"Oh Peter, don't mention that name."

Professor McGonagall said sadly.

"Who would have thought that something like that would happen...... I always remember a few of you, the most troublesome student Gryffindor has ever had......"

She was a little rambling, but stopped when it came to the point.

Scott heard the Weasley twins muttering quietly.

They were surprised that they didn't win the title of "Gryffindor's most troublesome student ever".

"Poor Peter." Professor McGonagall couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes, "You're old, and you're still that timid......"

As she spoke, she looked at Peter with some dissatisfaction.

"Either way, you should trust us, at least Dumbledore, he can protect you."

Peter glanced at Dumbledore with his little eyes.

"Yes...... Oh, yes. He said with some flattery, "Professor Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of all." ”

Professor McGonagall sobbed softly, "Peter, it's weird that you've been hiding in the Weasley house for 12 years as a rat, and you can't just give it a quick answer. ”

"I ...... I didn't think about it that much, I was just frightened, the henchmen of the mysterious people were not wiped out, no...... Isn't it? Peter stammered.

He was hunched and looked like a little hunchbacked old man who was submissive.

"You know, Professor, the people who claim to have fallen under the Imperius Curse, they have cunningly escaped punishment, but the family has lost a lot...... They hate me ......"

He rubbed his hands habitually again, and his pointed nose shrugged one after another.

"I ...... I'm afraid they'll come to me for trouble, so let them think I'm dead, that's the safest thing, I ......"

He looked back at the four Weasley brothers.

"I'm sorry, Ron, and Percy...... I'm hiding in the Weasley house, yes...... I want to hear some news from the wizarding world at any time. ”

His pitiful little round eyes made Percy and Ron retching louder.

Even Fred and George looked away with some disgust.

Peter smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, I'm just trying to make sure I'm safe." ”

He was getting more and more fluent.

Scott watched Peter's play quietly.

I have to say, this mouse is quite capable of making up.

In the haste of being captured by Professor McGonagall, he had already figured out what to do.

Wrong......

It may also be the "standard answer" that it has preset countless times over the past 12 years.

Scott looked at Dumbledore.

The old headmaster had not spoken a word just now.

Behind the half-moon glasses, his blue eyes had been quietly watching Peter's performance.

"Peter."

He finally spoke, his voice fluttering.

"Professor Dumbledore."

Peter's somewhat fat body curled up and trembled in response.

It is worth noting that he kept his head down humbly at all times, not making eye contact with Dumbledore.

"Thank you, Peter." Dumbledore sighed, "But, in people's hearts, you are a hero, you shouldn't be a rat and hide, 12 years is too long......"

"Professor Dumbledore."

Peter kept his head down, his dirty, fat hands wiping away tears.

"I'm sorry, Professor, but I'm ...... I'm just an insignificant little person, ...... I was so scared that I lost all my courage in that explosion......"

He began to weep.

"Oh Merlin...... I can't believe it...... He...... He used to be my best friend, and that has been the case since I was in school, and I'm really not a good Gryffindor......"

Peter's words of self-pity worked, and at least Professor McGonagall's eyes softened as she looked at him.

But Dumbledore's expression was always intriguing, and Scott noticed that his eyes had become a little brighter.

Scott blinked silently.

It seemed to him that Dumbledore was already suspicious of Peter.

The perceptive old headmaster did not believe Peter's words as preconceived in the way Professor McGonagall did.

Scott could sense that Dumbledore had even slightly used the Soul Retriever.

But alas, judging by his expression, he doesn't seem to have gained much.

Peter Pettigrew has either hidden his secrets in the depths of his brain, or he already has a brain occlusion on the same level as Snape.

Like he said, Peter is a hero in people's hearts.

Even Dumbledore, he couldn't use illegal means against him just because of the slightest suspicion.

For example, truth elixir and the like.

And Scott has been sensing Peter's magic, he doesn't know if Dumbledore can sense it too, but......

In his perception, Peter's magic fluctuated wonderfully.

Probably for a long decade or so, Peter has been practicing these words spoken today, and when he lies, the magic fluctuations are calm.

But that's exactly what happened to be his flaw.

Most of the time, Peter's magic fluctuates like a parabola.

Because he's like a real, startled mouse.

But when he spoke of the lies he had carefully prepared, even though on the surface he was in a tone and eloquent, his magic fluctuations were calm.

Maybe it's because he's been rehearsing too many times and he's gone numb.

Scott lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then looked up at Dumbledore again.

The old headmaster was silent on the surface, only tapping his fingers on the table with a slight movement, indicating that he might also find this matter a little tricky.

Professor McGonagall looked at her former student and said in a trembling voice, "What shall I say about you, Peter?" Your mother received your body with only one finger, and she quickly broke down, but you ......"

She obviously has some hatred for iron not being made of steel.

"Only you know you're alive, but you've become a rat and hidden, and you didn't show up when your mother died!"

Peter shuddered, and a series of whimpering sounds.

"Alright, Minerva."

Dumbledore shook his head.

"Maybe we should be a little happier." He said with some meaning, "Our hero is coming back." ”

"Heroes?" Professor McGonagall sighed, her eyes softening again, "This kid...... Perhaps it was the most courageous moment of his life. ”

Scott was sure that the two men were probably not talking about the same person.

It was only now that he was sure that Dumbledore had sensed that Peter was lying.

Just now, he seemed to have figured out the ins and outs.

Maybe he has the same level of magical perception as Scott, or maybe he has other unknown means.

Anyway, it doesn't seem like Scott needs to talk about it.

In this case, he couldn't be happier.

Of course, he was interested in what Dumbledore would do next.

The difficulty was not only how to break Peter Pettigrew's lies, but also how to get the Ministry of Magic involved and do what Dumbledore wanted.

They need to take back Peter's Merlin Medal and revise the outcome of Sirius Black's trial that year.
