Chapter Three
The time had finally arrived. It all started when I heard that my old friend, Padfoot, had escaped Azkaban. I knew he would come for me and to tell you the truth I was scared. He knew that I was the secret keeper; he knew that I had betrayed Prongs and the mudblood. And he knew what I looked like when I transformed most of all.
I lost weight and started to become sicker and sicker, Ron, knew this and thought that I was dying. 'That would be perfect' I had thought, ' I could just fake my death again.
But to my annoyance, a cat, one who knew that I was no rat, had to come into the "golden" trio by way of the Granger girl. Mudbloods are much more trouble than they are worth, which isn't much at all. Only entertainment when you are torturing them, oh I could almost hear them screaming, and soon I would be able to.
I was riding on the train again, when I saw him, the third problem in my plan, Remus. Nothing was going my way. As long as Remus was asleep he wouldn't find me. But my luck is all bad. Along the way to Hogwarts a dementor stopped in the compartment. The lights had turned off and the train had stopped. The door opened and it was cold all of a sudden and I felt like the happiness was coming out of me. I remembered how I betrayed James and Lily and for the first time I had guilt.
But I was nothing compared to Potter. He started to jerk around and he fell on the floor, the weakling. Remus did a spell, the patrouns charm I think, and told the dementor that none of us were hiding Sirius Black. 'No' I thought, 'But you are housing a traitor.'
A few minutes passed and the lights came back on. Harry had fainted and his friends were waking him up. Remus offered him chocolate. Remus went to talk with the conductor finally I could come out.
I peaked out my head a little and listened to the conversation. They were talking about Harry hearing someone screaming. I wonder who that could be.
The cat was out to kill me. He was meeting with Padfoot telling him about me. He even gave Sirius the password to the Gryffindor Common Room. But luckily Ron finally proved his worth and yelled before he could do anything to me. The trio was always fighting with one another those days. Everything from Harry's Firebolt to me.
I thought this would be easy. All I had to do was bite myself leave some blood and they would think me dead. I did just that. But I never expected to be caught. I was in Hagrid's cabin what drove me there I don't know. That mudblood saw me and told Weasley.
He tried to tell me it was fine that there were no cats here. But that cat was the least of my problems. We went under James's cloak, 'How many times was I under here with the marauders.' I bit Ron, oh that felt really well, but no time to waste I had to get out of here somehow. I writhed so much that Ron threw the cloak off.
And then out of nowhere I heard paws on the ground. 'Padfoot,' I thought, 'he has come for me.' Sirius grabbed Ron arm in his mouth and dragged Ron and me into the passageway. The passageway to the Shrieking Shack. The place where Remus waited for us to join in our monthly adventures. We were pulled into a room. Padfoot waited and then he changed. Ron gasped for he thought that Sirius was a murder. Harry and Granger soon followed. Ron was yelling about it being a trap.
They were talking and Harry looked like he was going to kill Black. And then Ron piped in and said, "If you want to kill Harry, then you'll have to kill us all too!" Stupid boy he thought that Sirius was going to kill Harry. No, Sirius had always loved Harry. He always was so happy to see Harry and James and Lily. How anyone thought he could betray them was beyond me.
Harry was yelling about Padfoot killing his parents. He attacked Black and the cat attacked Potter. Then it stopped and Sirius said that he needed to tell the full story. Harry raised his wand again. And then footsteps coming closer and closer to us.
Remus walked into the room and took the wands that the children where holding and then he asked, "Where is he, Sirius?" He was talking about me. Sirius Pointed at me and to anyone else it would look like he was talking about Weasley. They started to talk about switching and Remus finally understood. Now all the marauders knew I was the traitor.
Lupin and Black hugged like we would in the old days. The Granger girl screamed. She talked about Moony being a werewolf. She had figured it out just like James, Sirius, and me. Harry yelled about Lupin helping Black and Lupin explained that he had not; that he didn't even believe that he was innocent.
And then brought up the clinching evidence of that I was alive, The Marauder's Map. They talked about how it worked and then Remus said. "The Point is that even if you're wearing and Invisibility cloak, you still show up on the Marauder's Map. I watched you cross the grounds and enter Hagrid's hut. Twenty minutes later, you left Hagrid, and set off back towards the castle. But you were accompanied by somebody else." Finally they we talking about me, but not that I was happy about it.
They talked about how there were two of us pulled into the Whomping Willow. And then my ears perked up. I heard my name, my true name, not Wormtail, not Scabbers, Peter Pettigrew.
