Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 198 Clues: Peter’s Refutation

Peter subconsciously raised his head when he heard the noise, and the next second, a dazzling light penetrated his round eyes.

Hearing his screams, Rossi immediately raised his wand and waved it in a circle.

"Detention quickly!"

Through mental calculations and unintentional calculations, coupled with the preemptive "flash bomb", in just an instant, the orange rope tied Peter tightly.

"Ha, I finally got caught!"

Rosie felt a sense of elation in her heart. When she first entered the dungeon, she originally thought that the three tasks would be easy to grasp. Who would have thought that even Peter, who was the best to catch in the original work, has been delayed until now.

.

I saw Peter Pettigrew trying his best to open his eyes with tears in his eyes:

"Rosie? Is that you?"

Although he only vaguely saw the outline of Rosie, he recognized her instantly.

His voice was high-pitched and thin, and he sounded a little timid:

"How...how did you find this place?"

"I don't need to answer your questions."

A scornful smile appeared on Rossi's lips, "I already know everything you have done. Now I just need to take you back to the Ministry of Magic to face the trial of the Wizengamot."

"What did I do?"

Peter's expression looked a little surprised, "What did I do? Did you hear what Black said?"

After a pause, he said with tears in his eyes:

"How pitiful! That wild dog who killed a thousand swords betrayed the Order of the Phoenix and betrayed his friends. He has already succumbed to the power of the Dark Lord!"

His nose kept sniffing, and his tone was full of indignation:

"Now that he has found out that I am still alive and hates me for exposing his crimes, he has come to frame me again! Rosie! Black, he just wants me to die! Rosie, as an excellent Auror, you must have yourself

His judgment cannot be easily trusted!"

"Oh, it sounds like that!"

Rossi chuckled lightly, not believing a word he said, "If you don't believe him, how can you believe you, a rat who hasn't shown your face for twelve years?"

She patted Peter's face gently twice with the wand, and she said with a smile:

"Besides, your own words have already exposed yourself, right?"

"What? What did I say?"

Peter's vision finally returned to normal and he looked at Rosie.

Rossi sneered a few times and said with a funny face: "Voldemort hasn't shown up for so many years, and you still call him the Dark Lord?

Come, recite together with me: V~地~魔.”

Peter's eyes suddenly widened in horror:

"No, I can't call him by his first name!"

"You don't even dare to mention his name, so why are you making excuses?"

Rossi shrugged, raised his wand, and prepared to cast a spell to knock him out.

"No, no, listen to my explanation!"

Seeing her actions, Peter immediately panicked and struggled to stop her, but being controlled by the confinement spell, he could only fall straight to the ground.

Rossi slowly hid next to him and said with a smile: "Okay, then let me hear what kind of story you will make up."

"I'm not making up a story. What I said is true. I can swear to Merlin!"

Peter gasped and turned over hard, "I can't call him by his name because I joined the Corpse Eaters. Once I pronounce that name, he can sense me."

Eh? You actually raped yourself?

Rossi suddenly became a little curious about what he was going to say next.

"But I joined the Corpse Eaters to be an undercover agent. That was the task given to me by Dumbledore!"

"Dumbledore's mission? Undercover? How dare you make it up!"

Rossi chuckled and thought to himself, with Snape as a double agent, why would Dumbledore need to send spies to the corpse eaters?

"No, I didn't make it up."

Peter tried to open his eyes wide to make his expression appear more sincere, but this only made her feel funny in Rosie's eyes, "I know, everyone thinks I'm just a timid follower, but you guys

But I forgot that I am also a Gryffindor!"

After a pause, he took a long breath:

"The actions of the Order of the Phoenix were repeatedly leaked, which made the members of the Order begin to suspect each other. At this time, Dumbledore came to me and said: 'I know this is difficult, Peter, but this task,

No one is more suitable than you."

The emotions contained in Peter's voice were complex and real, so much so that Rosie began to consider whether what he said was true or false.

"But the traitor who leaked the Order of the Phoenix is ​​hidden too deep. Although I joined the Corpse Eaters, I still have no status and I can't find any trace of him!"

"Until one day later, James came to me. In order to hide his residence and protect the newborn Harry, at Black's suggestion, he asked me to be the secret keeper of the Fidelity Charm."

Peter's expression became excited, "I was stupidly grateful to Blake at that time. I felt that although he never liked me very much, at least he trusted me! Who would have thought...who would have thought that he was simply a traitor! Just like him

Just like that damn cousin! She's a Death Eater!"

"I had just become the Secret Keeper when the Dark Lord came to me and asked me to reveal where James lived!

Apart from James and his wife, the only people who know that I have become the secret keeper are Black! How could such a coincidence happen? If not him, who else could it be? "

After listening to his words, Rossi suddenly felt that he no longer knew how to:

"What about the Red Bold Loyalty Curse?"

"Yes, you are right, that's me!"

Peter took a deep breath and said with tears in his eyes, "I admit that I am sorry for James, but what can I do? You have never seen the terror of the Dark Lord. No one can keep a secret under the torture of the Cruciatus Curse!"

He actually admitted it like that? Let me go, what is going on? What kind of crazy idea is the planning of this game? Is this to forcefully smear Black to clear Peter's name?

While my thoughts were swirling, the system's prompt sounded like it was adding to the fun:

“Ding, get a clue: Peter’s rebuttal.

The clues for Task 2 have been basically collected. Players are asked to make choices based on their judgment.

1. Believe Black and send Peter to the Ministry of Magic to face trial.

2. Believe Peter and capture Black back to Azkaban."

There was no rush to make a choice. Because of the system prompts, Rossi's thinking became clearer:

"Professor Lupine once raised a question, if you didn't have evil intentions, why did you turn into a mouse and hide in the Weasley family for twelve years?"

Peter's expression was startled for a moment, and then he said with a slumped face:

"Because I'm afraid of death. Because of me, the Dark Lord has disappeared. If I don't hide, those crazy corpse eaters will definitely try their best to kill me."

"First of all, let me correct you. Voldemort disappeared because of Harry and James and his wife."

Rossi chuckled and shook his head, "Secondly, your reason doesn't make sense at all. Not long after Voldemort disappeared, most of the corpse eaters were imprisoned in Azkaban. Even if you were worried about your own safety, why didn't you go find Dumbledore?"

Lido?"
