The Spare

By: ChoCedric

There was a time when he used to be revolted at the thought of murdering another human being. But after constant ridicule from the so-called Marauders and intense training from the Dark Lord Voldemort, he's more than willing to complete the tasks his Master sets him. When he points his wand at the tall, handsome boy and says the killing curse, he only reflects for one second on what kind of life this boy had, whether he was loved, whether he had friends. In the big scheme of things, Peter thinks, it doesn't matter. For he was just an extra person in the world, one more person to ridicule him, one more person to feel sorry for him. So it's better that he be the one to get rid of him. A spare. Yes, that's all he is. Just a spare. And he swallows, the green light enveloping the boy, and he has no regrets. None.
