| May 29, 2019 at 1:45 | comment | added | Morgen | @JanusBahsJacquet knock him out with a stunner, cast a couple of shields and then use a cutting curse to end him, and the wand history will support their story rather than undermine it: a miss, a quick duel, and an unfortunately lethal cutter which was intended to disable his arm but ended up knicking his neck instead when he ducked unexpectedly. | |

| May 28, 2019 at 16:43 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | It’s been quite a while since I read the books, but does Pettigrew have a wand at this point? Doesn’t he only get one later, after rejoining Voldemort? They could always claim that Pettigrew somehow managed to steal one of their wands and then killed himself with it, but that would be a hard sell. | |
| May 28, 2019 at 16:39 | comment | added | user112267 | @JanusBahsJacquet They could have used Pettigrew's wand to kill him. Also very trivial. So we know that there are many ways that they could have done so! | |
| May 28, 2019 at 16:30 | comment | added | Janus Bahs Jacquet | It would be fairly trivial, using Priori Incantatem, to show whether Lupin and Sirius’ wands were responsible for the spell(s) that would have caused Pettigrew’s death. The chances of success seem slim to none. | |
| May 28, 2019 at 16:11 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor♦ | "Perhaps the all-consuming guilt forced Peter to put a wand to his head and say Avada Kedavra!" Related. (I immediately wondered if that would be possible and was going to post a question about it, but of course it was a dupe.) | |

| May 27, 2019 at 23:26 | comment | added | Laurel | "...without Pettigrew, alive or dead, we have no chance of overturning Sirius's sentence." This line makes it clear that it wasn't their goal to get rid of the body and pretend it didn't happen. | |
| May 27, 2019 at 22:58 | comment | added | user112267 | @Alex "The risk would’ve been what made it fun..." | |
| May 27, 2019 at 22:57 | comment | added | Alex | I guess that's possible. Still seems risky though. | |
| May 27, 2019 at 22:54 | comment | added | user112267 | @Alex Simple memory charm should deal with Snape! Also, they could lie about how Peter died. Maybe the overwhelming guilt caused him to kill himself. Why would the three not keep quiet? | |
| May 27, 2019 at 22:53 | comment | added | Alex | They need to produce the body in order to clear Sirius. Plus at that point Snape knew that Lupin was colluding with Sirius. And they would have to rely on Harry, Hermione, and Ron to keep quiet. | |
