Harry Potter’s Natural Villain Chapter 129: Mouse enters the urn
"Remus, I’m glad you can find me. You know, I’m very busy these days. I’m busy going to various places to give speeches. It’s because Harry specially invited me to come to the game before I have time. Here, now we finally have a chance to have a good chat. [Full text reading]" Peter Pettigrew knocked lightly on the door of Lupin’s office, and found that the door was hidden, so he pushed the door directly. After entering, he found that Lu Ping was sitting in front of the old wooden table 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 sympathy. He kept looking at everything in front of him. This was the first time he came to Lupin’s office. On the side is a dusty bookshelf. A dark cyan brush is automatically cleaning it, but the more it sweeps, the dirtier it gets. On his right foot is a gray-black trash can. Peter Pettigrew swept away and saw inside. Filled with medicine dregs, Peter Pettigrew picked up a quill pen on the desk at random and began to play with it, looking at all of this with his rapidly improving taste in these days.
Shabby, poor, no future.
"You can find a better job." Peter Pettigrew said.
Man is a very complicated animal. This is especially true in Peter Pettigrew. He is now famous and has a halo. He has seen a world that he could not imagine before, and he is ready to go wherever he goes. Received courtesy and became a hero in the eyes of everyone.
The admiration of others made him float and swell infinitely. Now he is like a kid who got a novel 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 dwarf roared like crazy inside So, he desperately needed the recognition of his former friends. How much he hoped that there was a trace of envy or even jealousy in Lupin's eyes, just like the original him, a follower who followed the three of them.
They will never understand the inner feelings of a follower.
People with weak hearts tend to rely on the approval of others to numb themselves. .
"I'm fine, Peter. The job of a teacher is very suitable for me. I am satisfied to see the students' curiosity in the eyes." Lupin said calmly, as if he didn't notice Peter Pettigrew's tone at all. There is no sense of superiority.
"Oh, well, you are still so stubborn." The disappointment in Peter Pettigrew's tone flashed past. "Then what do you want to do with me today?" Peter Pettigrew asked afterwards, and he didn't know why Lupin suddenly found him.
"It's just a reminiscence between normal old friends." Lupin waved his hand and said, trying to squeeze a smile on that pale face, which was too old, and picked up what he had placed on the desk without a trace. Magic wand.
With a "crunch", the vacant door was suddenly closed, making a dull sound, perhaps brought on by the wind outside.
"We haven't seen each other in 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 that night you really gave me a surprise, and you are so close to me, you are one of my students' pets."
"Justice will be late, but will never be absent." Dwarf Xingyi patted his chest and said bluntly. This is a sentence Malfoy taught him, so that he can use it when speaking. Whenever he says this When speaking, the audience in the audience would always look at him with tears and be incited by him.
But Peter Pettigrew would not know. In fact, this sentence was aimed at him. Only when he was brought to justice, this sentence was truly realized.
"I always think so." Lupin nodded and replied in a faint voice, "Evil can't overcome righteousness, Voldemort is self-defeating and self-defeating."
Hearing the name of the former master so directly, Peter's chubby body trembled and he almost fell over.
At this moment, the sound of Gada Gada kept coming from the bookshelf beside Peter.
"Remus, your bookshelf needs to be changed. Look at it. It's shaking all the time. I don't even doubt it will fall down the next moment. Would you like me to give you one? This is an old friend. A gift that enhances the relationship between the two." Peter Pettigrew is now holding his chin with his sturdy palm, his small eyes are narrowed, and he carefully looks at the unstable bookshelf, trying to conceal that he just heard something. Tension after the personal name.
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. An unknown premonition suddenly rose in his heart. He always felt that there was something hostile to him behind this bookshelf. Something will rush out to deal with him at any time.
Lupin ignored Peter Pettigrew’s words and didn’t even look at the crumbling bookshelf. Instead, he shook his head slightly and said, “But what I got from other people is what you said in those days, And the subsequent speeches are completely different."
The inexplicable feeling in his heart rose more and more. His premonition of danger was always very accurate. Peter Pettigrew took out his wand from behind and aimed it at the bookshelf. This was specially tailored by Ollivander for him. A magic wand-made of chestnut wood and dragon nerves, it is nine and one-quarter inches long and has a crisp texture, which suits him well.
The aura brought to him by the heroic deeds even allowed the best wand maker in the world to make an exception for him. Thinking of this, Peter's hand holding the wand became harder unconsciously.
"Except your weapon!" A figure suddenly appeared behind the shaking bookshelf. He raised his wand and suddenly cast a spell at Peter Pettigrew. The scarlet light shot out from between the wand without hesitation. Even though Peter Pettigrew has a defensive heart, he still hasn't resisted this swift disarming spell.
The magic wand was thrown high into the air by the spell, and then returned to the figure's hand.
Peter Pettigrew was repelled many steps by the powerful impact, and he used his small eyes to look intently. With just one glance, the chill hits his forehead from the soles of his feet.
Sirius Black!
Peter Pettigrew stared at the man in front of him in horror. This was someone he never expected to appear here. He was tall, with fanatical eyes, and a mess of dirty, tangled hair hanging down to his elbows. ; If the eyes hidden in the deep and dark eye sockets do not glow, he may be a corpse; the waxy skin is close to the skeleton of the face, and it looks like a skull. He bared his yellow teeth and grinned, but in fact, in Peter Pettigrew's memory, this person should be staying in an iron cage in the form of a dog, looking at him feebly.
