236. Snape offers a seat to eat melons
"It's alright, Minerva."
Seeing Peter fall into a groggy state, Snape turned his head to look at Professor McGonagall.
"I just wanted to ask why our hero Pettigrew was willing to be a mouse for 12 years."
"What are you suspecting?" Professor McGonagall asked, a little annoyed.
She really had a big opinion about Snape's approach.
Before she could erupt, Snape looked down at Peter again.
He asked him directly, "Tell me, Peter Pettigrew, tell me why you didn't die back then, and why you hid." ”
Professor McGonagall exclaimed, "I told ......"
At that moment, Peter spoke in a flurry tone.
"At that time, Sirius had cornered me with nowhere to run, and I was screaming so much that the whole street heard me."
"I said he betrayed Jaime and Lily."
Professor McGonagall was excited, "Listen, Peter has always been a good boy!" ”
Snape smiled disapprovingly.
Peter's words go on.
"Then, before he could do anything, I blew up the entire street with a wand hidden behind his back, killing everyone within twenty feet of him."
"Then I turned into a rat and fled into the gutter with the other rats......"
Professor McGonagall froze.
Her eyes widened and she stroked her heart with her hand.
And Peter's question has not yet been answered, and this time no one will bother him.
"I've been hiding from Voldemort's former supporters."
"They all thought I was dead, or I had to give them an explanation......"
"They thought I had lied to them, and the mysterious man got to Potter's house based on the information I provided, and then missed there."
"They think it's my fault that the mystery man failed."
"If they find out I'm alive, those people won't let me go."
At this time, the principal's office was silent, and the pins could be heard.
"No ......"
Professor McGonagall couldn't accept the result, and sat down in her chair with her mouth covered.
"The Potter family."
Snape's tone was very repetitive as he said this.
He took a deep breath and asked Peter again, "Why did you provide the information, and why did you betray them?" ”
"Yes, I became their secrecy, Lily and Jaime."
Peter replied in a calm tone.
"Sirius convinced Lily and Jaime to swap him for me at the last minute, convincing them to use me as a secrecy instead of him."
"Why?" Snape asked in a cold tone.
"He thinks I'm the inconspicuous one." Peter replied, "He's famous, and the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Lily and James' Secret Man is him, not me and Lupin." ”
"Pettigrew." Snape's voice grew colder and colder, "Tell me, why are you on the side of the mystery man?" ”
Peter said his truest thoughts in ignorance, "A year before that happened, the mysterious man found me, he threatened me, and I obeyed him and became his servant. ”
He muttered, "The Dark Lord is too powerful, what's the good of rejecting him?" ”
"I can't believe it!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed, "I can't believe it! “
She removed her square-rimmed glasses with a trembling hand and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe away tears.
"Dumbledore......" she looked at the Headmaster, "this thing is incredible, poor Sirius, he doesn't know what is going on......"
She seemed to be a little unable to speak, and for a moment she didn't know how to deal with Peter, a former student.
So she turned around and sat facing the other side, weeping silently.
By this time, Snape, who was closest to Peter, had already pulled out his wand.
"It turned out to be you."
He raised his wand to Peter.
"Let me come, let me end the life of this shameful traitor, right here!"
His tone was hurried, as if he couldn't wait.
At this point, Dumbledore finally spoke, "Wait, Severus! ”
But Snape waved his wand and began to recite the Curse of Death.
At the last moment, a red light flashed through and struck Snape's body.
Snape staggered, and his wand came out.
"Forgive me, Severus."
In desperation, Dumbledore raised his hand to catch Snape's wand.
"Albus!" Snape turned, his face gloomy and his expression fierce, "Do you want to shield this shameful traitor?" ”
Dumbledore sighed, "You know things aren't what you say. ”
"I know! Of course I do! ”
Snape walked back and forth hard, his shoes clattering on the floor.
"You want to get that Black murderer out of Azkaban, don't you?" He said viciously.
Dumbledore didn't deny it, "Don't say that, now that we all know that Sirius is innocent, then he shouldn't continue to be tortured in Azkaban." ”
"He deserves it!" Snape waved his arms excitedly, "That kind of villain!" Savage murderer! Egomania! You deserve to spend the rest of your life in Azkaban and the Dementors! ”
"You're too prejudiced against him." Dumbledore said helplessly.
"That's not called prejudice!"
Snape stepped forward and rudely snatched his wand from Dumbledore's hand.
"I've long seen through their essence!"
He was visibly out of breath, his huge nose panting.
"From the time they were in school, they never thought about other people's lives, so I wouldn't be surprised that they did anything later!"
Dumbledore sighed again, "Calm down, Severus. Sirius and Jaime were not very sensible when they were younger, but they later risked their lives to fight the mystery man. ”
"It's just that they like to be in the limelight!" Snape scoffed, "They want to be heroes from above, to be touted!" ”
"They're fighting to save most wizards!" Professor McGonagall suddenly stood up and retorted to Snape solemnly, "They saved a lot of people!" ”
Snape frowned, "Whatever you want......"
He smiled suddenly.
"I'm just glad I saw what happened to them, four people, it's not good!"
After he said this, he turned around with his head held high and walked towards the office door.
"Whatever you want, Dumbledore, I won't interfere anymore." He sneered and said, "But you should understand that it's not that easy to get the Ministry of Magic to overturn the case!" ”
He walked over to the door and glanced at Scott, who was taped to the wall next to the door.
Then he pushed open the door with one hand, grabbed Scott by the collar with the other, and dragged him outside.
Scott, who had eaten melons and eaten a lot just now, let him drag himself and walked out with his strength, without resistance at all.
He silently thanked Professor Snape for the melon-eating seat.
Although he can't continue to eat melons if he leaves now, Scott also feels that leaving here with the Potions Professor is the best option.
