Chapter 144: Pettigrew, Danger
It was another day to go to Hogsmeade. Adam and Colon's father made an appointment to look at the houses for sale in the afternoon. He was in the cellar of the Dream Dessert Workshop talking to Ambrosio about the next shop decoration plan...
The secret door of the cellar was opened with a "pants" sound, and three little lions came out of the secret passage.
"What are you doing...?"
Adam looked at the shaky secret door after being violently opened, and thought to himself that he would ask Uncle Bernard to order a titanium alloy one next time, and add a magic lock.
Seeing someone outside the secret passage, Harry and the other two felt their already pounding hearts tighten, and they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was.
"Adam! No time to talk, run!"
The three rushed forward, pulling Adam and Ambrosio to run, but found that they couldn't pull them - Ambrosio was too big, and Adam was holding a shield, so he was as solid as a rock...
"What happened?"
Adam frowned, grabbed Harry's collar and pulled him back in front of him.
Harry, who had been pulling Adam for a long time but he didn't move, was suddenly in front of Adam. He was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said:
"It's Pettigrew - oh, I can't explain it for a while, let's go!"
Adam frowned. It's not Christmas yet, how could Pettigrew be exposed so quickly... Forget it, what does it have to do with him?
"Oh, little Harry, where do you want to go?"
Hearing this voice, Harry and the others' hair exploded.
Pettigrew slowly climbed up the ladder from the secret door, revealing his sparsely haired head, and grinned at Harry and the others:
"The activity map was made by James and his friends, but I was also James's good friend! Which secret passage on it do I not know?"
"You bastard!"
Harry's eyes turned red when he heard this, not because he was about to cry, but because he was angry. Hermione and Ron were also very angry.
They have now figured out the truth of the year. How dare this traitor who pretended to be a hero say such things in front of Harry? !
"Hehehe~ Don't be sad, little Harry, I'll take you and your friends to see James and Li..."
"Bang——"
Adam used the flat surface of the Dark Staff to slap Pettigrew, who was halfway up the ladder and half exposed from the secret passage, back, and looked at Ambrosio who had already taken out the wand:
"Ambrosio, were you a Hufflepuff?"
"Uh, yes, what's wrong?"
Ambrosio was shocked by Adam's move and answered after a second.
"Oh, it's okay."
Adam nodded and said nothing.
It seems that Hufflepuff really has a buff that reduces its presence... What is this? Is it a passerby halo?
While thinking, Pettigrew's furious voice came from the secret passage:
"Ah! Little devil! How dare you sneak attack me? I will kill you--"
This time Pettigrew learned his lesson, and a hand holding a magic wand first stretched out from the secret passage. Unfortunately, he probably didn't pay attention to the silent spell class at the beginning, and he didn't start chanting and casting spells until his hand was exposed.
"Thunder--"
"Snap--"
Adam swept the dark stick, and the magic wand in Pettigrew's hand was swept away.
Dare to fight with the Berserker--no, it's a person who practices both magic and martial arts without keeping a distance? Do you think he can only stupidly take out the magic wand to cast spells? At this time, of course, fists and feet are faster!
Then, just as Pettigrew's hand was panicking and supporting the ground, and he was about to climb up to find the magic wand, Adam directly swung the dark stick and slammed Pettigrew's palm several times with the bottom without spikes!
"Ahhhh——"
Accompanied by a wail, Pettigrew's hand suddenly retracted into the secret passage, and several heavy objects fell in the secret passage. It was estimated that he did not hold the ladder firmly and fell down.
Seeing this, Adam jumped directly from the entrance of the secret passage holding the Dark Staff.
Harry, the three people and Ambrosio who witnessed the whole process: "..."
"What...what is that?"
Ron was still a little dazed when he spoke:
"Adam just...suddenly conjured up a thorny stick, and then beat Pettigrew with that stick?"
"In fact, I feel that it is more like the magic wand of the magician in the fairy tale..."
Hermione couldn't help correcting, but thinking about how Adam used it just now, she was silent again.
"Don't stand there stupidly, go help!"
Harry pulled the two of them and quickly climbed down the ladder.
Petty had lost his wand. Seeing Adam swinging the stick just now, he was not afraid that Adam would not be able to beat Pettigrew. The main thing was that the opportunity to beat the drowning dog should not be missed!
Pettigrew was free falling down. Adam could jump directly down, but they couldn't. So when they got down to the secret passage, Pettigrew had been rolled into a ball by Adam.
Well... to be more specific, Pettigrew's originally short and fat body shrank into a ball, and then he was beaten to the ground by Adam with the bottom of the Dark Staff, and he kept wailing for mercy.
"Stop hitting me! I surrender--"
"Stop it, it hurts!"
"Listen to me, woo woo woo--"
Ron looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help saying:
"Do you remember what we heard old McGonagall say about him last time?"
"That kid, there is always no hope in a duel..."
There was another wailing sound, and Hermione shrank her neck and repeated what she heard at that time.
Little did he know that Pettigrew was also furious after being beaten.
Before he joined Voldemort, he was always looked down upon and was said to be a follower of James and his friends. Now that he joined Voldemort and learned some black magic, why was he still looked down upon even though he was a rat and beaten by Hogwarts students?
Then didn't he join Voldemort in vain?
"Enough!"
Petty suddenly stopped being beaten blindly and raised his hand and roared. Then he saw Adam change the end of the Dark Staff after being stunned for a moment, and the circle of spikes on the top flashed with a faint light.
Petty: !!!
Before he fainted, Pettigrew's thoughts flew, and his past flashed like a revolving lantern.
He had been cowardly and incompetent since he was a child. After entering Hogwarts, he was included in the small team by James and his friends because he was a roommate, but it still did not change his current situation. He was the most out of place in the team.
He had tried hard, and even learned the super difficult magic of Animagus from James and the others, but the animal he could transform into seemed to be a mockery of fate - his Animagus was a mouse.
He was indeed a mouse, destined to be different from James and the others who lived in the sun... Oh, Remus lived in the moonlight, no matter what, he finally accepted the reality and found his way of survival.
Although he was forced to join Voldemort at the beginning, Pettigrew quickly adjusted his mentality, worked hard for Voldemort, and took action against his former brother James - after all, if his brother didn't die and Voldemort didn't succeed, wouldn't he, who was afraid of being tortured and surrendered, be too useless?
Even if it was a mouse, he didn't want to be a useless mouse.
However, he did a good job here, but Voldemort failed first - who would have thought that Voldemort would fall on a baby?
After that, Pettigrew's journey was full of ups and downs:
First, he was found by Sirius, and he had to sacrifice a finger to use dark magic to escape. Then, he was caught as a real mouse in the Animagus form. Not long after, he was bought by the Weasley family to his son as a pet...
Petty also thought about escaping, but what could he do after escaping?
How good it is now. He became a hero by accident, his only relative became the hero's mother, and the only one who knew about it, Sirius, was sent to Azkaban again. Although he is now living the life of a mouse, at least he has food and shelter, and is a happy mouse.
So... Sirius, it would be great if you didn't escape from prison!
Before he fainted, Pettigrew seemed to see Sirius' face.
