The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"So you captured Peter again?" Sirius sat in Dumbledore's seat with a prickly look, with several plates of food in front of him. The look on his face showed a bit of confusion. He didn't understand why Tom wanted to do this? Could it be that he wanted to take revenge? That’s great, so loyal!

First hand Peter over to the Ministry of Magic to clear his name, and then snatch Peter back from the Ministry of Magic - this idea is really perfect.

"Hasn't Dumbledore talked to you about his plan yet?" Tom deliberately showed a puzzled look.

Of course he looked like this on purpose. In order to make rebellious members of the Order of the Phoenix like Sirius and Lupine more obedient, Tom had to pull Dumbledore's tiger skin as a cover.

Even if this plan has nothing to do with Dumbledore from beginning to end, he still has to bear Dumbledore's name. The reason is also very simple. When the members of the Order of the Phoenix heard that this was Dumbledore's plan, they would definitely implement it unconditionally. But when they heard that it was Tom Yoder's plan, there was inevitably a debate before implementation.

Tom didn't want to waste his energy on these meaningless debates, so he chose to go by Dumbledore.

"Plan?" Sirius showed a confused expression.

"Well, Dumbledore will probably talk to you in a while." Tom shrugged and took a piece of tuna sandwich from the plate in front of Sirius - he got up early today and hadn't had breakfast yet.

The salty tuna pâté paired with pickles and mayonnaise tastes really good, and even better is that the house elves at Hogwarts chose baguette as the bread for the sandwich, making it even chewier. strength. It can be said that it is a rare food that is very delicious when eaten cold.

Tom concentrated on destroying the sandwich in his hand, ignoring the confused Sirius beside him. After he finished his sandwich, he squatted down next to the unconscious Peter. Speaking of which, since Peter was arrested, he spent most of the time asleep under the influence of the potion. He was only awake during the trial, but at that time he was also given Veritaserum.

Tom supports this approach. For animagus like Peter, the sleeping strategy should be used. As long as he couldn't stay awake, he wouldn't be able to transform or find an opportunity to escape.

Tom opened Peter's eyelids, his right eye turned into a snake pupil, and then he forcibly entered Peter's inner world.

"Gryffindor!" The old hat shouted loudly without any hesitation. A large group of young wizards jumped up and down and clapped their hands happily, welcoming the new blood to join.

…

"My name is James, James Potter." A somewhat thin boy with long black hair stretched out his hand to him. Next to the boy was a handsome boy who looked lazy and cynical.

…

"Follow us and see what Remus is up to..."

…

"Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagus!" The short boy drank the blood-red potion with his friends. They all twitched in pain and eventually turned into a deer. , a dog and a mouse.

…

"It's so funny Peter that you can turn into a mouse - but it suits you very well."

"Isn't this transformation very good? He can help us press the knot on the Whomping Willow."

James and Sirius were commenting on Peter's transformation, and Peter secretly clenched his fists, but he did not dare to show it for fear of angering Sirius and being expelled from the team, so he could only giggle.

…

"I want you to be our secret keeper." James sat calmly in front of Peter and said to him. Next to James sat Sirius and Lily, both looking at him. But the difference is that Lily's eyes are still so gentle, and Sirius's eyes are still so disgusting.

…

"Yes, the great Lord Voldemort," Peter knelt down in front of a figure. He could only see the hem of the figure's clothes. "The Potters are hiding in Godric's Hollow..."

A cold laugh sounded above him, and there was also a burst of sinister laughter around him.

The owner of the clothes corner spoke, and there was a sudden silence around him, "If the news is true, you will be rewarded. You are very smart and know the current affairs..."

…

"You traitor!" The man in front of him had disheveled hair and red eyes, looking like a madman, but his hand had already touched the wand behind his back - boom!

Tom watched the first half of Peter Pettigrew's life like a fleeting glance. After reading it, he closed his eyes and tried hard to relieve the discomfort in his eyes. A stream of blood slipped from the corners of his eyes.

Sirius was confused: What did Tom do?

In Sirius' eyes, Tom just walked over and squatted in front of Peter for a while, and his eyes suddenly started to bleed.

"Are you okay?" He quickly walked to Tom to check on his condition.

"It's nothing serious," Tom waved his hand, "I just overused my eyes..."

Sirius:?

Are the sequelae of excessive eye use now directly causing blood loss? But he couldn't say much, so he could only stand aside silently.

If the situation worsens, send him to the infirmary. Sirius thought to himself.

The result seemed to be exactly as Tom said, nothing serious. The blood in the corners of Tom's eyes stopped quickly. Although he still had one eye closed, it seemed like there was no big problem.

Tom rested for a while, and after his eyes no longer hurt so much, he came to Dumbledore's Pensieve again, put his wand against his temple, and when he pulled it, an endless string of silvery flocculent material came out of his temple. out.

The string of matter was wrapped around the tip of his staff and slowly sent into the Pensieve.

The memory fragments in the past were small pieces, but what Tom pulled out this time was obviously not a memory fragment - what he pulled out was the memory of Peter Pettigrew he had just seen as an adult. This memory was so long that it took a full three minutes to be fully absorbed by the Pensieve.

After putting the memory in, Tom felt as if all the bones in his body were lighter by two pounds, and the liquid level in the pensieve in front of him seemed to be a little higher, whether it was an illusion or not.

Is there a capacity limit for this pot? Tom murmured in his mind, and at the same time glanced at the distance between the liquid level and the edge of the basin. Fortunately, there is still a long way to go before it is full. It would be too bad if the Pensieve overflowed with memories because of too many.

Tom looked at the Pensieve and the mist-like memories inside it, suddenly curious.

He first put the wand to his temple, and then pulled out a little memory.
