Peter's P.O.V
James was the leader of us. He had unofficially made himself the leader and no one argued with it because it somehow made sense for him to be the leader.
He was confident at times arrogant, but he never saw it. Because James never saw what he didn't want to see.
Maybe if he had then maybe he would have seen that I was weak and would cave in without very little pressure as to where he, Lily and Harry was.
But he didn't see it and now he is dead, Lily is dead and Harry survived.
I wish James had lived instead.
Sirius was second in command and the most dangerous. He had the unfortunate luck of being born into the Black family and even more unfortunate to inherit the Black family madness.
Although no one would dare mention it to him, but the person he was most like out of his family was Bellatrix.
He never knew when to stop, when a prank wasn't a prank anymore. He never really cared who he hurt.
I knew what he would do the moment he figured out I'd betrayed James and it was what I was counting on to ensure I didn't go to Azkaban.
I feel guilty about I really do, but I have always been cowardly and Sirius knew that. He teased me about often enough.
Now Remus he was smarter and quiet one. He tried to stop James and Sirius when they went too far, I never told Remus, but I liked him more than the others.
I took away the only friends he had, sent one to prison and the other to death. Made him believe I was dead and Sirius was the traitor that killed me.
When the moon is full I often wonder how he copes without us, his pack.
I took all three of us away from him in a short amount time.
Now me, I was the friend that they felt sorry for, that's why they let me hang around with them.
I have always been a coward since I was a small child and took that pity an allowed myself to be protected by them.
Then they couldn't protect me anymore and I sold them out to someone who could.
Now I wait as a pet rat to the Weasleys waiting until the Dark Lord returns because I have no one else left to turn to.
It's my fault I know.
