International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 57 Shadow
"No! You can't!" Peter Pettigrew almost jumped up, but was pressed down by Dumbledore immediately.

"Listen to my explanation! Things are not what you think!" Peter's voice was originally high-pitched and thin, but now that he was emotional, it made people feel as if he was talking to a dolphin.

"I..." Peter had an idea, he suddenly thought of the disadvantages of Animagus, "I was trapped in the body of a mouse for 11 years! I met that traitor back then, and finally had to transform into a mouse Escape. I lost my wand, and before I knew it, I thought I was really a mouse, trapped until now."

Peter suddenly regained his composure.He hasn't realized yet that his memory has been browsed by Dumbledore.

Facing Peter who refused to plead guilty, Dumbledore didn't want to waste his words. "Call Severus here and ask him to bring the Veritaserum," he said directly to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall went out to find Snape, and Peter became hysterical again, "I, you are crazy... nothing, I didn't betray James and Lily... Snape, he hates me, how can you find he comes……"

Lu Ren interrupted Peter's incoherent nonsense impatiently, "Professor Dumbledore never said that he was looking for you because of James and Lily."

Peter seemed to be choking.

Soon, Snape floated in from the door.The moment he saw Lupin, he showed an extremely distorted expression, and he could no longer express his anger, it was hatred.

"Severus—" Lupine wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"Severus, have you got the Veritaserum? I need the strongest Veritaserum." Dumbledore turned sideways so that Snape could see Wormtail, who was Peter.He dragged Wormtail out from behind him with extraordinary strength for an old man, and Wormtail struggled, but to no avail.

Snape was a little shocked, but he quickly recovered from it, showing a happy expression.

Snape took out a vial of clear liquid, pinched Wormtail's jaw, forced his mouth open, and poured two drops into it.Wormtail struggled for a while and then stopped moving.

The despair in his eyes dissipated, and his tensed and deformed cheeks relaxed.

"Can you hear me?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"Okay." Wormtail's voice became low.

"I want you to tell us, 11 years ago, what were you doing the night Lily and James were killed?" Dumbledore asked after taking a deep breath to keep his mind calm.

"I'm running." Wormtail's voice was emotionless.

"Why run away?"

"Because Sirius is going to kill me."

Why is it so hard!Lu Ren complained, Wormtail's desire to survive is really strong.

"Who are the secretaries of the James couple? Have you disclosed their address to Voldemort?" Lu Ren asked directly.

"The Secret Keeper is me, and I told Voldemort their address."

The atmosphere in the office was frozen for a moment, Snape's eyes suddenly seemed to be lit torches, Lupine let out a sound like a wolf whimpering, and Professor McGonagall gasped.

"Why?" Lu Ren asked without emotion.

"I contacted the Death Eaters when Lily was just pregnant. The master was powerful and Dumbledore was old. I thought it was appropriate to offer my allegiance to him. I kept giving them information until then. one day."

"Why?" Lu Ren's tone did not fluctuate at all.Professor McGonagall tried to stop him, but was stopped by Dumbledore.

"I don't want to be in the shadow of James and the others anymore. I have handed over the position of James to the master, and I will be the most dazzling hero under the great master! I will live in the sun and no longer belong to others shadow!
Obviously I am also very talented, but no one recognizes me. When I mention me, I will always be James' friend, that wretched and humble Peter Pettigrew.I don't agree!My grades are obviously better than most of the students, and I also learned the transformation of Animagus in the fifth grade. Why?Why! "Peter Pettigrew got a little excited.

Only Peter's voice echoed in the room.Everyone else showed indescribable expressions.

"Professor, the truth is out. You can contact the Ministry of Magic." Lu Ren turned to Professor Dumbledore and said. "I'm a little tired, may I go back to Gryffindor Tower?"

"Good boy, go back and have a rest." Professor McGonagall hurriedly answered, "You have endured too many things that you shouldn't have to bear today."

"Thank you, Lu Ren. You go back first." Dumbledore also decided to let Lu Ren go back to rest first.

Lu Ren bowed slightly to the professors, and then left the principal's office.

What a heavy answer.

What made Wormtail betray him?jealous?Lu Ren didn't understand.

He once thought that Wormtail was the secret leaked by Voldemort who couldn't stand the torture after being caught by Voldemort, but he didn't expect that it was the Death Eater he took the initiative to join.

Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing the heart, Lu Ren sighed.He walked slowly towards Gryffindor Tower, he was thinking, if he wanted to cast a Fidelity Charm in the future, who would be the suitable secret keeper?
Harry may really be a good choice, the son of the plane, the boy who survived the catastrophe, the only existence who insisted on Voldemort's two records of Avada and the big melon.

However, can I be the secret keeper of my own family?

Lu Ren's thoughts were flying, and today he solved a serious problem, which made him relax a little.He stopped thinking and went back to the Gryffindor common room.

Fudge came quickly.With the expansion of Grindelwald's power, Dumbledore's status has risen, and Fudge was voluntarily "come when he is called, and he is gone".

After learning about the specific situation, Fudge said that he needed to bring Wormtail to the Ministry of Magic to make a statement.Dumbledore, unaware of him, handed Wormtail over to Fudge.

After everyone left, Dumbledore sat on a chair, put his fingertips together, and fell into memory.

After an unknown amount of time, there were some noises outside the office.

"Minerva, I'm sorry, this was an accident." Dumbledore recognized Fudge's voice.

"Go and explain to Dumbledore yourself—"

'McGonagall growling? ’ Dumbledore recognized Professor McGonagall’s voice, ‘She hasn’t been this angry for a long time. '

He remembered something, he stood up quickly, and opened the door of the office.Fudge, McGonagall, and Snape stood outside the door.

"Explain to Dumbledore yourself!" McGonagall pushed Fudge to Dumbledore.Professor McGonagall clenched his hands tightly into fists, and his cheeks were flushed with anger.

The tall Dumbledore stood in front of Fudge, his shadow almost covering Fudge completely.

Fudge shuddered under Dumbledore's shadow.

"Please let me explain, it's very regrettable, but there's no way, but, well, the dementor kissed Peter."
