Chapter 232: Peter's Thoughts

......

Peter needed someone to help him get rid of such a voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, he discovered his target, who were also Gryffindors, Sirius Black, Lupin, and James Porter, who were the strongest and best of the boys.

The small group of the three of them was always so eye-catching, and all the good qualities of Gryffindor seemed to be reflected in these three people, they were brave, senseless, and strong, and they didn't seem to lack anything.

This caused Peter Pettigrew to be distressed, and he wasn't sure if he would be able to join the better-looking group.

Maybe they need a sidekick.

Peter Pettigrew thinks so, and he also uses his own practical actions to carry out his ideas.

Thankfully, they happily accepted the cowardly imp.

This made Peter Pettigrew ecstatic, and he successfully joined Sirius Black's small group, and the group's excellence and honor seemed to beckon him.

Even though he was still as timid and cowardly as he had been, he at least had a positive presence at Hogwarts, rather than looking for his name among the most unsuccessful bunches as he had been.

Whenever someone talked about them, they would take him with them, even if it was only the four of them, but it also made him very excited, as if he had become very good, and his mother was also proud of him, which made his life at home better.

Although his status is still low, it also makes others very envious, for this, he can silently endure everything.

That's right, he can't be counted as a friend of these three people, he can only be counted as a follower at most, and he can only be a follower.

He was still so timid, cowardly, and humble, but all of this was perfectly concealed by the light of the three people, and even if he was not unbearable, it was all the business of the four of them.

That's right, it's four people, they are a group, even if he will never be able to come to the front of the stage, but he will always be remembered with those three people.

Even if Potter just saw him as an object to show off after a Quidditch match, sarcasm and ridicule were normal things, Sirius was too lazy to deal with him, Peter's presence just reflected those qualities of Sirius, brave and fearless, he and Sirius were always two extremes, and that damn werewolf Lupin, his lowly status did not stop Lupin's eyes, and even the damn werewolf became despised by him.

However, that doesn't stop Peter Pettigrew from believing in himself.

The ancient house of Gryffindor did not give Peter Pettigrew courage and determination, but that did not prevent Peter from obtaining these honors by other means, even if it was a small handout, which made Peter feel something satisfied.

Peter knew exactly who he was, he was just a sidekick, and he knew exactly what he had to do.

He was timid, incompetent, and obscure. His figure is forever hidden behind the three people, and he only needs to stand up and bow to the audience at the final curtain call.

It was a bit disgraceful, but it was enough, and even a small honor was enough to keep his mother from being so disappointed.

However, the good times are not long-lasting, just like the story in a novel, there will always be a storm after the dullness, or this storm is bred by the dullness.

The old school adhered to the philosophy of tolerant teaching, and the castle used his wealth of knowledge and body to produce some of the best and most terrifying students of all time.

The man came, the man called Voldemort.

The wizarding world of Britain was plunged into an unprecedented period of darkness, with the Death Eaters attacking all the wizards who rebelled against them and the man.

In their eyes, Muggles are the most humble creatures, and they kill with no regard for human nature and the constraints of the law.

They conquered the people of the Ministry of Magic, and they didn't even dare to resist, and no one wanted to take the initiative to die, except for this ancient castle.

The castle is a breeding ground for disaster, but it is also a new life.

Dumbledore stepped forward, just as he had opposed Grindelwald at the time, he had defeated the previous Dark Lord, and he was rightfully responsible.

Dumbledore formed the Order of the Phoenix, and they actively fought against Voldemort's Death Eaters.

At that time, the three partners wanted to participate in the formation of the Order of the Phoenix, they had already graduated, and they had the strength to do so.

However, Peter didn't think so, he didn't think that Dumbledore could succeed, Dumbledore was already old, and Voldemort could rule the British wizarding world so quickly, then he must have a lot of noble support, which was inseparable.

He was afraid of the Death Eaters, he was afraid of the Dark Lord's strength, he didn't like to let himself follow his father's path, a heroic Gryffindor, shouting slogans for all wizards, and then rushing away with all his might, waiting for him was a cold life-requiring spell.

This was something Peter could not accept, death was too terrible for him, and even though he was living a miserable life now, he could at least see the sun.

However, the three men did not seem to let him go, and he sent him an invitation to join the Order of the Phoenix, and he did not have the courage to refuse his companions, Neville at least knew how to rebel against his friends, but unfortunately, Peter was not Neville.

