Choices

Choice sixty one: Peter

My friends were important when I was in school, they helped me in my lessons and included me in their lives, but we've grown up and as much as nobody wants to admit it we're not friends anymore we haven't been friends for a long time.

I mean I suppose they still class me as a friend but they don't know anything about me, they don't know what I really am and because of that they can't be my friends. Why do I keep saying this? Well because it makes my decision easier.

Tonight I truly did betray my friends, I got a piece of paper and wrote James' address on it and handed it to my Master. He smiled a wicked smile and told me I was to be rewarded after he had finished what he had to do.

Voldemort left and I went home I didn't think about what I had done I couldn't. It was only when I heard cheers that I realised something had gone wrong, that's when I discovered that my Lord had been defeated and that James and Lily were dead but Harry was still alive.

I did the only thing I could think of and ran, there was nothing else for it I had to go Sirius knew the truth he'd kill me if he caught up with me but I knew people would blame him after the show and dance he and James had put on about how Sirius was going to be keeper.

Of course it wasn't long before Sirius caught up with me, I was on a muggle street in London and he cornered me. I wasn't going without a fight though for years Sirius and James had told me I was stronger than I thought and so screaming the words how could you, it was Lily and James, I sent off a bad spell.

It blew up the street killing muggles as I went. Quickly I pulled out my pocket knife and chopped off my finger knowing that it was going to hurt. Then quickly I became Wormtail and went down into the sewers.

I know this isn't the hero's way but I'm not a hero I'm a weak man that always takes the easy way out. I won't go to Azkaban Sirius will and I shall wait fro the return of my Lord because he shall return, and until that day I shall spend my life as Wormtail and that is my final choice.
