Douluo Continent Chat Group: Building My Academy

Chapter 60, Dumbledore Sweeps Away the Fallen Leaves

"Chirp, chirp?"

Stirring himself frantically, Little Pettigrew made a cacophony of chattering noises, moving like a real mouse, even though he was now in human form.

A disguise, a complete disguise! Dumbledore is coming in person, he absolutely cannot…

"The one who betrayed James and Lily wasn't Sirius, it was you, Little Pettigrew."

Dumbledore's voice came through, sounding like a court judgment.

But Pettigrew remained unmoved, his eyes darting around in Ron's direction, and he even twisted his body, trying to get closer to him.

"What... what on earth is going on!?"

Arthur was the first to recover. He immediately grabbed Molly, then led the children away to a distance, staring intently at Pettigrew's face, his voice trembling.

A person who was clearly dead has reappeared before them, and as a pet mouse, with whom they have lived for over a decade!?

Arthur was so shocked that his brain trembled, Molly tried to calm herself down, and Ron and Percy, the two former owners of the stigmata, were even more frightened and turned pale.

Dumbledore pointed his finger again, and invisible magic seemed to form ropes, binding Little Star even more tightly, leaving him with no chance to resist.

"I used some methods to find out what happened in the past."

When Jaime cast the Faithful Charm, I offered to be the Secret Keeper, but he refused, trusting his friend Sirius.

In the public eye, Sirius Black ultimately betrayed James and Lily because, as a member of a pure-blood family, he became Voldemort's servant.

And you, Peter Pettigrew, fought the traitor Sirius Black to protect James and Lily, ultimately losing only half a finger.

If all of this is true, Peter Pettigrew should be a hero, a martyr who received the Order of Merlin First Class, but you are still alive.

After hiding for over a decade, was it out of fear? Fear of Voldemort, or fear of Sirius Black?

Dumbledore's voice was unusually calm as he slowly recounted the story of the past. Little Pettigrew's mind was racing, but he still pretended to be crazy.

Now that Dumbledore has found him, he must have figured out the whole situation. He can't confront him, so he has to play dumb and pretend that he has really gone mad!

"Peter, you have disappointed me. Gryffindor courage is not used here."

Is Little Stark a Gryffindor? He doesn't lack courage, but the source of it is himself.

In the end, his cause of death was also his hesitation when facing Harry.

The friendship was real, the courage was real, and the despicable betrayal was real too.

Sirius knows that everyone might guess he is Jaime's Secret Agent, so in order to better protect Jaime, he decided to do the opposite and have you become the Secret Agent, and you are also their friend.

But you betrayed them, perhaps out of fear that if Voldemort really found you and demanded to know where James was, you would leave first.

Sirius later realizes something is wrong with you, but it's too late; you encounter Hagrid and are misunderstood again.

He was a paranoid kid who believed he had wronged James and should atone for it. He sought revenge on James but James escaped, and when he was finally arrested and imprisoned, he offered no defense whatsoever.

This is the truth as I know it. There is a lot of evidence, but I think the most direct way is to find the person involved.

"So, little dwarf, would you like to come with me to meet Sirius Black in Azkaban?"

!

Little Pettigrew raged again, frantically shaking his body, trying to escape. No, absolutely not, absolutely not letting him see Sirius!

All he wanted was to live, to live well. He had previously been under the protection of James, then Voldemort, and now the Weasleys.

Why, why?

Why did Dumbledore find him?

He took a small cage from his pocket—a magical cage—and turned Sirius back into a mouse, then locked him inside.

Sirius won't respond, but it doesn't matter; Sirius is still alive.

Sometimes, Dumbledore can be frighteningly rational.

Even if Harry's name were put into the Triwizard Tournament, Dumbledore would only ask calmly.

"I'm sorry to have startled you."

Dumbledore looked at the Weasleys and smiled apologetically.

"No, we should be saying thank you."

Arthur stepped forward and cautiously glanced at Scabbers, or rather, Little Pettigrew, who was locked in a cage.

"If it weren't for Headmaster Dumbledore's arrival, we might have continued living with him."

The children remained silent, still terrified by what they had just witnessed. It was at this moment that Dumbledore distributed the candy he had brought.

"Arthur".

"I am here!"

"Write a letter to Minister Fouché in your own name, saying that you, based on some instructions, successfully cooperated with me to uncover a wrongful conviction."

"what?"

Arthur was stunned; he was completely unfamiliar with the ways of officialdom.

Dumbledore winked at him. "With Minister Fudge's arrangements, we can do our jobs much better. After all, we're all from the Ministry of Magic."

"Um, okay?"

Arthur nodded; he should understand.

……

[Dumbledore: Oh, there are quite a few people here now.]

[Flander: Hey, Headmaster Dumbledore, we were just talking about the Bang world and Professor Oak's efficiency. How's it going on your end?]

[Dumbledore: I've caught Little Star Pettigrew. He's given the children quite a fright; they might have nightmares tonight.]

[Bang: The consequences and impact of heroic actions are also crucial.]

[Zeff: But Dumbledore is indeed like that, a stubborn old man.]

[Dumbledore: That's a very apt assessment.]

[Flander: So, what's next, Dumbledore? Are you going to release Sirius?]

Dumbledore: Of course, we should also take him to see Harry. They have suffered a lot over the years, and it is time for them to be reunited.

Although Sirius Black has many problems and may still be an immature youth, I have already made contact with Lupin.

With both of them around, Harry will have a completely new family.

Dumbledore felt deeply apologetic towards these children, because it was his failure to deal with Voldemort in time that led to their plight.

Now, he will change all of this.

Flanders: That's great. Once Voldemort is dealt with, the wizarding world can finally be at peace, and the young wizards can go to school properly.

This is also the world where problems are resolved the fastest!

[Zeff: The wizarding world is still a bit too small, Dumbledore. Have you thought about making contact with the outside world?]

Dumbledore: Perhaps that day will come, but it shouldn't be my turn. Harry, Hermione, Ron... they can all go.

As an elderly person, all I need to do is support them from behind.

[Flander: An old man hailed as the greatest wizard?]

[Dumbledore: Are you talking about me?]
