Chapter 261 Leaving

Fan Lin clenched his hands slightly. He didn't have the ability to control Peter Pettigrew, but it was still easy to control Ron. Ron's body flew towards him.

"Professor Lupin..." Fan Lin called out. As the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Lupin should have some emergency response plans for this situation.

Lupin's brows were slightly furrowed. The Weasley family were very loyal and upright people. They had fought side by side in the Order of the Phoenix. As a pure-blood wizard family, all of their wands were unicorn tail hair. Therefore, he didn't believe that the youngest boy in the Weasley family would use such an evil spell to attack his friend. Even if there was jealousy, he would not use the killing curse.

"It's the Imperius Curse!" Lupin whispered. He sighed, obviously feeling sad about Ron's experience.

It is unknown how long Ron was controlled by the Imperius Curse, and the degree of control of the Imperius Curse is unknown. The damage to Ron's soul is impossible to estimate at the moment.

"Damn it!" Fanlin said fiercely. He didn't notice it at first. Even if he suspected it, he didn't want to alert the enemy...

"Is Ron under the Imperius Curse?" Harry exclaimed, "What about Ron now... I mean..."

"I'm sorry, Harry..." Lupin sighed, "I can't be sure what Weasley is like now, but... I think Dumbledore should have a way. He is the greatest white wizard..."

Harry nodded with some difficulty. He turned his gaze to Peter Pettigrew, his eyes full of anger.

Peter also heard the conversation here. Obviously, he had completely lost the opportunity to gain Harry's trust. In fact, he never had it. From the moment he was forced to reveal his original form, he was doomed to fail.

"Oh... no..." Peter knelt on the ground, his whole body crawled down, and his hands were begging.

Peter Pettigrew turned around on his knees, shook forward, and grabbed the edge of Hermione's robe.

"Good girl... smart girl... you... you won't let them... help me..."

Hermione pulled the robe out of Peter Pettigrew's tightly grasped hands. He backed up against the wall, looking terrified. Peter Pettigrew knelt, shaking uncontrollably, and slowly turned his head toward Harry. "Harry... Harry... You look just like your father... Just like him..."

"How dare you talk to Harry?" Black roared. "How dare you face him? How dare you talk about James in front of him?"

"Harry," Pettigrew whispered, shuffling toward him with his hands open. "Harry, James won't let me be killed... James will understand, Harry... He will have mercy on me..." Black and Lupin both stepped forward and grabbed Pettigrew by the shoulders. Throwing him to the floor. He sat there, staring up at them.

"You betrayed Lily and James to Voldemort," Black said, shaking as well. "Do you deny it?"

Peter Pettigrew burst into tears. It was a terrible sight; he looked like an oversized bald baby, shaking on the floor.

"Sirius, Sirius, what can I do? The Dark Lord... you don't know... his weapons are beyond your imagination... I was scared, Sirius, I have never been as brave as you, Lupin, and James. I never did it on purpose... He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named forced me..."

"Don't lie!" Black roared, "You have been passing information to him for a year before Lily and James died! You are his spy!"

"He-he is involved in everything!" Peter Pettigrew gasped, "What's the point of refusing him?"

"What's the point of fighting the most evil demon who has ever lived?" Black said, his face showing a terrifying rage. "It's to save innocent lives, Peter!"

"You don't understand!" Peter Pettigrew lamented, "He will kill me, Sirius!"

"Then you deserve to die!" Black roared. "It's better to die than betray your friends, and we will do the same for you!"

Black and Lupin stood side by side, raising their wands.

"You must understand," said Lupin calmly, "if Voldemort didn't kill you, we would. Goodbye, Peter."

Hermione covered her face with her hands and turned to the wall.

"No!" Harry shouted. He ran forward and stood in front of Peter Pettigrew, facing the two wands. "You can't kill him," he said, breathless, "you can't."

Both Black and Lupin were shocked.

"Harry, this villain made you lose your parents," Black roared, "this servile and dirty guy will not care to see you die. You heard what he said just now, his own stinking body is more important than the lives of your family."

"I understand," Harry panted, "We'll take him to the castle. We'll give him to the Dementors. He can go to Azkaban... just don't kill him."

