Sirius' pov- a few weeks later
The next few weeks were spent by Sirius hiding from the ministry for magic in his dog form as he was number one murderer on the loose. People had there reasons to think that it was he who sold the potters to Voldemort and he couldn't blame them seeming it was only him and the potters that new they switched secret keepers. Sirius was sat in an ally way reading the front page from a discarded Daily prophet article. It read 'Sirius black: most wanted. Sold his best friends to the dark lord'
"I would have died." He muttered to himself casting the paper to one side and getting to his feet " I would have died rather than betray my friends"
Through all the grief and sorrow Sirius still had one ambition; peter Pedigrew will die for what he did. In his animagus form Sirius would prowl the streets in hope in finding the rat but with little luck. As he was about to exit then alleyway in his dog form his nose picked up on the sent he had known for years
"Wormtail" he snarled turning back into human form and following the sent down the street.
The smell got stronger as he followed it down the twisted alleyway then... He saw him. Admiring the display of sweets in a muggle sweet shop stood none other than peter Pedigrew. Sirius was about to run out, blind with rage and rip out the little rats throat. But he stopped himself.
"Let pull one last prank before I become a murderer." Sirius smirked an evil grin letting the marauder take over.
Being careful to stay quiet he slowly stalked up behind Pedigrew leaning over his shoulder to admire the display
"It all looks quite delicious aye' Wormtail?" He asked with his voice dripping in sarcasm
Pedigrew looked like he touched an iron. He jumped around facing Sirius with a horror struck expression but something flashed across his eyes... Pure evil. Sirius didn't like where this was going. As Pedigrew advanced on him Sirius backed up towards the nearest alleyway.
"Sirius!" He cried as half the muggle street stopped and stared (obviously recognising the name from the muggle news) " how could you! Lily and James,you sold them to Voldemort! How could you!"
Sirius couldn't contain his rage any longer as he pulled out his wand
"Why you little...!"
The next few seconds seemed to happen in slow motion. Peter turned into his rat animagus form as half the street exploded killing 12 muggles. With his ears ringing with screams of pure terror Sirius caught on to peters escape and turned into padfoot escaping down the nearest ally. A split second later the street was full of auoros searching for the the person responsible. Running away from the crime scene Sirius turned back into human form regretting not killing Wormtail on the spot
"The rat escapes again" he sighed to himself
It suddenly dawned on him that everyone at the scene believe him to be dead. That meant he could walk freely... That meant that he could get harry back.
A/N sorry for the short chapter.
