"Shafiq's voice!" Hearing Ivey's voice, Tate shrank instinctively. "No, you're not here." Then he realized that the location displayed on the Marauder's Map had not changed.
Tate looked back at the fireplace. He saw the orange flames vaguely forming a figure.
"Peter Pettigrew" the figure spoke.
"Classmate Shafiq~ I have really admired your name for a long time," Tate said with a silly smile.
"Peter Pettigrew? Isn't he dead?...Could it be that-" Luna's face, which had been acting as if nothing had happened, finally showed an expression of surprise.
"Luna, I will explain to you again." Ivey stabilized Luna's hand first, and then said to Tate, "You have lost."
"Humph - I don't think so." Tate smiled sinisterly. "Although the idiots at the Ministry of Magic failed to catch Black in the past two days, his Animagus form has been exposed. How long can he hide?"
"Ha-it seems you haven't noticed yet"
"What did you find?"
"Let me be honest - Black has been hidden in the Chamber of Secrets by Harry. Not to mention the Ministry of Magic, not even Dumbledore can find him."
"Chamber of Secrets? He disappeared for such a long time yesterday, so it turned out that he went to the Chamber of Secrets. But so what? I also know about the Chamber of Secrets. I can write another letter to the Ministry of Magic. I believe they have no idea about Harry's ability to speak parsely.
, should be very interested.”
"Tch—! You said he can speak Parseltongue, does he know Parseltongue? What if I told the Daily Prophet that Peter Pettigrew is still alive and hiding in Hogwarts. Those of you who were once in the same unit
Colleagues, will you believe it?"
"You know?" His expression suddenly turned ugly.
"And thanks to Black. According to him, your brothers in Azkaban are talking about you all day long."
"..."
For a moment, Tate's face looked uncertain.
"How about it - although you exposed Sirius and took away Lupin, the situation did not develop as you expected. The initiative is on our side instead." Ivy continued to ridicule.
"Maybe it was like this before, but you shouldn't tell me this." Tate said with a cruel smile, "Now listen carefully, if you spread my news, I will kill this boy immediately! Then attack everyone here indiscriminately.
one person!"
"Haha~ The reaction is just as I thought." Ivy knows Pettigrew very well and knows what he is. "But this kind of bluffing trick doesn't work on me. Putting aside other things, how dare you do it under Dumbledore's nose?"
Killing people down there? You kill one and I'll see."
"Classmate Ivey!" Luna shouted hurriedly after hearing this
"Don't worry, he doesn't have the guts." Ivey said slowly, "Even though he looks like he's going to die together, in fact he cherishes his life more than anyone else. Even if that time comes, there's a high chance of running away."
"It's true that I'm not as brave as James and the others. But if I'm doomed to die, I don't mind taking a few backers." Peter did not refute.
"Don't say it so tragically. It doesn't match your character. And - I'm here today to tell you some good news."
"Good news? - Huh! What good news, help me kill Blake?" Tate sneered.
"This time, I can let you go."
"Let's go! I have to let you go if I can!" Tate looked shocked and angry. "They now think that I am a traitor. If I am discovered, I will die! You don't know their methods at all!"
"This has nothing to do with me," Ivey said lightly, "If you insist on staying here, I guarantee you won't survive tomorrow."
"Then I will blow up this place! Everyone will die together!" Tate's face was ferocious, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, the meridians on his neck and forehead trembled and stood up, and his immature facial features were distorted by anger. His exaggerated appearance was like a cannibal evil
ghost.
"..." Ivy was not moved at all. "You know, Peter. Your acting skills are really good. No wonder you were able to hide the truth and let Sirius take the blame for you for so long. But - Peter, let me say it one last time: you didn't
Courage to risk your life. Even if you are facing a certain death situation, you will try your best to escape."
He continued, "So, there is no need to act in front of me. The opportunity has been given to you, and now I only need an answer."
"...What do I have to pay?" Peter knew there was no free lunch.
"I have a letter here with a shadowing spell. You have to show up and tell the truth about the death of Harry's parents."
"This is driving me to a dead end..."
"Stop talking nonsense! I'm not negotiating with you now, this is the condition of letting you go. If you don't want to, you can just pretend I haven't been here."
"..." Tate was silent. He lowered his head, a strange light flashed crazily in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Is this the only condition?" After a long while, he raised his head and asked.
"The Marauder's Map remains" cannot fall into Voldemort's hands.
"Impossible!" Tate immediately replied without thinking, "This is the guarantee of my life safety."
"It's the same thing." After hearing this, Aiwei still looked indifferent, "I put forward the conditions, it's up to you whether you agree or not."
"Haha - dear Ivey, you must show sincerity in negotiations. I am a person who doesn't even believe in myself. Now you want me to believe in your verbal promise? Let's be clear, if there is no safety guarantee, I would rather bring a map
Run away."
"...What do you want?"
"The Unbreakable Vow Spell!"
"You want to swear an oath to me?" Ivey frowned.
