Chapter 479: Well Said! Who Will Sacrifice Themselves?

Peter, who had pledged his loyalty, failed to gain the trust of the Death Eaters.

However, these Death Eaters were also very clear that the only one with a hope of escaping was Peter!

"We will help you!" The mad woman glared at Peter. "Once the Aurors relax their guard, we will create some chaos to help you escape. Once you're out, the Dark Mark on your body will guide you."

Seeing Peter nod, she turned to look outside the cell and asked again.

"Who is willing to sacrifice themselves?!"

The depths of Azkaban fell silent. To help Peter escape successfully, a significant disturbance was necessary.

And the Aurors, who were likely on high alert, would probably vent their anger on anyone who caused trouble, leading to a high chance of execution!

However, the silence lasted only a few seconds before someone burst into laughter.

"I'll do it. I'm going to go mad if I stay here any longer."

"Hehe, count me in. Let's cause a ruckus."

More and more people spoke up. Those imprisoned in the depths of Azkaban were all loyal Death Eaters who were willing to die for Voldemort.

"Enough! If we all die, what will happen in the future? We only need three people for this operation! We also need to plan it carefully!" the mad woman scolded them.

The Death Eaters gradually calmed down and began to discuss among themselves, while Peter continued to tremble in the corner.

Meanwhile, in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts,

a burst of flame rose, and Dumbledore emerged from it.

"Professor Dumbledore, how did it go?" Ivan stepped forward eagerly and asked.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the others looked at Dumbledore with hopeful eyes.

"It seems I arrived a bit late. As the prophecy said, Peter Pettigrew escaped, saved by his mother!" Dumbledore shook his head and briefly recounted the events.

When they learned that Peter's mother, Mrs. Pettigrew, had died in Azkaban, using her life to facilitate Peter's escape, Harry and the others fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Ivan, however, had a thought and spoke up. "Professor, since Peter escaped not long ago, can't we use that thing?"

Ivan was reluctant to let his efforts go to waste, so he thought about the Time-Turner.

If they used it to go back a few hours, they could wait at the execution site for Peter. How could he possibly escape then?

Dumbledore looked at Ivan in surprise. He understood what Ivan meant and replied, "Hals, you should know that history cannot be changed! When I arrived at the execution site, Peter was already gone."

"That's true, but there are other ways, right? For example, we could choose to catch him after the fact!" Ivan furrowed his brow but quickly found a solution.

Since Peter's escape was a historical fact that couldn't be changed, they could use the Time-Turner to track his movements and then capture him again.

Ivan didn't believe Dumbledore hadn't thought of this.

"Your suggestion is good", Dumbledore nodded in agreement. But before Ivan could celebrate, he continued, "Unfortunately, I have already returned that device to the Ministry of Magic."

Ivan frowned in disappointment. How could things be so coincidental?

"Ivan, Professor Dumbledore, what are you two talking about?" Harry looked at them in confusion, unable to hold back his question.

Ron was in the same boat, completely unable to understand what Ivan and Dumbledore were discussing.

Only Hermione understood and guessed some of it, realizing it must have something to do with the Time-Turner.

"We were just discussing a way to find Peter Pettigrew", Dumbledore didn't elaborate much, simply shifting the topic.

"In any case, I will continue to keep an eye on Peter Pettigrew. If the Ministry of Magic finds him, I will notify you immediately."

After learning some details, the four of them, who had come excitedly to report, left in disappointment. However, they had already anticipated this outcome before coming. They just wanted to confirm the truth with Dumbledore.

Before leaving, Ivan glanced casually at the corner to the right of the headmaster's office, then turned and left with Harry and the others.

Once the sound of the guardian beast slowly descending outside faded away, Snape, who had been hiding in the shadows, dispelled the Disillusionment Charm on himself. He placed a bottle of golden potion on the table and turned to look at the door, saying coldly,

"He must have noticed me!"

"Yes, the boy has always been perceptive and intelligent", Dumbledore praised, picking up the potion and drinking it.

However, the unfriendly taste of the potion made Dumbledore frown. He complained, "Severus, I think you might need to improve this potion. Perhaps add a bit of sugar next time?"

"Only if you don't mind dying suddenly", Snape's anger flared as he saw Dumbledore still in the mood to joke. He continued coldly,

"Now that Peter Pettigrew has escaped, he will have no choice but to seek out the Dark Lord. With his help, the Dark Lord will quickly grow powerful. You should have used the Time-Turner to capture Peter Pettigrew, as Hals suggested!

That thing is still in your possession, right? I remember the Ministry of Magic only requires the return of magical items at the end of the school year for those who applied for them last year."

Snape spoke urgently, unable to understand why Dumbledore would let Peter Pettigrew escape when there was a way to prevent it.

"But I don't have much time left, Severus!"

Dumbledore interrupted Snape, his tone calm, showing little emotion. After a brief pause, he continued,

"According to the prophecy, Voldemort will ultimately return. Whether it's Peter or someone else, it doesn't matter. The question is how he will return, and sooner is better than later!"

"You only have a year left! Do you expect to completely defeat the Dark Lord in that time?" Snape stared at Dumbledore in shock, guessing his thoughts and finding it hard to believe.

Then Snape suddenly realized, speaking slowly and deliberately,

"Or have you already found a way to defeat him?"
