Harry was also a bit unhappy to hear this. He had always thought his father was great, but Lan Luo's words felt like a slap in the face.
Mr. Weasley didn't care about that; he just asked, "But Peter Pettigrew isn't dead, is he? And isn't Black the murderer of Harry's parents?"
Lan Luo looked at him, smiled, and said, "You can ask Dumbledore if what I'm saying is true. Also, Peter Pettigrew only left a severed finger; when did he die? All the news came from the Ministry of Magic, and of course, Black deserved it."
"James was known for his arrogance in his youth, self-assured of his excellent magical skills and fond of showing off. Even in school, he underestimated potential threats like Snape.
Although he matured with age, especially after marrying Lily, his sense of responsibility and mental state reached new heights, but he still underestimated Voldemort's capabilities." Lan Luo was merely stating facts.
But Harry, standing nearby, couldn't take it anymore and roared, "Enough, Lan Luo, what's your purpose in telling me all this?"
Lan Luo looked at Mr. Weasley and said, "I'm here to catch Peter Pettigrew." His voice wasn't concealed; it was even a bit louder.
Both of them were startled by his words and simultaneously pulled out their wands. At this moment, Scabbers, in Ron's hand, broke free and ran directly outside.
Harry and Mr. Weasley saw this and knew Lan Luo was telling the truth. As they were about to act, Lan Luo transformed into a bolt of lightning, appearing directly in front of Scabbers, and aimed a discharge spell at the rat on the ground, instantly stunning Peter Pettigrew.
Lan Luo took out the birdcage he had brought earlier and, using a Levitation Charm, directly enclosed the unconscious rat within the cage.
Everyone, having now reacted, was shocked by Lan Luo's methods. Ron had the biggest reaction; he rushed forward and said to Lan Luo, "Why did you do that to Scabbers?"
Before Lan Luo could speak, Mr. Weasley loudly interrupted, "Ron, enough! Lan Luo did nothing wrong." He didn't want his family to lose any more face. They were Dumbledore's supporters and had protected the murderer of Harry's parents for over a decade. If this came out in public, their family would become the laughingstock of the Wizarding World.
Imagine this ridiculous rumor: 'That Weasley, close to Harry Potter, protected the murderer of his parents for over a decade.' Just thinking about it is terrifying.
Ron was startled by his father's roar; he had never seen his father so furious.
Lan Luo said to Harry and Mr. Weasley, "I'm going to see Dumbledore. Do you want to come along?"
Harry, also wanting an answer, replied without hesitation, "Of course, I also want to go see Dumbledore."
Even without Lan Luo, he would have sought out Dumbledore for an answer.
Mr. Weasley, on the other hand, was a bit hesitant. He wasn't too keen on seeing Dumbledore. Although what was said hadn't been confirmed, he had a strong feeling it was all true.
Hermione, holding her cat, now stood to Lan Luo's right and quietly asked Lan Luo, "Is what you just said true? Peter Pettigrew is still alive?"
There was a hint of schadenfreude in her expression; she hadn't forgotten what Ron had said to her earlier, and besides, this rat was the murderer of Harry's parents.
Lan Luo, sensing her schadenfreude, rolled her eyes at her: "Alright then, let's go."
After speaking, Lan Luo opened a rune wormhole directly in front of Harry, leading straight outside the Headmaster's office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts.
Harry walked in without hesitation, followed by Lan Luo. Hermione also followed in small steps. Although Mr. Weasley was somewhat reluctant, if he wasn't there, he didn't know what would happen later, so he also followed. Ron also wanted to follow, but he was stopped by his mother, Mrs. Weasley, since Mr. Weasley had already gone in.
"Leave it to your father, Ron, everything will be fine," Mrs. Weasley comforted Ron, while also feeling a bit worried.
George quietly said to Fred, "I never thought we had a Death Eater hidden in our house. We'll have to be careful with pets from now on."
Fred replied, "Perhaps we should sterilize them to test if they're pets."
The two prank-loving brothers were each more sinister than the other.
Ginny then rolled her eyes at her two brothers: "Will I get to see Lan Luo again? It was so hard to meet him, and it ended so quickly."
At this moment, Mrs. Weasley put her arm around Ron and whispered, "You need to help Harry with his luggage and books. Don't forget that, Ron."
Ron, feeling a bit down, didn't want to talk and just nodded.
...
Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, Lan Luo entered the corridor and directly said, "Lemon drop."
The Headmaster's office door slowly opened. Lan Luo walked in front, holding the birdcage. Harry and Mr. Weasley exchanged glances and followed him in. Hermione also followed in small steps.
Dumbledore, sitting at his Headmaster's desk, was somewhat surprised by Lan Luo's arrival. The moment he saw Lan Luo, his eyes lit up. His wizard's robe was clearly deeply processed, unlike those made in Diagon Alley. It seemed to be a new technique; he could sense the shadow of an Invisibility Cloak within it, but it was a much more profound magic.
"I never thought, Lan Luo, you would bring Harry and Weasley here, and of course, the lovely Miss Granger. What brings you all together?" Dumbledore leaned back in his chair, speaking politely.
For Harry, his recent questions about the person who knew everything had reached their peak, so he immediately asked, "Headmaster Dumbledore, you know the cause of my parents' death, don't you? Was it because of the Fidelius Charm?"
Hearing this, Dumbledore's hand, which was reaching for a candy in his drawer, paused. He turned to Harry and said, "Harry, who told you this?"
Lan Luo then spoke, "It was I, Headmaster Dumbledore. I've had a small breakthrough in divination recently, so I've sorted out the past events."
After speaking, Lan Luo took out a divination orb from his ring and slowly used magic. The divination orb showed Dumbledore using the Fidelius Charm, from suggesting himself as the Secret-Keeper, then, after being advised, changing it from Sirius to Peter Pettigrew.
Then, Voldemort found Peter Pettigrew, and Peter Pettigrew succumbed almost immediately, betraying Harry's parents. Voldemort ambushed Harry's parents. Harry's mother, Lily Potter, cast a magic called 'the magic of love' for Harry before her death. This magic requires the caster to sacrifice their life to be effective and is mainly used to protect Harry from Voldemort's attacks.