He wouldn't resist, he couldn't even learn to refuse, his long obedience made him have no right to decide, and he knew very well that his mother wanted him to join the Order of the Phoenix and participate in the confrontation with Voldemort.

Peter Pettigrew can't refuse his mother's expectations, like a burden that can't be unloaded, and as is customary, he will let his mother get his mother's wish.

Naturally, he joined the Order of the Phoenix with his companions.

Peter remembers the days when he first joined the Order of the Phoenix, a fool named Marlene McKinnon, who died under the curse of the Death Eaters just two weeks after the entire Order of the Phoenix was photographed.

There is also the man named Caladock Dearborn, who disappeared after the sixth month of the photoshoot, and it is unknown whether he was hidden or not, but Peter felt that his fate was the same as that of McKinnon, who fell under the spell of the Death Eaters and seemed to be the only home for the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Peter will never forget the Longbottoms, who were completely driven crazy by Bellatrix Lestrange, Rodolphus and Rabastan Lestrange, and Barty Crouch Jr. with the Diamond Curse.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix have been in accidents one after another, either dead or missing, and the Longbottoms seem to be better, but lying in St. Mungo's Hospital is no better than dying.

Peter Pettigrew's fear of Voldemort grew deeper over time.

However, his partners didn't think like him, they regarded every accident of the Order of the Phoenix as a responsibility, an encouragement, which made Sirius's anti-Voldemort more and more intense, they smashed Voldemort's plot again and again, they were excited about it, nothing could be better than that.

But Peter didn't think so.

He saw the situation of the Order of the Phoenix completely, there was a shortage of wizards, compared to the Death Eaters, it was undoubtedly difficult for a group of wizards who could and could only use white magic to defeat the Death Eaters who attacked with black magic unscrupulously, and besides, the number was not proportional to the number of Death Eaters.

Voldemort's back contains almost all of the aristocratic classes, who have more magical resources.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's ability to pose some real threat to Voldemort, the Order of the Phoenix would have been destroyed when it was first exposed to Voldemort's vision.

However, the situation at the time was not much better, and Dumbledore's existence only slightly delayed the demise of the Order of the Phoenix.

Peter didn't want to die, he just needed a little honor to put the shackles on him, but that didn't mean he was willing to die with a madman like Sirius Black.

However, things did not go as he had hoped, and the active Sirius and the others managed to attract the attention of the Dark Lord.

After several missions, it was basically an inexplicable luck to successfully escape, which made Peter feel very uneasy, and he wanted to hold his life firmly in his own hands and not anyone or anything.

He began to deliberately avoid his companions, he did not dare to go out with Sirius, and even when he left the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, he immediately turned into an inconspicuous mouse as soon as he left the door, he looked panicked, and his body even lost weight from this.

This kind of fearful life is really very difficult, and he has to arrange some way out for himself, so that he can survive in the event of Dumbledore's complete defeat.

Yes, Peter was going to change who he was to be loyal to.

Compared to the aging Dumbledore, the increasingly powerful Dark Lord was a wise decision.

Ever since he figured it out, Peter has been in contact with the Death Eaters, and of course, as a spy, he has stayed at ease in the Order of the Phoenix.

Peter began to take the initiative to accept the assignment, of course, no one in the Order of the Phoenix really looked up to him, and he was only assigned some unimportant things.

It was only when he was with Sirius and the others that Peter could really touch some of the secrets of the Order of the Phoenix, but damn Sirius, his luck had always been good, and he was able to escape danger every time, which made the Dark Lord very dissatisfied, and Peter's situation became worse and worse.

The Dark Lord seemed to become impatient, and Peter knew that the Dark Lord had been given a prophecy ball about himself, which pointed all the fingers at the Potters.

Potter and Lily's son, Harry Potter, to be exact.

The prophecy said that this little guy would cause the Dark Lord a lot of trouble.

This prophecy made the Dark Lord angry, and the Dark Lord seemed to go crazy and wanted to find and kill the Potter family.

However, Dumbledore also seemed to have received this message, and they hid the Potters, and no one knew where the Potters were hiding.

However, there are people who are exceptional, such as himself.

When Sirius approached Peter, Peter was going crazy with joy.

Peter remembered that Sirius had brought himself to the Potters, and every pore of his had opened with excitement, and it was an opportunity for Peter to look forward to the terrifying and great being standing in front of him at this moment.

