A Willing Sacrifice RainPelt 10/9/08
To The Dark Lord,
I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the true Horcrux and hope to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more.
P.S Marauders: I want you to know that I am terribly sorry that I made the wrong choice. I should have died for you guys… I know that you will never forgive me for my betrayal years ago. I hope that removing the real horcrux will aid you in your final goal of freeing the world from the threat that is Voldemort.
P.A.P
I was trembling in grief. Dumbledore had died the day before by the hand of Severus Snape. I had forgotten about the locket and when I read the letter, I realized that the locket was fake I was overridden with grief. Dumbledore had died for nothing. Tears leaked out of my eyes. The door creaked open and I looked up blearily to see the form of Remus and Sirius come through the door. They walked over swiftly when they saw the still-wet tear tracks on my face. I didn't cry often, the last time I remember crying was before coming to Hogwarts. Sirius sat in front of me, loosely hugging me with one arm and running his fingers through my hair, and Remus sat beside me rubbing calming circles on my back also hugging me. " What's wrong, cub?" Remus murmured.
"It was a fake" I whispered, "He died for it and it was a fake."
"What was a fake?" Sirius asked.
"The locket" I whispered again hoarsely
"There's a note in here, cub." Remus exclaimed surprised. The room went silent as Remus read the note. When he dropped the note from between his lax fingers.
"What does it say Moony?" Sirius asked, interested in what had shocked Remus so much. Sirius read it too and he said, "He sacrificed himself for us. He's right. We can't forgive him for betraying James and Lily but the important thing is that he turned himself away from Voldemort in the end for our cause. His initials are Peter Andrew Pettigrew, I would recognize that writing anywhere."
Up in heaven, Peter was watching down on them, all was well in with his life now. He could rest in peace, James and Lily had finally understood that he was truly sorry and that he had repaid his misdeeds by making a willing sacrifice.
