Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

Therefore, when Ye Feng directly called him out, Peter Pettigrew didn't react immediately and kept struggling. It wasn't until nearly two seconds later that he realized what was happening and bit Ron, taking advantage of the pain to escape.

However, Ye Feng had been keeping a close eye on him, so how could he possibly let it escape so easily?

However, just as Ye Feng took out the net and was about to swing it, he stopped abruptly because he thought of a problem.

Black must be filled with rage after being imprisoned in Azkaban for so long. If Peter were handed over to the Ministry of Magic directly, he wouldn't be able to vent his anger.

Now that Blake has successfully been promoted to his 'number one tool', since he is his 'tool', he naturally has to treat Blake well. Therefore, as the boss, it is reasonable for him to let his 'tool' vent his dissatisfaction and anger appropriately and reasonably.

So Ye Feng retracted the net in his hand, then kicked out, sending Peter Pettigrew, who had turned into a rat-like creature and was about to fall to the ground, flying away with a loud thud.

"Crack~"

"Hey~"

Ye Feng: (」゜ロ゜)」

Watching the gray rat fly out of the window like a black shadow, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "That kick was absolutely amazing!"

Black, Lupin: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ(ーдー)

"Chase him! We absolutely cannot let him get away!"

Seeing that Ye Feng had kicked the mouse, which could be identified as Peter Pettigrew, flying outside with a single kick, Black and Lupin were stunned for a moment and then flew into a rage. But they were not angry at Ye Feng; they were angry that Peter Pettigrew dared to run away even though they had recognized him. So they shouted and rushed out.

Seeing Lu Ping and the other man rushing out in a rage, Ye Feng glanced back at Ron and noticed that the bite wound on his hand was bleeding. He then reminded him, "Rats can carry rabies, and they can also carry plague. If you don't want to eat at the banquet, you should go to the infirmary."

Ron: (?Д?)ノ0ДQ

"Eat...eat at a banquet..."

Ron was so frightened by Ye Feng's words that he almost lost his mind. Having been classmates with Ye Feng for so long, he could understand what Ye Feng meant by "attending a banquet." After Ye Feng scared Ron half to death with just one sentence, he turned around and followed Blake and the others out.

"Don't worry, my kick was pretty powerful. Even if it didn't kill him, he's probably not feeling well right now. He won't recover easily."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if he recovers and runs away, because I marked him after kicking him away, so he can't escape."

Ye Feng: Xiao Tou doesn't count as cheating, and besides, I only marked the enemy's location.

(~￣▽￣)～

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Lupin and Black did not slow their pace, but their expressions relaxed considerably. Hermione and Harry, who were following behind Ye Feng to watch the excitement, were filled with curiosity about the mark Ye Feng mentioned, and they soon found out what it meant.

Perhaps Peter Pettigrew was indeed tough, or perhaps the rat's body structure and weight gave them an advantage when taking a hit, or perhaps Ye Feng's kick just happened to send him flying into the bushes. In any case, by the time Lupin and Black rushed out the window, the rat that Peter Pettigrew had turned into was gone.

Having finally gotten a chance to clear his name, and with Harry right in front of him, whom he had risked his life to rush here just to see one more time, how could Black possibly let this opportunity slip by? So when he discovered that Peter Pettigrew had disappeared, he almost went mad, and even felt resentful towards Ye Feng for kicking Peter Pettigrew out.

But at that moment, a flash of light appeared in a thicket of grass less than five meters away from them, and then a huge red subscript arrow floated above the grass, flashing as if afraid that others would not see it.

Harry and others: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"This... is the marker? Then there's really no need to worry about losing track of it..."

Everyone was amazed when they saw the huge, shiny red arrow mark. Just as they were marveling, the arrow suddenly began to move rapidly. It seemed that Peter Pettigrew, although he hadn't noticed the arrow, realized something was wrong and started to run away.

If it weren't for Ye Feng's mark, given his size and speed, he might have actually managed to escape. But now, as long as Black and the others aren't blind, Peter Pettigrew shouldn't be able to get away.

Although Ye Feng had already taken precautions, Blake and Lupin felt it was best to catch that guy as soon as possible, especially since Ron had already realized what was happening and was charging towards them angrily.

"What you're doing to my freckles..."

Lupine: (メ｀ロ?)/￣ biu~

Ron: (°Д°)

Before Ron could finish speaking, Lupin used a dispel spell on Peter, who was hiding in the bushes but had been marked, instantly pulling him out of his rat form and back into... a ratman. When Ron saw Peter Pettigrew back into human form, he was so startled that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

But after the initial shock, fragments of daily memories with his 'pet' Banban flashed wildly through his mind, and then…

"Ugh~"

The next second, a waterfall gushed out of Ron's mouth.