Look what he discovered, the boy of prophecy.

But Peter had to hold back, he couldn't be too eager, or he would definitely be suspicious of Dumbledore.

In fact, Dumbledore had already begun to suspect the members of the Order of the Phoenix when he was constantly in trouble, which made him feel terrified for a while, and the person who could stand up to the Dark Lord would certainly not be a simple person.

However, Sirius and the others perfectly blocked all doubts for him, even if they were not sure at all, but habit made several people maintain Peter's maintenance.

After all, Peter really should be grateful to Sirius, otherwise he wouldn't have survived until now.

Sirius came to him as the Potters' secret because Peter Pettigrew was timid, cowardly, and humble.

Compared to the heroic Sirius, Peter was indeed so, Sirius's presence was so strong that it was like a giant body of light that attracted the attention of all the Death Eaters, including him.

............

Well, anyway, this is not the time for Peter to be angry here.

He nodded as always, not daring to disobey Sirius's words at all.

As long as he became a secret, he seemed to have foreseen the time when he would dedicate the news of the Potter family to the great Dark Lord.

At that time, all the honors, all the rights seem to have become his own bag, he will gain the trust of the Dark Lord one hundred percent, and the peak of his life will almost come.

......

Sirius did not disappoint him, carrying Dumbledore behind his back and successfully convincing the Potters that he became the secret keeper of the Potters' hermitage.

The news almost burst into his brain.

His patience paid off for the unexpected, stupid Sirius, damned Dumbledore, humble Lupin, and the disgusting James Potter.

None of this seemed to matter so much, as long as they were killed, who would blame a successful man, and those who used to be so-called mockery and sarcasm would be wiped out by the Dark Lord's great problem curse.

That's right, it's all gone, Peter wants them all to die, he's fed up with these guys who are calling at him, this is the great revival of Peter Pediru, no one can stop him from succeeding, even if it's a little vile, but everything seems so equal compared to the harm they have done to themselves.

That very night, Peter Pedirus, a glorious Death Eater, fell to his knees before their god.

That's right, Voldemort is a god to him, and he can give him everything he wants, power, status, honor, and strength.

Voldemort also promised him that if his news was true, he would unfold to him the mystery of the castle where the great Lord Voldemort had gained his rise capital, his knowledge of magic, and his magical powers.

Peter had fantasized about gaining this power, even if he couldn't reach the level of the Dark Lord, but even half of it, much better than Sirius's men.

Peter's ambition is not so great, if he has too much strength, then he will definitely kill Pettigrew, which Voldemort knows very well.

However, these are things that come after success, and his god also told him that if the news is false, then there is only one way that awaits him...... That's death!

Peter fell to his knees trembling, but his tone was very firm, and no one knew the location of the Potters better than him, not even Dumbledore.

Peter was so confident in his news that his trembling stemmed from the desire and pursuit of his ambitions.

This also seems to have infected his God.

The Dark Lord chose to trust Peter, and he even smiled and patted Peter on the shoulder, although Voldemort's smile was terrifying, like a poisonous snake, but this did not frighten Peter.

Of course, he didn't skimp, he gave Peter Pettigrew some ability boosts in advance, which would be more than enough for those Aurors if Peter really knew how to use them.

On the same night that he received the news, Lord Voldemort left for the Potter family's retreat.

The good world seemed to beckon Peter Pettigrew, and the Dark Lord eliminated his old enemy, and then, of course, destroyed the Order of the Phoenix entirely, so that he could even come and go in Hogwarts or the Ministry of Magic, which was his dream and his mother's expectation.

But Peter Pettigrew never dreamed that the Dark Lord would fail, his strength was so strong that the Dark Lord didn't even need to use his wand to kill him, he seemed to be able to kill it with a flick of his finger.

But this is such a god in Peter's mind, he was defeated by a little boy, and at the same time lost his proud strength, even though the Dark Lord had killed the Potters, but the boy survived.

The Dark Lord failed so unexpectedly, and the Death Eaters, who had lost their leader, would never again make such a strong noise.

Their fate was very miserable, and the day after the Dark Lord's defeat, the Ministry of Magic cooperated with Dumbledore to launch a purge of the British wizarding community.

Thankfully, though, they took aim at Sirius instead of him for betraying the Potters!
