Chapter 3 – The Truth

There were lots of questions I wanted to ask but I knew which one had to come first. "If you're my dad who's my real mother?" I asked him.

Sirius sighed sadly and looked down at the floor. "Her name was Evelyn Potter" he replied "She was my best friends cousin."

My eyes widened. "Do you mean Potter as in Harry Potter?" I said in shock.

He nodded.

"I'm related to Harry Potter?"

He nodded again.

This was almost too much for me to take in. First I find out my real dad is a wrongly convicted criminal and now I'm told I'm related to the boy who lived! Even more questions came into my head but even more urgently I wanted to find out about my mum. "So what happened to my mum? Where is she?" I asked wanting to know what had happened to her.

Sirius looked at the floor again. He seemed to be remembering something that was painful for him and his voice was quite quiet when he spoke. "She's dead. She was killed by Peter Petigrew"

"What!" I shouted unable to believe I what I was hearing. I was completly confused. "What's Petigrew got to do with anything?"

I waited for an answer but Sirius seemed too upset to tell me so I turned to Dumbledore. "Pettigrew handed the Potters over to Voldemort" he explained. I then looked back at my father.

"isn't that what you were sent to askaban for?" I asked Sirius.

"Yes" he answered "But really it was Petigrew. I convinced James and Lily to use him as secret keeper then he went and betrayed them. Evelyn and I went after him but he framed me and Evelyn was one of the ones he killed when he blew up the street."

Sirius suddenly looked angry and I could understand why. Everything I thought I knew about him was wrong and really Peter Petigrew was the one to blame. I was angry to. Petigrew had killed my mother and sent my father to Azkaban! "is that why you escaped? To go after him?" I said.

"To clear my name and make sure the right man was sent to prison" he answered "But it didn't work. You see, Peter is an animagus"

I'd heard of animagi before but it was the kind of stuff we hadn't done about at Hogwarts yet. "That means he can turn into an animal doesn't it" I said "Like you can. You were a dog when I first got here"

"that's right. Peter's animal form is a rat. He managed to transform and escape" Sirius explained, and everything was starting to make a bit more sense.

"And the ministry won't believe your inocent until you catch him will they?" I asked as I began to work things out.

"No they won't" Sirius confermed "but its worse than that. This isn't just about me."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused again.

Sirius looked at Dumbledore who then looked at me. "We believe Peter Pettigrew has gone to find lord Voldemort."
