Snape: It's Over... My Reputation!

"Lumos."

Black murmured the incantation.

A point of light emerged from the tip of his Wand, growing steadily brighter!

Black extended a finger and lightly flicked the tip of his Wand.

The light at the Wand's tip was immediately flicked up to the ceiling.

The spot of light grew brighter and brighter...

The surroundings gradually brightened beneath that small source of light.

Only then did Cassandra realize in surprise that their destination was actually a secret passage!

And in the middle of the passage, a hairless giant rat was huddled there, trembling violently.

Snape: It's Over... My Image!

In the middle of the secret passage, a bald rat was curled into a trembling ball.

Food scraps were scattered in front of it.

Peter was panicking like crazy.

Because just as he was wolfing down the hard-earned food,

a doorway made of sparks suddenly appeared before him!

Then, that little demon who had dealt him the most painful blow appeared!

Peter could only curl up and make himself as inconspicuous as possible, desperately hoping that this little demon was merely passing by...

But a crisp voice shattered all of Peter's hopes...

"Is this... that Weasley boy's pet rat?"

Cassandra asked in surprise.

Yesterday, Black had performed a little "operation" on the rat on the train.

As a result, Cassandra remembered this disgusting rat vividly.

"Yes... it's Ron's pet rat, Scabbers."

Black crouched lightly in front of Scabbers and said with a smile.

Under Black's blade-sharp gaze,

Peter finally understood what it meant to feel a thorn in one's back.

Still, Peter was not completely hopeless yet.

He had merely been recognized as Scabbers.

At worst, he would be handed back to that stupid boy.

Sirius Black probably had not entered Hogwarts yet, so he still had a chance to escape again.
