Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 826: Wormtail

  Chapter 827 Wormtail

  "Sorry boy, it's all my fault for hurting you...live well...don't do bad things again."

  Peter suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep. He stretched out his hand and pushed the sheet aside and sat up, his forehead was soaked with sweat at some point, and his breathing became a little short.

   As soon as he closed his eyes, Peter would go back to that day. His mother sacrificed herself to help him escape from Azkaban prison.

   Since his mother died in Azkaban prison, remorse and guilt have been tormenting Peter's heart.

   "Live well?" There was a helpless, wry smile on Peter's mouth. Can he really give up everything, remain anonymous, and live well?

   is too hard.

   is really hard.

   In order not to be found alive by others, Peter had to stay away from the wizarding world and hide himself in the Muggle world.

  However, how could a wizard live like a normal human being?

   Of course Peter couldn't, and he knew he couldn't fit into the Muggle world.

   Not even Arthur Weasley, the most Muggle-obsessed, could do that.

   So, most of the time, Peter can only use magic to solve the problems he encounters, so that he can live a decent life.

  The long-term use of magic in the Muggle world can easily cause trouble for himself, and may attract employees of the Ministry of Magic, so Peter only spends a few days in one place most of the time. Then, you have to carry your suitcase like a traveler and embark on a new journey alone.

  Especially after leaving the UK, the language barrier made communication very difficult and made Peter's life even more difficult, and he had to use magic frequently to solve the troubles he encountered.

   And everything Peter did, he couldn't be a good person, he knew he couldn't be a good person.

   is probably going to let her down again.

   The sky was still dark, and the street outside the window was dark.

  The awakened Peter was no longer drowsy. After putting on a decent dress, he began to organize his suitcase, preparing to leave the hotel with his suitcase like an ordinary traveller when the sky was getting brighter.

   A familiar crackling sound came from outside the street. Peter, like a mouse whose tail was stepped on, quickly hid his wand under the bed, and his whole body quickly turned into a mouse and got under the bed.

   A few seconds later, the door to the room was opened without warning.

  Three wand-wielding wizards entered Peter's room vigilantly. They quickly scanned the empty room, their eyes fell on the half-organized suitcase on the bed, and they exchanged glances.

   "I didn't hear a sound, it shouldn't be an Apparition." A wizard quickly scanned the room and began to check the place where people could hide, and naturally he didn't let it go under the bed.

  "It's a man, just left." One of them glanced at the clothes in the suitcase and said, "Who do you think it will be?"

   "I don't know, that guy is really vigilant and probably hasn't run far." Another wizard waved his wand towards the suitcase and took it straight away.

   Before the three of them left, they released the magic that Peter used on the innkeeper.

   "Damn." Peter waited for a long time before he got out of the bed. He was not in a hurry to change back. Instead, he observed the vicinity for a while to make sure there was no threat around him before he took it out from under the bed and hid it by him. 's wand, and then reverts back to human form.

   This is not the first time Peter has encountered such a thing.

  Use magic at will in the Muggle world, and it is easy to be targeted by the Ministry of Magic. This time his luck is relatively poor, and he did not expect that he would be targeted so quickly.

   It's not too bad though. At least, the wand is kept, as long as the wand is still there, he doesn't have to worry about life problems, and magic can make it easy for him to get everything in the Muggle world.

   Before leaving the inn, Peter secretly asked the innkeeper to borrow some money to avoid the embarrassing situation of running out of money. It's rather unwise to use magic rashly now, especially in such a densely populated area of ​​​​Muggles, he doesn't want to be targeted by the Ministry of Magic.

   So, Peter used Apparition to leave after borrowing the money.

   Somewhere in a remote alley, Peter appeared out of nowhere. He sniffed the bad smell in the alley, frowned slightly, and quickly left the alley, bought himself a sandwich with borrowed money from the shop on the side of the road, and then wandered around the city. Go to the destination.

  Peter didn't know where he was going or what he wanted to do?

   has been wandering all over Europe since he left England on a Muggle steamship, and most of the time Peter just needs to avoid wizards and avoid being found alive.

   "It's really embarrassing, like a stray dog. Was Sirius just as embarrassed as I was when he fled? No, he must be worse than me, and he can only wander around as a stray dog." Peter was eating Sandwich, while reminiscing about the guy who made himself so embarrassed.

   He threw his finished sandwich bags into the trash, and sat down in thought on a chair by the park.

