Harry was a little confused. Xia Zhi said that what was going to happen next was related to him.

But what did this Peter Pettigrew have to do with him? Why did Xia Zhi say it was related to him?

"Professor Dumbledore... You know my strength. Although he took my wand away from me, he can't hurt me at all. Xia Zhi said lightly.

"Indeed, with your strength, Peter can't hurt you at all." Dumbledore smiled and nodded. When Xia Zhi hadn't even entered school, he was already able to sweep away a team of Aurors.

And Harry agreed with this. He thought of the Hound Steps that Xia Zhi taught him. With this magic, it would be really difficult for Peter Pettigrew to hurt Xia Zhi.

However, it was still quite dangerous to fight a dark wizard with a wand without a wand. He thought of the hole on the fireplace made by the Killing Curse.

Dumbledore said solemnly:"Next time if you find anything unusual, you can contact me first. I am very worried about the safety of my students...so I won't find you annoying.……"

Xia Zhi nodded,"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I thought I could handle him myself... so……"

"Oh... you can indeed deal with him, but don't take such risks next time. You have tried this many times... I don't want to experience the pain of almost losing you again." Dumbledore sighed."You should think more about your friends.……"

Last year he thought Xia Zhi was killed by Quirrell. He was so sad at that time that he didn't stop and cast a spell to turn Quirrell into ashes.

"Um...I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I will definitely inform you next time……"

Dumbledore nodded,"I hope you can really do it...Okay, let's continue."

"Um... so, I subdued him. A wizard turned into a rat and lurked in Hogwarts. I thought he might have some conspiracy, so, while waiting for you to arrive, I used Legilimency on him... so... I know something.……"

Xia Zhi looked at Harry and said,"These things are related to Harry, so I suggested that he come with us to the principal's office."

""What is it?" Harry looked at Xia Zhi in confusion.

Dumbledore sighed and looked at Xia Zhi quietly.

He probably guessed what happened, but the specific details were still unclear.

"I saw that... it was he who betrayed Harry's parents' hiding place to Voldemort, which led to their death."Xia Zhi said succinctly.

""What!" Harry looked at the big rat on the table angrily. He had never known that this great enemy had been so close to him!

He wanted to rush up to him and cut him into pieces right now!

"But... why did he know where my parents were hiding? What's his relationship with my parents?" Harry finally did not lose his mind. After barely suppressing his impulse, he asked

"I can answer that question, Harry." Dumbledore looked at Harry with pity.

"When your parents were at Hogwarts, Peter Pettigrew was one of their best friends.……"Dumbledore said.

Then, Dumbledore told Harry some things that happened in the past.

Harry was a little confused. It turned out that he had a godfather!

And this godfather seemed to be imprisoned in Azkaban because of Peter Pettigrew!

"It's just... I don't understand... The secret keeper of the Fidelius Charm should have been Sirius Black... Why did it become Peter?" Dumbledore asked puzzledly.

"I think it's better to hear what the person himself has to say about these things."Xia Zhi looked at the big rat lying stiff on the table.

""Well... we should really listen to what he has to say." Dumbledore's eyes turned cold.

He grabbed Peter Pettigrew and went to the open space in the office.

Xia Zhi pulled Harry and protected him behind him.

The portraits of the headmasters on the wall had been pretending to sleep, but now they stopped pretending and stared at the big rat with bated breath.

They were secretly listening to what Xia Zhi said just now.

""Please, call Severus and Minerva for me." Dumbledore said to the portraits on the wall.

Among the portraits on the wall, two headmasters whose names were unknown nodded and disappeared at the edge of the frame.

Dumbledore took the mouse and looked at it carefully.

His eyes stayed on his foot with a missing toe for a moment.

Dumbledore did not change him back to his original form immediately, but waited for the two professors.

Professor McGonagall and Snape came quickly.

They looked at Xia Zhi and Harry in the headmaster's office with confusion.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips. She thought Xia Zhi and Harry had violated some school rules together and were caught by Professor Dumbledore on the spot.

Thinking that his Gryffindor House would be deducted another wave of points, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Harry was glared at by Professor McGonagall and felt a little puzzled.

"You guys are here……"Dumbledore said

"Albus, you called us here, what's the matter?" Professor McGonagall couldn't help asking

"I want you to bear witness. Next, we need to meet an old friend.……"Dumbledore put the mouse on the ground.

Snape frowned and looked at the mouse Dumbledore put on the ground in confusion.

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it was not Xia Zhi and Harry who made the mistake. Dumbledore waved his wand and lifted the petrification spell on the mouse.

Peter wanted to escape immediately.

But a red spell hit him. (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

""Swish!"

Snape and Professor McGonagall saw the fat rat suddenly transform.

Professor McGonagall immediately recognized that this was the transformation of an Animagus!

This rat was a wizard!

Peter returned to his original form and lay on the ground.[]

His short and fat body is not as flexible as when he was a mouse.

"Professor...long time no see...……"Peter's face turned pale.

Professor McGonagall recognized him immediately,"You... Merlin, you are Peter Pettigrew! Aren't you dead?"

Snape's surprised expression immediately turned into disgust.

It was an expression of deep disgust.

Then, Xia Zhi told them what had happened before again.

"So... it was you who betrayed James and Lily?" Professor McGonagall covered her chest. She almost fainted with anger when she heard the news.

Because of the betrayal of this cowardly traitor, two of her students died, and another student was wrongly imprisoned in Azkaban until now!

"Oh... When I heard you died in battle, I was proud of you... I was ashamed that I thought you were a coward.……"Professor McGonagall glared at Peter Pettigrew angrily."How dare you do this...Aren't James and Lily your best friends? When you were in school, everyone looked down on you, but they were the only ones who helped you...How could you have the heart to do this?"……"

"No...I didn't betray James and Lily, Sirius did.……"Peter Pettigrew still has a glimmer of hope

""If you have done nothing wrong, why did you become a mouse and hide in the Weasley's house without showing your head?" Xia Zhi said leisurely.

Peter Pettigrew's trembling body froze immediately.

Professor McGonagall nodded immediately to show her agreement. Yes, if Peter was innocent, then why did he turn into a mouse and hide?

"I guess you don't dare to let Sirius know that you are still alive."Xia Zhi said jokingly."The whole world knows that you are dead, including Sirius of course. I guess, if he knew you were not dead, he would definitely hunt you down to the ends of the earth! Instead of surrendering and being locked up in Azkaban for more than ten years!"
