Hogwarts lazy snake

Chapter 243 The truth is about to emerge

After hearing what Lupin said, Ron's face showed an even more confused and suspicious expression: "No, it's impossible! Scabbers has always been my pet, how could it be a traitor? You must be mistaken!"

Then Ron looked at Scabbers in his arms, who seemed to be very scared when he looked at Lupin. He didn't even notice that his voice was trembling. He didn't want to believe that the pet who had been with him day and night was such a hateful person. It was too hard for him to accept.

"PETER PETEILLU?! SIRIUS!?!"

After hearing what Professor Lupin said, Hermione seemed to remember where she had seen this name.

"Pettitt, who was killed by Sirius Black while chasing him and was recognized as a hero by the wizarding world and was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class?"

At this point, Hermione looked at the slovenly man who was yelling excitedly in front of Harry: "Are you the Death Eater Sirius Black? The Sirius who caused Harry's parents to be killed by Voldemort?"

When Harry heard Hermione's words, his mind went blank, and he kept echoing: "Sirius, who caused Harry's parents to be killed by Voldemort"

His eyes turned red, and then he kicked Blake and shouted, "You are the one who killed my father and mother?"

Then he continued to kick him, and Black, who was kicked, just looked at Harry without any explanation and endured it.

Just as Harry was about to continue kicking, Horn hugged him and stopped him: "Harry, calm down! Listen to what's going on first."

Seeing this, Neville hurried over to help hold Harry.

Harry continued to struggle despite Horn and Neville's obstruction. His eyes were red, tears were welling up in his eye sockets, and anger and pain were intertwined on his face.

"Let me through! I'm going to kill him!" Harry shouted, his voice hoarse with excitement.

Sirius looked at Harry, his eyes full of pain and helplessness. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally remained silent.

Ron held Scabbers tightly and looked at the people around him warily.

He was very conflicted. On the one hand, he had deep feelings for Scabbers and could not believe that it was the traitor as everyone said. On the other hand, Professor Lupin's words and the chaotic situation before him made him confused and uneasy.

Seeing that Harry had gradually calmed down, Lupin said, "Harry, Sirius was not the one who killed your parents. The real traitor was Peter Pettigrew, the rat. We must now find out what happened in the end."

Hermione also stepped forward, her eyes revealing a trace of thought: "Ron, I think Professor Lupin is right. We need to find out whether Scabbers is Pettigrew or not."

Carlotta looked forward at Ron and said with a smile: "Hermione is right. If this stinky rat is really Pettigrew, I remember you seemed to hold it to sleep. I remember Pettigrew was a greasy bald uncle. What do you think?"

"What are you doing here? Sirius Bly?! We finally found you, the fugitive!"

At this time, three wizards in Auror costumes came over on flying broomsticks. The leading Auror spotted the bound Black in front of Harry and immediately spoke loudly.

Horn looked at this scene and couldn't help but think that this group of people would only appear after the matter was resolved.

Sirius's eyes revealed a trace of despair, he knew that his current situation had become more difficult. He had just caught Peter and had not had time to learn the truth.

Harry looked at the scene in front of him, feeling very conflicted.

He didn't know who to trust, nor how to face this sudden change. His eyes revealed a trace of confusion and helplessness. He longed to know the truth, but the truth seemed to be getting more and more confusing.

The Aurors did not listen to Sirius' explanation. They approached step by step, ready to arrest Sirius. As for the rest of the people, they ignored them and only had Sirius in their minds.

However, Horn and others stood in front of Sirius. They did not want to see Sirius being taken away, at least before the truth was revealed.

"Get out of the way! You are obstructing the Ministry of Magic from performing its duties!" the Aurors said sternly, but they did not point their wands at the crowd.

"Everyone, I have captured Pettigrew, Peter, and I think we can..." Lupin said at this time.

Before Lupin could finish, one of the Aurors said in surprise, "What? The Pettigrew you are talking about, is it the Pettigrew who was killed by Sirius Black for chasing him, and was recognized as a hero by the wizarding world and was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class?"

Lupin nodded in response to the other person's words: "Yes, that's the person you are thinking of. Now he is in the arms of my student."

Lupin then pointed at the rat in Ron's arms.

After hearing what Lupin said, the Aurors all showed expressions of surprise and doubt. They looked at each other, as if to confirm the authenticity of the news.

"How is this possible? Isn't Pettigrew dead?" another Auror questioned, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of confusion.

Lupin took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. "I couldn't believe it at first, but all signs indicate that this mouse is Pettigrew. He is an unregistered Animagus who has been lurking around Ron in the form of a mouse for many years. We just caught him. I think he faked his death and disappeared for so many years because he was afraid that the Ministry of Magic would discover the truth."

Hermione jumped out at this time and said, "Yes, otherwise, as a holder of the Order of Merlin, why didn't Pettigrew die and hide from being discovered?"

"Well, everyone, I think why don't we go to Hogwarts to find Headmaster Dumbledore and see if this mouse is Pettigrew, the owner of the Order of Merlin, First Class. Wouldn't the truth be revealed then?" Horn also spoke up.

At this moment, a flame appeared on the ground, forming a pillar of fire as high as a person, and then Dumbledore's figure walked out of it.

The appearance of Dumbledore made the atmosphere more solemn and subtle. Behind his iconic half-moon glasses were a pair of deep and wise eyes, as if he could see through everything.

He was wearing that gorgeous robe, with an upright posture and his silver beard fluttering in the wind, giving people a sense of majesty without even being angry.

"Good evening, children, professors, and Aurors." Dumbledore's voice was low and gentle, but with an unquestionable majesty, echoing in the silent night sky: "I think that we meet here, something important must have happened."

When the Aurors saw Dumbledore, they all bowed slightly, with a look of awe on their faces. "Headmaster, we are hunting down Sirius Black, the dangerous fugitive."

The leading Auror said, and although his voice was respectful, his eyes still revealed his vigilance and hostility towards Sirius.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, and his eyes swept around everyone present, finally landing on the mouse in Ron's arms. "I heard that you think this mouse is Peter Pettigrew?"

A hint of barely perceptible surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Horn, who was listening to what Dumbledore said, was 100% sure that Old Den was watching them from the side, otherwise he would not have appeared so quickly and mentioned the name "Pettydwarf" before he and others explained the situation.
