Chapter Three!

"What!" Grunted Remus who had been rushing thought the portrait hole and had collided with Sirius.

Sirius didn't seem to be able to speak. Finally he stuttered "P..P..Pe..Peter!" and fell out of the portrait hole. The rest of the marauders crawled out and within seconds they were all bending down on the floor over Peter, who lay motionless, unable to move or speak.

"Oh my god!" Remus gasped. "What happened?" James said. Sirius was very white. "How should I know? Remember he said he wasn't hungry and was going to go up without the feast..." Remus felt for a pulse, and felt one, barely. "He's alive!" he half shouted. "But what's wrong with him?" questioned James, who wasn't quite as pale now that he knew Wormtail wasn't dead. "What should we do now?" whispered Sirius. "We should take him to madam Pomfrey(the one now's grandmother)!" Remus said, getting up and pacing.

"But you know her, she'll think we pulled a prank on him!" James whined. "But this is more important than a prank, or detention" Sirius resentfully agreed. "Let's get him there." Remus picked up Peter by his shoulders and Sirius got his feet. James started to follow as people poured into the common room, none of them appearing to notice Peter.

Peter may have been annoying at times, but he was a maruader- Maruaders stand up for each other. They heaved him to the hospital wing, were Madam Pomfrey took over. She, as James had said, assumed they had pulled a prank, as she had never seen anything like this before. She assigned them detention and tried to revive Peter while the rest of the troupe went back to the common room, shaking with shock.

madam Pomfrey was not able to revive Peter, and sent for Headmaster Dippet. "I've never seen anything like this!" She said frantically. "What do we do?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the middle of the night the three Marauders decided that Peter was evil and slipped under the invisibility cloak and made their way to the hospital wing with knives. They went over to Peter's bed and stabbed him multiple times with their knives. then they walked to the Slytherin common room, carefully dripping blood all the way, and shoved the knives on the floor beside/under the statue that was entrance, making it look like someone had hid them there.
