This chapter is the shortest so far... But one that's coming up is less than 300 words, so that's fun. Review to let me know what you think!

Sirius was determined to find Peter Pettigrew. Peter had turned his back on the people who cared the most about him and had betrayed them all. Nothing could have made Sirius angrier. Peter, who had looked up to James; Peter, who they'd taken under their wing and protected; Peter, who owed so much to James, but turned him in away.

Sirius went to look at Peter's childhood home first. As far as he knew, Peter was still living with his parents, but when his mother answered the door, she said she hadn't seen him in a few days, and did Sirius know where he was, because she was starting to get worried.

Afterwards, it took Sirius less than 24 hours to find Peter, going to all the places Peter liked to go, finally cornering him in a busy Muggle street.

"Peter, did you really think you could get away with this? I know everything about you being secret keeper. How could you?"

"The Dark Lord is very persuasive, Sirius. You have no idea-"

"I would never have sold out James and Lily like you did."

"He would have killed me!"

"Then you should have died!" Sirius barked, drawing his wand.

Peter all of a sudden has a dangerous glint in his eye, one Sirius had never seen before, and that worried him. "Maybe I will."

Sirius barely had time to blink before Peter started yelling so that the whole street could hear him. "Lily and James, Sirius, how could you?"

The beginning of a silencing spell flew from Sirius' lips, but it was cut short. The sound and force of the explosion made him completely disoriented. The Muggles on the street screamed, several of them having been caught in the blast, and the rest were screaming in shock at the scene in front of them.

Sirius looked in front of him and gasped. In the spot where Peter Pettigrew had stood, there was now a large crater and a single human finger. Sirius saw a rat scurry away into the sewer and realized what must have happened.

We taught him well, Sirius thought, Marauders 'til the very end.

Sirius let out a harsh laugh, realizing how it must have seemed to the Muggles standing around him. Little Peter Pettigrew had set him up. For once, it wasn't Sirius doing something wrong, blame it on someone else and get away with it. For the first time in his life, Sirius had done nothing wrong, and he was still getting blamed for it.

As the Ministry task force arrived and took him into custody, Sirius couldn't stop laughing, almost as if it was the only thing he knew how to do anymore. However, the only thing running through Sirius' head was that he'd promised Remus he'd be home.

Well, it wouldn't be the first promise I couldn't keep, he thought, But please, whoever's out there, please let Moony keep his.
