Hey everyone,
So with this preview I want to actually prove the same thing I try to prove with my Rituals and Reading Story; that I can even write characters I dislike/hate in a good light. In that story, the villain is Pettigrew and Albus is actually good – and in this preview those two dirtbags will be switching in their roles.
Have fun,

Darkness Within The Light

24th of June 1995
Graveyard, Upper Hangleton
Peter Pettigrew's POV

"Your arm, Wormtail." I hear the monster that I was tricked into serving order me, yet this is something I have been dying for since that horrid night, almost fourteen years ago and while I hate the fact that I am bleeding from one arm, do I greedily move my other arm, the one with that blasted mark, towards the monster.
Lord Voldemort smirks at me, as if proud to see me so subservient, yet I don't care as instead of that my eyes are on three things only; the wand of the murderer I am forced to serve slowly approaching my marked arm, Harry who is actually locked within the grasp of an Angel of Death and the cauldron that is still bubbling just to the side.
I then feel said wand touch the mark on my arm and while I know that it's supposed to hurt, do I only feel the wondrous feeling of my mind being cleared and a spell that has been controlling me ever since that horrible night being shattered into such tiny pieces, I doubt the caster can even sense it being broken, which is a personal relief.

I then impatiently wait for the monster to release my arm and the minute he does, I turn on my axis, grab the knife I have been using for this horrid ritual and while I hear the monster calling my name in shock, do I focus only on the task at hand; to finally make up for the horrible, heart-wrenching mistake I made years ago.
"I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to indeed. And now, I'm going to atone for my mistakes, one way or another." And with that do I bless the fact that, as Voldemort was reborn, I was able to lie the knife on a torn bit of cloth which made sure that the blood wouldn't drip off of the knife or get mixed with the cemetery dirty paths.
"Blood of the Heir, you shall revive your father! Blood of the Son, you will revive your Mother! Blood of the rival, you are to –!" But as I try to make up for my latest mistake, does a spurt of the potion actually squirt itself in my face, cutting off my last chant and instantly I feel fear overtaking me as I frantically think:
"Please! Oh please Merlin, don't let me have failed this! I need to atone for my horrible mistakes! Please, let them be able to come back! I never wanted them to die! Please don't let me have failed this!" And then something happens that makes me tense in utter fear at first, only to sigh in blessed relief shortly after.

At first the cauldron vanishes in a huge cloud of mist and the sound of metal melting under intense heat, yet from the mist I see two forms coming out of a foetus position and standing up. At this I want to throw myself at their feet crying in utter relief of seeing them again, but then I get reminded of where I am:
"WORMTAIL, YOU FILTHY LITTLE TRAITOR! CRUCIO!" And while I have no doubt that the curse is meant for me, do I still jump in front of my friends, which actually makes the curse hit me and while I hate the idea that the Torture Curse was meant for either of my friends, do I keep standing in extreme strain under the painful curse.
"HOW! HOW CAN YOU WITHSTAND THAT?" I hear Voldemort scream and while my arm trembles and shakes so badly I need to keep regripping my wand, do I snarl: "My mind has been under duress from events and their effects that are way worse than you could ever cause me. As proven when you marked me."

And just like I expected does this make Voldemort falter in his cursing, causing for the horrible spell to be lifted, yet while my body almost feels as if it is about to fail my control yet again, do I strengthen my focus and aim my wand at where Harry and the other poor soul are and shout: "Reducto! Accio Hogwarts Champions!"
And the first curse breaks the hold the statue has on Harry while the second summons both him and the dead body towards me and while I focus on him coming my way, do I twist my other, still bleeding arm behind my back, a quick glance at my friends making Lily and James Potter grip it, luckily at the elbow and higher up.
Then the two bodies hit us and before Voldemort can do more than aim his wand, do I say: "That's right, it was never you that marked me. Think about that, you Light Lord." And while I have no doubt that I just signed my own death contract, do I not care for this as I just focus on the one place most important to me and twist my form.

And the last thing I see before I, my two friends and these two other poor souls experience the feeling of being sucked through a tube, is Voldemort's shocked face being witnessed by several Death Eaters actually appearing around the man. Then the feeling vanishes and we arrive in a room that has all of the important personal value to me.
Boarded up windows, a four-poster bed that has a single bedpost broken, a piano that has dust marks of something that crawled underneath it twice, a sofa that has a marking on it of a single person having moved around on it and a broken mirror hanging above a wooden fireplace that has broken bits of furniture within it.

"The – the – why did you take us to the shack?" James then asks me, yet then Harry asks: "That doesn't matter. Why did you revive my parents? I thought you served Voldemort!" Yet I shake my head and say: "No, I was forced – or better said, tricked – into serving the Dark Lord." And I make sure to put emphasis at the end.
Instantly I see that Harry's experience with solving mysteries rears its head within the boy and he tentatively asks: "You – don't mean Voldemort, do you? That's why you called Voldemort the Light Lord, didn't you? You're trying to let both him and me know of whoever this – is this the same Dark Lord as you mentioned last time?"
And while I feel immensely proud of the kid's skills, do I then sigh as I look at the body that has fallen upon our arrival and I whisper: "Why? Why wouldn't the ritual allow me to make up for this order I didn't want to comply with? Why didn't it allow me to revive him?" And with that do we all look at the poor lad in pain.

Yet then something shocks me into screaming into terrified fear as suddenly the double doors to the room burst open and a huge bearlike black dog jumps through them, grabs me by my already bleeding arm and pulls me along as it lands on the other side of the room before the beast changes and a furious Sirius Black shouts:
"You should have never left your master's protective enchantments, you little bastard! This time – this time, James and Lily can go to Hell! I am not holding –!" But then something happens that even I didn't expect as a huge stag rushes at us and pushes Sirius back before coming to stand between us, protecting me from my attacker.
Sirius looks absolutely mad with shock at seeing the being and then it changes into our beloved friend as he asks: "Peter, you say there is a Dark Lord worse than Voldemort that tricked you into betraying us? How?" And while I happily accept the fact that he still doubts my words, do I look from him to Sirius as I ask:

"Do you remember the 4th of July 1981?" And the man answers: "Yes, that is when we first decided to go under the Fidelius Charm in the first place. Why?" And while I really want to just be honest with him, do I know that won't do me any good and so I ask: "And who came up with the idea that I should be Secret Keeper?"
And while Sirius glares at me, while Harry has the same curious gaze on me as when he is trying to figure out some kind of mystery like the Chamber and the Third Floor Corridor, do Lily and James look at me in confusion as James says: "Dumbledore, after Sirius claimed that he couldn't be both Godfather and Secret Keeper."
And while I nod, does Lily then notice the whole reason I asked her husband this as Sirius' wand – how he got that I really don't get or care – drops from his shocked hand and Harry's eyes are just as wide as he asks: "Wait, it – it – it was never Sirius who came up with the idea of the switch?" And I shake my head.

Hey everyone,
WOW! Who would have guessed that one? Dumbledore was the one to suggest Peter to be Secret Keeper, there was never any thoughts on switching Secret Keepers and Pettigrew never wanted to betray his friend, yet some mystery Dark Lord tricked him into this betrayal as well as has been controlling him for years.
Now, I don't think I need to even ask you to guess who this "Mystery" Dark Lord is as I already spoiled that in the top AN, however I will make one statement that will probably piss off one of my most favorite readers: This story WILL have Harry changing into a Girl! Yes, I am hoping to create another Girl!Harry story.
