After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

Harry looked hesitantly at the man before him. He glanced at Lucius and Narcissa, who were encouraging him, then at Snape, who, though displeased, still acquiesced. Finally, he squeezed Draco's hand, trying to draw some strength.

As long as this person wasn't trying to take him away from his happiness, he was willing to give them a chance to get to know him. He was also a little curious. This person was his father's friend, so he should know him well...

"...Okay." Harry said in a low voice with his eyes lowered.

Sirius was overjoyed. He calmed himself down, trying to calm his voice. "My name is Sirius Black, everyone calls me Sirius... Nice to meet you, Harry." He forced a smile, tears glistening in his eyes. Suddenly, he saw the hands reaching out to him from Hogwarts.

Nice to meet you, Prongs. Sorry.

"Hmph, if he bullies Harry again, I'll have Liam strike that bastard with lightning." Draco thought angrily.

For Harry's sake, he would reluctantly forgive this annoying guy, but he would always keep an eye on him and told him not to bully his family again.

"No, I was so busy yesterday that I didn't even finish reading the rest of the series. I want to see if it's true, as Dumbledore said, that Peter Pettigrew killed Harry's parents. I can't let Harry, his parents, and his godfather be fooled."

Everyone else present exchanged glances in tacit understanding. Lucius picked up Draco, Snape held Harry (Sirius's face was distorted but no one cared). The adults were distracted by Draco's thoughts and made hypocritical and incomprehensible greetings. It was obvious that no one was paying attention to what they were saying, but just chatting about what they were going to do in the future.

[Hmm, it's just like what Dumbledore said. Peter Pettigrew entered Hogwarts in the same year as Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin. Peter Pettigrew followed the strong. After leaving school, Peter Pettigrew surrendered to Voldemort and spent a year collecting information for Voldemort.

Then, after being chosen as Potter's Secret-Keeper, he revealed the Potter family's hiding place to Voldemort, but he had no idea that his powerful master could actually be defeated by a one-year-old baby.

In fact, Peter turned into a rat and crawled into the sewer. Because Voldemort was not around, Peter had been in a state of hiding. Voldemort's followers were looking for revenge on him because they knew that their master accepted Peter's advice to attack the Potter family.

While the good people of the wizarding world treat him as a dead hero, Peter is hiding around in the form of a mouse.

Somehow, he became Percy Weasley's pet rat, Scabbers. Peter lived in rat form for many years. He joined his owner, the Weasleys, on a trip to Egypt in August 1993.

A photo of the family and Scabbers was published in the Daily Prophet. Sirius Black, who was imprisoned in Azkaban, happened to borrow the newspaper from Cornelius Fudge, who was visiting, and immediately recognized the rat.

Recognizing his "old friend", he decided to escape from the wizarding prison and kill the traitor himself. The chase led Sirius, Peter Pettigrew, Remus Lupin, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Severus Snape to the Shrieking Shack.

Scabbers' true identity was revealed, and when Sirius wanted to execute him, Harry intervened to stop him, believing that Peter should be spared to clear Sirius's name, and sent him to Azkaban.

But then Lupin transformed into a werewolf, and Pettigrew escaped again during the chaos. Trelawney had predicted that day that one of the Dark Lord's servants would return to his side and aid his rise to power. Sure enough, Peter escaped that night. He transformed into a rat again and desperately searched for his old master, Voldemort. In his rat form, he traveled to Albania to find Voldemort.

Draco always felt that there should be more to come, but it was not updated. Draco felt a little unsatisfied. He always treated things in parallel universes as stories, unless they involved people close to him.

[There's nothing left? But the name Weasley sounds so familiar, where have I heard it before... Ah, the little boy I met in Diagon Alley! Ron!] Draco remembered the red-haired boy he and Harry met yesterday. His last name was Weasley.

[The other day, Ron mentioned that his brother had a pet mouse, and he was envious, always bringing it to sleep with him... Ah, that doesn't mean... Eh~]

After everyone digested the news, they all turned their attention to Dumbledore. After all, it was well known that the Weasley family was a backbone figure in the Order of the Phoenix, so it would be better for Dumbledore to handle this matter.

