Chapter 747: Peter's story
The door of the dormitory was closed heavily, the voices of Harry and Ron gradually disappeared, and the room fell into a dead silence.
I don't know how long it took, a mouse crawled out from under the bed, rushed to the table and started to bite the package of snacks, gnawing at the snacks Harry and Ron had brought back from the Honey Duke candy store.
Compared to food prepared for rats, Shaban prefers human food.
This eating style has something to do with Shaban who was once a human being.
Yes, this mouse named Scab was a human, not a mouse.
Although he has used the body of a mouse for more than ten years, he was also a wizard, a wizard named Pettigrew Peter.
That's right, it's the same name as Pettigrew Peter, who was killed by Sirius Black and won the first Merlin Merlin Medal, or Pettigrew Peter is his past.
If someone says this, then he must be crazy.
Everyone thought Blake was crazy, and Peter also hoped that his former friend was crazy.
However, Black not only didn't make the Dementor crazy, but his head was so clear that he could even find his traces in a newspaper.
After Sirius Black escaped from prison, Peter knew that Black was not crazy, especially from the information he heard from Mr. Weasley that all the signs before Black escaped showed that the other party had found that he was still alive, so he would ignore it. Everything escaped from Azkaban and tried to break into Hogwarts Castle to kill himself.
All this was so crazy, and Sirius Black had already tried it once. Although he failed, Peter knew Sirius Black, and that guy would never let him go easily.
Hogwarts Castle, which seems to be tightly protected, is not as safe as it seems. Black knows the location of most of the secret passages in the castle and can easily enter the castle through the outer guards.
This made Pettigrew Peter always worry about being afraid, afraid that Black would suddenly come out that day and kill himself.
Even if Sirius Black’s mind is clearer, he doesn’t have to risk killing Peter, but if he is forced to regain his prototype and let everyone know that Peter Pettigrew is still alive, then he should be out of luck.
"You are all to blame!"
Peter looked at the picture of the Potter couple on the bedside table, and the hatred in his heart slowly grew. He has lived as a mouse for more than ten years, but how many more years are there in his life?
He hated all this.
Looking at the Potters dancing in the photo, Peter was silent.
He remembered that while he was still at Hogwarts school, the power of the mysterious man had spread throughout the British magical world. Every time the Dark Mark appears above the house, it means that someone has died in the murder of a Death Eater. It was the darkest period in Britain.
Peter actually knew that James had always believed that his family’s dragon pox was related to the Death Eaters. Because they were unwilling to give in or remain neutral, the Death Eaters murdered James’ relatives in a despicable way.
Making people suffer from dragon pox was a popular murder method in those years. It is said that the only Muggle minister in the British magical world died of dragon pox.
At that time, Peter persuaded Potter to take Lily to leave the UK and stay away from the dangers, but James refused, and even yelled at him: "I don't want to be a coward, and I won't hide. The mysterious person cannot make my family succumb. Don't want me to give in, I will resist them and resist to the end."
At that time, the power of the mysterious people was simply not something they could fight against.
The four had just graduated from school and joined the Order of the Phoenix, an anti-mystery organization organized by Dumbledore.
Actually, Peter didn't want to join the Order of the Phoenix. He just wanted to live a peaceful life, but he eventually joined the Order of the Phoenix.
Peter hated Potter's so-called bravery. What good would it do to fight against the most evil demon in history besides losing his life?
Isn’t your life more important?
Is he going to put Lily who follows him in danger?
If they die and they don't even have a future, then what's the point.
Everyone said that the mysterious people were afraid of Dumbledore, but the situation was still not optimistic, and Dumbledore did not have much energy to protect them.
Well, after joining the Order of the Phoenix, Peter realized that the noble cause of the Order of the Phoenix is ??to try to save more people, and then fight against the mysterious people together.
However, what does it have to do with him? Is it to save his innocent life by putting his own life on it?
Peter didn't like the Order of the Phoenix from the bottom of his heart.
Especially after joining the Order of the Phoenix, Peter has always been worried about being afraid, afraid that Voldemort will one day appear at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. I am afraid that when I go out on a mission, I will be caught by the minions of a mysterious person, tortured harshly, and eventually lose my life.
However, the nightmare soon became a reality!
Voldemort appeared at the door of his house. Fortunately, when Peter went back, he didn't find the Dark Mark floating above their house.
Voldemort did not kill Peter and his mother, but gave him a choice.
Surrender or die.
Or, Voldemort thought it was a good opportunity to plant a spy in Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix, so Peter and his mother survived.
If he hadn't joined the Order of the Phoenix in the first place, perhaps this would not have happened, and his mother would not be affected by it.
However, there is no if.
At first, Peter actually thought about asking Dumbledore for help, asking Dumbledore to save his mother, and asking Dumbledore to hide them, but Peter knew very well that there was only one dead end to betray Voldemort.
However, what made him shake was everything the Death Eaters showed him.
Whether it was the Ministry of Magic or the Order of the Phoenix who thought they were providing information, many of them were actually Voldemort. His power spread throughout the entire British magical world. All this made Peter feel extremely desperate.
He knew he had no choice.
"What's the benefit of rejecting it? Are you impatient?"
Pettigrew Peter has not forgotten what he said when he communicated with Ludo Bagman.
Ludo Bagman was obviously much smarter than him, and took advantage of his relationship with August Luckwood to find a job at the Ministry of Magic.
Quidditch can't be played for a lifetime. It would be better to become a Quidditch coach after retirement, but it is obviously a better choice to enter the Magic and Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic.
And he was not branded with the Dark Devil's mark, just like Peter, even if he was finally accused of passing the message for Voldemort, he could still find an excuse for himself.
After that conversation, Pettigrew Peter completely compromised, and he also wanted to benefit himself from Voldemort. Many wizards like Voldemort were loyal to him.
In helping Voldemort collect information on the Order of the Phoenix, Peter did not do his best for this, but only revealed some less important information to Voldemort.
In fact, Peter has no access to too important news.
Later, Voldemort became aware of a certain prophecy. James’ son was the prophet. After learning that the Potter family was going to hide, Voldemort asked him to become Potter’s secret, and promised that he would be given to him after the incident. The Ministry of Magic arranged a good location.
In fact, Peter had long known that even if Voldemort did not promise those things, he had no choice.
Voldemort's power is in full swing, the Ministry of Magic has long been infiltrated into a plug by Death Eaters, and all the efforts of the Order of the Phoenix are useless.
After he betrayed the Order of the Phoenix and betrayed his former friends, he had no other choice, and Peter had no courage to betray Voldemort. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com
He doesn't want to die yet.
Everything went smoother than expected. Peter told James that he was not as brave as Blake, Lupin, and James. The situation was getting worse and worse. He was terribly scared and wanted to hide abroad, but he was scared. Lupin and Black said he was a coward, so Peter wanted to be the secret of the Potters, and then he could hide himself in a place where the mysterious and Death Eaters could not find him.
James agreed and apologized to Peter.
"It's too late, I can't look back anymore." Peter, turning back into a human form, muttered, looking at the picture of the Potters and his wife.
Black will never give up easily, he will definitely break into Hogwarts Castle again and try to kill himself.
Before Blake was caught again, he had to pretend to be dead once, and it happened that the crazy cat had been chasing him, which was a good opportunity for him.
Peter put the collected cat hairs on the ground, bit his palm, smeared blood on Ron's sheet, and then turned into a mouse and slipped away.
