James and Lily came out of the Pensieve.
"You, uh better take it back," said Lily.
"Later, I…uh," said James.
"I'm tired, we should get some sleep," said Lily going up the stairs.
James followed Lily upstairs still in a daze and found that she was already asleep, it looked like she hadn't slept properly in weeks. He lay down beside her, but he couldn't sleep.
A few hours later, James got up. He had been going through everything in his mind, and he knew what he had to do. He left Lily, who was still asleep and went downstairs. He sent a letter to Sirius came over as soon as he got the letter.
"What is it? The note said to come over right away. Is everything alright? It's not the baby is it?" asked Sirius who was now officially panicking.
"The baby is fine"
"Where's Lily?"
"She's asleep upstairs"
"So what am I doing here?"
"She was right…."
"Who"
"Lily she…"
"About what?"
"Will you stop interrupting?"
"Sorry, continue"
"Do you remember the night she was attacked, she told me she thought she saw Peter?"
"Yeah, but we told her there is no way Peter would be involved"
"He is," said James seriously.
"What? No, you can't be serious"
"I am. Last night… well early this morning…"
"Prongs it's 8:30am it's still early"
"Earlier. She asked me to do something for her. She wanted me to take Peter pensieve…"
"What? Why?"
"She said she wanted to be sure it either was or wasn't him. We both know that Peter puts all his memories he doesn't want everyone to know about in there. At first I just thought it was hormonal ramblings, but she started to get really worked up, so I thought, why not, Peter will never know I'll take it and put it back before he notices and if he has nothing to hide it won't matter but it least it would calm Lily down."
"So… you took it"
"Yeah and she was right. Peter is a deatheater and he tried to kill my wife and baby"
"Prongs, this can't be right, he wouldn't hurt people certainly not Lily"
"He wasn't the one firing the curses, but he stood there and watched as Malfoy hit a killing curse off her"
"A killing curse? That's not possible"
"I know but it happened, he did it, the green light came but something happened I didn't get a good look but something weird went on and she wasn't killed thank god."
"Shit, fuck I mean whoa. What?"
"Yeah do that for another 4 hours and you'll pretty much be where I am now"
"I just… We never even suspected, this is unbelievable."
"I saw it with my own eyes"
"Oh I know you're not lying but still…"
"That's not all"
"There's more?"
"He put me under the Imperial curse, the day Lily left"
"Are you serious? Or is this just a way to…"
"I saw it, so did Lily"
"Oh so you think…"
"I don't know"
"So what are we going to do?"
"I think we should pay Wormtail a little visit,"
"Okay," said Sirius who was still in shock.
AN HOUR LATER
James apparated into the room Lily was sleeping in. She was still asleep. He and Sirius had just had it out with Peter, he had confessed to everything, with a little gentle persuasion. Now he was down at the Ministry with Sirius about to be charged.
"We got him, he won't hurt you again," James whispered to Lily then he kissed the top of her head.
Lily's eyes started to flutter as she woke up.
"James," she mumbled.
"It's alright I'm here,"
Then at the same time they both blurted out "I'm Sorry"
"What are you sorry for?" asked Lily
"Plenty, what are you sorry for you didn't do anything?"
