It was easy to find Peter.
He wasn't particularly good at finding hiding places. Sirius was painfully reminded of countless of times at Hogwarts when Peter had gotten caught for something he, James and Remus had done because he couldn't get himself out of view fast enough, even with James's invisibility cloak.
"Quick! She's coming!"
The Marauders hurriedly forced themselves into James's invisibility cloak. His father had just sent it to him over the holidays and they had been using it to their advantage.
The silence enveloped them as Professor McGonagall strode past them with her chin in the air, and looking warily about her as James, Sirius and Remus noticed that Peter was missing.
"Where's Peter?" asked Remus.
Right on cue, McGonagall's voice boomed over to where they stood, huddled under the cloak.
"Mr Pettigrew!"
"I think McGonagall found him," whispered James, frozen to the spot.
"Yup," gulped Sirius.
"What exactly do you think you are doing out of bed at this hour!"
Peter's voice was so small, the Marauders could hardly hear it when he replied.
"Um, going to the bathroom?"
"Do you not have a bathroom in your dormitory?"
"Sirius clogged it."
Sirius frowned under the cloak and James and Remus stifled laughs and shouts of appreciation and surprise that Peter could lie so strait forwardly to a teacher with no hesitation.
"And the other toilets? Do they not work for you, Mr Pettigrew?"
"It smelled terrible, Professor. I wouldn't have been able to use them!"
Sirius was screaming, tears still falling down his face. "Wormtail! WORMTAIL!"
Peter was squeaking, running as fast as his little legs would carry him, weaving in and out of the Muggles crowding the street with the agility of a rat, Sirius close on his heels.
"Why are you running, Wormtail, if you've nothing to hide?" Sirius had his wand out, pointing in Peter's direction as he became cornered between Sirius and the Muggles, who had formed a barrier to watch the two lunatics who were screaming madly.
"You- you killed them, Sirius…" whispered Peter.
"What?" screamed Sirius. "HOW DARE YOU! HE WAS MY BROTHER! YOU KILLED MY BROTHER, YOU TRAITOR!" All friendliness gone from his face, Sirius resembled the madness which his mother so often exhibited within her eyes. Anger was gleaming in his eyes now, hate, frenzy a dangerous glint in his shining eyes.
"How c- could y- you?" Peter continued stuttering, backing up against the wall of Muggles, standing over a sewer drain. He was wildly fumbling for something in his robes, but Sirius didn't care.
Raising his wand, Sirius aimed for Peter's heart, but the rat was faster.
He had rehearsed this with his master.
Peter Pettigrew was ready.
A loud bang and an enormous cloud of smoke issued around Peter and it wasn't until Sirius had regained from a coughing fit that he noticed an empty crevasse in the middle of the road. Thirteen Muggle bodies lay sprawled around it in heaps, dead.
Sirius began laughing, the maniacal glint which he had inherited from his mother, appearing as he cackled madly. He pointed at the hole in the road, where water was accumulating, filled with compost. Rats were scurrying about in it. Sirius continued laughing in disbelief.
"You learned so much from us, Wormtail!" he screamed at the rats, still laughing like a mad man. "JAMES WOULD BE PROUD!"
Ministry officials were pouring from the sky, and two already had a hold of Sirius and were pulling him away, while ten or so were pushing the live Muggles away from the explosion, their minds working tirelessly on stories as to how to cover this up to the Muggle public.
A job worthy of the Department of Mysteries.
An Unspeakable would be called in for this.
A few more wizard and witch officials were clearing up the mess in the road, some of them repairing the road, some collecting fragments, be they human or pavement…
Sirius continued laughing all the way to Azkaban. "WORMTAIL!" he was screaming. "JAMES WOULD BE PROUD! WORMTAIL!"
