Chapter 136 Understanding
I thought Sirius was the one who betrayed his parents, but the other party completely denied it.
Peter Pettigrew, who he thought was dead, was still alive according to Sirius' words, and was in this room.
If everything is as Sirius said, then he is the one who was wrongly accused and imprisoned in Azkaban for 12 years, and once Professor Snape captures them, these 'truths' will become even more unconfirmable.
If all this is Sirius' lie, then even if the other party doesn't kill him, he will not let him go.
What are you afraid of killing, I am a minor anyway.
Harry pulled out Hermione's wand, "Expelliarmus!"
Using all his strength, Harry fired Snape into his soul. The effect of 'Expelliarmus' was not only to knock away the opponent's weapon, but also to knock the person away.
Snape was knocked far away to the other side of the room and fell onto a bed, throwing up a large amount of dust.
"The wand is flying!"
After Harry's first and second years of study, he was no longer a rookie who only knew the 'Expelliarmus' spell.
The three wands on the ground jumped up one after another and fell into Harry Potter's hands. Harry took back his own wand and returned Hermione's wand to her. The two of them pointed their wands at the little girl at the same time. Sirius and Lupin.
"Harry! What did you just do? You just attacked a professor!"
Ron was still in shock that Harry had attacked Snape.
"Tell me all about Peter Pettigrew."
Harry held the other two wands, those of Professor Lupine and Professor Snape.
All the wands were on Harry's side at this point, so... he could do whatever he wanted and ask whatever he wanted.
Lupine: "He used to go to school with us, and we considered him a friend."
Harry: "No! Peter Pettigrew is dead. Sirius killed him."
Sirius: "Peter Pettigrew is alive! In this house."
Lupine: "Harry! I just saw you took out the Marauder's Map. Using the Marauder's Map you can see everyone."
Harry: "The Marauder's Map can be wrong."
Sirius: "The Marauder's Map never goes wrong. You'll know it once you use it."
Now that the situation was favorable to his side, Harry immediately took out the Marauder's Map.
"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good!"
The ink penetrated the parchment and outlined the surrounding terrain, and in this room, the name of Peter Pettigrew was clearly visible.
Harry turned his head stiffly and looked at Ron behind him.
"Me? No...Harry, you're crazy!"
On the Marauder's Map, the names of Ron and Peter Pettigrew overlapped and were displayed in turn.
Harry had never felt as betrayed as he did at this moment. His best friend turned out to be the dead Peter Pettigrew, and the fact that Peter Pettigrew was still alive meant that everything Sirius said was the truth.
He was the one who betrayed his parents.
"Me? No...Harry, you're crazy!"
Ron didn't know what Harry saw, but he was definitely wronged.
"It's not you, it's your rat."
Sirius shouted loudly from the side, exposing Peter Pettigrew's disguise. He had wanted to say it from the beginning, but never got to this point. Now that he finally blurted it out, Sirius almost jumped with excitement.
"How is that possible? Banban has been staying at my house..."
Ron held down Scabbers who was trying to run around, while Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
"Twelve years! It's amazing that a mouse can live such a long life. It's missing a toe, right?"
Sirius looked like he wanted to eat someone, and walked towards Ron step by step.
"The Aurors only found one... finger of Peter Pettigrew."
Harry had basically believed Sirius's words at this time. Corresponding to everything he knew, the possibility that Sirius was telling the truth was infinitely greater.
"That mean coward chopped off his fingers so everyone thought he was dead and then he turned into a hiding rat."
Sirius was already standing in front of Ron, and Ron was so scared that he almost cried.
"Animagus!"
Hermione had already thought of the conclusion, and so had Harry, but he didn't know how to break the Animagus curse.
"Prove it to me!"
Immediately, Harry handed them the two wands in his hands.
Professor Lupine took back his wand, Sirius took Snape's wand, turned around and snatched the mouse from Ron's hand.
Sirius squeezed the mouse Scabbers until it squeaked, ignoring Ron's cries at the side.
If you want to use the Animagus to break the curse, you can't catch the opponent, so Sirius had to put the mouse on the furniture in the room. As soon as he did it, the mouse 'Scabbers' began to run away aimlessly.
Harry and Hermione had been holding their wands and carefully guarding behind Lupine and Sirius, but the two men didn't care at all and were concentrating on dealing with the escaping rats.
Finally, when the mouse 'Scabbers' tried to escape from a hole, he was caught on the trail, and the Animagus' curse was successfully broken.
Ron was stunned. He didn't expect that the 'Scabbers' who had grown up with him, ate and slept with him, could actually be the person in front of him.
He is fat and bald, with a short stature, a hideous face, and long rat-like teeth.
Qin Ziyun knew that this was actually the result of maintaining the mouse state for 12 years. The Animagus form in turn affected the wizard's spirit and body.Maybe he used to be just a short student with an ordinary appearance!It's just that for 12 years, he has been locked in the cage of 'Banban', and it is inevitable that his body and mind will be distorted.
After being pulled out of the stuck hole like a pig to death, Peter Pettigrew showed an expression of surprise.
"Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, my old friends."
Peter Pettigrew pretended to want to hug each other, but in fact he was trying to escape between the two people, but was naturally pushed back to the center of the room by the two.
"Harry! Look how much you look like your father. James and I are best friends."
Peter Pettigrew sought a breakthrough from Harry this time, approaching Harry cautiously, telling lies.
"How dare you speak to Harry like this? How dare you mention Harry's father, James."
Sirius' wand almost hit Peter Pettigrew in the face, scaring him so much that he backed into the corner.
"It was you who betrayed James and Lily to Voldemort."
Lu Ping knew that he had to ask questions at this time, otherwise this cunning guy would tell lies after he figured it out.
