The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 125: as long as you can get there

"Mr. Weasley, can you show me your pet mouse?" Dumbledore's voice became more and more kind, but Ron couldn't help shivering.

"Uh...of course...but—" He stammered some words that didn't make sense.

"I know you have too many questions, Mr. Weasley, and I'll answer them for you, but now please—"

The front of Ron's robe began to tremble. A few minutes ago, Scabbers, or Peter Pettigrew, had heard the conversation between Dumbledore and Ron, but his luck made him choose to continue hiding in Ron's robe.

Maybe Dumbledore really came to talk to little Ron? He thought so.

Only now did he realize that Dumbledore's real target was actually him. Pettigrew fell into despair. He didn't think he could get away with being fooled by Dumbledore, maybe he would be recognized by those two old friends just by meeting him?

"Of course, of course." Ron trusted Dumbledore very much. He reached into the robe and took a lot of effort to fish Scabbers out. Scabbers twisted desperately, and Ron finally pulled it out by grabbing its tail.

After Scabbers was taken out, both Lupine and Sirius subconsciously took a step forward. Their eyes were fixed on Ban Ban, and the two of them seemed to have forgotten to breathe.

"A mouse, a mouse that lived longer," Ron looked at the two of them, a little afraid, he hugged his pet mouse, and huddled in a corner, looking very helpless, "Nothing special, right? "

Lupine and Sirius confirm Scabbers' identity. Dumbledore's eyes also sharpened after glancing at Scabber's incomplete paw.

When Sirius spoke, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and it could be seen that he was trying his best to keep himself standing still.

"This is not a mouse or a rat."

Ron:?

Ron was a little confused. Could it be that Banban is a special kind of hamster or vole?

"He's a wizard, an Animagus named Peter Pettigrew," said Lupine calmly.

"You are crazy...Professor Dumbledore..." He looked at Dumbledore as if asking for help, hoping that he could give him justice.

"No one or anything will be wronged here today, Mr. Weasley, give it to me." Dumbledore put his hand into Ron's arms.

Ron's first instinct was to hug his mouse, but he quickly gave up: let Professor Dumbledore prove it.

At this time, the door of the office was pushed open at once. Percy appeared at the door of the office out of breath, "Professor Dumbledore, please give my brother a chance! I will—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a black shadow hit him head-on, throwing him to the ground. It turned out that Peter Pettigrew took advantage of Percy's distraction to break free from Ron's control, aroused all his potential, and rushed out the door.

If only Lupine, Sirius and others were present, Peter might have succeeded. Unfortunately, this is Dumbledore's office.

Peter ran forward a few steps, and found a noisy voice behind him, but no one was chasing him. A burst of ecstasy filled his heart, as if he could smell the smell of freedom. He doesn't think about anything now, he just wants to escape from Dumbledore's office, and then it will be a situation of "the sea is wide and the sky is high and the birds are flying". He could go to the Forbidden Forest first to avoid the limelight, and then find a chance to sneak out of Hogwarts in a few days.

The life plan after leaving Hogwarts, Peter Pettigrew is almost planning. For more than ten years, he has been lurking in the Weasley's house, just waiting for the best time for his master to resurrect. He felt that now was the best opportunity.

After escaping Hogwarts, he will go to Albania-there is said to be his master's foothold, where Lord Voldemort will wait for a chance to make a comeback. And he, Peter, is the last piece of the puzzle of this opportunity.

After helping Voldemort to complete the resurrection, his status will also undergo earth-shaking changes, and no one can despise him anymore. Peter thought of this, and his mood became extremely comfortable, but he also knew that all of this was just a castle in the air, and if he wanted to realize it, he needed to escape the tower where Dumbledore was.

He ran to the end of the stairs, where there was a door, a door to freedom.

Boom! He slammed his head against the wall with all kinds of meat and vegetables, but the stone wall remained unmoved, as if there was really only one wall here.

The gate that should appear does not appear.

The current Peter completely understood Harry and Ron's feelings at King's Cross Station last year.

He fell into despair: this staircase has no exit, or the exit is a ruthless, cold stone wall.

There were footsteps behind him, and he was lifted up with his tail.

"It's pretty fast!" Sirius picked up Peter's Scabbers with red eyes.

"Calm down!" Lupine rushed over and held Sirius back, telling him not to act too aggressively. Now he was really worried that if Sirius killed Peter, it would be too bad.

After first learning the truth of the matter, Lupine also wanted to tear Peter into pieces. But after calming down, he realized that although it was fun to kill Peter, there would be a consequence: Sirius' grievance would never be cleared. Let the traitor die with glory, and the innocent Sirius needs to live with a crime, is it really worth it?

Lupine was lost in thought.

The result of his thinking is: not worth it. So he needs to stop his good friend to stop him from being so impulsive.

"Peter will get what he deserves." Lupine looked into Sirius' eyes and said earnestly: "You still have a lot of bright future, it's a pity to abandon it for such a person."

Sirius' expression became a little grim, "A bright future? Why didn't I see it, I—"

"At least think about it for Harry, you are his godfather~lightnovelpub.net~ How can the godfather be a criminal!" Lupine stretched out his hands and pressed Sirius on the shoulders.

The name Harry finally made Sirius rational. Feeling the strength from his shoulders, he grinned.

"It's cheaper for Peter, and he can go to Azkaban to live a life with food and accommodation."

Hearing these words, Ban Ban struggled desperately.

"Actually, he won't be in great pain." Lupine was relieved to see Sirius come back to his senses, and said casually.

"Um?"

"Because this guy is supposed to get a dementor's kiss," Lupine said with a smile on his face.

Ban Ban struggled more violently.
