7 7 Rat Part 1
After the event of Ron finding the Asphodel Root, the financial situation of the family had already become much more stable. The whole family's mood had been improved, Arthur could afford to stop working overtime and as a result Molly started to worry about her Husband less and less and the whole family, minus Bill, were able to enjoy themselves. After Ron's discovery of the magical herbs in the woods, Arthur and Molly scoured the place where he found the Asphodel Root and managed to find even more precious Magical Plants. For the next few days, the whole family was scouring the woods for any sign of a magical plant or herb and the surprises kept coming in. Within a month, almost each member of the Weasley Family managed to find a Magical Plant and the Plants this time were even more valuable than the previous ones!! ``How did all these Precious Herbs managed to escape our notice for so long?!'' Arthur was questioning his whole life at the sight of the table full of plants that could improve his family's life for a long long time.
Just as the kids wanted to console their father, Molly stepped in and happily said to her husband, ``What are you on about?! When was the last time you or me had come into the forest anyway?! And even when we did, where would we have had the idea of using Revealing Charms in this part of the land!!'' looking at his wife Arthur smiled and said to his family, ``Yeah! it's all in the past anyway! With these plants in our hand, we can definitely help you kids get a better start in life!!'' Ron and his siblings all felt a great sense of happiness in their hearts. With a small source of wealth in their hands, their parents hadn't thought to use it for themselves but for their kids. `This! This is exactly why I will make sure that nothing and no one will ever make you unhappy!!' The next few days were hectic for Arthur as he hurrieldy sold the Potion Ingredients through several sources and even gifted some of them to his superiors in the Ministry of Magic, so that he could earn favours for his family. Meanwhile, after drawing a couple other Runes on his Ring, Ron had started to expand the range of objects he would draw runes on.

With the income from selling the Potion Ingredients, Ron was sure his family would be able to live comfortably for a long time. The next object Ron had started to draw Runes upon was a Cauldron!! With scrap metal as the base and the ``Aeris Imperium!!'' spell form the ` Book of Thousand Spells', Ron had managed to make a Cauldron based on the directions he had found in the books he managed to get his hands on. `This sucks! Even with this Cauldron and my Ring that has the `Magic Shield Rune', Earth Shield Rune and `Air Cushion Rune', I still can't make Potions without danger of hurting myself!!' The child who had yet to become three wanted to make Potions and that too without hurting himself! Even adult wizards had to be careful when making Potions, just the process of preparing ingredients sometimes required immense preparations but Ron had to start making Potions and had to do it now.
After all to catch a Death Eater that had managed to evade both the Ministry and the Death Eaters themselves required one to be extremely daring and courageous!! After his rebirth, the next few months had been spent developing a plan that would allow Ron and his family to benefit the most and within that plan had been a part where he had to capture Peter Pettigrew!! The traitorous wretch who had betrayed his best friends to Lord Voldemort had to be punished for his actions but it had to be done in a way that would bring benefits to the Weasley Family. The first step of this method had probably been the easiest, he just had to steal his brother's pet rat! It had only been a year or so since Percy found the Rat (literally) rummaging around the house and had taken it in as a pet. After Ron's trip with his family to Diagon Alley, Ron had found at least seven different spells that would allow him to expose the traitor's identity in front of his family and no one not even the rat would know who to blame. But it was too dangerous this way and not at all benefitable to the family so Ron opted for the last method, steal his brother's pet and trap it in an metal cage and feed it minimalisticly until he found a way to expose him without putting his family in danger. ``Ahh! You're so not worth this much trouble!''
The `Rat' or Peter Pettigrew was confused at his owner's brother, first he had brought him out of his brother's room and into the shed and had for some reason put him in a cage!! If Peter wasn't absolutely sure that no one living besides his two living `Best Friends' had no idea what his Animagus form was, he might've been a little worried at his situation and try to escape. But he soon came to regret that decision as he saw a change in his comfortable life that he become used to over the year he had been living with the Weasley's, no longer was he able to sleep comfortably, eat delicious food and even spy on the Wizard World in secret. Instead he was stuck in a metal cage, with minimal food and no source of information or entertainment besides watching his capturer, a two year old child use magic and carve runes!!! Although he still believed his identity hadn't been exposed, Peter had started to feel more and more danger as he saw the brat carve runes onto his cage!! If peter still didn't think his identity as a traitor to Wizards or as an Animagus had been exposed , he would be a idiot. But even with this information in his hand, he had no way of doing anything with it. He wasn't a powerful Wizard like Dumbledore or Voldemort who could use magic without a wand neither was he hardworking genius like Ron who could cast magic at the tender age of two!!!
That wasn't the end of Peter's nightmares as he soon became a dummy for Ron's Legilimency training!!! As soon as he heard the spell incantation, Peter knew that he was in for unimageable pain for the foreseeable future.
