Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

"I'm chasing you because the smell of rat on your body made me realize that you were pretending to be Harry!" Sirius said excitedly, "You became Harry and tried to lure me here, and then you attacked me when I let my guard down. I cast a spell! Either catch me or kill me, or let someone else see me and come to my aid when I try to attack you. Both of these results will allow you to finish me off without being discovered. !”

Peter Pettigrew was almost out of breath and shook his head vigorously.

"You are so cunning! Peter, you originally had a very well-thought-out plan, but by coincidence, the first person who saw this scene was Gray!" Sirius followed closely, "He recognized this 'Harry' at a glance. Fake! So you have to set fire to the Forbidden Forest to attract more people’s attention!”

"You must be crazy..." Peter Pettigrew trembled, "This Maurice has been secretly communicating with you in order to find an opportunity to kill Harry."

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, obviously very doubtful of Peter Pettigrew's words, but then, he glanced across the crowd and glanced meaningfully at Gray.

"No!" Harry couldn't help but say, "There is absolutely no way Professor Morris wants to kill me! He had a thousand chances, but he never did it, and he even protected me!"

"Me? Kill Harry?" Gray did not expect that Peter Pettigrew would involve himself in the topic and change the direction. "I have been his professor for almost two years, why do I have to wait until today?"

"Yes, maybe you are waiting for an opportunity... to find an alliance, and now that Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban, you have a powerful partner... and a common goal..." Peter Pettigrew He said sharply, "How else could you find the location of the two of us in the Forbidden Forest so directly? Because... you have agreed to let Sirius turn into a big black dog and drive Harry to a certain place in the Forbidden Forest. Kill him again! Don't you understand that you pointed your wand at me the first time you saw Harry? You all saw it! Remus!"

Peter Pettigrew kept grasping at Lupine's life-saving straw, which made Lupine feel even more stressed. He looked at them warily, as if he was trying to recall the details of the time in the Forbidden Forest.Sirius looked at Gray, he didn't know if he should tell everything truthfully.

Gray vowed to send him to Azkaban on the spot. Such a cunning person really made him very unhappy.

"I saw Hagrid's hut open and wanted to check out the situation. Unexpectedly, Yaya - his dog ran out in a panic. My intuition told me that something happened in the Forbidden Forest. Then I looked for it. I ran over to the sound of dogs barking in the distance and saw you confronting a dog." Gray said solemnly, "Just in the morning, I heard that Neville Longbottom lost his wand. As a professor, I have no responsibility for the students. I had some impression of the wand's appearance, and I noticed something fishy... With the wind sound so tense, I had to be more vigilant, and the facts proved that my judgment was right!"

"Neville did lose his wand. He spent the whole day looking for it yesterday..." Harry said suddenly, "You stole Neville's wand and even pretended to be me!"

"I'm protecting you!" Peter Pettigrew trembled, "Harry... don't believe him... I'm protecting you..."

"I want to ask you, Peter Pettigrew, I want to ask you!" Gray asked him, "Why don't you dare to show up? If your reason is guarding Harry, then in the years before you met Harry Why did you fake your death? Why did you disguise yourself as a mouse and hide in the wizard's family?"

"Because I'm afraid! If Voldemort's men are looking for me... it's because I sent their best man to Azkaban - the spy, Sirius Black!" Peter Pettigrew screamed .

Sirius's face twisted.

"Me, Voldemort's spy? When have I ever curry favor with someone stronger and more powerful than me? And you - I don't understand why I didn't see that you were a spy from the beginning!" Sirius gritted his teeth and said, "Lily James and I asked you to be the secret keeper after listening to my suggestion. I thought it was a good plan...a bag-dropping scheme...Voldemort would definitely come to me, but I didn't expect that they would use a weak and incompetent person like you. ...You tell Voldemort that you can dedicate the Potters to him, that must be the proudest moment in your despicable life!"

"No...ridiculous...you're crazy..." muttered Peter Pettigrew.

"The moment before you transformed," Sirius said, "after I blocked you, you shouted loudly... for the whole street to hear that I betrayed Lily and James. Then, before I could say the spell , you just blew up the street with the wand hidden behind your back, killing everyone within twenty feet - and then got into the gutter with the other rats... I still remember it vividly... I will never I will forget your cunning tricks and your betrayal, and I swear I will make you pay the price!"

Peter Pettigrew cried bitterly, like a big bald baby, sitting cowering on the ground. He looked very sad, as if he had been holding back the pressure for a long time before being released. Gray couldn't tell whether he was crying because of fear or fear. regret.

