Chapter 231, taught by Professor Lockhart
Ron suddenly wasn't so sad anymore.
He looked at Harry, who was suppressing his anger, with some concern, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The young wizards around were stunned.
Some were shocked by the cruelty of the word "war," while others were stirred by the words "Order of the Phoenix," "Death Eaters," and "Vanity Fairy." Some shared Harry's indignation, while others felt a sense of dread, empathizing with the Weasley brothers...
Hermione stood to the side, somewhat worried.
She was at a loss. She didn't want to go against her conscience and stop Harry from avenging his parents, but she was also afraid that Harry would be arrested and sent to Azkaban for murder, even if there were extenuating circumstances, it was not a reason to get away with murder.
In a corner of the cave, Grindelwald was surprised to find that the young Snape had managed to break the full-body binding spell he had cast without using a wand.
Old Ge wouldn't think he was old and useless because of this, or that the power of his spells had decreased.
He was fully aware of his spellcasting abilities and that his imprisonment had not weakened him in the slightest.
"Give me back my wand!" Snape's voice was somewhat pleading.
Grindelwald was silent for a moment, then sighed and handed over his wand. "Alright, you've earned my respect."
Peter Pettigrew can be used, but it's not mandatory; if he dies, he dies.
His attitude wasn't that firm.
Snape nervously retrieved his wand, gave the old man a deep look, and finally said thank you before preparing to dispel the Illusion Curse.
But before he could cast the spell, Harry spoke up from the crowd.
"If you did all of this..."
Harry's voice trembled slightly, but his eyes were unwavering. "Sirius..."
"Yes, I did it... Sirius feels terrible... He has to pay the price for his arrogance... He's always like this... Haha... He insisted on making me take the blame for James and Lily's secret... I didn't want to at all, but he had to tell me... He ruined me, and he ruined James too..."
"He caught me...knowing that it was me, the incompetent one who couldn't keep the secret, who leaked it...but he's still the same old him...self-righteous...he thinks he should bear the responsibility for James and Lily's deaths...so he went to jail without saying a word...even when Dumbledore wanted to get something out of him...he wouldn't say...still the same self-righteous attitude..."
"That's enough!"
Harry interrupted him coldly, "Professor Lockhart said we shouldn't judge others based on their character flaws, or stereotype them as inherently bad. My parents and Sirius certainly agree with that, which is why they're willing to believe you!"
"I'm willing to believe that you, a timid person, can become brave because of the people who care about you!"
"Sirius didn't wrong my parents, he didn't wrong me, and he didn't wrong you! Only you, you've wronged everyone who cares about you!"
"All I see is you constantly criticizing others, without ever acknowledging that you've done anything wrong. That's the most detestable thing!"
"From the moment you betrayed us, you should have known that no one in this world would care about you anymore, because you killed them all!"
Little Pettigrew fell silent, his mind in a daze. His expression was somewhat blank under the influence of various potions, spells, and the soul bonfire beneath his feet, but tears of sorrow streamed from his small eyes.
Does he realize he was wrong?
Of course he knew; he always knew he had made a mistake.
He also knew, of course, that from now on, no one would care about him, this rat-like person.
But he asked himself honestly, if he really went through something like this again, would he still betray the same person?
The answer doesn't seem worth considering—yes, he will betray you.
So he will feel sadness and pain, but if he still wants to live well and outlive Dumbledore, Snape, and others, and return to human society after they all die, he has to tell himself that it was others who made him make mistakes!
in the corner.
Grindelwald looked at Harry with some surprise and exclaimed, "This is the Savior? He looks quite impressive!"
The people living in the Mushroom House sometimes chatted about the kids in the Duel Club. He once asked Gilderoy which kid he thought was the most promising.
Gilderoy's answer was Harry Potter.
Because of Gilderoy's teachings, and because Harry's path in magic was truly suited to Gilderoy's guidance.
Gilderoy shamelessly said that it was Harry's good fortune to meet him, that such a wonderful child could meet a teacher who specialized in the power of the mind.
Gilderoy would say that many people don't have the courage to answer the call of adventure, but Harry is a child who would gladly go even without the call of adventure.
Highly praised.
Grindelwald has now witnessed it firsthand.
The latest novel is first published here!
"He wants to save Sirius, the Order of the Phoenix who escaped from Azkaban?" Old Man Gertrude saw Harry's target at a glance, exclaimed in amazement, glanced at Snape beside him, and then chuckled.
"Severus, what are we going to do now?"
"You want to avenge Lily Potter, but Lily Potter's son plans to keep Sirius Black alive to exonerate the person you hate?"
Snape remained silent with a grim face, only closing his eyes in anguish, without taking another step forward.
The events in the cave were not over yet.
The world has never been bound to revolve around Harry Potter.
At least in the eyes of the children in the Duel Club under Professor Lockhart's tutelage, each of them is the protagonist of their own fairy tale.
So after Harry finished asking his questions, the others took over from Peter Pettigrew.
Everyone has information they want to know. Some are curious about Voldemort's methods, some are curious about how someone as powerful as Peter Pettigrew managed to survive for over a decade in the Weasley family, which is quite strong, and some are curious about the war from back then...
The little wizards wanted to know so many things.
Thus, Grindelwald and Snape truly witnessed what the cruelty of a little wizard was like.
Several people even brought out paper and pens and began to record the interrogation, organizing and writing down every word. Some of the older students, being mischievous, even had the wild idea of compiling this information into a book and publishing it to earn some Galleons to fund the dueling club.
You could even invest in the Quidditch Duel Club that Percy plans to start after he graduates next year, or the Weasley twins' prank research.
Lockhart's influence on these students went far beyond just magical research.
By the time Professor McGonagall and the others arrived after receiving news from Professor Snape, the young wizards had already compiled hundreds of pages of information, filled with all sorts of horrifying details.
"Merlin's beard!" Professor McGonagall and the others were stunned to see Pettigrew, who was barely clinging to life with healing magic from the young wizards, whose legs were burned to charcoal, whose body was covered in bruises from consuming too many random potions, and whose eyes were vacant.
"Is this how Professor Lockhart teaches you?" Professor McGonagall asked angrily.
The young wizards stood obediently to the side, while Ron, Harry, and Hermione exchanged a strange look, as if to say, "Yes, Professor Lockhart taught them."
