"I managed to become Percy's pet. After all, the Weasley family is so poor they could only ever afford to keep a rat. It was the only way I could stay connected to the magical world. He needed to know all the news from the wizarding world, and the Weasleys could meet all my needs. No one would ever suspect my identity! How on earth did you find out who I am? It's impossible, I couldn't have exposed myself!" Peter Pettigrew screamed in a nervous breakdown.
"That is no longer something you need to concern yourself with, Mr. Pettigrew. You will spend the rest of your life in Azkaban," Dumbledore said with disgust.
Snape looked like he wanted to say something, but held it back in the end. In Snape's view, they should have hit this rat with a few Sectumsempra curses, the Cruciatus Curse, and finished it off with the Killing Curse for good measure.
