Marvel's Hogwarts Wizards

Chapter 334 Veritaserum (Part 1)

"So, Jerry, you passed the Marauder's Map and discovered that Pettigrew, who had been dead for many years, was actually active in the castle. Later, you discovered that Pettigrew moved in the same trajectory as Scabbers, so that's why you became suspicious?"

After listening to Jerry's explanation, the three of them understood the function of the Marauder's Map and why Jerry thought Scabbers was a dwarf.

"Yes, I thought it was a problem with the map before, but the incident with Sirius made me think maybe it wasn't a problem with the Marauder's map. Scabbers might really be Peter Pettigrew. He and Sirius are both Annie and the horse. Gus!"

Jerry nodded, looked at Ron again and said:

"Originally, I wanted to tell the principal directly, but considering that Banban is your pet, I think it's better to test it outside first, and then make a decision after understanding the situation."

"Thank you, just, I don't know what to do now, why did he turn into a mouse and hide in our house?"

Ron looked at the guy in front of him who was frozen and could only move his eyes, and he really couldn't connect it with his pet Scabbers that he kept in his pocket every day.

"It is recorded in "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century" that Peter Pettigrew was crushed to death by Sirius with an explosive curse twelve years ago. He also killed many Muggles at that time. He is recognized as a hero in the wizarding world. After his death Awarded a First Class Order of Merlin."

Hermione recalled the magic books she had read, and told all the information about Pettigrew.

"Why did an innocent person turn into a mouse and hide? Why did everyone think he was dead? Why did he run away the first time after being restored to human form?"

Jerry asked several questions in succession, causing the three of Hermione to fall into deep thought.

After a while, Harry was the first to notice that Jerry had something to say, and said directly:

"Jerry, do you think that Peter Pettigrew is not a hero like the book said, and there may be other hidden secrets?"

"As expected of being the protagonist of this world, my brain is turning very fast."

Jerry nodded, indicating that he guessed right.

But at this time Ron frowned and had a different point of view:

"I don't think he's a bad guy, why don't Jerry undo the magic first and let him explain what's going on?"

After keeping pets for so many years, Ron still has some affection for Scabbers.

Hermione shook her head and analyzed rationally:

"I think it should be handed over directly to the professor and the principal. We can't tell whether what he said is the truth or a lie, and if he is not a good person and unlocks the magic, he may attack us directly."

"Old-fashioned words!"

Seeing Hermione's answer, Jerry nodded silently.

According to the normal situation, facing an adult wizard like Pettigrew who can't tell good from bad, handing him over to the principal is the safest and safest solution.

However, it is obviously not a normal situation now, because of his existence.

"Hermione is right, but I happen to have something here that can confirm whether he is a good person or not, and why he didn't die back then and hid in Ron's house as a mouse."

Jerry smiled and took out a small bottle of blue potion from inside his wizard robe.

"what is this?"

Ron looked at the magical blue potion with a curious look on his face.

Jerry spit out two words:

"Vitaserum!"

"What, Veritaserum, that is a super difficult potion. I remember to use 5 mg of Sri Lankan vulture bile, 3 grams of Bo Locke summer grass, 3 grams of half-ear grass buds, and Icelandic Juris"

Seeing that Hermione seemed to be about to explain the entire recipe and refining method of Veritaserum, Harry quickly interrupted her and asked:

"What does it do?"

Hermione, who was interrupted, looked a little unhappy, but continued to explain:

"This is a kind of potion that can make people tell the truth. Just three drops will be effective. However, the refining materials are complicated and rare, and it is extremely difficult to refine. It seems that Professor Snape doesn't have a few bottles. I said, You should really pay attention to the class, these potions are all taught in the potion class, by the way, Jerry, did you make this yourself?"

"Yes, I bought a lot of herbs and materials for Veritaserum when I was traveling in Greece, so I tried to refine it according to the method taught by Professor Snape, but I didn't expect it to be successful.

If you are interested, you can try it next time, I still have a lot of herbs and materials left! "

Jerry opened the cork on the crystal bottle and dropped three drops of Veritaserum into the immobile Pettigrew's mouth.

Although the herbs for Veritaserum are rare, as long as they can be bought, he can use growth magic to spawn them, and then multiply them into a grassland.

Therefore, in fact, Jerry can collect all kinds of herbs for refining veritaserum on the ground of the box space, and he can collect several baskets.

Others such as auxiliary Sri Lankan vulture bile, ferret heart tendon, salamander serum, etc. are not a problem, because he also bought a lot to keep in the box space.

Seeing the veritaserum dripping into his mouth, Pettigrew immediately showed a look of horror in his eyes, but his body was fixed by Jerry, and he could not resist except for the movement of his eyes.

"The curse stops immediately, imprison quickly, well, you can ask now."

After instilling Veritaserum, Jerry first lifted Pettigrew's body-binding spell, and then bound him firmly with a rope spell.

The Rope Curse is different from the Body-Binding Curse. It is an extended spell of the Transfiguration Curse. It can create a hemp rope and then bind the target according to the wizard's wishes.

It is a spell specially invented to deal with some magical animals with high magic resistance.

For example, like a centaur, when you cast a full body binding spell, it may be directly offset by the magic resistance of the centaur, and then an arrow will give you a chill.

But if you use the Rope Curse, you can instantly bind the centaur into a dumpling, completely losing its ability to resist.

Of course, it can also be used to bind Pettigrew's limbs like it is now, so that it can speak and answer questions normally under the condition of ensuring safety.

"Mr. Peter, please tell me what happened to you in the past twelve years and why you turned into a mouse and hid at Ron's house!"

Hearing Jerry's words, Harry, Hermione and Ron all stepped forward and started asking questions.

And Peter Pettigrew, also under the effect of Veritaserum, began to answer in every detail.

Half an hour later, Harry's eyes were red, he pulled out his wand with anger on his face, and shouted at Peter Pettigrew:

"Ah, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

However, before he could use his magic, the wand was physically taken away by Hermione who was quick-eyed and quick-handed:

"Harry, I think you should calm down, calm down, you have to think clearly, if you kill Pettigrew now, no one will know that Sirius was wronged, and he is still imprisoned in Azkaban!"
