Oh, I think Pettigrew gave up the information willingly too! I was just
replying to the post that asked if Legimency could simply allow Voldemort to
see fidelius secrets inside secret keepers' minds or not. And I'm saying
that regardless of how the Fidelius Charm works, I believe Legimency would
allow Voldemort to know there's a secret kept from him, but not to "mind
read" that secret.
