Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 329 The real murderer is Pettigrew Peter!!

“Since Black can perform the Animagus Transfiguration, why didn’t he use this method to escape from Azkaban Prison sooner? Wouldn’t he like life in Azkaban? ”

“So, what is it that prompted a prisoner who had been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than a decade to risk his life to escape from Azkaban?”

Toby said.

“Well, yes, there must be some reason for this.”

Dumbledore also nodded and said in a deep voice, in fact, he had also thought about this problem, but he just couldn’t understand that a prisoner who had been locked up in Azkaban for more than ten years suddenly escaped from prison.

If there was no reason for this, he would not believe it.

“It seems that you should know the reason for this, so tell me about it.”

“Professor Dumbledore, about why Black escaped from prison, it is about the old case that has been involved for more than ten years, that is, the case where Black was arrested.”

Toby said.

“That case! Black is said to have killed a dozen Muggles and blew up a street, killing even his good friend Pettigrew Peter. ”

Dumbledore recalled that he was not present at the time of the case, and all he knew was the answer given by the Ministry of Magic.

“Professor Dumbledore, in that case, it seems that only one finger of Pettigrew Peter was found at that time, so the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic determined that Peter Pettigrew was killed by Black.”

Toby said.

“557 Yes, only one finger of Pettigrew Peter was found, and the Aurors also believed that Peter Pettigrew had been blown up by Black.”

Dumbledore nodded and said.

“I have a question about this, since Peter Pettigrew was killed by Black, have any other fragments of his body been found at the scene? It can’t be blown to ashes, right? ”

Toby said.

“Toby, what do you mean?”

Dumbledore frowned.

“Since fingers can be preserved, then it makes no sense that other fragments of his body cannot be preserved, since there are no fragments of his body at the scene.”

“So, is Peter Pettigrew really dead?”

Toby’s gaze also looked directly at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was shocked, hearing what Toby said, the things that he had ignored in the past were gradually recalled by him.

“yes, why is there only one finger left and no other corpse fragments, is Pettigrew Peter really dead?”

Dumbledore muttered to himself in his heart, he seemed to understand something.

“Peter Pettigrew used to be Sirius, Harry’s father and their good friends, since Sirius and Harry’s father will both transform Animagus, will Pettigrew Peter too?”

Toby said.

“Did you say…”

Dumbledore was a little surprised.

“Yes, Professor Dumbledore, you guessed right, Sirius once told us that Pettigrew Peter would also transform Animagus, and his transformation was done with their help.”

Toby said.

“So, what is his transfiguration?”

Dumbledore asked seriously.

“It’s a mouse, and his identity you probably wouldn’t have thought of, Pettigrew Peter turned into a mouse and hid in the Weasleys for more than ten years, and he was Ron’s pet.”

Toby said.

“How is this possible, how can Spotted be a wizard!”

Ron exclaimed, he was in disbelief.

“Ron, calm down, think about it, your pet mouse is just an ordinary mouse, and the ordinary mouse only has a lifespan of one to three years, but it has lived for a few years, more than ten years, right?”

“No matter how long-lived rats live, they can’t live for so many years.”

Hermione said.

“Also, Ron, Spotted is missing a toe, and Peter Pettigrew is missing a finger, do you think these are coincidences?”

Harry couldn’t help but say.

“But… But…… How could Spotted be a wizard? ”

Ron still couldn’t believe that the pet he spent with day and night would be a wizard, and he couldn’t accept it.

“Toby, is what you said true?”

Dumbledore said seriously, if that mouse was really Pettigrew Peter, then the matter would be complicated and serious.

“Of course, Professor Dumbledore, the reason why Black escaped from prison is also related to Peter Pettigrew, because he saw this newspaper, and therefore he learned that Peter Pettigrew is still alive.”

Toby took the newspaper out.

“Professor Dumbledore, you see, this picture was taken by the Weasleys in front of the pyramids of Egypt, and Ron also has his pet spot on his shoulder.”

Dumbledore held up his glasses and looked at the photo, which was indeed missing a toe.

“So, Black escaped from prison because he saw Pettigrew Peter, but this doesn’t mean anything, maybe Black knows the news that Pettigrew Peter is still alive and intends to really kill him.”

Dumbledore said that Sirius Black is known to be Voldemort’s loyal lackey, he betrayed the Potters, resulting in the tragic deaths of the Potters, while Pettigrew Peter was the hero against Voldemort.

“Then, Professor Dumbledore, if I say, in fact, the real traitor is Peter Pettigrew, and it was he who betrayed the news of Harry’s parents to Voldemort, which led to the tragic death of the Potters.”

Toby said, and Harry on the side heard this, his eyes also red.

“What do you say? The real traitor is Pettigrew Peter! ”

Dumbledore said in shock.

“This is what Sirius himself told us, when the Potters placed a fierce loyalty spell on their safe house, and they wanted Sirius to act as a secret, but Sirius was worried that he was too noticeable.”

“So, he suggested that the Potters temporarily replace the Secret with Pettigrew Peter, while he was outside to attract the attention of Voldemort and his Death Eaters.”

“After all, Peter Pettigrew has never been very noticeable.”

“However, no one expected that Peter Pettigrew had already defected to Voldemort, and he leaked the news of the Potters’ safe house to Voldemort, which caused a series of tragedies later.”

Toby said.

“Is this what Black said? Do you think what he said is true? ”

Although Dumbledore was very surprised, he still had some doubts.

“We believe Sirius won’t lie to us, and there’s no reason for him to lie to us, besides, besides, it wasn’t him who actually killed a dozen Muggles and blew up a street, we suspect it wasn’t him, but Pettigrew Peter.”

“First of all, since Pettigrew Peter is not dead, why did he hide for more than ten years, and never came out, and when he heard that his mother died, he did not appear.”

“In recognition of Pettigrew Peter’s exploits, he was awarded the Order of Sir Merlin, and if he appears, he will definitely be followed by the entire wizarding community of the Eagle Country.”

“But he hid it, turned into a mouse, and hid in the Weasley house for more than ten years.”

“If he is afraid of being hunted down by Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but Voldemort has disappeared, most of the Death Eaters under him have been captured, and even if he appears, nothing will happen.”

“But if he was the real culprit in that case, and he was afraid that if that case would be found out, he was the one who killed a dozen Muggles and blew up a street, then he was forgiven for hiding.”

Toby said, picking up the water on the table and taking a sip, moistening his somewhat dry throat.

Dumbledore did not speak, but thought and looked.

“Professor Dumbledore, Sirius is truly innocent.”

Harry couldn’t help but say a word for Sirius.

“Professor Dumbledore, if you have any doubts, you might as well gather all the relevant people and conduct it – testify.”

Toby suggested…
