Urania found McGonagall rearranging books from her personal library, dozens of books flying on top of their heads floating through the tiny drops of dust that sunlight made visible.
"How are you dear?"
Urania place the small cage on her desk next to a bubbling cup, she secured the little door and sense the rat tremble in fear, she continue to brush his aura forcing him to relax.
"I have found evidence and I need advice from an expert"
McGonagall sat on a big chair next to the fire and bowed her head to her.
"May I ask why is Mr. Weasley rat in your power?"
Scabbers started to move his little nose frantically.
"I have a reason to believe this is not a mere rat... I believe this rat is a threat to Harry's life"
Minerva's expression turned from surprise to serious in a second, her furrowed eyebrows accentuated the lines on her forehead.
"Continue..."
Urania exhaled and briefly closed her eyes while the cage tremble violently in her hands.
"This rat is in fact Petter Pettigrew, I've checked his aura, it's an animagus."
Now she looked furious, the tall witch stood promptly and took the cage from the girl's hands, her eyes devoured the little rat in front of her. She took the wand from her pocket and returned the cage to Urania.
"Take him out..." she almost spit the words.
Carefully she opened the cage blocking the exit with her hand, Scabbers immediately dug his teeth on her skin but she didn't flinch. She grabbed him almost crushing his ribs, his small heart beating rapidly.
"Place him on the floor, there's no place to run inside my office" once Urania did so the small rat started to run to random places in the room.
Minerva pointed her wand to him and a blue light came from the top, once it reached him all the human parts began to emerge from the small body. When the transformation was completed a small chubby man was left in the place of the rat.
The man was curled up in a ball, trembling in fear.
Urania took him by the collar to make him stand.
"Listen to me bastard! Who do you think you are? I will kill you myself!" McGonagall grabbed her by the shoulder.
"Petter Pettigrew... I thought you dead, we all mourned your death..." she examined his former student from head to toes and back.
"I... I'mmm so sosorry" his pathetic squeals irritating Urania even more. " I had to hide... like a rat... sisirius trieeedto k-kill me"
"That's it, I'll finish him." Minerva stopped her once more.
"Please professor... you have to believe me" He kneeled grabbing Mcgonagall's hem wiping his tears with it.
"What happened the night the potter's were killed?"
"I... I told you... Sirius went there and I tried to sstop him bu but he tried to kill me... I cut my finger and turned into a rat to save myself... please professor you have to believe me"
McGonagall remained unmoved "Why didn't you go for help?"
"I... I was scared"
"Peter... since you were my student you always demonstrated to have a backup plan to cover for your friends mischiefs, that was your sole purpose on the group, you've mastered your art 13 years later. You had no valid reason to hide for all these years after black was imprisoned."
Urania grabbed his hands and secured them with a rope, then placed a charm on it to prevent him from escaping.
"Petrificus totalus" He fell like a cut off tree Mcgonagall raised an elegant eyebrow and gave her a disapproving look. "Just in case" said the girl.
"Well..." the old witch clapped her hands together "we have to report this to Albus."

Urania felt betrayed as McGonagall started ascending on the stairs to Dumbledore's office, leaving her behind. The headmaster had requested only the older witch attended the meeting, along with a few aurors.
"You know it's not personal... you're here as a student, he doesn't want to blow your cover" Remus casually leaned against the wall.
"I didn't know you could read my thoughts..." She walked in his direction. "I'm guessing you already know what happened."
Remus ran his fingers through his hair and then back to rub his face. "It's too much information to process right now"
"He's innocent..." she squeezed his arm lightly before she left him to his thoughts.
