Chapter 469 Peter became Ron?
Pride prevents others from loving you, prejudice prevents you from loving others.
Treat others with arrogance and prejudice, and everything the other party does is naturally wrong.
This is also Black's biggest problem.
Back then, if he hadn't had this bias, he would have changed the Secret Keeper and told Lupine, one of the predators.
Maybe everything will be different.
Judging from the Lupine contacted by William, the professor will definitely do everything to save Black.
At least Dumbledore will know the truth and won't let him stay in Azkaban for 12 years.
Therefore, prejudice kills people, but Blake chose prejudice when he should not be prejudiced.
"Why didn't you let Dumbledore be the secret keeper in the first place?" William stared at Black and asked another sharp question.
"As far as I know, the principal once suggested that he come to be the secret keeper!"
Blake looked up and asked, "William, I overheard your conversation over the summer, and you have a safe house, too.
Did you make Dumbledore your secret keeper? "
"No." William shook his head. "I'm a secret keeper myself. I'm confident that nothing will happen, and it's still my home."
It's not that he hasn't considered letting Nico, or Dumbledore, be the secret keeper.In the end I chose myself.
On the one hand, it is his home with Hermione and Annie.Only the confidential person can allow others to enter the house.
He can't go to Dumbledore to apply every time, can he?
"That's right." Blake smiled sadly. “We thought so at the time, and we thought nothing would happen.
What's more, I don't want to trouble Dumbledore every time.
He was the secret keeper of at least twenty safehouses, and even... more!
Countless Death Eaters wanted his life, and Voldemort regarded him as the most terrible opponent.
We don't want to put any more pressure on him, and we don't want to put all our eggs in one basket.
So James chose me. "
William raised his head and frowned slightly. Hermione noticed his movement, and the two had a good understanding. She said without him asking:
"What about James or Lily, why don't they both act as secret keeper?"
Blake stared despondently at the ceiling of the cave.
"You are still young and don't know the situation at that time... At that time, the wizard war had been going on for several years.
People are dying every day...familiar, unfamiliar, seen, unseen..."
He shook his head miserably and said: "In that kind of environment, anyone can die, and no one would naively think that he is the one who doesn't deserve to die!"
"It's even more impossible for you to hide for the rest of your life because Voldemort wants to kill you, and be a coward and watch your companions die one by one.
That's not Gryffindor! "
His voice growled from his throat.
"Even after Voldemort issued the death order, James and Lily still left the safe house to fight secretly and perform tasks for the Order of the Phoenix.
Every time the two of them went out, they would leave alone at home to take care of Harry, who was still a baby. "
"But because of Voldemort's orders, the Death Eaters saw them like crazy.
They replaced the secret-keeper with me, who is much less stressed.
In this way, even if something happens to them, their family's loyalty spell will work normally. "
"But someone leaked the secret and revealed the identity of my secret keeper.
On a whim, I secretly changed into Peter and attracted the attention of the Death Eaters by myself.
After convincing James on my own initiative, I didn't tell Dumbledore and Remus for the reasons you already know. "
Blake's face contorted convulsively.
"...I went after Peter the day it happened. I cornered him, and he yelled all over the street that I had betrayed James and Lily.
Before I could kill him, he blew up the whole street with his wand hidden behind his back, killing everyone within twenty feet of him, and fled into the gutter with the other rats...
I was not tried, I did not actively defend myself, I repented in Azkaban for 12 years.
The whole thing... that's it. "
Blake clenched his fists, his lips quivered, and his eyes closed.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't persuaded James, he and Lily wouldn't have died...I caused them..."
There were faint tears in Hermione's eyes, the knuckles of her hands were white, and she hugged William's arm tightly.
Annie also had tears all over her face, wiping it carelessly.
William's lips moved, and finally he just sighed silently.
Black's words make logical sense and fully support the previous speculation.
For example, Peter is a hero, why did he remain anonymous for so many years as a mouse, and why did he become Tom's spy.