"It's not me." Tate's expression suddenly became playful. He pointed at himself, "It's this boy."
"...There's no need to involve him."
"Haha -" Tate suddenly laughed wildly, "Dear Ivy, like Ron, I have known you for more than two years. I know exactly how powerful you are. I will never expose myself to you.
!And—if you really want to let me go, there’s no need to worry about his safety.”
"Hmph~ That's quite thoughtful," Ivy sneered.
"There is no way, of course you have to be careful when dealing with a scary guy like you."
"I can agree to your request. But I must first know the content of the oath."
"Naturally" Tate nodded proudly, "The content is very simple, just one: help me leave Hogwarts safely."
"Nonsense! I only said I wouldn't intervene to arrest you. It didn't mean I was helping, let alone ensuring your safety. It needs to be changed."
"Oh~ I thought it meant the same thing." Tate smiled provocatively.
"The difference is huge. If you are picked up by a wild cat on the way, it will only be your bad luck and it has nothing to do with me."
"You can change it, but that's not the case." Tate thought for a while, "You are not allowed to interfere with my actions in any way."
"Let me ask first. If the oath is established, when are you going to leave?"
"Leave immediately after standing up"
"Then let's be specific: I won't interfere with your escape from Hogwarts before midnight tonight."
"Yes. One more thing: keep my actions confidential and do not use cats, dogs, envelopes, etc. in any form or by any means to leak any of my information."
"I need to add that sentence just now."
"No problem," Tate agreed readily, "Then we have reached a consensus now."
"It doesn't count. You have to complete the photo letter and hand over the Marauder's Map before you can take the oath."
"Don't even think about it!" If there was no Marauder's Map, you might not know how you died. "You have to swear an oath first!"
"Then let's add one more thing." Ivey was too lazy to argue with him. "Set these two items as the triggering conditions for the oath. This way everyone can rest assured."
“This is best”
"Then I'll ask Luna to come over and get the letter now," Ivy said lightly, while giving Luna a fierce wink.
"Oh - okay, I'll be right away." Luna's expression changed and she quickly walked towards the exit.
"Our witness can't leave," Tate stopped her. "She knows too much. I have to become a witness to feel at ease."
"What a pity~" Ivey sighed secretly
"Let the dog get it, and take Crookshanks back with him. They easily distract me here."
"Just do what you said. Lu Wei will send the letter over later, and contact me when you're ready." After saying that, Ivey was ready to disconnect.
"You can't leave," Tate stopped him. "Your consciousness is now connected here, and you can't communicate with Miss Ethel over there. If you leave, you won't be able to keep my secret."
"It's really troublesome," Ivey said expressionlessly.
“Be careful”
"Luna, write a letter and give it to Lu Wei. Let Betty prepare a photo letter."
"Okay" Luna nodded. Then she found paper and pen on the cabinet.
"It's finished, I want to read it."
"what ever"
After a while, Lu Wei left the Ravenclaw lounge with the envelope.
...
Not long after, Lu Wei brought back a letter with a photo.
"Have the little girl put the letter at the door of this boy's dormitory. No wands allowed," Tate said.
Luna heard this and looked at Ivy.
"It's okay. The wand is in Tate's hand. He is no threat to you."
"Yeah" Luna responded, took the envelope from Lu Wei's mouth, and walked towards the dormitory building calmly.
After a while, Luna came down.
"I've got the envelope. Give me some time," Tate said.
"It doesn't matter~ I'll wait until dawn if you record. But I have to remind you that I'm not very patient. If the content doesn't satisfy me, the transaction will be voided."
".....I see"
Peter didn't keep him waiting long. He quickly asked Luna to retrieve the letter.
"Want to inspect the goods?"
"Of course" Ivy motioned to Luna to open the letter.
Luna did as she was told. A short and insignificant figure appeared in the letter. He slowly opened his mouth and told a secret that had been sealed for a long time.
"There's nothing wrong with the content," Ivey said calmly after listening.
He had known the truth for a long time, so he was very calm. But Luna on the side could not. After learning what Peter had done, she who had always been calm and calm rarely cursed "Shameless!"
"Oh~ you are still young, little girl. When you see the Dark Lord's power, you will be like me."
"Don't make excuses, you just have a low limit." Ivey said disdainfully, "When will we start?"
"Right now. The location is Lupine's office. Luna and Tate will go there together. Mr. Shafik, you must rush there immediately after you release this state. I will observe you on the map. Since you are not good at magic
, as long as you stay in the room for more than ten seconds or talk to anyone on the road, then I will reconsider our deal."
"I know what to do"
"That's good. Let's get started."
Ivey's consciousness returns to his body
"What did you say?" Betty could only see the movements of a few people through Best.
"Can't you hear me?" Ivy walked towards the exit.
"I can't listen to the voice directly, I need it to be by my side to talk to me." Betty replied.
"Yeah" Ivey nodded, then "Call the gods and call the guards!"
The silver bull appeared indoors. He himself left the lounge directly.
