A wand hovered in front of Sirius' chest. His breathing shallow, as not to have his skin touch the wand. Sirius looked up at Peter. His eyes were narrow, and his lips drawn over his rat-like teeth in a menacing scowl. Sirius slowly put up his hands and put on a smile. Peter looked at him strangely.
"All right Wormtail, you caught me," said Sirius sarcastically. Peter jabbed his wand into Sirius' chest.
"Caught you at what Padfoot?" for some reason Peter seemed to be gloating. The man backed up in his chair, edging away from the direction of Peter's wand and stood up.
"Caught me at running away!" Sirius jolted of out the café and turned into his dog. Peter bolted out of his seat and ran to the door. He saw the dark figure of Sirius' form trotting down the street. Then he stopped and looked back, he let out a huge burp. The dog barked and ran the rest of the way down the street. Peter put his wand back into his jacket pocket. He stroked his face and opened the door.
"Sirius my friend, you can't run for long."
- Back at the Potters' house, Sirius meets an unexpected visitor –
Sirius rapped on the door to James' house. Lily came to the door, a smile upon her face.
"Ah Sirius, someone here is anxious to see you." Confused, Sirius made his way down to the living room where the sounds of joyful laughter filled the house. Turning the corner into the room Sirius saw a familiar face.
"Remus! Merlin's Beard! Why, how are you? Where did you come from? Why are you here?" cried Sirius happily.
Remus laughed and patted Sirius on the back. They sat down as Lily brought them some tea.
"Thank you darling Lily." Said Remus, Lily smiled and sat down next to James.
"Well Sirius, James owled me to tell me about your problem." Sirius shot James an evil look. He backed away and put up his hands.
"Sirius, I believe you about Peter. I was talking with Remus, and he isn't as convinced." Sirius nodded in slight aggravation.
"Remus, Remus, Remus, have you ever known me to lie?" said Sirius. James looked over to Remus and he looked back at James. They started to crack up laughing.
"Of course not Sirius, but it wasn't me that told Dumbledore every time we got in trouble it was Snapes' fault." Laughed Remus. Sirius looked insulted and lightly punched Remus in the arm.
"Well it was if he wasn't such a nosy, greasy, kid who wouldn't stay out of our business we wouldn't have had to put hexes on him. Even when he didn't do something, I could tell what he was up to and I just spared him the trouble and put a hex on him anyway." Lily looked a little uncomfortable, and James noticed it right away. Remus and Sirius were still laughing at their memories of torturing Snape when James tinkered lightly on his cup.
"What is this James? A tea party? Oh wait, we are drinking tea." Laughed Sirius. James nodded and Remus hit Sirius in the shoulder as a sign to smarten up.
"Okay, Sirius was sure that Peter is on the side with Voldemort, but how can we be sure?" asked James.
Sirius stood up and started to pace around.
"Peter threatened me at the diner tonight. He put his wand right up to my chest," he started rubbing the spot where he poked him. "He stabbed me with it!" he cried incredulously. Remus laughed. James kicked him under the table.
"Anyway, right as he turned his arm to point his wand at me I noticed the dark mark on his forearm!" James stood up.
"Are you positive Sirius? Because we don't have the time to go on a wild goose chase." Sirius nodded in agreement.
"Remus, Sirius go wait outside, we're going to go find him. I need to do something first." They nodded and got their cloaks on and went to the front door. James kneeled down in front of Lily.
"You know what I have to do," Lily smiled, her sparkling green eyes started to tear. "Don't worry; I'll make sure Sirius doesn't get us into any trouble. We won't get hurt." He leaned over and gave her a hug. Harry who was sleeping on a blanket on the floor the whole time finally woke up.
"Good night Harry, you're the man of the house take care of your mom." Harry smiled and James kissed him on the forehead.
"I love you."
a/n I know, I know I'm droning on about Peter, so I'm probably going to get some action on in the next chapter. I don't know whether I should have Voldemort find Lily and kill her, and have James come back to find that he is an only father. Or have Remus, James, and Sirius find Wormtail and kill him. Reviewers help me with some ideas for the next chapter.