Harry, who was about to comfort his best friend, thought about how Ron often cuddled with 'Scabbers' while sleeping and liked to kiss it...

Harry: (???)

"I can't think about it anymore, or I won't be able to hold back my thoughts."

Compared to Ron and Harry, who both performed a dramatic precipitous fall and appeared pale and grimacing while leaning against the wall, Ye Feng's performance was much better.

Looking at the disheveled man in front of him, who, despite having deactivated his transformation, resembled an enlarged version of a rat, Ye Feng couldn't help but frown, because this guy could no longer be called human.

"It's both hateful and pathetic. It has completely abandoned its dignity as a human being and is just like a rat, barely surviving. No wonder this guy was able to learn Transfiguration and become an Animagus. It's practically a giant version of a rat."

Ye Feng felt that Peter Pettigrew had completely abandoned his dignity as a human being and lived a shameful life after turning into a mouse, but Peter Pettigrew did not think so. So, although he was very flustered after being deactivated, he did not surrender but immediately tried to turn back into a mouse and escape.

Yes, his first thought was still to run away. He had no intention of fighting back or even killing anyone, because he never considered that he could possibly win. But Blake didn't give him that chance.

It should be noted that Black's current strength, thanks to his mastery of Ye Feng's simplified version of the magic book, is almost on par with Dumbledore's before Ye Feng came to Hogwarts. Therefore, although he doesn't have a wand, it doesn't affect his ability to cast spells at all.

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"

Ye Feng: Σ (?Д?;)

"Hiss~ Is it that ruthless? A direct hit with Divine Strike Without Shadow? If that hits, won't I turn into a rat?"

Chapter 182 Ye Feng: Many Days Since I Started Thinking About Old Fu

It turns out that people who have actually fought life-or-death battles and seen blood are quite different from ordinary wizards. For example, Lupin and Black are both much more efficient in their choice of magic and in their execution.

If it were young wizards like Harry and his friends, they would usually start with control spells like 'Expelliarmus' or 'Stun,' unlike Black and his friends, who would start with 'Escape from the Ashes.' Lupin then followed up with 'Petrify All,' effectively blocking Petrarch's escape route.

However, it must be said that Peter Pettigrew is indeed worthy of being called a 'ratman' who has survived for so many years. I dare not say that his magical skills are exceptional, but his ability to escape is still very strong.

In this near-impossible situation, Peter Pettigrew managed to transform back into a mouse despite the magic being so close, and in his mouse form, he twisted at an incredible angle in mid-air, managing to evade both spells, leaving Harry and his friends in awe.

However, no matter how cunning Peter Pettigrew is or how skillful his maneuvers are, it's all in vain because he has already been marked, and it's useless for him to hide anywhere.

What left Ye Feng speechless was that after turning into a mouse, Peter Pettigrew's size became very small, and since he kept hiding in grassy areas, it was difficult for Black and the others to aim at him even though they knew his approximate location.

While Black and his friends were frantically chasing Peter Pettigrew, Dumbledore and Snape, along with the other professors, finally arrived.

The professors who rushed to the scene after hearing the news first asked what was going on. After learning that Lupin and his group were actually chasing Peter Pettigrew, the one who had betrayed Harry Potter's parents, the professors reacted in different ways.

Most of the professors, like Dumbledore, didn't say anything and just watched. They neither stopped Lupin and the others nor helped them. Grindelwald even looked on with interest as he watched the show. Only Snape, after hearing the news, grabbed his wand and rushed forward.

Ye Feng was a little shocked to see Snape actually join the fray, but those who knew the inside story were not surprised, because Snape's feelings for Lily, Harry's mother, were truly very deep. So when he heard that the culprit who betrayed Lily and caused her death was right here, how could he not be able to hold back?

Peter Pettigrew wasn't very strong to begin with, and Lupin and the others couldn't catch him for a while simply because he had the advantage of being small. But when Snape joined in and Lupin and the others gradually learned how to locate targets by marking them, Peter Pettigrew's time was up.

However, it seems their magic is still too weak.

It's not that their magic level is bad, but rather that the magic of the entire magic world is not very good, because they lack area-of-effect (AOE) attacks.

Generally speaking, wizards are the undisputed masters of group battles in games, with a single spell covering a large area. However, it seems that very few spells in the Harry Potter world are area-of-effect.

However, this situation will soon change, because Ye Feng's magic book will soon be officially released. Once the magic book is released, the magic power possessed by magicians will increase dramatically. They will no longer lack magic power and will be able to unleash the various spells that Ye Feng modified and restored.

Yes, it's about modifying and restoring. After all, many magic novels and anime have featured this magic. Moreover, Ye Feng doesn't need to create them all from scratch, because many spells can be upgraded and modified from existing spells, at most resulting in only a tiny bit of enhancement.

