Chapter 2- Betrayal
Sirius landed smoothly a short distance from Peter's house, now there was definitely strange no lights were on, the things Remus said flashed across his mind he tried to push them back out, but it wasn't working.
But it was arrange that I came to see him, at this time, every night to make sure it was all going ok, come on Peter, where the hell are you!
He stood there waiting for a while, wondering what to do, what if it was a trap, what if something had happened to him, his mind boggled with terrifying thoughts about what lay ahead. Was he just paranoid or was Moony right.
Oh come on Padfoot everything's fine he's probably just fallen asleep or something. There's bound to be a simple answer.
He kicked himself from worrying too much but he cared very much about his friends he was allowed to worry.
He knocked on the door...no answer...he knocked again...still nothing...
This is really strange.
He tried the door, it was open.
This is not like Wormtail he always locks the door, he's a right wimp!
He drew his wand out of his pockets and held on tight, he didn't know what to expect, if this were a trap from Voldemort for him he'd want to be ready. He thought about calling out for Peter but did not want to give away his presence. He crept silently through the deserted house; he knew it like the back of his hand, he spent so much time here checking up on Peter.
Bloody hell Peter where are you! You might have been kidnap, killed for all I know, but there's no sign of struggle, no you and no signs of anything...
'Oh my god Lily, James and Harry!' he cried the last bit out loud.' If you have Peter, I swear I'll kill you!'
He fled the house and took off into the night. Flying a bit lower than was wise but that was the last thought on his mind, all that mattered was that he was to get to Lily and James, he didn't care if a muggle spotted him. Anyway muggles did their best to ignore magic even if it was staring them in the face.
God please, please be ok I know you will, let this all be some stupid mistake I've made! When I get there James will be doing paper work and Lily will be feeding Harry, I will look a right fool but at least I know you're safe.
But pictures of how he would find their cottage were haunting his mind, their lifeless bodies, his best friends and godson, although he cared very, very much about Lily and James, it was little Harry he was most worried about he was their only chance.
*****
He landed at the bottom of the hill where their house was there were too many charms around the house. He ran to the bottom of the hill waited and few minutes, muttering a prayer.
Thank god no dark mark!
But he was to be mistaken and his worst fear was realised; he ran up the hill, slowly over the edge came the smouldering ruins of the house, his best friend's house. Panting and out of breath he collapsed to his knees and began to cry, silent tears poured down his face. There was no sign of any life what so ever.
'I'm so sorry James, Lily and Harry I'm so, so sorry. It's my entire fault I persuaded you to use Peter, he has betrayed us all! But it was all my fault!' He sobbed beating the ground with his fist.
He got up and swayed slightly on the spot in fear of being sick.
'My best friends, my best friends!'
He slowly staggered to the smouldering rubble on the ground, searching for any signs of life any hope.
'Peter how could you we were your friends! A marauder! One of us!' he sobbed.

What do you think two in one day not bad eh! I hope it all makes sense. There is more, so bear with me please. Thanks Thea for the review and to every one you said it didn't suck! It gets happier too so don't worry plus you can work out the title. I've got exams at school (they give a kid way too much pressure) so It might not be for a while but I will do my very best promise. I'm trying to write longer chapters but it's just not working! Thanks! :O)