"I didn't mean to do it. You have no idea what kind of weapons that Lord of Darkness has! If it were you, Sirius! What would you do?"
Peter Pettigrew now questioned Sirius instead.
"I will never betray my friends to death!"
Sirius was furious after hearing this, am I the same as you?
'But you are stupider than this mouse! '
Qin Ziyun, who was on the roof of the screaming shack, couldn't help but sigh.
At least this rat has been a pet for 12 years, living a life without worries about food and housing, but you didn't resist and were willing to be a prisoner in Azkaban for 12 years. Who can blame you for being stupid!
"Harry! James will not let me be killed! Your father will let me go! He will forgive me!"
Without warning, Peter Pettigrew rushed towards the door, but was blocked by Harry. He could only hug Harry and beg for mercy.
However, this sound has a hypnotic effect no matter how you listen to it.
"You should think that if Voldemort doesn't kill you, I will definitely kill you."
Pulling Peter Pettigrew away from Harry, Sirius said and was ready to take action, even if he was sent to Azkaban again for this stinky rat.
Harry knew that if Sirius killed Peter Pettigrew again at this time, he would be imprisoned in Azkaban again.
"Stop! We can't kill him."
Sirius's hands were shaking, and Lupine knew that only his godson could stop Sirius.
"Bless you! Bless you, child!"
Peter Pettigrew walked once before the door of death, and couldn't help but kneel down to thank Harry. He thought that the little bit of hypnosis just now had taken effect, and he was very grateful for his improvised response.
But he will adapt to the situation, and Harry will also adapt to the situation!
"We're going to take him to school and hand him over to the dementors."
Anyone who wants to kill someone will always find a way. Peter Pettigrew was so frightened that he began to bite his own fingers.
The truth of the matter has been understood clearly, and Peter Pettigrew has been captured. This trip can be described as a great victory.
As a result, the group returned in triumph, with Sirius and Harry carrying the injured Ron, followed by Peter Pettigrew, who was escorted by Lupine with a wand, and finally Hermione.
Professor Snape was still in a coma, and the two old men said that there was no extra manpower to transport him, so it was the best option to let him sleep in the Shrieking Shack until he woke up naturally.
Naturally, the children would not object to their obvious intention to abandon Snape.
Hermione tugged on the brooch on her collar. It was pinned on by Qin Ziyun when he was separated from her. Obviously everything that happened today was under the attention of that mysterious man. This brooch was probably of great use. Hermione felt that Being able to do such an important thing for his lover clearly meant that he was very important to Qin Ziyun.
As for Qin Ziyun's request that she be the last to leave, even though she didn't know why, Hermione would still do it.
The reason why Hermione was allowed to go last was just Qin Ziyun's little thought. After all, in the original movie, Ron acted coquettishly to Hermione after leaving the secret passage, although now Hermione has been set by him. , it would be better not to give Ron a chance to make a fool of himself. The future chess master cannot have any conflict with the sponsor on such a matter.
Sirius had been arguing with Ron in the secret passage. After all, the big black dog he turned into bitten Ron's foot. That bite was not something he could hold in his mouth, let alone dragging such a child weighing nearly a hundred pounds. , what if you can’t bite your tongue tightly?
So, like Ron said, it's to the bone in some places.
When Ron was showing off to Hermione, he was worried that his legs would be amputated!
After exiting the secret passage, Sirius put Ron aside and walked towards the Hogwarts castle.
Hogwarts at night is quiet and mysterious, just like when freshmen enter the school, showing mysterious power to all outsiders.
As for Sirius at this time, he was thinking about another question. Does Qin Ziyun know everything about tonight?Or was it all arranged by him?In other words, he has been paying attention!
Ever since Qin Ziyun told him to go to the Whomping Willow and remove the collar...
Sirius touched his neck, his thoughts swirling, he finally became a member of Qin Ziyun's script.
Looking at Sirius's lonely figure, Harry and Ron didn't know how to comfort him.
"Harry! You should go over there, I'm fine here, just sit down."
Ron didn't have Hermione by his side. At this time, his IQ was on the line and he made reasonable suggestions.
Harry walked slowly to Sirius, also looking at Hogwarts, feeling the tranquility and mystery of that night.
"It's beautiful! Isn't it? I will never forget the first time I walked through those doors. If only I could enter again as a free body."
When Sirius said this, he realized that Qin Ziyun had been insisting on helping him get out of crime!
"You just did a very noble thing, but he doesn't deserve your pleading for him."
The atmosphere was good now, and Sirius refrained from swearing when he mentioned Peter Pettigrew.
"I don't think my father would like to see his best friend turn into a murderer. Besides! If he dies, the truth will be buried with him. If he lives, you can be free."
Harry thought a lot while walking in this secret passage. Many times, people do things impulsively, instinctively, and irrationally. However, if you analyze them afterwards, you can find that those actions are in line with your own thoughts, and everything can be found to be reasonable. explanation of.
After standing like this for a while, Harry Potter found three reasons for himself to stop killing Peter Pettigrew, and they were all reasonable and without fault.
"Please turn me into Wormtail and don't let the dementors come to me, Ron! Am I not a good pet? You won't let them hand me over to the dementors, will you? I'm your mouse .”
At the exit of the secret passage, in order to prevent Peter Pettigrew from escaping as soon as he exited, Lupine came out first, followed by Hermione watching with a wand.
As for these words of Peter Pettigrew, Ron only felt disgusted at this time.
Regarding the farce that followed, Sirius and Harry Potter just turned around and glanced, it was okay!Everything is under control.
"Harry! I don't know if you've heard that when you were born, James and Lily asked me to be your godfather."
"I know."
"I can understand your choice to live with your aunt and uncle, but if you want a new home..."
"What? You want me to move in with you?"
"I just have this idea. If you don't want to, I can understand."
