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

After listening to Jerry's explanation, the three of them finally understood the function of the Marauder's Map and why Jerry thought Scabbers was Pettigrew.

"Yes, I thought there was something wrong with the map before, but what happened with Sirius made me think that maybe there was something wrong with the Marauder's Map. Scabbers might really be Peter Pettigrew. He and Sirius are both Arnies.

Mags!”

Jerry nodded, looked at Ron again and said:

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

"Thank you, but 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 and could only move his eyes. He really couldn't connect him with his pet Scabbers, who he kept in his pocket every day.

"It is recorded in "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century" that Peter Pettigrew was killed by Sirius with an explosion curse twelve years ago. It also killed many Muggles at that time. He was recognized as a hero in the wizarding world. After his death

Awarded the First Class Medal by the Order of Merlin."

Hermione recalled the magic books she had read and told all the information about Pettigrew.

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

Jerry asked several questions in a row, causing Hermione and the three of them to fall into deep thought.

After a while, Harry was the first to realize that there was something in Jerry's words and said directly:

"Jerry, do you think Peter Pettigrew is not a hero like the book says? There may be some other hidden secret?"

"As expected of the protagonist of this world, his mind spins very quickly."

Jerry nodded, indicating that he guessed correctly.

But at this time Ron frowned and had a different point of view:

"I don't think he's a bad person. How about Jerry undoing the magic first and letting him explain what's going on?"

After having pets for so many years, Ron still has some feelings for Scabbers.

Hermione shook her head and analyzed rationally:

"I think it should be handed over directly to the professor and principal. We can't tell whether what he said is the truth or a lie, and if he is not a good person and unlocks the magic, he may attack us directly."

"Speaking of wisdom!"

Seeing Hermione's answer, Jerry nodded silently.

Under normal circumstances, when faced with an adult wizard like Pettigrew who cannot distinguish between good and bad, handing him over to the principal is the safest and most secure solution.

However, this is obviously not a normal situation because of his presence.

"What Hermione said makes sense, but I just have something here that can confirm whether he is a good person, and why he didn't die and turned into a mouse and hid in Ron's house."

Jerry smiled and took out a small bottle of blue potion from his wizard robe.

"What's this?"

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

Jerry mouthed two words:

"Veritaserum!"

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

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

"What does it do?"

Hermione seemed a little unhappy at being interrupted, but continued to explain:

"This is a potion that can make people tell the truth. It only takes three drops to have an effect. However, the refining materials are complex and rare, making it extremely difficult to make. Professor Snape doesn't seem to have a few bottles. I

Said, you should really listen to the lecture carefully, these potions are all taught in the potions class, by the way, Jerry, did you refine this yourself?"

"Yes, I bought a lot of herbs and materials for truth serum when I traveled to Greece, and I tried to refine it according to the method taught by Professor Snape. I didn't expect that it was really successful.

If you are interested, you can try it next time, I still have a lot of remaining herbs and materials here!"

Jerry opened the cork on the crystal bottle and dropped three drops of truth serum into Pettigrew's mouth, which could not move.

Although the veritaserum herb is rare, as long as he can buy it, he can use growth magic to induce it and then multiply it into a grassland.

Therefore, in fact, Jerry can collect several baskets of various herbs for refining truth serum by just collecting them on the ground in the box space.

Others, such as the auxiliary Sri Lankan vulture bile, ferret heart tendon, salamander serum, etc., are not a problem because he also bought a lot and kept them in the box space.

Seeing the Veritaserum dripping into his mouth, Pettigrew's eyes immediately showed a look of horror. However, his body was immobilized by Jerry, and except for the movement of his eyeballs, he was unable to resist at all.

"The curse will stop immediately and I will be imprisoned quickly. Okay, you can ask now."

After dripping the veritaserum, Jerry first lifted Pettigrew's body-binding spell, and then tied him tightly with a rope spell.

The Rope Spell is different from the Whole Body Binding Spell. It is an extension of the Transformation Spell. It can create hemp rope 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 horseman, your whole body binding spell may be directly offset by the horseman's magic resistance, and then an arrow will give you a chill.

But if you use the rope spell, you can instantly tie the centaur into a rice dumpling, making it completely lose its ability to resist.

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 while ensuring safety.

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

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

And Peter Pettigrew, also under the influence of Veritaserum, began to answer everything.

Half an hour later, Harry's eyes were red, his face full of anger, he pulled out his wand, and yelled at Peter Pettigrew:

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

However, before he could use his magic, the quick-eyed Hermione took the wand away physically:
