Let's see the infamous Evan's wrath!

Song for this chapter is 'Backstabber' by Ke$ha.

Answering a guest review from leahbear0818 that was 'would it be spoiling if you if I asked if mica is going to tell them who she really is?'

- Yes, it is spoiling, so, unfortunately, I can't answer this rn, you'll have to read the story to find out. But thank you so much for reviewing! It made my day!

My first reaction was, 'Poor Peter.'

My second reaction, 'Ha! I'm gonna enjoy this.'

Lily stormed into the corridor.

"Miss- you aren't...," the poor receptionist tried to stutter out but Lily was already gone.

The anger from James, Remus and Sirius' face dissipated, replaced by an expression of utter dread. Simultaneously, they rushed after Lily.

I followed, not wanting to miss a second of this.

The red-head was easily spotted in the narrow corridor. She was striding so fast that even though the other Marauders were running, they still couldn't catch up with her.

She charged through the group of wizards, pushing them aside to reach the wizard in the very front. Cameras flashed, the reporters chattering excitedly over witnessing the drama.

Umbridge stepped forward, lifting her head to gain some advantage in height and said, "Mrs Potter- you c-"

"Not now bitch," Lily said raising her hand in a silencing gesture as she reached Peter and grabbed his collar, causing the boy to stumble back slightly as she raised him a few inches from the ground.

By now the Marauders and I had reached the scene.

I swear I heard the pale boy whimpering. Legit whimpering.

"YOU TRAITOROUS ASS!" Lily shouted followed by a string of curses which I had never thought I would hear from her mouth.

"Security! Security!" Umbridge exclaimed, finally getting over the shock.

James and Sirius stepped forward, grabbing onto each of Lily's arms trying to loosen her grasp on Peter's collar. But Lily wasn't letting go easily.

It took 3 Aurors along with James and Sirius to make Lily let go of the shirt. Peter scrambled back with a yelp, hiding behind one of the Aurors that had arrived.

"HOW COULD YOU?! YOU BASTARD! How could you do that? How could you work with her? After all that she's done-" Lily continued struggling as James held her back, whispering calming words in her ear, "How could you do that to us? How could you do that to REMUS? After all that we've gone through together! EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE DONE FOR YOU!"

Peter looked at Lily in absolute fear. He was shivering, his face void of any colour and his eyes widened. More Aurors rushed to the scene standing in front of the group of ministry workers forming a human barrier.

Lily continued screaming at Peter, letting out all her anger, all her frustration.

Peter's eyes darted towards the media. They were whispering among themselves, looking at Lily as if she was a madwoman. Umbridge was whispering to one of them, adding fuel to the fire, defending herself and her company. His eyes then darted towards the Aurors. They had their wands out, positioned towards the Marauders and me, ready to defend the group behind them.

A sense of pride and confidence filled him. All these people were on his side.

"What you've done for me?" he said stepping forward with new-found confidence, a dangerous edge to his voice, "What have you done for me? NOTHING, absolutely nothing! I am the one who's always helped you out! I've kept all your secrets, helped in all your plans, been there for you all, in the sidelines! FOR WHAT? Your belittling and your taunts! You've always held me back! EVEN NOW you're holding me back!" He laughed then, "I've finally got this job that I'm good at! But you can't bear to see me in that position, can you? YOU CAN'T BEAR TO SEE THAT I MIGHT BE BETTER THAN YOU!"

"You know that's not it Peter," Sirius growled out, "You know that's not the reason we're mad."

"Then why?" Peter spat out in return, "Cause Remus is a werewolf? Cause he's a filthy half-breed!"

"YOU-" Lily exclaimed, pushing James off her, though from the look on James' face I didn't think he let her go on purpose.

The bravery on Peter's face melted away as Lily charged towards him. He tried to hide even further behind the Aurors but Lily whipped out her wand and shot a Stupefy towards them, blasting them off their feet, leaving Peter uncovered.

She raised her hand and punched Peter right in the jaw. He cried out and stumbled back.

Aurors caught hold of Lily and dragged her back but she didn't protest anymore

Instead, she shouted at her former friend, "Don't you dare call Remus that! Don't you dare you little piece of-"

"Take her out! Take her out of here right now!" Umbridge ordered over Lily's voice, her face scrunched up as it turned redder by the minute.

