First Day as a Gryffindor pt. 2
"Hermione, is that you?" Ron guessed looking at Mione.
"Yes, its me but my name is now Lillian." Lillian smilied at me.
"You look just like your sister if that's alright to say? Only Lillian, you don't acquire the same pug face as her. Your beautiful compared to her." I stated smiling back at her.
"Sir, why did you need Ron's rat?" Harry asked Professor Dumbledore.
"Because I assume it is an animagus, and the person in charge of the animagi being Peter Pettigrew." Professor Dumbledore answered with a twinkle in his eye.
"Who's Peter Pettigrew?" Harry asked him.
"Well it all started out with Sirius Black, after your parents were murdered Harry he went after Peter declaring that he gave them out to Lord Voldemort and in the end Pettigrew did a curse that blew up the whole street, cut off a finger making it think Sirius killed him and transfigured into a rat. Is how I assume everything went down. Peter Pettigrew was your parents Secret Keeper." Professor Dumbledore stated as two aurors arrived in the room.
"And this has to deal with us how?" I asked.
"Well, since Sirius was sent to Azkaban without a trial thanks to Fudge and if I prove that Pettigrew is still alive then maybe I could find you a home Draco and Harry a better home than his Aunt and Uncle's." Professor Dumbledore said smirking.
"Okay, makes sense." Harry said quietly, I nodded with him.
"Okay, now boys on the count of three, One... Two... Three!" Professor Dumbledore stated before they did a spell to make Pettigrew human again.
"Where am I? Ohhh, Professor Dumbledore what a wonderful sight to see you." Pettigrew said.
"No, Pettigrew, you sold Lily and James to Voldemort that night didn't you?" Professor Dumbledore asked.
"I didn't mean to! What could I have done? The Dark Lord... you have no idea ... he has weapons you can't imagine ... I was scared, I was never brave like you and Remus and James. I never meant it to happen ...He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named forced me ... He - he was taking over everywhere! Wh - what was there to be gained by refusing him? You don't understand! He would have killed me" Pettigrew said to Dumbledore.
"I would have rather died than betrayed their trust." Professor Dumbeldore stated as the Aurors took away Pettigrew.
"Now, what?" Harry asked.
"I'll go to Fudge in the morning and you four continue on to class." Professor Dumbledore said with a twinkle.
