Hogwarts Reading Days

"Sorry kid, it's all my fault for hurting you... Live well... Don't do bad things anymore."

Peter suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep.He stretched out his hands and pushed aside the quilt and sat up. His forehead was soaked with sweat at some point, and his breathing became a little short.

As long as he closes his eyes, Peter will go back to that day.His mother sacrificed herself to help him escape from Azkaban prison.

Ever since his mother died in Azkaban prison, self-blame and guilt have been tormenting Peter's heart.

"Live well?" There was a helpless wry smile on Peter's lips. Can he really give up everything, hide his name, and live well?

too difficult.

It's so hard.

In order not to be discovered that he was still alive, Peter had to stay away from the wizarding world and hide himself in the Muggle world.

However, how could a wizard live like an ordinary person?

Of course Peter couldn't, and he knew he couldn't fit into the Muggle world.

Even Arthur Weasley, who is most obsessed with Muggles, can't do this.

Therefore, most of the time Peter can only use magic to solve the problems he encounters so that he can live a more decent life.

Using magic in the Muggle world for a long time can easily cause trouble for oneself, and may also attract employees of the Ministry of Magic, so Peter only stays in a certain place for a few days most of the time.Then, you have to carry your suitcase like a traveler and embark on a new journey alone.

Especially after leaving the UK, the language barrier made communication very difficult and made Peter's life more difficult. He had to use magic frequently to solve the troubles he encountered.

And everything Peter did was not compatible with a good person, and he knew he couldn't become a good person.

Probably let her down again.

The sky was still not bright, and the street outside the window was pitch black.

Peter, who was awakened, didn't feel any sleepiness anymore. After changing into a decent dress, he began to organize his suitcase, and was going to leave the hotel with his suitcase like an ordinary traveler when the sky dawned.

A familiar crackling sound came from outside the street, Peter quickly hid his wand under the bed like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, and his whole body quickly turned into a mouse and crawled under the bed.

A few seconds later, the door of the room was opened without warning.

Three wizards holding wands were vigilant about breaking into Peter's room. They quickly scanned the empty room, and their eyes fell on the half-packed suitcase on the bed, exchanging glances with each other.

"I didn't hear the sound, so it shouldn't be Apparation." A wizard quickly scanned the room, and began to check the places where people could hide in the room, and naturally he didn't miss under the bed.

"It's a man, just left." One of them glanced at the clothes in the suitcase and said, "Who do you think it could be?"

"I don't know, that guy is really vigilant, he probably hasn't run far." Another wizard waved his wand towards the suitcase and took it away.

Before the three left, by the way, the magic that Peter had used on the innkeeper was dispelled.

"Damn it." Peter waited for a long time before coming out from under the bed. He was not in a hurry to change back, but observed the surrounding area for a while to ensure that there was no threat around him, and then he took out his hidden wand from under the bed. Then turn back into human form.

This is not the first time Peter has encountered such a thing.

Using magic at will in the Muggle world, it is easy to be targeted by the Ministry of Magic. This time his luck was relatively bad, and he never expected that he would be targeted so quickly.

However, the situation is not too bad.At least, the wand was saved. As long as the wand was still there, he didn't have to worry about life problems. Magic could allow him to easily get everything in the Muggle world.

Before leaving the inn, Peter secretly borrowed some money from the innkeeper to save himself from the embarrassing situation of having no money.It is quite unwise to use magic rashly now, especially in such an area with dense Muggle crowds. He doesn't want to be targeted by the Ministry of Magic.

So, after borrowing the money, Peter Apparated and left.

Somewhere in a remote alley, Peter appeared out of thin air.He smelled the bad smell in the alley, frowned slightly, and quickly left the alley, bought himself a sandwich with borrowed money in a shop by the roadside, and then wandered around the city Destination walking.

Peter actually didn't know where he was going or what he wanted to do?

Ever since he left England on a Muggle ship, Peter had been wandering all over Europe, and most of the time, Peter just had to avoid wizards and others to avoid being found alive.

"It's really embarrassing, like a stray dog. When Sirius fled, was he also in the same embarrassment as me? No, he must be worse than me. He can only turn into a stray dog ​​and wander around." Peter ate a sandwich while Memories of the guy who made himself so embarrassed.

He tossed the finished sandwich wrapper in the trash and sat in a parkside chair lost in thought.

