Felix sorts out what is known

‘From what happened today, Sirius Black’s first target was not Harry, but Ron Weasley. Could it be that the Ministry of Magic made a mistake from the beginning?’

'But it makes no sense. When Black was locked up twelve years ago, Ron was only one year old at that time... Is it considered a personal grudge? The grudge of the previous generation?'

Felix recalled the couple Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley who met at the Burnt Cauldron Bar. They gave him the feeling that they were very friendly and enthusiastic wizards, except that they had a little more children.

‘No, my thinking is off the line. If Black and Weasleys have a grudge, he can find them directly. The Weasleys do not have the double protection of Dementors and Hogwarts.’

‘So, Ron Weasley is the key!’

Felix tried to recall what characteristics this student had. Except for the amazing courage that broke out in the secret room, it was normal afterwards. The assignments handed in there were obvious patchwork marks, and it seemed that they were not very smart...

It's gone far.

He focused on Ron Weasley's life and social circles, from his friends, parents, brothers, and the sister who had been briefly bewitched by Voldemort's Horcrux, it was natural that he thought of Ron's pet spots.

If Ron is not Black's real target, then his only doubt, or the living creature is a pet and rat spot.

"Rat, tsk!" Felix sighed, "I really don't doubt it, but since Black has concealed the fact that he is Animagus, will this mouse be the same? Or is it the victim of a curse being imposed?"

Felix thought for a moment, but he still tended to be Animagus, rather than being subjected to some vicious forced deformation, which can be seen from Black's repeated attacks on Hogwarts regardless of danger.

"Blake absolutely hates that rat."

Felix felt a little tricky. Although the above ideas were based on assumptions and reasoning, it has to be said that the possibility is very high.

In fact, if Banban is a victim of malicious deformation, it would be fine, and it would be better if it was found and sent to Saint Mungo for treatment, but if it was an illegal Animagus, it means that it can turn back into a wizard at any time. The problem is: you cannot tell whether it is an enemy or a friend.

"He may have avoided his enemies, or he may have to hide his identity because of some things." But "a huge absurdity surged in Felix's heart. "Yes, if he really wants to hide, he can choose to avoid the magic world. A wizard can live a very comfortable life. But he didn't. Instead, he felt wronged and hid in the wizard's family and pretended to be a pet mouse. This is definitely not a sign of kindness."

The reason he could think of was that this wizard did not want to disconnect from the magic world. Mr. Weasley worked in the Ministry of Magic and happened to meet his requirements.

At this point, he almost made a basic judgment. The mouse is probably not a good person. When he meets, he will first give a coma curse and put it down before talking about it. Whether to draw information or spit out the real medicine depends on his true identity. As for Sirius Black...

"It's hard to say that the enemy of a bad person is not necessarily a good person, and the reality is too complicated. Moreover, Black ran away from himself twice... Although there is a reason for each time, the feeling of being led by the nose is very bad."

Felix always thought that Black was not very smart. Several parties involved in that year Snape said he was stupid, Lupin said he was impulsive, Professor McGonagall said he was lively, but Fat Lady did not give a comment, but directly revealed a lot of his "adventures" and "great achievements" when he was in school. Some ideas are really not something that normal people can think of.

"This time he was very smart and seized the gap during the Christmas holiday. If Harry hadn't had good strength, he might have succeeded."

Next, Felix did two things.

The first thing he did was to go to the nest of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider in the Forbidden Forest.

The forbidden forest was covered with thick snow, and Felix was wearing a dark cloak. When his figure appeared in a sunken clearing, a clicking sound rang around him.

The open space was also dyed white by snow, and only the central hemispherical spider web nest was conspicuous enough.

"Goke, come out to see me." Felix sent his voice into the spider web nest.

Snowflakes fell down, and several eight-eyed giant spiders slowly walked out of it.

Goke has become the new king of this group of spiders. He occupies the best position in the center of the community, surrounded by several large spiders, looking a bit like a king.

"Witch." Gock said irritably, "Is there anything wrong?"

"This is not a dialogue attitude, Goke, have you forgotten what I said?"

Goke's body froze, "I have no other meaning, I'm just dormant."

"Can the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider hibernate?" Felix asked curiously, would anyone catch a few or extract venom while the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider hibernates?

"Winter will make us uncomfortable, we try to stay in the cave and rarely go out," Goke explained. "But I don't know anything about the outside world. I'm just coming out now."

Felix nodded: "I heard you can control the spiders in the forbidden forest?" In his perspective, there were many spiders with fists crawling rustling on the white spider webs, snow and dead leaves.

"They hibernate and many of them can't survive this winter. What you see are the young spiders of the eight-eyed giant spiders, with thick hairs on their bodies able to withstand ice and snow." Goke said, waving his big claws.

"I happen to need some smart enough helpers." Felix curled up his lips, "Listen, Goke, I need you to look for a big black dog or a stranger in the forbidden forest. It may have a fixed place to stay, such as an abandoned beast cave, and you don't need to do it after finding it. Remember the location and contact me."

Gock thought for a long time and said, "I can only let the young spiders go out. Our size is too obvious and will attract the horses to fight back."

"Yes." Felix agreed. On the way of parting, he gave Goke a large bucket of Sherry wine left after the Christmas gift for Trelawney, which was not very suitable for his taste.

"It counts as a late gift, Goke."

The second thing was that he went to the school hospital and asked Ron about some information about the mouse. Banban actually inherited from his elder brother Percy.

“How long has it been in your house?”

"It's been a few years," Ron said in a daze.

"What about specific?" Felix asked temptingly, "When did you realize its existence, five or six years old, seven or eight years old?"

According to his guess, since it is Percy Weasley's pet, seven years is more reasonable. Considering that the Weasley family is an orthodox wizard family, it may be one or two years ahead of schedule.

Ron thought hard, "I seem to have heard from my mother that Percy should be when he was five or six years old. One morning, he found the spots and immediately decided to raise it. My mother was not optimistic, because it looked like an ordinary mouse and had a toe. But Percy lost his temper, cried and made a fuss, and his mother had to agree to him. This is Percy's dark history, and he was unwilling to tell anyone."

Ron grinned, but ended up ripping the wound on his leg.

"Average mouse, there is still a toe missing..." Felix repeated gently, and he said with admiration: "So, Banban has lived for at least eleven or twelve years? I remember that ordinary mice can live for three years, which is good."
