Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

"Ho...ho..." Blakely broke away from Lupine's arms as animagus and quickly turned into a big dog and rushed towards Pettigrew viciously.

Pettigrew stopped talking and screamed.

Fortunately, just when Sirius' claws were about to touch Pettigrew's body, a wooden vine grabbed his body and pulled it back.

Even so, Pettigrew's tattered wizard robe was torn off in large pieces by sharp claws, revealing the white body underneath.

Sur also saw that a drop of water quickly wet the hem of Pettigrew's wizard robe, and an unpleasant smell immediately spread out.

"Yeah..." Hermione immediately covered her eyes and hid behind Sur, who also frowned and pinched his nose in disgust.

Dumbledore let out a sigh and waved his hand, and a breeze quickly swept away the smell. The wooden vines tied Black tightly, and Pettigrew's wizard robes were restored to their integrity.

"Okay, Mr. Pettigrew," Dumbledore said softly, "I am very curious, why, after knowing that Black was captured and the Dark Lord was completely defeated, he still turned into a mouse and hid until today?"

"As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic awarded you a Merlin First Class Knight badge afterwards. Why don't you come out and claim this badge?"

"This is an unparalleled honor, Mr. Pediru. There should be few wizards who can resist such a temptation."

Pettigrew seemed to be frightened and stood there blankly. After hearing Dumbledore's question, he trembled and answered like a frightened person.

"I'm scared, Professor, I'm scared, even though I know Black has been imprisoned in Azkaban."

"I'm afraid that he will come out from Azkaban to catch me." At this point, Pettigrew's eyes drifted towards Black, and the meaning was self-evident.

Soul shook his head and sighed. Until now, Peter Pettigrew has not recognized the situation and is still trying to get rid of his own problems.

Even if what he said was indeed logically self-consistent, it was still full of loopholes.

Even if Black was imprisoned in Azkaban, he was unwilling to show up. He hid for 12 years until he was captured. This is already very difficult to win people's trust.

In 12 years, for 12 years, wanted criminals have never been able to hide like this.

Not to mention that Black, the person involved, is right in front of him, and Pettigrew is still denying it in every possible way, even though his acting skills are really good...

Soul glanced at Hermione, who was eating melon with him.

Judging from the expression, I am sure that I was deceived by Pettigrew's acting skills. Alas, she is still too young, little Hermione.

Look at the past principals on the wall behind the principal's office. They have all squeezed into the photo frame closest to the scene. Look at the different expressions of gossip and disdain on their faces.

Well, the wise and powerful headmasters of the past generations did not take Pettigrew's self-defense to heart, let alone Dumbledore.

It is absolutely true that those who are too old to die are those who are thieves, not to mention the curse of Legilimency. Dumbledore has definitely seen through the fact that Soul dared to eat a box of cockroaches.

Blake was whining non-stop at this time, trying to struggle out of the vine.

Professor McGonagall waved her wand and loosened the wooden vines that bound Sirius' muzzle.

"Woof!" A cry with strong anger sounded in the principal's office. Suer noticed that Fox, who had been sleeping, was startled and fell backwards.

There was magic in Dumbledore's words, which seemed to calm people down.

"You seem to have something to say, Mr. Black. It just so happens that Mr. Pedillo is here now. You might as well confront him face to face."

Professor McGonagall received Dumbledore's gaze and waved her wand with a cold expression to release Black. Surprisingly, although Black looked very angry, he did not pounce on Pettigrew as before.

Instead, he calmed down and returned to his human form within a few seconds, looking at Pettigrew coldly.

Calm returned to the principal's room, and the atmosphere became colder. Everyone noticed that there were drops of water dripping from Pettigrew's forehead.

Perhaps Pettigrew has realized that what he just said seems to be logically logical, but there are also fatal flaws.

"Huh..." Seeing Pettigrew's gaze shift away, not daring to look at him, Blake sneered, his hoarse voice filled with suppressed anger, "Why betray James and Lily?"

"Stop playing those tricks of yours, dear Wormtail, you can't fool even a child with them."

Soul was stunned and noticed Pettigrew's gaze. Oh, it seems that there are only two children in this office, himself and Hermione... Hmm...

He gave Pettigrew a harmless smile.

But this smile made Pettigrew feel cold all over, as if...where had he seen it before?His intuition told him that he must have seen it somewhere?But I can't remember...

"Say it, Wormtail." Black took a step forward, his swaying thin body carrying a frightening power.

Pettigrew had to put his thoughts back to the field. He unconsciously took a step back, sweat dripping down his face.

He felt like he was about to pee again... Ever since his important parts disappeared, he always felt like he couldn't hold back the urge to pee...

Under Black's gaze, Pettigrew pursed his lips a few times, and his eyes swept over the faces of Dumbledore, Lupine and Professor McGonagall imploringly, but without exception, their eyes were full of calm...

No, with a hint of mockery...

It turns out that he is just a clown?

Pettigrew suddenly understood this, why he came here without knowing it.

It was clear that a group of people were laughing at him, so Pettigrew laughed mockingly, with despair in his laughter.

Then, he spoke, "Yes, I betrayed Lily and James."

"I was the one who told the Dark Lord their address."

"Why?" Blake also smiled, with anger, "We regarded you as a true friend, but you betrayed us."

"Black, you don't understand, you really don't understand." Pettigrew sat down weakly and murmured, "He is too powerful. I have always been inferior to you, whether it is you, James, or Len Mus, I am not as brave as you and dare to confront the Dark Lord."

"So you chose to betray." Blake asked, his voice extremely calm, like the calm before the storm.

Pettigrew shook his head, his voice full of despair, but no one could hear even a little bit of regret in his words.

"I never wanted to kill James and Lily, but the Dark Lord forced me - I had no choice, I really had no choice, Sirius, you don't know, he brought his men to find me - --"

"But as far as I know, before Lily and James were found, you had already passed information to him for a full year." The anger in Blake's eyes suddenly burned, and he even pulled out his wand.

"Ah...it turns out you already knew it." Pettigrew smiled weakly, "Ha, his power is so powerful, if I resist, I will be killed."

"I don't want to die, Sirius, not all the time."

"So you chose to be a shameful traitor and betrayed James and Lily." Black roared angrily, the tip of his staff flashing with light, "You know, if it were you, we would fight against Voldemort for you!!"

"I would rather die than betray my friends!!!"

"Whoosh" In extreme anger, a red light shot out from the tip of Black's staff, aiming at Pettigrew who was slumped on the ground. However, Dumbledore, who was well prepared, missed the curse and the red light blasted to one side. bookshelf.

A pile of books fell down with a clatter.

"Okay, enough talking here." Dumbledore waved his wand, and Pettigrew immediately collapsed to the ground, closed his eyes, and passed out.

"Don't forget, we have to explain to the Ministry of Magic later that the only thing that can punish Pettigrew is the law."

"It's not long before the agreed time for the Aurors to come."
