Why not Dumbledoor?
Why Dumbledore?
Also need to search him. In case he has any panic buttons or something similar, also an excuse to use pickpocket.[X] You will need to ensure that multiple parties are made aware of this through multiple means. It does not hurt to be thorough.
-[X] Cast Petrifying Curse to Pettigrew in case he wakes up.
-[X] You have Hedwig and Susan Bones! Send Hedwig off with a letter from you and Susan to Amelia Bones.
--[X] Make absolutely sure to note that he's an animagus, and that you are lead to believe he was thought to be some kind of hero but is actually a Death Eater, so he needs to be questioned thoroughly.
-[X] Have someone go fetch a prefect and any adults with actual authority on the train, notifying them that an animagus Death Eater has been found and captured in Harry Potter's compartment.
--[X] If they can find anyone else with a Post Owl, see about borrowing them to send additional letters if other means of communication are not available. Send additional letters to Dumbledore and Moody.
-[X] If possible, ensure you stick with Mr. Pettigrew until he has been handed over to a proper authority in front of multiple witnesses. Ensure anyone you're handing him to isn't evil. Proper authorities would include Albus Dumbledore or Aurors.
-[X] Send someone else to find if someone has a camera that can be borrowed so evidence can be gathered, like pictures of Mr. Pettigrew and his Dark Mark. Also see if you can get any history from Ron on where he got the rat and its known history.
Post owls can take time to actually reach their destinations. Sometimes days. We should be cautious and take a multi-pronged approach.
@Halpo133 How likely is it that the trolly lady or conductor might have a magic mirror or such to contact one of the adults in the castle? Honestly I doubt they'll be able to apparate to the train because a moving steam train is one of those things you don't try teleporting onto unless you want to get squished under the wheels but if they do it's a way to contact Dumbledore.
[X] You have Hedwig and Susan Bones! Send Hedwig off with a letter from you and Susan.
-[X] To Amelia Bones, ask her to bring Moody with her when she comes to appropriate the rat.
-[X] Cast Petrifying Curse to Pettigrew in case he wakes up

Might not be the best idea to tell the head of law enforcement what she needs to do.

-[X] To Madeye Moody, he is a trustworthy auror which is basically a magic cop. He will know who to arrange for this, if he doesn't come personally
mmm, point. I took a breakfast break mid writing and didn't see your plan which is fairly solid. So I am ok with it. I would still prefer to prioritize contacting moody, even if we have to do this through official channels.My problem with sending a letter to Moody first is that he might blow any letter we send up thinking it's a trap. Because he's paranoid as fuck. It's why I'm sending a letter to him last.
Oh man, wish this skill was higher, we could just rip the information from his mind
Also, @Enjou, could you add something about asking people why he was thought to be a hero... would allow us to learn about whom was sent to Azkaban, without us revealing the quest about Black...
