My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 350, Section 347: Umaru's New Discovery

Peter had three mortal enemies during his more than ten years on the run.

The first, of course, is Sirius Black, who thought he had killed him, but actually turned him into a rat and escaped.

The second story is about the strange hamster that grabbed his tail and used to curry favor with him at King's Cross Station three years ago, when he was still Percy's pet.

Thirdly, there's the smart cat that Ron's friend, Hermione, bought this year.

He's had the worst luck tonight.

Sirius has escaped from prison and is trying his best to catch him, while the strange hamster and the clever cat have somehow teamed up and are now chasing him relentlessly!

Peter took a leap, taking three steps in two, and in a few jumps, he leaped from the first floor to the second floor.

Crookshank, though large in size, was no less fast. In three leaps, he jumped from the first floor to the second floor, relentlessly chasing after Peter!

A chaotic scene erupted in the castle corridors as Peter ran from the first floor to the seventh floor and back down to the first floor, with Crookshanks and Umaru chasing closely behind him, their claws reaching Peter's tail at the closest point.

Peter was extremely frustrated.

Although he wasn't a core member of Potter's clique during his time at Hogwarts, nor was he one of the most outstanding dark wizards in the Death Eaters.

But regardless of whether he was black or white in the past, he always associated with the best wizards. But today, he was being chased like this by a cat and a hamster. Peter couldn't accept this fact from the bottom of his heart.

But this is Hogwarts, and Sirius could find him at any time. Even if he can't swallow this anger, he has to keep it to himself. If he reveals his true form and kills this cat and mouse, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause.

Peter was chased through the castle for half the night before he finally found an opportunity to slip back into the Gryffindor common room, escaping Umaru and Crookshanks who had been chasing him the whole time.

As dawn broke, Ron was worried to find that Scabbers' mental state had deteriorated further. He was lying in Ron's pocket and refused to come out, looking half-dead.

He guessed that he was frightened by Hermione's new pet cat, and they even had a fight about it.

Hermione felt wronged, as Crookshanks' mental state hadn't been very good lately either.

But in fact, Ron did not suspect the wrong person.

"The Vice Minister of Arts and Sports has already compiled the list of athletes from each college and grade. They are currently organizing rehearsals for the athletes' formations from the four colleges. This is their application to use the renovated Quidditch pitch, which the Minister of Arts and Sports has already signed off on."

Ian stood next to Lynn, holding a thick stack of parchment, and was giving a detailed report on the recent student council work.

"Just keep a copy of the application documents in the archives. Has the first sponsorship payment from the investment company arrived for the student union?"

"They directly transferred the right to use a Gringotts vault in the UK, saying that all annual sponsorship fees would be deposited in this vault. This year's sponsorship fees have already been tallied by the accountant, and there are 500 Galleons in cash, as well as the latest flying broomsticks, quill pens, parchment, etc., which match the quantities in the previously signed contract."

"The accountant can keep track of these things. Every transaction, from money in and out to the distribution of supplies, requires relevant receipts from Gringotts. The final accounting will be done at the end of the year."

"The Minister of Societies says they need to conduct a survey and compilation of all student societies at Hogwarts. The presidents of those societies have no experience in this area, and they say they haven't received any notification from any professors that they've changed supervisors. The Minister of Societies would like you to ask Professor McGonagall to write a note as proof."

"The approval slip will be delivered to him tomorrow. By the way, remind him that it's best to maintain the existing tone in the management of the Hogwarts clubs and societies, and avoid any major changes."

"The executive committee for the sports meet has already been finalized. The head referee will be Mrs. Hooch, the flight professor. Mrs. Pomfrey will be in charge of assembling a temporary medical team. Professor Sprout will oversee the construction and maintenance of the green field. Professor Dumbledore will serve as the first ambassador for the Sunshine Sports program. We also asked Professor Sinesta, the astronomy professor, to predict the weather a week from now. She said it will be sunny and the weather will be the best in a month."

Lynn shrugged. "Don't jump to conclusions about the weather so early. It's common knowledge that sports meets are always the time when it's most likely to rain. Is there anything else?"

Ian wasn't from China, so he didn't understand why it would rain so easily during the sports meet. He put away the parchment in his hand and nodded.

"There is indeed one more thing. Your cousin has scheduled an appointment with me for this afternoon, saying she has something important to report to you."

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

"What? She couldn't resist her cravings and ate all the snacks, so she's coming to me for help?"

"It's not impossible."

Not long after Ian took the parchment down to prepare for the work, Umaru rushed into Lynn's office in a hurry.

"I've discovered a big problem!"

"Let me make this clear first: if your big problem is related to food, I'll cut off your allowance for a month."

Immediately, Umaru's entire face scrunched up.

"It has something to do with food, but the big issue I'm talking about isn't about food."

Lynn leaned back in his chair, watching as Umaru picked up the teacup on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then spat out the tea leaves, saying it was bitter: "Tell me, what's the big problem?"

Last night I rode my Crook Mountain bike to sneak into the kitchen to steal some food.

Lynn interrupted her before she could finish her first sentence.

"Wait a minute, when did you start hooking up with Hermione's cat?"

"It's my second mount."

"Then you also have Mount Number One?" Lynn asked, squinting at her.

"It's Mrs. Loris, but it's fallen out of favor now. It seems quite happy that I haven't visited it recently."

Lynn only found out today that Umaru had been making a name for herself in the castle all along.

"Crook Hill isn't the point. The point is that on my way to the kitchen, I saw Ron's pet rat, Spotted, acting suspiciously on the first floor. I have a feeling, Lynn, that this rat is definitely suspicious. I chased it all night on my second mount last night but couldn't catch it. It's definitely not an ordinary pet rat."

"You don't need to worry about this. I already know about Banban's problem," Lynn said seriously. "That rat is dangerous for you. You'd better not touch it. Leave this to me."