Why did things become like this?

Peter has asked himself this question more than once.

If it weren't for Voldemort, maybe he wouldn't have become what he is now, but Peter didn't dare to hate Voldemort, and he didn't have the courage.

Therefore, Peter hated Potter, hated Black, and hated Lupine, hated them for pulling him into the Order of the Phoenix, and hated them for bringing him misfortune.

In fact, Peter didn't intend to join the Order of the Phoenix from the beginning, but because of the relationship between Potter, Black and Lupine, he eventually joined the Order of the Phoenix with them.

Then, all the nightmares began from then on!

After being threatened by Voldemort and forced to choose between family and friends, he embarked on a path of no return.

Peter chose his family and betrayed his friends, if they were friends at all.

Betrayal, not only because of the threat of the Dark Lord, Peter is also taking revenge on his friends who brought him misfortune and disaster.

No, they never considered him a friend.

"Not from the beginning," Peter murmured.

Yes!

He has no way out!

Peter didn't want to live like this, he didn't want to live like a stray dog, always afraid, worried that Black would come back to kill him, worried that the Death Eaters would come to kill him.

"Albania."

Peter whispered the name of the place. Legend has it that the Dark Lord is hidden in the forests of this country. If he can help the Dark Lord make a comeback, those Death Eaters who wish to kill him will have to give up their hatred and accept him again. The Ministry of Magic who took Peter's property will also be punished.

Also, Black, Lupine and others.

Peter also hated Albert who sent him to the Azkaban prison. When he escaped from the prison, he also wanted to seek revenge from Albert.

But Peter gave up in the end. He managed to escape, and he didn't want to take the risk. In fact, Peter didn't dare to seek revenge from Albert. The arrangement last time was so miserable that Peter even had feelings for Albert. Some shadows in my heart.

That guy is not easy to mess with, insidious, cunning, and his own abilities are terrifying, known as Dumbledore in his youth.

Peter suspected that the other party could also be adept at using magic without using a wand.

Once the sneak attack fails, it's really over, and the most embarrassing thing is that Peter doesn't know where Albert's home is. It may take time to find out the location of his home, but Peter doesn't dare to take risks. He doesn't want to die yet. It was revealed that he was still alive, and no one would let him go. Leaving the UK as soon as possible was the best choice.

Perhaps, only when the Dark Lord returns, everything will be different.

He doesn't have to live in such a mess like he is now.

At that moment, Peter seemed to have made up his mind and resolutely embarked on a journey to Albania.

The road to Albania was not smooth.

During this period, Peter used Muggle tools most of the time, and sometimes he even had to use the Imperius Curse to control Muggles, allowing him to leave the country with himself and his wand turned into a mouse, so as to avoid attracting the attention of wizards.

It took Peter a full week to arrive in Albania by ship from an Italian port.

Albania is a chaotic and poor country. The Muggles there are very poor, the population is pitifully small, and there is no Ministry of Magic. Many dark creatures and dark wizards like to settle in the Albanian forest.

However, this really broke Peter a bit.

The Albanian forest is neither big nor small. It is not easy to find the Dark Lord hidden in such a country. No one knows exactly which forest the Dark Lord is hiding in. Peter had to search forest by forest.

Finding someone is not an easy task, especially when the target is the Dark Lord, it is even more difficult to find him.

However, Peter has a rather special way of searching.

Probably because he is an Animagus himself, Peter is relatively close to other animals, especially mice, and there is always a strange close relationship.

Whenever Peter turns into a mouse, he can communicate with the mice in the forest and inquire about the news in the forest, which greatly improves his efficiency in finding the Dark Lord. After all, no one is better than the residents living in the forest. Learn about the situation in the forest.

Peter spent a lot of time, but he didn't find the Dark Lord, but found a bunch of dark creatures, especially vampires, banshees and trolls, and even some wizards settled here, but he just couldn't find any trace of the Dark Lord. Although Peter was a little disappointed, he also knew that this was a normal thing. If the Dark Lord was looking for it, he would be found, not the so-called "Legend that the Dark Lord is hiding here".

Peter did not give up easily. He was screening the forests in Albania one by one. I have to say that the forest area of ​​this country is really not average. At least [-]% of the land is covered by forests.