Draco was still racking his brains, thinking, "How should I tell Mom and Dad this news? Even though this annoying guy is annoying, Mom and Harry probably want to clear his name as soon as possible."

Everyone was thinking about how to quietly steer the conversation towards this point, capturing Peter Pettigrew reasonably and without raising suspicion. They all knew Trelawney's prophecy; even if they caught Pettigrew, he would escape. They couldn't arouse Voldemort's suspicion. Not until they had the upper hand.

Sirius Black's rusty brain worked at high speed for the first time. He was eager to catch the traitor. Just hearing his whereabouts made him unable to restrain the urge to rush out and find him.

Of course, he also remembered not to reveal what he could hear in front of Draco. Sissy and the others were worried that some uncontrollable changes would occur if it was exposed.

He truly cared deeply for this nephew who was his savior. It wasn't because of the ice pick in Xixi's hand pressed against his waist. Absolutely not! What was there to say? Rat, rat... Got it!

"Hey, Harry, can you allow me to come and see you after this period of time? When I catch that traitor, I swear I will avenge you and your parents." He said it casually. It was very good. Although his acting was very poor, his final gritting of teeth was very sincere.

He knew Harry should be able to hear Draco's thoughts, Cece told him. He believed Harry would be able to cooperate with him, even though Harry did not like his whining.

He didn't know where his confidence came from, but Harry definitely got what he meant. He pretended to be hesitant and asked, "Peter Pettigrew? Is he really still alive?"

"Of course! That gutter rat wouldn't die like that. He'd definitely become a rat and hide in some corner, living a miserable life, waiting, waiting for the moment when darkness would return!" Sirius felt a fire burning in his heart. Life in Azkaban had indeed left an indelible mark on him.

Draco had no idea this was all being staged for him, but he figured it was a good time. He feigned interest. "A rat? An Animagus? What does it look like?"

"It's just an ordinary mouse with brown fur. If you have to say what's different about it, it's that it's missing a toe. That's because he cut off one of his fingers, making others think he died in the explosion." Sirius said bitterly.

"A mouse with a toe missing? Sounds familiar." Draco pretended to think. Lucius couldn't help laughing. His little dragon was so adorable.

Snape couldn't help but chuckle, his fingers twitching in his loose black robes, eager to pinch Draco's baby fat. Narcissa and Dumbledore were the calmest, one with a gentle smile, the other looking at the group of unreliable adults around them, ready to be the one to offer a way out.

"Oh? Has Draco heard of it? Perhaps your clue will be the key." Dumbledore stroked his long gray beard, smiled and winked at Draco, perfectly portraying the look of someone who doesn't care about children's childish words.

Draco puffed up his cheeks in indignation. Dumbledore actually looked down upon a man, a boy, who was supposed to be the savior! He put his acting skills to the test, pretending to be suddenly enlightened.

"I remember now, Harry, do you remember? The little boy named Ron we met yesterday said that he had a mouse at home that he had raised for five years. It only ate human food and was missing a toe." Draco praised his acting skills, perfect!

Harry thought about it for a moment and said excitedly, "Yes, that's right! Ron did say that! Maybe that's Peter Pettigrew!"

To be honest, the acting skills of these three main actors are not that good, but it doesn’t matter, the others will not expose them and will just cooperate with the performance.

"This is indeed a crucial clue. I think I should go to the Weasleys' house with Sirius." Dumbledore also became serious (pretending). He was a little skeptical (also pretending), but he still thanked Draco sincerely.

"Thank you, Draco. If this is true, you are a hero for saving Sirius. I'm sure your parents would be proud of your intelligence as well."

It was a truly straightforward compliment, and Draco tried to control his expression. His expression mirrored that of the puffed-out white peacocks in the garden. For a moment, everyone imagined a proud little platinum peacock, constantly begging for praise.
