Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"It's very simple, you just need to give me the Marauder's Map!"

"Is it this thing?" Ai Wen raised the parchment in his hand.

"That's it!" Peter Pettigrew greedily looked at the Marauder's Map, and screamed, "Give it to me quickly, Alvin! As long as we have its help, we can work together to capture Black, which is A shortcut to success, when the time comes, everyone will praise you, and you will be honored like never before.”

"Really?!" Ivan closed his eyes, as if immersed in the future that Pettigrew Peter said.

"Think about it, Black escaped from prison to kill Harry, you caught him, and you saved Harry." Peter Pettigrew took a step closer to Ivan, and he said in a bewitching voice, "Worse than the savior." Great boy, what will people say about you, the future star of the wizarding world!"

"The future star of the magic world!" Ivan repeated, opened his bright eyes, looked at Peter Pettigrew firmly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You are very good, it is indeed very heart-warming. But it is a pity , you overlooked one, crucial point."

"What?!" Peter Pettigrew asked in surprise.

"You overlooked..." Ivan said slowly, with unprecedented confidence in his voice, "I am different from you, Peter Pettigrew! I will not betray innocent people for my own benefit and for the sake of great power , let alone betray my friends! I will rely on my own efforts to become a great wizard!"

"The great wizard?!" Peter Pettigrew didn't seem to respond.

"Yes, even greater than Dumbledore and Voldemort."

As Aiwen said, he flicked his backhand and threw the Marauder's Map into the burning fire beside him.

Chapter 148 Ai Wen's Bottom Line

"No!" Peter Pettigrew screamed, horrified to see Ivan throw the Marauder's Map into the fire.

He subconsciously rushed over and reached out to grab the map.

This map was the key to his capture of Sirius Black, and he couldn't let it get burned.

In the next second, Peter Pettigrew grabbed the parchment. Reflected by the firelight, the expression on his face was distorted. Emotions such as greed, surprise, humbleness, and joy merged together, making him look extremely ugly.

At the same time that Pettigrew Peter touched the Marauder's Map, Ivan waved his wand and shouted, "Stunned!"

A fiery red light flew from the tip of his wand and hit Peter Pettigrew.

Pettigrew rose from the ground, hit the wall, and then slid to the floor, where he appeared to be unconscious, lying motionless with his wand rolled aside.

Ivan panted heavily, he walked over and took back the Marauder's Map.

The room became quiet again, and the water monster got out from the water plants, looking at the two of them in astonishment.Ivan pointed his wand at Pettigrew Peter, and the tip of his wand erupted into a snake-like ribbon, which automatically wrapped around Peter's neck, wrists and ankles, wrapping him tightly.

Minutes later, Pettigrew woke up.

"Dear, dear boy, what do you mean?" said Pettigrew tremblingly, looking at the rope on his body in horror, and almost stopped breathing.

"Obviously, we all understand what this means." Ivan pointed his wand at Pettigrew Peter, "Before you were about to attack me, I just did it first."

"I don't understand what you're talking about!" Peter Pettigrew looked at Ivan flatteringly, sweat streaming down his cheeks, "There must be some misunderstanding here, I just helped you get the Marauder's Map ..."

"Don't you understand?! This Marauder's Map is just a bait. I threw it into the fireplace on purpose. As I expected, you were hooked." Ai Wen looked at it contemptuously. Peter Pettigrew, "Otherwise, I'm not sure, and I'll knock you down with just a stun spell."

"Seeing you do this, of course I will rush over, I can't just watch you destroy this map!" Peter Pettigrew screamed, "Dear Ivan, you may not know that I made it back then it!"

"I'm not as ignorant as you think, Mr. Wormtail!" Aiwen shook the Marauder's Map in his hand and continued, "You are just one of the makers of this map. Besides you, there are three other Individuals, moon faces, prongs, Padfoot."

"The three of them are my friends, and we made it together." Peter Pettigrew said guiltily, avoiding Ivan's gaze, his face covered with sweat.

"Friends?!" Aiwen's wand sent out a few sparks, and an unprecedented anger rose from the depths of his heart, "Do you really think of the three of them as friends? Or are they props that can be sold at any time for profit?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Peter Pettigrew said in panic, looking at the wand in Ivan's hand anxiously.

