The Alchemist of Harry Potter

The door of the dormitory was slammed shut, the voices of Harry and Ron gradually faded away, and the room fell into a dead silence.

After an unknown amount of time, a mouse crawled out from under the bed, ran onto the table and started nibbling at the snack packaging, nibbling at the snacks Harry and Ron brought back from the Honey Duke candy store.

Scabbers prefers human food to those for mice.

This eating style has something to do with Scabbers once being a human.

Yes, the rat named Scabbers was a human, not a rat.

Although he has lived in the body of a mouse for more than ten years, he was also a wizard, a wizard named Pettigrew Peter.

That's right, it is the same name as Pettigrew Peter, who was killed by Sirius Black and finally received the First Class Merlin Medal, or Pettigrew Peter is his past.

If someone says that, he must be crazy.

Everyone thought Blake was crazy, and Peter wished his old friend was crazy.

However, not only did Black not drive the Dementors insane, but his mind was so clear that he could even spot his tracks in a newspaper.

After Sirius Black escaped from prison, Peter knew that Black was not crazy, especially from the information he heard from Mr. Weasley, that there were various signs before Black's escape that the other party had discovered that he was still alive, so he ignored it. Everything escapes from Azkaban and tries to break into Hogwarts Castle and kill himself.

It was all so crazy, and Sirius Black had tried it once, and although he failed, Peter knew Sirius Black, and the guy would never let him go easily.

The seemingly well-protected Hogwarts Castle is not as safe as it seems, and Blake knows the location of most of the secret passages in the castle and can easily enter the castle through the outer guards.

This made Pettigrew Peter always worried, afraid that Blake would suddenly appear that day and kill himself.

Even, if Sirius Black's mind is clearer, he doesn't have to risk killing Peter, as long as Peter is forced to restore his original shape and let everyone know that Pettigrew Peter is still alive, then he should be out of luck.

"It's all your fault!"

Peter looked at the photo of the Potters on the bedside table, and the hatred in his heart was slowly growing. He had been living in disguise as a mouse for more than ten years.

But how many decades are there in life?

He hated it all.

Looking at the Potters dancing in the photo, Peter fell silent.

He remembered that when he was still in school at Hogwarts, the power of the mysterious man had spread all over the British wizarding world. Every time a Dark Mark appeared above a house, it meant that someone had been murdered by a Death Eater, and it was the darkest period in Britain.

Peter actually knew that James had always believed that his family's dragon pox had something to do with the Death Eaters, who murdered James' relatives in a despicable way because they were unwilling to yield or remain neutral.

Making people sick with dragonpox was a popular way of murder in those years, and it is said that the only Muggle minister in the British wizarding world died of a dragonpox attack.

At the time, Peter persuaded Potter to take Lily out of England, away from those dangers, but James refused, even roaring at him: "I don't want to be a coward, and I won't hide, You-Know-Who can't bring my family down, Don't make me submit, I will resist them and resist to the end."

At that time, the power of the mysterious people was simply not something they could fight against.

The four had just graduated from school and joined the Order of the Phoenix, an anti-mystery organization formed by Dumbledore.

In fact, Peter didn't really want to join the Order of the Phoenix, he just wanted to live in peace, but he finally joined the Order of the Phoenix.

Peter hates Potter's so-called bravery. What good is fighting the most evil monster in history but losing his own life?

Isn't your life more important?

Did he plan to put Lily, who was following him, in danger as well?

If they are dead and they have no future, what's the point.

Everyone said that You-Know-Who was afraid of Dumbledore, but the situation was still not optimistic, and Dumbledore didn't have much energy to protect them.

Well, after joining the Order of the Phoenix, Peter realized that the noble cause of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​to try to save more people, and then fight against the mysterious man together.

However, what does that have to do with him, is he putting his own life on it in order to save innocent lives?

Peter really didn't like the Order of the Phoenix.

Especially after joining the Order of the Phoenix, Peter has always been worried about being scared, afraid that Voldemort will appear at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix one day. I am afraid that when I go out to perform a mission one day, I will be caught by the minions of the mysterious man, tortured severely, and finally lose my life.

However, the nightmare soon became a reality!

Voldemort appeared on his doorstep, and luckily, when Peter went back, he didn't find the Dark Mark floating above their house.

Instead of killing Peter and his mother, Voldemort gave him a choice.

surrender or die.

Or, Voldemort thought it was a good opportunity to plant a spy in Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix, so Peter and his mother survived.

If he hadn't joined the Order of the Phoenix, this might not have happened, and his mother wouldn't have been affected by it.

However, no if.

At first, Peter actually thought about asking Dumbledore for help, asking Dumbledore to save his mother, and asking Dumbledore to hide them, but Peter knew very well that betraying Voldemort was the only way to die.

What shook him, however, was what the Death Eaters had shown him.

Whether it was the Ministry of Magic or the informants that the Order of the Phoenix believed to provide information, many of them were actually Voldemort's people, and his influence spread throughout the British wizarding world, all of which made Peter feel extremely hopeless.

He knew he had no choice.

"What's the benefit of rejecting it? Are you impatient?"

Pettigrew Peter didn't forget what he said in his message to Ludo Bagman.

Ludo Bagman, apparently much smarter than him, used his connection to August Rookwood to get a job at the Ministry of Magic.

You can't play Quidditch all your life. If you retire better, you will become a Quidditch coach, but it is obviously a better choice to enter the Department of Magic and Sports at the Ministry of Magic.

And he wasn't branded with the Dark Mark, just like Peter, and even if he ended up being accused of delivering messages for Voldemort, he could still find excuses for himself.

After that conversation, Pettigrew Peter completely compromised, and he also wanted to do something for himself through Voldemort, as many wizards like Voldemort's allegiance did.

In helping Voldemort gather intelligence on the Order of the Phoenix, Peter did not do his best to do this, but only revealed some less important information to Voldemort.

In fact, Peter has no access to too important news.

Later, Voldemort learned of a prophecy, and James' son was the person in the prophecy. After learning that the Potter family was going to hide, Voldemort asked him to become Potter's secrecy, and promised to let him in the The Ministry of Magic has a good place.

In fact, Peter had known for a long time that even if Voldemort hadn't promised those things, he would have no choice.

Voldemort's power is at its peak, the Ministry of Magic has long been infiltrated into a plug by the Death Eaters, and all the efforts of the Order of the Phoenix are of little use.

After he betrayed the Order of the Phoenix and his former friends, he had no other choice, and Peter didn't even have the courage to betray Voldemort.

He doesn't want to die yet.

Everything went better than expected, Peter told James that he was not as brave as Blake, Lupin, and James, and the situation was getting worse and worse, and he was terrified and wanted to hide abroad, but was afraid Lupin and Black say he's a coward, so Peter wants to be the Potters' secrecy so that he can hide in plain sight, where the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters can't find him.

James agreed and apologized to Peter.

"It's too late, I can't look back." Peter, who changed back into a human form, murmured while looking at the photo of the Potters.

Blake will never give up easily, he will definitely break into Hogwarts Castle again and try to kill himself.

Before Black gets caught again, he has to play dead once, and the mad cat just keeps chasing him, which is a good opportunity for him.

Peter put the cat fur he collected on the ground, bit his palm, smeared blood on Ron's sheet, and then turned back into a mouse and slid away.
