Chapter 7 - In a cold, dark cell.
Harry was floating in a swirling world of grey fog. He looked around him.
Before he had always been carried through the fog, but now he wasn't moving at all.
There had to be a way out right?
He spotted a dark hole in the fog. Maybe that was the way out!
He ran - no, floated fast - towards it, gathering speed as his neared it. It was pulling him in!
With a small *pop!* Harry fell through the hole and smacked his head on the cold, hard ground.
"Ow!" he mumbled, rubbing the back of his head.
Harry sat up. He was back in that room with the bars. A lump of rags sat in one corner.
He wondered where the man had gone, he was pretty sure it was the same cell.
The bundle that Harry had taken to be a lump of rags, suddenly moved. Harry almost screamed!
He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that that was just the man, still crying.
He crawled over and put his hand on the man's shoulder "It's alright".
The man gave a start and looked up "Who's there!?" He shouted, looking wildly around him.
His face was thin and pale, and his eyes bloodshot from crying too much.
Harry gasped. Nobody had ever been able to hear him before!
The little man turned his gaze to the source of the noise, and squinted for a few seconds, before his little, black, watery eyes widened in shock.
"How'd you get in here?"
His eyes took Harry's hair, his eyes, and his glasses, before flicking up to his thin, lightning bolt scar.
"Harry?" he whispered hoarsely
Harry's mouth dropped open "How'd you know my name?"
The little man turned away. "You look exactly like James. but with your mothers eyes."
Harry knew he was crying again.
"Peter what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Peter turned over and faced Harry "Huh?"
Harry sighed "I don't know how I know your name. Can you tell me what's wrong?"
"You mean," he whispered, "you mean you don't know?"
Harry shook his head, confused.
Peter looked down at his hands. "Harry - I - do you know the reason your parents died?"
"Yes they were killed in a car crash, Aunt Petunia told me."
Peter shook his head. "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard" He looked into Harry's bright green eyes. "Lily and James were killed by the Dark Lord, an evil wizard who wanted to take over the world."
"So where'd I get my scar from then? Is he still alive?"
"No Harry, you got your scar because of him. He tried to kill you, but something happened, something that he didn't account for, and the curse rebounded and hit him, stripping his spirit away from his body."
Harry gaped in shock
"But you somehow survived, even though your parents had died by the same curse moments before, and all you have to show of it is that scar."
Harry shook his head, confused. "But what's all this got to do with you?" he asked.
"I'm in Azkaban because I turned myself in soon after they died. Harry it's my fault you have no parents. I'm sorry - I betrayed them to him."
Harry's was shocked. Suddenly, voices could be heard outside. A man in black robes wearing a white mask appeared, blasted the bars away, and stepped into the cell.
"So Pettigrew," he spat "we meet again"
Peter whimpered in fear.
"Ready to rejoin the Dark Lord's forces, Wormtail?"
Wormtail shook his head and backed further into the corner.
"No!" he said "No! I'd rather die!"
"Huh! Too bad for you!" the other man sneered "Imperio!"
Peter's eyes were suddenly blank, and he walked towards the man, as if in a trance, about the join the throng of prisoners outside.
Harry screamed after him "NO! PETER DON'T!"
Harry saw him turn his head, and something flicker in his eyes, before they went blank, and he turned away.
"PETER!" he screamed, as the picture in front of him began to fade. "NOOOOOO!"
Harry shot up in his bed in the hospital wing, still screaming, drenched with sweat. Remus came running over to him shouting "Harry! Harry, it's OK it was just a dream!"
"No!" sobbed Harry, "No! They took Peter! They made him, but he didn't wan't to go. No, leave Wormtail alone."
Harry sobbed into Remus' arms, and didn't see the look on Remus' face.
Peter? Wormatil??
