Chapter 165 163. Wormtail's Efforts
"Peter was hanging from the back of the carriage at the beginning of this year. He found a time when you were not in the carriage, and used some small things given to him by the Dark Lord to sneak into the carriage."
Lily handed over a bone of an unknown animal and a very worn-out box to Dumbledore.
"The bone was attached with a powerful black magic, and Peter used it to temporarily avoid the outer defense of the carriage and broke in. Afterwards, it used this box to hide. At first, the third Weasley family His son's rebellion was indeed instigated by him, and he had been in the carriage for a long time at that time, during which time he discovered the boy's dissatisfaction with his situation and family choices."
"When Arthur and Molly were sent to France to contact Bella who was pretending to be Roland, the Dark Lord was at the most critical moment to win over the high-level pure-blood wizards in the French magic circle. If the statistics go well, even with people like Bella covering up, it is very likely that they will find some problems."
"In order to avoid this risk, the Dark Lord ordered Peter to use the Weasley children in the carriage to create chaos, and try to attract Arthur's attention as much as possible."
"Percy became his best breakthrough. He didn't have a direct conversation with Percy, but passed letters to Percy, recognizing his talent, because he was looked down upon by his younger brother on the carriage, and was looked down upon by the lower grades. The way the students weighed in on him earned his friendship."
"What really made Percy determined to rebel and trust this 'pen pal' whom he had never met before was a letter of appointment issued by the British Minister of Magic."
"I received this letter of appointment when Percy was at home during the summer vacation. During the middle, I suspect that Fudge personally communicated with him face-to-face using Floo powder, but Peter was still in the carriage at that time, and he was just an intermediary. "
"After returning to the carriage, after Percy stated that he was determined to rebel, Peter also suggested that if he made some 'merits' on the carriage before rebelling, he could get better treatment after joining the Ministry of Magic, But the offer was rejected by Percy."
Lupine picked up Lily's words.
"But the original purpose of the Dark Lord has been completed. Arthur and Molly got the news of their son's rebellion, returned from France, and voluntarily resigned from all their positions in order to avoid suspicion, and handed over the work in France to Sirius."
"And after Percy had a problem, we all discovered the problem of someone lurking in the carriage, and conducted three comprehensive searches."
Lupine looked at the small wooden box already in Dumbledore's hands.
"At first, we thought it was because of your flaws in the search of the carriage, and we didn't observe some places that were difficult to attract attention, but after checking Wormtail's memory and finding the box from him, we realized that it was This thing helped him hide in the wagon."
"And the mouse hairs that Jon found in the Charms classroom before, he also deliberately left behind. The Dark Lord also found out that you asked Sirius to go to France instead of Arthur and Molly. He ordered Wormtail Expose your identity to lure Sirius back."
"Although Wormtail was extremely conflicted about this, he still didn't dare to disobey that person's order. This time he aimed at Jon. He knew from Percy that you have great trust in this student, and also through Jon's previous training in Huo The deeds in Gewarts Castle judged his boldness and carefulness. So he took the initiative to expose the clues related to himself to him. After that, as he expected, Jon did not become just a student like ordinary students. Ignore Cuomao's clues and report to you."
"This matter also achieved the desired effect of the Dark Lord. I wrote a letter to Sirius. After getting the news, he lost his job in France and returned to England directly. From then on, we have completely Lost the last chance to learn about the Dark Lord's plans in France and stop him."
Sirius’s face was a bit ugly, the joy of killing Wormtail just now to avenge his friends had disappeared in all odds, and they were simply being manipulated in the palm of their hands.
Wormtail is very familiar with the characters of these people, and has calculated their reactions at every step.
Dumbledore stared at the wooden box in his hand, shook his head calmly and said.
"His mission was accomplished so well, but in the end, his master chose to abandon him."
"Because the Dark Lord has always been very clear that Wormtail has never been truly loyal to him." Lupine said calmly, "As Wormtail himself said before he died, his submission to the Dark Lord only stems from My own fear of him, not any admiration for him personally, or any identification with his pure blood theory."
"The Dark Lord has read everything in his heart, and asking him to come to the carriage to carry out this task is to squeeze the last bit of residual value from him."
"Wormtail also had a premonition of this, but he had no choice but to please his master whom he feared, and from the moment he chose to betray us, he had no other choice. "
Speaking of this, Lupine frowned slightly.
"The only thing I regret now is that I didn't get it from Wormtail's mind. After fully grasping the power in France, what is the main countermeasure that the Dark Lord will implement against us next."
Dumbledore looked up at the sky with deep eyes.
"You don't need to know this from Wormtail's memory. He has mastered the power at the top of France, but that doesn't mean he has completely controlled the French magic circle."
"According to the way he used to control Britain before, there will definitely be a **** suppression, especially in France where there are currently a large number of Muggle wizards. If he wants to stabilize his theory of pure blood superiority, he will put the The number should be controlled to a certain extent. It should not be too large to pose a great threat to his rule, nor should it be so small that there is no one to oppress, and the bottom slaves are missing."
