Shades of Blue
Peter Pettigrew had always been a quiet boy, a follower.
At seven ticks to eight o'clock
He rumbles down the stairs
Mother's cooking in the kitchen
Father's in his chair
The headline on the front page says
The suns coming out today
Shining down on perfect streets
Anywhere USA
Yes, he had always been somewhat of an outsider. Even when he was around his friends he had always felt alone. The summer before his seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry he was vacationing in America.
With eyes wide open
The sky is always
A thousand shades of blue
Partly broken, lost and lonely
We're all just shades of you
He would not let himself feel like that anymore; it was no way to be going into the real world, where the threat of the Dark Lord was becoming stronger and stronger.
Hear the school bells ringing
Hurry don't be late
Wandering the crowded hallways
Searching for his place
Peter was now back at Hogwarts, the place he had always thought to be safe. But now things were getting complicated, and Lucius Malfoy, a known Death Eater at the school, had made an offer that Peter –however badly he wanted to- could not refuse.
The writing on the chalkboard reads
WHO WILL BE KING THIS YEAR?
And even though he raised his hand
No one knows he's there
No one did know that he was there really. At least if he accepted Malfoy's offer, he would know that he would be needed. But if he said yes, he could lose his friends who had been there, with him, since the beginning…
But were they really his friends?
With arms wide open
His life's becoming
A thousand shades of blue
Partly broken, lost and lonely
We're all just shades of you
There's no escaping where he's going
A thousand shades of blue
With a shaking hand Peter turned the shining door knob that had seemed to appear from no where. Peter took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves.
Partly hopeless
Don't you notice
"Pettigrew. How nice of you to join us," Lucius' leering voice rang as Peter stepped inside, and without a backward glance, closed the door.
We're all just shades of you
Peter wasn't sure if he could do this. For the first time in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven years, he had lied to the Marauders.
We're all just shades of you
Then again, it had been easier than he had expected…
A thousand shades of blue
"Hello Wormtail," Bellatrix Black's snide voice came from a darkened corner of the Room of Requirements. "You are in for a treat tonight,"
We're all just shades of you
"Master has agreed to meet with us. Tonight, you will become one of us. Trust me, you will not regret it."
A thousand shades of blue
Peter Pettigrew came back to the Gryffindor common room that morning with a sense of pride, honor, and guilt; along with a searing left forearm.
He let the water run too deep
And he just slowly slipped on on
And when he finally finds the nerve to breathe
All they say is no one saw it coming
On the night of October 30, 1981, Peter Pettigrew was on his knees, his face at Lord Voldemort's feet.
"My Lord," he gasped, not looking up. "My Lord, they have made me their Secret Keeper, not Black. The plan has worked. I know where the Potters hide."
"Very well, thank you Wormtail, you have been of much help. We shall attack tomorrow." The one sitting on the throne said, his scarlet eyes blazing.
Hear the sirens
The cops arriving
A thousand shades of blue
But it's hopeless
No one noticed
We're all just shades of you
With eyes wide open
They found him floating
A thousand shades of blue
There's no escaping
We're he's going
We're all just shades of you
We're all just shades of you
Halloween Night, 1981
10:41 PM
Aurors arrive at number eleven Godric's Hollow to find the house in ruins. James Potter's body is found in what seems to have been a living room. Up the swaying stairs, Mrs. Lily Potter's body is found as well, somewhere near what could have been a baby's crib. Buried under the collapsed ceiling, is a crying child. Jet black hair, emerald green eyes, and a glowing red scar, oddly shaped like a lightning bolt.
Harry Potter
A thousand shades of blue
"YOU KILLED THEM!" roars a raging Sirius Black, down the street from the crime scene.
"What? I-I" Peter stutters ashamed of what he has caused. Ashamed that he has just killed two of the only truly good people of the world.
"JAMES AND LILY! THEY WERE YOUR FRIENDS! AND YOU BETRAYED THEM! THEY WERE YOUR FRIENDS! YOU FILTHY PIECE OF SHIT!"
"Sirius, I- I really d-"
"SHUT UP YOU F-"
But before Sirius can say anything more, Peter raises his wand and lets out one single curse.
We're all just shades of you
With that one single curse, Peter Pettigrew massacres thirteen people, cutting off his own finger in the process. He transforms into the animal he really is, a rat, leaving one of his former best friends behind him. Leaving all signs the weak boy he used to be behind him.
And he runs until everything is just gone, gone, gone.
A thousand shades of blue
We're all just shades of you
A thousand shades of blue
