The Renee' Series-Part Two
"The Mistake"

Harry, Hermione, and Draco left the Three Broomsticks at about 5:00pm. Harry and Draco were still telling Hermione about how they had become friends over the summer.

"Draco is actually a pretty good guy," said Harry. "I can't believe you didn't tell me you liked Herm, Draco."

"Well, you're okay, too. I guess, I mean. When you're not being pig-headed or stubborn," he joked.

"Believe me, I know what you mean," said Hermione, smiling. Then she gasped. "Oh, my gosh! Harry! Look who's heading our way!"

"Wormtail?" asked Harry, astounded.

"That's impossible," said Draco quickly. "I heard my father kill the rat as I was leaving to meet Hermione here."

Harry frowneed. "Draco....are you sure it was Pettigrew you heard die?"

"No, all I heard was a man yelling 'Avada Kedavra', and then a really loud thump," said a quite tearful Draco Malfoy.

"Well, we don't know it was him for sure, but there's only one way to find out," said Hermione. "Come on, then."

As they began to approach Pettigrew, he began to run away. Draco ran after, screaming at him. "Come back here, you piece of scum! What did you do to my father? Where is my father?!"

As he kept running after Pettigrew, he realized where they had run to. They were back in Muggle London. Wormtail stopped, and Draco tackled him to the ground.

"What did you do to my father?!"

"I killed him," replied a shaken Pettigrew. He changed into a rat, showing the true side of his personality. Then he ran, leaving Draco alone on the Muggle street.
