Everything Was Designed by Me Back Then!

Theoretically speaking.

Peter Pettigrew had been dead for seven or eight years.

No matter what, there was no way he could appear at Hogwarts at this time.

However, Snape did not think it was someone else impersonating Peter Pettigrew, directly concluding that Peter Pettigrew had survived back then.

And...

Who had nothing better to do than turn into Peter Pettigrew!

Now this Peter Pettigrew came to the school to steal a magical item left behind from the time of James Potter, and even knew the spell for this item...

Other than Peter himself, who else could it be?

But how on earth had this fellow survived!

Even though Snape was extremely shocked inside, he had to put on an unruffled front on the outside; he certainly did not want to lose his composure in front of Peter!

"Sirius..."

Hearing Snape bring up Sirius, a trace of nostalgia appeared on Peter Pettigrew's face. "He was one of my best friends in school, and I've never been able to figure out why he chased me to the death..."

As if infatuated with this question, Peter Pettigrew muttered to himself while shaking his head in self-questioning and self-answering, "Could it just be because I quietly leaked the address of the Potter family safe house to Voldemort—such a trivial matter?"

"...What did you say!"

Severus Snape's expression changed abruptly!

Even Snape had not expected to get a completely unimaginable answer from Peter Pettigrew's mouth—an answer that infuriated even him!

Because the leaking of the Potter family safe house back then directly resulted in James Potter and Lily Potter being killed by Voldemort, leaving only the orphan Harry Potter alive.

This matter all along...

Everyone believed that Sirius Black had betrayed the Potter family.

Severus Snape truly had not expected that he would hear another answer from Peter Pettigrew's mouth!

And what was this bastard Peter saying...

He actually treated the act of causing Lily's death back then as a trivial matter?

Severus Snape's eyes were filled with shock and fury. He took a step forward, intending to grab Peter by the collar, and under his raging anger, he could no longer maintain his composure!

"You were the one who leaked the safe house to Voldemort back then?"

"Show a little manners, you're a Slytherin after all..."

Peter Pettigrew suddenly chuckled, violently twisting Snape's hand and forcefully pushing him back, sending Snape crashing heavily to the ground!

"Let me think..."

Peter Pettigrew slowly paced over to Snape, bent down to look at Snape lying on the ground, and spoke slowly, "Where should this story begin... Shall we start from when we were in school?"

"..."

Snape glared at him with hostile eyes.

Just as Snape quietly wanted to raise his wand, Peter Pettigrew suddenly began to say, "Severus, do you know? James Potter and Sirius never looked at family background when making friends, because no one's background was as illustrious as theirs..."

"..."

Severus Snape fell silent.

Because this was indeed a question he had no way to refute; whether it was James Potter or Sirius Black, their families were among the most illustrious in the wizarding world...

Even Snape had to admit this.

Peter Pettigrew glanced at Snape and leisurely continued, "An illustrious family allows people to freely choose their lives, but unfortunately, this didn't change their common failing of arrogance. They always looked down on me, treating me as a mere lackey..."

Speaking of this, Peter Pettigrew suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Even when we fought against Voldemort after graduation, they thought a piece of trash like me wouldn't attract Voldemort's attention, so they made a decision that would make them regret it for the rest of their lives..."

"..."

Severus Snape raised his head as if sensing something.

At this moment, within his field of vision, Peter Pettigrew's face had become ferocious, showing not a trace of that coward anymore!

"They changed the Keeper of the Potter family safe house to me."

Peter Pettigrew grinned coldly as he looked at Snape, his eyes brimming with irrepressible fury. "At the very beginning, Sirius Black was the Secret Keeper of the safe house, but the arrogant Black thought he would be targeted by Voldemort..."

"Therefore..."

"He found me—a piece of trash Voldemort wouldn't notice!"

"And then..."

"He had the Potters swap me in as the Secret Keeper of the safe house!"

As Peter Pettigrew spoke, his face was filled with viciousness and malice, and at this moment, that ugly face looked exceptionally grim and terrifying in the night!

This face caused Severus Snape to feel a creeping sense of horror; he already knew what the Peter Pettigrew before him was going to do next!

No wonder Sirius Black had been hunting Peter Pettigrew all this time!

"So..."

Severus Snape's lips trembled slightly, and he seemed to recall that night which was like a nightmare. "You told Voldemort the location of the safe house..."

"Hhe-he-he-he, it's truly laughably naive..."

Peter Pettigrew could not help but reveal a sneer once again.

He slowly squatted down beside Snape and said with a light chuckle, "Snape, do you think you've figured it out? Do you think I did it just to take revenge on them?"

Peter Pettigrew slowly shook his head and suddenly smiled darkly, "If it were just to take revenge on them, wouldn't that let Voldemort off too easily? You're wrong, Snape; I'm not like you, who only knows how to live purely for others..."

Peter Pettigrew abruptly extended his palm and fiercely clenched it into a fist. "The only person in this world you can trust is yourself—only myself!"

"You..."

Snape felt as though his brain was about to explode.

Peter Pettigrew slowly stood up and said with a chuckle, "Hhe-he-he-he... Besides, who ever said that in this world, the only one who could become the Dark Lord is Voldemort?"

"You..."

Snape looked at Peter Pettigrew in disbelief.

"Slytherin fools are truly naive..."

After letting out a sneer, Peter Pettigrew shook his head and spoke of his scheme, "Because I discovered at the time that Lily had learned a powerful spell!

And this spell was enough to turn into a trap targeting Voldemort—a trap that could cause Voldemort to die on the spot. What an interesting and great masterpiece, hhe-he-he-he..."

"So you deliberately told Voldemort about the safe house..."

Severus Snape felt his hands and feet turn cold. He had never imagined that a coward could harbor such a scheme, playing everyone in the palm of his hand!

This fellow...

His scheming was actually this terrifying!

Even Severus Snape, who considered himself mentally acute, could not help but feel his heart palpitate with fear at Peter Pettigrew's plot, because Snape knew how terrifying Voldemort was...

Faced with such a terrifying opponent, Peter Pettigrew actually dared to plot against him!

This fellow was the most terrifying mastermind behind the entire Wizarding World!

Even Dumbledore could never have imagined it!

"Just as I expected, Voldemort walked right through the door and stepped into the trap."

When Peter Pettigrew spoke of the success of his plan, his emotions gradually calmed down, and his expression gradually grew cold. "Fools are beyond saving, and not even a Potters Master can change the inherent foolish arrogance of a Slytherin."

At this moment.

Peter Pettigrew seemed to have everything firmly in his grasp.

At this moment.

Peter Pettigrew was a truly terrifying mastermind behind the scenes.
