Chapter 416 I Would Rather Die! I Will Not Betray My Comrades!
"Peter!" Lupine roared and tried to rush forward.
But he was quickly stopped by Dumbledore.
If he hadn't stopped him, there's no telling how Peter Pettigrew would have been beaten by the furious Lupine.
"What...is going on with him now?"
Dumbledore asked, looking at Peter who didn't know anyone over there.
"He's fine, he was just knocked unconscious by me." Blake explained.
"Oh...that's good." Dumbledore nodded.
Peter cannot die now because he is a witness.
If he died, Sirius' case would still not be completely vindicated.
He needs absolutely conclusive evidence without any flaws!
Only in this way can the Ministry of Magic finally admit its mistakes and vindicate Sirius.
Sirius was already experienced in many battles.
In the end, he committed such a betrayal, and many people were unwilling to believe it and did not understand it...
Now the truth has come out, confirming that he was the one who was wrongly accused.
So, Dumbledore desperately wants to help him...
After all...strictly speaking, as Harry's godfather, he was one of Harry's few relatives in the world.
Dumbledore strode up to Peter and began to check Peter's current status.
"So...what is going on?" Professor McGonagall pursed his lips and asked again.
It seemed that among the people present, Dumbledore, Lupin and others knew what was going on.
But I... don't know anything.
No one even came to explain himself.
Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout also looked puzzled.
Professor Babling looked at Blake thoughtfully.
In her impression, Blake would always be present for such strange things. "Seven two seven" As for Snape, he had an expression of gloating on his face.
Although Peter was suddenly still alive, it surprised him.
But the internal strife among the four predators... made him even more happy!
He just likes to watch this kind of fun! Thank you for your trouble.
But soon, his gloating expression disappeared.
Instead, there was deep disgust.
Because Dumbledore called him over and asked him to use the potion to wake Peter up.
After Professor Lupin's anger gradually subsided.
At first, Professor McGonagall and several other people who didn't know what happened simply told the whole thing.
In order not to cause unnecessary trouble to Blake.
He originally planned to omit the part about Blake summoning the spirit.
But obviously, if this part is omitted, there will be no way to explain why we know that the new secret keeper is Peter.
Moreover, a person who was supposed to be dead suddenly came back.
This does not mean that he is a traitor.
Maybe they have some last resort difficulties?
Therefore, Baiping had to explain all this clearly.
When it comes to Blake summoning the ghosts of Lily and James.
Professor McGonagall and the others all looked at Blake with shocked eyes.
The system prompts also sounded violently at this moment!
Blake looked at an extra diamond treasure chest in the system space, followed by four gold treasure chests.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. There's no way, it's not his style to have wool but not Ting...
Then, Lupine talked about how a few of them, in order to accompany him, became Animagus in the fifth grade.
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but cover her mouth.
"I have known for a long time that James and the others are very talented in transformation..."
"But I didn't expect...that they would actually become Animagus at that time.
"Even Peter..."
Professor McGonagall is also an Animagus.
Of course I know how dangerous and difficult it would be without anyone's guidance.
If you don't have enough understanding of transfiguration, and you don't have enough courage.
There is absolutely no way to succeed!
If you fail... death may be the most pleasant result.
Otherwise... becoming half human and half beast would really be a life worse than death.
What shocked her even more about this incident was that Peter could actually succeed at that time.
This probability is as incredible as suddenly hearing that Neville was ranked first in grade.
Snape curled his lips, feeling a little unhappy when Professor McGonagall said that James and his group were talented.
Lupine continued, until he said that James and Sirius were discussing privately changing Peter Pettigrew to the Secret Keeper.
Professor McGonagall couldn't help but exclaimed. "This...Peter...how is this possible?"
But that’s the truth!
Change of Confidentiality Keeper.
This is enough to prove that the real traitor is the new Secret Keeper, Peter Pettigrew.
The location protected by the Red Loyalty Curse, unless the secret keeper proactively informs it.
Otherwise, even if Voldemort arrived at the door of his house, he would not be able to see anyone in the house, even if he looked close to the window.
Professor McGonagall felt puzzled again.
That timid, timid guy.
He actually betrayed his best friend’s whole family!
Moreover, he is a good friend who has helped him a lot since he was a child!
To be precise, Professor McGonagall would rather believe that Sirius is really a traitor than believe that the weak and helpless Peter is a traitor...
However, it was obvious that long before James replaced him as a secret keeper, he had already quietly delivered news to the mysterious man.
Because at that time, the mole in the Order of the Phoenix has never been found until now.
Now it seems that it is undoubtedly Peter.
Professor McGonagall felt like her heart was piercing.
The Order of the Phoenix protected many people.
And the timid Peter couldn't help much in the battle.
Therefore, he is also someone who is protected by the Order of the Phoenix.
But now, the person who was being protected with all his heart stabbed the person who was protecting him from the back...
That feeling of betrayal... is indescribable.
"Oh... James and Lily must have been so sad and desperate at that time..." Professor McGonagall murmured to himself.
Lupine looked at the unconscious Peter with red eyes for a while before he managed to control his anger again.
He continued: "Blake heard that Peter Pettigrew's Animagus image was very similar to Ronald's pet rat Scabbers."
"He thinks Scabbers is most likely Peter Pettigrew. Because Sirius follows the Hogwarts Express all the time."
"We originally thought he was looking for trouble with Harry, but now it seems that he was looking for Peter, the mouse...
The next process is much simpler.
When they went to find Banban together, they discovered that he seemed to have been eaten by a cat.
So they had to give up.
Then, right now, Blake suddenly opened the dimensional door and called them all over.
