The Dark Lord at Hogwarts is not too cold

294. Mouse Scabbers!uncovered truth

(two in one)

(In the last chapter, I combined the two chapters, and I was too lazy to separate them)

After Principal Dumbledore explained the matter to Professor McGonagall, he went to Diagon Alley from the stove in McGonagall's office.

Through the hand letter and signature of Cyrus, he successfully mentioned the cage containing the mouse Scabbers from the Fantastic Beasts store, and its appearance was covered with a layer of black cloth by the clerk witch.

Cyrus is a dupe.

He told the shop witch that the mouse Scabbers sent by the Weasley twins was placed here for a few days by himself; he told the Weasley twins that the two sent them there because there was an event in the store.

No one knows what the truth is, and they all think they have earned their blood.

When Ban Ban (Peter Pettigrew) ate in the store for a few days, he relaxed, and when he woke up, he found that his cage seemed to be moving.

He thought that he could continue to hide in someone's house for another ten years.

When Dumbledore mentioned the cage containing Scabbers, there was a moment of unreality... He just felt that it was all going too well, and when he was still thinking about how to get Ron to hand over Scabbers, Cyrus had a better way.

No one was unhappy during the whole process, and even Ron was immersed in the thought of the new pet.

Ron is somewhat inferior. He wanted to change pets very early. The wand in the first grade belonged to his brother, the pets belonged to his brother, and even the books. He seemed to be living in the shadows.

But it's different now. Ron doesn't want to rely on George and Fred, and he doesn't want Harry to give it away. His current pet money is actually won by himself in the game!

He bought it himself!And Banban's effect is just to make him spend less money!

Cyrus's 'capture' of Scabbers seemed to be a casual touch, just adding a small episode in the game, and Ron willingly handed over the mouse.

Now Ron feels great!

He didn't feel a little bit of himself until the last thing that belonged to his brother was sent away. When he stood on the stage, he felt the flame that belonged to Gryffindor in his heart...

'He took care of everyone's feelings...' thought Dumbledore, walking out of the shop under the surprised and respectful eyes of the witch.

The afternoon sun made Dumbledore suddenly want to try Florin Fusco's ice cream, but he gave up the idea because the floo powder would stain the ice cream with ashes.

"Hogwarts...the headmaster's office!" Dumbledore returned to the office after borrowing Old Tom's fireplace from the Leaky Cauldron.

"Have you got it?" Professor McGonagall hurried forward when she saw the headmaster came back, and her eyes looked at the square pet cage covered by a curtain in Dumbledore's hand.

She lowered her voice, a little unbelievable inside.

If it wasn't for Dumbledore to say 'We have captured Sirius, but Peter is not dead, he is now a pet of the Weasley family', she would have thought that the other party had lost his mind and gone crazy.

When she saw Lupine and Black standing in the headmaster's office that night, she almost didn't make a move.

Who would have thought that Sirius had deceived everyone in the past and harmed himself because of it, and who would have thought that Peter Pettigrew, who was already dead, has been following the Weasleys now?

Although she had been prepared for 'Granger', it was somewhat unbelievable when she experienced it herself.

Dumbledore raised his hand, shook it slightly, and blinked triumphantly.

After he put the things on the table, he stepped aside and took a small bowl from the side.

"What's next? Ask directly or...let Severus come? I'm sure he'd be happy to do that" McGonagall asked him in a low voice, holding her wand upright on her chest gracefully.

"No hurry...Little Cyrus and the others made Veritaserum" Dumbledore gave her a strange look.

Let Snape interrogate?Imperius Curse or Cruciatus Curse?He didn't want the solemn principal's office to be stained with green...

After Dumbledore recalled everyone and cast the Disillusionment Charm, he lifted a corner of the curtain, and Hermione poured Veritaserum mixed with water into the bowl and placed it on the lifted place.

Blake clenched his fists, trying to suppress his emotions.

Even Professor Snape, who was standing opposite, calmed down, staring at the exposed gap, watching a group of black shadows moving curiously inside.

Nobody made a sound...

Dumbledore's blue eyes were exuding a chill at this moment. He glanced at Black, who was restless beside him, before looking at the mouse in the cage.

And Lupine took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket, as if to confirm something.

Cyrus stood on tiptoe, his curious little head approached from Professor Lupin's arms, he could see footsteps and names crowded in the headmaster's office, and there were only two opposite to everyone:

Severus Snape and Peter Pettigrew.

Maybe it was curious about the new environment, or maybe it was thirsty, a sharp mouth poked out from the gap in the raised corner of the iron cage, Banban sniffed the water in the bowl, and drank it with peace of mind after confirming that there was no peculiar smell .

Then, after he retracted, the movement became smaller and smaller, gradually turning into calm...

"It's almost working...if Miss Granger's method of making the potion is accurate." Snape was the first to reveal his original shape. He took the time, stepped over in two steps, and lifted the cover.

An ugly, nearly half-shedded mouse lay there limp.

It's no wonder that the witch in the pet store had to cover it with something. It was really invisible. Cyrus and Hermione didn't know how Ron carried it every day...

"Let him show it!" Lupine said with a rare chill.

Black laughed as he snatched the cage quickly and leaned in front of him to observe, while Scabbers' little black eyes were just bulging on his head... with half-lidded lids.

"Professor Dumbledore?" he asked.

"Please... I believe the Animagus wizard will not need help..." Dumbledore put his hands together and said gently and calmly.

Banban still didn't know what he had been through, and just lay there in a daze. Black couldn't wait to lift him out, and the two magic wands emitted blue light, hitting Banban the mouse.

