Later, by chance, it became Ron's pet.

Most mice only live for one or two years, but Scabbers has lived for six or seven years in Ron's house, which is one of the best proofs of this.

This is also the reason for Crookshan's anger.

Crookshanks is not a cat in the ordinary sense; it has extremely high intelligence and has inherited the magical abilities of the cat-raccoon.

It can identify wizards who have ill intentions towards its master, and can even see through the Animagus.

In Crookshank's eyes, Peter Pettigrew was probably nestled in Ron's arms, giggling incessantly.

Once you understand all of this, you can understand what Dolly is thinking about right now.

Should we expose the truth about Peter Pettigrew?

If the truth about Peter Pettigrew is revealed, then the events of the third year will happen sooner.

After all, Sirius was imprisoned because he killed the "hero" Peter Pettigrew.

But in reality, Peter Pettigrew is still alive, so Sirius Black naturally becomes the one who was wronged.

But the downside...

Touching the staff at her waist, Dolly felt that with her meager magical power, it was better not to expose Peter Pettigrew.

After all, Peter Pettigrew may look sleazy, but he's also someone who can blow up an entire street with a spell.

Currently, only the shopkeeper and driver are adults on the entire Hogwarts Express; the rest are students.

Peter Pettigrew snatched the wand and blew up the Hogwarts Express, so Lydia, the time traveler, was burdened with a grave sin.

Of course, she wasn't doing nothing.

After enrolling, she will gradually learn about Animagus and then find an opportunity to reveal Banban's strange behavior to the school's professors.

With the professor taking care of Peter Pettigrew, it should be a sure thing.

"elder sister……"

Harry tugged at Ladolly's sleeve, his voice tinged with a hint of pleading.

He could tell that Ron was really crying from anger.

For Ron, Scabbers was his pet, one of the few things that truly belonged to him.

Because Ron has many older brothers, his clothes and belongings are all inherited from them. Therefore, Scabbers means more than just a pet to Ron; he is also a partner.

Hermione naturally felt wronged as well.

Ron brought out Scabbers directly; even if he had just reminded a few people, Hermione would have called back Crookshanks to prevent a cat-and-mouse conflict.

Moreover, in essence, Crookshanks was still saving Ron.

Thinking of this, Dolly decided to smooth things over and prevent Ron from slamming the door and leaving.

Although Dolly didn't intend to become friends with Ron like partners, she also didn't want to break up the bond between Harry and Ron.

However, before Dolly could make a move this time, the door was opened again.

"Excuse me, have you seen a toad...?"

The newcomer was Neville. Seeing the tense atmosphere in the room, his voice grew softer and softer.

In the end, he simply apologized: "I'm sorry to have bothered you."

"Wait a moment!"

Harry, however, seemed to have found a lifeline and immediately grabbed Ron and chased after them.

"We'll help you find the toad!"

Chapter 33, First Update: Fated Enemies

The two of them, along with Ron's rat, vanished from Hermione and Dolly's sight like the wind.

Dolly looked out the window and saw Neville, who was startled.

Neville even had an urge to run away, thinking that Harry and Ron were going to bully him.

Seeing this, Dolly couldn't help but laugh.

She was originally considering whether to help Neville find the toad so that Harry and Neville could get to know each other sooner.

As a result, Harry took Hermione's place and brought Ron along, which will surely make the three of them friends.

This is also a good thing.

In the end of the original story, Neville also became a heroic figure, and even became the leader in place of Harry when the main group had to flee.

However, due to the plot, he has never had the chance to become a member of the main cast.

Now that Harry, Ron, and Neville are together, could they form a new main characters group?

Of course, Neville would find it difficult to replace Hermione.

After all, Hermione is the external brain of the team, and Neville's mind can never compare to Hermione's.

However, Neville also had a skill that Hermione could never match: the swordsmanship he used to kill Nagini in the end.

If Neville had developed such abilities earlier, he probably would have become the next Gryffindor Sword Saint at Hogwarts.

