Now, his weak follower has to choose his master again!
Peter Pettigrew had a strange smile on his lips, if his companions had been killed by the Dark Lord, who would know they had betrayed?!
His plan was foolproof, and he began to betray the Order of the Phoenix to gain the Dark Lord's trust, and although Dumbledore suspected him, James, Sirius, and Lupin testified for him, even if he was only the most humble member of the group.
Peter Pettigrew knew his three friends too well, they didn't fully trust him, but their pride and blind arrogance blinded them, and even if they didn't trust him, they would still support him when Dumbledore asked.
As long as he is a member of this small group, the three of them will support themselves unconditionally.
This is the stupid Gryffindor, what a wonderful cover!
Knowing that Dumbledore was beginning to doubt himself, Peter Pettigrew stopped divulging information, as he was not sure if Dumbledore had deliberately told him this information. He knew he had to hold back, he had to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that would make the Dark Lord trust him completely.
He remembered that rainy night twelve years ago, when Sirius, James, and Lily found him pale, and they asked him to be Jaime and Lily's secret keeper.
This was Sirius's suggestion, on the grounds that he was weak and stupid enough not to attract Voldemort's attention at all.
This is what they have always thought of themselves, a lowly, weak, stupid companion, a henchman who has never dared to contradict them, who thinks they are the most suitable secrecy.
They didn't tell anyone about it, not even Lupin and Dumbledore, it was just a secret between the four of them.
That night, Peter Pettigrew felt overjoyed!
His forbearance finally paid off, and when he became the Potters' secret keeper, he couldn't wait to find the Dark Lord when he was sure that Harry Potter, the Dark Lord had been looking for, was in that house.
He fell to his knees and betrayed Jaime and Lily to the Dark Lord, and as expected, he gained the trust he had coveted, and the Dark Lord told him how to enter the place, the ancient ruins he had found with James, Black, and Lupin in the Forbidden Forest of the school.
There was a powerful dark force hidden in that ruin, and the Dark Lord must have been there when he was a student.
It is said that it may be a powerful source of power for the Dark Lord himself, certainly not all, but Peter is not greedy enough to become a powerful dark wizard like the Dark Lord.
As before, as long as there was an insignificant spot in the corner of the stage, he was satisfied. Previously, at Hoglife, he had relied on James, Sirius, and Lupin to get that position, and now in the wizarding world, the Dark Lord, a stronger backer, would help him find his place.
Peter Pettigrew thought so, but who would have thought that the Dark Lord would actually fail, at the hands of a newborn baby?!
For a while, he thought he was close to success, close enough that he could see power, power, and status beckoning to him, but this dream was shattered in an instant, and he was forced to start his own life as a fugitive.
Peter Pettigrew had no choice, and in addition to Sirius' monstrous rage, he had to escape the other Death Eaters.
His chosen method was to fake his death, and when Sirius's spell came upon him, he used a spell to explode the entire street, leaving only one finger and making everyone think he was dead.
Sirius Black takes his place as the culprit of the whole thing, and as expected, the proud Sirius doesn't explain to anyone else at all, believing that he killed Jaime and Lily, and that he is going to Azkaban to atone for his sins.
He escaped, and his mother lost her son, but was awarded a Sir Merlin Medal of the First Class, though he deserved much more than that.
Peter Pettigrew saw his mother bury the medal and his finger next to his father's grave, and his tombstone reads: A brave and fearless warrior, a well-deserved Gryffindor, who gave his life to fight against the evil forces of darkness, and his father and mother will always be proud of him.
Yes, in my mother's opinion, he has finally become a person like her father, who gave his life for a stupid reason, and she should be satisfied.
Peter Pettigrew closed his eyes in pain, having been hiding in the Weasley house as a mouse for the next twelve years, knowing that he had to keep in touch with the wizarding world so that he could be the first to know the Dark Lord's movements.
The year before, he had seen the Dark Lord again at Hogwarts.
The once mighty Dark Wizard had become a weak shadow, and to be honest, Peter was so disappointed that he couldn't understand what was going on, and what was the point of his betrayal if Voldemort was no longer so powerful that he was frightening?
He didn't reveal himself immediately, he decided to observe Voldemort to see if he was still as strong as he was before.
Peter Pettigrew was glad he did, and over the next two years, he witnessed Voldemort's defeat twice in a row.
Seeing Voldemort fail again and again, Peter Pettigrew was terrified, he didn't understand why the Dark Lord failed, he obviously had such great strength, why he would fail again and again when facing a weak child.
It seems that the wind direction has really changed, maybe I should change my backer!
Peter Pettigrew awoke from his memory suddenly, something was moving outside, he quietly stuck his head out to take a look, it was three o'clock in the second half of the night, and outside was the house-elf named Dobby, who was packing his things.
Peter Pettigrew's eyes narrowed, he felt like the house-elf.
They were both so lowly, so cowardly, that the other had been Malfoy's house slave, but now he was the servant of the boy named Evan Mason.
Maybe he can be like the other party, turn around and join Harry Potter, the savior who defeated Voldemort many times.
This is not impossible, the events of that year are only known to Sirius Black and himself, as long as Sirius is dealt with, he will be able to reappear in front of everyone as a hero.
The situation has changed completely, now that Voldemort has lost power, his henchmen, the Death Eaters who were not captured in Azkaban, will not come to trouble themselves because of what happened back then, and it is time to return to the wizarding world.
The only trouble now is the little Sirius Black, as long as he is dealt with, no one will know what happened back then.
Peter Pettigrew reappeared with a strange smile on his lips, and he could tell the others that he had endured humiliation for years, guarding the only orphan of his former best friend, and protecting Harry from the forces of evil.
He can reappear as a tragic hero, the hero who has the greatest credit for defeating Voldemort, and he can even apply to be Harry's sole guardian.
Even if Dumbledore and Lupin were suspicious, they had no reason to object.
It was wonderful, and perhaps the Ministry of Magic would consider re-awarding himself a Merlin Medal, and he would be able to get back all the honor, power, and power that awaited him in the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Peter Pettigrew knew he needed a plan, a plan to get rid of Sirius Black once and for all.
First of all, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, he needs to disappear from the crowd.
He had to escape Sirius Black and the cat named Crook Hill, and for some reason, Peter could feel that the boy named Evan Mason was beginning to doubt himself. He had to be careful, after all, the other party could even defeat Voldemort when he was a student, and as far as he knew, Evan didn't rely entirely on luck or Dumbledore's help like Harry, this boy completely relied on his own strength and wisdom to defeat Voldemort.
It was terrifying, and Peter was afraid that the other party already knew something, and he had to hide first.
Then, he needed a wand.
Of course, neither of these things is too difficult!
The difficulty was that he would know Sirius's location, and if he found Sirius, there would be people in the castle willing to help him deal with him.
Peter Pettigrew suddenly remembered the map he had made with James, Sirius, and Lupin, which could help him, and remembered that the map had been confiscated by Filch when they were in seventh grade.
If nothing else, it should still be there.