Things developed completely beyond his expectations, and he had an ominous premonition.

He could feel that the boy on the opposite side must have known the truth about what happened that year, no matter who told him, it was quite bad for him.

"It seems that I need to continue to add more." Ivan looked at the cowardly Peter Pettigrew, "You are Wormtail, Moon Face is Professor Lupine, the prong is Harry's father James Potter, Padfoot It's Sirius Black!"

"Sirius Black!" Peter Pettigrew, like a man in the water, grabbed the last straw, and he shouted loudly, his voice was high-pitched and thin, "I just said it, Alvin! It was Black who betrayed the mysterious man. James, he also tried to kill me, we all know, he also wanted to kill Harry first, for You-Know-Who..."

"It's Voldemort!"

Hearing this name, Peter Pettigrew shivered, looking like he might faint at any moment.

"Why, afraid to hear your old master's name?!" Aiwen snorted coldly, "Admit defeat, Peter Pettigrew! Since I found this Marauder's Map before you, your conspiracy tonight is doomed!" It might work."

Peter Pettigrew didn't speak, his eyes flicked back and forth between the wand in Ivan's hand and the wand on the floor.

"For me, the Marauder's Map is just a useful magic item, but it is an indispensable thing for you to catch Sirius Black tonight." Ivan continued, "If you don't have this map, you How to tell Snape that Black is in the castle? Snape is not Lucius Malfoy, and with his personality, he will not trust a person who hides his head and shows his tail. He is even less likely to believe you, if he knows What happened back then, I am afraid that I would like to kill you with my own hands."

"This is indeed my original plan, Ivan! Black is a powerful dark wizard, and it would be dangerous to rush forward rashly, so I want to use Snape to lead the charge!" Peter Pettigrew said eagerly, "If you don't Like to do it, we can change the method, no Snape is needed, the two of us can join forces to capture Black, and then we will share all the honors. You can get a [-]st class Sir Merlin like me. "

"Same as you?!" Ivan suddenly laughed, "Same as you, become a rat and lived for 12 years?!"

"No!" Peter Pettigrew screamed hastily, "The situation now is completely different from what it was back then, we don't have to worry about Black's revenge, I read the Daily Prophet a few days ago, as long as we catch him, the dementor Will take care of everything, they'll give Blake a kiss. Then he'll be a living corpse, soulless, walking dead, won't..."

"Stop talking about it, you make me feel sick!" A few sparks appeared from the tip of Ivan's wand, and he said with disgust, "To tell you the truth, I have met Blake before this, and he told me what happened back then. Told me, Harry and Hermione all, you don't need to go on, this farce should be over."

"Listen to me, Alvin!" Peter Pettigrew's voice was trembling and he was out of breath, "I don't know what Black told you, but what happened back then was not what you imagined .”

"I'm not an idiot, I can tell who's telling the truth."

"We need to talk, Alvin!" Peter Pettigrew gasped and exclaimed, "How about doing this? Grab Black, all the honor is yours, I don't want anything. Don't worry Harry and Hermione, I can oblivion or obfuscate them and no one will know..."

"Shut up!" Ivan kicked Peter Pettigrew hard, with such strength that even he couldn't believe it, "Don't touch my bottom line, or I will kill you with my own hands! Also, I Let me tell you again, these honors you call mean nothing to me."

Chapter 149 The Gryffindor Test

Pettigrew screamed and rolled back and forth on the ground in pain.

Ivan was surprised to find that Pettigrew Peter actually started crying.It was terrifying: he looked like an oversized bald baby shivering on the floor.

"Listen to me, Alvin! You're a smart kid..." Peter Pettigrew whispered.

He struggled to crawl towards Aiwen, swayed forward, and grabbed the edge of Aiwen's robe.

"You've said enough today, Peter Pettigrew!" Ivan pulled out his robe from Peter Pettigrew's grip, and he stepped back a few steps to the office door, "If you have anything to say , you can save a moment and tell Dumbledore and the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic, I think they will be interested."

