Chapter 270: I'll Help You Catch Rats, You Help Me Kill People!
Although he was a prisoner, Sirius had no intention of begging for mercy and giving in, his eyes swept over a daily prophet scattered on the ground, looking at his own photo on the cover and the bounty of up to 10,000 Galleons, he seemed to understand something, and said sarcastically and self-deprecatingly.
"Congratulations, boy, you've caught the most evil and dangerous criminal of all time, when are you going to take me to claim your bounty."
"I have no interest in working for the Ministry of Magic." Ivan picked up the Prophet's Daily on the ground and crumpled it into the fire, staring directly at the emaciated, emaciated man in front of him.
"I'm here for you!"
Sirius was puzzled and didn't quite understand what Ivan meant, but he soon knew, and Ivan slowly spat out a name from his mouth.
"Pettigrew-Peter!"
Hearing this, Sirius's pupils shrank, and he rushed forward, grabbing Ivan's collar, but Ivan's wand was the first to push against his neck.
The tip of his wand glowed with magic light, calming Sirius somewhat, but his eyes under his long, messy hair were full of madness.
"Where did you get that name?" Sirius said word for word.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind, since the strange little wizard in front of him did not intend to hand himself over to the Ministry of Magic, there was only one possibility left.
The other party is here to kill himself on Peter's behalf! Or maybe the little wizard's family died in the explosion thirteen years ago, and now it's time to seek revenge!
After all, only he and Peter know about what happened back then...
And his current identity as a Death Eater who murdered thirteen Muggles and betrayed his friends, Peter could easily fool them.
Thinking of this, Sirius's eyes were red, and he didn't even care about the threat of death, so he planned to forcibly subdue the little wizard in front of him, and then explain slowly.
However, Ivan was faster, and in an instant activated the protective ring on his right hand, and the light of the Iron Charm flashed around him.
Sirius jeopardized and slammed into the wall behind it.
"You'd better calm down, I have no intention of being hostile to you." Ivan's tone was very stiff.
If it were normal, he might have told Sirius the reason, but now he wasn't in the mood for that!
"What the hell do you want to do?" Sirius got up on the ground with difficulty, and was easily subdued by Ivan twice, which had already made him understand that Ivan was far stronger than he expected, so he had to ask.
Ivan picked up another Daily Prophet on his desk, which had a headline cover of the Weasleys receiving a 1,000 Galleon prize for a trip to Egypt.
Ivan pointed to the spot in the photo where Ron was holding and said to Sirius. "I know what you're going to do, and I can help you catch that rat, but in return you'll need to be on my orders for the time being..."
Sirius's gaze moved away from Ivan's, and he looked at the mouse in the newspaper with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Why should I trust you?" Sirius said disdainfully.
He could have gone and caught Peter himself, without anyone's help, and he didn't trust the little wizard in front of him.
"You don't have a choice! If you don't want to go back to Azkaban—" Ivan pointed his wand at him, the threat obvious.
Sirius was silent, he understood what Ivan meant, and if he didn't agree, he would be handed over to the Aurors and reimprisoned in Azkaban.
The most important thing is that his Animagus has been exposed, and the Aurors will definitely prepare a special prison for him, or even directly execute him as a dangerous person!
"Good! How can you help me? Sirius's eyes flickered, and he compromised, he could tolerate anything to kill Peter, even if it was temporarily at the behest of a young wizard.
But if the other party can't give him any good ideas, then he won't play any wizard games with the other party, so he agrees for the time being, and then finds a chance to escape when he recovers his strength.
"Also, how did you know Peter was alive?" Sirius continued to ask.
Without replying, Ivan took out a blank piece of parchment from his pocket and showed it in front of Sirius.
"Live Point Map!" Sirius recognized it immediately, and there were many fewer doubts in his heart, and with the map of the living spots, it was normal for the little wizard in front of him to find Peter who had turned into a mouse.
Because if you look hard enough, you will be able to spot a mouse, and its name will be displayed on the map.
The only thing that puzzled Sirius was why Ivan would help him, the apparent Azkaban fugitive?
Could it be that he had already approached Peter and found something wrong?
It's not like the other party will take the soul and extract the relevant memories from Peter's brain, right?
Sirius couldn't figure it out, and was about to ask, but was interrupted by Ivan's words.
"The little wizard with the mouse in the photo is called Ron, Peter is his pet now, and he is in the same dormitory as me, I can easily catch Peter and bring him to you!"
"And Harry, you must be eager to see him, right? I can create a chance for you to meet, you can talk to him clearly, and even take care of him yourself when you are free!
I'm sure you've seen it before, Harry isn't having a good time right now... Even kicked out of the house! ”
Ivan's words were like a hammer hitting Sirius, each of which pointed to what his heart longed for the most, and he was moved.
But soon, Ivan's words changed and he continued.
"That only if you need to help me do something, or I'll let the mouse go and throw it somewhere you'll never find it!" Tell Harry that you betrayed his parents! ”
Sirius's face suddenly froze, and he took a deep look at Ivan, feeling that the little wizard in front of him was simply a devil!
"You've won!" Sirius sighed, completely abandoning the idea of escaping halfway. "What exactly do you need me to do? Help you deal with which senior student is bullying you? Or are your parents treating you badly and need me to beat them up? ”
Sirius thought about what a young wizard of Ivan's age might need to do, and then looked at Dobby, a house-elf, and he thought that Ivan might be the heir of some ancient pureblood, and it was very likely that he would run away from home because of a conflict with his family.
"Kill!" Ivan said expressionlessly.
"Are you sure?" Sirius's pupils shrank, and a chill ran behind him.
Although he has just escaped from Azkaban and can almost be said to be cornered, he still has his own bottom line.
Not killing innocents is one of the bottom lines!
What made him frown even more was why a thirteen or fourteen-year-old wizard would downplay murder so lightly.
