Chapter 301 I Was Once a Brave Gryffindor

Looking at Peter Pettigrew's Oscar-winning acting skills, Sebastian shook his head imperceptibly.

The acting is really good. If you were an ordinary person, you might really be fooled.

However, this guy forgot that this is the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, not the Wizengamot Courtroom of the Ministry of Magic.

Some methods that are not recognized in the Ministry of Magic can be used here without any taboos.

Before coming to the Forbidden Forest, Sebastian specifically called Snape and asked him to bring two full bottles of Veritaserum.

The quantity is large enough to make you feel full, and it is guaranteed to make everyone burp after drinking a bottle.

Sebastian felt that the reason why Harry was so obsessed with the truth in the other party's words and did not think of the truth serum was entirely because the young man's moral standards needed to be lowered.

Hearing Lily's name being mentioned again, Snape's face twisted as he shouted, "Shut up! Neither of you has the right to mention Lily."

As he said this, he threw a bottle of truth serum in front of Sirius and Peter respectively: "I don't have time to distinguish the truth from the falsehood in your words."

"Each of you will receive a bottle of truth serum. After you drink it, I will be able to get the real answer."

"Take the chains off me," Sirius shouted, "I'll drink first, I want that bastard Peter to die clearly!"

"You..." Peter Pettigrew's face turned pale. The scene before him was completely beyond his judgment.

He trembled and said, "Veritaserum is illegal. The Ministry of Magic does not recognize the answers obtained by this method."

Seeing the different performances of the two people, Lupin, Harry and the other two understood that they were almost fooled by Peter Pettigrew's acting skills before.

He is the real betrayer!

Snape's face was pale, and the hand holding the wand was shaking slightly from the force he was holding.

He raised his wand and was about to give Peter a hard blow when someone grabbed his sleeve.

Snape turned his head and saw that it was Harry who stopped him.

"Professor, it's not worth it," Harry said bitterly, "Just hand him over to the Dementors."

Lupin looked at Peter Pettigrew and sighed heavily: "Peter, I really want to know, how did you become like this today?"

Peter, who had given up on treatment, slumped to the ground. After hearing Lupin's question, he began to laugh slowly and wildly.

"Hahahaha-"

"I also want to know why it has become like this today."

He raised his head suddenly and looked at Lupin with red eyes: "I was once a brave man. After all, I was sorted into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat himself."

"Why did you become such a coward?" He raised his finger and pointed at Sirius, "It's because of these two villains Sirius and James."

"You're talking nonsense!" Harry interrupted Peter abruptly, "Hagrid said my father was a hero, and you are not allowed to insult him."

“Insult?” Peter’s mouth curled up into a sarcastic smile, “You actually think I’m insulting him? Hahahaha, how funny.”

"He and Sirius are the two most famous bullies in Hogwarts. They enjoy bullying others and often use spells to attack others for no reason in school."

"If you don't believe me, look at all the people here. Is there anyone who refutes what I said?"

Harry looked up at Sebastian and Snape, trying to get a rebuttal from them, but was disappointed.

Sebastian just stood there quietly without saying a word.

Snape's face was even more gloomy, as if he had recalled something bad.

Even Lupin sighed. Only Sirius looked at Harry and said, "Harry, we did some stupid things when we were young, but we will be fine when we grow up."

"Foolish thing!" Peter Pettigrew said sarcastically, "Only people like you would think school bullying is a foolish thing."

"Harry, let me ask you something," Peter turned his head towards Harry, "living in the same dormitory with two school bullies, what should I do to avoid being bullied?"

"Is it true that only by keeping a low profile and doing everything they say can we study peacefully at Hogwarts?"

Harry was speechless when asked this question. He thought about the days when he was a child and was bullied by his cousin Dudley and his school bully friends.

Harry thought again that since he met Aunt Mia and Professor Swan, they had never told him anything about his father, and every time they would hesitantly change the subject.

It turns out that this is the truth of the matter.

His consciousness was a little hazy, and he could not accept the fact that his father was a school bully.

Lupin on the side couldn't stand it anymore and stopped them, saying, "Peter, don't say that. They regarded you as a friend anyway."

"They are very generous to you. For example, you were able to become an Animagus thanks to the special method they shared with you."

"Friends?" Peter smiled bitterly.

"If you really considered me a friend, you wouldn't have asked me to play with you on a full-moon night without asking for my wishes.

If you really considered me a friend, you wouldn't have given me the insulting nickname Wormtail;

If you really considered me a friend, you would have asked me for my choice and would have let me join the team against the mysterious man after graduation.

If you really considered me a friend, you wouldn't have come to my house and asked me to be James's secret keeper without caring about my life or death."

Peter Pettigrew became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction.

"I want to ask, why?"

"You guys go be heroes, why should I risk my life for you?"

“The James family’s life is life, so is my life not life?”

"Although you claimed that Sirius was the secret keeper, everyone knows that the four of us were very close during school."

"What if I'm targeted by You-Know-Who and his Death Eaters, and they want to capture me to threaten Sirius, what should I do? What will Sirius do?"

"I still have a mother. I just want to live with her. I don't want to get involved in anything related to the mysterious man. What have I done wrong?"

"Of course you are wrong!" Even though his body was tied up, Sirius still roared and rushed over headfirst.

"No matter how nicely you say it, it won't change the fact that you are a cowardly scum who betrays his friends."

"No matter how nicely you say it, it can't cover up the fact that you killed James and the others."

"You said you were a brave man, but I never saw your courage to resist!"

Sirius bit Peter desperately, as if he would only feel relieved if he bit him to death.

Seeing this, Lupin took direct action and separated the two people.

"I admit everything you said. Yes, I am a coward, a scumbag, and a pathetic creature."

Peter Pettigrew gasped and looked at Lupin with a sad smile.

He has already figured out his own ending. The best outcome would be life imprisonment in Azkaban, but at worst he would most likely receive the Dementor's Kiss.

So he doesn't care about anything now and he wants to say everything he wants to say.

"Remus, we are not the same as James and Sirius. They are true friends."

"As for us, we are just the two young masters' little followers."

"Remus, see Sirius for what he is. He has never really cared about you."