  Why did things turn out like this?

  Peter has asked himself this more than once.

   If it wasn't for Voldemort, maybe he wouldn't be what he is now, but Peter didn't dare to hate Voldemort, and he didn't have that kind of courage.

  So, Peter hated Potter, hated Black, hated Lupin, hated them for pulling him into the Order of the Phoenix, hated them for bringing misfortune to himself.

   Actually, Peter didn't plan to join the Order of the Phoenix in the first place, but because of Potter, Black, and Lupin's relationship, he eventually joined the Order with them.

   Then, all the nightmares started from there!

   After being threatened by Voldemort and forced to choose between family and friends, he was on a path of no return.

  Peter chose his family and betrayed his friends, if they were friends at all.

   Betrayal, not just because of the threat of the Dark Lord, Peter is also taking revenge on his friends who brought him misfortune and disaster.

  No, they never considered him a friend.

   "Not since the beginning," Peter muttered.

   Yes!

   He has no way out!

  Peter doesn't want to live like he does now, he doesn't want to live like a stray dog, worrying about being scared at any time, worrying about Black coming back to kill him, worrying about the Death Eaters coming to kill him.

  "Albania."

  Peter whispered the name of the place. Legend has it that the Dark Lord is hiding in the forests of this country. If he can help the Dark Lord make a comeback, the Death Eaters who want to kill him will have to give up their hatred and accept him again. And the Ministry of Magic, which took away Peter's estate, would also be punished.

   Also, Blake, Lupin and others.

  Peter also hated Albert who sent him to Azkaban Prison. When he escaped from the prison, he also wanted to seek revenge for Albert.

   But Peter finally gave up. He finally escaped and didn't want to take the risk, and Peter didn't dare to seek revenge for Albert. The last time was so badly arranged that Peter had a crush on Albert. Special has produced some shadows in his heart.

   That guy is not easy to mess with, insidious, cunning, and his ability is very terrifying, known as Dumbledore in his youth.

  Peter suspects that the other party can also use magic skillfully without using a wand.

  Once the sneak attack fails, it's over, and the most embarrassing thing is that Peter doesn't know where Albert's house is. It might take time to find his location, but Peter doesn't dare to take the risk, he doesn't want to die yet , once it is revealed that he is still alive, no one will let him go. It is the best choice to leave the UK as soon as possible.

  Perhaps, nothing will be the same until the Dark Lord returns.

   He doesn't have to live in such an embarrassed way as he is now.

   At that moment, Peter seemed to have made up his mind and decided to embark on a journey to Albania.

   The road to Albania was not smooth.

   During this period, Peter used Muggle tools most of the time, and sometimes he even had to use the Imperius Curse to control Muggles, so that he left the country with himself and his wand turned into a mouse, so as to avoid causing the wizard's attack Notice.

   It took Peter a full week to arrive in Albania by ship from a port in Italy.

  Albania is a chaotic and poor country. The Muggles there are very poor and the population is pitiful. There is no Ministry of Magic. Many dark creatures and dark wizards like to settle in the Albanian forest.

   However, this really gave Peter a bit of a breakdown.

  The Albanian forest is not big or small. It is not easy to find the Dark Lord hidden in such a country. No one knows what the Dark Lord is hiding in the forest. Forest search.

   It's not easy to find someone, especially when the target is the Dark Lord, it's even harder to find him.

   However, Peter has a rather special way of looking.

   Probably because he is Animagus himself, Peter is relatively close to other animals, especially mice, and there is always a strange close relationship.

   Whenever Peter turns into a mouse, he can communicate with the mice in the forest to inquire about the news in the forest, which makes his search for the Dark Lord much more efficient. After all, no one is better than living in the forest. The residents have a better understanding of the conditions in the forest.

   Peter spent a lot of time, but he didn't find the Dark Lord, but found a bunch of dark creatures, especially vampires, banshees and trolls, and even some wizards settled here, but he just didn't find the Dark Lord Although Peter was a little lost, he also knew that this was a normal thing, if it was the Dark Lord who was looking for it, he was found, not the so-called "legend that the Dark Lord is hiding here".

  Peter did not give up easily. He was screening the forests in Albania one by one. It has to be said that the forest area in this country is really not ordinary, and at least more than 30% of the land is covered by forests.

