Hogwarts Archmage

Chapter 32 Anger

"Peter Pettigrew! He's not..." After Marne cleaned up the pumpkin puree in the yard, Professor McGonagall finally noticed Peter on the ground, turned around and asked, "What's going on!?"

Ma En told her in detail what had just happened, and finally said: "He seems to be an Animagus. I don't know why the transformation failed. It stands to reason that he was just in a coma. This shouldn't be the case, but no matter what the reason It doesn't matter whether he shows up now, what matters is that this so-called hero has been hiding in the Weasley family for ten years. I think he deserves a shot of Legilimency, or...a drop of Veritaserum."

McGonagall pursed her lips and did not speak. Instead, she took out her wand and shot another firework at the location where Marne had just fired. The fire flashed and Dumbledore was brought here by the phoenix.

He didn't ask what happened, because Peter was lying on the ground.

Casting a magic spell casually, Peter shivered on the ground, woke up, raised his head and glanced, it was Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. He was about to continue curling up, but found that the angle of view was a little wrong.

He trembled suddenly and subconsciously wanted to run away. Ma En, who was nearby, immediately attracted his attention. He stretched out a hand and reached for the wand on Ma En's waist.

"Boom!" A dazzling white light flashed in front of him, and the flames exploded, flying him out and hanging him on the wall.

Professor McGonagall was originally a bit hesitant about probing his thoughts. Now looking at the situation, it was obvious that he had a problem. After thinking about it, he said a few words to Dumbledore next to him and borrowed his phoenix. Sent a brief letter to Snape.

Fox was very fast, flashing past, and then reappearing on the same spot. If the note on its paws hadn't disappeared, everyone would even suspect that it hadn't moved at all.

Dumbledore turned a stone slab into an iron cage with a fine mesh on the spot, cut out Pettigrew from the wall and locked it in.In the cage, he first lied, then begged for mercy, and finally even tried to bite the cage into pieces with his teeth. After ten minutes, Snape pushed the door open holding a bottle of potion.

The craftsman Wald also came in. He placed a homemade photo stone on the ground. This thing sold well and has been put on consignment in Langley's shop. However, the performance of the one in his hand is better and can withstand it. Live for more plays.

The iron cage deformed again as Dumbledore's wand danced, slowly revealing Pettigrew's head and clinging to the rest of his body, locking him to the ground.

Snape didn't say anything. When he saw that he was ready, he went over and pinched Peter's mouth open, and roughly pushed the test tube containing the truth serum into his throat. This was to prevent him from holding something in his mouth. Swallow down.

It wasn't long before Peter's eyes began to look hollow and the Veritaserum took effect.

"Peter Pettigrew, why did you turn into a mouse and hide in the Weasley house?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Because the Dark Lord is dead, I'm afraid someone will find out what I've done."

"What is your relationship with the Dark Lord?"

"I am his servant..."

The whole courtyard fell silent instantly, and Dumbledore glanced at Snape with a complicated expression.

Mag continued to ask: "What have you done for him over the years?"

Pettigrew still had that empty look, as if it had become a machine for answering questions:

"Because he was subdued..."

"...I fear death...I surrender to him..."

"...1980...gathering intelligence..."

"...Sirius...I was chosen as the Secret Keeper...took the Dark Lord to the Potter's residence..."

As he continued to talk intermittently, Snape's face became increasingly ugly.

"…The Dark Lord killed the Potters…"

"Avada!" Snape, who had been silent since entering, suddenly pulled out the wand from his waist with a ferocious look and shot a green death curse at Peter, but was pulled up from the ground by Dumbledore, who was well prepared. A stone slab blocks it.

"Calm down, Severus!" he said.

"You all get out of the way! I must kill him!" Snape was uncharacteristically excited and shouted at Dumbledore and McGonagall who were standing in the middle. He kept moving around, trying to find an angle to kill him with the killing curse. Peter.

"Collapse!" A voice came from behind him. The next second, Snape threw himself on the ground and fainted. Walder picked up the image stone on the ground and sighed: "The Unforgivable Curse. It seems this thing can’t be used anymore.”

Then he smashed the photographic stone into pieces on the ground.

No matter how much trouble they made, Peter behind the scenes continued to talk about what happened over the years, and it had come to an end: "I blamed Sirius for everything, and I pretended to be victimized and died because of chasing him."

Then there is life at the Weasley family, which can be summarized in a few sentences.

After a while, the effect of the Veritaserum was released, and he knew what had just happened. At the same time, he had an idea of ​​what kind of treatment he was about to receive. He lowered his head in despair and remained silent.

"Peter Pettigrew! You are a disgrace to Gryffindor!" Professor McGonagall clenched the wand in her hand tightly, and her angry voice spread throughout the small courtyard, "I wish I could kill you with my own hands, but now I can only Leave you alive and rescue Sirius. But you will stay in Azkaban forever until your whole body rots and becomes a pile of bones, and you will not be able to wash away all the sins you have committed!"

Harry, who had witnessed the whole thing, stood there, his vision blurred, and tears filling his eyes. Suddenly hearing the cause of his parents' death, he shed tears without falling into collapse. For a young wizard who was at a sensible but ignorant age, he Already strong enough.

Dumbledore went over to hug him and comforted him a few words. After he finally stopped crying, he turned his head and used magic to lift Pettigrew in the cage, and said to Walder and McGonagall: "I'm going to the Ministry of Magic. I may not come back soon, and the school will be left to the care of two professors for the time being."

After saying this and a few people nodding, Dumbledore was led away by Fox.

Walder pointed at Snape lying on the ground and said to McGonagall: "Professor Snape's mood seems to be unstable. I have to get him back first. You seem to have something to do, so I won't disturb you. "

After saying that, he dragged Snape and left here.

McGonagall chatted with a few more people, and after focusing on comforting Harry, asked: "So, these two cats caught Peter Pettigrew?"

"Yes, Professor, although I don't know why Pettigrew is here and didn't turn back into human form to attack them, but... this is always a good thing, isn't it."

Mag nodded repeatedly, "Then their names are..."

"One is called Thirty because I spent thirty galleons when I bought it. The other is called Rupert and is Esther's pet."

McGonagall knelt down and gently stroked the heads of Thirty and Rupert, "They are two brave cats. Congratulations, you will each add fifty points to Gryffindor."

After playing with the two cats for a while, she stood up and said: "And all the gentlemen and ladies present, each of you will add thirty points to the college."

The joyful mood instantly alleviated the situation just now. Even Harry, whose eyes were still red, showed some happy smiles, and Ron even cheered directly.
