Outside Hogwarts Castle,
The Scottish Highlands.
After Peter Pettigrew desperately cast the second Blasting Curse, he immediately Transfiguration a rat and fled frantically.
The Dementors' target was Sirius Black, but those people already knew the truth of what happened back then, so they would definitely help fight off the Dementors and couldn't catch up in time.
But he still couldn't understand why he was ambushed Dumbledore's plan?
Yes, he hadn't seen a soul all night; he must be watching him from somewhere nearby.
Peter Pettigrew transformed back into human form, turned to look at the distant castle, gritted his teeth, and raised his Apparition.
He couldn't worry about anything else; he had to escape as soon as possible.
Not long after the black and white vortex disappeared, Vincent and Hermione arrived.
If it weren't for the magical aura left by the Apparition, the Time-Turner would probably have to be activated several more times.
"The traces haven't completely disappeared." Vincent took Hermione's little hand and followed the trail of Apparition.
"Beep beep—" Just as the two landed, a car drove up in front of them.
Vincent quickly grabbed her and rushed towards the sidewalk.
"Screech—" The car braked suddenly, and a middle-aged man got out.
"Are you young people crazy? The street isn't a place for you to show off your love!"
Vincent and Hermione ignored him and quickly ran into an alley after getting up.
The middle-aged man stood there stunned, cursing as he got back into his car.
"He's not even fully grown yet, and he's already trying to do thrills like an adult, even on the main road..." As he spoke, he became very sad.
The two people in the alley stopped in front of a narrow sewer opening.
Despite being severely injured, Peter Pettigrew is still using magic frequently; he's really going all out.
"How are we going to get in—" Hermione asked in surprise as Vincent Serpent Staff into a long-barreled pistol.
"Blast it open before going in." As soon as the words were spoken, two red beams shot out from the two snake-head shaped gun barrels, blasting a large hole in the narrow sewer entrance.
After all, they were chasing a real fugitive, so it was understandable that they might break the law a little.
"Let's go." Vincent led Hermione into the sewer.
They hadn't gone far when they stopped again in front of yet another trace left by Apparition.
Hermione tightened her grip on his small hand. "We have to be extra careful this time."
Vincent nodded, his index finger lightly touching the Snakewood trigger of the long-barreled pistol.
The Side-Along Apparition and led the two to a police station.
"Hands up! Lie down!" Several police officers were pointing at the two men.
Peter Pettigrew quite cunning; it seems he caused trouble before leaving.
"Vincent?" Sheriff Kyle looked incredulous. "How did you end up here all of a sudden?"
Kyle was a close old friend of Eric's, so he naturally recognized the grown-up Vincent.
"Uncle Kyle, didn't a short, shifty-looking guy just disappear?"
"Yeah." Kyle gestured for his fellow officers to put down their guns. "That guy came into our office with a stick and started yelling. We chased after him and he just vanished in a flash."
He scratched his head. "Hey kid, how come you just showed up like that guy with a 'bang'? And you even brought your girlfriend?"
Vincent didn't have time to pay attention to the smirk on his face. "I'm leaving now. If you need anything, go find my dad."
Kyle immediately put on a stern face, "I'm a sheriff, you know that trespassing on police property is a crime—"
He stared wide-eyed as the two figures vanished again with a "snap," "—a sin?"
The surrounding police officers stared at each other blankly, then turned their attention to Kyle's embarrassed face.
"Uh... this kid has been like this since he was a child..."
After another Side-Along Apparition, Vincent and Hermione found themselves in a wildlife park.
The alarm rang, and the two promptly cast the Disillusionment Charm.
As the security guards reviewed the distorted surveillance footage, the tracking spell's thin lines extended all the way to the artificial ecosystem.
This place is full of small rodents, and the thin thread eventually went into a burrow dug by a groundhog.
Without the slightest hesitation, Vincent used a spell to lift up all the soil.
Another trace left by Apparition.
"They really know how to escape..." He safely placed the small animals on the ground before chasing after them with Hermione.
The two appeared in a dilapidated car.
"Boom—" A burst of fire suddenly erupted from under the car, blasting the entire vehicle into the air.
Vincent appeared in the air, leading Hermione by the hand, and their eyes scanned their surroundings simultaneously.
This is a junkyard. The explosion just now was caused by Blasting Curse without any Dark Magic amplification.
"Over there!" Hermione pointed to the black and white vortex below, which was slowly disappearing, with her free hand.
The next second, Vincent and she appeared inside a magnificent building.
The surrounding area is full of artworks and cultural relics; it looks like we've arrived at a museum.
Hermione's gaze swept over the murals on the wall and the mummy in the glass display case.
"This is the British Museum."
Vincent's tracking spell extended behind a bronze hand.
Why didn't Peter Pettigrew continue running away?
The museum is located in Russell Square, north of Oxford Street, not far from the police station where Kyle works.
There are only two possibilities: either they saw the two of them earlier and thought they posed no threat, or their bodies had reached their limits and they were unable to move long distances.
But no matter what, this place is not a good place to make a move.
"Peter Pettigrew, do you think I care about what's around me?"
The long-barreled pistol was pointed at the bronze hand engraved with ancient inscriptions.
"You're wrong." Vincent touched the Snakewood trigger, and the Magical Beam that shot out instantly blasted the entire display case into pieces.
"Squeak squeak squeak—" Peter Pettigrew could.
He might have thought that Muggle-born wizard would be bothered by the Muggle artifacts scattered around, but he didn't know that Vincent had absolutely no liking for this museum.
Not to mention the right hand of God— the Hand of Arabia, even the 2000-year-old peat mummy— Lindao Man— was shattered in one blow.
As Hermione listened to the alarms blaring all around, the regret on her face gradually disappeared, and she also Gunblade and gave chase.
"Squeak squeak squeak—" Peter Pettigrew had fled in a panic, turned into the corridor and transformed back into human form.
"Confringo!"
Just like before, there was no amplification from Dark Magic.
The left side of the long-barreled pistol, shaped like a snake's head, formed a barrier, while the right side continued to fire spells.
The Orichalcum Bullet hit the corner wall, and the Magical Beam blasted away half of the wall in the next second.
Vincent burst out of the smoke and dust, scaring Peter Pettigrew into turning into a mouse.
You've lost your chance!
The Revealing Charm illuminated the entire corridor, Peter Pettigrew, now back in human form, stumbled and ran into yet another corner without looking back.
He miscalculated.
Even if it wasn't Dumbledore who came, they were still two proper young wizards who had received the Order of Merlin, Second Class.
"Bang—" Peter Pettigrew waved his hand and blasted open the door blocking his way.
He was no match for them now and could only continue to run away.
