Because when Ryan cast the coma spell just now, he actually held back. After all, he was worried that if his defense dropped to the same level as a mouse after turning into a mouse, the coma spell might kill him.
So when Lupine took out Scabbers from the cage, he had already woken up. While Professor Luping was catching him, Scabbers kept screaming and twisting, and his little black eyes bulged out. He was using
Struggling with all his strength and trying to escape.
Now everyone in the office saw that this mouse was not normal. Mag and Lupine examined it separately and discussed it together: "We are sure that this mouse is an Animagus."
"Okay, please let Mr. Mouse change back to his original form." Dumbledore said to Scabbers, but unfortunately Scabbers was unmoved and even ran towards the door quickly after Lupine put it down.
But how could he escape with so many wizards in the house? Soon Scabbers was suspended in the air by Mr. Weasley.
"It seems that we can only use force." After saying this, Dumbledore nodded slightly to Professor McGonagall. Professor McGonagall's wand emitted a blue-white light at Scabbers; Scabbers hung in the air, a small black
The body twisted wildly.
Soon it fell from mid-air and fell to the floor. There was another dazzling flash, and then it was like a fast-moving arrow of plant growth in a documentary. A head appeared on the ground; limbs stretched out; and then
After a while, a man stood where Banban was just now,
This is a short man about the same height as Ryan. Like Mr. Weasley, he is bald, and his light-colored hair is messy. The whole person looks like an obese person who has lost weight quickly. His skin has many wrinkles, and he looks...
It was very dirty, almost like Spot's fur. The pointed nose and watery small eyes still had the characteristics of a mouse. He looked at the group of people in the office, breathing quickly and weakly.
"Oh, hello, Peter," Professor Lupine was the first to react, saying calmly as if he hadn't seen him transform before, "Long time no see."
"Professor McGonagall, Principal Dumbledore, and Lu Lupin..." Peter's voice was sharp, and his eyes kept glancing at the exit of the principal's office. "My professors and my friends."
"Peter, we are here to ask why you have been a mouse for twelve years?" Dumbledore lowered his head, looked at Peter through his half-moon eyes, and asked in a very stern tone.
"Because I want to escape Sirius' pursuit. Yes, I am evading pursuit. I think he will come to kill me one day." Peter stammered in defense.
"I don't think an innocent person would hide so obscenely for twelve years, let alone how do you know that Sirius will escape from Azkaban? No one has ever escaped from Azkaban." Professor Lupine was aside.
Asked."
"I, I'm just scared. After all, Sirius should have learned unprecedentedly powerful evil magic from that person." Peter stumbled and defended. If his eyes weren't looking around like a mouse, this sentence might be terrible.
Have some faith.
"No, this is unreasonable. We had a lot of tainted witnesses back then, and some even confessed to many Death Eaters. But they have lived a normal life under the protection of the Ministry of Magic until today. As an ordinary person who only offended Sirius
Man, you have been hiding like this for twelve years after Sirius was captured. The reason you just mentioned is not credible." Amelia Bones said while adjusting her monocle.
"What's more, you had a full week to seek asylum at the Ministry of Magic, especially since you could turn into a mouse and Sirius couldn't stop you at all. But you didn't, and instead chose to be alone with Sirius
After being chased for a week, he faked his death in a strange explosion until today. This is completely inconsistent with what you just said that you were scared."
Amelia Bones, as the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, is indeed experienced in interrogations, and she immediately exposed Peter's lies on key issues. Her questioning also made Peter completely lose his bearings.
"I, I wanted to avenge Lily and James, so I came to him alone. After all, according to the Ministry of Magic's judgment, no matter how heinous the criminal is, he is only sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. I know that Sirius must have learned from that person.
Because of the evil magic, Azkaban can't punish him at all, so I want to kill him." Peter said more and more smoothly, as if this was really the case, but everyone present had already discovered that something was wrong.
"Then if that's the case, why did you hide away for twelve years? If you go by what you said, you should stand upright in front of others. In this way, even if Blake escapes from prison, you can still wait for Blake to come to avenge Lily and James.
And you just said you were avoiding Black, so now you are basically lying." Lupine said coldly at this time, because he had already guessed the truth of certain things.
"There is no need for us to listen to this guy fabricate lies here. There is a bottle of powerful veritaserum in my office. Just three drops can make him tell everything. What do you think, Ms. Bones?" Professor Snape
I was already tired of Peter making up lies, so I slowly expressed my idea.
"Well, this involves a very bad murder case more than ten years ago. Therefore, as the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, I approve the use of Veritaserum. By the way, Principal Dumbledore. I would like to borrow your
There is a formal interrogation in the office. After all, there are two Wizengamot members here plus you, and there are also five adult observers. It just meets the minimum requirements for a legal interrogation." Amelia Bones.
After thinking about it for a while, Professor Dumbledore asked.
"Of course." Principal Dumbledore nodded. "I also want to know now what happened back then."
"No, no, I'm just a suspect. You don't have conclusive evidence, so you can't give me Veritaserum." Peter struggled hard, but Professor McGonagall waved her magic wand and pinned Peter there.
There was silence in the office for a few minutes, and the sound of friction came from the spiral staircase again. Professor Snape returned with his Veritaserum.
"Thank you! Severus." After saying this, Dumbledore turned around from behind the table and took a bottle of Veritaserum that looked like clear water. Then he waved his wand to forcefully open Peter's mouth and poured three drops of the potion.
.
Peter struggled for a while at first, but soon he stood there numbly.
Amelia Bones took out a strange instrument made of brass and crystal and pointed it at Peter, and then took out parchment and quill. "I need someone to record it when I ask you later."
"I'll do it." Percy replied nervously. Bones glanced at him, and Mr. Weasley next to him replied: "He is my son and the president of the student union. He will definitely help you record this completely.
of the first trial.”
"Then please." After speaking, Bones waved his magic wand, and the paper and pen flew away like Percy.
Percy was a little excited after taking the paper and pen. Ryan saw him trying to put the parchment on his lap to record, and used his wand to turn the cushion on the back of his chair into a board and handed it to Percy.
"Transfiguration is very good." Professor McGonagall next to him praised him. Before Ryan could answer, Director Bones's interrogation began. Everyone's attention was attracted to him.
