Chapter 360 Truth and Traps
"He's not a mouse, he's Peter Pettigrew, an Animagus, just like me!"
Seeing that the four of them couldn't understand, Sirius continued to explain.
"Impossible, Peter Pettigrew is dead, and you were the one who killed him!"
Harry walked up to Ron at this moment.
Sirius looked at the struggling Scabbers in Ron's hands, bared his yellow teeth and roared angrily:
"I wanted to kill him, but little Peter beat me...not this time!"
"Banban is already staying at our house."
Ron was about to explain, but was interrupted by Sirius:
"12 years, right? Can a normal mouse live 12 years? And he's missing a toe!"
"so what?"
Ron stared.
At this moment, Harry suddenly frowned and muttered:
"They only found one finger of Peter Pettigrew. His body was blown to pieces by Sirius' powerful black magic, along with the whole street of Muggles nearby."
"Yes, Lily and James did ask me to be the secret keeper back then, but at the last moment I asked them to change it to Peter, only to announce to the public that it was still me, and it was all my fault.
That night, I went to see if Peter was safe, but he was gone. I felt bad, and hurried to your parents' house, only to see the ruins and your parents' bodies.
I realized what Peter had done and started searching for him frantically, and finally found him on a street just about to transform.
When he saw me, he immediately yelled so loudly that the whole street could hear that I had betrayed Lily and James. Then he smashed the whole world with the wand behind him, cut off one of his fingers, and turned into a mouse and fled into the sewer. "
Sirius gritted his teeth, and explained word by word with eyes full of anger.
"how to prove?"
Harry stared at Sirius, already somewhat convinced in his heart.
"It's very simple. A reduction spell can prove that if he is Peter Pettigrew, he will be restored immediately. If not, the reduction spell will not have any effect on a mouse!"
Sirius aimed his wand at Scabbers in Ron's hand.
Harry looked at Hermione behind him, and Hermione nodded, proving that Sirius was right.
"You really believe him, how could Banban be Peter Pettigrew!"
Ron looked at the three of Harry with a mournful face.
Alice persuaded Ron in a low voice:
"If he really wants to kill us, there's no need to explain so much, and the Reduction Curse doesn't harm rats!"
Ron hesitated, and finally handed Scabbers to Sirius.
Sirius threw the wand to the four of Harry, and then took it over from Scabbers. A blue magic light instantly shot out from his wand, hitting the struggling Scabbers in his hand.
I saw that Ban Ban, who was hit by the blue magic light, instantly stayed in mid-air, and his body began to twist wildly.
Like a fast-forward shot of a tree growing, a head comes out and so do the limbs.
A moment later, a man stood where Ban Ban was, cowering and wringing his hands.
He was very small in stature, not even much taller than the four of Harry, with thin, matted hair in a mess and a large patch of baldness on top.
He looked wrinkled, like a fat man who lost a lot of flesh in a short time.The skin is dirty, almost the same as the spotted fur, and the pointed nose and watery mung bean eyes also have the characteristics of a mouse.
"Peter, I haven't seen you for 12 years, let's see where you can escape this time!"
When Sirius saw Peter's appearance, his eyes instantly turned red. If it weren't for the plan about Dumbledore and Charlie in his mind, he would immediately cast a spell to blow Peter to pieces.
Pettigrew looked at Sirius, his whole body trembled, and then he screamed loudly:
"Mrs. Lestrange, I have completed the task as agreed, please help me!"
"Except your weapons!"
Following Pettigrew's scream, a disarming spell sounded suddenly, and the wands of Sirius and Harry flew out at the same time, falling at least ten meters away.
At this time, a witch with disheveled black hair, a mad and arrogant face, appeared not far away with a wand in her hand.
"My dear cousin, we meet again!"
"Bellatrix, why are you here?"
Sirius looked at Bellatrix who suddenly appeared next to him, with an extremely surprised expression on his face, and then suddenly realized:
"It's a trap!"
"Yes, if we weren't here, how do you think Mr. Peter dared to show up and lure you? I'm curious, where you have been hiding for the past half a year, and you can't find a trace!"
Bellatrix had a smug smile on her face.
"For half a year, for the past half year, you have been looking for me, why?"
Sirius wondered.
"Why? Of course it's the locket on your chest!"
Bellatrix pointed to the locket on Sirius' chest, then looked at Harry and licked his lips:
"But it's worth it. Not only do I get the locket, but I can also bring back Mr. Potter, whom the master has always wanted to kill with his own hands. Come to think of it, the master will definitely reward me!"
"Not always!"
At this time, Sirius, who was pointed at by Bellatrix with his wand, suddenly showed a smile.
"Except your weapons!"
A magical ray shot out from behind Sirius, and directly sent Bellatrix's wand flying.
"how is this possible?"
Under Bellatrix's surprised cry, Lupine, who had been hiding behind Sirius with the Disillusionment Charm, slowly revealed himself with his wand.
"I was worried that you wouldn't have any problems if you came out alone, so I followed you quietly. I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Lestrange who escaped from Azkaban!"
"Thanks, Remus!"
Sirius gave Lupine a hug, then picked up his wand.
The four of Harry were also confused by the current series of events. Seeing Sirius pick up the wand, they also picked up the wand.
Although they didn't know it very well at the time, they were already sure that Scabbers was Peter Pettigrew, and Peter Pettigrew and Bellatrix were both Death Eaters.
Therefore, what Sirius said just now has a high probability to be true. The traitor back then was not Sirius, but Peter Pettigrew.
"I want to know, why are you looking for this locket? Bellatrix!"
Sirius took the locket from his neck and asked Bellatrix.
However, Bellatrix didn't have the slightest fear on her face at this time, but laughed crazily and said:
"Do you think I'm the only one here?"
