I own nothing.

Peter Pettigrew

Peter wanted to strangle Snape. That ugly, pathetic, greasy- haired git. How dare he order Peter around the house like he was a servant. His Lord had ordered Peter to assist Snivelly. Of course Peter had no choice but to agree to that.

Peter knew what would happen to him if he went against Snape. He just couldn't believe that Snape, Severus Snape, that stupid greasy Slytherin boy, who Peter and his friends used to mock was now mocking a marauder. Then again, Peter had lost the right of being a marauder long ago. Maybe he deserved it.

No, no he did not. James always said that no one deserves being treated like vermin, Snape was an exception.

Peter did wonder what would have happened to him if he had chosen not to go over to the dark side. Maybe he would have ended up getting a house, a beautiful wife and kids, and especially his friends would have been with him.

No, that would have been impossible. Hadn't Peter joined the Dark Lord to get glory? Hadn't he, Peter, wanted to prove himself?

Prove what? A nagging voice said in his mind.

Prove that you are a traitor? Prove that you never deserved their trust? Prove that you are unworthy of calling yourself a Marauder and a Gryffindor?

Peter shook his head. Another thing he hated was that everyone around him seemed to remind him these things by calling him Wormtail. He got taunted by everyone.

Why couldn't he just forget his past? But that was another thing which seemed impossible there was no turning back from what he was.
