Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

He quickly returned to the trapdoor and crawled into a rat hole in the room, walking along with ease.

The pain from his broken claw was still intense, but he was in a cheerful mood.

Fortunately, the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider did not enter his blood, which would have almost certainly killed him.

And he was experienced in enduring pain—it was just a hand, and it didn't hurt much more than when he cut off his own fingers.

"The master has supreme magical power. He may give me a new arm...more powerful..."

Peter Pettigrew yearned in his heart.

He had no doubt that his master would reward him, and he never considered keeping the Philosopher's Stone for himself.

Although he was indeed very interested in immortality and powerful magic, his experiences over the past year were enough to make him realize how terrifying his master was.

"Especially the younger one..."

When he thought of this, even though he had turned into a mouse, he couldn't help but shudder.

He didn't think any more and quickly crawled out of the rat hole.

Then...

"Meow!"

Peter heard a cat meow.

This made him tremble all over and panic subconsciously.

"Oh, damn!"

But then he realized that there seemed to be no reason for him to be afraid.

He has been transformed into a mouse for more than ten years, and it almost gave him some sequelae.

He turned his head and saw the cat.

White fur, with flaming golden-red eyes.

"Oh, I recognize you... You're Elias's cat!"

Of course Peter recognized the cat - he had some prestige in the mouse circle at Hogwarts, and the little mice were his spies.

The cats in Hogwarts are undoubtedly the creatures that all mice care about the most!

"Get away, you beast!"

He growled.

But the white cat in front of him just tilted its head, obviously not quite understanding what the strange little mouse was calling.

"Great! You want a fight, right? You want me to cast a spell on you?!"

So Peter Pettigrew looked around.

After making sure that there was no one around, not even the magic painting, he changed back into human form.

This obviously startled the white cat - its ears folded up!

"The Master will kill that Elias, and I will kill you—a perfect arrangement..."

He hissed under his breath.

But he regretted it the next moment.

because...

"Woo..."

He heard a low growl.

'Kill Elias' - these words obviously touched upon something dangerous, so much so that the eyes of the 'cat' in front of him actually looked at him.

In its eyes, golden-red magic began to flow.

Its sound was no longer a cat's meow, but something more terrifying, more... louder roar.

In just a moment, Peter Pettigrew saw the cat in front of him turned into a monster.

It has a dragon's head, and where the cat's ears used to be have now become sharp horns, emitting dense magical power.

It has white, snake-like scales on its body.

Behind it were huge, bird-like wings, surrounded by visible thunder and lightning.

Its four legs are like those of a lion, but are shrouded in mist.

Its size continued to grow, and in almost an instant it went from being a cat to being larger than a three-headed dog.

"You...what kind of monster are you!?"

Peter certainly had no idea what the monster in front of him was.

From what he had learned, there was no magical animal similar to it!

But Peter at least knew what he should do at this moment.

So he instinctively waved his wand and used his most powerful spell: "Avada Eats the Big Melon!"

but...

"Buzz!"

The green light shot onto the monster, but Peter found that the monster was still looking at it with its eyes full of magic.

Apparently, it was unharmed.

And it must be said that Peter was a pretty good wizard - his ability to master Animagus was proof of that.

Thanks to some of his good friends in the past, he has participated in many adventures and has gained a lot of knowledge.

So he immediately realized the significance of this scene.

Just as mentioned before - the Killing Curse is almost a fatal spell.

It will only fail in one situation, that is, if there is a huge gap in magic power.

In other words, the magic power in the monster in front of him far exceeds that of him - not just a little bit, but an absolute, incomparable gap!

And the next moment...

"bake!"

Peter heard the sound of flames burning.

He saw the monster in front of him open and close its dragon-like mouth.

There was a hot, ominous blue flame inside.

"Gubraithian Fire!"

Peter recognized this legendary flame - it was said to come from a clan of giants, a flame that only the top wizards could wield, and was also called the 'Eternal Flame'.

He is also the symbol of the Goblet of Fire in the ancient Triwizard Tournament.

As far as Peter knew, this flame itself had an extremely high temperature and was one of the most powerful fire magics.

But at the same time, it is controlled by the user - it will not even ignite ordinary objects unless the user wishes.

But it was obvious that the fire in the monster's mouth was aimed at killing him!

so...

"ANIMAGUS!"

Without hesitation, he transformed back into a mouse.

During this process, blue flames were already erupting from Friday's mouth.

"what!"

Peter, who hadn't yet fully transformed, let out a miserable cry - he dodged the flames, but not completely.

His wand and his only remaining right hand were swept by flames!

When he successfully turned into a mouse, he looked pathetic and miserable with only two hind legs.

But Peter no longer cared about so much at the moment, survival was his only instinct at the moment!

He struggled and escaped back into the rat hole next to him and disappeared without a trace.

"Roar!"

Seeing the mouse crawl into the hole, Friday growled angrily.

It raised its huge claws wrapped in water mist and was about to force the wall open, but in the end it put down its claws.

"Woo!"

Both the young master and the eldest brother had warned it not to destroy anything in the castle.

This made Friday very unhappy.

But soon, it noticed the ground.

There, there stood a red stone.

then...

"Meow!"

Friday cried out and turned back into the appearance of a little white cat.

It went up to the stone and sniffed it, then its eyes lit up.

"Meow!"

Such powerful magic! It must be a good thing!

Then, it decisively picked up the stone in one bite and glanced at the mouse hole again.

It turned around and walked away.

Ryan certainly didn't know what was happening in the castle.
