Sirius Black

(Pain of Betrayal)

He should have known.

It's my fault.

He had to change. He had to. It was just too obvious, didn't they see? But it couldn't be Remus. Remus could not be trusted. So they chose him. The rat.

How could he?

They had trusted him. They had considered him a friend. They had been kind to him. They had not realized that he was Wormtail, the Rat, then, now and forever.

The crater was large. Extremely large. There were voices, light, screaming, blood. He was awed. He had never thought that the Rat was this clever. Ever.

And he laughed. Laughed for the death of his friends. Laughed for the plight of his godson. Laughed for the betrayal. Mirthless. Almost cruel. Cold.

''An' you know what Black did then? Laughed, jus' stood there an' laughed.''
