Ch 11 Pettigrew
Anger is one letter short of danger ~Unknown
When Snape and Lily had finally sorted everything out, Lily walked him back to the giant tree where it all happened. He still felt the tearing pain in his heart when he walked to the tree, but it was less pronounced now that he and Lily were okay.
"Sev," Lily said gently. "Why don't you start with Pettigrew? James, Sirius, and I will go for a walk."
Snape balled his hands into fists but nodded. He knew he would never forgive the little rat.
Pettigrew was wide eyed and trembling visibly as he watched Snape. Snape's demeanor was strong and fierce, a fire blade ready to stab those who angered him...and Pettigrew was on that list. Snape took long strides over to Pettigrew.
"Don't expect me to forgive you, rat," Snape spat in the man's face. "However, I do expect an apology. Start talking. Now."
"H-he-he threatened me! He was going to ki-kill me if I didn't t-tell him!" Pettigrew stuttered under the intense glare.
"You should have died," Snape said flatly, yet his black eyes were still burning. "You should have died, rat. Nobody wants you."
Pettigrew burst out crying. "I'm s-sorry! You know what the D-dark Lord is like! He threatened to kill me! Y-you would have d-done the same!"
Snape growled. "I would rather have died than betray Lily and Potter! You are a coward! A sewer rat! You deserve to live in the depths of filth! Get away from me before I do something Lily would regret," he snarled, grabbing him by the shoulders.
Fear flooded Pettigrew's eyes as he tore away from Snape's grip.
