Peter knelt in front of his master a couple days after the charm was placed on Lily and James' house. "They have made me their secret-keeper My Lord."

"They didn't chose Black?" asked Voldemort.

"No sir," said Peter.

"And I thought I had the pleasure of torturing Black until he told and then kill him," laughed Voldemort.

"If he was he wouldn't have told you My Lord," said Peter. "He would die before betraying them."

"And what about you?" asked Voldemort. "You've already betrayed them once about a year ago."

"No one will get in my way to serve you My Lord. No one," said Peter.

Voldemort leaned back in his chair, pleased. "A very wise choice. Now tell me, where are they hiding?"

"Number 15 Godric's Hollow," said Peter.

"Very good. I'll attack tomorrow night," laughed Voldemort. "You may leave." Once again, Peter bowed himself out of the room.
