Chapter 234 Incident
In the dark attic, Harry raised his wand to Sirius, and at his feet, Peter Pettigrew was holding his legs and crying bitterly.
The anger in Sirius's eyes was rekindled, and he stared at Peter Pettigrew: "You still dare to confuse right and wrong?!"
He took out his wand and walked towards Peter Pettigrew, the wand in his hand shining brightly.
Harry shouted angrily: "Don't move! Don't come over either!"
He stared intently at Sirius's handsome and elegant face, and all the clues in his mind seemed to connect together.
Before school started, on the magic bus heading to the Leaky Cauldron, he saw the newspaper in the hand of the conductor saying that Sirius Black was imprisoned in Azkaban for murder.
In the restaurant of the Leaky Cauldron, Ron's father, Mr. Arthur Weasley, told him emphatically that Sirius would probably be hunting him for some purpose, but he was very secretive about what purpose it was. .
This kept him thinking hard.
Now, the strange man under his feet, who almost died under Sirius's wand, revealed to him a reason that was completely consistent with the facts:
Sirius informed the mysterious man, causing his father and mother to die at the hands of the mysterious man. At that time, he left a permanent lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.
After Sirius killed his parents, he killed the insider before escaping and was imprisoned.
Mr. Arthur Weasley was worried that mentioning his dead parents would make him sad, so he kept it secret.
The mysterious man has always regarded him as the prophesied savior, regarded him as a thorn in his side, and wanted to kill him quickly. Therefore, after Sirius was released from prison, it was completely normal for him to want to kill himself.
This was all so reasonable that Harry couldn't think of any reason to overturn it.
So he gritted his teeth and looked at Sirius and said, "It turns out you are the lackey of the mysterious man. No wonder Mr. Weasley said you might want to kill me."
Sirius stared at Harry's wand pointed at him. He suppressed the rage in his chest, took a deep breath and said:
"He is the one who snitched, and he is also the lackey of the mysterious man. It has nothing to do with me."
For a moment, he was so angry that he didn't know where to start to explain the whole thing.
"Show me the evidence!" Peter Pettigrew raised his head from the ground, looking miserable, and said through gritted teeth:
"Not only did you kill James, you also wanted to kill me as an insider!"
"If I hadn't faked my death to escape that day, I might have died long ago."
"I am unlucky today. If it wasn't for reporting the news to James' child, how could you have found me!"
Harry was startled when he heard this. It turned out that he was the insider.
The evidence seems more conclusive.
He pointed his wand straight at Sirius, his parents' faces flashed in his mind, and inexplicable emotions surged in his chest.
Sirius's eyes were bloodshot. He looked at Peter Pettigrew and laughed angrily:
"I didn't expect that in the past ten years or so, your frame-up skills have become even more sophisticated..."
He turned to look at Harry and said as calmly as possible:
"Don't believe what he says. I came here just to kill this man and avenge James. If anything I say is false, I can die here immediately."
"Thirteen years ago, James used the 'Loyalty Curse' to hide his hiding place. He hoped that I would become his secret keeper. In this way, the mysterious person would only know James' hiding place from my mouth."
"But after thinking about it, I persuaded him to change the secret keeper to the person at your feet, Pettigrew...be careful!"
Sirius suddenly shouted.
Hermione also suddenly exclaimed, and she reacted quickly, and the light of the Petrification Curse bloomed on her wand.
But Peter Pettigrew rushed forward and knocked her away, and the petrification spell shot into the wall. He snatched Harry's wand, used Harry as a shield, spit blood at Sirius, and sneered:
"Kill me now? Why haven't you done it yet?"
"Is it because I'm worried that James' child will die with me?"
Harry stared at the wand pointed at him, his neck stinging so much that it seemed to bleed.
His mind was in chaos. He glanced at Hermione who had fallen into the pile of old things, and then looked up at Sirius, who he regarded as a murderer, but who was still holding up his wand, and finally fell silent.
