But he didn't know where this mysterious secret room was.

Although he can take the diary away now, the diary containing Voldemort's Horcrux should be kept in this world so that the subsequent direction of the plot will not change too much.

Besides, this kind of thing may also be an opportunity for Mark and Riven to train.

When dealing with the basilisk, Peter believes that Raven, Tom and Loki will not fail.

The only one who might be in danger is Mark.

But he had already placed a grain of sand from the Sandman's sandbag on Mark.

If he encounters a dangerous situation, this grain of sand can also protect him.

So Peter had no intention of stopping what was about to happen in the secret room.

He believed that he could handle these naughty kids.

But before that, he needed to give Hermione a hint.

Hermione didn't know that so many thoughts were running through Peter's mind. She raised her head slightly and asked Peter expectantly and nervously, "Mr. Padrick, what do you want to talk to me about? Is it about Mrs. Norris being petrified?"

"Yes, I heard from Mark that you are very intelligent, Miss Granger, and studious, and you are also known as Miss 'Problem-ridden'."

Hermione felt a little embarrassed listening to Peter's words.

She didn't expect Mark to say this to her father.

"Thank you, thank you for your recognition of me, Mr. Padrick."

Hermione raised her head slightly, but soon realized that it was inappropriate for her to do so, so she suppressed her smugness and said modestly to Peter: "I just like reading."

"So, Miss Granger, regarding what happened to Mrs. Norris today, I believe you will find out the reason and the real murderer behind it."

Peter cast his gaze out the window, at the pitch-black night engulfed by the darkness.

"However, I have a clue here that may help you find the real murderer."

Hermione was stunned when she heard Peter say that the clues he provided would be helpful to her.

Does Mr. Patrick know anything?

But if he knew, why didn't he tell Professor Dumbledore?
Hermione was lost in thought.

After a while, she opened her bright eyes and asked Peter, "What is it, Mr. Padraic?"

She believed that no matter what Peter's purpose was, he would not harm her.

After all, he is Mark's father.

"In 1942, a tragedy occurred at Hogwarts School."

Peter told her slowly, "At that time, a student was killed by a creature controlled by the heir of Slytherin, and Hagrid was considered the culprit, along with his friend Aragog, the monster that terrorized Hogwarts."

"After that, Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, and Professor Dumbledore made him a school nurse in order to help him."

Peter said something that made Hermione freeze.

She hadn't expected Hagrid to have such a past.

"Why do you know all this? Mr. Padraic, did you also graduate from Hogwarts?"

Hermione asked curiously.

"No, I didn't graduate from Hogwarts."

Peter shook his head and told her, "I grew up in a Muggle school."

Hermione showed a surprised expression when she heard Peter talking about Muggle schools.

"Sir, are you also from a Muggle family?"

Hermione was very happy that Peter had the same background as herself.

"Well, you could say that."

Peter thought for a moment and said to her, "In our world, there is no such discrimination. We even divide different groups of people into Muggles and wizards."

"Then how do wizards in your world learn magic? Mr. Padrick, where does the magic that wizards learn come from?"

Hermione started talking and she asked Peter questions in a torrent of words.

"That's a long story. The magic in our world comes from a witch named Hecate. But she's been a little mad lately, and our magical world has been going through some turmoil."

Peter looked down at his watch, then patted her hair. "Well, it's getting late, Miss Granger. You should go back and rest. As for the different magics in the two worlds, during the winter vacation, perhaps I can invite you to visit our world so you can compare them carefully."

Hermione's mood immediately improved when Peter patted her hair.

She nodded and said to Peter excitedly, "Thank you, thank you for your invitation, Mr. Padrick."

She promised Peter, "I will definitely find out who really cursed Mrs. Norris."

"Of course, I believe you."

Peter nodded.

The original world line was that Hermione investigated the truth.

Although she was petrified by the basilisk, the note she was holding at the time gave Harry a clue.

"Goodbye, Mr. Patrick, and have a good time."

Hermione waved to Peter and said goodbye to him happily.

"Goodbye, Miss Granger."

