Chapter 3
When Peter came to give her her breakfast, he was horrified to see most of her cloths on the floor and Francheska curled up
in a ball naked. He noticed she had pushed herself as far into the corner as possible. He also noticed she'd been crying. He
put the tray down on the table and ran over to her. He put his cloak around her as she leaned on his chest and cried.
Peter didn't ask what had happened, he just knew he had to get her out of the Riddle House. 'But how?' soon curiosity got
the better of him.
'What happened?'
'H-h-he r-rapped m-m-me' she choked out.
Peter scowled and stiffened with anger. He calmed himself.
'What did he look like?'
'B-blonde h-hair and g-Grey eyes.'
Peter stood up abruptly and threw the vase on the bedside table across the room. He walked around collecting her cloths
and gave them to her along with a calming potion.
'Put these back on for now, you'll get some others soon. Then eat. You'll need your strength.'
She trusted him for reason, unknown, even to her, but did as she was told. He turned around so she could change,
After she had eaten, he shrank her school bags and outt hem in his pocket. Them to her amasment, he took off his locket nad gave it to her.
'I thought you couldn't take it off?'
'When I joined the Death Eaters just after graduation, the spell was broken. It would no longer keep me safe, but it will you.
Now I'm going you change you into a matchbox, so I can sneak you out. I'll transfigure you back when we get to
Hogsmead. When we get there I'll have to become Wormtail. Ok?'
'Yeah. . . what about Mara?'
Peter sighed.
'She was killed'
'Let's go.'
She felt odd being a matchbox but she felt nothing but guilt over the death of her sister, her twin. She'd heard that twins knew
when the other was in danger. That had never happened to either of them.
They got out of the house with no problems, no questions asked. No one looked their way. No one really liked Peter as
everyone blamed him for Voldemorts first downfall. He apparated to Hogsmead and ran up the mountain to the cave Sirius
had hidden in during the Trio's 4th year. He turned her back and let her get used to being human again. He was glad he had
mastered human transfiguration over the years.
'Right when you get into Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall will meet you. She always knows when a visitor turns up invited
or not. Ask to see Dumbledore. If she asks why, show her the locket. It was a sign to know if anyone tried to impersonate
us when Lily and James were alive.
When you see Dumbledore, give him this letter, it explains a lot of things. He'll send you to Madam Pomfrey, especially after
last night. I have to tell you now. . . I'm most likely going to be killed, you can guess why. You'll be happy here ok? Have
fun and enjoy yourself. Have fun for me.'
He added the last bit seeing the look on her face. Before she could respond, her school bags were on the floor beside her
and a rat was at her feet waiting.
'Well, let's go then.'
