Chapter 183: Peter's Tearful Story
Looking at the short rat-like man in front of him, Harry didn't react for a moment.
While Ron on the side found it even more difficult to accept.
Thinking of how he always hugged and kissed Scabbers when he was a child, he suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach.
"you you..."
Peter looked at Ron, and said softly, "Little master, I'm Scabbers!"
He had just finished speaking when Sirius and Remus pounced at him.
Lucas took Professor Snape to the side to watch the play.
"Mr. Grindelwald, can you explain what's going on?"
"Where did you find out about the trace of Sirius, and how did you learn that Pettigrew is not dead?"
Professor Snape's voice caught everyone's attention.
The same is true for the three shabby men wrestling together on the ground.
Lucas shrugged, waved his wand and said, "Accio Marauder's Map"
A neatly folded piece of parchment flew out of Lupin's jacket pocket.
Seeing the surprised expression on the werewolf Professor, Lucas laughed and said: "Professor Lupin, do you think I'm such a careless person? Such an important object, how could I not realize that it was lost."
"So you've been..."
"Of course, I discovered Peter Pettigrew's identity after I got the Marauder's Map in the first year."
Lucas spoke the Marauder's Map password.
Seeing the contents, even Professor Snape was surprised.
"I have to say, the four of you are really geniuses, you can actually create such a useful item, it has been really useful so thank you."
After Lucas finished speaking, he put the parchment into his pocket.
"You don't think that fat cat I gave my girlfriend in second year was really just a gift, right?"
"That's the pet cat that I've been looking for for a long time. It is part kneazle and is very sensitive to people using the Animagus transformation."
At this time, Peter also realized why the fat cat always found himself. And he had to suffer countless times because of that diabolical cat.
At this moment, the people in the Shrieking Shack looked at the smiling blond boy and felt a chill in their backs.
Lucas clapped his hands, waking everyone up.
"I've finished answering your questions, so go ahead and continue with your own matters."
Everyone's attention was once again on Peter Pettigrew.
Sirius asked angrily: "Why did you betray James, why?"
"I had no choice, you don't know how terrible the Dark Lord can be, I was forced!"
Peter's pitiful appearance did not get the sympathy of the two.
Remus pinched the rat's neck and said sharply: "Nonsense, you are just greedy for life and afraid of death, Wormtail!"
Hearing the nickname Wormtail, Peter's expression changed.
He broke free from the grip of the two and escaped to a corner and looked at everyone in the room.
When he saw Lucas' encouraging eyes, an expression of hatred immediately appeared on his face.
"Wormtail? That's right, I'm just your follower, your pet rat. At school, everyone knew that I was a coward."
"Only you guys didn't laugh at me and treated me as a friend, which I believed at first."
"But it didn't take long for me to realize that you were just looking for a lackey. My cowardice and my poor magic talent made you all look better!"
Remus didn't expect such thoughts from Peter, he took a step forward and explained: "We are not like you said."
"Come on, Prefect Lupin, you were so good and popular in Gryffindor back then, otherwise you wouldn't have been selected as a prefect in the fifth year."
"And Sirius, the heir of the Black family, pure blood, ancient and rich, really enviable."
"And James Potter, also from an ancient pure-blood family, you were all so good."
"Hehe, maybe you don't feel it, but in our daily relationship, your words and deeds marked me as a mere follower."
"Sirius, why did you persuade James to replace the Secret Keeper with me?"
Everyone looked at Sirius who bowed his head and said nothing.
Peter sneered, "I'll answer for you, because both you and James thought I was a coward!"
"Neither Voldemort nor the Death Eaters would have imagined that such a cowardly person would be the secret keeper, would they?"
"Since you all thought that I was a cowardly and useless person, I just had enough of it and took the initiative to throw myself into the service of the Dark Lord."
"What a coincidence, the arrogant Sirius Black decided to change the secret keeper. Do you know how happy I was when I became the secret keeper?"
"So when the Fidelius Charm took effect, I took advantage of you to go out to attract the attention of the Death Eaters, and secretly told the location of James' house to my master."
"I have made great contributions to my master, but since then my master has not come back. So I can only hide and keep hiding, not only to escape from you but also from the Death Eaters."
