Werewolf and Wormtail
Chapter 148 Werewolf and Wormtail
Although Wormtail Peter Pettigrew was petrified and unable to move, his little eyes were still rolling around, looking for a chance to escape.
"He... is he really a person?"
Ron couldn't believe it.
When he saw Peter Pettigrew's skin, which was as gray as mouse fur, he felt like he was about to vomit.
He had deep feelings for Scabbers, but had no feelings for the bald wizard who turned into Scabbers. Ron even felt creepy when he thought about him sleeping in the same bed with Scabbers every night.
Harry had been watching as a spectator, but he suddenly noticed that Wormtail's eyes swept over him several times, as if he wanted to say something to him, and he felt a little strange.
There was pleading and hope in those eyes, as if Harry could definitely save himself.
"Do you know Peter Pettigrew?" Hermione asked Percy. "Who is he? Why did he hide in your house as a mouse?"
Harry noticed that Percy glanced at him, then looked away and said, "I heard his name when I was a kid..."
"How come we didn't know?" Fred and George asked in unison.
Percy rolled his eyes, "You were only three or four years old at the time, what would you know?"
"Who the hell is he?" Ron asked, looking at Peter Pettigrew with disgust.
"he is……"
Percy was interrupted by Vader before he could finish his words.
"If you want to tell a story, please wait a moment."
Wade poured a bottle of light green potion into Peter Petillo's mouth and said, "I'm going to take this man away for a while."
"Where are you taking him?" Hermione asked. "What did you give him to drink?"
"A sedative," Wade said. "It will make him drowsy and weak, so he won't escape again if he's not careful."
Wade knew that they were able to capture Peter Pettigrew because they had the advantage of being in the dark while the enemy was in the open.
Peter Pettigrew didn't know that his identity was exposed. As long as he still held on to a glimmer of hope to hide himself, he would never return to his original form under Dumbledore's nose.
He could only move as a mouse and exert only the power of a mouse, so several little wizards were able to catch him.
It was like in the plot, he was caught by Ron's tail and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't escape.
But after his identity was exposed, if he got the wand, none of the Weasleys would be his opponent. Even Wade was not sure if he could keep him.
"Wait, Gray." Percy stopped him and said, "We should hand him over to Dumbledore. This man... this man is a well-known... sacrificed hero..."
"Hero?" Ron frowned: "What do you mean?"
"I know." Wade looked Percy in the eyes and said, "Mr. Weasley, I know who he is. I will hand him over to Dumbledore, but in an hour."
Percy was stunned. "Why?"
"If you don't understand anything, don't give so many opinions." Fred pushed his brother aside impatiently and said to Wade: "Just do what you want to do... I believe in you!"
"Me too." George raised his hands. "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have found him! I'm sure you had your reasons for doing this."
Vader smiled and nodded.
Although Percy still seemed to disagree, Vader didn't really care about their opinions.
If only the Weasley twins could assist him in his plans.
Ideally, they would be able to get Peter Pettigrew out of the Gryffindor common room without attracting anyone's attention.
But causing a disturbance and bringing in people who were not part of the plan, as long as they were not professors, would only add a little trouble.
If Percy and Ron continued to block him, he wouldn't mind taking them down.
Wade used a levitation spell to bring Peter Pettigrew to the side where they usually practiced spells. With a wave of his wand, a huge curtain unfolded, dividing the umbrella house into two halves, blocking out sight and sound.
"Zoe."
Wade said softly. With a snap, Zoe appeared with the Vanishing Cabinet.
"Mr. Weed Grey, Zoe is ready."
"thank you for your help."
Wade dragged Peter Pedillo into the closet, he smiled at the elf and whispered, "See you in an hour, Zoe."
With a "clang" sound, everything went dark in front of my eyes, and then it became bright.
Lupin opened the cupboard door.
"Weide, it's not time for class yet, why are you suddenly..."
Lupin's voice stopped abruptly.
He stared at Peter Pettigrew, and his face suddenly became empty and pale.
"…Peter?"
He said in a very soft voice.
——When a friend who you thought was already dead suddenly appears before you, should you be relieved or angry?
In just one or two seconds, Lupin's expression changed in a way that was difficult to describe in words.
Vader looked at his violently contracted pupils and flaring nostrils, and knew that Lupin had figured out what had happened in the past.
For a moment he bared his teeth like a wolf, as if he wanted to bite Peter Petillo's neck.
But then, Lupin saw Vader, and he forced himself to calm down.
"This man...where did you find him? How did you catch him?" Lupin asked in a trembling voice.
"Come with me. I don't want to explain it again." Wade came out of the closet with Peter Petillo and asked, "Is Mr. Marchionne here?"
Lupin's eyes were glued to Peter, and after a while he answered: "He's here. He and the people he brought... are in the living room..."
"Great," Wade said, "I promised the others to send him back in an hour."
He pulled the crystal bottle from his pocket and said, "Veritaserum. I think you know how to use it."
Lupin looked at the truth serum, then at Vader: "When did you know all this?"
"After I saw Peter Pettigrew's name, I looked up some information," Wade said vaguely.
Well, I read a book called "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
"name?"
"Do you know the Marauder's Map?"
Lupin nodded, feeling that he understood what Vader meant.
As the inventor of the Marauder's Map, he certainly knew that the map would display the names of everyone within the boundaries of Hogwarts.
Wade probably got the map and accidentally saw Peter Petillo's name, realizing that this was not his classmate. So he looked up the information and deduced the truth of the year.
Just like the thoughts that were coming to his mind at this moment.
Lupin poured three drops of truth serum into Peter Pettigrew's mouth, then carried his former friend to the living room.
"Don't come with me, Vader," Lupin said calmly. "This is not a situation where you should show up."
In the living room, the sound of Marchionne chatting and laughing could be heard faintly, and the light coming through the crack in the door looked warm and bright.
Lupin seemed to be shrouded in shadow. He looked back at Wade and said, "Stay here until I come back."
There was a gleam of hatred in his eyes.
Staying up late to update, thanks to Shui_Lan for becoming the second leader of this book!
