Chapter 113: I'm Sober (Third Update~Asking for Subscription~)
Short, tiny.
But clinging to the flesh, it can't escape Harry's perception.
"Sure enough, it's always you." Harry laughed, but his gaze was cold, and he turned to look at Lupin, "Professor, turn him back into a human." ”
Lupin stretched out his wand and aimed it at him.
A burst of blue light erupted, wrapped around the mouse, and a burst of brilliant light immediately burst out of its body, twisting, expanding, and with a "pop", the human head emerged from the tiny torso, followed by the limbs, and finally the body.
He was short, worse than Harry now.
Very Britannica's hairstyle, hair as thin as Ron's purse, and several patches of bald patches, with loose, crumpled skin, covered in dirt - some of the latest and some of the years of accumulation.
The nose is very pointed, and the cone-shaped ornament that is forcefully inserted into it rests on the bridge of the nose, and a pair of hazel eyes are swirling.
Thirteen years of pet life has made his whole person almost assimilate into a mouse.
Hunched over his back, his hands folded in front of his chest.
Cowering, thief-eyed.
"Hi Remus, my dearest friend, long time no see." Peter shrunk his head, his voice sharp, feigning a false enthusiasm that didn't need to be distinguished, "And Harry!" ”
"My best friend's child, I've been watching you grow up all these years, and you're excellent, even better than your father and mother."
Harry looked at him.
Nausea inside.
"Peter." Lupin opened his mouth, looked at him coldly, and was wary of not putting down his wand, "Long time no see, I didn't expect you to be so ...... for so many years"
Peter opened his mouth in a panic to defend himself: "I was just scared, I knew he would definitely come back to me!" Just like now! ”
"Did you know Sirius was going to escape from Azkaban?" Lupin questioned him.
Peter said anxiously, almost biting his tongue: "Of course, he will Animagus, and so will I, of course I know he can." ”
"And he's black...... It's the lackey of the mysterious man, who may have taught him a few powerful spells. ”
Lupin opened his mouth, ready to continue.
Harry interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Professor, there's no need to waste so much time. ”
Lupin was stunned.
"Yaksi!"
Harry bears the seal.
"Who was the person who gave the address of Potter's mansion to Voldemort?" Harry's voice was quick, and he asked the most crucial question.
Peter was confused, his eyes were straight, and he even subconsciously bit his tail like a mouse: "It's me." ”
Lupin's eyes widened, and his wand clenched.
"When did you start being Voldemort's lackey?" Peter's brain also seems to have been assimilated into a mouse, and he has been under the influence of the French seal longer than Malfoy, Harry continued.
Peter confessed honestly: "One year after graduation. ”
"A year?" Lupin raised his voice, "You've been a lackey of the mystery man for a year?" ”
Peter's voice was numb: "Jaime and Sirius have always looked down on me. ”
"When did they ever consider me a friend?"
Lupin's face was a little unnatural, and he turned his head aside.
Harry noticed.
Peter came back to his senses, regained his senses from the influence of the Aksiphaseal, and looked at Harry in horror, "You... What have you done to me? ”
"Asked some questions that I care about." Harry's face was expressionless, and the amulet under his clothes vibrated violently, "Something I want to know." ”
Peter looked at Lupin, his tone was full of bewilderment, just trembling and stammering, not very confident: "Remus, my dear Remus, we are the same, aren't we?" ”
"Potter and Black have always looked down on us!"
"You're a werewolf, you're a werewolf!"
As he said this, he glanced at Harry several times.
"They have always distrusted you because of your status, and they have excluded you from the selection of a secret person in the first place, and they have not even let you live in the old Potter mansion for long."
Lupin glared at him in disgust, but didn't speak, his wand aimed at him, and took two steps back.
Peter took a deep breath.
Knowing he couldn't convince Lupin, he lunged at Harry.
Subconsciously, really just subconsciously.
Harry turned sideways and stomped on Peter's back again, holding him down.
"Harry, Harry!" Ignoring the pain, Peter struggled, "I'm your dad's friend, and your best friend Ron's pet. ”
"I'm just confused."
"I really didn't, I didn't want to, and I didn't hurt you."
"Look at me, I haven't hurt anyone in the Weasley family for thirteen years, even if the Dark Lord, I mean, the mysterious man broke into Hogwarts last year, and I didn't come to help him!"
"Really, it's all true, Harry, and your dad will forgive me."
Harry's face was expressionless, and the force on his feet made Peter wail in pain.
"Yes, you have been very well-behaved in the past thirteen years, and you have not hurt anyone else." Harry spoke softly.
Peter cried out in pain, as if grasping a glimmer of hope.
Harry pulled the amulet out, and it vibrated violently like a motor, "But you still have ill will towards me, but you don't dare to show it blatantly." ”
Peter held his breath, and the vibrations of the amulet began to slow down, but not completely.
