Peter's POV – November 1981

I sat on a stool in a bar in Diagon Alley. I was listening out for news. I hadn't heard anything from both the Death Eaters or my friends. There was a rumour that The Dark Lord was gone, it didn't seem to be like that, the Dark mark was still on my arm but very very faint. There was also no news of the Potters. The rumours were flying thick and fast. There were rumours that the Potters were dead, others saying they'd gone back into hiding. There were hundreds of them. I'd sent owls to Remus, Sirius, Jenny and April but I suspected they all knew about my betrayal. Every time I thought of it I got nervous. They'd kill me for sure. I had to think of a plan to prevent them from finding out I did it willingly. It would be hard to hide it against April. I'm sure she'd force me to look into her eyes.

I downed my drink in a single gulp and slammed the glass back on the tale top. I couldn't handle it. The Death Eaters were after me because it's my fault that the Dark Lord is gone, my friends were after me because I'd given the Dark Lord Lily and James on a silver platter. I got up and pulled my cloak around me and stepped out into the windy November night. It was raining and it was cold. I pulled the cloak around me tighter and pulled the collar of it up. The weather seemed to suit my mood. What was that word that you used to describe it? Prophetic Fallacy? I went into the Leaky Cauldron and shook my head free of the water. I gave Tom the innkeeper a sickle and took a handful of Floo Powder. I threw it into the fireplace and went back home. I could feel the soot sticking to my wet body. My feeling was confirmed when I stepped out of the fireplace at home. Soot had clung to me like feathers and superglue!

I took my cloak off and hung it over a chair. I felt so anxious. It had been nearly two weeks. I stared at a pile of Daily Prophets, all celebrating the Dark Lord's downfall. I reached for one. Some stuff about the Boy-Who-Lived. They were all suspecting the Potters had done something but no one knew what. A few reporters had tried to hunt me down and to give them an interview, tell them where the others were. All I could say was that I didn't know. I had to find out what really happened. I did a spell that made me clean and dry. I held my wand tightly and apparated to Remus and Jenny's house. It was completely empty. I walked into the kitchen, there was a cup of tea that was cold, the house was cold. I looked around anxiously. So Remus and Jenny had gone, did that mean Bo had gone as well? It probably did.

I did something that was very dangerous and apparated to Sirius' flat. Again, no one there. Three vials of Wolfsbane potion lay forgotten and stale on the table, probably on their way to Remus' house. I looked around all the rooms and found no one only an empty cold house. I apparated again to April's house. There were people here. I could hear them. The house was warm. A woman walked out of the living room. April's mum.

"Who are you?" She asked, her wand out.

"Peter Pettigrew." I said. "Is April here?"

"What do you want with April?" She asked.

"I just want to see if she's ok." I said, hoping that the woman would believe me. She looked at me suspiciously.

"You're one of James Potter's friends aren't you?" She asked. I nodded slowly. "If you were any friend you'd be over with James and Lily helping them out. After what they've been through." She said with distaste. Lily and James were alive. That meant they were at Godric's hollow.

"Thank you" I said gratefully. I disapparated and apparated to Godric's hollow. I had been expecting a nice warm house with all the lights on, all the fireplaces glowing but no. I stood outside thinking of the house and it appeared in the field. The house was dark, empty. All the windows had been shattered and the curtains were billowing out of them. The door was splintered and broken. I frowned and went into the house to look around. I reached Harry's room and saw everything in there broken. Toys and books everywhere, the shelves broken, the cot in pieces. In the middle of the floor was a cloak that I recognised. I was free from Him. The Dark Lord was gone but where had all my friends gone? I apparated back home. My stomach doing back flips. I knew something bad was happening. It seemed that everyone knew what was going on other than me, which meant that they all knew it was me that had handed them to the Dark Lord.