  Time is slowly stripping Peter's patience, but for a guy who doesn't know what to do, this kind of boring thing is undoubtedly a good way to pass the time, and communicating with mice is actually not too boring. Things, he can learn a lot of information about the forest under his feet every time, just pay some food is enough.

   And, in Albania, you don't have to worry about wizards, at least basically there are very few wizards here.

   He has decided that if he doesn't find the Dark Lord, he will settle here and stay away from those right and wrong, at least this land is more suitable for him to live in compared to Britain and even Europe.

  Yes, there are quite a few outlaws settled here.

   "There are not many forests left, is it really just a legend?" Peter took the map he got from the Muggles, and the forests marked on the map were crossed one by one.

   Most of the legends are actually somewhat based.

   Peter came to the edge of a forest again. The surrounding sky had completely darkened. The dark forest looked a little grim, but it couldn't scare Peter away. He used to sneak into the forest at night.

   However, Peter is in no hurry to enter the forest now, because he is hungry and intends to eat something to fill his stomach at a nearby Muggle hotel, and he also needs to bring some presents for his mouse friends.

   When Peter entered the hotel with a suitcase disguised as a Muggle, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

   "Peter Pettigrew, are you still alive?"

  Peter was taken aback, his heart was beating violently, and countless thoughts emerged in his head.

   When he turned his head, he saw a strange woman.

  Peter knew Bertha Jorkins, a woman who worked at the Ministry of Magic and who was not very smart.

  "Well, still alive, a lot has happened."

   Peter lowered his eyes. He knew he had to eliminate the hidden danger. God knows what would happen if Bertha Jorkins returned to the Ministry with news that she was still alive.

   Maybe some people think Bertha Jorkins is doing something stupid, but Sirius and Lupin and even the other Death Eaters can definitely guess that they are still alive and come to trouble him, which Peter can't Tolerance, he must erase the memory of Bertha Jorkins meeting him, or even kill her.

  "I heard you..."

  "There are some things that don't fit here." Peter interrupted, raising his hand, "Let's go outside and talk, a lot has happened recently."

   Bertha Jorkins hesitated for a moment, then nodded and followed Peter out of the hotel.

   The two walked briskly at night, and Peter began to tell what happened to him.

   Such as how he escaped from Azkaban prison, why he betrayed the Potters, and why he turned into a mouse to hide.

   "If it were you, which one would you choose, watch your family members get killed, or compromise." Peter smiled wryly.

   "So, you betrayed the Potters?" Bertha Jorkins asked rhetorically.

   "No, no. I actually hinted to the Potters secretly, let them run away quickly, and let the You-Know-Who go, but unfortunately they didn't have time to run away, they were blocked, so they died." The bitterness and guilt that could not be concealed, he was shaping himself into a person who was not considered dangerous, "Later, my mother knew that I was still alive, and she was always very guilty, thinking that what happened back then was because of her, that I let me Forced to make that choice, she felt like she was dying, so she took the compound medicine to die in Azkaban prison instead of me, she wanted me to live well, so I came here to start a new life.”

   "Then why didn't you come out and prove Blake's innocence." Bertha Jorkins continued to ask.

   "I do, but Sirius wants to kill me, and so do the Death Eaters. If I stand up, I'll be dead." Peter asked back, "If it were you, would you?"

   "After the Potters died ~IndoMTL.com~ Sirius hunted me down and I tried to explain it all to him, but Sirius just didn't want to believe it, thought I killed the Potters and used the Powerful magic tried to kill me. Later, our spell collision blew up the whole street, and I ended up hurriedly turning into a rat and running down the sewers."

   "As for Black, it's purely that the Ministry of Magic needs to find someone to take the blame. After all, a lot of Muggles have died, so they have to give an account, and when Black was laughing over there, he was caught by the Ministry of Magic. Throwing in Azkaban without trial." Peter couldn't help laughing at himself, "Actually, I didn't expect this to happen."

  "You probably don't know that my mother donated most of the Peter family's wealth to the Ministry of Magic in order to see me in prison."

  "Really?"

   "Of course it is true." Peter stopped, sarcastically, "otherwise, why do you think Minister Fudge would allow her to visit me at Azkaban?"

   "How could..." Before Bertha Jorkins finished speaking, she saw Peter pointing a wand at herself. The next moment, a red light lit up under the night, Bertha Jorkins In this way, he was brought down by Peter's stun spell, and he paid the price for his stupidity.
