Chapter 1: An Unlucky Visit From An Unlucky Person
Lupin was not talking much the next few weeks. He was just coming in and out to see Sirius and sometimes he would say a simple word such as "hi" and then leave. Sirius was getting worried about his dear friend, and knew something was wrong. One Monday, when Lupin was just opening the door to leave, Sirius got up from his chair and yelled, "STOP!"
Lupin turned around, and looked at Sirius.
"You've been acting strange ever since I showed you that necklace 5 weeks ago. Lupin, what IS wrong?" Sirius asked.
"N-nothing." Lupin shook in reply.
"Jeesh, you've been shaking alot lately. You're not Peter, you know." Sirius said.
Lupin sighed deeply, and then said quickly, "It's just that there's something fishy about that necklace. Ever since I saw it, I knew it was trouble. Everything seems to have been going wrong, I thought I was just having a bad luck streak, until I got up one Saturday morning. I remembered THAT necklace. I knew it had to have something to do with what was happening to me."
"Lupin, I didn't know...If I did-"
"You wouldn't have shown it to me." Lupin finished Sirius' sentance.
The door swang open, but no one SEEMED to be there. Sirius looked down, and saw a rat, with a small letter in it's mouth.
"Wormtail..." Sirius mumbled.
The rat ducked down, and shook nervously.
"Help me get 'im out of here, Lupin. I'll-"
"No, don't. He could be here for something very useful." Lupin said. "Are you, Peter?"
Scabbers nodded nervously. Lupin grabbed the letter, and began reading it. It said:
I'm terribly sorry to say this, BUT, a horrible thing has come to THIS house. I am so
sorry for dropping it, oh, I'm such a ditz! Forgive me please! Foregive me!
An old friend
Lupin automatically knew who it was who was writing it. Peter. Lupin looked down at the rat, and said, "You warned us about the necklace...But why? Aren't you on...The BAD side?"
Scabbers shook and then slipped under the door and ran off.
"Are you sure it's not a trick?" Sirius asked.
"No...He's...He's...He's doing something good. I have that feeling." Lupin replied.