Time is slowly stripping Peter's patience, but for a guy who doesn't know what to do, this kind of boring thing is undoubtedly suitable for killing time, and communicating with mice is actually not too boring, he Every time I can learn a lot of information about the forest under my feet, I only need to pay some food.

Moreover, if you stay in Albania, you don't have to worry about wizards, at least basically there are very few wizards here.

He has already decided that if he doesn't find the Dark Lord, he will settle here and stay away from those right and wrong. At least this land is more suitable for him to live in than Britain or even Europe.

Yes, there are quite a few outlaws living here itself.

"There are not many forests left. Is it really just a legend?" Peter held the map he got from the Muggles, and the forests marked on the map were marked with crosses one by one.

Most of the legends are actually more or less based.

Peter came to the edge of a forest again, and the surrounding sky had completely darkened. The dark forest looked a bit hideous, but it couldn't scare Peter away. He used to sneak into the forest at night.

However, Peter was not in a hurry to go into the forest now, because he was hungry and planned to eat something at a nearby Muggle tavern to fill his stomach, and he needed to bring some presents for his mouse friends.

When Peter entered the hotel with a suitcase disguised as a Muggle, he suddenly heard someone calling himself.

"Peter Pettigrew, are you still alive?"

Peter was startled, his heart was beating violently, and countless thoughts flooded his head.

When he turned his head, he saw a strange woman.

Peter knew Bertha Jorkins, who worked at the Ministry of Magic and was a woman with a not very bright mind.

"Well, alive, a lot has happened."

Peter lowered his eyes. He knew that he had to eliminate hidden dangers. If Bertha Jorkins returned to the Ministry of Magic with the news that he was still alive, God only knew what would happen.

Maybe some people think that Bertha Jorkins is being stupid, but Sirius, Lupine and even other Death Eaters can definitely guess that they are still alive, and then come to make trouble for him. This is something that Peter cannot tolerate , he must erase the memory of Bertha Jorkins meeting him, and even kill her.

"I heard you..."

"Some things are not suitable to talk about here." Peter raised his hand and interrupted, "Let's go out and have a chat, a lot of things have happened recently."

Bertha Jorkins hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and followed Peter out of the hotel.

The two walked briskly at night, and Peter began to tell something that happened to him.

For example, how he escaped from Azkaban prison, why he betrayed the Potters, and why he turned into a mouse to hide.

"If it were you, what would you choose, watch your family members being killed, or compromise." Peter said with a wry smile.

"So, you betrayed the Potters?" Bertha Jorkins asked back.

"No, no. Actually, I secretly hinted to the Potters and told them to run away quickly, and let the mysterious person escape. It's a pity that they didn't have time to escape and were blocked, so they died." Peter couldn't hide the expression on his face. He is shaping himself into a person who is not dangerous, "Later, my mother knew that I was still alive, and she was very guilty all the time, thinking that what happened back then was because of her, so I was forced to do it. With such a choice, she felt that she was about to die, so she took compound medicine to replace me and died in Azkaban Prison, she hoped that I could live well, so I came here to start a new life."

"Then why didn't you come out and prove Blake's innocence?" Bertha Jorkins continued.

"I would like to, but Sirius wants to kill me, and the Death Eaters also want to kill me. If I stand up, I will die." Peter asked back, "If it were you, would you be willing?"

"After the Potters died, Sirius hunted me down. I tried to explain all this to him, but Sirius just didn't want to believe it, thinking that I killed the Potters and used powerful magic to try to Killed me. Then our spell-collision blew up the whole street, and I ended up scurrying down the sewers in the form of a rat."

"As for Black's matter, it's simply that the Ministry of Magic needs to find someone to take the blame. After all, many Muggles have died, so they have to give an explanation. And when Black was laughing over there again, he was caught by the Ministry of Magic without trial. Throw it directly into Azkaban Prison." Peter couldn't help laughing at himself, "Actually, I didn't expect this to happen."

"You probably don't know that my mother donated most of Peter's family fortune to the Ministry of Magic in order to meet me in prison."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Peter stopped in his tracks and said sarcastically, "Otherwise, why do you think Minister of Magic Fudge would allow her to visit me in Azkaban Prison?"

"How come..." Before Bertha Jorkins finished speaking, Peter saw Peter pointing at himself with a magic wand. The next moment, a red light lit up under the night, and Bertha Jorkins was just like that Peter's Stunning Spell fell, paying the price for his own stupidity.
