Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Chapter 129 The mouse enters the urn

"Remus, I'm glad you can find me, you know, I've been busy these days, busy going to various places to speak, and Harry specially invited me to come to the game to have time to come here, Now we finally have a chance to have a good chat. [Full text read]" Peter Pettigrew knocked lightly on the door of Lupin's office a few times, then found that the door was ajar, so he pushed straight in, It was found that Lupin was sitting in front of the shabby wooden table top that had been used for many years, looking at him with a tired face.

"My friend, you are still so poor." Peter Pettigrew said with some pity. He kept looking at everything in front of him. This was the first time he had come to Lupin's office. On his left was a The dusty bookshelf was automatically cleaned by a dark cyan brush, but the more it was swept, the dirtier it became. There was a gray-black trash can beside his right foot. Peter Pettigrew swept it out of the corner of his eye and saw that it was full of dust. Drug dregs, Peter Pettigrew picked up a quill on the desk at random, and began to play with it, looking at it all with his rapidly improving taste in the past few days.

Shabby, poor, and without a future.

"You could have gotten a better job," Peter Pettigrew said.

Humans are a very complex animal, and this is particularly prominent in Peter Pettigrew. He is now famous and has a halo. He has seen the world that he could never imagine before, and he is treated with courtesy wherever he goes. Become a hero in the eyes of everyone.

The adoring eyes of others made him flutter and expand infinitely. Now he is like a child who got a novelty toy, eager to show off to his old friends.

"Come and beg me, now that I'm so famous, I can help you, Lupin, as long as I say hello to the Ministry of Magic, your problems will be solved." Peter Pettigrew roared so frantically in his heart, he He desperately needed the recognition of his former friend, how he wished to see a trace of envy and even jealousy in Lupin's eyes, just like him, a follower who followed the three of them step by step.

They will never understand the inner feelings of a follower.

People with weak hearts often rely on the approval of others to numb themselves. .

"I'm fine, Peter. The profession of a teacher is very suitable for me. I'm very satisfied to see the students' eyes full of curiosity." Lupin said calmly, as if he didn't even notice that there was something in Peter Pettigrew's tone. of superiority.

"Oh, well, you're still so stubborn." The disappointment in Peter Pettigrew's tone flashed past. "So what did you have to do with me today?" Peter Pettigrew asked later, and he didn't know why Lupin had suddenly found him.

"It's just a reminiscence between normal old friends." Lupin waved his hand and said, trying to squeeze a smile on his pale face that was too old, and picked up his wand on the desk without a trace.

With a "crunch", the door that was hidden was suddenly closed, making a dull sound, maybe it was brought by the wind outside.

"We haven't seen each other for twelve years, but everything seems to have happened yesterday." Lupin looked up at the kerosene lamp hanging on the ceiling, and said with emotion. "I thought you were dead, but it really gave me a surprise that night, and you are so close to me, you are the pet of my students and students."

"Justice will be late, but it will never return to absence." Petty Star Yi patted his chest and said straightly, this is a sentence that Malfoy taught him, so that he can use it when he speaks, whenever he says this sentence At times, the audience under the stage would always look at him with tears in their eyes and be instigated by him.

But Peter Pettigrew won't know, in fact, this sentence is aimed at him, and only when he is brought to justice can this sentence really come true.

"I've always thought so." Lupin nodded and replied in a weak voice, "Evil can never overcome righteousness, and Voldemort is to blame for his own demise."

Hearing the name of his former master so directly, Peter's squat body trembled, and he almost stumbled and fell.

At this time, the sound of Gada Gada kept coming from the bookshelf beside Peter.

"Remus, it's time for your bookshelf to be replaced. Look, it's been shaking all the time. I don't even doubt that it will fall down in the next moment. Do you want me to give you one? This is a friendship between old friends. Emotional gift." Peter Pettigrew is now holding his chin with his thick palm, his small eyes narrowed, looking carefully at the unsteady bookshelf, trying to hide that he heard someone's name just now tension afterwards.

The shaking of the bookshelf became more and more violent, and the books inside seemed to jump out at any time and hit Peter Pettigrew on the head.

"Look, it's really going to fall! Remus!" Peter Pettigrew said in a panic, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart. He always felt that there was something hostile to him hidden behind this bookshelf. Come out and deal with him anytime.

Lupin ignored Peter Pettigrew's words, didn't even look at the crumbling bookshelf, but shook his head lightly and said, "But what I have heard from other people is the same as what you said those days, and later The speech is completely different.”

The ominous feeling in his heart rose more and more, and his premonition of danger was always accurate. Peter Pettigrew alertly drew his wand from behind and aimed it at the bookshelf. It was a wand that Ollivander had specially tailored for him. —It was chestnut and dragon nerves, nine and a quarter inches long, with a crisp texture that suited him well.

The halo that his heroic deeds brought him even allowed the best wand maker in the world to make an exception for him. Thinking of this, Peter's hand holding the wand unconsciously became stronger.

"Except your weapons!" A figure suddenly appeared behind the shaking bookshelf, raised his wand and cast a spell on Peter Pettigrew, the scarlet light shot out from the wand without hesitation, Peter Pettigrew Even if he had the heart of defense, he still could not resist this lightning-fast disarming spell.

The wand was thrown high into the air by the spell, and then returned to the figure's hand.

Peter Pettigrew was knocked back many steps by the strong impact, and he fixed his eyes on it with his small eyes, and with just one glance, the chill went straight to his forehead from the soles of his feet.

Sirius Black!

