Chapter 184: A rat in hand

Friday finally came freeing Nick from his lessons for the next three days but he couldn't just laze about during this time as he had received a reply from Ron's father telling him that Moody would be coming to get him early on saturday to take care of business. The deep strokes of the quill on the parchment spoke volumes on the pent up anger that the writer had and Nick knew it was only the mans self control stopping him from attacking Pettigrew already. 'Soon enough we'll trap the bastard.' Nick thought seriously impatiently.-

Meanwhile the rat in question was oblivious to the trap that was slowly starting to close around him as Ron fed him scraps of eggs and bacon from his plate. Arthur had been watching the rat for several days now and the more he saw the angrier he became as he felt like a fool for not noticing the problems with the rat sooner. A decade , an entire decades worth of time has passed and the rat has barely aged at all despite having a lifespan half that long. 'One more day , just one more day and this scumbag with get what he deserves hold it together Arthur.' the head of the house reminds himself.-

Alastor Moody was gearing up for the next day as well by putting a spare wand in his enchanted leather coat with far too many pockets. He had all manner of protective and offensive charms in this coat to the point the thing was a hazard to even get near for anyone else. He had his hagstone cuffs that he developed for wandless magic users despite their rarity , a pair of curse resistant gloves , three bezoars , and various other just in case items hidden on him as he sharpened his mind on the task awaiting him as he needed to act like he wasn't aware of the rats nature when he arrived with Nick.-

Finally saturday came and Nick was fully geared and ready to take care of Pettigrew in any way necessary. Olivander saw Nick's look of determination and merely wished him well when Moody arrived at the shop at seven exactly. He was so focused that he didn't even notice the discomfort of the apparition. "Put on a smile boy can't risk spooking the rat now that we are so close to getting him." Moody said gruffly and Nick cracked down on his emotions with his occlumency before putting on a casual expression like usual that was flawless enough that even Moody was convinced.