"Lupin! What do you mean! Are you in a gang with him? Did you forget? It was this man who killed James and Lily and almost killed me." Pettigrew Peter panicked Looking at Lupin and screaming, his name changed from his closest name to his last name in horror.
"I really hate that I didn't kill you at the time." Sirius Black stretched out his tongue and licked his lips. There was something flickering in his dark eyes, as if one had found the target and would kill the prey at any time. Hunting dog.
"Calm down, Sirius." Lupin said, calming Sirius Black's emotions.
"I'm just a little curious, I heard something very different from Blake's mouth." Lupin stood up slowly, staring at Peter Pettigrew with a torch.
"One of you must be lying." Lupin walked to the middle of the two, looked around, then said slowly.
"Remus, my old friend, when will you be fooled by the black wizard's rhetoric? I remember you used to be the most upright and sensible classmate. Come on, let's subdue him. We now have two people. , This traitor can't escape." Peter Pettigrew's body was trembling, his small eyes couldn't stop swirling in his sockets, his head was thinking crazy about how to solve the current situation.
Since Lupin showed this behavior now, it means that he must have doubts about himself, but this does not make sense at all.
The petty dwarf Peter became more and more puzzled. How Lupin was in the mood to listen to Black’s explanation. Even though he has a gentle temperament, he is treating friends. Once the two meet, Lupin will surely subdue the traitor in his eyes. Sirius, or the latter subdues Lupin, if it is the latter, Peter Pettigrew does not think that Sirius's empty words can make Lupin give him so much trust, and even persuade Lupin to do it for himself.
You know, he is the target of external publicity now, and Peter Pettigrew is the hero who avenged his friends and almost died!
Lupin could not have trusted Sirius Black so much for his few words.
While Peter Pettigrew was still thinking about what convinced Sirius Black to win Lupin, Lupin spoke.
"Speech? Peter, if you can talk to me even after drinking Veritaserum, then I will trust your words too."
Lupin said hoarsely, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Veritaserum?" It was as if a thick and powerful hand suddenly grasped his heart. Peter Pettigrew felt that the blood in his whole body began to flow backwards, and the factor of fear penetrated every inch of him. skeleton.
A name entered his brain!
Draco Malfoy!
Why did Sirius get out of the cage? He was clearly locked in Malfoy's cage. Where did he get Veritaserum? In Peter's memory, this potion had only appeared in Malfoy's hands.
"I give you one last warning, Peter, if you continue to perfuse me like this, you will have good fruit." Peter suddenly thought of the warning Malfoy gave him after he met Malfoy the last time. , The boy with light blonde short hair had indifferent eyes and a chilling voice.
But I didn't take it seriously then?
Another scene came to his mind.
"Peter Pettigrew, what are you going to do with this black dog?" Peter Pettigrew suddenly had such a sentence in his mind. It was earlier, after Malfoy explained the plan to him that day. last question.
"My suggestion is to kill, so that it will be done once and for all. The only people in the world who know this secret are the two of us." Malfoy bewitched him with a devilish smile. "This way you will have no more worries." He said, Peter Pettigrew's heart was starting to chill at the time.
Human nature is complicated. When he is already safe, Peter Pettigrew actually moved a compassionate heart. He looked at the thin black dog and felt unbearable.
"Let me think about it." Peter Pettigrew said timidly, his eyes filled with struggle and hesitation. People like him can only burst out of power when they are in desperate situation. They dare to attack anyone for his own life. But at ease, it is impossible to make such a cruel decision.
He could inform Voldemort and indirectly kill James who regarded him as his brother, but he could never kill him personally.
Sirius is the same.
At this time, he remembered that Sirius had treated him well, and chose to let it go.
So, is this situation caused by oneself? His momentary softness gave Sirius Black a chance to escape the cage, and even convinced Lupin to set a trap for himself.
Peter Pettigrew has regrets in his heart. He wants to go back to that time and make himself more decisive and cruel, so that today's things will not happen.
Of course, he would not know that it was a test that Malfoy deliberately gave him, just to see if his character was covetous enough, not cruel enough, and could be controlled by himself, if he was elected at that time Author~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe it has no use value, it has been reported now, staying in Azkaban.
"Peter, you still have a chance to win my trust now, that is, drink this bottle of potion and answer my questions." Lupin held the transparent bottle in his hand, slowly approaching Sirius's footsteps. Peter Pettigrew walked back in fear, until he couldn't retreat, and shrank in the dark corner.
"Joke, this may be a poison specially deployed by this traitor. You just want to kill me through this method, Lupin, you should be sober, don't be confused by his ridiculous statement." Peter tried his best to show a sneer. , He can only postpone time now, this may give himself some hope.
"Then if you want to die, Blake and I will die first. We both drank it." Lupin still said in a slightly tired tone. "Now this is the only way I can think of you to prove yourself. In my heart, I hope you two have any misunderstandings, neither are dirty betrayers." Lupin stared at Peter Pettigrew, seemingly steady. Under the surface, the heart is surging.
Even Lupin himself could not have imagined that in a short period of time, there would be such a big reversal in this matter.
He even thought that everything would be concluded with Peter's appearance, and he only needs to catch Black and everything will be settled.
