Chapter 349 Peter Pettigrew

There are always many things in this world that you have to accept, and there are also many people who force you to grow. Peter Pedro was the one who forced Ron to grow up.

Although neither of them did this voluntarily.

Seeing the screaming Ron, no matter how much they disliked him, he was still his biological brother. Fred and George sighed, walked to Ron's side, and comforted their injured brother.

Why do you think about this? Why do you feel sorry for Ron? The pet he is holding is actually a man! This man sometimes "sleeps in the same bed" with me! Because of this man, he actually quarreled with Hermione and almost broke off their friendship!

Ron was completely stunned, his eyes were so wide open that they almost flew out.

Harry and Hermione were also shocked. Although they already knew that the mouse was Peter, they were still so shocked when they saw this scene that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

Peter, who was forced to reveal himself, stood there, wringing his hands. He glanced at everyone, breathing rapidly, not knowing what he was thinking.

He was a very short man, with matted, sparse hair and a large bald spot on top. He looked wrinkled, like a fat man who had lost a lot of flesh in a short period of time; his skin was dirty, and his pointed nose and watery mung bean eyes still had the characteristics of a mouse.

"Hello, Peter." Lupine said happily. He had long been accustomed to mice becoming his classmates in front of him, "Long time no see."

"Sirius... Remus..." Peter's voice was high-pitched, trying to be calm, "My friends... my old friends... I'm so glad to see you again..."

Sirius impulsively raised his wand, but Lupine caught his wrist and turned to Pettigrew, his tone still cheerful and lighthearted.

Lupine said: "We were chatting just now, Peter. Speaking of what happened the night Lily and James died, I wonder if you have anything to add?"

"Remus, you won't believe him, will you...? He wants to kill me, Remus..." Peter said hastily, beads of sweat appeared on his pale face, and he turned to Dumbledore, " Professor, Professor, you know that I am as timid as a mouse..."

This was Peter's last struggle, just like he had done before. Only by framing Sirius again could he survive.

Dumbledore looked at Peter with his blue eyes, and the principal said gently: "I know, of course I know. When you are at school, you always follow James and Sirius. Only when they are there, you will Act a little braver. After James was killed, you dared to face Sirius alone, which makes me admire your bravery."

It sounds like Dumbledore is on Peter's side and speaking for Peter. But as Peter himself said, how could someone as timid as a mouse dare to face the crazy Sirius alone?

"He wants to kill me, Professor, he killed Lily and James, and he wants to kill me!" Peter screamed, "Help me, Professor, help me, please..."

A grown man burst into tears, which made Ada frown. Snape, who was next to Ada, finally reacted. For some reason, Snape began to tremble. He didn't know whether it was because of anger or fear.

"You said that Sirius killed James and Lily, and wanted to kill you..." Lupine's voice became colder, "Then why didn't he come and kill me?"

"I...I..." Peter faltered a few times but didn't come up with a clear answer.

Peter seemed to have made up his mind and refused to admit it. He pointed at Sirius and framed him: "He is the only one who escaped from Azkaban, and he was the only one who did it! That person who must not even be named must have taught him a few tricks." !”

"Voldemort? How many tricks did you teach me?" Sirius laughed, a terrible, joyless laughter that filled the whole room.

In denial and distortion of facts, Peter's words made Sirius's face become so angry that he wanted to kill Peter directly. Lupine knew Sirius well, so Lupine had been stopping him to prevent him from being too impulsive.

"Since you are innocent, why are you hiding?" Dumbledore asked, pretending to be confused, "I can provide you with protection. Voldemort has also lost power, and you have also received the Order of Merlin."

"I'm afraid...Professor," Peter screamed, "I sent the Death Eater general Sirius Black to Azkaban. I'm afraid that the remaining Death Eaters will take revenge on me!"

Dumbledore continued to ask: "I still don't understand. When Voldemort was at his peak, you didn't hide, but joined the Order of the Phoenix with your friends to fight against him. Why after Voldemort was defeated, several ineffective remnants , but makes you feel afraid and want to hide?"

Peter wiped his face again. The questions from Dumbledore and Lupin made him almost breathless, and Dumbledore's next words made Peter even more desperate.

"There is indeed a spy in the Order of the Phoenix. He has been secretly passing information to Voldemort." Dumbledore looked at Lupine and continued, "I'm sorry, Remus, I once doubted you."

Lupine shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind. Sirius behind him squeezed his shoulder to comfort Lupine.

"After James's accident, I placed the target of suspicion on Sirius." Dumbledore looked at Sirius again, "He can betray even his best friend, why wouldn't he betray the Order of the Phoenix? "

This time it was Lupine's turn to comfort Sirius. Lupine patted the back of his old friend's hand. His family knew his own affairs, and although it was hard to be misunderstood, Sirius could not accept it.

However, Sirius still rolled his eyes at Dumbledore, just shy of making an international gesture.

"But there are too many doubts about this matter. Even though Sirius was imprisoned in Azkaban, I couldn't convince myself." Dumbledore's voice was still gentle, "Tell me, Peter, what should I do?" How can I convince myself?"

Peter mumbled incoherently, talking about "Black family", "Lestrange" and the like, as if trying to prove that Sirius was related to Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Sirius kept sneering, and Lupine's eyes became colder and colder. Only Dumbledore still had a gentle smile on his face. The twins were still comforting Ron who collapsed, while Ada was too lazy to speak and was making her own plans in her mind.

"Professor?" Hermione asked timidly, "Can I - can I say something?"

"Of course, Miss Granger." Dumbledore said kindly, "I heard about your discovery from a certain prefect. Your intelligence is your extraordinary asset, and you are better than a certain prefect." Be more obedient.”

