"So, Jerry, you passed the Marauder's Map and found out that Pettigrew, who had been dead for many years, was actually moving in the castle, and later found out that Pettigrew moved in the same trajectory as Banban, so you became suspicious?"

After listening to Jerry's explanation, the three of them understood the function of the Marauder's map and why Jerry thought Banban was a petit star.

"Yes, I thought it was a problem with the map before, but the Sirius incident made me think that maybe it wasn't the Marauder's map that had a problem. Scabbers might really be Peter Pettigrew, who is also Arnie like Sirius. Magus!"

Jerry nodded and looked at Ron again:

"Originally, I wanted to tell the principal directly, but considering that Banban is your pet, I thought I should try it outside first, and then make a decision after understanding the situation."

"Thank you, it's just... just, I don't know what to do now. Why did he turn into a mouse and hide in our house?"

Ron looked at the guy in front of him who was frozen with only his eyes moving. He really couldn't connect it with the pet Scabbers that he kept in his pocket every day.

"In "The Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century", it is recorded that Peter Pettigrew was killed by Sirius twelve years ago with an explosive spell, which also killed many Muggles at that time. He was recognized as a hero in the wizarding world. Awarded First Class by the Order of Merlin..."

Hermione recalled the magic book she had read, and said all the information about Pettigrew.

"Why should an innocent person turn into a mouse and hide? Why should everyone think he's dead? Why is the first thing he did after being restored to a human form was to run away?"

Jerry asked several questions in a row, which suddenly made the three of Hermione fall into contemplation.

After a while, Harry was the first to notice that Jerry had something to say, and said directly:

"Jerry, do you think Peter Pettigrew isn't a hero like the book says, maybe there's something else hidden there?"

"As expected of the protagonist of this world, his brain is still quite fast."

Jerry nodded, indicating that he had guessed correctly.

At this time, Ron frowned and had a different point of view:

"I don't think he's a bad guy, why don't you unlock the magic first, Jerry, and let him explain to himself what's going on?"

Having kept pets for so many years, Ron still has some feelings for Banban.

Hermione shook her head and analyzed rationally:

"I think it should be handed directly to the professor and the principal, we can't tell if what he said is the truth or a lie, and in case he's not a good guy, unlock the magic, he might attack us directly."

"Old man's words!"

Seeing Hermione's answer, Jerry nodded silently.

Under normal circumstances, in the face of an adult wizard like Pettigrew who can't tell the difference between good and bad, it is the safest and safest solution to hand him over to the headmaster.

However, it is obviously not a normal situation now, because of his existence.

"Hermione is right, but I happen to have something here that can confirm whether he is a good person or not, and why he didn't die back then, and turned into a mouse and hid in Ron's house."

Jerry smiled and took out a small bottle of blue potion from inside the wizard's robe.

"what is this?"

Ron looked at the magical blue potion with a curious look on his face.

Jerry spit out two words:

"Veritaserum!"

"What, Veritaserum, that's a very difficult potion. I remember to use 5 mg of Sri Lankan vulture's bile, 3 grams of Boroxia grass, 3 grams of half-ear grass buds, and Icelandic Juris..."

Seeing that Hermione seemed to want to explain the entire recipe and refining method of Veritaserum, Harry interrupted her and asked:

"What does it do?"

Hermione, who was interrupted, looked a little unhappy, but continued to explain:

"This is a potion that can make people tell the truth. Just three drops can work. However, the refining materials are complex and rare, and it is extremely difficult to refine. Professor Snape doesn't seem to have a few bottles. I Say, you should really listen to the class, these potions classes have been taught, by the way, Jerry, did you make this yourself?"

"Yes, I bought a lot of herbs and materials about Veritaserum when I traveled to Greece, and I tried to refine it according to the method taught by Professor Snape, but I didn't expect it to be successful.

If you are interested, you can try it next time too, I have quite a few leftover herbs and ingredients here! "

Jerry opened the cork on the crystal bottle and put three drops of Veritaserum into Pettigrew's mouth, which couldn't move.

Although the herbs for Veritaserum are rare, as long as he can buy them, he can use growth magic to spawn them, and then multiply them into a grassland.

Therefore, in fact, Jerry can collect a few baskets of various herbs for refining Veritaserum by simply collecting them on the ground in the box space.

Others like the auxiliary Sri Lankan vulture bile, ferret heart tendon, salamander serum, etc., are not a problem, because he also bought a lot to keep in the box space.

Seeing the Veritaserum drop into his mouth, Pettigrew's eyes immediately showed a look of horror, but his body was frozen by Jerry, and he couldn't resist except for the ability to move his eyes.

"Stop the curse, quickly imprison, okay, you can ask."

After infusing the Veritaserum, Jerry first released Pettigrew's full-body restraint spell, then tied it firmly with a rope spell.

The Rope Charm is different from the Whole Body Binding Charm. It is an extension of the Transfiguration Charm. It can make twine and then bind the target according to the wizard's wishes.

It is a magic spell specially invented to deal with some magical animals with high magic resistance~ For example, like a centaur, your whole body restraint spell may be directly offset by the centaur's magic resistance, and then an arrow Give you a chill.

But if you use the rope spell, you can instantly tie the centaur into a zongzi, making it completely lose its resistance.

Of course, it can also be used to tie the limbs of Pettigrew as it is now, so that it can speak normally and answer questions under the condition of ensuring safety.

"Mr. Peter, please tell me what happened in your twelve years and why you turned into a mouse and hid in Ron's house!"

Hearing Jerry's words, Harry, Hermione, and Ron all stepped forward and started asking questions.

And Peter Pettigrew, under the influence of Veritaserum, began to answer one by one.

Half an hour later, Harry's eyes were red, he drew out his wand angrily, and yelled at Peter Pettigrew:

"Ah, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

However, before he could use his magic, Hermione, who was fast-eyed and quick-handed, physically took away the wand:

"Harry, I think you need to calm down, calm down, think about it, if you kill Pettigrew now, no one will know that Sirius was wronged, and he's still locked up in Azkaban!"
