Harry wrapped his free arm around her shoulders and held her close. Percy had been an annoying prat for most of the time they grew up but that didn't mean that either of them wanted to see him gone. Ron on the other hand... well... He pressed his forehead against Hermione's head, simply holding onto her before exhaling a slow breath.

"The rat is Peter Pettigrew who faked his death so that Sirius, my Godfather, would be arrested and thrown into Azkaban without a trial." Harry could feel himself get a bit angry at the idea and the thought of Sirius being thrown into prison without a trail but he couldn't let his temper get the best of him. Not right now. "Did you know that Sirius never got a trial, Professor?" He didn't blame her and he hoped that she didn't take it as such. It was Dumbledore's fault and the Ministry.

"My father, Sirius, and Peter learned to become animagi when they were in school so they could keep Remus company. Peters form is naturally a rat."
