The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 227
In the Hogwarts principal's office, a short, middle-aged man stood in the middle of the office blankly, surrounded by a group of people.

"Okay, Peter, tell me what happened that year?" Director Burns asked her question.

Peter took a deep, trembling breath, and spoke in a dead, flat tone.

"Because Sirius gave me the identity of the Potters' secret keeper for safety reasons, and he declared himself to be the secret keeper to distract the pursuers. I found the Dark Lord immediately after becoming the secret keeper, and sent I told him the secret about the Potter family, and I could have won an unprecedented reward for it, but the Dark Lord missed it. Black has been chasing me after learning that I betrayed the Potters."

Hearing this, Lupine looked a little agitated, giving the impression that he was about to rush up and beat Peter.But Mr. Weasley next to him stopped him.Ryan turned his attention to Professor Snape, only to find that although Professor Snape looked calm, his clenched fists and slightly trembling body showed the anger in his heart.

Peter took another deep breath at this time, and continued to speak in a flat voice.

"I was chased down a Muggle street and couldn't escape, so I just blew up half the street and turned into a mouse to escape along the blown sewer. After that, I was a pet in a wizarding family. to today."

After hearing this, Mr. Weasley covered his face in annoyance: "God, I really thought it was just a mouse when I picked him up in the garden, I swear I will never put these messy things in the future again." The things are brought home." Mrs. Weasley next to him patted him on the back to comfort him.

"Since you have taken refuge with the mysterious man, why haven't you harmed him when you lived in the same house with Harry these past few years?" Director Burns asked an important point that everyone was concerned about. He fell silent and began to listen.

"Because the Dark Lord heard that the situation was very bad after he failed to kill Harry that day, so at this time I would put myself in if I hurt Harry. So I can only stay quietly in a wizard's family to listen to information, I will dedicate Harry to the Dark Lord only after I am sure that the Dark Lord is really coming back. After all, my mistakes made many Death Eaters hate me. I can only keep myself in front of the Dark Lord. "

"Why did you betray Potter and Lily? They regarded you as a friend." Lupine finally couldn't bear to ask at this time.Burns frowned at this interruption of her interrogation, but said nothing.

"Friends, do you really think I'm a friend?" Peter's tone fluctuated at this moment, which seemed to have stimulated him a lot, "Both Potter and Black come from noble pure-blood families, you study well at school." It’s the prefect again. Only I’m nothing, and I follow you like a little follower. You always say that I’m too timid, even if I try hard to integrate into the small group, but you keep ignoring me, no matter what I do Whatever you say, you will just ignore it."

"But—but this is not the reason for you to make the Potters pay with their lives." Lupine said a little puzzled.

"Why not? After graduation, you took me and the Dark Lord's men to fight without asking me. The Dark Lord arrived in the first battle, and two Aurors fell with a wave of his hand. Fortunately, that time The Dark Lord didn't continue to hunt us down before he escaped. You guys seemed very excited after the battle, but I was really scared. I really don't want to feel the feeling of dying again, so I have to find a way to live go down."

"So you choose to be the lackey of the mysterious man?" Director Burns asked seriously at this time.

"Then what else can I do, I just want to live, I don't want to die. But Potter and the others have been pulling me to fight on the front line against the Dark Lord. Several times, the Dark Lord himself has appeared to let our people There were many casualties, and the well-trained Aurors were vulnerable to the Dark Lord. So after two or three years of struggling, I found the Dark Lord and begged him not to kill me."

"Then what did you do after joining the mysterious man?" Amelia Borns asked.

"I revealed a lot of valuable information during the one year of taking refuge with the Dark Lord, and he praised me." Having said this, a distorted smile appeared on Peter's face. "Finally, when I told the Dark Lord where the Potters were hiding, he told me that I would be rewarded like never before."

"Just for this, you killed so many people." Lupine roared out of control.

"There is no benefit in rejecting the Dark Lord, but as long as I obey him, I will gain unprecedented power. For example, the curse that blew up half the street, I just told him a few names and he gave me it."

"Don't you know that the fight against the most evil villain in history is to save innocent lives, Peter! This is more important than strength and lives." Lupine seemed to have calmed down a little, and he spoke in a hoarse voice. Speaking to Peter.

"You don't understand!" Peter Pettigrew returned to his previous calm tone. "He will kill me, Lupine! I just want to live. Not to mention he gave me powers."

"Okay, now the facts have been clarified." Director Burns reached out his hand to stop Lupine who wanted to say anything. "I know you were friends before, but now we have important things to do."

After speaking, she took the record from Percy and looked at it, and signed her name at the end.

"You're Percy, right? This transcript is pretty good." Hearing Burns' praise, Percy smiled a little excitedly and nodded violently, almost throwing off his glasses.

However, Bones just said something politely, and then said to Professor Dumbledore: "Mr. Principal, the situation is now very clear. The previous crimes were committed by Peter, but he planted it on Sirius .I would like to ask you to go with me to the Ministry of Magic to witness the redress of this case."

"Of course, of course. I'm glad to see that an innocent man will be free from the bad name that has been cast upon him." With that said Dumbledore stood up. "I think we can use the fireplace in the office to get there."

After that, Professor Dumbledore and Director Burns took Peter, who was tightly bound, to the Ministry of Magic.Before he left, he said to Ryan and Percy: "Thank you for your contributions to this matter, but this matter will not be made public until the Ministry of Magic discusses it, so please keep it a secret for now."

Both Ryan and Percy nodded quickly in agreement, and Dumbledore left after a burst of green flames.Everyone also left the office separately.

At the door, Ryan met the Weasley family of three. Arthur Weasley took the initiative to shake hands with Ryan and thanked him: "Thank you so much this time. I heard Percy tell you about your help this time. Our family owes you a favor."

"You're welcome. After all, your sons and I are friends. Isn't it right for friends to help each other?" Ryan said modestly.
