I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Chapter 400 397. The Truth

Harry didn't stop Black from defending himself.

As Lynn said, at this point, it's no big deal to hear him say a few words, and they can't escape anyway.

"When choosing a secret keeper, I persuaded James not to choose me, because everyone knows that our relationship is so good, like brothers, those Death Eaters will definitely guess it.

So I recommended Peter to James, let Peter be their secret keeper, and I used myself as a bait to lure those Death Eaters to focus on me, James agreed, and he did. . "

Black's face became extremely hateful at this moment.

"But none of us thought that Peter had defected to Voldemort a year ago, joined their camp and hid among us as an undercover agent.

The night James died, I caught Peter and cornered him, and he yelled all over the street that I had betrayed James and Lily.

Then, before I could curse him, he blew up the whole street with the wand hidden behind his back, killing everyone within twenty feet of him, and ended up fleeing into the gutter with the other rats! "

"Together with the other mice!" Harry shivered suddenly at this moment, and he keenly grasped the words that Black said.

"That's right, except for Lupin, me, your father, and Peter, the three of us have all learned Animagus. Peter's Animagus form is a mouse!"

When Black said this, Harry's eyes met Ron's.

Ron's face turned pale, and he kept muttering to himself.

"Impossible, it's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible!" Blake yelled at Ron through gritted teeth. "That pet of yours is Peter! He hid in your house after he escaped from me! He has been hiding for more than ten years!"

Of course he wasn't hating Ron, but he couldn't help clenching his teeth whenever the name Peter was mentioned.

Hermione asked a timely question at this time.

"But you've been in Azkaban, how did you recognize Ron's pet as Peter?"

To answer this question, Black made a request to Harry.

"Let me go, I need to show you the evidence, don't worry, I can't hurt you without a wand."

Harry didn't speak, but turned to look at Lynn.

Lynn blinked at him, and then waved to the black rope that bound Black, and the black rope loosened from Black's body like a swimming snake, and then turned into a black metal The stick flew into Lynn's hand.

"Extremely clever transfiguration."

After being released, Black didn't make any drastic moves. He gave a absent-minded compliment, then reached into his robe with his bird-claw-like hand, and took out a crumpled piece of paper.

He smoothed the paper and showed it to everyone.

It was a photo of the Ron family with Harry, published in the Daily Prophet this summer, with Scabbers on Ron's shoulder.

"How did you get this paper?" Lupine asked Black, startled.

"Fudge," said Black, "he gave me this newspaper when he visited Azkaban last year.

That was Peter, on the front page of the newspaper, on the shoulder of the boy next to Harry, I recognized him instantly, I don't know how many times I've seen him transform? I remember exactly what kind of rat he turned into.

The commentary under the photo said that Harry Potter was very happy in his new host family! "

Lupine also noticed the remarkable features of the mouse in the photo,

"Look at its front paws!"

"So what?" Ron said recklessly.

He didn't want to believe this fact at all. Although Banban was lost, he had always had a deep affection for his pet.

"It's missing a toe," said Black.

"Of course." Lupine whispered, "At the scene where you were arrested, they only found one finger left by Peter."

"Well, that Scabbers might have fought some other rat or something! He's been in our house for years," Ron argued.

"Twelve years, hasn't it?" said Lupine. "You never wondered how it lived so long?"

"We...we've been taking good care of it!" said Ron.

"He doesn't look too well now, though, does he?" said Lupine. "I guess he's been losing weight since I heard Black's gone."

"It was scared by Hermione's cat!"

Ron's explanation was getting weaker and weaker. At this time, basically everyone could see that something was wrong.

Blake continued.

"I've been waiting for a chance, waiting for a chance to catch Peter without disturbing any of you, but before I could make a move, I found out that Peter had disappeared from this boy's side!"

There was a surprised look on Lupine's wolf face.

"Peter ran away?"

"Yes, he escaped, I was tricked here tonight by these children with a mouse pretending to be Peter."

Lupine glanced at Lynn meaningfully. After staying in prison for so long, of course Black would not know what kind of character is coming out of Hogwarts, but Lupine knew it all.

"You didn't suffer a loss, or there was no accident."

Lynn didn't care about Lupine's probing gaze, because it was up to Harry to believe what Black said at this time.

Harry didn't know what expression to show now, he looked at Ron and then at Lynn, and Hermione looked at each other, and then passed Black's bruised face, and finally he looked at Lupine .

"What's Peter's code name? Your name is Moonface, what about him?"

Lupine didn't know why Harry asked this, but he replied calmly, "Wormtail, his Animagus is a mouse, so he codenamed himself Wormtail."

Harry was really shaken at this moment.

Because the prophecy that Lynn told him before perfectly matched the facts that Black and Lupine said.

But Harry couldn't guarantee whether Black and Lupine would join forces to deceive him, and even Ron couldn't accept such a thing.

"Anyway, Banban is lost! No matter what you say about him, he can't justify it! You can blame all your mistakes on that rat who didn't know if he turned into a human!"

Ron didn't want to stay here any longer. He stood up and was about to leave the cellar irritably when Lynn stopped him.

"Actually, it's very simple to test whether Black is telling the truth."

He took a bottle of potion from his robe pocket.

"I remember you said Mr. Black at the beginning, you don't mind taking Veritaserum to see if you're telling the truth?"
