Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Chapter 129: The Mouse Enters the Urn

"Remus, I'm very happy that you can find me. You know, I am very busy these days, busy going to various places to give speeches, or Harry specially invited me to come to the game. I have time to come here. Now we finally have a chance to have a good chat. [Full text reading]" Peter Pettigrew knocked lightly in front of Lupin’s office door, and then found that the door was hidden, he pushed in directly. I found that Lu Ping was sitting in front of the old wooden table that had been used for many years, looking at him tiredly.

"My friend, you are still so poor." Peter Pettigrew said with some sympathy. He kept looking at everything in front of him. This is the first time he has come to Lupin's office. On his left is a A dark blue brush is automatically cleaning the dusty bookshelf, but the more it sweeps, the dirtier it gets. There is a gray-black trash can at his right foot. Peter Pettigrew swept away and saw that it was full. Medicine dregs, Peter Pettigrew picked up a quill pen on the desk at random, and started to play with it, looking at all of this with his rapidly improving taste in these days.

Shabby, poor, no future.

"You can find a better job." Peter Pettigrew said.

Man is a very complicated animal, and this is particularly prominent in Peter Pettigrew. He is now famous and has a halo. He has seen a world that he could not imagine before, and he is treated with respect everywhere he goes. Become a hero in the eyes of everyone.

The admiration of others made him float and swell infinitely. Now he is like a kid who has got a novel toy, eager to show off to his old friends.

"Come on, please, now that I'm so famous, I can help you, Lupin, as long as I say hello to the Ministry of Magic, your problem will be solved." Pettigrew Peter screamed like crazy inside, he He desperately needs the recognition of his former friends. How much he hopes that there will be a trace of envy or even jealousy in Lupin's eyes, just like the original him, a follower following the three of them.

They will never understand the inner feelings of a follower.

People with weak hearts tend to rely on others' approval to numb themselves..

"I'm fine, Peter. The profession of a teacher is very suitable for me. I am very satisfied to see the students' curiosity in the eyes." Lu Ping said calmly, as if he didn't even notice that there was something in Peter Pettigrew's tone. Sense of superiority.

"Oh, well, you are still so stubborn." The disappointment in Peter Pettigrew's tone flashed past."Then what do you want to do with me today?" Peter Pettigrew asked afterwards. He didn't know why Lupin suddenly found him.

"It's just a reminiscence between normal old friends." Lupin waved his hand and said, trying to squeeze a smile on that pale face that was too old, and picked up his wand on the desk without a trace.

With a "crunch", the concealed door was suddenly closed with a dull sound, perhaps brought on by the wind outside.

"We haven't seen each other in twelve years, but everything seems to have happened yesterday." Lupin looked up at the kerosene lamp hanging on the ceiling and said with emotion."I thought you were dead, but you really gave me a surprise that night, and you are so close to me, you are the pet of one of my students."

"Justice will be late, but will never be absent." Dwarf Xingyi patted his chest and said bluntly. This is a sentence taught to him by Malfoy, so that he can use it when speaking. Whenever he says this sentence At that time, the audience in the audience would always look at him with tears and be incited by him.

But Peter Pettigrew would not know. In fact, this sentence was aimed at him. Only when he was brought to justice can this sentence be truly realized.

"I always think so." Lupin nodded and replied in a faint voice, "Evil can't overcome righteousness, Voldemort is self-defeating and self-defeating."

Hearing the name of the former master so directly, Peter's chubby body trembled, and he almost fell over.

At this time, the sound of Gada Gada kept coming from the bookshelf beside Peter.

"Remus, it's time to change your bookshelf. Look, it's always shaking. I don't even doubt that it will fall down the next moment. Would you like me to give you one? This is an increase between old friends A gift of affection." Peter Pettigrew is now holding his chin with his sturdy palm, his small eyes are narrowed, and he looks at this unstable bookshelf carefully, trying to hide the name of someone he just heard. Tension afterwards.

The shaking of the bookshelf became more and more violent, and the books inside seemed to jump out at any time and hit Peter Pettigrew on the head.

"Look, it's really going to fall! Remus!" Peter Pettigrew said in a panic, and an obscure premonition suddenly rose in his heart. He always felt that there was something hostile to him hidden behind this bookshelf. Come out to deal with him at any time.

Lupin ignored Peter Pettigrew’s words, and didn’t even look at the crumbling bookshelf. Instead, he shook his head slightly and said, “But what I got from other people is what you said in those days and afterwards. 'S speech is completely different."

The vague feelings in his heart rose more and more. His premonition of danger was always accurate. Peter Pettigrew took out his wand from behind and aimed it at the bookshelf. This was a magic wand specially tailored for him by Ollivander. ——Using chestnut and dragon nerves, the length is nine and one-quarter inches, and the texture is firm, which suits him well.

The aura brought to him by the heroic deeds even allowed the best wand maker in the world to make an exception for him. Thinking of this, Peter's hand holding the wand unconsciously became harder.

"Except your weapon!" A figure suddenly appeared behind the shaking bookshelf. He raised his wand and suddenly cast a spell at Peter Pettigrew. The scarlet light shot out from between the rods without hesitation, Peter Pettigrew. Even though he had the heart to guard, he still hadn't been able to resist this swift disarming spell.

The magic wand was thrown high into the air by the spell, and then returned to the figure's hand.

Peter Pettigrew was repelled many steps by the powerful impact, and he used his small eyes to look intently. With just one glance, the chill hits his forehead from the soles of his feet.

Sirius Black!

