Sirius' Letter
"M-Ma-Mas-Master.. Sirius B-Black has sug-gested to Jame-s and L-ily Po-tte-r that I b-b-be their Secre-Secret K-K-Keeper," a young, twenty year old Peter Pettigrew said to his Master, Lord Voldemort.
Peter's blue eyes were staring at the back of his Lord's head, trembling from head to toe. "Excellent.. We shall attack in exactly one week from today.." he said rubbing his hands together.
"Y-Yes Ma-aster.." Peter stuttered. "Foolish children, think that they can outsmart me? Ha!" he said clapping his hands together laughing a high pitched sound.
Peter jumped and shivered, "How did I get myself into this? I'm about to kill my friends.." he thought. "Where are they now? Tell me!" Voldemort said, still not facing Peter. "G-God-dric's H-H-h-hollow Yo-ur L-l-lordship.." he said still stuttering.
Voldemort let out another high-pitched cold, cruel laugh. Peter winced and shivered. He took two pudgy hands and rubbed it against his shoulders, it was so cold, yet the fire was burning only a couple of feet away from him.
"Soon Lily and James Potter will be dead! And so will their son, Harry Potter," Voldemort said, touching his wand. Peter's blue, watery eyes were on the verge of tears, but he held them back. "It's either me or them," he thought.
Meanwhile...
"Here comes the broomstick Harry! Open wide! Umm!" a twenty Lily Evans said as she fed her son, Harry Potter.
"It's getting late! Come on Harry, you have to finish this before it's your bedtime." she said to her slightly small son that was sitting on a highchair.
"Da!" Harry said clapping his hands together. "Da won't be home today.. Like yesterday.. And the day before that..." Lily said and sighed.
She looked out the window for any sign of her husband or danger. She married James Potter, although it was a huge risk to take. They were in danger, Voldemort, Tom Riddle, was out to get them. Why? She had no clue, Tom had always been such a nice kid in Hogwarts.
A tawny owl swooped in and landed on Harry's highchair table. Harry clapped his hands in amusement and happiness. "Ol! Ol!" he said pointing to the owl. "Yes, that's your father's owl." she said untying the letter from Olin's leg, Olin, the owl. "I guess Da's going to be late again today.. You haven't seen him for three weeks haven't you Harry?" she asked. Olin nipped Harry's ear affectionately and flew away, upstairs to Harry's room. "Be be!" he said trying to wave bye to Olin. "Yes, say be be to ol.. Now.. One more spoonful.. Come on Harry you can do it!" she said holding up a spoonful of mashed carrots.
Suddenly, without a warning James Potter burst through the door. "James! Oh, it's you! You scared me!" she said clutching her chest and picking up the spoon of baby food she dropped. "I thought the Ministry was keeping you in longer.. Or was Olin's note all wrong?" she asked James.
James slumped into a over stuffed chair and yawned. "No, they said I should take a rest.." he said rubbing the sleep from his hazel eyes. He reached a hand to ruffle up his hair until a voice in his head said "No need to do that anymore.. You're married to Lily now"
He smiled and walked over to Lily and kissed her on the cheek. "How's my little Seeker? Is he suppose to be eating that stuff?" he said smiling at his son.
"Course he is.. Can't you stay home at for once? I mean.. Harry barely even sees you!" Lily said her emerald tinted eyes giving a pleading look to James.
"I'll try to get a day off for the next two days.. It's living hell in the office.." he said running a hand across his forehead. "James! Not in front of Harry!" Lily scolded. "Ell! Ell!" baby Harry said laughing at his father.
"Let him learn.. He'll be using that word someday.. Say.. Did Sirius contact you yet?" he asked Lily. Lily rolled her eyes and shook her head. "He was suppose to three days ago.. You don't suppose.." he said his eyes widening in fear. Lily's eyes began to fill up with tears.
Life with James was so hectic. They were always moving, always being looked after, always in danger, always afraid that one of her friends might die. "Please let his owl come" she thought. As if their wishes had been answered Sirius' gray owl came fluttering in, dropping a letter and a package in front of Harry's highchair table.
"Coo! Coo!" Harry said trying to grad Sirius' owl, Cookie. Cookie hooted happily at Harry and flew up the stairs, joining Olin. "Ah, it seems to be from Sirius.. I was so worried.. Let me see what it says," he cleared his throat,
"Dear James, Lily and Harry,
How are things? It's all-boring here. Nothing suspicious. I guess Peter is doing a real good job as Secret Keeper eh? I knew my plan would work. I'm the smart one after all. How's Harry? Has Lily been feeding him that carrot crap again?" Lily scoffed, "Carrot crap my as-""Now Lily.. Not in front of Harry.." he said sticking his tongue out. "I still think you guys should've named him Sirius Junior.. Well.. I shouldn't be too nosy. Bit lonely here, all by myself.. Maybe I should've asked Crystal to marry Me.. Nah.. I'm a loner.. But still a Ladies' man," James stopped and murmured, "Who lied to him?" Lily laughed and punched James' in the arm playfully. "Well.. I have enclosed a package for Harry. I hope he likes it! Moony and I bought it. Wormtail wouldn't pitch in.. He's way to paranoid that one.. Well.. Good luck and stay safe.
You furry friend,
Padfoot."
