Immortals at Marvel's Hogwarts

Chapter 288 The Truth Comes Out

Luke reached out and pointed, and the cage with Banban disappeared, leaving only an old and fat mouse.

"You wouldn't say it was Pettigrew, would you?" Fudge smiled awkwardly, he was a little worried that this would be a farce.

"Minister Fudge, you seem to have overlooked a kind of magic."

"You mean Animagus?" Snape said it before Professor McGonagall.

As soon as Snape spoke, he, Professor McGonagall, and Lupine took out their wands and looked at the mouse warily.In particular, Lupine knew about Pettigrew's Animagus, but he always thought that Pettigrew was dead, so he had no doubts.

Ron and the Weasleys looked even more shocked. Scabbers had been in their house for a very long time.

"Yes, Sirius escaped from prison not to harm Harry, but to protect him. Because he saw a photo of the Weasley family in Egypt in the newspaper and recognized the mouse in the photo as Peter Pettigrew. And Ron was in the same grade, same college, and dormitory as Harry. This made Black very worried that Pettigrew would hurt Harry, so he escaped from prison."

Fudge showed a nervous look when he heard Luke's words. He gave Sirius the newspaper he read, and he didn't know how Luke knew.

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Kirk, do you know how Sirius escaped from prison?" Bones wanted to see if there were any loopholes in Azkaban.

"Dementors rely on sensing people's emotions to get closer to people. If he turns into something else, the dementors may not work. As for whether there are other methods, I don't know."

"Minister, I think it is necessary to check Azkaban." Bones understood what Luke meant, and there was a suspected illegal Animagus in front of him.

"We'll talk about the inspection later. Let's solve Sirius' problem first," Fudge said.

At this time, many people still have doubts in their minds. If what Luke said is true, then the Ministry of Magic regarded sinners as heroes and sent innocent people to Azkaban.

"It was Peter Pettigrew who betrayed Harry's parents back then. He is the Secret Keeper. Pettigrew, if you tell the truth, you may still be alive to face trial. Otherwise, today may be your last day."

A piece of magic flew out from Luke's fingertips and hit the mouse on the ground. This magic was not very powerful, but it also let Pettigrew know that he had no way out. He had heard too many things about Luke.

"There are so many people here. If you don't show yourself, don't blame us for taking action." He looked at Snape's expression, which showed signs of being furious. For one of the murderers who killed Lily, Snape has not yet The action has been very restrained.

I saw that the fat mouse on the ground began to gradually grow in size, its head and limbs changed. In a moment, the original Banban turned into a large humanoid mouse, shrinking and wringing its hands.

He did not revert to a human form, but resembled an enlarged rat, with more human features.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

"Are you...Peter?" Lupine asked uncertainly.

"Le... Remus..." Peter Pettigrew's voice was shrill, and his eyes glanced around again, "My friend... my old friend..."

"Peter, how did you become like this?" Lupine looked at Pettigrew who had not turned into a human.

"Me?" Pettigrew then noticed that his hands were not human arms, but mouse limbs.

"I...I, what happened, why did it become like this." Pettigrew looked at the changes in his body in horror.

"Maybe you've been a mouse for too long and can't change back. That's not the point. Now you need to explain what happened 12 years ago. If you don't want to tell the truth, I believe Professor Snape will give you a try." Try his Veritaserum.”

Snape quickly figured out that since Luke had known that Peter Pettigrew was a mouse, the current situation was probably his fault.

"What can I do? The Dark Lord... you don't know... he has weapons you can't imagine... I'm afraid. I've never been as brave as you, Remus, and James. I never wanted to be like this. ...It was He Who Must Not Be Named who forced me to..." Pettigrew didn't bother to check his own situation and became a little hysterical.

"You don't have to pretend to be pitiful. If you hadn't surrendered to Voldemort a long time ago, with his character, would he believe that you betrayed Harry's parents? I guess all that's waiting for you is a killing curse." Luke interrupted Pettigrew. explain.

"He... he's gaining power everywhere!" cried Pettigrew. "What's... what's the use of disobeying him?"

"So you admitted that you took refuge in him and betrayed and killed Harry's parents, right?" Luke pressed.

"Why did you betray my parents!" Harry shouted. He wanted to go up to question Pettigrew, but was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"You don't know!" cried Pettigrew, "he will kill me!"

"Now that the truth has been revealed, we should let this man who has been dead for 12 years really die. He can't be imprisoned in Azkaban even if he knows Animagus." Snape walked up and raised his wand.

"No... don't..." Pettigrew shouted in horror, turning around and crawling towards Ron.

"Ron...I'm not your good friend...good pet? You won't let them kill me, Ron, will you...you'll be on my side, won't you?"

Ron, who had been released from the immobilization, hid behind his parents, looking scared.

Pettigrew knelt there, shaking uncontrollably, and slowly turned his head towards Harry.

"Harry... Harry... you look exactly like your father... exactly the same... James wouldn't want me killed... James would understand, Harry... he would go easy on me... …”

Snape and Lupine, probably worried that Pettigrew would burst out and hurt Harry, stepped forward and grabbed Pettigrew's shoulders and knocked him to the ground.Pettigrew lay there, twitching in fear.

"Professor Dumbledore, Minister Fudge, I think it's clear that Pettigrew was Harry's parents' secret keeper, but he betrayed them and gave the information to Voldemort."

"Mr. Kirk...is a mysterious man..." Fudge seemed to be a little afraid of Voldemort.

"Sirius was not present, but that does not prevent the murderer from confessing. What do you think, Ms. Bones?" Luke looked at Bones next to Fudge.

"Although Peter Pettigrew has confessed, we still need Sirius to come out and confront him. Of course, we will also restore his innocence." Bones said.

"In that case, the Dementors outside should be removed." The matter of Sirius and Pettigrew is not important. For Luke, the Dementors outside are the key.

"We came unexpectedly today. We have to go back to the Ministry of Magic to make arrangements. We will send someone to take them back tomorrow." Fudge thought for a moment and agreed.

Although Fudge didn't want to admit this fact, luckily Luke was half one of his own, and this matter was resolved within the Ministry of Magic.Besides, it was not his responsibility to arrest the wrong person. He had not yet taken office at that time.