Ada finally raised her eyelids. She was very dissatisfied: The bad old man is very bad. If you praise Hermione, just praise Hermione. Why are you taking me with you!

"He and Harry have lived in the same dormitory for three years. Why has he never hurt Harry?" Hermione asked.

Hermione's doubts were also Harry's doubts. In the past three years, Peter had a thousand chances to kill him.

"That's right!" Peter grabbed the life-saving straw at once. He wanted to kneel down to Hermione and kowtow a hundred and eighty times, "Professor Dumbledore, I haven't touched a single hair on Harry's head. If...if I really betrayed James, why didn't I kill Harry?"

"You dare not, and you can't do it," Dumbledore said, "and Voldemort has disappeared for many years, so you have no reason to do this anymore."

Peter is not loyal to Voldemort. He is just afraid of Voldemort's terrifying power. He only follows the powerful wizard, and he will not give his loyalty to Voldemort.

Selling James and Lily was just a way for Peter to gain a higher status.

"Believe me," Sirius walked to Harry and said, "Believe me, Harry. I have never betrayed James and Lily, and I would rather die than betray them."

Harry did not shy away from Sirius' sudden touch of his hair. He believed in his godfather.

After Professor Lupine entered the room, he did not attack Sirius; after Ada entered the room, she did not attack Sirius, but knocked Snape down. You must know that Ada had injured Sirius before.

Two people he trusted had sided with Sirius. Later, Lupine and Sirius gave reasonable explanations, and Harry gradually believed in Sirius.

After that, Dumbledore also came, and Peter also revealed his true form, putting the matter to a conclusion. Even the most stupid person knows that Sirius was wronged and Peter was the culprit, not to mention that Harry is not stupid.

Seeing that Harry didn't dodge, Sirius smiled happily, and Lupine was also very happy. Some people are happy, and some people are unhappy. Snape is still as expressionless as a log, Ron is still broken, and Peter Pedro finally accepted his fate.

Peter knelt down. He crawled towards Harry on his knees, begging Harry for forgiveness, hoping that Harry would spare his life for James' sake. Harry quickly hid behind Sirius, and Sirius kicked Peter, knocking him to the ground.

"Get away! Stay away from Harry!" Sirius roared, "How dare you mention James' name in front of Harry!" As he said this, he kept kicking and hitting Peter.

Peter cowered to avoid Sirius's fists and kicks, and he crawled towards Lupine again, but before he could crawl to Lupine's side, Lupine shouted him back.

Peter immediately changed direction and crawled towards Ron. While crawling, Peter said: "Ron... I'm not your good friend... a good pet? You won't let them kill me, Ron, right... You will stand by me, right?" "

Ron glared at Pettigrew with utter disgust and shouted at him to "go away". The twins were even more direct. One of them punched Peter and gave Peter a pair of glasses.

"The farce is over, Peter," said Dumbledore. "It's time to atone for your crimes."

Peter knelt there, trembling uncontrollably, crying and begging: "Professor, please, please don't..."

Before he could finish pleading, Peter turned into a mouse again, and then some metal bars surrounded him, eventually forming a metal cage. All of this was of course Dumbledore's handiwork.

"I can't let you kill him, I want to take him to see Fudge." Dumbledore said, "Besides, I don't think Remus should go out tonight."

This was a reminder to Lu Ping that today was the full moon and it was already getting late. Lu Ping really couldn't leave here.

Ada, who had been silent until now, stood up. She took out a small bottle from her pocket and walked quickly to Lupin. Ada said: "Wolfsbane potion, Professor."

This was Ada's little habit. After accepting Snape's extra lessons in confinement, Ada would make another potion in private, no matter whether it was needed or not. The original fire-proof potion and tonight's wolfsbane potion were all derived from this.

"The wolfsbane potion you took before was brewed by Ada," Dumbledore explained. "It was all done by her under the supervision of Severus."

Taking the small flask, Lupine said: "Thank you very much for your help. Sirius and I don't know how to thank you enough."

Sirius also said: "Yes, it was you who saved me, and it was you who allowed me to meet Professor Dumbledore and my old buddy Remus."

Ada pointed at the messy room, the broken sofa, the overturned bookcase, etc. If Lupine stayed here at night, he would definitely cause more damage.

Sirius reacted immediately and said, "I will pay for it. I will bear all the losses in the room!"

"My brother is injured, very seriously." Ada pointed to Ron behind the twins and said, "And you made my brother lose his favorite pet."

"I've paid for all the medical bills!" Sirius, who was wealthy, said, patting his chest. "I've also paid for the new pet. How about a new mouse?"

Ron shook his head wildly with a look of resistance. Apparently, after the spider, another animal left a psychological shadow on Ron, and this time there was also a personal insult.

"I think an owl is better, Sirius." Lupine suggested. "Of course, a smart cat or dog would also be good."

Everything that happened in the hut tonight was resolved satisfactorily. Except for Lupine who drank the wolfsbane potion, the group of people left the Twilight hut.

At the front was Sirius in his dog form, who would stay in Harry's dormitory tonight. Following behind were Harry, Hermione holding Crookshanks, the twins supporting Ron, and of course the zombie-like Snape.

Tonight was also a huge shock to Snape. He did nothing, neither succeeded in revenge, but almost let his enemy go. Compared with these two things, being easily knocked down by Ada was nothing.

Ada walked last with Dumbledore carrying the mouse cage, and she and Dumbledore would not return to the castle. She would accompany Dumbledore to London.

Probably, maybe, it could be that Dumbledore found that it was very secretly satisfying to have someone help him fight against the Ministry of Magic...
