Chapter 748 Peter's Story

The door of the dormitory was shut heavily, Harry and Ron's voices gradually faded away, and the room fell into a dead silence.

After an unknown amount of time, a mouse crawled out from under the bed, ran to the table and began to nibble on the snack bags, and ate the snacks that Harry and Ron brought back from the Honeydukes candy store.

Scabbers prefers human food to rat food.

This eating style has something to do with Banban being a human.

Yes, the mouse named Scabbers was once a human, not a mouse.

Although he has lived in 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 finally won the First Class Merlin Medal, or Pettigrew Peter is his past.

If someone said that, he must be crazy.

Everyone thinks that Blake is crazy, and Peter also hopes that his former friend is crazy.

However, not only did Blake not drive the dementors crazy, but his mind was so clear that he could even find himself in a newspaper.

After Sirius Black escaped from prison, Peter knew that Black was not crazy, especially he learned from the information he heard from Mr. Weasley that all the signs before Black's escape showed that the other party had found that he was still alive, so he ignored it. All escaped from Azkaban and tried to break into Hogwarts Castle to kill himself.

It was all so crazy, and Sirius Black had tried once, and even though he had failed, Peter knew Sirius Black, and the guy wouldn't let him go that easily.

Hogwarts Castle, which seems to be closely guarded, is not as safe as it appears on the surface. Black knows the location of most of the secret passages in the castle, and can easily pass through the outer guards and enter the castle.

This made Pettigrew Peter always worried, afraid that Black would suddenly appear that day and kill himself.

Even, if Sirius Black’s mind is clearer, he doesn’t have to take the risk of killing Peter, as long as he forces Peter to restore his prototype and let everyone know that Pettigrew Peter is still alive, then he should be in bad luck.

"It's all your fault!"

Peter looked at the photo of the Potters on the bedside table, and the hatred in his heart was slowly growing. He has lived in disguise as a mouse for more than ten years, but how many more than ten years have he lived?

He hated it all.

Looking at the dancing Potter couple in the photo, Peter fell silent.

He remembered that when he was still a student at Hogwarts, the influence of the mysterious man had already spread throughout the entire British wizarding world. Every time the Dark Mark appeared on a house, it meant that someone had been murdered by Death Eaters during one of the darkest times 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 surrender or remain neutral, so those Death Eaters murdered James' relatives in despicable ways.

Infecting people with dragon pox was a popular method of murder in those years. It is said that the only Muggle minister in the British wizarding world died of dragon pox.

At that time, Peter persuaded Potter to take Lily to leave England and stay away from those dangers, but James refused, and even yelled at him: "I don't want to be a coward, and I won't hide. The Mysterious Man can't make my family submit. And don't try to make me succumb, I'll fight them, to the end."

At that time, the power of the mysterious person was simply not something they could fight against.

The four of them joined the Order of the Phoenix, the anti-mysterious organization formed by Dumbledore just after graduating from school.

Actually, Peter didn’t really want to join the Order of the Phoenix, he just wanted to live in peace, but he finally joined the Order of the Phoenix.

Peter hates Potter's so-called bravery. What good is there in fighting the most evil devil in history except losing his own life?

Isn't your own life more important?

Did he intend to put Lily who followed him in danger?

If they die, they don't even have a future, so what's the point.

Everyone said that the mysterious man was afraid of Dumbledore, but the situation was still not optimistic, and Dumbledore didn't 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 ​​trying to save more people, and then fight against the mysterious people together.

But, what does that matter to him? Could it be that in order to save innocent lives, he put his own life on it?

Peter doesn'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 and afraid that Voldemort would appear at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix one day. I was afraid that one day when I went out to perform a mission, I would be caught by the minions of the mysterious man, tortured harshly, and eventually lose my life.

However, the nightmare soon becomes reality!

Voldemort appeared at his door. Fortunately, when Peter returned, 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, perhaps such a thing would not have happened, and his mother would not have been 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 betraying Voldemort would only lead to death.

What shook him, however, was what the Death Eaters had shown him.

Whether it is the Ministry of Magic or the informants that the Order of the Phoenix considers to provide information, many of them are actually Voldemort's people, and his influence spreads all over the British magic world. All this makes Peter feel extremely desperate.

He knew he had no choice.

"Rejected, what good is it? Are you impatient to live?"

Peter Pettigrew did not forget what he said when he passed the message to Ludo Bagman.

Ludo Bagman was obviously much smarter than him, and took advantage of his relationship with August Rookwood to find a job at the Ministry of Magic.

It is impossible to play Quidditch for a lifetime, and it would be better to become a Quidditch coach after retirement, but it is obviously a better choice to enter the Magical Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic.

And he was not branded with the Dark Mark, just like Peter, even if he was finally accused of passing the news for Voldemort, he could still find an excuse for himself.

After that conversation, Peter Pettigrew completely compromised. He also wanted to gain some benefits for himself through Voldemort, as did many wizards who were loyal to Voldemort.

While helping Voldemort collect information about the Order of the Phoenix, Peter did not do his best for it, but only disclosed some less important information to Voldemort.

In fact, Peter did not have access to too important news.

Later, Voldemort knew a certain prophecy, and James' son was the person in the prophecy. After learning that the Potter family was going to hide, Voldemort asked him to be Potter's secret keeper, and promised to be given to him in the future. The Ministry of Magic arranged a good position.

Actually, Peter already knew that even if Voldemort hadn't promised those things, he had no choice.

Voldemort's power is in full swing, the Ministry of Magic has long been infiltrated by Death Eaters, and all the efforts of the Order of the Phoenix are useless.

After he betrayed the Order of the Phoenix and his former friends, he had no other choice, and Peter didn't even have the courage to betray Voldemort.

He doesn't want to die yet.

Everything went smoothly than expected. Peter told James that he was not as brave as Black, Lupine, and James. The situation was getting worse and worse. He was very scared and wanted to hide abroad, but he was very scared. Lupine and Black said he was a coward, so Peter hoped to be the secret keeper of the Potters, and then he could hide openly, where the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters couldn't find him.

James agreed and apologized to Peter.

"It's too late, I can't turn back." Peter murmured as he turned back into a human form, looking at the photo of the Potters.

Black will never give up easily, he will definitely break into Hogwarts Castle again, trying to kill himself.

Before Blake is caught again, he has to play dead again, and it just so happens that the crazy cat has been chasing him, which is a good opportunity for him.

Peter put the few cat hairs he collected on the ground, bit his own palm, smeared the blood on Ron's sheets, and then slipped away as a mouse again.
