Well Said! Who Is Willing to Sacrifice?

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

The loyal Peter did not gain the Death Eaters' trust.

However, the Death Eaters also knew very well that the only hope of escape was Peter!

"We will help you!" The mad woman looked at Peter balefully. "In a few days, when the Aurors let their guard down, we will create a disturbance so that you can escape. As for when you go out, the Dark Mark will naturally guide you…"

After Peter nodded, she turned to look out of the cell and continued asking.

"Then… who would be willing to sacrifice themselves?!"

The depths of Azkaban fell silent, and it was only natural that there would be a great disturbance in order to help Pettigrew escape.

Recently, the Aurors have been in a state of high tension, and once they cause trouble, they will most likely be the target of the Aurors' anger and will most likely be executed!

However, the silence only lasted for a few seconds before someone burst out laughing.

"I'll do it. I'm going to go crazy if I stay here any longer…"

"Hehe… Count me in… Let's make a scene…"

More and more people began to speak, and those who were imprisoned in the depths of Azkaban were Death Eaters who were loyal to Lord Voldemort and would die for him…

"Enough! If we all die, what then? This operation will only take three people! And… we need to plan!" the madwoman scolded them.

The Death Eaters gradually regained their composure and began to confer with each other, except for Peter, who had been cowering in a corner, shivering…

Meanwhile, in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts,

With a great flare of fire, Dumbledore comes out of it.

"Professor Dumbledore, what's the situation?" Ivan asked urgently, taking a few steps forward.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione also looked at Dumbledore expectantly.

"It seems that I was a little late. As predicted, Peter Pettigrew escaped, and it was his mother who rescued him!" Dumbledore shook his head and explained the situation briefly.

Harry and the others fell silent when they learned that Mrs Peter, the mother of Pettigrew, had died in Azkaban, sacrificing her life to help Pettigrew escape.

Ivan, on the other hand, had an idea and said, "Professor, if Pettigrew escaped not long ago, why don't we just use that?"

Having finally caught Pettigrew, Ivan did not want his efforts to go to waste, so he thought of the Time-Turner.

As long as he used it to go back a few hours ago and wait for Peter at the execution ground, would he be able to escape?

Dumbledore gave Ivan a look of surprise; he could read between the lines, of course, and retorted, "Hales, you should know that history does not tolerate change! When I arrived at the execution ground, Peter was gone…"

"That's true, but there are other ways, aren't there? For example, we could try to catch him after that!" Yvonne scowled, quickly finding a solution.

Since the history of Pettigrew's escape could not be changed, the Time-Turner would confirm his whereabouts and capture him…

Ivan does not believe that Dumbledore did not think of this.

"A very good offer…" Dumbledore nodded in agreement, but continued before Ivan could rejoice. "It is a pity that I have returned it to the Ministry…"

Ivan frowned in disappointment. How could things be so coincidental?

"Ivan, Professor Dumbledore, what are you talking about?" Harry asked, looking at them in confusion.

Ron is equally clueless as to what Ivan and Dumbledore are talking about.

Hermione was the only one who understood and guessed that it had to do with the Time-Turner.

"We're just discussing a way to find Pettigrew," Dumbledore said, changing the subject.

"Anyway, I'll keep an eye on Peter Pettigrew and let you know if the Ministry finds him."

After learning some details, the four of them returned disappointed, having come to report on their findings.

Before leaving, Yvonne cast a stray glance at the right-hand corner of the Headmaster's office before turning away with Harry and the others…

When the rumble of the Guardian Beast's descent could be heard, Snape removed the Disillusionment Charm from his body and placed a bottle of golden potion on the table. He turned to the door and spoke coldly.

"He should have spotted me!"

"Yes, the boy has always been sharp and clever…" Dumbledore said appreciatively, taking the potion from the table and drinking it.

However, the unpleasant taste of the potion made Dumbledore frown, and he complained, "Severus… I think you might want to improve this potion… a bit more sugar than the next?"

"As long as you're not worried about dying suddenly, I'll give it a try next time," Snape said coldly, his anger rising as Dumbledore continued to joke.

"Now that Peter Pettigrew is gone… he will go to the Dark Lord when he has nowhere else to go, and the Dark Lord will soon become powerful with his help. You should have used the Time-Turner to capture Peter Pettigrew as Harls suggested!

It should still be with you, shouldn't it? As I recall, the Ministry only asks for the return of magical artefacts applied for at the end of the school year…"

Snape spoke urgently, unable to understand why Dumbledore would sit back and watch Pettigrew escape when there was a solution.

"But I don't have much time, Severus!"

Dumbledore interrupted Snape calmly, his words barely breaking, and after a slight pause he continued.

"It was foretold that Voldemort would return eventually, Peter or no one else. The question is how he will return… sooner is better than later!"

"You have one year! And you expect to destroy the Dark Lord in that time?" Snape stared at Dumbledore in astonishment, having guessed what Dumbledore was thinking, and because of it he was incredulous.

Snape woke up with a start and spoke slowly.

"Or have you found a way to destroy him?"
