Hogwarts: I can inherit the legacy of the dead - Chapter 232

Sirius once lay on the cold iron bed in that dark prison, fantasizing about killing the traitor in front of him countless times. Hatred was growing in his heart all the time, almost to the point of getting out of control.

He woke up from nightmares many times, roaring loudly in the middle of the night, as if going crazy, disturbing the scolding and beatings of the Aurors in the prison.

But the thought of revenge seeped into his bone marrow and was so strong and manic that it could not be excreted, torturing him all the time.

And now, this emotion has finally found an outlet…

Sirius’ face turned ferocious, he picked up a wooden chair and hit Peter Pettigrew on the head.

There was a bang, sawdust flew everywhere, and Peter Pettigrew immediately screamed.

He covered his head with his hands, blood stained his forehead and one eye, and his whole body was trembling on the ground.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock…

Blood dripped on the ground, and Sirius’ hand was injured, but he didn’t care at all.

He tore off one leg from the tattered wooden chair, threw the rest to the floor, and raised his hand that was clutching the leg again.

Peter Pettigrew was startled again by the sound of something being thrown.

His face trembled, and he saw Sirius’s movements with his blood-stained eyes, saw the uneven spikes on the legs of the chair, and hurriedly hugged the legs of his once best friend:

“Don’t! Don’t do it!”

Sirius’ hands holding the legs of the chair were shaking, and his chest was so hot that it felt like a volcano was about to erupt.

The tragic scene of James’ death flashed through his mind again. He stared at Peter Pettigrew, who was trembling on the ground and begging for mercy. His voice was as cold as ice, and his words were like iron falling to the ground:

“release!”

“No! Sirius, you can’t do this to me…” Peter Pettigrew tightly hugged Sirius’ thighs with his hands, almost sticking to his legs.

His lips trembled violently, and he panicked and stammered: “We used to…we were the best friends at Hogwarts…”

“Best friend…” Sirius smiled sarcastically, and the veins on his raised neck popped out, and he raised his hand to prick them down.

Peter Pettigrew saw it coming toward his eyes and hurriedly blocked it with his hand.

After scoffing, he let out a shrill scream again. The leg of the chair pierced his palm, and a large amount of blood poured down from his head, making his hair red.

He looked at the bloody palm connected to the wood, and his breathing became rapid:

“Sirius…”

“James…James took good care of me at Hogwarts. He definitely wouldn’t want to see us like this…”

“James…heh James…” Those green years flashed through Sirius’ mind.

Peter Pettigrew was repeatedly discriminated against and ridiculed because of his weird appearance. It was James who was the first to stand up and scold those people for him. Peter Pettigrew came from a poor family and was reluctant to throw away his worn shoes. It was James who secretly bought a new pair of shoes and let the owl It was sent to him as a surprise; Peter Pettigrew felt inferior because of his poor skills in Charms, so he broke into the forbidden book area alone at night and was almost expelled. It was James who came out to take over the responsibility, claiming that he was the one who took him…

But in the end, James died because of Peter Pettigrew, whom he treated like his own brother.

Sirius looked at his ugly former best friend at his feet. He seemed to have calmed down a little because of recalling the past, and slowly spoke:

“James told me that day that he hopes to set the secret keeper of the ‘Loyalty Curse’ to me, so that the mysterious person can only find out where he is hiding from my mouth.”

“I’m grateful for his trust, but I know that I was too flamboyant when I was young, so the mysterious man will definitely regard me as his first target. It doesn’t matter if I die, but I’m afraid that the James family will be affected.”

“So I recommended you to James, as James and I’s mutual best friend. You are usually low-key and have a soft temper. The mysterious person will never notice you, let alone believe that we will The secret of the ‘Red Loyalty Curse’ lies in a person who is usually very timid and fearful of things. “

“In this way, I can attract the mysterious man’s attention in the open, and let him and the Death Eaters come to me and hunt me down; and you can completely turn into a mouse and hide, quietly avoiding everyone’s attention. , keep the secret, and be safe and sound like the James family. “

“Yes…I’m sorry…” Peter Pettigrew lowered his head after hearing this, and he could not help but feel guilty.

But he really had no choice. At that time, the mysterious man was so powerful that he overwhelmed the entire British wizarding world. All the white wizards felt that they could not compete with the Dark Lord, and he was no exception.

So when he accidentally encountered a Death Eater, he took the initiative to be captured, and was already a subordinate of the mysterious man before he reported it.

The mysterious man is cruel and autocratic, especially to his subordinates. Therefore, if he really chooses to keep the secret, there will only be one end, and that is death.

But why should he give up his life for a friend? Is the life of a friend more precious than one’s own?

But all this was hidden in Peter Pettigrew’s heart. He didn’t dare to say it before, let alone now.

Sirius finally softened his tone. If he was irritated again at this time, he might have to pay a heavy price for it.

After he stammered an apology, he didn’t dare to speak again, nor did he dare to raise his head to face Sirius.

Sirius’ eyes remained motionless as he continued to look at him, who was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered and his hair soaked in blood, looking pitiful.

“Why are you sorry? I’m just telling you the story of that day – when you think about it, it sounds like a great idea, right?” Sirius smiled:

“Look, what a good idea. I even lied to James and said I would take you with me to hide and would never risk attracting the attention of the You-Know-Who.”

“I think this may be one of the few ideas that can satisfy me…”

“If I am caught in the end, the You-Know-Who and his group of Death Eaters will only find that they have been fooled. Hehe, it is useless to catch a waste who is not a secret keeper.”

“But, I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it…” Sirius took out the wand from his arms.

The rustling sound made Peter Pettigrew’s body tremble again, and he couldn’t help but look up again.

He saw Sirius, who could laugh just now, was so excited that his teeth were chattering, and he looked like a ghost:

“I didn’t expect that you patted your chest and swore to keep a secret in front of me and James, but it turned out to be as bad as a fart!”

“I didn’t expect that you, as our best friend, would take the initiative to inform the mysterious man and ruin James’s hiding plan!”

“I didn’t expect that James would die almost unrecognizable because of you! Die with eyes wide open!”

The wand suddenly emitted an unsettling light, and Peter Pettigrew was so scared that his nose and tears flowed:

“Don’t…”

But Sirius’ eyes were bloodshot and ferocious, and he almost spit out words from his teeth:

“Go to hell…”

“Disarm you!”

A voice suddenly sounded outside the door, which was extremely harsh in this place where few people visited at night.

Sirius’ wand shook, and although it didn’t fly out of his hand, the white light it released deviated from Peter Pettigrew’s head.

With a sound of “Puff!”, a big hole was blown through Peter Pettigrew’s shoulder, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!

He screamed, and his voice was horrifying, but Sirius didn’t pay any attention to him.

Sirius stared at the window near the door in a daze, and half of a familiar face appeared in the gap closed by the wooden strips.

On that face, a pair of green eyes were looking at the blood on the ground, revealing a look of suspicion.

…

At the same time, in a dormitory of Gryffindor.

An oil painting retracted the bloody light, and the bloody rose in the painting bloomed with thin lines of deep red lines, which spread all over the body of the goblin wizard with a pointed hat below, and also spread all over the portrait.

Meka in front of the portrait stared at it intently, his eyes motionless.

The next moment, the deep red lines also disappeared.

The goblin wizard with a pointed hat slowly moved his fingers.
