HP: Becoming a Maiden Heartthrob

"So this is the person who killed my parents?"

After Peter Pettigrew was caught, Dumbledore explained to Harry what Peter Pettigrew had done.

Harry clenched his fists as he looked at Peter Pettigrew, who was thrown aside by Snape with a bleeding head and had fainted.

"That is not certain yet," said Dumbledore.

After all, this is just Nalilian's one-sided statement.

However, because Peter Pettigrew had indeed lived with Ron Weasley disguised as a mouse as Nallylian had said, and coupled with some inexplicable feelings, Dumbledore actually believed this girl.

But he still didn't tell all the professors about this as she asked, he only told Severus.

Harry looked at Narielian beside him.

She had fallen asleep due to drinking and was placed on a small bed that Headmaster Dumbledore had conjured up with a Transfiguration spell, covered with a quilt and sleeping soundly.

But she kept holding onto his wizard robes, keeping him at her side.

So, because she knew about this, she asked Headmaster Dumbledore so seriously to catch this person?

Did she want to avenge him?

Looking at the girl's sleeping face, his eyes suddenly became hot.

"Wouldn't it be possible to tell by using Veritaserum on this sewer rat?"

As the hero who captured Peter Pettigrew, Snape acted very indifferent.

"Veritaserum?" Harry looked at Dumbledore.

He knew Snape wouldn't answer his questions.

"A potion that causes people to tell the truth," Dumbledore explained, nodding to Snape.

He agreed to use Veritaserum on the man, since he was the Death Eater she said he was.

With his consent, Snape turned and walked out of the headmaster's office and went to his office to get the truth serum.

Dumbledore looked at Narellean who was sleeping beside Harry.

"Principal Dumbledore," Harry couldn't help but ask another question in his mind.

"Who is this innocent man that Nalilian is talking about?"

Dumbledore looked away from Narilla's face and towards him, his eyes kind. "He is your godfather, his name is Sirius Black."

"Godfather?" Harry was stunned and his heart moved.

what does that mean?

Could that be what he meant?

"That's your family," Dumbledore saw what he was thinking and said what he was thinking.

If what Nalilian said was true, then if Voldemort was defeated, the child would be able to have a real home.

Dumbledore was ashamed of him.

If he had insisted on being James and Lily's secret keeper, such a tragedy would not have happened.

He lost both his parents.

Everything Severus guarded was in vain.

Harry swallowed. Family?

Is he going to have a family too?

He looked at Nalilian and remembered what she said before she fell asleep.

She says he will let him have family.

She didn't lie to him.

His throat felt tight, and tears fell from his eyes as he looked at Nalilian.

Dumbledore looked at the child with heartache.

Did hearing about his family get him this excited?

When he thought so, he heard him say, "Actually, I already have a family."

Dumbledore was startled when he saw Harry looking at Narilean with tears in his eyes.

He began, "You are my family."

Hogwarts is his home, where there is the gentle Headmaster Dumbledore, the strict Professor McGonagall, Hermione and Ron, and her.

They are all his family.

How could he have thought that her care for him was out of sympathy?

He really went too far.

Nalilian never treated him as someone to be pitied, she just kept thinking of ways to protect him.

He just thought so because he envied her family and envied her for having a complete family.

What a bastard he is!

"I'm sorry, Nalilian..."

Harry grabbed Narilian's hand, dug out the inferiority that he had buried in his heart, examined his former self, and tears dripped from his chin to the ground.

Dumbledore looked at the two young wizards. He had no idea what was going on between them.

But if you push someone away because of a momentary thought, you will definitely regret it.

Fortunately, Harry seemed to understand.

What he needs to do is give him a quiet space.

So, when Snape returned to the headmaster's office with the truth serum from his office, what he saw was Dumbledore looking at Hari pulling the Gryffindor girl's hand with a look of relief and tears in his eyes.

Snape: "..."

Is this crazy?

"Sev," Dumbledore said, noticing his arrival.

When Harry heard the cry, he immediately stopped crying and wiped his face roughly.

Snape didn't even look at him, but took out a small bottle. "Veritaserum."

Dumbledore nodded and cast a binding spell on Peter Pettigrew, tying the Death Eater to the chair.

Snape then cast a Lucidity Charm on him.

Dumbledore frowned slightly, then looked at Harry and said gently, "Harry, you have the right to know the truth, but you also have the choice not to face it."

"I want to know the truth," Harry said firmly, looking at Pettigrew who was tied to a stool.

He didn't want to escape.

"here it is?"

Under Snape's awakening spell, Peter Pettigrew woke up quickly. He was shocked when he saw the familiar headmaster's office.

He was exposed.

"Peter," Dumbledore said, looking at him with his usual penetrating gaze, "Why are you hiding with Weasley?"

You know, they all thought he was sacrificed.

"Principal Dumbledore! I'm worried that Voldemort will kill me!"

Peter Pettigrew screamed, and when he saw Snape who had caught him, he put the blame on him without hesitation.

"Snape, he framed me, didn't he? But he's a Death Eater! I didn't dare show up because he was always in Hogwarts!"

Snape just sneered at him.

Using the fact that he's a Death Eater as an excuse, couldn't his sphinx-covered head come up with a better reason?

And didn’t his eyes, which were as useless as being blind, see the truth serum on the table?

How dare you lie.

"That's not a reason for you not to come to me, Peter," Dumbledore immediately pointed out the loophole in Peter Pettigrew's words.

He was sacrificed as a hero in capturing Sirius Black, and no one would not be happy that he survived.

"I am afraid!"

Peter Pettigrew said immediately, sticking to this reason without changing his expression.

He knew that lying had to be consistent, otherwise he would never gain the other person's trust.

And this mentality is consistent with his image.

Dumbledore shook his head. This man had lost his credibility with him.

He wouldn't trust someone who could remain anonymous to Weasley for over a decade.

Because such a person must know him very well, know that he trusts Weasley, and will not go to check on the situation in Weasley's home.

"Use Veritaserum, Sev," Dumbledore nodded to Snape.

Snape picked up the Veritaserum.

"You can't do this to me!" Peter screamed angrily when he saw the truth serum. "I'm a hero!"

"You are torturing me!"

Without saying a word, Snape picked up a wand and cast the Open Mouth Hex on the liar.

"Ahhhh——!"

Peter Pettigrew was forced to open his mouth and watch Snape open the bottle of truth serum and pour it into his mouth.

Is he crazy!

Just three drops are all you need!

Using too much truth serum will leave sequelae!

"Now for the real thing, Peter."

After Snape finished feeding Peter the truth serum, Dumbledore looked at Peter Pettigrew, whose face had turned pale, and said.

Harry, who had been watching them quietly, also looked at Peter Pettigrew and clenched his fists.

He also has to face the real murderer who killed his parents.