"and many more!"

Peter looked at her leaving and called her again. Peter, who was lost in thought, hesitated for a second, and finally decided to buy an extra insurance policy.

I treat Hermione as a tool, but I can't be a black-hearted capitalist who doesn't care about anything.

Although in the original world line, Hermione was only hit by the basilisk, it is possible that the world line will change due to the intervention of herself, Raven and others.

If Hermione was killed by the basilisk like Myrtle was, then she would be in trouble.

Hermione turned her head in confusion, not knowing why Peter called her.

Peter walked slowly in front of her along the dim corridor.

"For your own safety, Miss Granger, you must take some protective measures."

As he spoke, Peter held out his hand.

In Hermione's astonished eyes, she saw a grain of sand with a silver glow slowly falling into the palm of her hand.

"What is this, Mr. Patrick?"

Hermione asked in surprise, feeling the special and magical feeling.

"You can use it as a protective magic. It can help you resist a fatal magical injury."

Peter gently placed his fingers on the sand that was emitting a silvery glow.

Under Peter's control, the sand quickly turned into a pointed amethyst-shaped amulet.

He remembered that after the attack of the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, as students began to be petrified at Hogwarts, the business of selling amulets among students began to flourish.

Neville Longbottom once bought a pointy amethyst, a rotting newt tail, and a large, smelly green onion.

In order to prevent Hermione from being killed by the basilisk, Peter made a real amulet in advance and gave it to her.

"Is this for me?"

Feeling the extraordinaryness of the "amulet" in her hand, she asked with surprise and joy.

"of course."

"Thank you!"

Hermione took the amulet excitedly.

But she soon realized that this was not a good idea and reluctantly returned the amulet to Peter.

"No, Mr. Padraic, it is too expensive."

Hermione said knowingly.

"It's okay. I have many similar ones. It's not expensive to me. Besides, you are Mark's friend."

Peter said the amulet was not that valuable.

In the end, Hermione accepted the amulet.

She hugged Peter gratefully and said goodbye to him reluctantly.

Peter waited until her back disappeared, walked to the window, and cast his eyes into the gradually foggy night.

The next day.

Padraic Farm.

During breakfast, A-Zu kept staring at Loki, and his unfriendly look made Loki feel uneasy.

"What's the problem, John?"

Loki asked him doubtfully.

When Peter heard the voice, he also looked at Azu with an inquiring look.

A-Zu has been quite well behaved lately. Is he going to do something different today?

"Of course."

Ah Zu looked at Loki with a bad expression. He pointed at the cookies in the living room and asked Loki, "Who put those cookies there?"

"biscuit?"

Loki played dumb and looked at Rhea who was daydreaming.

Rhea is currently taking the accounting qualification exam and is now thinking about the content of the future exam.

In addition, after becoming Peter's housekeeper, she was responsible for all the work on the farm.

As a busy person, she needs to study and work at the same time, which makes her mentally exhausted.

"Miss Rhea, those are the milk cookies you bought, right?"

Since arriving on Earth, Rhea has developed a habit of eating sweets, so Loki asks if she bought them.

Rhea came back to her senses in a daze, nodded and said, "Yes, I bought it."

"There's nothing wrong with cookies, but I ate one this morning and turned into a canary for a minute."

Azu looked at Loki with an angry look, "I guess there was a magic cookie in the middle of a bag of milk cookies. It must have been you who did it, Loki!"

He directly put the blame of this prank on Loki's head.

As a fellow countryman, A-Zu was turned into a big bird, which made him extremely angry.

When Loki heard that A-Zu had put the prank on him, he naturally denied it.

"You have no proof, John, and how am I supposed to know it was you who ate that cookie?"

Loki looked at him suspiciously, "Wait. Why did you steal Rhea's cookies?!"

"Zi!"

Azure activated his sight, and in anger he shot a laser that pierced through the cup in Loki's hand.

The water in Loki's cup splashed onto the table.

Tom, who was eating next to him, suffered an unexpected disaster and had food and soup splashed all over his body.

"Rebellion?!"
