Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Chapter 105 Peter’s Sophistry

That morning, the students were informed that this morning's crystal science class, potions class and defense against the dark arts class were cancelled. Everyone was talking about it. Professor McGonagall could only say that three professors had left for something and were temporarily unable to attend class, but only Harry The three of them knew that all this was because of what happened during the fire in the Forbidden Forest that morning - the fugitive murderer Sirius appeared, and Peter, who had been dead for more than ten years, also magically appeared there.

The three of them, Harry, had been hiding not far away and watching the story unfold, but they could not hear the conversation between the four people. They were watching the "Harry" who was exactly like himself shooting magic spells at Professor Morris. Before the battle was about to break out, when he couldn't help but rush forward, Dumbledore appeared.

"You need to know who caused you to experience the ordeal that night 12 years ago and why." Dumbledore left Harry a word and walked towards the sea of ​​​​fire.

And in the end, when "Harry" became a short, bald, fat man, and the big black dog turned into Sirius Black, the three of them couldn't believe their eyes. From the beginning, everyone always thought he was The murderer Sirius Black was disguised as Harry.

"If we hadn't been held down by Professor Dumbledore just now, but rushed up... I think that would have been the closest I've ever been to death. I've never seen Snape so vicious... although he always looked... You really want to kill us, don't you? The key is that there is Sirius Black there." Ron patted his chest anxiously.

……

Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black were both escorted to Dumbledore's office.The former was trembling throughout the whole process, pleading and quibbling all the time, while Sirius's messy hair was scattered on both sides, and his eyes were much brighter than before. It was obvious that if he explained clearly in front of Dumbledore, victory would be right in front of him.The three Harrys came in last. The three of them stood there as if they were waiting for a verdict to be announced.

"It's been so long." Dumbledore pulled out the chair in front of the table and sat down, staring at the two tied people sitting on the floor.

"Dumbledore," Pettigrew said hurriedly, beads of sweat appearing on his pale face, "you don't believe him, do you...? He wants to kill me..."

"You've been pretending forever, haven't you?" Sirius said angrily, "I do want to kill you...I have wanted to tear you into pieces every day for these 12 years! Because it was you who betrayed us and killed James and Lily!"

Gray heard Hermione gasp in surprise.Snape looked at Peter Pettigrew coldly, as if looking at a piece of lifeless scrap metal. Perhaps the Peter Pettigrew who betrayed Lily had died countless times in his eyes.

"He's here to kill me again!" Peter suddenly screamed and looked at Sirius, "Look, he looks so ferocious! I've been avoiding him, for fear that he would come..."

"You haven't been hiding from me these 12 years!" Sirius said, "You have been hiding from Voldemort's old subordinates! I heard some things in Azkaban. Peter... those people thought you were dead, otherwise I will ask you to confess... I heard them shouting all kinds of things in their dreams, as if they thought the liar had betrayed them. Voldemort went to the Potter's house based on your information... Voldemort was defeated there. Voldemort Not all of his men have entered Azkaban, have they? There are quite a few of them out there, waiting for their chance, pretending to have reformed... If they find out you're still alive, Peter—"

"You are completely... crazy, Sirius! You are crazy, how could you do something like that? And now you say I did it?" Peter Pettigrew said quickly, "You killed Lily and James , come to kill me again... You have to save me, Dumbledore... Remus..."

"I have to find out what's going on." Lupine said, "Peter, I can't understand why an innocent man would be willing to be a mouse for 12 years?"

"Remus! Remus..." Peter Pettigrew seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, "Innocent is innocent, but scared! I had to... had to turn into a mouse in order to survive, but it happened. By chance, here, I actually have the opportunity to get close to Harry because I am the Weasley family's pet. If I wanted to kill Harry, I would have done it long ago! I haven't touched a hair on Harry's head! Why should I? What to do?"

"Wait? The Weasley mouse..." Ron's eyes suddenly widened.

"Is it Scabbers?" Harry felt incredulous.

"Harry, you finally know the true identity of this stinky rat. Come on, Peter, let me tell you why," Black said, "because you never let go of the rabbit before you see it. Voldemort has been missing for 12 years, and people say he has disappeared." Half dead. You wouldn't kill someone in front of Albus Dumbledore for a crippled, out-of-power wizard, would you? You have to make sure that he is still the biggest overlord before you go back to follow him, right? Otherwise? Why would you find a wizarding family to take you in? Because you can listen to the news with your ears open, right, Peter? If your old patron makes a comeback and the situation is safe, you can go back to him..."

Gray rubbed his brows. The sleeping spell cast by Lupine just now was too strong and he could not fully recover yet. He wanted to wait and see what happened. First, he trusted the wise and keen Dumbledore. Secondly, Sirius... Black's questioning of Peter Pettigrew was enough to make Peter Pettigrew confess.

However, what Gray didn't expect was that the turning point would start from here...

"Sirius!" Peter Pettigrew interrupted, "I'm protecting Harry! I didn't expect to get close to Harry, so I spent these years as a mouse from his good friend's house, guarding him and paying attention to the surroundings. The danger...and you escaped from Azkaban, everyone said that you traveled thousands of miles just to kill Harry!"

"You fart!" Sirius roared. If there was no rope tied to him, he would really pounce on Peter Pettigrew and strangle him to death in the next second.

"I heard that you frequently appeared near Hogwarts. In order to lure you out and bring you to justice, I used Polyjuice Potion to turn into Harry!" Peter Pettigrew's breathing became more rapid, and he was now full. His face was sweating, "And when you saw me... I had turned into Harry and was being chased by him turning into a big black Animagus dog. This scene is obvious. Sirius tried to attack Harry! Ironclad evidence Like a mountain!”