I slowly got dressed and went into a restless sleep. I kept dreaming of all the things that could happen to me. What they might do. I woke up early as an owl tapped on the window. I opened my tired and heavy eyes. It was the daily Prophet owl. I got up sluggishy and opened the window. It was still pouring with rain and it was quite dark for...what time was it? Ten in the morning! It was barely lighter then it had been the previous night. I gave the owl it's pay and took the newspaper. Nothing interesting, the Lestranges had been caught. The Longbottoms had gone crazy and were in St. Mungos. I bit my lip and threw the paper onto my bed. I needed a drink! I changed again and tucked my wand in my robes. I apparated to Diagon Alley and stood in the pouring rain. It was deserted, quieter then I thought it should be. I was about to head to the bar I'd been t the previous night when I heard someone behind me.

"Hello Peter." Said a woman. Her voice hit me like an axe. I turned and saw the red haired woman I'd learnt to hate with all my heart. She had a bandage around one arm and was walking with a limp. "You look surprised to see me." She said with a slight pout.

"Lily, I wasn't expecting to see you." I said nervously.

"Were you expecting me to be dead by any chance?" She asked, she took a step closer to me. I took an anxious step back and I hit something soft, a person. I turned and saw Sirius standing behind me with his wand out.

"Hello Peter" He said with a smile. I started in alarm and turned around again. Lily was shaking, a few sparks flying out of the end of her wand. I looked to my left and saw Jenny appearing from the darkness and the shadows. James and Remus appeared on the other side. It was like a horror film those Muggles watch. It was a nightmare. They were all here except April.

"Where's April?" I asked nervously.

"Oh, so you show concern now for a pureblood do you?" Jenny asked. "We thought you were above that Peter, being friends with us. You obviously don't value friendship as much as the rest of us do." I looked at her terrified. I had the most powerful witches and wizards I knew of surrounding me.

"You know any one of us would have died for you Peter." James said, "We trusted you with everything we owned, including our lives." Oh shit, oh shit. Why does it have to be raining? As if the gods wanted me to shit myself more then I already was a flash of lightning lit up the street for a moment. I got the impression that I was surrounded, it looked as if there were people all around me. I shrieked in terror.

"Oh, now you're scared?" Remus asked. I couldn't take it anymore. I turned to run. I pushed past Sirius and down the street. I had run about ten meters when I felt some sharp teeth clamping around my leg and pulling it from under me. I fell to the floor. My head cracked against the floor. I turned to see a large black dog snarling over me.

"Padfoot please." I said. My voice unnaturally high. I didn't even recognise it. Padfoot clamped his teeth around my shoulder and dragged me back to the others. "No!" Padfoot let go of me and I felt myself being pulled to my feet. Lily and Jenny had their wands pointing at me and were using magic to stand me up. It wasn't illegal unfortunately but they looked as though they would have killed me.

"Peter Pettigrew, you are under arrest for being a follower of the Dark Lord Voldemort. You are under arrest for being an illegal Animagus" James said as if reading an order of arrest.

"Nice try James, I know you're not working." I said with a nervous laugh. "You're an illegal Animagus as well, you and Sirius!"

"Oh, no. We've got our nice little shiny certificates saying we're legal." Sirius said, "Took a while, that's why it's taken about two weeks to get revenge."

"That and because Lily only woke up a few days ago." Remus said.

"Oh yes, we need to get you back for that as well." James said. He took a step forward and punched me right in the face. My head snapped back as I felt his fist collide with my nose. There was a crack and I felt my nose breaking. "Because of you my son and wife nearly died!" He shouted at me. "I'll kill you one day."

"Nice joke." I said nervously.

"You think he's joking?" Lily asked, stepping closer to me. For a mudblood she was fucking scary when she was angry. "April." She said, cocking her head to the side. April appeared from the dark and gave me a slight wave but I knew it wasn't a friendly one.

"Aurors, arrest him." April said casually. I was surrounded by aurors. It was a trap. I couldn't move because of whatever Lily and Jenny had done to me. Of all the people in the world, I had to pick Lily, Jenny and James as my worst enemies! The cleverest pupils that had walked the halls of Hogwarts in recent times! I turned to look at Lily, I don't know why her. She took in a sharp breath, her piercing green eyes went straight through me, like she could see the depths of my soul. I flinched and soon found myself in the auror headquarters then in an empty holding cell with an antiapparition charm and without my wand. I sat on the floor. Look at the bright side, at least I'll get to see Kiana again.