You're both metal." Ron stated.
Peter Pettigrew's dead! He killed him twelve years ago! Harry cried pointed at Black.
"I meant to but little Peter got the better of me...not this time, though!
Sirius lunged at me. But Remus said, "Sirius, No!" "WAIT! You can't do it just like that---we've got to explain---"'Oh great' I thought bitterly, 'I have to wait to be killed.' Black said he would explain later, But Remus brought up Harry.
Harry, that would make him wait, Harry was always used to barter with Sirius when Harry was little. You bring up Harry and Sirius would listen to you. He loved Harry like his own soon. Again how would anyone think that Sirius could kill Harry?
So they started into the story. The story about how we all became Animagi. And how we were the marauders. And the joke Sirius Played on Snape. And almost as if he was called Snape took of the invisibility cloak.
Snape and the rest of them yelled for a while, it was quite annoying. And then for the only time I will ever thank the trio, they knocked him out. But my relief only lasted for a few moments. They started to talk about me again. About the way I cut off my finger. About how was the Secret-Keeper, which of course involved more yelling from Harry, I don't remember James yelling this much!
Ron finally handed me over. Lupin and Black were going to revel me. I fell to the floor and started to grow. I was rather rat like myself. I was short, grubby, had a pointed nose, and watery eyes. All in all not very attractive human being. Remus talked to me calmly. But my voice was high and squeaky, as I talked to my old friends.
Black tried to attack me but Remus stopped him and then he turned to me again.
"We've been having a little chat, Peter, about what happened the night Lily and James died. You might have missed the finer points while you were squeaking around down there on the bed---"
"Remus, you don't believe him, do you...?" I was sweating like no tomorrow. "He tried to kill me, Remus..."
He began to talk to me coldly. And more squeaking came from me. I tried to reason with Remus. Black talked to me about why I was the secret-keeper, just because he had suggested it. I muttered under my breath denying everything he said but knowing I was guilty. I looked for an exit.
Granger asked if she could say something. She asked why I hadn't hurt Harry yet. I used this in my defense but inside I was saying, ' I had to wait for the right moment.' Black also had his reasons. Granger asked another question, this time about how Padfoot escaped. That mudblood had some use I guess.
But again Black had a response. Then he explained my on how he knew he could find me at Hogwarts. Black got done with his speech and then Harry did something that would with out a doubt make everyone think me guilty,
He nodded. I cried out, "No!" I fell to my knees sobbing. I was begging to everyone and denying all that I was saying in my head. 'I am not your friend, Black, Of course they wouldn't have told you if they had changed the plans, Remus, I don't care about you, Ron, Stupid girl that is what you are Granger.' Harry was the only one I told the truth to. No one could deny that he looked like James.
I begged to Harry, Harry was the one that would deliver my sentence, to let me die, or to let me live. It was all up to him. Black asked me if I had sold out Lily and James and I didn't deny it. I burst into tears not because of Lily and James but that I might die.
Black yelled at me that I should have died, and Remus said to me that is Voldemort didn't kill me than they would.
And then my savior stepped, in the form of Harry.
"NO!" he cried. "You can't kill him you can't"
They tried to reason with him but Harry was firm. 'Great my life was saved by a halfblood, WAIT! I am in the debt of my master's enemy!'
He said I would go to Azkaban and I thanked him and thanked him. He said that he didn't do it for me, but he did it for his dad.
We were finally leaving the shack. I was chained up to Weasley and Lupin, with Lupin's wand pointed at me. I looked up at the sky and saw that it was a full moon. A full moon and Lupin had not taking his potion. Moony began to shake like he always did when he transformed.
This would be my escape. I dived for Remus wand and shot a spell at Ron. Some one took the wand from me, but I didn't care I was going to get away. I was transformed. I ran and I ran I didn't know where I was going. I heard screams of no and Expecto patronum!
I was near the lake; there were about a hundred dementors there. Harry was trying to deflect them but to no avail. He fell to his knees and a little light came from his wand. And then an animal came charging forth it was a stag. It was Prongs. 'James' I thought 'but how could he be alive.' Someone was standing across the lake. It looked like James, but it couldn't be.
I turned and scurried away. 'What a great year this turned out to be' I thought with sarcasm, 'I am in the debt of my enemy and I think I am going crazy because I saw my dead friend.
A/N well here you go this almost triples the length of my story! Read and Review!
