It has to be said that Peter is really talented at lying. In just a few dozen seconds, he had already compiled a logical and self-consistent statement.
But unfortunately, he faced the mature Dumbledore and the prophetic Glenn.
With this set of words, even if Sirius didn't appear, it was impossible to deceive Dumbledore, let alone the current situation.
"So, did you already know that Sirius could escape from Azkaban?" Dumbledore pushed up his half-moon glasses and frowned, "This is something that no one has ever done."
"Those dark magic!" Pettigrew rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Otherwise, how could he escape from Azkaban? That person who must not even be named must have taught him a few tricks!"
Glenn burst into laughter.
Voldemort teaches Sirius a few tricks. This scene is probably only possible among those Danmei fans with big imaginations.
Peter followed the sound and shifted his target to Glenn.
"Master! Master Ollivander!" He looked at Glenn with pleading eyes, "We have met before, I am Scabbers!"
Wormtail's desire to survive has reached its extreme, trying every means to escape, knowing that even why he was knocked unconscious has been forgotten.
"Of course I know you, Scabbers, or I should call you Mr. Wormtail. However, I have a question -" Glenn said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about why you were knocked unconscious and why? Appearing here?"
"..."
Wormtail was stunned for a moment, his eyes were in a trance, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"If you didn't notice me, you should have noticed him, right?" Glenn said, pointing to Crookshanks lying next to his legs.
Peter followed his line of sight and finally noticed the big ginger cat. His pupils shrank and he understood instantly.
"It's you..." His face looked much uglier, and he said with difficulty in a hoarse voice.
“Tuk Tuk Tuk~”
Just at this moment, the wooden door of the office was knocked again.
"Come in!" Dumbledore said, winking at Glenn.
The wooden door opened, and Glenn was slightly surprised by the person who came in.
Gilderoy Lockhart...
But he didn't come alone. Behind him, there was a strong black dog.
The moment he saw the black dog clearly, Peter was startled, immediately showed a look of horror, and his body trembled violently.
The black dog just noticed Wormtail on the chair, suddenly lost control and pounced on it.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Glenn put his hands around his neck and barely stopped him. With his body of thirteen or fourteen years old, it was not an easy task to stop such a strong big dog.
As if he was afraid of hurting Glenn, Padfoot only struggled slightly twice and then became quiet.
"Okay, Padfoot." Dumbledore waved his hand with a smile, "It's safe enough here, you can chat with Wormtail in person."
"But, Professor..." Glenn let go of Sirius' neck, his eyes fell on Lockhart, and what he was thinking was self-evident.
Dumbledore also said in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter. Gilderoy and I have made an agreement that he will not reveal what happened today."
Glenn nodded doubtfully, his scrutinizing gaze still falling on Lockhart's face.
Lockhart shrugged and gave him an awkward smile.
Sirius's body swayed slightly, and then he stretched his limbs and returned to his human appearance.
Since his life has become much more stable during this period of time, and he no longer has to worry about food and drink, he is no longer as thin and haggard as before, his skin has faded away from the vicissitudes of life, and his waist is much straighter.
"Long time no see, my dear Wormtail." His words were just like when he met an old friend, but there was almost no emotion in his tone, but a bit of viciousness.
Wormtail originally wanted to beat him up, but after seeing the reactions of Dumbledore and Glenn, he roughly guessed his situation and stopped trying to make such a meaningless struggle.
"Hello...Sirius."
After spending this time with Glenn, Sirius' ability to control his emotions seemed to have improved somewhat. He did not angrily grab Wormtail's collar and question loudly as he imagined, but stood quietly and looked directly into his eyes. He asked in a calm tone.
"I want to know why you betrayed James and Lily."
"I..." Wormtail hesitated for a long time and sighed, "The Dark Lord... you don't know, his power is far beyond your imagination. I'm just afraid..."
He looked into Sirius's cold eyes and continued: "Sirius, you know, I have never been as brave as you, whether it is you, James, or Remus. I have never wanted to kill James. Mu and Lily, but that person who must not even be named forced me to——"
"If I remember correctly," Sirius' eyes gradually lit up with anger, "before Lily and James were killed, you had already passed on information to him for a year!"
"His power is so powerful...what's the benefit of disobeying him...?" Wormtail whispered, "If I resist, he will kill me..."
"Just to save some innocent lives, Peter!" Sirius said loudly, "I would rather die than betray my friends. If it were you, we would do the same for you!"
"Okay, Sirius." Dumbledore stood up and said, "I personally think that this conversation is enough. Next, we should talk about how to communicate with the Aurors."
Sirius looked at Wormtail again and nodded.
Dumbledore waved gently, and Wormtail passed out again.
"Any suggestions, Glenn?" he turned around with a smile and asked.
Glenn looked at Lockhart and seemed to understand something.
"You mean to ask Professor Lockhart to hand over Wormtail to the Aurors?"
"That's more or less it," Dumbledore nodded. "I personally prefer that you and Professor Lockhart caught him together."
"But Professor Lockhart's strength..." Glenn frowned and looked at Lockhart again.
Lockhart looked embarrassed.He naturally understands his own abilities. Apart from the Forgetting Curse that he is good at, he can't even cast a decent Iron Armor Curse.
"Strength is not the only criterion for measuring a person. Some people are naturally good at things that others cannot learn." Dumbledore also looked up at Lockhart and asked, "Am I right, Gilderoy? "
Lockhart blushed and nodded weakly.
But unfortunately, he faced the mature Dumbledore and the prophetic Glenn.
