Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 389: Ironclad Evidence (Part )
"Return to original form!"

Seeing that he couldn't break free, and looking around to see that only George was chasing him, Pettigrew became frightened and immediately cancelled his Animagus transformation, returning to his human form.

As long as he killed George before Dumbledore and the others arrived, he would still have a chance of escaping.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Pulling out his wand and pointing it at George, he cast the fatal curse without hesitation.

A beam of green light shot upward from the bottom, towards George's chin.

He thought that even Dumbledore would not have time to dodge the Killing Curse at such a close distance.

However, the fact was that George easily dodged the killing curse by just raising his head, and even lifted one of his feet and swung it in the air, and then threw it hard to the ground, causing him to see stars and almost faint.

"You dare to use the killing curse on me? I think you don't want to live anymore!"

George broke Pettigrew's wand with one foot, and then kicked him hard, sending him flying. The force was so great that at least several of Pettigrew's ribs were broken.

In fact, with his current physique as a dragon slayer, Pettigrew's killing curse might not kill him even if it hit him, but it is better not to take some risks.

He went forward and started punching and kicking Pettigrew until he knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy. Only then did he stop.

"I'm telling you, behave yourself for a while, or I can't guarantee that you will be sent to Azkaban alive."

"I am honest, I am absolutely honest"

Pettigrew felt that George at this moment was scarier than Voldemort in the past.

Feeling that it was not bad, George picked up Pettigrew, spread his wings, and flew back to the castle.

It wasn't long before he returned to the lawn where the Whomping Willow was.

At this time, on the lawn, in addition to the original Dumbledore and other school professors, there were also the Minister of Magic Fudge and a group of Aurors, among whom he also saw Tonks.

"It's really Peter Pettigrew!"

Everyone looked at the wizard in George's hand and immediately recognized him as Peter Pettigrew, who had received the First Class Order of Merlin and was posthumously named a heroic wizard.

This also means that what Sirius said is very likely true.

"Why is his face bruised and swollen?"

But then they discovered that Peter Pettigrew was indeed Peter Pettigrew, but his face was obviously much fatter than in the photo, and it was not normal fat, but the fat he got from being beaten.

He walked with a limp, holding his stomach, and vomited blood as soon as he opened his mouth.

"When I found him just now, he attacked me with the Unforgivable Curse, and I hit him a little too hard."

George waved his hand and cast a healing spell without a wand to heal Pettigrew's injuries.

"You damn thing, you traitor, I'm going to kill you!"

Sirius, who had woken up and was tied up, saw Pettigrew and immediately stood up in a rage, ready to attack, but was quickly pinned down by the Aurors.

Pettigrew over there was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

"I think there must be some misunderstanding here, Peter Pettigrew. Sirius said that it was you who defected to the You-Know-Who and then put the blame on him. Is he lying?"

The Minister of Magic, Fudge, stepped forward and asked Pettigrew.

As the Minister of Magic, he really didn't want what Sirius said to be true, because that meant that the Ministry of Magic had made a mistake and imprisoned the real hero in Azkaban for twelve years, making the despicable Pettigrew a hero.

The Ministry of Magic will become the biggest joke in the wizarding world in the future, and he, the Minister of Magic, will be the joke among jokes. "Yes, he is lying. He is the traitor. He must have been taught a few tricks by He Who Must Not Be Named so that he could escape from Azkaban. I am innocent."

When Pettigrew heard the tone of the Minister of Magic, he felt that there seemed to be a chance for him, so he quickly pointed at Sirius and said.

Sirius was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Voldemort? Taught me a few tricks? I'm a traitor? How dare you!
When have I ever flattered someone who is stronger and more powerful than me?

And you, I really regret why I didn't see that you were a traitor from the beginning.

You always like powerful friends so that you can be taken care of by them, right? It used to be us. Me and Remus. And James."

"I am not a traitor, you are the one who is the traitor."

Pettigrew retreated towards Fudge in fear, but kept his mouth shut and refused to admit it.

"If you're not a traitor, then why did you turn into a rat and hide for twelve years instead of being a hero?"

Seeing the stalemate between the two, George immediately raised the key question.

Pettigrew's eyes kept moving:
"That's because I was afraid. I was afraid that Voldemort's men were looking for me. I sent their most capable men to Azkaban."

"A wizard who dared to fight Voldemort, dared to fight Sirius, and was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class for his courage, would hide for twelve years after Voldemort's fall, fearing that his men would find him?"

George couldn't help laughing.

"Then why did you run away, and why did you attack me with the Killing Curse when I found you?"

"I...I ran away because I was afraid that Sirius would take revenge on me. When you showed up, I thought you were in cahoots with Sirius."

Pettigrew was already stuttering as he didn't know how to justify his lies.

The professors in the school and the people from the Ministry of Magic were also looking at Pettigrew with strange eyes. They were not fools, and Pettigrew's explanation was too far-fetched.

In comparison, what Sirius said was more reasonable.

"Severus, I remember you should have some potion to make truth serum, right?"

Dumbledore smiled and looked at Snape, who nodded expressionlessly:

"There's still enough to make two more pairs, just enough to give them each one. I believe after they finish drinking, you'll know who's telling the truth and who's lying."

Although Snape hated Sirius very much, he was not stupid. He knew that Pettigrew was lying as soon as he heard it, and naturally would not help the man who killed Lily.

To be honest, if he wasn't trying hard to restrain himself, he would have wanted to kill Pettigrew just as much as Sirius.

If Pettigrew had not revealed Lily's residence, Lily would not have been found and killed by Voldemort.

"ANIMAGUS!"

When he heard about the truth serum, Pettigrew's pupils shrank and he immediately turned into a mouse and tried to run for his life.

He knew that once he drank the truth serum, nothing would be hidden anymore.

However, George, who had been prepared, saw that Pettigrew was about to run away, so he flashed to Pettigrew's side and stepped on him.

"Now it seems that what Sirius and Professor Lupin said was true, and this guy was lying!"

The Minister of Magic could only nod helplessly upon seeing this. The evidence was irrefutable and he could not say anything more.