Peter Pettigrew looked at the man in front of him in horror. This was a man he never imagined would appear here. He was tall, with wild eyes, and a mess of dirty, tangled hair that hung down to his elbows; If the eyes in the deep, dark sockets didn't glow, he could be a corpse; the waxy skin clinging to the skeleton of his face looked like a skull. He bared his yellow teeth and grinned, but in fact, in Peter Pettigrew's memory, this person should now be in an iron cage in the form of a dog, looking at him helplessly.

"Lupin! What do you mean! Are you with him? Did you forget? This is the man who killed James and Lily, and almost killed me" Peter Pettigrew looked at Lu in a panic Ping screamed, and in horror, the address was changed from a close first name to a last name.

"I really hate that I didn't kill you at that time." Sirius Black stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, something flickering in his dark eyes, like a hunting dog that had found a target and was ready to kill its prey.

"Calm down, Sirius," Lupin said, soothing Sirius Black.

"I'm just curious, I heard something very different from Blake's mouth." Lupin stood up slowly, staring at Peter Pettigrew.

"One of you must be lying." Lupin walked between the two, looked around, and said slowly.

"Remus, my old friend, when will you be seduced by the dark wizard's rhetoric? I remember you used to be the most honest and sensible classmate, hurry, let's subdue him, we have two people now, this traitor I can't escape." Peter Pettigrew's body was trembling, his small eyes couldn't stop twirling in his sockets, and his head was frantically thinking about how to solve the current situation.

Since Lupin is acting like this, it means that he must have doubts about himself, but it doesn't make sense at all.

Peter Pettigrew became more and more perplexed. How could Lupin be in the mood to listen to Blake's explanation? Even though he had a gentle temperament, he was treating friends. Once the two met, Lupin would definitely take action to subdue the traitor Sirius in his eyes. Or the latter would subdue Lupin. If it was the latter, Peter Pettigrew didn't think that Sirius' empty words could make Lupin give him so much trust, and even persuade Lupin to set himself up.

You must know that now the publicity target of the outside world is him, and Peter Pettigrew is the hero who avenged his friend and almost died!

Lupin couldn't have trusted Sirius Black so much for his few words.

While Peter Pettigrew was still pondering what made Sirius Black convince Lupin, Lupin spoke up.

"Beautiful talk? Peter, if you can talk flattery to me after drinking Veritaserum, then I trust what you say too."

Lupin said in a hoarse voice, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Veritaserum?" It was as if a sturdy and powerful hand suddenly grabbed his heart. Peter Pettigrew felt that his whole body's blood began to flow back, and the factor of fear penetrated into every inch of his bones.

A name popped into his brain!

Draco Malfoy!

Why did Sirius get out of the cage? He was clearly locked in Malfoy's cage, so where did he get the Veritaserum? In Peter's memory, this potion only appeared in Malfoy's hands once.

"I'll give you one last warning, Peter, if you continue to perfunctory me like this, you'll have good fruit to eat." Peter suddenly thought of the warning Malfoy gave him after the last time he met with Malfoy. The boy with short blond hair had indifferent eyes and a chilling voice.

But he didn't take it seriously at that time?

Another scene came to his mind.

"Peter Pettigrew, what are you going to do with this black dog?" This sentence suddenly appeared in Peter Pettigrew's mind. It was earlier, when Malfoy explained to him the last question after the plan was completed. .

"My suggestion is to kill, then it will be done once and for all, and we are the only two people in the world who know this secret." Malfoy bewitched him with a diabolical smile. "That way you'll have nothing to worry about," he said, and Peter Pettigrew's heart began to chill.

Human nature is complicated. Under the circumstance that he was already safe, Peter Pettigrew was moved with pity. He looked at the thin black dog and had an unbearable emotion.

"Let me think about it." Peter Pettigrew said timidly and stammered, his eyes full of struggle and hesitation. A person like him can only explode his strength when he is in a desperate situation. He dares to attack anyone for his own life. It was impossible to make such a cruel decision.

He could tell Voldemort and indirectly kill James, who saw him as his brother, but he could never kill him himself.

The same goes for Sirius.

At this time, he remembered how good Sirius had been to him, and chose to let it go.

So, is this situation caused by yourself? His momentary reluctance gave Sirius Black an opportunity to escape from the cage, and even persuaded Lupin to set a trap for him.

Peter Pettigrew was extremely regretful in his heart. He wanted to go back to that time and make himself more decisive and cruel, so that what happened today would not happen.

Of course, he wouldn't know, it was a deliberate test that Malfoy gave him, just to see if his personality was cosy enough, not cruel enough, if he could control himself, if he had chosen the latter, said It may have no value for use, and it has now been reported and is staying in Azkaban.

"Peter, you still have a chance to win my trust, and that is to drink this bottle of potion and answer my question." Lupin held the transparent bottle in his hand, and slowly approached Sirius' footsteps, Peter Pettigrew Frightened, he followed step by step and stepped back until there was no way to retreat, and he shrank in the dark corner.

"Joke, this may be the poison specially prepared by this traitor, and he wants to kill me by this means. Lupin, please be more sober and don't be fooled by his absurd statements." Peter tried his best to show a sneering expression, he is now I can only delay time, which may give myself a little hope.

"Then it's me and Blake who are going to die first. We both drank." Lupin said in a slightly tired tone. "Now this is the only way I can think of that you can prove yourself. In my heart, I hope that there is some misunderstanding between the two of you, and neither of you is a dirty betrayer." Lupin stared at Peter Pettigrew, seemingly steady. Underneath the exterior, there are dark tides inside.

Even Lupin himself could not have imagined that in such a short period of time, there would be such a big turnaround in this matter.

He even thought that everything would be settled with Peter's appearance, and he just had to catch Blake and everything would be settled.
