Peter nudged Sirius lightly, trying to get him to quiet down. He really didn't feel like dying today. His gaze darted to Leigh, but he wasn't sure whether or not he should answer her, for fear of angering Voldemort. Instead, he searched for the answer to the Dark Lord's question. "Well, I, uh... I was looking for my friends..." he replied truthfully, hoping that he would get out of this mess alive.
Sirius looked up at Peter and started barking again
Lord Voldemort walked over to Peter "Looking for your friends? Well, do you see any here?" He said unaware, James, and 'snuffles' were is friends.
Tigress sighed with relief and hated herself mentally for it. 'Oh yes, get off for being stupid before and make more noise' She thought to herself, she pulled back slightly, hoping she wouldn't be seen.
Leigh looked at Peter with sympathy 'I wonder if I should help him lets see I need a quick excuse think think!' she screamed to herself, "Umm Voldemort sir umm he came to see me you see we were supposed to meet here before all of this happened." she said hoping he would believe her.
Sirius looked at Leigh 'She's a traitor! She's on there side!' he thought to himself.
Voldemort raised an eyebrow at Leigh "A Slytherin was meeting a Gryffindor in the forest, with is dog. I find that very...odd"
"Voldemort Peter is my boyfriend that is his pet dog we were supposed to meet for a date today." she said swallowing her pride, "There is no doubt I am loyal to you but as you can see I'm not an ordinary Slytherin." she said walking over to them arms still crossed.
He stared from Voldemort to Leigh and back to Voldemort again. What was she talking about?
"No we wer-" He stopped. She was loyal to Voldemort? He stared at her again in shock. "You're on his side?" he asked in disbelief. Leigh, of all people.
Voldemort looks around "Meeting dismissed, everyone leave."
Sirius runs out of the forest.
Leigh sighed and nodded, "For Amanda's safety I had to." she said shrugging, "Had I not joined he would have killed Amanda and I both, I despise him but I am under oath to not betray him in anyway so I follow under his orders." she spat out, "And yes we were supposed to meet here remember?" she said trying to get him to play along.
Tigress shuddered slightly as the death eaters apparated with loud popping noises. She watched the remaining people cautiously, not sure if she should make herself known or not.
Leigh sighed and started to walk back to the grounds, "Peter if you do not wish to speak with me again I'll understand." she said crossing her arms still walking through the forest.
Tigress followed Leigh trough the forest, oblivious to the loud cracking branches behind her as she jumped off of them.
Peter stared at where Voldemort had been standing. Well, he certainly left fast.
He only faintly heard Leigh's voice, as he was still under shock. James and Leigh were on Voldemort's side? When did that happen? Who was Amanda? He dropped down to the ground in a sitting position, staring off into space. What had happened while he was wherever he was a few days ago?
He snapped out of his daze. "What?" His gaze wandered about. Where in the world did Sirius go? Seeing that Leigh was leaving, he ran up to catch up to her. He had a whole list of questions in his mind to ask her.
Leigh smiled and looked over her shoulder a little she didn't care if she was being followed at the moment she needed to talk to Manten and Kyra about her situation, she walked a little more and found them sitting waiting for her they stood up and ran to her, "Hi guys." she said smiling weakly, "What's wrong?" asked Manten, "Well you guys need to go hide in the forest for awhile until I straiten some things out ok?" they understood and handed Leigh her bag, they hugged her and were gone, Leigh sighed and went back to drag Lucius out of the forest she found him exactly where they had left him, she smiled and pulled out her wand, "Wingardium Leviosa!" she shouted and Lucius was lifted she walked to the ground and sat down Lucius still floating behind her.
