Choices

Choice fifty nine: Peter

My master relies on me more than he does the others because I'm close to the Potters, Longbottoms and even Dumbledore. I can get information that nobody else can for him because I'm part of that stupid Order to try and defeat him.

What I didn't know was that Dumbledore had told James about the prophecy involving his brat and that he had always spoken about a traitor. Luckily for me even James thinks I'm too weak to keep a secret from them, but I've kept Wormtail a secret from the world of course I could keep my spying a secret.

What I never expected though was his distrust in Remus. I suppose the fact that he's a werewolf does go against him but James has never held that against him before now. James along with Sirius came to me this afternoon with a proposal that will make me Voldemort's top Death Eater.

James is going into hiding with Lily and Harry and they need a secret keeper and of course Sirius is going to be that, but wait no he isn't. That is why they came to me, they think that having Sirius be the keeper is too obvious, and well it is, and that Remus will go to Voldemort and tell him and they'll track down Sirius.

I had to stop myself laughing but when they said they wanted me in his place I was stunned, I thought they'd go to Scarlett next not me but then they explained how nobody would expect it to be me because I'm the one that nobody notices in the group, the background man.

Of course I made a huge fuss about how I wouldn't be able to do it how I was too weak and wouldn't be able to keep the secret, but they told me they'd make sure everyone thought Sirius was the keeper and slowly I nodded in agreement.

They looked so happy and I could tell that they both thought they would be safe now, but boy are they wrong. I'll let them think that they are safe give them a week or so in hiding and then I shall tell my Lord where they are hiding and I will be rewarded beyond belief while everyone blames Sirius for it, how much better can it get?

It's not everyday that you are served such a prize without having to work for it, it's a brilliant thing for me and my choice in the matter is to agree and then sell the Potters out and get everything that I've ever wanted.

Okay so this is nearly at its end but you'll have to wait a week for more because I won't be here at all from tomorrow on. Sorry