Although the scope of magic is mostly limited nowadays, it's still a sure thing that three top-tier wizards in the magical world could gang up on Peter, a little guy whose magical abilities are not very good.

Of course, since Dumbledore and the others were present, they didn't use extremely powerful magic like Divine Shield; instead, they used restrictive magic such as dispelling polymorph, knocking people unconscious, and petrifying everyone.

Then they got a rock-hard little dwarf, Peter.

At first, everyone's attention was on Peter Pettigrew, but gradually many professors noticed something was wrong, because Sirius Black's strength was really too great, almost on par with Dumbledore.

Of course, this was the old Dumbledore. Now, because of Ye Feng's arrival, even Professor McGonagall, who is also a professor and sees him often, can hardly see through him anymore, because Ye Feng has the most contact with him.

Although they have also benefited greatly and their magical abilities have improved significantly, allowing them to cast spells easily without wands without much weakening, they are still far behind Dumbledore.

However, it was still somewhat unbelievable that Black, who had been imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, had increased his strength to such an extent so soon after he jumped out. Then they all looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng: [?_??]

Seeing that all the professors were turning to look at him, Ye Feng was filled with questions. He couldn't understand why these people were looking at him, who was also watching the show, instead of at Peter Pettigrew, who had been captured.

Fortunately, they quickly looked away, and the main event was that Peter Pettigrew had been caught and Sirius Black was finally going to be exonerated. So soon everyone followed Peter Pettigrew, who was being dragged back, back into the Great Hall.

The Ministry of Magic arrived shortly after, and while waiting for them, Sirius Black and Harry had a dramatic reunion. Harry was completely stunned to learn that the disheveled man he had always been wary of and even afraid of was actually his godfather.

However, many of Dumbledore's friends knew this, so after confirming it, Harry accepted the reality.

After accepting this reality, Harry quickly became incredibly happy because, through conversations with Black and Lupin, he learned that Black had come to Hogwarts after jumping out of Azkaban just to see him. This made Harry realize that he still had family who cared about him and missed him.

Ye Feng, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with the much-anticipated Blake.

"It shouldn't be long before the news of Black's exoneration and increased strength spread throughout the wizarding world, right? Old Voldemort, hurry up and come! I've been waiting for you so long I'm practically withering away. The future of the wizarding world can't be without you!"

Voldemort, hiding somewhere: Hatchet!

"Autumn's here? That can't be right, summer hasn't been here long. Looks like this body is still too weak; I need to find a way to get back to peak condition as soon as possible..."

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Magic, along with Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black, began their return journey. Although the matter was almost finalized, some procedures still needed to be followed. More importantly, they needed this news to restore the Ministry of Magic's reputation and demonstrate to the wizarding world that the Ministry was not incompetent.

So Sirius was grateful that Pettigrew hadn't returned to the Ministry of Magic yet, and news was already spreading that the Ministry of Magic had arrested the person who had truly betrayed Harry Potter's parents.

Of course, the message that Ye Feng most wanted to spread also quietly spread throughout the magic world.

Chapter 183 Voldemort: I'm going to have this book!

"Hey, have you heard? It was Peter Pettigrew, not Sirius Black, who betrayed the Potters, but Sirius Black is now free."

"Your information is outdated. Not only do I know that Black has regained his freedom, but I've also heard that after his release, Black obtained some kind of magical artifact that greatly increased his strength. It's said that even Dumbledore of Hogwarts can no longer defeat him."

"Is it really true? It's unbelievable! What kind of amazing thing could allow someone who's been imprisoned in Azkaban for over a decade to gain strength surpassing even Dumbledore's upon release!"

"It's not actually a magical item."

Others: [?ヘ??]

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone else immediately turned their attention to them, because whoever dared to say such a thing must know something. Although this knowledge might not be entirely accurate, it certainly wouldn't have appeared out of nowhere, so it had a certain degree of truth to it.

Therefore, almost everyone's eyes turned to them, and some people even held their breath and listened intently for fear of missing a single word, because these people had another name besides their public identity—Death Eaters.

Under everyone's gaze, the man enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention for a moment before slowly saying, "Actually, I've only heard about it."

"One of my buddies' third aunt's brother's girlfriend's ex-boyfriend works at the Ministry of Magic. According to him, Sirius Black's power increase was not due to any magical items or extremely rare pills, but because he obtained a book."

"Book?!"

Seeing the shocked looks on everyone's faces, the man nodded in satisfaction before continuing, "That's right, it's a book. It's said that once you learn it, your strength will increase dramatically in a short period of time. There are even rumors that as long as you get that book, even if you're a Squib, you might become a real wizard, and a powerful one at that."