He looked at Sirius repeatedly, but he could clearly see concern for himself in his eyes.
This made him understand that the fact that seemed to fit so well was probably wrong when viewed from another person.
The opposite may be true.
No one would have thought that Sirius, who was imprisoned in Azkaban as a murderer, even Professor Dumbledore thought he had bad intentions when he broke into Hogwarts, but in fact, he may be the most worthy one. Trust people.
Sirius glared at Peter Pettigrew, wanting to kill this man immediately, but when he saw the blood on Harry's neck, he seemed to calm down.
He said: "I let you go, you let go of this child."
Peter Pettigrew changed from his misery and fear of death, and now he laughed ferociously:
"Now it's my turn to make the request, Sirius."
"You break the wand and throw it away, then I will consider letting him go, otherwise..."
His wand flashed with gray light and was so sharp that it seemed to be able to cut off a neck in one blow.
Harry screamed in pain, and more blood flowed down, soaking his clothes.
Sirius's eyes were about to burst: "Stop!"
Peter Pettigrew raised his chin to signal, and the light on the wand became more intense.
He said: "Sirius, do you think this kid James will have his neck broken at this moment?"
Sirius shouted angrily: "Don't forget, it was James who took care of you the most when you were at Hogwarts!"
Peter Pettigrew said: "I know, I always keep it in my heart, but I can't help it, Sirius, I want to live, I just want to live."
He moved the wand in his hand, and Harry looked pained.
"Don't move!" Sirius took a deep breath, "I will break the wand now, don't move..."
He put the wand back to his chest and looked at this old friend who had been with him for nearly thirty years. His face twitched and he held the two ends of the wand tightly with both hands, veins popping out on the back of his hands.
He raised his head again and said: "I'll break it off, you let this child go, I'll let you do whatever you want..."
Harry looked at his twitching face and the movements of his hands, raised his neck and gritted his teeth: "No! You can't break the wand, let alone anything happen to me..."
"Shut up!" Peter Pettigrew shouted coldly.
He looked at Sirius and said, "Yes, I accept your request."
"Okay." Sirius looked at Harry again and said, "I hope you can keep your promise..."
There was a sudden flash of light in the corner, and Hermione was covering her bleeding head, gritting her teeth and chanting something, with her wand pointed at Peter Pettigrew.
Peter Pettigrew reacted immediately, turned around and kicked him away, ending the spell.
He thought that nothing would happen if he kicked the little girl into the old things again, but unexpectedly, the little girl hugged his foot and bit it, using the stupidest way to stop him.
He screamed and raised his wand to kill Hermione.
The next moment, Harry knocked him away, and in an instant, a white light pierced Peter Pettigrew's head.
Bang! Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
A headless corpse collapsed.
Harry subconsciously wanted to see how Peter Pettigrew was doing. Hermione had just turned her head when she heard Sirius say in a deep voice:
"go out!"
"This is not something you should be in contact with..."
"What about me..." A strange and old voice sounded in the narrow attic.
Sirius was startled, a wand was pressed against his temple, and the black smoke was rapidly condensing into a knife.
He knew he couldn't run away, but he wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he roared at Harry:
"run!"
But the next moment, Harry knocked Sirius away without hesitation, and Boguna Rocco shouted:
"That's fine."
He grabbed Harry with his backhand and flew back out of the attic.
The wand was pressed against Harry's temple and he said:
"Sirius, if you want to save him, kill Meka Anders and take his head in exchange."
Sirius raised his wand, recognizing the man who had impersonated Meka Anders last time.
He said with a gloomy face: "How do you know I'm here..."
"How do you know..." Boguna smiled:
"Simple, because Peter Pettigrew is my slave."
He escaped a spell cast by Sirius, and the figure and Harry began to disappear in the corridor, leaving only a voice saying:
"If you don't come back here with his head within three days, the child in my hands will be dead."
"Got it? Sirius."
In the darkness, Sirius stared at the place where he disappeared, his face terrifyingly gloomy.