"I can't even hide my malice now." Harry sneered, "Peter, do you think that after thirteen years of incognito, you can write off the mistakes you have made?" ”
"You haven't hurt anyone right now."
"What does it have to do with the fact that you killed my parents thirteen years ago?"
Peter was still struggling: "Jaime he must, he must forgive me." ”
"So what?" Harry stepped on him, his tone cold, "He's him, I'm me." ”
"He may be confused, and he will forgive you."
"But I'm very sober now."
He let go of his foot and waved his wand, and Peter flew up, a mouse face across his eyes, and Harry reached out and pinched Peter's cheeks and opened his mouth.
The other hand reached into the Sorting Hat, pulled out a bottle of potion, and poured it into his mouth stiffly.
"No, Harry, not yet!" Lupin took a slow step and grabbed Harry's arm, but he didn't expect a thirteen-year-old wizard to have so much strength, but he was dragged to his feet.
"It's not poison, it's water of life and death." Harry threw Peter to the ground.
The mouse twitched, struggled a few times, and fell asleep.
Lupin sniffed at him, still healthy, and let him breathe a sigh of relief.
"I knew I had to keep him and get rid of Sirius Black." Harry tucked the bottle back into the Sorting Hat, his tone and face looking a little depressed.
Lupin patted him on the shoulder: "It's all over, Harry, at least everything is ......"
Harry shook his head, "Don't comfort me. ”
"I'm just thinking about one thing."
Lupin listened patiently, he didn't have a lot of experience with comforting, but he knew that it was best to be a listener in times like these.
"Sirius is really that brainless?" Harry sighed, "Would you rather squat in Azkaban for thirteen years than open your mouth and speak your words?" ”
Lupin was stunned.
He was a little dumbfounded, and his raised hand froze in mid-air, bewildered.
This kind of atmosphere, this situation, and emotions have all been paved here, and I am thinking about this kind of thing in my head.
"Sirius, he does, well... You know. Lupin stammered, and could only throw out one sentence.
"I'm really worried." Harry spoke, though there was no worry on his face, "Sirius's head is empty, and the trolls are probably smarter than him. ”
"Peter is stupid, too."
"Your performance today is also a little ......"
Lupin gritted his teeth, "That's your problem, Harry!" Without saying a word, the ultimate fluorescent spell, what wizard would come up with such a solution! ”
Harry was right: "In the dark, bright light is the biggest harm, and that's a truth that three-year-olds understand. ”
Lupin was weak and waved his hand, "I thought you would use a Transfiguration Charm or a Petrification Charm." ”
"So I'm worried if all four of you are stupid." Harry frowned.
Lupin clenched his fists: "I'm not Sirius, I'm just a little out of your train of thought." ”
"As for Jaime......"
"Jaime he, um... It's just that sometimes he is reckless and arrogant, but he is still a smart man at heart. ”
Harry nodded suddenly, "I see." He waved his wand, and Peter floated.
Lupin was stunned for a moment, and kept up, he felt that Harry's "understood" and his expression might not mean the same thing.
"Are you going to give him to Dumbledore?" Lupin stopped talking, and finally didn't continue the previous topic, "If he helps......"
Harry shook his head decisively, "No, you can't give it to Dumbledore. ”
Lupin was stunned.
"Dumbledore can be relied upon when it matters." Harry explained, "But his brain was stuffed into Fudge, and it would be very cheap to give Peter to him." ”
"In the end, I'll just end up in Azkaban?"
"I remember that wizards don't have the death penalty."
Lupin nodded heavily.
The "death penalty", as the most brutal means of execution, is not inflicted on human wizards, only they... Humanoids, wizards classified as "magical creatures", will receive this punishment.
No matter how despicable Peter was, no matter how heinous he was.
He's still a human.
The Ministry of Magic will not give him the death penalty.
"It's imperative that we find that brainless Sirius." Harry led the way, his tone calm.
Lupin reminded him, "Sirius is your godfather. ”
"Then find my brainless godfather." Harry was so good that he immediately changed his tune.
Lupin was silent.
He suggested this because he wanted Harry to change the prefix, which seemed to be ineffective.
When he reached the entrance of the secret passage, Harry stopped and threw Peter to the ground, "Professor, are you locking him up?" ”
Lupin responded, and with a wave of his wand, he conjured a rope to tie it tightly, and conjured a sack to store him.
It's going to get out.
Harry's tone became sincere, and he called out to him, "Professor Lupin." ”
Lupin turned his head, a little puzzled: "Huh? ”
"I apologize to you on behalf of my dad." Harry said softly, "Time has proven his suspicions wrong, and you are a very reliable friend." ”
"He failed you."
Lupin's eyes and nose were sour, he blinked heavily, raised his head, walked over and patted Harry on the shoulder, "Don't say that, it's a special time, I can understand Jaime." ”
"My identity is indeed ......"
"He was able to trust me when he was a student, and he tried Animagus and was willing to spend those years with me, and he was already very good."
