Chapter 424: Even the Dark Lord is not as cruel as you
Chapter 424: Even the Dark Lord is not as cruel as you
The words of Peter Pettigrew plunged Harry and the others into the mist again, and things that were completely certain seemed to become uncertain again.
"It seems that you only have this ability to slander people! Why didn't you explain why you had to pretend to be a mouse and hide for more than ten years?" Sirius sneered.
"It's Lupin, Lupin has been chasing me down! I must hide... I must hide!" Peter Pettigrew shouted madly.
"Professor Lupin?" Harry and the others said in astonishment.
"Yes, that's right, it's Lupin... He is actually a werewolf! It was not only Black and Lupin who had betrayed James back then!"
Peter Pettigrew broke another shocking news, and then he continued to speak more and more smoothly, tearfully speaking.
"Do you know why Lupin is so poor all these years? He always suspected that I was still alive, so he planned to kill me and even gave up his job for this, preferring to be hungry!
Lupin has been looking for me all over the world for the past few years, because only I know their evil faces...He must have known that I am here when he came to Hogwarts this year as a professor..."
Peter Pettigrew was crying like a man of tears. He looked at Harry and said.
"Moreover, I want to stay by your side to protect you, Harry! You must not have imagined how happy I was when I saw you at Hogwarts for the first time."
The face of Ivan who knew the truth became very strange. He knew that Peter Pettigrew was very cunning, but he never expected that this guy could make up so much.
Fortunately, he was more cautious and didn't expose Peter's identity in the public. Otherwise, if nothing else, the identity of Lupin's werewolf would be leaked...
"How dare you... Peter, you filthy bug, you are not enough to slander me, and you intend to involve Lupin?" Sirius angrily grabbed Peter by the collar and punched directly. Hit him on the nose.
Peter screamed in pain, the bridge of his nose was beaten crooked, nosebleeds and nasal mucus mixed together, and all kinds of red and white spouted out of his nose.
Sirius didn't stop, but punched again, and Peter cried madly.
"Help, he wants to kill me so no one knows the truth! Stop him..."
Harry and the others who were watching were a little at a loss. Ivan was a little worried that Peter would be killed directly, so he wanted to offer some comfort.
At this moment, the door of the screaming hut was suddenly opened, and a voice followed.
"Peter...Unexpectedly, you would say this to me secretly, your ability to make stories is much higher than before!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked over. Lupin, wearing a patched robe, walked in from the door, his face looked a little sickly pale, and he held a magic wand in his hand.
Sirius was not surprised when he saw Lupin, because he had invited him, but he keenly noticed that Lupin's state was a bit wrong.
"What's the matter with you, Lupin? Are you okay?" Sirius put aside Peter with a swollen nose, frowned, and asked puzzledly.
"I just took the wolf's poison potion. I'm in a bad state these days!" Lu Ping shook his head, saying that he was fine.
Ivan interrupted their words at this moment and said emphatically. "The genuine wolf poison potion does not have this debilitating effect. You may have been cheated by Snape..."
"Perhaps! After all, he hasn't liked me very much, anyway, it will be effective..." Lupin said with a wry smile.
He had to transform once a month. Although the potion Snape gave him would have side effects that would make him weak, at least it could restrain the ferocity after the transformation, which was enough for him.
You must know that the price of genuine wolf poison potions is not cheap. He has just become a professor and has little money. After years of wandering life, he has developed the habit of saving money.
Then, Lupin turned to look at Harry and the others and said apologetically. "I'm sorry, but I kept hiding from you for so long. I was worried that my werewolf identity would cause some panic, so I chose to keep it secret."
Despite the pain, Peter Pettigrew suddenly showed excitement on his twisted face. He pointed to Lupin and said loudly. "Have you seen it, he admits it, he admits that he is a werewolf!"
"Even if Professor Lupin is a werewolf, that can't prove anything. There are good people and bad people in any race. The saying that a werewolf is evil is just the prejudice of many wizards. I believe Professor Lupin is a good person!"
Hermione interrupted Peter's words and spoke to Harry and the others.
"Right, Harry, Ron!"
"Yes, Lupin is the best Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor I have ever seen!"
Harry remembered Lupin's dedicated teaching course during this time, and he also cared about himself, so he quickly made a choice.
After all, his best friend and most trusted professor stood up and told him Sirius was innocent, and Peter was the real murderer who betrayed his parents!
This made Harry's original wobbly balance now completely fall to Sirius's side.
Ron also nodded dumbly. He looked at Peter in a daze. He still didn't believe that his beloved mouse would become a bald old man...
The excitement on Peter Pettigrew's face stagnated, and seeing the people present turning one by one, despair gradually spread in his heart.
Peter tried hard to climb to Ivan's feet, grabbed Ivan's thigh, and asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"Halse! You are so smart, you will believe me, right?"
"Save it~www.mtlnovel.com~Peter...Why are you doing this every time, there is nothing new, but the story you make up is getting better and better!" Peter Pettigrew kicked aside.
After thinking about it, Ivan waved his magic wand again and turned into a rope to bind him tightly, and added a magic that made people weak.
Although Peter, who doesn't have a magic wand in his hand, has no threats, it is better to guard against some. After all, there are little wizards like Harry, Hermione, and Ron.
Peter, who fell down the corner, fell into a deeper despair after hearing Ivan's words. The pain in his body couldn't conceal the chill from the soles of his feet...
He is not stupid, combined with his intermittent memories of the past few days, he quickly thought of something extraordinary, and he took a breath of breath. No wonder he always felt that there was something that he couldn't remember these days.. .
Peter looked at Ivan again, trembling like he was looking at a demon. He felt that even the Dark Lord would not be so cruel...