Said Peter Pettigrew was caught...
After Lupine finished speaking, there was silence.
Everyone is digesting what they just heard.
After a while, Professor Liwei suddenly said:
"That is to say...Sirius, who is currently wanted by the Ministry of Magic, is in extreme danger!"
"The Ministry of Magic has sent out the dementors... in case he is discovered by the dementors..."
Dumbledore pondered: "Blake should be safe now."
"Because he is an Animagus, as long as he maintains the body of an animal."
"Those dementors without eyes wouldn't be able to recognize him."
Professor McGonagall said: "It is not an option to keep him outside. What if...
"If we haven't asked the Ministry of Magic to rehabilitate him and he is caught in advance..."
"The consequences would be really unimaginable!"
Dumbledore turned to look at Blake: "Can't your teleportation magic be able to teleport directly to someone's side?"
"Then can we find Sirius?"
Blake shook his head, "Can't find it."
"Why?" Dumbledore frowned slightly and said.
"Because Sirius must be wandering around like a big black dog now."
"With my magic, if you want to find someone, you need the person's name and current appearance..."
"I have a name, but... Professor, do you know how many big black dogs there are in this world?"
Blake shook his head, indicating that there was no way to teleport directly to him.
Dumbledore was also silent. Blake had never seen Blake's Animagus, he only knew that it was a black dog. This range was too large. There really is no way...
Dumbledore pondered for a while and said:
"If this is the case, then we have to seize the time to help him clear his grievances."
"As long as the Ministry of Magic rehabilitates him quickly, he will be safe."
Professor Flitwick said: "We have no choice but to do this. He should be safe in a short period of time.
"It's just that we have to hurry up now."
Dumbledore looked at Snape.
At this time, Snape had been standing aside and watching indifferently for a long time.
Dumbledore glanced at Peter, who was still lying on the ground like a dead man.
"Severus, this..."
Snape sneered, he had already woken up. Just pretending to be dead.
Everyone looked at Peter.
Sure enough, after hearing Snape's words, Peter's fingers moved involuntarily...
"Get up and stop pretending." Snape gave Peter a wolfish kick.
This time he kicked Peter in the ribs, causing Peter, who was pretending to be dead, to scream in pain.
If you make a noise, you will naturally not be able to pretend anymore.
Peter shivered and got up from the ground.
"............"
Peter's stiff laughter revealed the fear and despair in his heart.
The eyes of everyone present were like knives piercing his body and his heart.
So many years have passed.
It is impossible to say that Peter did not regret.
Of course he regretted it.
18......
"Peter, do you have anything else to say?" Dumbledore said calmly.
But everyone knew what kind of fire lay beneath his calm tone.
"I...I didn't betray them! No!" Peter denied loudly and tremblingly.
"You still don't want to admit it?!" Lupine rushed over and slapped Peter to the ground.
Dumbledore stopped him again: "Remus John! Calm down!"
He looked at Peter again, "Actually, whether you admit it or not, it doesn't have much impact on this matter."
"You were supposed to die as a hero, but now you are hiding in a little wizard's house, pretending to be a pet mouse, for more than ten years..."
"That raises enough suspicion on you for the Ministry of Magic to use Veritaserum."
Peter's body shook violently.
He really wanted to continue denying it, wanted to continue making up a story, and then say that he had something to hide, and that the real traitor was actually Sirius.
Something like that.
However, Dumbledore actually wanted to use Veritaserum directly!
There's no way he could withstand Veritaserum
Peter's heart was filled with despair. It was over...
Dumbledore looked at him and knew that this was close to the truth.
"Severus. I assume you have Veritaserum with you?"
"Of course." Snape took out a bottle of Veritaserum from his pocket.
This was something he carried around with him, thinking about when he could pour it into Potter's mouth with his own hands...
Now it happened to be used on Peter.
"No...you can't..." Peter screamed and backed away.
Blake took the Veritaserum from Snape's hand with a smile and stepped closer to Peter.
When Peter saw Blake, he was terrified.
The system directly exploded a gold treasure chest for him.
There is no other way, Blake cut off little Peter with a knife, and now he is Peter's nightmare.
"Why not?" Blake said as he moved closer to Peter.
"As you said, if you never rebelled.
"Then just drink the truth serum generously and answer our questions."
"Why are you afraid?"
"I...I..." Peter stepped back step by step, and soon, he had no way to retreat. 0.1
Behind him is a wall.
Peter tried to escape by transforming into a mouse.
But his Animagus abilities have not been restored yet!
There is no hope of escape...
The solemn despair and regret made Peter a little hysterical.
"No...you can't..."
"I...I can't help it!"
"I can't help it!"
"The Dark Lord is so powerful, who can resist him?"
"Why can't you obey him?"
"I...I just want to live..."
Lupine roared angrily, "Survive? What do you want those people who desperately protected your life to think?"
"What do you want James and Lily to think?"
"Don't they want to live?"
"They treat you so well...why do you do this!"
"You just killed those who were kind to you..."
"Yes! You did survive! But! Have you really lived with such peace of mind in these years?"
Peter's legs were too weak to stand, and he sat down directly on the ground.
The feeling of regret that had been suppressed in his heart surged up again.
"No...you don't understand..."
"You don't understand how terrifying the Dark Lord is..."
"I bet if you were the person standing in front of him at that time, you would also compromise!"
Lupine roared angrily, "Would I compromise? Let me tell you! Peter! I would rather die than betray my friends and best friends like this!"
"If it were me, I would pick up my wand and fight him!"
"Even if my wand is broken and my limbs are broken, I will still attack with my teeth! Not the so-called compromise!"
