Chapter 29:
Weeks passed since that unforgettable Christmas. I hadn't yet secured the hair from 'wolf Remus' because if I kept giving him the Wolfsbane( which I figured out a little too late) he would see me and want to know what the hell I was doing there. But I just couldn't not give it to him. He needed the piece of mind, and so did I. I just couldn't help thinking about the consequences of changing the future. I was told I had to get rid of Voldemort. I found out the hard way what happens when you break instructions. I was told not to get involved and look what happened. I started falling for Remus and next thing I know, I'm on the impossible task of finding a cure for lycanthropy. Being back at Hogwarts helped me think. It cleared my head. I was reading through the Book of Shadows again when Peter came through the door.
I froze the room immediately and sent the book to its locked trunk in my room. I envisioned my Defense textbook and it appeared in my hands momentarily.
I un froze the git and he continued walking until he saw me glaring. He faltered and then waved shyly. He realized too late that I had frozen the room. I looked at Peter and with a move of my hand he was in front of me. I had him cornered by the window.
He looked absolutely terrified. I felt no sympathy. He had betrayed his friends and myself to Voldemort and had gotten Remus killed. I was not about to let that go unnoticed .
"Piper, wh-what's going on?" asked Peter, looking very pale.
"I know it was you that ratted me out to Voldemort."He flinched at the name. "I also know it was your fault that I had to bring Remus back from the dead. What the hell is your problem? Why would you do that to your friends? They trusted you. But thank god I didn't." I spat at him.
He looked like he was ready to pass out. I looked him square in the eye and said,
"If you ever try to hurt Remus or your other 'friends' again, I will personally see to it that you never see the light of day ever again. May you rot in hell." I walked away and as I was about to leave the room when Peter cast a spell I didn't recognize. I was suddenly sent flying out of the common room window. As I was free falling, I was trying to devise a plan. I was doing a lot of screaming which didn't help me whatsoever. I thought desperately to control my emotions. I tried to teleport my way back to the Common Room but it didn't work. I was almost to the ground when I calmed down enough to levitate slower to the ground. With a thud I hit the hard ground. Not as soft a landing as I would've liked. I started seeing stars and thought desperately.
"Sirius, if you're out here practicing Quidditch right now, fly over by the pond. NOW!" I then proceeded to black out.
Sirius's POV
I was zooming about the Quidditch pitch, feeling quite content until I almost fell of my bloody broom. I was about to throw the quaffle through the middle ring when someone shouted at me.
" Sirius, if you're out here practicing Quidditch right now, fly over by the pond. NOW!" I was hanging upside down off my broom by now and I looked around the pitch. No one was there.
Who yelled at me? Wait, could it be? Who did I know who had the power to scare the shit out of me? Well I knew only one witch, and if I knew her, she would never ask for help if she didn't absolutely needed it. She was stubborn as hell. I raced through the grounds of Hogwarts, hoping to find Piper, safe and sound.
I saw her lying on the ground. Not moving. I felt my heart in my throat. I sped my way down to the ground and jumped off a few feet away from the ground. I did a tuck and roll and ran to her.
"Piper?" I whispered.
I felt for a pulse. She still had one, thank god. I aimed my wand at her face.
"Aquamenti." I commanded it. Water shot at her from the end of my wand. She sat up spluttering.
"What the hell? Sirius? It worked?" she asked me.
"You can get in people's minds now?" I asked. Great. Just great.
"Want to tell me what happened Piper?" I questioned. Her expression darkened.
"Peter Pettigrew sent me flying out the Common Room window when I threatened him not to come near us all again." I didn't know what to say. I helped her up and forced her to go to the Hospital Wing.
Remus is going to be pissed, I thought.
"Tell me about it. I don't want to be Peter right now."
Piper said out loud to me. We looked at each other and I keeled over in laughter.
"What?" She asked me.
"I didn't say that out loud Piper. You're going to have to work on that." We made our way to the Hospital Wing and I got her settled. I told her I would go and fetch Remus for her. I ran through the halls. I found Remus studying in the Library. I should've known. I bolted past the very pissed off librarian.
"Moony!"I I called. He jumped in his seat grabbing for his wand.
"What could it possibly be Padfoot?" He asked me.
"Piper's in the Hospital Wing." I informed my friend. He paled and ran with me through the halls. We bolted into the Hospital Wing and straight to Piper.
"Darling, what happened?" he begged her. Piper looked right at him and said darkly,
"Our good friend Peter Pettigrew."
