Rats in the Chamber of Secrets...

[sophineclaire]

I finally got to see the movie last night.
Go me!.

WHen Harry was running through the Chamber of Secrets, he looks down 
and sees a couple of rats scurrying besides him and I wondered, 
could one of them be Scabbers? Surely any and all rats would be 
devoured by the Basilisk! (well, almost all anyways). WHy would 
Columbus do such a thing??

But if you look ahead to book 4, one might assume that Pettigrew and 
voldemort discussed the various was to return V to a human body.
V mentions a diary he had in school ( so not only he'd have a human 
body, but the young body of his former self) but Pettigrew is given 
the ever so delightful task of gelivering the bad news that the 
diary is no more, destroyed by the rotten Potter.

" All the more lucky for you Wormtail" Voldemort hisses " Instead of 
losing your life, you will only have to lose your hand. Tis a pity 
though, I was rather handsome in my younger days..."