Lily jerked her hand out of the Aurors' grip, glaring at them, "I'm going. Don't want to be in her Toadly's presence anyways."

She walked out from there. James shot a nasty glare towards Peter before rushing after Lily.

"You're a fucking coward, you know that," Sirius said, grimacing with disgust at the sight of the shivering boy he had once called his friend.

He put one arm around Remus who had remained silent throughout the whole ordeal, his eyes fixed to the floor. I walked over to Remus' other side and took his other arm. Together we walked out.

Once we were outside the corridor, my eyes fell on Lily and James in the sitting area. They sat, not caring anymore about the state of the couches. Lily's head was buried into James' neck and he had his arms wrapped around her. Her breath was still ragged, it's sound echoing across the room.

The receptionist opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but then wisely decided to stay quiet.

We walked over to the two. Remus fell into a seat, dropping his face into his hands, hiding it from sight.

Sirius bent near him, putting a hand on the werewolf's shoulder.

"You okay mate?" he asked concernedly

Everyone looked up, eyes trained on Remus as he remained silent for a few seconds.

"Yeah," he finally spoke up, his voice fragile, muffled from behind his calloused palms, "Yeah- I'm fine."

Nobody believed him.

Still, we all nodded. James leaned forward and pulled Remus into a hug. Sirius joined him and soon they were followed by Lily.

I wasn't about to hug anybody so I just put a hand on the Remus' shoulder.

"Thanks guys," Remus said, his voice soft as if he couldn't find the energy to speak up.

"Wormt-" James choked on the word as if he couldn't bear speaking that nickname, as if he couldn't bear talking about Peter with such familiarity. "Peter's," he finally said, "an idiot."

"You got that right," Lily murmured.

We stayed like that for a few moments. A tensed silence filling the room.

Sirius then pulled away, a big grin on his face. "Guys," he said. Everybody except Remus looked towards him, questioning looks on our faces due to his sudden change in mood, "Peter turned out to be a big ol' rat, didn't he?"

For a moment, none of us responded.

Then all of us groaned in unison.

"No! Not the puns!" Lily moaned.

"In the whole world of rat-related humour, you go for that?" James asked chuckling.

Remus finally looked up, a tired smile on his face. "That's pathetic Padfoot," he said, "Even for you."

A grin spread over everyone's lips. "Oi! For your information- I tell amazing jokes!"

"Yeah, yeah tell yourself that," I murmured rolling my eyes teasingly.

Sirius playfully bumped his shoulder with mine.

"At least I got you to laugh," he pointed his finger at Remus.

"Congratulations," Remus retorted.

Sirius bowed dramatically, "Thank you!" A chorus of laughter left the group's mouths.

The conversation was interrupted as the group of reporters passed from the room, whispering among themselves as if they just had a field day.

Behind them came the group of ministry officials, flanked on all sides by Aurors.

Umbridge, who was leading the group, glared at us but was largely ignored for the mousy boy beside her.

A purple bruise coloured his jaw, which I noticed Lily stared at with smug satisfaction. He looked fearfully at her before his eyes fell on the Aurors around him.

Newfound bravery filled his eyes, as his chest puffed out and his head was held high.

He glared back at us, a sense of superiority filled in his posture.

His eyes flitted towards me for a second but he didn't even twitch before he looked ahead.

Not that it surprised me.

Because it was clear.

Peter loved power more than he loved any person in the world.

So a lot of people have been asking me, 'Wouldn't Lisa/Mica feel bad about hurting Lily or Remus in the process of taking her revenge, cause they were once her friends?'

After ignoring these questions for a long time in fear of revealing a major spoiler, I finally decided to answer you all (with a lot of re-reading might I add).

Lisa is not going to target anyone solely based on association. She isn't gonna harm Lily just because she's James' wife or Remus cause he's their friend. If she was doing that then she would've been hurting Alyssa and Harry too. They ARE the most vulnerable and would easily affect the lives of everyone in close association with them, like James.

Lisa's craving for revenge is incredibly layered and diverse. Every person she takes revenge on has done something to deserve so, has done something to deeply hurt Lisa. There IS a reason I'm doing a flashback kinda story, or else I would just have thrown in a few chapters of backstory and been done with it.
