Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

Watching Peter Pettigrew's Oscar-worthy performance, Sebastian shook his head almost imperceptibly.

His acting is really good; if it were an ordinary person, they might actually be fooled.

However, this guy forgot that this is the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, not the Wizengamot courtroom of the Ministry of Magic.

Some methods not recognized by the Ministry of Magic can be used here without any restrictions.

Before coming to the Forbidden Forest, Sebastian specifically called Snape and had him bring two large bottles of Veritaserum.

Large quantity and guaranteed satisfaction, enough for each person to drink a bottle and still burp.

Sebastian felt that the reason Harry was so caught up in the truth of Peter's words, and didn't think of Veritaserum, was entirely because the young man's moral standards needed lowering.

Hearing Lily's name mentioned again, Snape shouted with a distorted expression, "Shut up! Neither of you is worthy to mention Lily."

As he spoke, he threw a bottle of Veritaserum in front of Sirius and Peter respectively: "I don't have the time to distinguish the truth from your lies."

"One bottle of Veritaserum per person. After you drink it, I will naturally be able to ask the real answer."

"Remove the chains from me," Sirius shouted, "I'll drink first. I want to make sure that Peter, that bastard, dies knowing exactly why!"

"You..." Peter Pettigrew's face was pale. The scene before him completely exceeded his expectations.

He said tremblingly, "Veritaserum is illegal. The Ministry of Magic does not recognize answers obtained by this method."

Seeing the different reactions of the two, Lupin and the three of Harry understood that they had almost been deceived by Peter Pettigrew's acting.

He was the real betrayer!

Snape's face was pale, and the hand holding his wand trembled slightly from excessive force.

He raised his wand, just preparing to give Peter a hard time, when his sleeve was pulled.

Snape turned his head and found that it was Harry who had stopped him.

"Professor, it's not worth it," Harry said resentfully, "Just hand him over to the Dementors."

Lupin looked at Peter Pettigrew and sighed heavily: "Peter, I really want to know, how did you become like this today?"

Peter, who had already given up on treatment, slumped on the ground. After hearing Lupin's question, he began to laugh wildly.

"Hahahaha——"

"I also want to know why I became like this."

He suddenly raised his head, looking at Lupin with bloodshot eyes: "I was once a brave person, after all, the Sorting Hat personally sorted me into Gryffindor."

"Why did I become so timid?" He raised his hand and pointed at Sirius, "Isn't it because of Sirius and James, those two villains."

"You're talking nonsense!" Harry interrupted Peter's words sharply, "Hagrid said my father was a hero. You're not allowed to insult him."

"Insult?" The corner of Peter's mouth twitched into a mocking smile. "You actually think I'm insulting him? Hahahaha, that's really funny."

"He and Sirius were the two most famous bullies at Hogwarts. They took pleasure in bullying people, often attacking others with spells in the school for no reason."

"If you don't believe me, look at so many people present. Is there anyone who refutes what I said?"

Harry looked up at Sebastian and Snape, trying to hear rebuttals from their mouths, but unfortunately, he was disappointed.

Sebastian just stood there quietly, without saying a word.

Snape's face was even more gloomy, as if he was recalling something bad.

Even Lupin sighed, only Sirius looked at Harry: "Harry, we did some stupid things when we were young, but we got better as we grew up."

"Stupid things!" Peter Pettigrew immediately sneered, "Only someone like you would treat school bullying as stupid things."

"Harry, let me ask you," Peter turned his head to Harry, "What should I do to avoid being bullied when I live in a dormitory with two school bullies?"

"Is it only by tucking my tail between my legs and following their wishes in everything that I can study peacefully at Hogwarts?"

Harry was speechless by the question. He thought of the days when he was bullied by his cousin Dudley and his bully friends when he was a child.

Harry thought again that since knowing Aunt Mia and Professor Swan, they had never told him anything about his father, and would always vaguely change the subject.

So that's the truth.

His consciousness was a little dazed, and he couldn't accept the fact that his father was a school bully.

Lupin couldn't stand it any longer and spoke to stop him: "Peter, don't say that. In any case, they treated you as a friend."

"They were very generous to you. For example, you were able to master Animagus because of the special methods they shared."

"Friends?" Peter gave a bitter smile.

"If they really treated me as a friend, they wouldn't have asked me to accompany your transformed self on the night of the full moon without asking for my opinion;\nIf they really treated me as a friend, they wouldn't have given me an insulting nickname, Wormtail;\nIf they really treated me as a friend, they wouldn't have assumed that I would join the fight against the Dark Lord after graduation without asking for my choice;\nIf they really treated me as a friend, they wouldn't have directly come to my door and made me James' Secret-Keeper without considering my life or death."

Peter Pettigrew became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction.

"I want to ask, why?"

"You go and be heroes, why should I risk my life to bear your risks?"

"James' family's life is a life, isn't my life a life too?"

"Although you claim to the outside world that Sirius is the Secret-Keeper, everyone knows that the four of us were very close during school."

"What if I am targeted by the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters? What if they抓住me to threaten Sirius? What should I do? What will Sirius do?"

"I still have a mother. I just want to live with my mother. I don't want to be involved in anything related to the Dark Lord. What's wrong with me?"

"Of course you're wrong!" Even though his body was tied up, Sirius roared and headbutted him.

"No matter how nicely you put it, it can't change the fact that you are a cowardly, timid, and friend-selling scumbag."

"No matter how nicely you put it, it can't cover up the fact that you killed James and Lily."

"You say you were once a brave person, but I have never seen your courage to resist!"

Sirius desperately bit at Peter, as if he would not be satisfied until he bit him to death.

Seeing this scene, Lupin directly took action and separated the two.

"I admit everything you said. That's right, I am a coward, a scumbag, a wretch."

Peter Pettigrew gasped for breath, looking at Lupin with a miserable smile.

He had already understood his ending. The best outcome would be life imprisonment in Azkaban, and the worst would be that he would get the Dementor's Kiss.

So he doesn't care about anything now. He wants to say everything he wants to say.

"Remus, we and James and Sirius are not the same kind of people. Those two are the real friends."

"As for us, we are just the young masters' followers."

"Remus, see Sirius' true colors. He has never really cared about you."