As for the task of advising the main characters, Dolly and Hermione can take on that together.

Just as Dolly was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a hand touch her arm.

Dolly looked down in confusion, and Hermione gently pinched her. Then she immediately turned to the car window and let out a disgruntled snort.

Dolly laughed even more happily.

Could that punch just now be interpreted as Hermione being jealous?

Okay, Dolly knows she's overthinking it.

But Hermione is really unhappy right now and needs her comfort.

So Dolly reached out and touched Hermione's shoulder, then her cheek from behind, and rubbed it for a while.

At first, Hermione remained silent, but after her nose was pressed crooked, she quickly lost her temper and turned to retaliate against Dolly.

Crookshank, who had just been held like a precious treasure by Hermione, fell face down.

Fortunately, Crookshan was agile and easily flipped his body to land steadily on all fours.

Looking up at the two girls rubbing each other's faces, their half-closed eyes looked a bit like they were rolling their eyes.

It's as if it's saying: You've completely forgotten about it?

It was clearly the one that suffered the most serious damage!

Forget it, the cat is magnanimous and won't stoop to the level of a young wizard.

When the two were exhausted from arguing, they held each other's hands to prevent the other from retaliating, thus reaching a truce.

Dolly then smiled lazily and said, "Are you still angry?"

“He looks like a little kid, our Hermione shouldn’t take it personally.”

Hermione blushed, angrily pulled her hand away, and covered Dolly's mouth with it.

She was actually a year older than Dolly and the others, because her birthday was September 19, 1989, and she missed the start of the previous year's school year.

Hermione wasn't really concerned about it at first, but Dolly calling her "sister" made her scalp tingle.

"You're not allowed to mention this again. I'm 11 years old just like you, understand?"

After saying that, she carefully released Dolly's mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Dolly did not continue to pester her about her birthday.

She hopes to defeat others through her own hard work and ability, rather than being labeled as someone who bullies others because of their age.

As someone who values ​​her grades the most, Hermione doesn't want her academic record to be tarnished.

"Okay, then Hermione, could you please stop being angry?"

Dolly took a Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean and put it in Hermione's mouth, gently tracing the corner of Hermione's lips with her finger.

"If it tastes good, how about we let this matter drop?"

Hermione initially wanted to keep a straight face, but the sweet smell of pineapple eventually made her relax.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a faint pineapple aroma wafted over.

"Hmph, he's lucky."

Hermione waved to Crookshank, who had just been lying down, and Crookshank had no choice but to jump back into Hermione's arms.

But Hermione had already developed a knack for petting cats, and Crookshanks soon began to purr contentedly.

“I wanted to apologize, but he got too worked up. He acted like the rat was his family member. Although I value Crookshan very much, I would never treat a classmate like that.”

"Now that things have come to this, I can no longer apologize to him. I need to make that clear first."

Although she said she would let the matter drop, Hermione still wanted to vent her frustrations.

Dolly didn't say anything, she just fed her the candies one by one.

Dolly didn't laugh until Hermione started coughing violently.

"What does it taste like? Let me guess. Is it jalapeno or soap? Or maybe wasabi?"

Hermione grabbed a handful of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and was about to shove them into Dolly's mouth, gritting her teeth as she said, "It tastes like the fishy sea!"

 "Don't run away, I'm going to get my revenge."

"Your hands are dirty; you just touched the cat."

"My Crook Hills isn't dirty, isn't it, Crook Hills?"

Crookshank, thrown to the ground again, rolled its eyes. This time, it decided it would never come out again until it reached its destination.

Just as Crookshan was about to leap up, the leisurely expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he began to look at the doorway warily.

Suddenly the door opened, and a soft, gentle female voice came out, saying, "Hello, are you Harry's sister?"

"what?"

Dolly patted Hermione on the forehead, and Hermione immediately sat up straight, abandoning her previous mischievous behavior.
