Remember – Chapter Two - Remus

Summary: I've decided that this will be a series of chapters, or maybe just these two, of people "talking" to Wormtail.

Disclaimer: Don't own these people. BWAH.

You didn't see it happen, Wormtail. You will never have to be haunted with the memories of Sirius falling into the veil, all laughter fading from his face and Bellatrix Lestrange's laughing behind, ringing out above all other sounds.

You will never have to remember what it was like to feel Harry struggling within your grasp and, for just a moment, wonder why you weren't doing as he was.

You will never have to remember.

And if you did, Wormtail? If you had been there, Wormtail? Would you have run after Sirius yourself; redeemed yourself even after what you've done?

Should I just forget you, Wormtail? Should I just look upon you as just another Death Eater? I cannot decide who you are to be, Wormtail. I can't remember for you.

Do you remember who you used to be, Wormtail?

You were not this.

And that is what I remember.
