Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 335 The Truth Revealed (Second Update)

"Harry, calm down, calm down. I think Hermione is right, he can't die yet!"

Seeing this, Ron also stepped forward and hugged Harry to prevent him from trying to take back the wand and kill Pettigrew.

"Ron, even if he is Scabbers, I can't let him go!"

Harry struggled to break free from Ron's embrace, but Ron had a slight advantage in both height and strength.

Ron struggled to pin Harry to the ground, then shouted back:

"Harry, knowing he was Pettigrew only made me feel disgusted, but you'll regret killing him now!"

Under the influence of the truth serum, Little Pettigrew has just recounted everything that happened back then.

It turns out that back then, because Voldemort was so powerful, Pettigrew felt that the faint light could no longer suppress the darkness, so the cowardly Pettigrew secretly joined Voldemort's ranks and became an undercover agent.

Later, Sirius, fearing that his role as the Secret Keeper would be too obvious, persuaded James to secretly switch the Secret Keeper identity with the unnoticed Pettigrew, while he himself went to attract Voldemort's attention.

As a result, after Pettigrew became the Keeper of the Secret, he immediately led Voldemort to Harry's family, leading to the deaths of both Harry's parents. At the same time, Voldemort was also killed by the backlash from the magic on Harry.

Sirius Black realized Sirius Pettigrew's betrayal and chased him to a Muggle street. Sirius Pettigrew had a sudden idea. He used the Explosion Charm to destroy the entire Muggle street and cause chaos. Then he shouted that Sirius Black was a traitor, cut off one of his fingers, and transformed into a rat to escape by cutting off his tail.

Sirius Black has dared not show his face in recent years for two reasons: first, only his death could confirm Sirius's identity as a Death Eater; and second, he fears retaliation from the Death Eaters who did not join Azkaban.

Because in the eyes of those unsuspecting Death Eaters, it was because of him that Voldemort died.

At the same time, he chose to infiltrate the Weasley family in the hope of learning about the wizarding world. If there were any signs of Voldemort's return, he could immediately capture Harry and hand him over to Voldemort, thereby regaining Voldemort's favor.

This is why Harry was so angry after hearing the truth.

If it weren't for Pettigrew's betrayal, his parents wouldn't have died, he wouldn't have become an orphan, and he wouldn't have lived as a dependent for so many years. He must have envied Hermione and Ron for having a complete family.

Even when he first saw the Mirror of Erised on Christmas Day in first grade, he saw a picture of a family living happily together.

"You're right, I can't kill him. I need him to save my godfather!"

After hearing Hermione and Ron's words of advice, Harry finally calmed down.

Despite growing up in a terrible family with his aunt and uncle, Harry is kind-hearted by nature. Rather than killing Pettigrew for revenge, he wants to save his godfather Sirius Black.

"Killing him is definitely out of the question, but I think with Mr. Peter's plump physique, he should be able to take a few beatings without much trouble!"

Jerry, who had been silent the whole time, looked at Pettigrew, who was letting out a sigh of relief, and offered his suggestion.

Harry's eyes lit up at the suggestion, while Ron and Hermione exchanged a glance and turned away in unison, clearly agreeing with Jerry's proposal.

Moments later, a scream erupted from the grove!

Evening, the headmaster's office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore and the group of school professors, looking at the guy who was tied up like a dumpling, his face bruised and swollen, barely recognizable, turned to the composed Jerry, the somewhat embarrassed Harry, and the barely smiling Hermione and Ron and asked:

"Is this really Peter Pettigrew?"

"Yes, that's Peter Pettigrew. You can confirm it by having Mrs. Pomraporn use healing magic to treat the wounds on his face!"

Jerry stepped forward and smiled.

"Headmaster, he really is Little Petrarch!"

At this moment, Professor Lu Ping walked out from the crowd with a serious expression.

As his closest friend back then, even though Little Pettigrew has been beaten to a pulp, he still recognized him at a glance.

"Now that it's confirmed that it's Mr. Peter who died twelve years ago, can you explain how this happened?"

With Professor Lupin's confirmation, there was no need to waste time, so Dumbledore got straight to the point.

Ten minutes ago, Jerry, Harry, and the other two dragged Peter Pettigrew back to the castle and, in full view of everyone, went up to the eighth floor, saying that Sirius Black was innocent and that they had found the dead Peter Pettigrew.

Now, he really wants to know what's going on.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron all looked at Jerry, who coughed, stepped forward, took out the Marauder's Map, and began to repeat the explanation he had given to the three of them earlier.

However, he used subtle language to conceal the part about using the Truth Potion, instead making it seem like Pettigrew himself had told the story, and then altered Pettigrew's memories using the Oblivion Charm and the False Memory Charm.

The Ministry of Magic has strict regulations regarding the use of Truth Potion; it is generally only permitted during interrogations. Jerry's unauthorized use as a student is certainly against the rules.

As for why Peter would reveal the truth from back then, maybe he lost his mind. Anyway, as long as he is brought to Dumbledore, Dumbledore can use Legilimency to verify it, or he can be sent to the Ministry of Magic, where they can also use Veritaserum to verify it.

When the truth came out, the scene erupted in uproar, and all the professors' eyes immediately showed anger, especially Hagrid, Lupin, and Snape.

If Dumbledore hadn't been there, Jerry felt that Pettigrew would have been physically and magically torn into countless pieces by the three of them in no time.

Hagrid had a very good relationship with Harry's family, and his feelings for Harry were more like those of a father and son. Lupin was best friends with James, Black, and Peter.

As for Snape, he didn't care about James's life or death, or Black's innocence. What he cared about was that if Pettigrew hadn't brought Voldemort with him, his beloved Lily wouldn't have died.

"I see, no wonder. Well then, Mr. Carmen, Mr. Potter, Ms. Granger, and Mr. Weasley, you four did a very good job."

This is very important. I need to contact Minister Fudge now and then take Pettigrew to the Ministry of Magic for a second confirmation so we can use him to get Mr. Black back from Azkaban as soon as possible!

Dumbledore had suspected Sirius Black was a traitor back then, but at the time the evidence was overwhelming, and Sirius Black thought that Peter Pettigrew was dead and was imprisoned in Azkaban in a state of self-blame and depression, so there was no way to confirm it.

This is why, even though he knew Sirius might be hiding in the secret passage under the Willow Tree, he didn't go to capture him.

You should know that the secret passage was created by him for Lu Ping back then, and the willow tree that he hit was also transplanted by him.