His reaction convinced everyone of the whole story. Everyone was surprised and no one spoke.Professor McGonagall couldn't help but shed tears. She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and touched Harry's head distressedly. Poor little Harry was suffering from too much pain.Lupine's eyes were a little moist. He looked at Sirius. He had lost all his friends that day, and now he was no longer alone. The Padfoot was back.

"Let me interject, Black, how did you escape from Azkaban?" Snape, who had been silent in the corner, suddenly said.

"I don't know how I did it," Sirius said slowly, "I think the only reason I didn't lose my mind was that I knew I was innocent. That was not a pleasant thought, so the Dementors couldn't Suck it out of my mind...but it keeps me sane and aware of who I am, and preserves my mana...so I can shapeshift in my cell...into a dog, Dementor See not see……"

"But later, when I saw Peter in the photo in the newspaper that Fudge gave me...I realized that he was at Hogwarts, next to Harry...if any news reached his ears that the dark forces were reviving Look up, that's the perfect place for him to start..." Pettigrew shook his head and moved his mouth silently, but kept staring at Sirius as if he was hypnotized, "I understand what must be done, because it's just me. Knowing that Peter was alive... it was like someone lit a fire in my head. It gave me strength and clarity. So one night when they opened the door and brought food in, I turned into a dog and ran away. In the past... they were not very sensitive to the emotions of animals, so they were confused... I was very thin... so thin that I could slip through the iron fence... I swam back to the mainland with a dog's body... …”

"Absurd." Snape dismissed Sirius curtly.

"Don't bring all your old grudges and grudges here, Severus. One thing is the same, and if you persist, then you will be the one making the joke this time..." Sirius said.

"Everyone is aware of the situation," Dumbledore interrupted the two people who were about to argue, "but now is not the time to draw conclusions without authorization. This matter still needs to go to the Ministry of Magic for a final trial, so I have to make you suffer for a while first, Blake."

Sirius nodded. If he could reveal Peter Pettigrew's true face, it wouldn't matter no matter how much suffering he suffered. After all, he had already experienced so much. What could be more painful than that night 12 years ago?

"Minerva, please go and inform Filch that these recent access restrictions in Hogwarts can be abolished. Severus and Remus, please go check the Forbidden Forest and nearby places, okay? ?" Dumbledore said, "I think there should be tools for making Polyjuice Potion hidden by Peter Pettigrew around. By the way, Harry, you haven't had breakfast yet?"

Snape stared at Sirius intently. The two of them were fighting to the death, but Dumbledore assigned him a task that forced him to temporarily end the secret fight. He nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something. , turned sharply to Peter Pettigrew.

"Did you steal my medicine?" Snape asked him.

Peter Pettigrew was crying on the side. He seemed not to care about anything and gave up any chance to quibble. Faced with Snape's question, he nodded silently.

Snape's face was ashen. He looked at Peter Pettigrew, then at Harry and Ron, then turned and strode out of the principal's office. Lupine followed closely and left with Harry and the three of them.

"Well done, Gray," Dumbledore said with a smile. "You once again successfully prevented things from going to a worse direction. If you hadn't arrived in time, Black would probably never be able to turn around again. I appreciate it more and more. You know, you have always been very accurate in judging people."

"Thank you for the compliment, but what does it mean to read people accurately?" Gray felt that there was something in Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore said: "If I am right, you two should have met a long time ago, right?"

Sirius opened his mouth but said nothing.

"Maybe I'm old and my mind isn't very clear. Maybe I need a little Lemon Olaf to wake me up." Dumbledore shook his head and said with a smile, "When Black called you 'Grey' just now, I always had a feeling. I had the illusion that you are old classmates who have known each other for a long time, but obviously, I am old and confused, and you two are obviously not students who studied at the same time."

Gray breathed a sigh of relief. Dumbledore had obviously discovered what was going on between them, but was pretending not to know.

"I heard about what happened last night, Gray. You have been running around all night, and what you experienced this morning. If it were me, I should need a cup of hot chocolate and a good sleep now." Dumbledore picked up the A delicate quill, "I think I have to notify Fudge now. He will never expect..."

Gray nodded, he had to go take a rest, and Sirius gave him a grateful look before he walked out of the principal's office.

When he returned to the office, he looked in the mirror and realized that he looked very embarrassed, with bloodshot eyes, stubbled cheeks, messy hair, wrinkled tie, dirty robe... He washed it He turned his face and looked at himself in the mirror. Even though he was in such a mess, he was very satisfied with this harvest. Peter Pettigrew had finally been caught, and Sirius' turnaround was just around the corner.He has done it, and he is working hard to pull everyone's destiny in a good direction...
