A/N: Well, I've finally updated. Hope everyone has a wonderful holliday and a Happy New Year! Yay 05!
As Ginny, sat on the cold concrete floor surrounded by her new friends, she told them what little she could about what the future held.
"Bloody Hell! Something bit me!" Sirius roared as he jumped up; as if he'd been shot, and held his bleeding arm. All of a sudden, the wound started to heal up only to leave a barely visible scar. Looking at his arm, Sirius wasn't concerned with his newly healed cut. His eyes were focused on the fat rat with dark brown eyes and a pink nose. Its fur was ruffled up as if it had been stuffed in a sock and its head was twitching back and forth. As the rat fell from his arm with little friction, its wormy looking tail landed first, followed by the rest of its body.
As everyone looked from Sirius to the rat, no one paid much attention to it until Ginny spoke up. "Isn't that Scabb- err... Peter?"
"What?"
"Peter, isn't that Peter?"
The group of friends looked again, more carefully this time, at the rat. As James surveyed it with his head pressed the rats nose, James came to a conclusion. "Yup, that's Wormtail alright."
Ginny sighed an angry sigh. She hated Peter and everything that he stood for, yet she could do nothing about him being there. "Come on Pettigrew," she said in a soft bored voice.
Hearing her voice, the rat looked up at her with his chocolate brown eyes and scrunched up his nose. As he looked at her, he gave a look of disapproval and hatred. Then, without a word, or in his case a squeak of caution, he transformed back into his normal, plump, blonde haired, blue eyed, freckled little boy. Yes, Peter was little, and not just in size but in voice. "What are you staring at?" his voice barely audible.
Not waiting for Ginny to reply to such a comment, Remus spoke up. "Peter, What in the world are you doing here?"
Before anyone could speak, they heard an all too familiar voice from behind them. Abaddon. "There you are you stupid boy! I have been waiting for you for the past two days!" Holding out his hand, Abaddon pull Peter through the bars as if he were a piece of paper. Then, he quickly snapped his fingers and erased everyone's memory of his and Peter's presence, or so he thought.
As James sat up, in a shock, he realized that everyone had a bizarre looking grin on his or her face. "You guys!" he said. When everyone looked at him, he asked, "What the hell just happened?"
"Blue?" Ginny asked as she gave him a sheepish grin.
"No, Orange!" Remus competed.
"You guys? Are all of you feeling okay?" James asked as he tried to sort out what happened in his head. 'Peter bit Sirius, Abaddon too Peter, Abaddon, erased everyone's memory except mineā¦' The he understood. The new power Ginny had talked about. This was his power. His memory.
Looking around, his eyes fell on Remus who had just recently turned into his wolf form and was chasing the girls around. "Go Moony!" Sirius cried with laugher in his voice and a sparkle in his eye.
Jumping up from where he sat, James ran over to Remus and lunged at him, but he missed. "Sirius! Help me catch Remus!"
Sirius laughed at him. "No way Prongs, this is too much fun!" As he laughed, he fell over on his back and started to cry.
'Great.' James thought to himself. 'Just great.' Again, James jumped onto Remus and this time he finally got him. "Come on Moony, calm down!"
Before Remus could react, both boys heard a blood-curling scream. Spinning around James came face to face with Lily who's mouth was wide open. As the scream came to an end and no more sound was coming out of her mouth, James realized that Lily was not breathing. Rushing over to her, James smacked her upside the head. "What'd you do that for?" Lily asked slightly out of breath.
"You weren't breathing,"
"What just happened?" Lily asked in astonishment.
Following Lily's gaze, James saw a small dent in the wall, which was burnt to a crisp. As smoke poured from it's mouth, Lily was about to let out another scream, but James covered her mouth. "I'll explain everything to you. Just come over here." Not wanting to be left out, the others followed him over to the back corner.
As James explained their predicament everyone listened intently to his story. "So, what you're telling me, is that I have pyrokinesis?" Lily asked.
"Yes, Lil, that's exactly what I'm saying." As everyone sat in silence, James felt like he was picking straws. "Does anyone else remember this?"
Ginny nodded. "I think I remember. I'm suppose to be a Princess, right?"
"Correct!" James said emphasizing each syllable.
As the group of friends were refreshing their memory, in the dark left hand corner, behind the old rotten table with the candles on it, there was a small brown rat. Scrunching up his nose, his eyes seemed to roll as if he were a human. As he saw and heard what he had to, he scurried away from under the table into a nearby hole in the wall just north of where he sat.
