The Potters
13/ Ultimate Betrayal

A/N: OMG! My fic is as old as me! Wow!!! Anyway....here we go. Harry and the young gang are not in this chapter.


The old gang was back at Hogwarts. Sirius, Remus, James, Lily, and Snape. But something was missing, actually someone.
Peter Pettigrew. James and Lily had no idea that Peter had betrayed them. They had never known. They knew he was the secret-keeper, but they hadn't thought he'd told Voldemort because he wanted to. They thought he had been tortured.

"It's almost like the whole gang is back again." Said James.

"Yeah, except Peter. Is he OK, Remus?"

"Lily, James....we need to tell you something." Sirius said.

"WHAT! Is he OK?" James said.

Sirius spat on the floor and told them the story:
"Peter has been in Voldemort's inner circles since 5th year. He told Voldemort Willingly. And that is how he found out where you were. I found Peter and tried to kill the little rat. He made an escape and made me look like I had killed him. I was sent to Azkaban till Harry and Violet's third year. Then I escaped. I found Harry and Violet. Remus and I found him and we tried to kill him but he got away. I've been a fugitive since this summer. They gave me a trial and I was given the truth potion. I told the truth and Fudge had no choice to let me free. I came to tell the kids when I found you guys."

James and Lily stared in horror. Lily wept. Severus rubbed her shoulder. James stood up with his wand.

"NO, NO NO! He was like a brother to me. NO!" He yelled.

"James! He's Voldemort's right hand man now. He helped resurrect Voldemort."

"How'd he do that, Remus! How!!" James shouted, he knew the answer.

"When Harry was in the TriWizard tournament Voldemort captured him. One of his DeathEaters kid-napped Violet from the stands. He took their blood and resurrected Voldemort." Remus said.

"No. No...He's not getting away with this! This was the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL! No!" James shouted. He started to run out but Lily caught him by the shoulders.

"James...no. He's a DeathEater you should know how powerful they are. Voldemort controlled you to do many bad things. Maybe Peter was forced...."

"No, Lily, He wasn't he....he....admitted it." Severus whispered.

"No!"

"Yes..." Said a voice from the corner of the bar they were sitting at."

"You...how dare you come here!?" James shouted.

"No....why did you do it?" Lily said.

"Get the Hell out Peter no one wants you here. You are not welcome!" Sirius shouted.

"You wanna know why I did it? Cause I can...and it was fun...betrayal is a wonderful thing. You would know wouldn't you Severus." And with that the Rat was gone.


"Sev, what is he talking about?" Lily said shakily.

"I was a spy for Dumbledore. I was a DeathEater...I never meant to kill her." Severus started to cry.

"What do you mean...Severus! you're scaring me! What!?" Lily whimpered.

"The fire..."

"Oh, My God....you killed Rose and Daisy...No!" Lily shouted.

"He made me do it...she was our sister. I never meant to do it he made me...Imperious curse. God, I'm sorry Lily…I'm sorry."

"It's OK. Severus. He did it to us too. It's OK." James said.

Then there was a group hug. Everyone seemed to be crying. Except James. He just stared at the spot where Peter had been not to long ago. He had had the chance to kill him. Why hadn't he?
