What if?
Chapter one-Wormtail wasn't so spineless
This story is set when Harry is still baby. And reflects on the most common phrase known to man kind. 'What if?'
James and lily are on their way out to an important Order of the Phoenix meeting. Remus Lupin, Sirius black, James potter and peter Pettigrew wait for lily to say bye to Harry.
"Lily I know Harry's only a baby but I think he gats the point" peter piped up.
"well your right peter.here are the rules its got a list of everything that could possibly disturb Harry and how to make him feel better, like if he gets upset cause there's a loud noise a simple bubble charm will make him laugh and then there's-" lily was cut off
"Lily I'm sure peter can read" James cut in
"And I've babysat for u at least a hundred times get going .NOW!" peter laughed as they apperated out. Peter just looked at Harry lying there innocently. There was a huge twist of guilt in his stomach. Peter had planed this night so Harry would be unprotected, well as far as James and lily knew he was well protected. The dark lord voldermorts would strike Harry tonight. Peter watched Harry fall innocently, then magically locked all the doors and windows. He was planning to try and rebel him to save Harry he put Harry in his room and placed a silencing charm on the room and many others so it would be near impossible for anyone to get to it. Then he sat down to build a castle of exploding snap cards. Rather amusing unlike muggles card castles. It turned 1:00 in the morning and peter knew that he could not withstand the dark lord and save Harry but was willing to try. So wen lily and James came home to find peter and Harry dead he would do the only decent thing and write the most honest letter he had ever written;
Dear James and lily,
This letter will be the last and most honest letter I have ever written. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. Since the beginning of our seventh year at hogwarts I have been living two lives! This is because I made other friends, the legerstranges approached me and I followed them in their path. I had never been that talented and although you were only trying to help when you told me how to do things so I didn't get it wrong, I hated it, they promised that I could show off my 'hidden' talents I thought about this. I knew if I followed I'd be on the wrong side of the war but what they offered was all I ever wanted. Talent and to finally be able to out shine my friends. That year I became a Death Eater. James you must understand how I regret it, you're the closest friend I have ever had. I also hope that you understand that I have never betrayed you my friends not you not Sirius or Remus or even lily . until now. When I did things like this to others it didn't seem at all bad. But as I watched lily fuss over Harry tonight I felt a twang of guilt make that a huge and enormous feeling of guilt. James I know you so well u wont look at the obvious cause you don't want see what I did. Well here go's .you know who wants Harry because if a prophecy, Harry is the only one with a chance to beat lord-.you know who and to destroy him he want s to get rid of Harry before he grows into a strong wizard because James that's what he'll become and lo- he knows it he plans to go after Alice and franks son as well I will protect Harry with my life watching him tonight I saw I love him like my own flesh and blood! I only hope I can stop him in time. My apologies (although it will never be enough)
Wormtail (that's all I am a spineless worm)
Then there was a creak of the potters gate, he was here! Peter ran to Harry's room and re sealed the charms. He made ready to fight as he knew he must, he ran over all the defensive magic he had ever learnt! He would even use dark magic to protect Harry. Although he had learnt it he had never used it he hated it he ran over various spells in his head. He started to get nervous. What the hell was he doing he could go bk unseal the charms and hand Harry over he could do this and live- no Harry was like family he loved him like he loved James, Sirius and Remus. There was a swish of a cloak on the stairs calm powerful and unaware of peters betrayal.
