Chapter 5
Peter's trail led Sirius into the city. The sun was just beginning to rise when he finally spotted him. Sirius had thought for sure Peter would be in his rat form and was quite taken aback to see him walking down the sidewalk, like he hadn't done anything wrong. Sirius snuck up to him, getting as close to him as he thought he could without him noticing, before he changed back to a human.
It was perfect, Sirius had backed Peter into a corner and had him right where he wanted him. Sirius laughed, he didn't think catching Peter would be so easy, but then again it was Peter. He was so caught up in his own victory that he didn't notice that Peter was smiling, too. Before Sirius could act, Peter started screaming at the top of his lungs, drawing the attention of passersby.
"Lily and James, Sirius!" he yelled. "Lily and James! How could you?" Sirius was completely bewildered but didn't have time to think about Peter's words. Peter suddenly pointed his wand behind him and shot the most powerful curse Sirius had ever seen. Screams filled the air as at least 10 people were blown to pieces.
Sirius, still trying to comprehend what was going on, watched as Peter transformed into a rat and scurried down into a sewer drain. Finally understanding what Peter had done, Sirius ran for the drain, desperate to get a hold of Peter before he escaped. He never got there. Before he knew what had happened, about a dozen wizards were around him, grabbing him and dragging him away. He struggled and shouted, but they would not let him go. He finally went still as they carried him away to the Ministry of Magic.
