Chapter 236

"It's all right, Minerva."

Seeing that Peter fell into a drowsy state, Snape turned to look at Professor McGonagall.

"I just wanted to ask why our hero Pettigrew was willing to be a mouse for 12 years."

"What are you doubting?" Professor McGonagall asked angrily.

She really had a big problem with Snape's approach.

Before she exploded, Snape looked down at Peter again.

He asked him directly, "Tell me, Peter Pettigrew, tell me why you didn't die back then, and why you hid."

Professor McGonagall said loudly, "I said..."

At this moment, Peter spoke in an erratic tone.

"Back then, Sirius had me cornered, and I could hear the whole street."

"I said he betrayed James and Lily."

Professor McGonagall suddenly became excited, "Listen, Peter has always been a good boy!"

Snape smiled disapprovingly.

Peter's words continued.

"Then, before he could do it, I blew up the whole street with my wand hidden behind my back, killing everyone within twenty feet of him."

"Then I turned into a mouse and fled to the gutter with other mice..."

Professor McGonagall froze.

She widened her eyes and stroked her heart with her hands.

And Peter's question has not been answered yet, this time no one will bother him.

"I've been avoiding Voldemort's former supporters."

"They all thought I was dead, otherwise I would have to give them an explanation..."

"They thought I lied to them. The mysterious man went to Potter's house based on the information I provided, and then missed there."

"They think You-Know-Who's failure is my fault."

"If they find out that I am still alive, those people will not let me go."

At this time, the principal's office was quiet, and a needle could be heard.

"Do not……"

Professor McGonagall couldn't accept the result, and sat down on the seat clutching his heart.

"The Potters."

When Snape said this, his tone was extremely complicated.

He took a deep breath and asked Peter again, "Why did you provide the information, why did you betray them?"

"Yes, I became their secret keeper, Lily and James."

Peter replied calmly.

"Sirius convinced Lily and James to swap him for me at the last minute, convincing them to use me as a secret keeper instead of him."

"Why?" Snape asked coldly.

"He thinks I'm the humble one," Peter replied. "He's famous. People think of Lily and James' secret keeper, and he's the first thing people think of, not me and Lupine."

"Peterina." Snape's questioning voice became colder and colder, "Tell me, why are you on the side of You-Know-Who?"

Peter expressed his truest thoughts in a ignorant manner, "A year before that incident, the mysterious man found me and threatened me. I obeyed him and became his servant."

He muttered, "The Dark Lord is too powerful, what good is it to refuse him?"

"I can't believe it!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed, "I can't believe it!"

She took off her square glasses with trembling hands, and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

"Dumbledore..." She looked at the Headmaster, "This is incredible, poor Sirius, he doesn't know what's going on..."

She seemed to be at a loss for words, and for a while didn't know how to face Peter, a former student.

So she turned around and sat facing the other party, weeping silently.

At this time, Snape, who was closest to Peter, had already drawn out his wand.

"Oh it's you."

He pointed his wand at Peter.

"Let me come, let me end the life of this shameful traitor, right here!"

His tone was hurried, as if he couldn't wait.

At this moment, Dumbledore finally spoke, "Wait, Severus!"

But Snape still waved his wand, and began to say the incantation of the killing curse.

At the very moment, a red light shot past and hit Snape's body.

Snape staggered, and his wand was out of his hand.

"Forgive me, Severus."

In desperation, Dumbledore raised his hand to catch Snape's wand.

"Albus!" Snape turned around, his face sullen and fierce, "Do you want to cover up this shameful traitor?"

Dumbledore sighed, "You clearly know that things are not as you said."

"I know! Of course I know!"

Snape walked back and forth vigorously, his leather shoes thumping on the floor.

"You want to save the murderer Black from Azkaban, don't you?" He said viciously.

Dumbledore did not deny, "Don't say that, now that we all know that Sirius is innocent, then he shouldn't continue to be tortured in Azkaban."

"He deserves it!" Snape waved his arms excitedly, "That villain! A barbaric murderer! A megalomaniac! He deserves to spend his life in Azkaban with dementors!"

"You have too much prejudice against him." Dumbledore said helplessly.

"That's not prejudice!"

Snape stepped forward, taking his wand back from Dumbledore's hand somewhat rudely.

"I've seen through their essence a long time ago!"

He was obviously very angry, breathing heavily through his huge nose.

"Since they were in school, they have never put other people's lives in their eyes, so no matter what they do later, I will not be surprised!"

Dumbledore sighed again, "Calm down, Severus. It was true that Sirius and James were not very sensible when they were young, but they are also risking their lives to fight against the mysterious man."

"It's just that they like to show off!" Snape snorted, "They want to be heroes in the high places, to be praised by others!"

"They fought to save most wizards!" Professor McGonagall stood up suddenly, and retorted Snape seriously, "They saved a lot of people!"

Snape frowned, "Whatever you say..."

He suddenly smiled.

"I'm just glad I saw what happened to them. The four of them are not very good!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around with his head held high and his chest held high, and walked towards the door of the office.

"Do whatever you want, Dumbledore, I won't interfere anymore." He said with a sneer, "But you should understand that it is not so easy to get the Ministry of Magic to reverse the case!"

He walked to the door and glanced at Scott who was stuck on the wall next to the door.

Then he pushed open the door with one hand, grabbed Scott's collar with the other, and dragged him outside.

Scott, who was full from eating melons just now, let him drag him and walked out with his strength, without any resistance at all.

In his heart, he silently thanked Professor Snape for the melon-eating seat.

Although he can't continue to eat melons if he leaves now, Scott also feels that it is the best choice to leave here with the Potions Professor.
