Chapter 140: Snape's Compromise
"You're threatening me?" There was a hint of anger in Snape's gloomy eyes, as if he had no idea that Augustus would be so outspoken, that he simply didn't take him seriously.
Augustus sighed lightly, "Professor, don't you think there are too many doubts in this matter, not to mention why Sirius blew up a street just to kill Pettigrew, he could have assassinated Peter without alarming anyone, I believe he definitely has the strength." Now, when he escaped from Atskabain, why did he come all the way to Hogwarts just to kill a mouse? With your wisdom, you shouldn't be so reckless and unapproachable at all, in the final analysis, you are still blinded by the hatred of the year, it was just a prank when you were a student, is it just because of the farce of the year, you can be so reckless and ruin the lives of others? β
"Farce? Do you think a planned murder was just a pure farce? Snape smiled sarcastically, "It's true that I've never been very fond of James, but before they did that, it was just plain annoyance. If it weren't for Blake's so-called farce, I would not have hated anyone so much. As for the suspicions you mentioned, in my opinion, it doesn't work at all, who would understand the mentality of a murderer, everything he does, although it seems unreasonable, but in fact, for this kind of villains who have long been psychologically distorted, this is what they do is the most in line with their mentality. β
"That joke is working on you again, Severus," Blake snarled, "as long as the boy brings Spotted back to the castle," he cocked his head to Ron's side. "I'll go with you quietly,"
"To the castle?" A strange smile appeared on Snape's face, "I don't think I have to go this far, all I have to do is call the Dementors as soon as I step out of that willow tree." They will be so happy to see you, Blake, I dare say, they will be happy to give you a little kiss."
"Pathetic to you!" Harry yelled, "It's just that you didn't even listen to them because they joked with you when you were a student."
"Shut up! Don't talk to me like that!" Snape screamed, looking even crazier. "For a father there is a son. Porter! I just saved your life. You should get down on your knees and thank me! If he kills you, you deserve it! You're going to die like your dad, too arrogant and arrogant to believe you've looked away at Blake?? Now, get out of the way, or I'll force you to get out of the way. Get out of the way, Potter!"
Augustus waved his hand and motioned for Harry and the others to get out of the way, "Professor, if you want to leave so much to report it, then you can go, it just so happens that Fudge is also around here, and if you don't bother, you can also summon the Dementors here." However, this matter, I am in charge, do not find out the truth behind the scenes, I will never allow anyone to disrupt the current trial, whether it is the Minister of Magic, or some Dementor, you just try, maybe, you still don't understand the current situation, since I am here, today, who should go to Atskabaan, it will also be up to me to decide, of course, the last murderer must be the real mastermind. β
Snape's face was a little gloomy, and it was only now that he realized that the situation seemed to be out of his control, indeed, whether it was summoning a Dementor or asking Fudge for help, it was almost useless for this proud protΓ©gΓ© in front of him, in terms of strength, he had nearly a hundred Dementor Revenants under his command, and in terms of strength, the Julius family, as the first family in the wizarding world, even if Fudge personally went out, it didn't seem to have much effect. In this way, I can only participate in this matter as a bystander.
Snape let out a slight breath, and his face slowly became calm, "Since Mr. Augustus's trial of this incident is imperative, then I won't hinder you, you can continue, I am just a bystander, for this mouse, I want to see if it is the so-called Peter Pettigrew who has been dead for more than ten years." β
Lupin glanced at Augustus with a slight grateful, "Thank you for your words, Mr. Augustus, for giving us a chance to defend ourselves." β
"Then it is time for us to give you some evidence," said Blake, "and you, son, give me Peter." Right now. β
Snape looked coldly at what Black had done, and couldn't help but sneer, "Why, do you want to do it, of course, kill this mouse, and then slander him as a Pettigrew, so that there is no proof of death, right?" β
Ron gripped Blob closer to his chest.
"Don't mess with it." "Do you want to say that you escaped from Azkaban just to attack Madara?" I mean" He looked at Harry and Hermione, asking for their support. "Okay, let's just say Peter Pettigrew will turn into a mouse?? There are thousands of rats in the world?? He's locked up in Azkaban, how can he know which mouse he's looking for?"
"You know, Sirius, that's a fair question," Lupin said, turning to Blake and frowning slightly, "how did you find out where he was?"
"That's right, just like I asked before, how did you find a pettigrew star that had been lurking in Ron's house for twelve years, which is really unreasonable." Augustus nodded.
Blake reached into his robe with a hand like a bird's claw and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. He smoothed the paper and showed it to everyone.
It was a picture of the Rons, which was on the show last summer, and it was spotted on Ron's shoulders.
"So, it was Spotted's fingers and your familiarity with him that made you discover?" Augustus said suddenly.
"Well, yes, it's missing a toe." Blake said.
When Snape heard this, it seemed that for the first time he had noticed the spots on Ron's body, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and his eyes were thoughtful.
"So what?" Ron said nonchalantly.
"Do you hear that, Ron?" "The largest piece of Peter's remains that people have ever found is his finger," Lupin said. β
"And, a mouse that has lived for twelve years, do you know what that means?" Lupin said to Ron gently, as if he was simply discussing a subject.
Augustus raised another question, "Whether he's a Pettigrew or not." It is undeniable that Blake betrayed the Potters as the secret keepers of the Cruelty Curse, and if he hadn't snitched it, how could Voldemort have killed them. β
Harry's eyes froze, and as if to get to the point, the room fell silent for a moment.