Peter Pettigrew stared at the man in front of him in horror. This was someone he never expected to appear here. He was tall, with fanatical eyes, and a mess of dirty, tangled hair hanging down to his elbows. The eyes in the deep and dark sockets are not glowing, and he may be a corpse; the waxy skin clings to the skeleton of the face, which looks like a skull.He bared his yellow teeth and grinned, but in fact, in Peter Pettigrew's memory, this person should be staying in an iron cage in the form of a dog, looking at him feebly.

"Lupin! What do you mean! Are you in a gang with him? Did you forget? It was this man who killed James and Lily and almost killed me." Peter Pettigrew looked at Lu in a panic Ping screamed, and in horror, the name was changed from the closest name to the last name.

"I really hate that I didn't kill you at the time." Sirius Black stretched out his tongue and licked his lips. There was something flickering in his dark eyes, like a hound that had found its target and culled its prey at any time.

"Calm down, Sirius," Lupin said, calming Sirius Black's emotions.

"I'm just a little curious, I heard something very different from Blake's mouth." Lupin stood up slowly, staring at Peter Pettigrew with a torch.

"One of you must be lying." Lupin walked to the middle of the two, looked around, then said slowly.

"Remus, my old friend, when will you be bewitched by the black wizard's rhetoric? I remember you used to be the most upright and sensible classmate. Come on, let's subdue him. We now have two people, this traitor. Can't escape." Peter Pettigrew's body was trembling, his small eyes could not stop swirling in his sockets, his head was thinking crazy about how to solve the current situation.

Since Lupin showed this behavior now, it means that he must have doubts about himself, but this has no explanation at all.

Peter Pettigrew became more puzzled. How Lupin would be in the mood to listen to Black's explanation. Even though he has a gentle temperament, he is treating friends. Once the two meet, Lupin will surely subdue the traitor Sirius in his eyes. Or the latter subdues Lupin. If it is the latter, Peter Pettigrew doesn't think that Sirius's empty words can make Lupin give him so much trust, and even persuade Lupin to do it himself.

You know, he is the target of external propaganda now, and Peter Pettigrew is the hero who avenged his friends and almost died!

Lupin could not have trusted Sirius Black so much for his few words.

Just when Peter Pettigrew was still thinking about what made Sirius Black trust Lupin, Lupin spoke.

"Speech? Peter, if you can speak to me even after drinking Veritaserum, then I trust your words too."

Lupin said hoarsely, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Veritaserum?" It was as if a thick and powerful hand suddenly held his heart, Peter Pettigrew felt that the blood in his whole body had begun to flow backwards, and the factor of fear had penetrated every inch of his bones in him.

A name broke into his brain!

Draco Malfoy!

Why did Sirius get out of the cage?He was clearly locked in Malfoy's cage. Where did he get Veritaserum?In Peter's memory, this potion had only appeared in Malfoy's hands.

"I give you one last warning, Peter, if you continue to perfuse me like this, you will have good fruit." Peter suddenly thought of the warning Malfoy gave him after his last meeting with Malfoy. A boy with pale blonde short hair had indifferent eyes and a chilling voice.

But he didn't take it seriously then?

Another scene came to his mind.

"Peter Pettigrew, what are you going to do with this black dog?" Peter Pettigrew suddenly said something in his mind. It was earlier, that day Malfoy explained to him the last question after the plan was completed. .

"My suggestion is to kill, so that it will be done once and for all. The only people in the world who know this secret will be the two of us." Malfoy bewitched him with a devilish smile."This way you will have no more worries." He said, Peter Pettigrew's heart was starting to chill.

Human nature is complicated. When he was already safe, Peter Pettigrew was moved with compassion. He looked at the thin black dog and felt unbearable.

"Let me think about it." Peter Pettigrew said timidly, his eyes filled with struggle and hesitation. People like him can only burst out of strength when they are in desperate situation. They dare to attack anyone for their own lives, but in comfort. At that time, it was impossible to make such a cruel decision.

He could inform Voldemort and indirectly kill James who regarded him as his brother, but he could never kill him personally.

The same goes for Sirius.

At this time, he remembered that Sirius had treated him well and chose to let it go.

So, is this situation caused by oneself?His momentary softness gave Sirius Black a chance to escape the cage, and even convinced Lupin to set himself a trap.

Little dwarf Peter felt extremely regretful in his heart. He wanted to go back to that time and make himself more decisive and cruel, so that today's things would not happen.

Of course, he would not know that it was a test that Malfoy deliberately gave him, just to see if his personality was covetous enough, not cruel enough, and could be controlled by himself, if he chose the latter, he said It may be of no use value, and it has now been reported and stayed in Azkaban.

"Peter, you still have a chance to trust me now, that is to drink this potion and answer my questions." Lupin held the transparent bottle in his hand, slowly approaching Sirius's footsteps, Peter Pettigrew He walked back in fear, until he couldn't retreat and shrank in the dark corner.

"Joke, this may be a poison specially deployed by this traitor. You just want to kill me by this means. Lupin, you should be sober and don't be confused by his ridiculous statement." Peter tried his best to show a sneer. He now I can only postpone the time, so I might have some hope.

"Then if you want to die, Black and I will die first. We both drank." Lupin still said in a slightly tired tone."Now this is the only way I can think of you to prove yourself. I hope in my heart that you two have any misunderstandings, neither are dirty betrayers." Lupin stared at Peter Pettigrew, seemingly stable. Under the surface, the heart is surging.

Even Lupin himself could not have imagined that in a short period of time, there would be such a big reversal in this matter.

He even thought that everything would be concluded with Peter's appearance, and he only needs to catch Black and everything will be settled.
