Behind the Veil:
Chapter Six: Truth
James and Lily were starring at me. I didn't know what to do; well at least they knew the whole story: how Peter betrayed us, how I got locked up in Azkaban, how their son lived a miserable live with his aunt and uncle and how he faced the Dark Lord so many times. I wanted to run, run, and go somewhere else. How could I still be their friend if I was in a way responsible of their death? How could they still trust me when I was imprisoned in Azkaban? They were both looking at me wordless.
And
then I realized that if James and Lily didn't trust me, if they
didn't believe me and thought I had betrayed them, they would never
be friends with me. I was all by myself. Remus wasn't here and
neither was Harry. I was lost. I wanted to scream, to yell at them to
ask them why didn't believe me but instead of doing that I simply
stood up and went out of the room closing the door behind me.
I
was in the street, just like Harry was when I saw him, two years ago
in Privet Drive.
It was very dark outside and I was beginning to
rain. I expected someone, James maybe, to come after to beg me for my
forgiveness but nobody came. Nobody cared that I was outside under
the rain shaking of cold.
Oh, Remus, if knew what life here is, what life behind the veil really is, I wonder if you'd still want to come. Would you believe if I'd tell you that James is not my friend anymore? Would you believe me if I told you that Prongs believes Wormtail? Would you think I am mad if I told you that nobody came after me tonight?
