v3 Chapter 125： As long as you can get there

"Mr. Weasley, can you show me your pet mouse?" Dumbledore's voice became more and more kind, but Ron couldn't help but shudder.

"Uh...of course...but—" He stammered something that didn't make sense.

"I know you have too many questions, Mr. Weasley, and I'll answer them all, but for now—"

The front of Ron's robe began to tremble. Scabbers, or Peter Pettigrew, had heard Dumbledore and Ron's conversation a few minutes ago, but luck made him choose to continue hiding in Ron's robes.

Maybe Dumbledore really came to talk to little Ron? He thought so.

Only now did he realize that Dumbledore's real target was actually him. Peter Pettigrew fell into despair. He didn't think he could get away with Dumbledore's hand, I'm afraid it was just a face-to-face, and he would be recognized by those two old friends?

"Of course, of course." Ron trusted Dumbledore very much. He reached into his robes and took a lot of effort to get Scabbers out. Scabbers twisted desperately, and Ron finally pulled it out by the tail.

After Scabbers was taken out, both Lupin and Sirius took a step forward subconsciously. Their eyes were fixed on Banban, and the two seemed to have forgotten to even breathe.

"A mouse, a long-lived mouse," Ron looked at the two of them with a little fear, he hugged his pet mouse and huddled in the corner, looking very helpless, "Nothing special, right? "

Lupin and Sirius confirm Scabbers' identity. Dumbledore's eyes sharpened after passing over Scabber's mutilated claws.

Sirius spoke, and his voice suddenly became hoarse, and it could be seen that he was doing his best to keep himself obediently standing there.

"This is not some kind of mouse, rat."

Ron: ?

Ron was a little confused. Could it be that Banban is a special breed of hamster or vole?

"He's a wizard, an Animagus, and his name is Peter Pettigrew," Lupin said quietly.

"You are crazy...Professor Dumbledore..." He looked at Dumbledore as if asking for help, hoping that he could do justice to himself.

"No one or anything will be wronged here today, Mr. Weasley, give it to me." Dumbledore put his hand into Ron's arms.

Ron's first reaction was to hug his mouse, but he quickly gave up his resistance: let Professor Dumbledore prove it.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open at once. Percy appeared at the door of the office panting, "Professor Dumbledore, please give my brother a chance! I must-"

Before he could finish speaking, a black figure slammed into him head-on, knocking him to the ground. It turned out that Peter Pettigrew took advantage of everyone's distraction by Percy and broke free from Ron's control, unleashing his full potential and rushing out the door.

If only Lupin, Sirius and others were present, Peter might have succeeded. Unfortunately, this is Dumbledore's office.

Peter ran a few steps forward, and found that there was a loud noise behind him, but no one was catching up. There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he seemed to smell freedom. He doesn't think about anything now, he just wants to escape from Dumbledore's office, and then there is the situation of "the sea is wide and the fish leaps into the sky and the birds fly". He could go to the Forbidden Forest to avoid the limelight, and then find a chance to sneak out of Hogwarts in a few days.

After leaving Hogwarts, Peter Pettigrew's life plan is almost the same. For more than ten years, he has been lurking in Weasley's house in order to wait for the best time for the resurrection of his master. He felt that now was the best chance.

After he escaped from Hogwarts, he was heading to Albania - said to be the base of his master, where Lord Voldemort would await his chance to make a comeback. And he, Peter, is the last piece of the puzzle.

After helping Voldemort to complete the resurrection, his status will also undergo earth-shaking changes, and no one can despise him from now on. Peter thought of this, and his mood became extremely comfortable, but he also knew that all this was just a castle in the air, and to achieve it, he needed to escape from the tower where Dumbledore was.

He ran to the end of the stairs, where there was a door, a door to freedom.

Boom! He slammed his head into the wall, hitting all kinds of things, but the stone wall was unmoved, as if there was really only one wall here.

The gate that should have appeared did not appear.

The current Peter completely understood Harry and Ron's mood at King's Cross last year.

He fell into despair: this staircase had no exit, or rather a relentless, cold stone wall.

There were footsteps behind him, and he was lifted up by his tail.

"It's running pretty fast!" Sirius picked up Peter's Banban with red eyes.

"Calm down!" Lupin rushed over, grabbed Sirius, and told him not to make too radical moves. He was really worried now that if Sirius killed Peter, it would be too bad.

After learning the truth at first, Lupin also wanted to tear Peter to pieces. But after calming down, he realized that although killing Peter was cool, it would have one consequence: Sirius' grievance would never be clear. Is it really worth it to let the traitor die with glory, and the innocent Sirius needs to live with the crime?

Lupin was lost in thought.

The result of his thinking is: not worth it. So he needs to stop his good friend and let him not be so impulsive.

"Peter will get the end he deserves." Lupin looked into Sirius's eyes and said earnestly, "You still have a lot of bright futures. It's a pity to abandon you for such a person."

Sirius's expression became a little grim, "Beautiful future? Why didn't I see it, I—"

"At least think about Harry, you are his godfather, how can the godfather be a criminal!" Lupin stretched out his hands and put them on Sirius' shoulders.

The name Harry, UU reading finally made Sirius become rational. Feeling the power from his shoulders, the corner of his mouth grinned.

"It's cheaper for Peter, and I can go to Azkaban to live a life of food and shelter."

Hearing this, Banban struggled desperately.

"Actually, he won't be in too much pain." Lupin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sirius regaining his senses, and said casually.

"Um?"

"Because this guy deserves a kiss from a Dementor," Lupin said with a smile on his face.

Scabbers struggled more intensely.