"No, don't!" murmured Peter Pettigrew, "It's Sirius Black..."

"Of course, if you are innocent, they will let you go." Aiwen looked at Peter Pettigrew, "but if you are proven guilty, you will get what you deserve. The dementors outside the school can't wait , maybe they'll give you a kiss."

Hearing the dementor and the kiss of the dementor, Peter Pettigrew's face instantly turned pale, and he couldn't see any blood.

"Let me go, kid!" Peter Pettigrew begged, "It won't do you any good. You want to be a powerful wizard. I'll help you. I know a secret. That thing Possesses powerful magic power, it's in the Forbidden Forest, and I know how to get it."

"If you mean the magic item hidden in the centaur tribe, the magic item left by Gryffindor." Ivan said slowly, "Unfortunately, Black has promised to take me there before you."

"Without my help, you will not succeed!" Peter Pettigrew said hurriedly, "The guardian magic cast by Gryffindor is still in effect thousands of years ago. You must pass the final test and overcome the deepest part of your heart." The most real fear is the only way to get that thing. That magic is so powerful that no one will succeed. But I know a method, a shortcut, which the Dark Lord told me, and I can..."

"Not everything can be taken a shortcut, Peter Pettigrew!" Ivan looked at Peter with pity, with great confidence in his voice, "If that is the test left by Gryffindor, then I believe I can overcome it .”

"Wait a minute, I have something else..."

"We have wasted too much time. After handing you over to the professors, I still have to find Sirius Black, save Ron, and go to the auditorium for dinner. There are so many things waiting for me to do, let's end this as soon as possible." Everything, let me see where Professor Dumbledore is, he may have returned!" Ivan tapped the Marauder's Map in his hand with his wand, "I solemnly swear that I did nothing good."

Following Aiwen's words, ink lines as thin as spider webs appeared on the Marauder's Map.

The blue and black lines on the Marauder's map detailed all the details of Hogwarts castle and various venues, and small ink dots moved along the map began to appear on it, and each ink dot was marked with tiny letters. Come up with a name.

Ivan first glanced in the direction of Dumbledore's office, but there was no one there.

He looked down and saw that most of the people who stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas were gathered in the auditorium, it should be dinner time now.But Ivan didn't see Harry, Ron, and Hermione. He quickly swept towards the Gryffindor tower, where Harry and Hermione were, and in front of them was Sirius Black.

When Sirius Black entered the castle, he should have brought Peter to him immediately.

Wait a minute, where did Ron go? !

Ivan's eyes turned back, and Ron was not seen anywhere.

The next second, he suddenly saw that in Professor Lupin's office on the third floor, besides himself and Peter Pettigrew, there was another person standing outside the door behind him...

……

In the Gryffindor common room, Ivan had just left, and Crookshanks also brought a new password to contact Sirius Black.

Now, only Harry and Hermione remained, standing outside the third-year boys' dormitory.

"Ron?" Harry called out worriedly.

There was no response, Harry and Hermione exchanged glances, they both thought Ron was asleep.

But when he turned his head, he found that Ron was lying on the bed, eyes open, watching them quietly.

In the dim bedroom, Ron's appearance was extremely strange, and the atmosphere was frighteningly depressing.

After a long time, Hermione said timidly, "You seem to be sick, Ron?!"

"I'm fine!" Ron replied stiffly, getting up from the bed.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other again, seeing concern in each other's faces.

"No, you look very bad, you should go to Madam Pomfrey, she will help you."

"I don't need any help, I've never been better." Ron came over, as if he was going out.

"We want to talk to you!" Harry held out his hand to stop Ron, and he said loudly, "I have something to tell you about what happened last night."

Harry was full of anger and turned into worry after knowing that Ron was being controlled.

The only thing he wants to do now is to wake up Ron.He still remembered that Aiwen said that the best way to resist the Imperius Curse is a strong will, as long as one's willpower is strong enough, one can resist the invasion of this spell.

People under the Imperius Curse will feel their minds go blank, and then they will feel extremely happy.Then, there will be a voice telling the cursed person to do something.As if being hypnotized, the cursed person enters the subconscious state of consciousness, and he will subconsciously obey the spellcaster's orders.