Because, he was not from this side!
"If you don't believe me, just catch that mouse," begged Black.
"Just grab him, give him Veritaserum, and you'll know."
With a wave of William's wand, Blake undid the magic, conjured up a chair, and beckoned him to sit down.
"Actually, we noticed that there was something wrong with Scabbers at Christmas." William said softly.
Blake looked at William in astonishment.
"You..." he stammered. "How did you find out..."
Twelve years ago, Peter had made a final conclusion, and after his death he was awarded the Medal of Merlin First Class, they could still detect the abnormality?
He knew William and Hermione were smart, but he didn't expect to be so... smart!
"That's easy." He was inexplicably excited. "You go get him...he's with the Weasley boys."
"Earlier tonight, the rat died of illness." Hermione shook her head.
"What, died of illness?!" Blake was stunned.
"Peter is dead, he is really dead..." Blake was at a loss, not knowing whether to be happy or disappointed.
"Don't rush to be happy, it's a real mouse that died." William said slowly.
"At Christmas, we told Dumbledore about this guess and found Scabbers.
But when he used the Appearance Curse, there was no response. "
"It must have been dropped by Peter." Black's voice was hoarse.
"He must have sensed the danger and found a similar mouse in advance. No one knows how to play dead better than him!
He did this kind of thing 13 years ago! "
"That's the problem, we don't know where Peter is hiding now!" Hermione said seriously.
Blake thought for a while, then suddenly grinned and said:
"The Marauder's Map, we made a map. When I graduated, I deliberately asked Filch to take it away, thinking about staying and helping other students..."
He glanced at the three of them, and immediately used a slightly more elegant word. "study!"
"That map can show names...if we find it..."
"Is that what you mean?" William took out a sheepskin map.
He clicked, and it was immediately covered with lines and names.
"..."
Blake really wanted to know what the three little guys in front of him didn't know or didn't have.
He seriously doubted that if he asked for the crown that Ravenclaw lost, the other party would be able to give him a big surprise every minute!
Suppressing his frustration, Black picked up the map and took a closer look.
After a while, he shook his head: "It's very similar...but the painting process is much better than what we made."
"This Hogwarts map is the Marauder's Map," William explained.
"Many years ago, Fred and George stole the Marauder's Map from Filch's office.
I improved the map according to the tracking spell, and the function is basically the same as the Marauder's map. "
"That's great." Blake also found this, and he rubbed his hands in surprise. "We just need to find Peter's name on it..."
His expression froze.
If Peter could be found on the map, the pair of clever and outrageous little wizards in front of them had already gone to catch him.
"Peter must have erased his name." Black was rarely wiser, his eyes were dark.
"Otherwise you escaped Hogwarts."
Several people sighed at the same time.
William thought for a while, and looked at the Gryffindor lounge on the map.
He suddenly had a crazy idea.
Ron is a little irritable tonight!
He had no reason not to recognize the mouse as not his own Scabbers.
After all, living together for so long, even if you really imagine it, there must be nuances.
Others will admit their mistakes, but he should not be right.
Professor Snape's office was stolen, Peter wouldn't steal the medicinal ingredients, take the opportunity to make compound potion, and become Ron, right?
And the real Ron, who was imprisoned by Peter secretly got up?
William, too, was taken aback by the thought.
His eyes quickly wandered around the Gryffindor dormitory.
But then shook his head, denying the idea.
Because the location of Harry's dormitory clearly has five names.
Three people apart from Neville, among them, the names representing Harry and Ron, were moving quickly across the dormitories.
Ron seemed to be chasing Harry... the two were probably joking.
Peter could erase his name, but he couldn't change his name into Ron directly.
If he had turned into Ron with Polyjuice Potion, Ron himself would surely be imprisoned, making it impossible to move so fast.
The name will probably not appear in the dormitory either.
After all... maps don't lie!
