If Time-Travel Changed Everything

Chapter Two

Betrayal

"What?"

Remus sat opposite Dumbledore in his office, after appealing to him to help him find a job, suitable for a werewolf. He had not expected to be offered a job at Hogwarts.

"A job, here, at Hogwarts?" he sputtered. "Teaching?"

"I think, Remus, you should take this job. You have remarkable skills and have considerable knowledge of the Dark Arts. I seem to recall you had the top marks in the subject all through your seven years here?"

Remus nodded. "Yes, that is correct."

"I want you to teach the students Defence."

Could I really do this? Could I really teach the students? "If you want me to try then...I will."

"Then you accept?" Dumbledore asked, quite pleased.

"Definitely, but what about my condition?"

"The same as when you were a student. It might be wise to let the students know of your condition, that way if anyone does stumble across you, they will know what they are getting into. It would be there fault if anything happened to them, so you would not be convicted of harming them, especially if they understood."

Remus sighed. "I'd have to think about this. I'm not sure if I should take this job."

The headmaster seemed to understand and allowed Remus to leave. "I would like an answer as soon as possible, though."

The werewolf nodded. He was in bad need of a job but could he really be a teacher? Could he really be trusted to pass on his knowledge? If only he had the council of James...

"Daddy," Twenty-two month old Harry Potter said, "Food!"

James smiled, as he ruffled his son's hair. "No, you had your breakfast thirty minutes ago."

"Thirty!" Harry shouted.

It had been seven months since the Fidelius Charm had been cast on Dumbledore and Sirius had gone into hiding in an effort to keep Voldemort on his track. James hadn't seen his friend since. They hadn't even sent letters for fear of them being tracked, but with no news it meant Sirius was safe.

"Dada!"

Harry was demanding his attention and James grinned at his son, lifting him out of his baby-chair, and throwing him up into the air. Harry squealed in delight. James was glad that he had been given the chance to see his son grow - he couldn't understand why someone would take it away from him.

"Sirius! Hey, how are you mate? I haven't seen you in ages!" Peter Pettigrew said as he stepped out of the alleyway where he had been hiding to intercept his friend who he had been tracking for a long time.

Sirius Black frowned. "How did you find me?" He had been hiding in a small village in the mountains of Scotland for the past month. He moved every month to keep potential Death Eaters away from locating him. How had Peter known where he was? He had never even told Dumbledore where he was.

He was quite suspicious of how Peter had found him.

"It was quite easy to find you," Peter said laughing, "I mean, being an Animagus and all, I could just smell you."

Sirius raised his eyebrows, hardly daring to believe. "You tracked me to come and talk to me?"

"Yeah?" Peter grinned.

"Well, I'd better be going back home." Sirius mentioned, turning swiftly away. He felt a bit afraid.

"Can I come with you?"

"No, you'd better not," Sirius hesitated, "Just in case."

Peter nodded. "Okay."

Sirius turned a corner and then bolted for it. He had to get away quickly. If Peter was a Death Eater then he didn't have much time...

Peter knelt before his lord, bowing in honour. He had succeeded in his mission - the mission that had been set months ago. "I have news for you, my lord."

"You have found him?"

"I have. Sirius Black is hiding in a small town in Scotland called Crief."

"You have done well Wormtail." Voldemort congratulated. "I have another mission for you."

"I live to serve master." mumbled Peter.

"You are to lead my faithful servants to this town. Bring Black to me, alive."

Peter nodded, accepting the mission, but inside he was trembling. He didn't want to betray his friends but he had no choice. What could he do?

He packed quickly as soon as he returned to his flat. Frantic, Sirius piled clothes into a back-pack, grabbed a bottle of water and some apples, stuffed them into his pack, grabbed the keys to the flat and walked to the front door.

Pulling it open he found a wand pointing in his face.

It was Peter and behind him stood Death Eaters, all armed.

Peter had betrayed him.

He leapt aside as Peter cast the stunning spell at him. Grabbing his own wand, Sirius prepared to fight. He even mentally prepared himself to kill Peter. But he had to escape and that was more important.

To be continued....

Okay, I know it is an evil cliffy but I thought it would be a good place to end it.

Review? I'll type faster! Okay I'm resorting to bribery now....

Review Responses:

Horseyfly91: Thank you for the comments. I meant to have the sequel up quicker but I didn't have time to write it, but now I've found time to work on it!

Saphire Starlet: I hope the cliffy isn't too much for you to handle....there will be lots of Sirius in the coming chapters...but I'm not telling what happens to him just yet....

Annasun: Okay....HP sause? I don't think that is related to Harry Potter, Anna. Really funny though. I always think that. See you soon!

Hanyou Witch 911: Sorry it is so short but I was setting the scene. I'll try and make the chapters longer but it will depend on what it happening in each part though. The first few chapters are quite short but I promise you they will get longer...and don't worry I won't die and not update...at least I don't plan on dying so soon....

meganegreer21: Thank you for your review!

Zaxxon: You got that right...but who will he mark as his equal...it might not be who you think...hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Charmedsisters: You'll have to carry on reading to see what Voldemort decides to do. At the moment (as by this chapter) he's still focused on the Potter's.