But it is not absolute. The person under the curse can still feel all the information from the outside world, and will have an impression of everything he does. If these things seriously touch his heart and make him have a sense of resistance, then the person under the curse will Then it will actively resist the Imperius Curse, weakening the power of this spell to the greatest extent.

"Ron, I know!" Harry held Ron's shoulders tightly with both hands, looking into his eyes distressedly, he shouted, "I know, I know everything, what happened last night is not your fault , I shouldn't have punched you in the end, and you too..."

"What happened last night?!" Ron lowered his head, repeated it slowly, and replied in a monotonous voice, "It would be best if you understand, Harry! Last night, I saved you, Huh Min and everyone else, if we let the werewolves run into the castle, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Professor Lupine is innocent, he won't attack anyone." Harry gasped, shaking Ron vigorously, his voice was crying, "Please, Ron! Wake up quickly Well, you shouldn't be like this."

Chapter 150 Heroes

"Then what should I look like?!" Ron looked at Harry indifferently.

Harry was stunned, he didn't know how to answer the other party, tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

"Ron!" Hermione called out softly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Her memory went back to the afternoon when Ron accused Crookshanks of eating Scabbers. It was also in the common room. Ron also looked terrible. He first blamed himself, and then fought with Ivan.Ron was very abnormal at the time, but his expression now made Hermione feel strange like never before.

"I saved you last night, I exposed a ferocious werewolf, I am a hero!" Ron didn't look at Hermione, he stared at Harry closely, his dull and monotonous voice revealed unprecedented determination.

"Hero?!" Harry and Hermione froze for a moment, wondering why Ron would say that.

"That's right, I'm a hero! But you're telling me now that I'm not like this?!" Ron didn't look like he was being controlled by the Imperius Curse at all. He seemed to be treated unfairly, angrily Shouted loudly, "What do you think I look like? Could it be that I was born to be a foil for the famous savior, a humble, cowardly follower, and a dispensable funny existence?!"

"Ron, I'm not..." Harry said sadly.

"That's enough, Harry!" Ron broke free from Harry's hands, "I have nothing to say to you, I know you all look down on me! What am I like, I will prove it to you with practical actions Yes, I'll catch Sirius Black with my own hands, and I'll do what no one else has."

"Catch Sirius Black?!" Hermione took half a step back, looking terrified, with an ominous premonition rising from deep within, she asked in panic, "What do you want to do?"

"Do what a hero should do!"

"Until you're sober, I won't let you go." Harry grabbed Ron's robe again, "Be sober, Ron, think about the past three years we've had..."

Before Harry finished speaking, two thick red lights flashed in the dormitory, hitting Harry and Hermione respectively.Bang!The two fell down and lay motionless on the ground.Seeing Harry and Hermione fainted on the ground, Ron seemed to hesitate a bit, he moved slightly, and then stopped immediately.

"Come, dear child, my merciful master!" A shrill voice suddenly sounded in the room, "It's time to finish what we should do! The two of them just fainted, after we catch Black , they will know your greatness."

……

In Professor Lupine's office, Ivan saw from the Marauder's map that Ron was actually standing behind him.He hurriedly turned around, but it was too late. The moment he turned around, the door of the office was slammed open, and Ron rushed in clumsily, and with a strong inertia, he slammed onto him.

The two fell to the ground, fighting and entangled in everything.

Ivan wanted to use magic, but Ron didn't give him the chance.

He held Ivan's right hand tightly, with terrifying strength, completely ignoring the attacks that fell on him.

He seems to be a sandbag that doesn't feel pain, and Ivan can't get rid of him at all.

The wand shot out several rays of light, smashing the water tank in the corner, and the green water monster lay on the floor, dying.

"Let go, Ron!" Ivan shouted angrily, "Do you know what you are doing!"

He saw Pettigrew Peter not far in front of him transforming, and Peter's body shrank rapidly, turning into a mouse shape.

He was breaking free of his magical shackles, and the tightly bound ropes began to slip aside.

"Oops!" Ivan hurriedly pushed Ron away with his knees, and punched him hard with his free left hand.