He was motionless as if stopped by time, and then there was another blinding flash...

First the body, and then the head. A moment later, a man lay on the ground in a trance, his movements were still wringing his limbs like a mouse, cowering.

The hair on his head was thin, dull, and tousled; the flesh of his face was clumped together, his eyes were bleary-eyed from the veritaserum, and his breathing was short of breath.

Hermione took a few steps back and bumped into Cyrus' chest. The thought of Ron Weasley touching the head of such a man every day made her feel a little sick.

"Is he just... Peter Pettigrew?"

"Time flies..." Dumbledore answered her without end, and subconsciously scratched the top of his head.

Black and Lupine stood in his blind spot, so the first person Peter saw was Dumbledore... followed by Cyrus and Hermione, and finally Professor McGonagall.

Lupine grabbed Black's wrist and shook his head at him.

"Peter...long time no see" Dumbledore supported Peter, and handed him the remaining bowl of water mixed with Veritaserum, "I have something to ask you"

"Dumbledore...Principal?" Peter put his hands together and drank the rest of the water tremblingly, which made him feel better.

"We were just discussing... who exactly is James Potter's Secret Keeper"

"I...not...not me..." Pettigrew stammered, looking into Dumbledore's eyes with some fear, he always felt something was wrong, but he didn't want to go against Dumbledore's words in his heart.

There seemed to be a voice telling him: 'Speak...speak up and answer Dumbledore's question'

"Who is it?" the headmaster asked him kindly.

Snape was also staring at Pettigrew, and wandering between him and Black. He seemed to hope that Black was the secret keeper 12 years ago, and there was some expectation in his eyes.

"It's not me...no, it's me...the secret keeper is me..." Peter's tone was a little uncertain.

Dumbledore quickly glanced at Black, who was stopped by Lupine, and immediately continued to ask: "Then why did you hide as a mouse for so long? Who are you afraid of?"

"Principal...they're going to kill me...everyone is going to kill me!" He subconsciously grabbed Dumbledore's arm.

"Who? Is it Voldemort? Or his Death Eaters?" The headmaster asked him peacefully. His voice seemed to have some kind of magic power, which made Peter fall into it, like the bait on the head of a lantern fish in the deep sea.

"They're all...Death Eaters!" He trembled in confusion, as if frightened by the name of the Dark Lord, which made Black behind him sneer.

"And what about Sirius?"

"He...he? I...I don't know" Pettigrew's face twisted, as if he was enduring some pain.

"Enough!" Blake yelled, his appearance made Snape laugh, "I've heard a lot about you in Azkaban...the Death Eaters hate you so much! Said you killed the 'Master'!"

"No!!" Peter yelled strangely, his voice was unusually sharp, "I don't know what happened! I just told the location!!"

"Finally...Peter Pettigrew...you finally admit it?!"

Sweat broke out on Peter's forehead in an instant, he shook his head fiercely, and bit his tongue, his cloudy eyes gradually became clear, like a mouse, the mung bean-like eyeballs revealed fear.

He saw the stern and unkind Principal Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall holding his wand tightly, and finally his eyes rested on the Veritaserum potion bottle that Hermione was playing with.

He turned his head suddenly, as if he saw a ghost.

"Ah! Boo... Black!!"

His legs were weak, and when he looked at Dumbledore again, he found that the headmaster's kind eyes had narrowed, and Peter already knew what happened.

Headmaster Dumbledore took a step back, allowing Peter to catch him.

"Severus? Right? He's Sirius! Catch him!" He didn't see the snake-like look in Snape's eyes, and of course...he didn't dare to look.

"If possible, I'd like to throw you into the arms of a dementor..." Snape slowly took out his wand from his sleeve, and said slowly, "No... Azkaban is not good. ..kill him anyway"

"Blake...is the murderer!" He pleaded, lying on the ground trying to hug someone's leg.

"Peterina, don't you even have the courage to admit it?" Dumbledore said disappointedly, "Even if you don't have the courage to fight Voldemort..."

"No...it's not like that" Peter saw Cyrus, he stretched out his hand towards him in surprise, and everyone saw that he was missing the index finger, "It's you! I know you...Ron has There has been a big change, it must be related to you, right?"

But unfortunately, 'God' did not respond to 'Adam'.

"Wormtail~ No one here will help you..." Blake pounced on him like a vicious dog, tightly clutching his collar with his powerful hands.

"Tell me...why! Give me a reason not to kill you!"

Black growled, cursing Pettigrew in an extremely sharp voice, he wanted to strangle him to death... no... this couldn't wash away his hatred, Sirius' eyes were a little moist.

"Please...don't kill me...I really don't know what happened..."

"So, tell me...you still have a chance to beg us not to kill you, but what about James? Where's Lily?" Black's vicious eyes made Peter unable to look straight, "Peter...my debt is still being paid, You can't escape either"

He tried to turn his head away, but Black held Peter's head firmly, forcing him to face himself.

"Please? It's all you!" Peter screamed suddenly, "If you hadn't asked Potter to exchange it for me, they wouldn't have died! You knew they were looking for a secret keeper!"

Yes, it's all Blake's fault!He just wanted to change the secret keeper... He was afraid of death!Couldn't Peter be afraid of death?

"You...you think I'm afraid of death?" Blake let go of his hand dully, which made Peter fall to the ground in pain.

"Is not it?!!"

"I was saving you! Idiot! I was saving you and James!"

He was scratching his hair like crazy, and his eyes were red, while Pettigrew hugged his head, curled up on the ground and shivered.
