Chapter 289

Luke stretched his hand and pointed, and the scaly cage disappeared, leaving only a somewhat old and fat mouse.

“You wouldn’t say it is a little dwarf.” Fudge smiled awkwardly, he was a little worried that this would be a farce.

“Minister Fudge, you seem to have overlooked a kind of magic.”

“You mean Animagus?” Snape said it before Professor McGonagall.



As soon as Snape spoke, he, Professor McGonagall, and Lupin took out their wands and looked at the mouse alertly. Especially Lupin knew about Pettigrew’s Animagus, but he always thought Pettigrew was dead, so he didn’t doubt it.

Ron and the Weasleys even showed shocked expressions, but Streaky had been in their house for a long time.

“Yes, Sirius escaped from prison not to hurt Harry, but to protect him. Because he saw a photo of the Weasley family in Egypt in the newspaper and recognized that the mouse in the photo was Peter Pettigrew. Ron and Harry were in the same grade, in the same college, and in the same dormitory. This made Black very worried that Pettigrew would harm Harry, so he escaped from prison.”

Fudge showed a nervous expression when he heard Luke’s words. He gave the newspaper that Sirius read. He didn’t know how Luke knew it.

“Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Kirk, do you know how Sirius escaped from prison?” Bones needs Azkaban for any loopholes.

“The dementor relies on the perception of the person’s feelings to approach people. If he becomes something else, the dementor may not work. As for whether there are other ways, I don’t know.”

“Minister, I think it is necessary to check Azkaban.” Bones understood Luke’s meaning, and there was a suspected illegal Animagus in front of him.

“The inspection will be discussed later. Let’s solve Sirius’s problem first.” Fudge said.

At the moment, many people still have doubts in their hearts. If what Luke said is true, then the Ministry of Magic used the sinner as a hero and sent the innocent to Azkaban.

“It was Peter Pettigrew who betrayed Harry’s parents back then, and he was the Secret Keeper. Pettigrew, if you tell the truth, you may still be alive to stand trial, otherwise, today may be your last day.”

Luke flew out a magic from his fingertips and hit the mouse on the ground. This magic was not powerful, but it also let Little Star know that he had no way out. He had heard too much about Luke.

“There are so many people here. If you don’t show up yourself, don’t blame us for doing it.” He looked at Snape’s expression as a sign of wanting Rage. For one of the murderers who killed Lily, Snape hasn’t yet. The shot has been very restrained.

The fat mouse on the ground began to grow bigger, and his head and limbs changed. In a moment, the original spot became a large humanoid mouse, cowering and wringing his hands.

He did not regain an adult, but was like an enlarged mouse with some more human characteristics.

Everyone looked at the scene in shock.

“Are you… Peter?” Lupin asked uncertainly.

“Ly…Remus…” Peter Pettigrew’s voice was high-pitched, and his eyes glanced around again. “My friend…my old friend…”

“Peter, why did you become like this?” Lupin looked at the little dwarf who had not become a human.

“Me?” Little dwarf noticed that his hand was not a human arm, but a mouse’s limbs.

“I…I, what happened, why did it become like this.” Little Dwarf stared at the changes in his body in horror.

“It may be that you have been a rat for too long and you can’t change it back. This is not the point. Now you need to explain what happened twelve years ago. If you don’t want to tell the truth, I believe Professor Snape and I would love to give it to you. Try his Veritaserum.”

Snape quickly figured out that since Luke had known that Peter Pettigrew was a mouse, he was probably responsible for the current situation.

“What can I do? The Dark Lord… You don’t know… He has weapons you can’t imagine… I’m scared, I’ve never been as brave as you, Remus, and James. I never thought of that. …It’s the person who can’t even mention the name…” Little Dwarf couldn’t check his own situation and became a little hysterical.

“You don’t have to pretend to be pitiful. If you hadn’t taken refuge in Voldemort a long time ago, you would believe you betrayed Harry’s parents with his character? It is estimated that waiting for you will only be a killing curse.” Luke interrupted Dwarf’s explanation. .

“He… he is gaining power everywhere!” Little Dwarf cried, “What good is…what is there to defy him?”

“So you admitted that you took refuge in him, betrayed and killed Harry’s parents, right.” Luke asked.

“Why are you betraying my parents!” Harry yelled. He wanted to step up to question Pettigrew, but was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

“You don’t know!” Little Dwarf wailed, “He will kill me!”

“Now that the truth has come to light, we should let this man who has been dead for twelve years really die. He will not be imprisoned in Azkaban even if Animagus.” Snape stepped up and raised his wand.

“No… don’t…” Little Dwarf cried out in horror, and hurriedly turned and crawled towards Ron.

“Ron… I’m not your good friend… good pet? You won’t let them kill me, Ron, right… You’ll be on my side, won’t you?”

Ron, who had already lifted his body, hid behind his parents, looking very scared.

Dwarf star knelt there, shivering uncontrollably, and slowly turned his head to Harry.

“Harry… Harry… you look exactly like your dad… exactly the same… James wouldn’t want me to be killed… James would understand, Harry… he would be merciful to me…”

Snape and Lupin might be worried that the small dwarf star would burst out and hurt Harry, so they stepped forward and grabbed the small dwarf by the shoulders and threw him to the ground. The dwarf was lying there, convulsing in fear.

“Professor Dumbledore, Minister Fudge, I think things are clear. Pettigrew is the secret of Harry’s parents, but he betrayed them and gave the news to Voldemort.”

“Mr. Kirk… is a mysterious man…” Fudge seemed to be a little afraid of Voldemort.

“Sirius was not present, but it does not prevent the murderer from confessing, what do you think, Ms. Bones?” Luke looked at Bones next to Fudge.

“Although Peter Pettigrew has pleaded guilty, we still need Sirius to come out and confront him. Definitely, we will also return his innocence.” Bones said.

“In that case, the dementors outside should be removed.” The matter of Sirius and Pettigrew is not important. For Luke, the dementors outside are the key.

“We came suddenly today, and we have to go back to the Ministry of Magic to make arrangements. We will send someone to withdraw them tomorrow.” Fudge thought about it and agreed.

Although Fudge didn’t want to admit this fact, Luckily, Luke was half himself, and this matter was resolved internally by the Ministry of Magic. What’s more, it was not his responsibility to catch the wrong person. He hadn’t taken office at that time.