"I am what I am because of you, Sirius Black!"
Harry heard the whole process of Peter Pettigrew's betrayal of his parents, and wished he could kill him right away.
Sirius was equally angry, he looked at his old friend and shouted.
"Even if I'm wrong, but we really regarded you as a friend, how could you betray James?!"
Hearing Sirius' answer, Peter seemed to have heard a very funny joke.
"Friends? Why didn't you tell Remus that James was going to cast the Fidelius Charm on his house?"
"this...."
Sirius didn't know how to answer the question and Harry was equally curious about it.
There are various indications that the four Marauders were very good friends back then.
So in the end, why is it that only Remus didn't know about the Fidelius Charm?.
Pettigrew Peter gave the answer.
He laughed and pointed at the unkempt Sirius and said, "Because you didn't trust him, because Remus Lupin is a werewolf!"
boom!!
Harry looked at Professor Lupin standing at the side in shock. Unexpectedly, his favorite professor was actually a werewolf.
Ron murmured, "It turns out that Snape asked us to learn about werewolves for this reason."
Even a fool like Ron Weasley understands the horror of werewolves.
The identity that he tried to hide was exposed, so Remus was too ashamed to face the crowd.
But in this room, only Harry and Ron didn't know of his lycanthropy.
Harry stared at him and said, "So, you were the werewolf who almost hurt Professor Snape, right?"
Remus nodded in shame, there was an apologetic look when he looked at Professor Snape's eyes.
"I'm sorry, Severus!"
"Moony, you don't have to apologize to him, you can only blame Snivellus for being too nosy."
Hearing what Sirius said, Snape was tempted to use the killing curse to put down the mutt.
"Calm down, calm down, professor!"
Seeing the reaction of the two, Harry's eyes were full of doubts.
He looked at Professor Lupin, hoping for an explanation.
Remus let out a long breath and said, "It happened when we were in school."
"As a werewolf, I had no hope of going to school, but Headmaster Dumbledore accepted me."
"When I was assigned to Gryffindor, I also met James and Sirius. After knowing my identity as a werewolf, they were not afraid, but thought it was cool."
"In order to accompany me through the painful transformation period, the three of them secretly practiced how to become an Animagus."
"It didn't take long for them to succeed, and James turned into a stag, Sirius into a black dog, and Peter into a rat."
"Every night when the moon was full, they would accompany me to transform here in the Shrieking Shack."
"The rumors about the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade started at that time."
"James and the others didn't want me to be discovered when I transformed, so they deliberately spread these rumors."
Although Remus' voice was flat, it still left Sirius and Peter stuck in the memories of the past.
During that time, the four of them were the focus of the school, the most popular students.
But now one by one they all fell to this point.
Remus paused and continued.
"Then Severus was curious about my disappearance and started following us."
"On the night of the full moon, Sirius figured it would be fun to trick Severus into the Shrieking Shack."
"So someone revealed the place where I hid when I transformed, and when he found it, I happened to be in a transformed state."
"If James hadn't arrived in time to pull Severus out, I'm afraid I'd have killed him, or worse, infected him."
Harry finally heard the full version of the incident.
Recalling the summer vacation after their first year, Lucas seemed to say that speaking is really an art.
Dumbledore's vague words made him think his father was a man of justice and Snape was an ungrateful prick.
But he didn't expect the truth to be like this.
Remus stepped aside after speaking.
Just when the room fell silent, Sirius suddenly said: "Snivellus deserved it. If he didn't go around sniffing and putting his nose where it didn't belong, wouldn't he have been fine? Who made him always fight against us!"
Seeing him still unrepentant, Lucas swung his wand and cast a binding spell at him.
"Sure enough, Sirius, you will never reflect on your mistakes. Compared with your brother, you are really far behind!"
"Don't mention that idiot Regulus in front of me!"
After finishing speaking, Sirius seemed to think of something and looked at Lucas with a knowing smile.
"It turns out that stupid kid has taken refuge with you, otherwise how can you be so clear about our affairs, let him come out!"
Sirius didn't notice, but Lucas was looking at him more and more coldly.
The wand in his hand was getting tighter and tighter!.
