Chapter twenty-four: Best Be Off, Must Go Turn Into a Werewolf
Andrew, still on the ground frowned,
"And who would that be?"
Lemo was screaming hysterically,
"IT'S SERIOUS KILLER!"
Understanding dawned on Andrew's face as Keller frowned,
"Why must everyone twist my name around like that!"
Lemo shrugged,
"Fine. IT'S SIRIUS KELLER!"
Keller nodded in approval,
"Anyway as I was saying...You lot know someone I wanted dead...So can I have him and I'll leave you alone..."
Lemo dived in slow motion on top of Barry,
"NO! YOUR NOT TAKING HIM!"
For a moment their was an awkward silence. Which was broken by Andy sneezing.
"Well...Moving on..." Came Barry's muffled reply.
Keller scratched his head,
"Hey, I don't know what you're on you disturbed little girl-" Lemo growled, "But it's not Barry I want to kill."
There was a chorus of, "It's not!"s
Keller stared and removed his foot from Andrew's back, who stood up
"No, it's not. I'm looking for a Basterd/traitor-posing-as-a-rat."
"Oh. Okay then. I guess you don't need us..." Lemo pulled herself off Barry, then proceed to check his injuries.
Keller stood in the doorway,
"No, you have the rat I want."
Lemo frowned,
"No..."
"Yes..."
"No..."
"Yes..."
"No..."
"Yes..."
"No..."
"Yes..."
"No..."
"Yes..."
"No..."
"Okay, stop it!" Barry yelled in frustration, he pulled him self off the bed grimacing the whole way, "Explain, Keller. So you don't want to kill me? You just want to kill a rat...?"
Keller nodded,
"Yea, that's pretty much it."
"Why?" Andrew asked.
"Because, that rat is really Peter Pedigrew. Old school friend who betrayed your parents, Barry to Voldemort. Then faked his own death so that I went to jail."
Barry, Andrew and Andy gasped as Lemo threw the rat onto the floor and proceed to stamp on it, screaming,
"DIE YOU EVIL BEAST OF HELL!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I want to kill him!" Keller yelled as he dived for the rat.
"He betrayed my parents!" Barry screamed and also dived for the rat. The rat squealed and tried to dodge all the people coming for it.
"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" Remus Loopy entered the room, "What the bloody hell are you kids doing!"
Keller, Barry and Lemo stood up and stepped back, Keller clutching the rat,
"It's Peter, Remus!" He grinned looking slightly mad.
Remus raised an eyebrow,
"Sirius,
Azkaban wasn't good to you was it?" Remus shook his head then
jumped back, pulling out his wand, "Wait! Sirius! I will not let
you kill Barry!"
Keller frowned,
"And I'd do that because...? I mean Remus...He's my godson..."
"You betrayed you best friend!" Remus accused.
"Nah, mate it was Peter."
"Yea...Blame everything on Peter. He's dead now Sirius, who you going to blame stuff on now?
"I'm Sirius-"
"I know."
"No I'm serious-"
"I know," Remus interrupted again.
"Seriously, Remus. Peter's here."
"No
he's not."
Barry, Andrew, Lemo and Andy began to creep for
the door...
"Remus!" Sirius held up the struggling rat, "He's right here!"
Remus raised a skeptical eyebrow, raised his wand,
"Hold him away from you..." Keller did as he was told. Remus held out his hand, "Stay here," he motioned to the attempting-to-escape-teens, he then muttered a charm and the room was filled with white light. Then suddenly before them, a twitching gross looking freak stood before them. It was Peter Pedigrew.
"Eww! He's all...gross looking..." Andy wrinkled her nose.
"I second that," Lemo said also wrinkling her nose.
Peter looked up at Sirius and Remus,
"Ahh! Sirius! Remus!" he tried to pretend he was innocent.
Remus looked at Barry, who nodded and chucked him his wand,
"Yea, do what you want..."
Peter's eyes widened in shock as Remus threw Barry's wand to Sirius,
"Wait outside children," Remus said smartly.
Barry, Andrew, Lemo and Andy all ran outside and hid around the corner. From inside the room they could hear Peter being smashed and bright lights filled the room and the hallway they stood in. They all exchanged looks of shock. There was then silence and Remus poked his head in,
"You can come in now."
They cautiously stepped inside, greeted by a very different scene they were expecting. Peter was in a pink dress and red stilletoes, clean shaven and bound and gagged.
"I thought you were going to kill him..." Andrew said what everyone was thinking.
"Why would we do that?" Sirius asked, "Then we couldn't prove that I was innocent now could we?"
Snape appeared in the room,
"Oh, I think it'll need more than that to prove you innoce-"
"Petrificus totalus!" Lemo and Andy screamed at the same time, wands raised at Snape. Snape's limbs snapped to his side, he then swayed dangerously before toppling over.
Everyone stared in shock at the two girls, Barry spoke first,
"What the fuck was that?"
Lemo shooked herself,
"Well...Whatever he was going to say was going to be bullshit..."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Can I kick him!" Sirius asked excited, he looked hopefully at Remus, "Please Remus! Please! Can I kick him!"
Remus looked as though he was going to given in, but his rational side took over,
"No, you can't Sirius."
Sirius looked disappointed,
"Fine," in an under tone he added, "Fun spoiler..."
Remus looked at his watch,
"Well best be off, must go turn into a werewolf..." He then trotted out of the room, all eyes staring after him.
Sirius looked at the students,
"I'm guessing from your surprised faces, you didn't know?" They all shook their heads. Sirius sighed, "Well don't tell anyone. Now we better be gone too...I'll carry Peter...We can leave Sevvy here, because I don't really want to touch him...And Barry I'm guessing you're okay to walk?"
Barry nodded,
"Yea, I'm okay-ish now..."
Sirius nodded,
"Yea, sorry about the whole attacking you thing..."
"No problem, I know you wanted the rat now, not me."
Sirius nodded,
"So we're cool?"
Barry nodded.
Sirius grinned and then grabbed Peter with one arm and slung him over his shoulder as though he was a sack of potatoes,
"We're off!"
