In the Hogwarts Headmaster's office, a short middle-aged man stood blankly in the center of the office, surrounded by a group of people.

Okay Peter, tell me what happened that year? Chief Burns asked her question.

Peter took a deep, shaky breath, and spoke in a flat, emotionless tone.

Because Sirius gave me the identity of the Potters' keepers for the sake of safety, and he claimed that he was the keepers and led the pursuit. After I became the keepers, I found the Dark Lord as soon as possible, and put I told him about the Potters' secret, and I was supposed to get an unprecedented reward for it, but the Dark Lord missed it. Black has since been chasing me after learning that I betrayed the Potters.

Hearing this, Lupin looked a little excited, giving the impression that he was going to rush up and beat Peter. But Mr. Weasley next to him grabbed him. Ryan turned his attention to Professor Snape, and found that although Professor Snape looked calm, his clenched fists and slightly trembling body showed the anger in his heart now.

Peter took another deep breath at this time, and continued speaking in a flat voice.

I couldn't escape when I was chased down a Muggle street, so I had to blow up half the street and then turned into a mouse and escaped down the blasted sewer, and then I was a pet in a wizarding family. to this day.

Hearing this sentence, Mr. Weasley covered his face in annoyance: God, when I found him in the garden, I really thought it was just a mouse, and I swear I'll never do this mess again. I brought something home. Mrs Weasley next to him patted him on the back and comforted him.

Since you have taken refuge with You-Know-Who, why haven't you hurt Harry when you lived in the same house with Harry for the past few years? Director Burns asked an important point that everyone was concerned about. Completely quiet and began to listen.

Because the Dark Lord heard that the situation was very bad after he failed to kill Harry that day, so at this time I hurt Harry and put myself in. So I could only quietly stay in a wizard's family to listen for information, I'll dedicate Harry to the Dark Lord only after I'm sure the Dark Lord is really back. After all, my mistakes made a lot of Death Eaters hold a grudge against me, and I'll have to do enough to keep myself in front of the Dark Lord.

Why did you betray Potter and Lily? They take you as a friend. Lupin finally couldn't hold back and asked. Burns frowned at the interruption of her interrogation and said nothing.

Friends, do you really think I'm a friend? Peter's tone fluctuated at this time, which seemed to stimulate him a lot, Both Potter and Blake come from noble pure-blood families, you studied well in school. The prefect again. I'm the only one who is nothing, I'm like a little follower behind you. You always say that I'm too timid. Even if I try hard to integrate into the small group, you keep ignoring me, no matter what I am. Whatever you say, you will just ignore it.

But—but that's not the reason why you made the Potters pay the price with their lives. Lupin said with some puzzlement.

Why not? After graduating, you didn't ask me, just took me and the Dark Lord's men to fight. The Dark Lord arrived in the first battle, and two Aurors fell with a wave of hands. Fortunately, that time The Dark Lord didn't chase after us until we escaped. After the battle, you all seemed very excited, but I was really scared. I really don't want to feel that near-death feeling again, so I have to find a way to live down.

Then do you choose to be Mysterious Man's lackey? Director Burns asked very seriously at this time.

Then what else can I do, I just want to live, I don't want to die. But Potter and the others have been dragging me to fight on the front line with the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord himself has appeared several times to let the people on our side. With heavy casualties, the well-trained Aurors were vulnerable to the Dark Lord.

So after struggling for two or three years I found the Dark Lord and begged him not to kill me.

What did you do after you took refuge in You-Know-Who? asked Amelia Burns.

I revealed a lot of valuable information in the one year I joined the Dark Lord, and he praised me. Speaking of this, a distorted smile appeared on Peter's face. Finally when I told the Dark Lord where the Potters were hiding, he told me that I would be rewarded like never before.

Just for this, you killed so many people. Lupin roared out of control.

There's no benefit in rejecting the Dark Lord, but as long as I submit to him, I gain unprecedented power. Like that spell that blew up half a street, I just told him a few names and he gave it to me.

Don't you know that the fight against the most evil monster of all time is to save innocent lives, Peter! It's more important than strength and life. Lupin looked calm, his voice hoarse. talking to Peter.

You don't understand! Peter Pettigrew returned to his calm tone. He's going to kill me, Lupin! I'll just live. Not to mention he's empowering me.

Okay, now the facts have been asked. Chief Burns reached out to stop Lupin, who had more to say. I know you were friends before, but now we have important things to do.

After she finished speaking, she took the record from Percy, looked at it, and signed her name at the end.

You're Percy, right? This transcript is well written. Hearing Burns' praise, Percy looked a little excited and smiled and nodded sharply, almost throwing off his glasses.

But Burns just said a polite thing, and then said to Professor Dumbledore; Mr. Headmaster, the situation is very clear now. Peter did all those crimes before, but he framed it to Sirius. . I would like to invite you to come with me to the Ministry of Magic to bear witness to the vindication of this case.

Of course, of course. I'm glad to see that an innocent man will get rid of the notoriety that was placed on him. Dumbledore stood up. I think we can use the fireplace in the office.

After that, Professor Dumbledore and Director Burns took Peter, who was tied up, to the Ministry of Magic. Before he left, he said to Lane and Percy: Thank you for your contributions to this matter, but this matter will not be made public until the Ministry of Magic has discussed it, so please keep it a secret for the time being.

Ryan and Percy both nodded quickly in agreement, and Dumbledore left after a burst of green flames. Everyone also left the office separately.

At the door, Ryan met the Weasley family of three, Arthur Weasley took the initiative to reach out to shake hands with Ryan and thank you: Thank you so much this time, I heard Percy talk about your help this time, Our family owes you a favor.

No thanks, after all, your sons and I are friends. Isn't it right for friends to help each other. Ryan said modestly.
