The bright moonlight penetrates the window and climbs into the Gryffindor Tower common room.
In the place where the moonlight is out, a small figure is trembling under the chair.
Pettigrew Peter twisted his hands wince, breathing almost out of breath.
For twelve years, what he has been afraid of has finally happened. His former best friend, Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, he broke into Hogwarts, just now, there was even a wall between them.
Peter understands that he sold Mr. and Mrs. Potter to Voldemort, and Black came to find his revenge. He wanted to kill himself.
He instinctively wants to run away, but he does n’t know where to hide. He knows Black too well. Since the other party knows that he is still alive, he will never give up.
Even if there are hundreds of dementor(s)s here, even if the whole Hogwarts is turned upside down, Black will not flinch, and he will not stop until he catches himself again. This is Sirius Black, a real Gryffindor, a monster that never knows what fear and cowardice are.
Maybe another fake death, as it was 12 years ago.
As soon as this thought came to mind in Peter, he was rejected.
This is not the muggle(s) street twelve years ago, and he is not only facing Black this time.
Here is Hogwarts. There are Dumbledore, Snape, Lupin, Professor McGonagall, James and Lily ’s son Harry, and the boy named Ivan Mason's. Each of them is smarter, stronger, and more courageous than himself. .
It ’s too hard, too hard to lie to these people like Sirius Black!
When I escape, where can I go?
The Death Eater(s) who are still alive will not let him go after getting the wind. Dark Lord failed after listening to his news.
Until now, Peter didn't understand. Why would someone who is so powerful that he can't even mention his name be defeated by a baby? He did not understand that he had obviously chosen the strong side, why did he get to this point?
Everything seems to be back to the dot, back to the time when I first entered school twenty years ago.
Pettigrew Peter still remembers the Sorting ceremony he enrolled in school. He was thin and small, and he shivered towards Sorting Hat. He put on the hat, the Sorting Hat that was so big that he covered his eyes, he could n’t see the audience at all.
He was too scared, since he was a kid. He did nothing. He was weak, not smart, and had no extraordinary magic talent. He was afraid that he would be rushed back by his hat. He was afraid to watch it again. To the disappointed look of mother.
"Difficult, very difficult!" Sorting Hat began to speak in his ear, "You are not a brave child, do not have enough wisdom, unsettled mind, and refuse to work hard, although pure blood But it is difficult to live in Slytherin without the qualities required by Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. Even if it is mediocre but I do n’t want to stay in the ordinary Hufflepuff, let me think about it, where should you go? "
Yeah, where should I go?
Since she was a child, her father and her mother were dependent on each other. Although she was poor, her mother still tried her best to buy all the magical equipment for her. She had high hopes for herself. Every night before going to bed, she would tell her father ’s story.
Peter remembers her mother ’s story. In her story, the father is a heroic Gryffindor. Even if he is not the strongest, he is fearless, even when facing the person who did n’t even mention his name Never been afraid.
Peter can hear from the tone of her mother, she is proud and proud of her father.
"Gryffindor, Gryffindor, Gryffindor, I want to go to Gryffindor, I want to have the courage, I am a brave person!" Peter shouted loudly at Sorting Hat, "I want to change the timid and cowardly myself, I To become the same champion(s) as my father, I have to be respected, and I cannot let my mother down! "
"Gryffindor ?!" Sorting Hat's voice is slightly surprised, "You said you are going to Gryffindor, well, this may not be the best choice, but I hope you can find it in the long road ahead That courage buried deep inside. "
"Gryffindor!"
The Pettigrew Peter under the chair smiled happily. It was the most glorious moment in his life. He seemed to hear Sorting Hat once again shouting his choice to everyone with a loud voice, and he let Buddha watch again When the mother looked at herself with satisfaction.
But his smile quickly solidified. Sorting Hat was right. He was not suitable for Gryffindor. All he got in this House was mocking.
Everyone laughed at him because he was not brave enough. Hogwarts studies made him feel pressure. He found that there was no one course that he was good at. The professors looked at themselves without feelings other than disappointment. He left his mother for himself. The requirements are getting farther and farther away.
He did not find the courage in this House , he found himself more and more ordinary and inferior.
Ca n’t go on like this, he needs someone to help himself.
Peter quickly found the target. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin are the best three of his class. The three of them are always radiant in small groups, maybe they need a follow-up.
Yes, you can play this role perfectly.
Fortunately, they accepted themselves. Pettigrew Peter once felt the expectation and happiness for this. He thought he could be as good as them. No, at least he could become a sense of existence and become proud of his mother, right? !
For this sense of existence and pride, Peter is willing to endure everything.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a member of this small group, he is a friend of James, Sirius and Lupin.
But only Pettigrew Peter knows that he is just a follower, that's all.
James regards him as an object that can show off his Quiddich talent at any time. His existence is only to better support the courage and fearlessness of Sirius. Even the werewolf Lupin, he looked down on himself.
Yes, the three of them never regarded themselves as friends, at best they were only companions, but more often, he was still a follower who he could call at will.
Cowardly to humble, humble enough to be ignored, I am afraid this is also everyone's idea.
But Peter was satisfied for a time. He did n’t ask to stand in the middle of the stage, which attracted everyone ’s attention.
As long as an inconspicuous position in the corner is enough for him.
He may not have found the courage he had always dreamed of in this ancient House , but he relied on other ways to reap the strength and honor he needed. Although not much, at least he would not let his mother feel disappointed again.
Hope for courage and chasing power, there is no exclusion.
The seven-year Hogwarts career finally made Peter understand that what he needs is not brave courage but colossal strength.
If his father used to have that power, he would die that way, and his life would not be so miserable for his mother.
Strong power, this is what he has been looking for.
After graduation, his three companions wanted to join the Order of the Phoenix against Voldemort, Peter originally wanted to refuse, because he knew the strength of the two sides very well. But he did not dare. He was used to obeying the orders of three other people in the small group.
He dare not say no to his companions, it also requires strong courage, he has never had such a thing. Besides, he was also afraid of disappointing his mother. He knew that his mother wanted to join the Order of the Phoenix.
Mother ’s expectations for himself have always made Peter feel pressure, but until that moment, he found that this pressure has become a heavy burden, so that he can not breathe.
Pettigrew Peter remembers the days when James, Sirius, and Lupin were happy that the four of them had thwarted the Voldemort's conspiracy again, he felt a little more fear for it.
He can feel the anger of Dark Lord. He can feel the hatred of the person who did n’t even mention the name for his four people. It was like an endless nightmare.
Ca n’t go on like this, Pettigrew Peter ca n’t see the benefits of continuing to fight against Voldemort, even if he risked his life to do these things, but only James, Sirius and Lupin will be honored.
Not to mention that Dumbledore is gradually aging and his power is declining; while Voldemort is in the sky, his strength and power are becoming stronger every day.
It's time to choose your allegiance camp. For a weak person, the most important thing is not to do earth-shattering big things, but to make a wise choice.
He ca n’t be as stupid as he did for his father, and died silently for Dumbledore. This stupid courage has no meaning except to leave a heavy burden and sad sorrow to his wife and children.
He wants to choose his own destiny, he wants to gain strong power.
Dark Lord has promised him that as long as he unifies magic circle, he will gain the power, power and status that he had never imagined before.
Although the methods are different, as long as there are these, the mother will be proud of herself again.
As for the guilt and self-blame that betrayed his companion, Peter has never felt this way.
Anyway, in their eyes, they are just a follower, always.
