Chapter 424: Even the Dark Lord is not as cruel as you

Peter Pettigrew's words plunged Harry and the others into a fog again, and what was originally completely certain seemed to become uncertain again.

"It seems that you have only this little bit of slander left for you! Why don't you first explain why you hide disguised as a rat for more than ten years? Sirius sneered.

"It's Lupin, Lupin has been chasing me! I had to hide... Must hide! Peter Pettigrew shouted like crazy.

"Professor Lupin?" Harry and the others said in amazement.

"Yes, that's right, it's Lupin... He's actually a werewolf! It wasn't just Blake and Lupin who betrayed Jaime in the first place! ”

Peter Pettigrew broke the startling news again, and the more he spoke, the more he continued, tearfully speaking.

"Do you know why Lupin has been so poor all these years? He always suspected that I was still alive, so he was ready to kill me, and even gave up his job for it, preferring to starve!

Lupin has been searching the world for my tracks all over the world for the past few years, because I am the only one who knows their evil faces... He must have known that I was here when he came to Hogwarts this year as a professor..."

Peter Pettigrew, who was crying like a tearful man, looked at Harry and spoke.

"And I want to stay by your side and protect you, Harry! You can't imagine how happy I was when I first met you at Hogwarts. ”

Ivan's face became very strange when he knew the truth, he knew that Peter Pettigrew was very cunning, but he never expected this guy to be so good at making it up.

Fortunately, he was more cautious and did not expose Peter's identity in public, otherwise, if nothing else, the identity of Lupin's werewolf would have been revealed...

"How dare you... Peter, you filthy bedbug, it's not enough for you to slander me, and you plan to implicate Lupin? Sirius angrily grabbed Peter by the collar and punched him in the nose.

Peter screamed in pain, the bridge of his nose was crooked, nosebleeds and snot were mixed together, and all kinds of red and white gushed out of his nose.

Sirius didn't stop, and threw another punch, and Peter screamed like crazy.

"Help, he wants to kill me so no one knows the truth! Stop him..."

Harry and the others, who were watching from the sidelines, were a little overwhelmed, and Ivan was a little worried that Peter would be killed directly, so he had to say something to consol him.

At that moment, the door of the screaming shack was suddenly opened, and a voice followed.

"Peter... I didn't expect you to say this about me behind my back, your ability to make up stories is much higher than before! ”

Everyone turned to look at Lupin, dressed in a patched robe, walking through the door, his face a sickly pale face and a wand clutched in his hand.

Sirius wasn't surprised to see Lupin, because he had invited him, but he keenly noticed that something was wrong with Lupin's state.

"What's wrong with you, Lupin? You okay? Sirius tossed Peter, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and asked with a brow, puzzled.

"I'm just taking wolf poison potion, and I'm in a bad state these days!" Lupin shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Ivan interrupted their words at this point, speaking emphatically. "The genuine wolf venom potion doesn't have this debilitating effect, you may have been cheated by Snape..."

"Perhaps! After all, he hasn't liked me very much, so it's good that it works..."Lupin said with a wry smile.

He had to transform once a month, and the potion Snape gave him, although it would make him weak with side effects, but at least it could suppress the ferocity of the transformation, which was enough for him.

You must know that the price of genuine wolf poison potion is not cheap, he has just become a professor, he does not have much money, and he has developed the habit of saving money after many years of wandering life.

Then, Lupin turned to look at Harry and the others, and said apologetically. "I'm sorry to hide it from you for so long, I was worried that my werewolf identity would cause some panic, so I chose to keep it a secret."

Peter Pettigrew turned his face with excitement, ignoring the pain, and he pointed at Lupin and spoke loudly. "Did you see it, he confessed, he admitted that he was a werewolf!"

"Even if Professor Lupin is a werewolf, that doesn't prove anything, there are good people and bad people in any race, and the idea that werewolves are evil is just the prejudice of many wizards, I believe Professor Lupin is a good person!"

Hermione interrupted Peter's words and spoke to Harry and the others.

"Yes, Harry, Ron!"

"That's right, Lupin is the best Defence Against the Dark Arts professor I've ever met!"

Harry remembered that Lupin had taught the course with dedication during this time, and that he usually cared about himself, so he quickly made his choice.

After all, his best friend and most trusted professor have come forward to tell him that Sirius is innocent and that Peter is the real culprit who betrayed his parents!

As a result, the balance in Harry's mind that had been wavering was now completely tilted in favor of Sirius.

Ron also nodded dumbly, he looked at Peter in a daze, still a little bit not quite believing that his beloved mouse would turn into a bald old man...

The excitement on Peter Pettigrew's face froze, and despair gradually spread in his heart as he watched the people present turn against each other one by one.

Peter struggled to climb to Ivan's feet, grabbed Ivan's thigh, and asked aloud with the last shred of expectation.

"Hals! You're so smart, you're going to believe me, right? ”

"Save it, Peter... Why do you do this every time, there is nothing new, but the story you make up is getting better and better! Ivan complained helplessly, and kicked Peter Pettigrew to the side.

After thinking about it, Ivan waved his wand and conjured a rope to bind him tightly, adding a weaker magic.

Although Peter didn't have a wand in his hand, it was better to guard against it, after all, there were still Harry, Hermione, and Ron and other little wizards, and it would be difficult for Peter to hijack them if he suddenly attacked.

Peter Pettigrew, who had fallen to the corner, fell into a deeper despair after hearing Ivan's words, and the pain in his body could not hide the chill that rushed from the soles of his feet...

He is not stupid, combined with his intermittent memories in the past few days, he quickly thought of something amazing, and suddenly gasped, no wonder he always felt that there was something he couldn't remember these days...

Peter looked at Ivan again, trembling as if he were looking at a demon, and he felt that even the Dark Lord could not be so cruel...
