Chapter Two: The Real Wormtail.
Peter Pettigrew rushed through the towns square, running as fast as his chubby little body would allow him. But he wasn't fast enough, in front of him stood Sirius Black, a man who was once his friend.
"Peter I'm going to kill you!" Sirius screamed as he took his wand out.
Peter looked from side to side quickly. "SIRIUS!! JAMES AND LILY? HOW COULD YOU?" He screamed, his wand pointed behind him.
Sirius snarled, raising his wand, and that's when it happened. Peter uttered Reducto, and the whole town behind him blew up, he cut his finger off, turned into a rat and scurried into a drain, all the while, Sirius stood there and laughed hysterically.
Who would have thought that the good for nothing, lazy, stupid Peter would outsmart him.
Fourteen years had passed since that day, and Peter had been living with a magical family named the Weasleys as their pet rat. But two years ago, he'd been found out when Sirius had escaped Azkaban and came for him.
Then just this July, Peter has helped in the return of his master Lord Voldemort. But instead of celebrating with the rest of the ranks, Peter was sitting in his room, thinking about that night. The night that he saw Sirius again two years ago.
"We would have died! Died rather than betrayed our friends!" Sirius yelled.
What had changed? What had made him betray his friends?
All of a sudden an influx of memories overtook him, and memory after memory started playing before his eyes.
I clutched the paper in my hands tightly, my knuckles turning white.
"Peter? Are you okay?" I heard someone ask as I started to sway.
I turned around and saw Sirius looking at me with concern.
"I….I just got a letter that says that I've been accepted into the healing academy at St. Mugos….I've been accepted." I said, too stunned to speak.
"Wormtail that's brilliant. OY!! LISTEN UP EVERYONE!" Sirius yelled to the common room. "PETER HERE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE HEALING PROGRAM AT ST. MUGO'S!"
The crowed roared with happiness as I was hugged by Lily and slapped on the back by James. Remus just smiled at me and said congratulations.
Peter clutched his head in pain, and cried out as more memories flew by.
"'Ormta! 'Ormta!" Harry yelled as he saw me, putting his hands up into the air to be picked up.
"Hello Harry! Where are your parents?" I asked as I walked further into the house.
He jus smiled at me and then squirmed to be let down. After I was sure that he was safe and playing with his toys, I walked into the kitchen.
"Peter, there's something you should know." James said as I sat down. Lily's eyes were red, and she was sitting there with a defeated look upon her face.
"What? What's wrong?" I asked.
"Peter, Voldemort is after us, after Harry."
I sat there, stunned and then whispered, "Why?"
He winced, and then took a sip of his tea. Looking me right into my eyes he said, "Because of a prophecy."
When it was all done, the only thing that could be heard in the small room was the relieved crying of a man who had never betrayed his friends.
A man that had tried to protect them with his very mind.
