Disclaimer- I don't Harry Potter!

Authors Note: Yeahh so I haven't written in a while, sorry! But tonight I had this sudden urge to write so I've written loads. I'll try and add two more chapters later today, but since I'll be busy most of the weekend, I might not get to it. But still review and I'll be very very happy!

Chapter Six

James, his fist clenched as he closely held his wand under his black robe. "How exactly do you know where Wormtail lives or at least where he is?" asked Remus.

"A friend from a friend from another friend "answered Sirius.

"No really, how?" asked Remus.

"Lily sent him a letter a little while back, and well yeah," responded James.

"Well what if he's with a bunch of Death Eaters? I don't want to die!" screeched Remus.

"Oh right, like they're all huddled in his little dump of a house. Plus he was probably to scared to ever go with You-Know-Who," answered James calmly.

"Er yeah okay. Why is he living in this muggle place anyway? I thought he couldn't stand muggles, I mean some of them are actually hot!" Sirius exclaimed as he brushed back his hair.

"Whatever that really doesn't matter, what does is seeing him. We need to know what he is up to," James added looking around the corner of the street.

"What makes you think he is up to something?" asked Remus.

"Nothing, really well I mean why doesn't he keep in touch? He hasn't sent a letter or came to visit since the wedding. It was Lily who had to write him and all he responded back was 'I'm fine and I hope all is well also'. It's a bit odd as he usually confided in Lily, " James suddenly said.

Everything went silent for a while as they walked down the cobblestone street, avoiding the looks muggles shot at them. They obviously didn't blend in with their robes. They passed shops and homes all in grey stone with gleaming green gardens before they finally reached what they believed to be Wormtail's house. "Well who wants to knock?" asked Remus. Nobody moved nor said anything. "Fine I'll do it, just have your wands in case you know something happens," Remus said with a very worried look on his face.

Loud bangs and noises came from inside the house as the three stood there. They all exchanged looks seconds before the oak door swung open and there stood Wormtail. He was much bigger than they had seen him last. His stringy lingered over his dirty muggle clothes. His fingernails were yellow and long. "Um hello, what are you doing here?" asked Wormtail.

"Why we came here to visit our dear pal Wormy!" Sirius said swinging an arm around him in disgust, hoping to ease the tension in the air.

"Um well come in, I'll make some tea. Please do excuse the condition of which this house is in," said Wormtail with unease in his voice. They all trailed behind him and horror struck their faces as they stepped over the mess in the one room floor. The kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom were all clobbered into one room. With a curtain draping over the bathroom for a privacy. There was a ripped up olive couch with stains all over it. The coffee table seemed to be taped together with sticky substances all over it. Papers were all scattered over the floor and dead rodents could be found in the corner. Wormtail soon came back with a rusty tray with four cups of tea.

"You really let yourself go Wormtail," James said examining the tea to make sure it was safe to drink. Unconvinced he set the cup down and directed his attention to Wormtail.

Wormtail gave a sour look toward James, and spoke "Maybe a little. I was sacked from the Ministry a while back and I haven't been successful in finding a job."

James did not entirely believe what Wormtail was feeding him. "You worked for the Ministry?" asked Sirius not drinking the tea either. Remus had given up on it the moment it was served to him. "You said you'd never be caught dead working there!"

"Well I was only twelve-"

"Try seventeen,"

"Okay well I was desperate. I needed some money," Wormtail shot back. "Besides why are you even here, not to be rude or anything." His lip curled at the last of his sentence.

"Just to er see you," James lied. They were indeed checking up on him and by the looks of it he was doing worse than they had expected. "We haven't seen you since the wedding,"

"Yeah well I've been busy,"

"Yeah Wormy you look real busy, how come you haven't sent us letters or anything? I mean if you have you would of known Lily was pregnant," Sirius said without a care.

"Sirius!" shouted James with fright in his voice. The last thing he wanted Wormtail to know was that his wife was pregnant. If Wormtail was indeed in cahoots with Voldemort there would be a bigger chance of Voldemort coming after the baby.

"Pregnant is she?" asked Wormtail with a grin on his face.

"Yeah, yeah she is. Why do you seem to care so much about my wife being pregnant?" said James irritated.

"Hey listen you came to visit me!" Wormtail shouted back as he muttered the word 'coward' under his breath.

"Heard from Snape lately?" asked Sirius unaware that he was giving away their prediction of him being associated with Voldemort.

"No, you?" he said smiling.

"Nope," Sirius retorted.

Before Remus could jump in saying something to calm the situation Wormtail clenched onto his arm. He kept it well hidden under his clothes not showing any wrist. They all looked at each other in suspicion. The thought that Wormtail could possibly have the Dark Mark crossed James mind.. There was suddenly a loud erupting from the kitchen area, along with loads of smoke. Nothing was visible. "Out! Get the hell out now!" screamed Wormtail. Without questioning they all scattered into the muggle street.

Panting and wiping sweat from his forehead, James said, "Apparate to…home now. Hurry!"

So I know this didn't have much humor in this, but I swear the next one will. I kind of needed to have this be serious. Well still review and the next chapter will hopefully be up soon!
