Chapter 425 Even the Dark Lord Is Not as Cruel as You

Peter Pettigrew's words plunged Harry and others into confusion again, and things that were once completely certain seemed to become uncertain again.

"It seems that this is all you have left to slander people! Why don't you first explain why you disguised yourself as a mouse and hid for more than ten years?" Sirius sneered.

"It's Lupine, Lupine has been chasing me! I must hide, I must hide!" Peter Pettigrew shouted like crazy.

"Professor Lupin?" Harry and others said in shock.

"Yes, that's right, Lupine is actually a werewolf! The person who betrayed James was not only Black but also Lupin!"

Peter Pettigrew once again broke the shocking news, and then he became smoother and smoother as he continued to speak with tears in his eyes.

"Do you know why Lupine has been so poor these years? He always suspected that I was still alive, so he was ready to kill me to silence me. He even gave up his job for this and would rather go hungry!

Lupine has been searching for traces of me all over the world in the past few years, because only I know their evil face. He came to Hogwarts as a professor this year. He must have known where I am here."

Peter Pettigrew was crying like a tearful man. He looked at Harry and said.

"Besides, I want to stay by your side and protect you, Harry! You must not imagine how happy I was when I first saw you at Hogwarts."

Ivan's face became very strange when he knew the truth. He knew that Peter Pettigrew was very cunning, but he never expected that this guy was so good at making things up.

Fortunately, he was more cautious and did not reveal Peter's identity in public, otherwise, among other things, Lupin's werewolf identity would have been revealed.

"How dare you, Peter, you filthy bug? It's not enough for you to slander me, but you also plan to implicate Lupin?" Sirius angrily grabbed Peter's collar and punched him hard. on his nose.

Peter screamed in pain, and the bridge of his nose was crooked. Nosebleeds and snot were mixed together, and various red and white substances spurted out from his nose.

Sirius didn't stop and punched him again, causing Peter to yell like crazy.

"Help, he wants to kill me so no one knows the truth! Stop him quickly"

Harry and others who were watching were at a loss. Ivan was a little worried that Peter would be beaten to death directly, so he wanted to offer words of comfort.

At this moment, the door of the Screaming Shack was suddenly opened, and a voice came.

"Peter never thought that you would say that to me behind my back. Your ability to make up stories is much better than before!"

Everyone turned to look over, and Lupine, wearing a patchwork robe, walked in from the door. His face looked a little sickly pale, and he held a wand tightly in his hand.

Sirius was not surprised to see Lupine, because he was the one who invited him, but he keenly noticed that something was wrong with Lupine's state.

"What's wrong with you, Lupin? Are you okay?" Sirius threw the bruised and bruised Peter aside, frowning and asking in confusion.

"I just took the wolfsbane potion, and my condition has been relatively bad these days!" Lu Ping shook his head, saying that there was nothing wrong with him.

Ivan interrupted their conversation at this time and said emphatically. "The genuine Wolfsbane potion does not have such a debilitating effect. You may have been tricked by Snape."

"Maybe! After all, he has never liked me very much, so long as it works," Lu Ping said with a wry smile.

He had to transform once a month. Although the potion Snape gave him would have side effects and make him weak, it could at least suppress his ferocity after transformation, which was enough for him.

You must know that the price of genuine wolfsbane potion is not cheap. He has just become a professor and does not have much money. His years of wandering have developed the habit of saving when he can.

Then, Lupine turned to look at Harry and the others and said apologetically. "I'm sorry for keeping it secret from you for so long. I was worried that my werewolf identity would cause some panic, so I chose to keep it a secret."

Regardless of the pain, Peter Pettigrew's distorted face suddenly showed a look of excitement. He pointed at Lupin and said loudly. "Did you see that he admitted that he was a werewolf?"

"Even if Professor Lupine is a werewolf, it doesn't prove anything. There are good people and bad people in any group. The idea that werewolves are evil is just the prejudice of many wizards. I believe Professor Lupine is a good person!"

Hermione interrupted Peter and spoke to Harry and others.

"Right, Harry, Ron!"

"Yes, Lupine is the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor I have ever seen!"

Harry thought of Lupin's dedicated teachings during this period and how he usually cared about him, so he quickly made his choice.

After all, his best friend and most trusted professor stood up and told him that Sirius was innocent and that Peter was the real culprit who betrayed his parents!

This made the originally swinging balance in Harry's heart now completely tilt to Sirius's side.

Ron also nodded dully. He looked at Peter in a daze, still a little unconvinced that his beloved mouse would turn into a bald old man.

Even if it changes into something else, why is this happening?

The excitement on Peter Pettigrew's face stopped. Seeing everyone present defecting one by one, despair gradually spread in his heart.

Peter worked hard to crawl to Ivan's feet, grabbed Ivan's thigh, and asked aloud with the last glimmer of hope.

"Hals! You are so smart, you will definitely believe me, right?"

"Excuse me, Peter, why do you do this every time? There is nothing new, but the stories you make up are getting better and better!" Ivan complained helplessly and kicked Peter Pettigrew aside.

After thinking about it, Ivan waved his wand and created a rope to tie him up tightly, and added a magic that made people weak.

Although Peter without a wand in his hand does not pose a threat, it is better to be on guard. After all, there are little wizards like Harry, Hermione, and Ron here. It will be difficult if Peter suddenly attacks and kidnaps them.

Peter Pettigrew, who fell into the corner, fell into a deeper despair after hearing Ivan's words. The pain in his body could not cover up the chill that shot up from the soles of his feet into his heart.

He was not stupid. Combining his intermittent memories in the past few days, he quickly thought of something extraordinary and suddenly took a breath of cold air. No wonder he always felt that there was something he couldn't remember these days.

Peter looked at Ivan again, trembling as if he were looking at a demon. He felt that even the Dark Lord would not necessarily be so cruel.
