CHAPTER 2.

Revelations.

When he woke up, for a moment he couldn't recognize his surroundings, it weren't the bare walls he had been staring at for the past… he didn't know… Long time anyway. He didn't really have time to take it in before his memories caught up with him. Apparently he had been under the curse way longer then the last time. He cried out.

Memory Sequence

He was sitting on a chair in a cosy living room drinking tea, Sirius entered the room bearing cookies. He was laughing at something, probably whatever Remus had said, who entered the room after him. Sirius threw himself in a chair, and Remus calmly sat down on the couch, next to Peter, who seemed to want to crawl away from him as far as possible, but that look went unnoticed by the two.

Remus began talking to Peter, who didn't even looked like he was listening, instead he was staring off into space. This went unnoticed by the two. Sirius himself seemed to be focused on something else as well, though it couldn't be the spot at the wall he was staring at. He had been that serious ever since he was entrusted to be the secret keeper of James and Lily, a task that had finally make him grow up. If not a little to rapidly.

After a few minutes Remus finally seemed to notice the lack of response of Peter. "Peter, are you alright?" it seemed to shake him out of his 'ponderings' "I'm fine," he said… a little to quickly, and Remus raises his eyebrows. His hands rose, "no, really, just have a lot on my mind you know?" as he rubbed his forehead.

A sigh came from Sirius, his first sign of live after sitting down on the chair. "Don't we all." He says morbidly. Remus looks from Peter to Sirius and shrugs, "alright, I give up, there's just no talking with you."

Sirius looked up and said: "Why don't we all go for a walk? It's beautiful weather, and I think it will do a good job cheering me up." Remus and Peter both stood up as in confirmation, and Sirius changed into his dog shape for safety precautions. Since it wasn't that far they decided to walk there instead of taking the risk of apparating.

It was indeed a nice day, though it was getting colder because of the autumn, the sun was shining, and there was hardly any wind. One of the last good days before the rains would start. Sirius was having fun running through the leaves, indeed loosing the depressing thoughts that had been occupying his mind a little before. Peter on the other hand, didn't seem to improve, he was still staring into nothing, while sitting on a bench in the middle of the park. "Peter?" Remus asked worriedly, as he looked up in response, he could see an owl coming in his direction. He looked bewildered. The owl landed, and Remus recognized it as one of the school owls. I wonder what that's about. He thought. Peter took the letter, and opened the seal. As he read through it, his eyebrows shot up. "Padfoot!" he yelled, "Come over here!"

Sirius came running over as soon as he heard him. He barked once, asking what was going on.

"Dumbledore says he wanted to speak with us." Peter said.

In his head Sirius thought: Already? That man really doesn't waste his time. But he didn't voice that thought, not wanting to alert Remus.

The three went home as quickly as they could, and after a hasted goodbye Sirius and Peter left. Leaving Remus to feel miserable for not being included in whatever was going on.

The duo arrived quickly in Dumbledore's office, a wild look came over Peter's face when he noticed Lily and James sitting down, waiting for him.

But that look was gone as soon as it had appeared. Luckily for him, no one seemed to have noticed. Dumbledore's chair turned around, and the man

had a look over his face that didn't bode well. Sirius had walked through the office and now stood behind Lily and James, the four of them were

staring at him and he started fidgeting. "Peter, we have something to tell you." James started, taking a shot. He looked at them for a second, and then turned his gaze downwards again. "You see, we, that is to say, Sirius and I came up with an idea." Peter looked up again, and this time his gaze lingered. "w-w-what kind of i-idea?" he stuttered.

"You see Peter," Dumbledore began, taking over from James, who looked at him gratefully. "You know about the Fidelius curse don't you?" Peter nodded in response. "You also knew about Sirius being secret keeper didn't you?" "yes" Peter muttered softly, he had found out by accident.

"We think it's a better idea if you were the keeper, it would be a lot less obvious." There, the bombshell was dropped.

Peters mouth fell open. "What?" he asked hurriedly. "Relax my boy, we shall give you time to think about it. It is a great responsibility after all.

We can't expect you to make the decision in a hurry." "Come back tomorrow, and give us your answer alright?" Dumbledore talked calmly, as if it was just a grade he was giving.

Peter looked shocked, (They probably hadn't expected it to be that easy, Peter thought ironically) He went to the fireplace, "I… I… I'll think about it, promise. I… I… need to go now, excuse me." And he fled through the floo. Leaving a pondering Dumbledore and a dumbfounded trio behind.

After that, there was a period of black he couldn't remember anything about

He could remember it all now, the entire conversation, the visit, the plan, and suddenly, the greatest fear he had ever had was washing over him, they were planning on making him the secret keeper! They COULDN"T, not HIM, not now. He felt honoured they trusted him enough with the task… but… The information would fall into HIS hands immediately!

He had to get out of there he thought, NOW!

He looked at his surroundings again, he was in a real room this time. Still… it was spare, with only a bed, a desk and an empty closet in it… yet, it was better then the empty walls of the cell he had been sleeping in before.

He started looking around, trying to find something he could get through. All he could see was a tiny hole, probably from a mice. Then a thought hit him, he felt so stupid he hadn't thought of it before. He could've gotten away in an instant. He shook his head, he really was slow in the uptake.

He immediately began to concentrate on himself in his rat form, and he felt the beginning of the transformation, suddenly he heard the door to the room open. He was startled, and quickly lifted his head to see if he was going to be dragged away again. But instead of bursting in like previously, this death eater silently opened the door, and looked in carefully.

Peter was now confused, this wasn't behaviour he had gotten used to. The Death eater lifted himself up fully and whispered; "Well now, hurry up a bit, we haven't got all day Pettigrew, I'm here to get you out."

Peter was shocked as he felt himself get up, and walk towards him, he recognised the voice from somewhere, he was certain he had heard it before. But he sounded so sincere, he couldn't help but walk.

"Who… who are you?" he whispered, and the death eater looked straight at him, or so it seemed, since he couldn't see anything behind the mask. The Death eater raised his hand and pulled off the mask. Peter recoiled, he couldn't believe his eyes! That man! It was…

A/N; And Yeah, I know my use of the Imperious curse is a little different then J.K. Rowling hers, but I made my own version of it…

Next chapter should be up not to long from now, I've gotten the idea for it all worked out (in my mind…)

Please review.
