Chapter 69: Peter Pettigrew's Ugly Face

The Great Hall was silent as death.

Everyone looked at what was happening in the field in astonishment.

Professor Lupin attacked a pet rat in public, Professor Snape stepped in to stop it, and as a result, a little-known little wizard appeared and protected Professor Lupin.

Afterwards, a shocking secret was revealed, suspecting that someone else killed Harry's parents back then.

Then came the appearance of Sirius, and the appearance of Peter Pettigrew.

Peter Pettigrew stood there trembling, his eyes full of horror and despair.

Dumbledore was standing here; even with heaven-reaching skills, he couldn't escape anymore.

"Headmaster! Headmaster! Save me!"

"Back then, Sirius leaked the secret and then used Transfiguration to permanently imprison me in the body of a rat!"

"He wants to kill me again now! Save me, Headmaster!!"

Peter Pettigrew suddenly shouted desperately, his voice sharp and ear-piercing, making everyone frown.

And he splashed all the dirty water on Sirius.

This sounded reasonable at first glance, but after careful scrutiny, it was very unreasonable.

After turning into a rat, if he still had self-awareness, he could have sought help long ago, such as writing with his hand dipped in ink.

But if he didn't have self-awareness, how did he figure out the situation and seek help from Dumbledore as soon as he appeared?

Just hearing this, Sirius was immediately furious.

"Peter!! You damn bastard! You killed James and Lily!!"

Sirius roared, raising his foot to kick over.

But he was directly bound by Dumbledore with a wave of his hand.

Similarly bound was Peter Pettigrew.

"Peter!! Do you dare to sign an Unbreakable Vow with me! Swear that neither of us is allowed to lie, and then tell the truth about that year!!"

Although Sirius was bound, his expression was still wide-eyed, roaring loudly at Peter Pettigrew.

Hearing this, Peter Pettigrew's face turned pale instantly, not knowing how to speak.

Sign an Unbreakable Vow?

This Sirius is not stupid.

Just this attitude alone could greatly increase Sirius's winning chances.

Peter Pettigrew's ugly face was exposed without a doubt.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Peter Pettigrew's fear and panic were almost overflowing.

Dumbledore also narrowed his eyes, having already made a decision in his heart.

Peter Pettigrew's lips trembled.

He wanted to open his mouth to sophistry, but found that he couldn't even make the most basic sound.

Even if the little wizards were stupid, they guessed a clue; this seemed to be a confrontation scene.

Sirius is suspected of being framed?

The gazes around fell on Peter like blades, each line of sight full of questioning.

Seeing this, Sirius was also burning with anger.

"Peter, you coward!!"

"You killed James and Lily and you still don't dare to admit it!!"

Peter Pettigrew's face became paler and paler; he knew he was beyond saving.

The ceiling of the wizarding world was standing in front of him.

Even Voldemort coming wouldn't be able to save him.

Slowly, this despair turned into madness.

"Heh, hehe, hehahahaha!"

"No! Sirius!"

"You killed James and Lily!!"

"If it weren't for your cleverness, insisting on making me the Secret-Keeper, they wouldn't have died at all!"

"You killed them, hahahaha!!"

Peter Pettigrew laughed crazily, his laughter carrying desperate madness.

His words made Sirius feel cold all over, trembling with anger, but he couldn't find an excuse to refute.

A trace of pain flashed in Sirius's eyes, his teeth chattering, almost biting his teeth to pieces.

"And you, Remus!"

"At that time, everyone was suspecting you were a traitor! Only they didn't suspect me!"

"Just because you are..."

Peter Pettigrew continued to laugh crazily, about to say Professor Lupin's werewolf identity.

But Dumbledore was quick-eyed and fast-handed, waving his wand, a Silencing Curse, making Peter Pettigrew unable to make a sound.

Many people were stunned; why did it stop suddenly, what is Professor Lupin?

A few people also had guesses in their hearts, but didn't say them out.

And Sirius also heard his meaning, no longer silent, immediately roared and refuted.

"No!! We never suspected Remus!"

"Whether it was me, or James, or Lily, we never suspected Remus!"

"At that time, because of the Order of the Phoenix mission, he was thousands of miles away, and we couldn't tell him about this in time."

"It was clearly you who went to inform immediately after becoming the Secret-Keeper, so we didn't have time to tell him!"

Hearing Sirius's words, Professor Lupin showed a relieved smile.

Although Peter Pettigrew couldn't make a sound, his expression was still a crazy smile, but gradually, it turned into powerlessness.

He knew he had nowhere to escape.

Now the truth is out, but the air is still filled with a heavy atmosphere.

Dumbledore didn't expect such a situation to happen.

Although Sirius proved his innocence, he also knelt down dejectedly.

Peter Pettigrew's words just now deeply stung the deepest guilt and pain in his heart.

Professor Lupin patted him on the shoulder.

Everyone was immersed in the farce just now.

Some people still didn't know what happened after a long time.

Some people were sorting out the information from those words just now.

Harry also found a lot of talk about his parents from those words just now.

Afterwards, the farce finally ended.

Dumbledore appeased the many students present and let the students go back to the dormitory to rest early.

The school will handle the next things.

Harry wanted to chase and ask about the ins and outs of the matter, but was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

Promised that after everything settled down, he would give Harry an answer.

As for John, he was also taken away.

Who let him participate in the chaos at the beginning.

Inside the Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore looked at the three people in front of him speechlessly.

Sirius sat dejectedly in the chair, Lupin looked calm, and John was walking around like a curious baby.

Dumbledore sighed helplessly: "Before you took this action, couldn't you have come to discuss it with me first..."

Just now Professor Lupin had told Dumbledore everything that happened.

So Dumbledore knew the ins and outs of the matter.

After all that, it was because of a first-year freshman who accidentally became a bridge between Sirius and Lupin, allowing them to meet and tell the truth.

In the end, it was also his idea to explode it directly in front of everyone.

The effect was indeed very good.

Peter Pettigrew confessed, and Sirius was innocent.

Some things he didn't want to tell Harry for the time being were also known to him.

If it weren't for his quick reaction, Lupin's werewolf identity would have been exposed.

Dumbledore didn't mean to blame them, just couldn't help but want to complain.

"Gaw!!"

At this moment, the phoenix Fawkes in the office suddenly screamed.

Then the next moment it burned directly, turning into ashes.

John looked at Fawkes, who had turned into ashes in front of him in astonishment, and looked at Dumbledore at a loss.

He was still clutching a handful of phoenix tail feathers in his hand.

Dumbledore: "......"

This unlucky child had been mentioned by Minerva and Filius, a student who was a bit reckless, curious, but very talented.

Now this recklessness and curiosity, he had indeed witnessed it with his own eyes.

"That... Headmaster, I didn't mean it, I just saw its feathers were a bit loose and wanted to help him pull them out..." John lowered his head obediently, saying timidly.

If Dumbledore hadn't seen the handful of tail feathers in John's hand, he would have almost believed this ghost story. ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
