"Rub my feet."

The command came as a surprise, and he was careful to keep his face and his mind blank.

His companions waited with bated breath for his compliance to the order.

He brought out a vial of oil and took his time uncorking it.

He watched as oil dripped onto his potion-stained hands and began smoking horribly.

His face expressionless, he thrust the oil to Wormtail.

"My apologies, Master. I fear that my hands will cause you…discomfort."

"Crucio!"

He was comforted by the fact that the sorry task of massaging Voldemort's mouldy feet was passed on to Pettigrew.
