Chapter 236 (1/2)
……
Peter needs someone to help him get rid of the noise.
Soon, he found the target, the same Gryffindor personnel, Sirius Black, lupin and James Porter are the strongest and the best of the boys.
The small group of the three of them is always so eye-catching. It seems that all the excellent qualities of Gryffindor can be reflected in these three people. They are brave, meaningless and powerful. They do not seem to lack anything.
For a time, this made Peter Pettigrew very upset. He was not sure whether he could enter the group which looked better.
Maybe they need a valet.
Peter Pettigrew thinks so, and he uses his own actions to implement his ideas.
Fortunately, they gladly accepted this cowardly kid.
For a time, Peter Pettigrew became ecstatic. He successfully joined Sirius Black's small group. The excellence and honor of the group seemed to beckon to him.
Even though he was as timid and cowardly as ever, he had at least some positive presence at Hogwarts, rather than looking for his name among the most failed people.
Every time someone talks about them, they will habitually take him with him. Although he only mentions the four people, it also makes him very excited. It seems that he has become excellent, and his mother is also proud of him, which makes his life at home easier.
Although his status is still low, but this also makes others become very envious, for these, he can endure everything silently.
Yes, he can't be counted as a friend of these three people. At most, he can only be regarded as a valet or a valet.
He is still so timid, cowardly, and humble, but all these are perfectly covered by the light of three people, even if he is not unbearable, it is all their four things.
Yes, there are four people. They are a group. Even if he will never come to the stage, he will always be remembered with the three people.
Even if Porter only takes him as a target to show off after the Quidditch game, sarcasm and ridicule are normal things. Sirius is lazy to pay attention to him. Peter's existence just reflects the qualities of Sirius. He is brave and fearless. He and Sirius are always two extremes, and lupin, the damned werewolf, is a lowly identity It didn't stop Lupin's eyes. Even the damned werewolf looked down on him.
However, this does not hinder Peter's belief in self deception.
The Ancient College of Gryffindor did not bring courage and determination to the dwarf star Peter, but it did not prevent Peter from obtaining these honors by other means, even if it was given by others, even if it was only a little bit, which made Peter feel satisfied.
Peter knows exactly who he is. He is just a valet. He knows what he should do.
He was timid, incompetent and unknown. His figure is always hidden behind the three, and he just needs to stand up and bow to the audience at the final curtain call.
It was disgusting, but it was enough, even a small honor, to make his mother less disappointed.
However, the good scene is not long-term, just like the story in the novel, after the dull, there will always be a storm, or the storm is bred by the plain.
The ancient school adheres to the teaching philosophy of tolerance, and this castle, with its rich knowledge and body, has bred the best and most terrifying students in history.
Here comes the man, the man named Voldemort.
Britain's magic world has fallen into an unprecedented dark period, with Death Eaters wantonly attacking all the witches who resist them and against that man.
In their eyes, Muggle is the most humble creature, they wantonly kill, regardless of the constraints of human nature and law.
They conquered the Ministry of magic, even dare not resist, no one wants to take the initiative to die, except this old castle.
The castle breeds disaster, but also has a new life.
Dumbledore stood up, just as he was against Greenwood at that time. He had defeated the last Dark Lord, and it was natural that he should shoulder the responsibility.
Dumbledore formed the order of the Phoenix, and they actively fought against Voldemort's death eaters.
At that time, the three partners wanted to participate in the establishment of the order of the Phoenix. They had graduated and they had such strength.
However, Peter doesn't think so. He doesn't think that Dumbledore can succeed. Dumbledore is old, and Voldemort can rule the British magic world so quickly, then he must have the support of many nobles, which are inseparable.
He was afraid of death eaters, he was afraid of the power of the Dark Lord. He did not want to let himself go to his father's old way. A brave Gryffindor, shouting slogans for all sorcerers, rushed to him beyond his capacity, and waiting for him was a cold curse.This is what Peter can't accept. Death is a terrible thing for him. Even if he lives in pain now, he can at least see the sun.
However, the three men did not seem to let him go. He sent him an invitation to join the order of the Phoenix. He did not have the courage to refuse his companions. Neville at least knew how to resist his friends. Unfortunately, Peter was not Neville.
He couldn't resist, he couldn't even learn to refuse. Long time obedience made him have no right to make a decision. Moreover, he was very clear that his mother would like to join the order of the Phoenix to participate in the fight against Voldemort.
For his mother's expectations, dwarf Peter can't refuse, just like a burden that can't be unloaded. According to the Convention, he will certainly let his mother do what he wants.
Of course, he and his companions joined the order of the Phoenix.
Peter still remembers the day he joined the order of the Phoenix, a fool named Marlene McKinnon, who died under the spell of Death Eaters two weeks after all the members of the order took pictures.
And then there's the man named karadok Dearborn, who disappeared six months after the photo was taken. I don't know whether he's hiding or how. But Peter feels that his fate is like McKinnon. He falls under the spell of death eaters and seems to be the only destination for members of the order of the Phoenix.
Peter will never forget the lombardons, who were completely driven mad by the heart piercing curse of Bellatrix Lestrange, rodolfs and Rabastan Lestrange and Barty crouch, Jr.
Members of the order of the Phoenix have been involved in accidents, either dead or missing. The lombartons seem to be better off, but lying in St. Mungo's hospital is no better than dying.
Peter Pettigrew's fear of Voldemort gradually deepened over time.
However, his partners did not think like him. They took every incident of the order of the Phoenix as a responsibility and an incentive, which made Sirius's anti Voldemort more and more intense. They smashed Voldemort's plot again and again. They were excited for this, and nothing was better than this.
But Peter didn't think so.
He saw the situation of the order of the Phoenix completely. Compared with the death eaters, a group of wizards who can only and only use white magic to defeat the death eaters who attack wantonly with black magic is undoubtedly hard. Moreover, the number of them is not directly proportional to the number of Death Eaters.
Voldemort's back contains basically all the aristocracy, they have more magic resources.
If Dumbledore had not been able to pose some real threat to Voldemort, the order of the Phoenix would have been destroyed when it was first exposed to Voldemort's vision.
However, the situation at that time was not much better. Dumbledore's existence only slightly delayed the extinction of the order of the Phoenix.
Peter doesn't want to die. He just needs a little honor to get rid of his shackles, but that doesn't mean he's willing to die with a lunatic like Sirius Black.
However, things are not as he would like, active Sirius and others successfully attracted the attention of the Dark Lord.