"Harry!" Peter Pettigrew panted, throwing his arms around Harry's knees, "Thank you - thank you... this is a favor to me... thank you..."

"Let me go," Harry said in disgust, throwing away Peter Pettigrew's hand in disgust. He kicked Peter Pettigrew aside hard, "I'm not doing this for you. In fact, I really want to kill him. You, whether it's what you did to my parents, or what you did to Ron... I did it because I didn't think my dad would want his best friend to kill anyone - especially someone like you."

"You really can't kill him..." Fan Lin said. He agreed with Harry's statement. He had planned this at the beginning. A living Peter Pettigrew would always be more useful than a dead mouse.

Harry nodded towards Fan Lin. He was not surprised by Fan Lin's support. This was a tacit understanding between the two people.

"I don't understand..." Sirius said angrily, "Such a person living here is an insult to wizards and the greatest irony to Hogwarts. He has done so much... why can't he be killed? !”

"Calm down, Black!" Lupine comforted, "I think Fanlin must have a reason for saying this. You know, I believe in him, just like I believe in Harry. We can catch Peter Pettigrew. , and thank you Fanlin..."

"I know, I know..." Black was a little irritated, "But... Okay... Okay, you say... But, if you can't convince me, I still want... Although the decision is up to Harry. in hand."

"A living Peter is always more useful than a dead mouse..." Fan Lin said, he viciously kicked the trembling Peter into the middle, "Although I really want to use some kind of magic spell to remove him from this world. Erase it..."

Hearing this, Peter trembled even more, and he continued to beg and bow down in front of everyone.

"Please, I too...have no choice...don't...don't kill me..."

"Damn it, shut up!" Sirius flicked his wand, and a tongue-locking spell penetrated Peter's body.

"Thank you..." Fan Lin said, he also wanted to do this, but unfortunately he didn't have much magic left.

"I'm finally clean. Now you can say it. I still say the same thing. If you don't..."

"This has something to do with you, Sirius." Fan Lin suddenly said, which startled Sirius.

"Is it related to me?" Sirius asked.

"Yes... you know why you entered Azkaban, right?" Fan Lin said, "If Peter dies here, what is the difference from before? If he dies, then he His honor is completely confirmed. No one can deprive him of the honor of Hogwarts Warrior, and his Order of Merlin, First Class will also lie peacefully in his empty tomb. What he wants in the end is, Sirius, you You will never be able to appear in front of everyone alive. If you really do this, everyone's wands, Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, and Dementors will be waiting for you..."

Harry gasped. If that was the case, it would be too bad for so long. A dead Peter would be of no use at all.

"What do you mean, let him help me clear my grievances?" Sirius asked. He seemed a little tempted, but the opportunity to kill Peter with his own hands was right in front of him, and there was obviously no doubt about his temptation. of.

"Yes, you know, the Ministry of Magic will not believe what we say, even if it is an adult wizard, or even Peter's body, no matter what, they will not drop the charges against you, because of such a thing It is a huge scandal for the Ministry of Magic. Think about it, you were thrown into Azkaban without a trial..."

No one moved or made a sound except Peter Pettigrew. Peter Pettigrew clutched his chest and gasped for air. Black and Lupine looked at each other. After a while, their wands were lowered.

"Okay...but..." Sirius sighed, turning his head towards Harry.

"You're the only one who has the right to make the decision, Harry," said Black, "but think about it... think about what he's done..."

"He can go to Azkaban," Harry added. "If anyone should go there, it's him..."

Peter Pettigrew was still breathing heavily behind him.

"Very well," said Lupine. "Step aside, Harry."

Harry hesitated. "I'm going to tie him up," Lupine said, meaning nothing else. I swear. "Harry stepped aside. This time it was Lupin's wand that shot out the ribbon. In a moment, Peter Pettigrew was tied up, stuffed in his mouth, and writhing on the floor. "But what if you Transform, Peter," growled Black, his own wand pointed at Peter Pettigrew, "and we'll kill you. Do you agree, Harry? Harry looked down at the poor thing on the floor and nodded so that Peter Pettigrew could see. (To be continued)
