I'm Sorry
"My Lord, I have found them." My Lord's face twisted into an evil smile.
"Excellent. You have made me very happy Wormtail." My own face lit up at the rare praise.
"Tonight, James and Lily Potter, and their precious son will die. I will be undefeatable." My Lord turned his head toward me.
"Show the way Wormtail." I carefully led the way to Godric's Hollow. I watched as my Lord blew the gate then the door open. I stood helplessly as I heard one of my best friends yell for Lily to take little Harry and run.
I felt a tear slip out of the corner of my eye. A tear for James. A tear for Lily. And a tear for baby Harry. James. James was the first person to ever be nice to me. He cheered me on during a prank and helped me with my homework. He gave me my nick name. Lily. Lily was always nice to me. Even before she started going out with James. Lily always encouraged me. Harry. Baby Harry. Only one year old. To him I was "Uncle Wormy". Heck I even babysat him once or twice. He was so innocent. He doesn't deserve this.
I'm sorry James. I'm sorry Lily. I'm sorry Harry. I'm sorry for being a coward. I'm sorry for ratting you out. I'm sorry for not being brave. I'm sorry for killing you.
I hear Lily scream for Voldemort to take her instead and spare her son. I know he won't listen. I turned and ran. I ran from my cowardness. I ran from the guilt. I passes people making toasts.
"To Lily and James Potter." They say.
"To Lily and James Potter." I repeat.
"I'm sorry."
