January and February passed fairly quickly at Hogwarts. The rivalry between Harry and Snape had been toned down on both parts. The primary reason for this was because they both held Dumbledore in the highest esteem and didn't want to cause unnecessary friction. Remus and Tonks whenever they could make wedding arrangements whilst James was busy at the ministry trying to discover Peter's whereabouts and get him caught as quickly as possible. Harry and Hannah had been together for a month now. He had asked her to escort him to Hogsmeade on the Valentines Day weekend which she happily agreed to since she had been hoping he realised she was interested for some time now.
There was an issue however that was occurring outside the Hogwarts walls that nobody was aware of and that was that Peter Pettigrew was residing in Hogsmeade. Naturally he couldn't be seen so what better place to stay and plot his revenge on his three friends than stay in the Shrieking Shack. One night in March he decided to pay an old friend a visit to give him a friendly warning. Unfortunately that friend was Sirius. Peter was standing in the shadows adjacent to Zonkos as Sirius came out to lock up. A deceptive expression crossed his face as he saw Sirius biding goodnight to a colleague and bending down to pull across the latch.
"Nice night for March isn't it Sirius?" A strong, malevolent voice shouted. Sirius stood up and turned around but saw nobody. He just shook his head and shrugged before walking in the direction of the Broomsticks when the somebody called out to him…..
"You know I always thought you had better manners than that Sirius…."
Sirius breathed in deeply as he turned around and shouted….
"All right who the hell are you?" Nobody responded so he continued……
"Oh come on then show yourself…..what the hell are you afraid of!"
"I'm not afraid of anything Sirius……"Peter answered quietly.
A spine tingling sensation galloped down his back as Sirius came face to face with his old friend. He bore a look of great anxiety as he asked in a fierce some tone of voice….
"What the bloody hell are you doing here? I mean don't get me wrong…..I always knew you were a little slow but I never once thought you were this thick stupid as to lurk around a public place where every auror in the country is looking for you!"
"You don't scare me anymore Sirius…..I know that there are thousands of aurors looking for me. But not one of them knows where I am staying….."
"Look what is it you want Pete? I mean I am kind of in a rush so if you wouldn't mind……getting to the point….."
"Oh I will get exactly to the point Sirius because I wouldn't want to keep you from your beautiful wife and family so…."
"How the hell do you know about them? I never told you……" He smiled cynically as he said….
"I had to come and see you tonight Sirius and I shall tell you why. You see the great Lord Voldemort is growing ever so anxious to return to full power and well…..Harry really is like James isn't he?"
Sirius who was a few feet away from him marched over and caught him by the throat as he roared….
"IF YOU SO MUCH AS TOUCH A SINGLE HAIR ON THE CHILDS HEAD I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF PERSONALLY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"I……eh…." Pettigrew choked as Sirius tightened his grip around his throat. He slammed him harder against the wall as he said….
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?"
"Yessssss….."
"Alright...well….." Sirius said as he put him back on the ground and looked around the street for any sign of civilians but what happened next he never expected.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" Peter shouted at a stunned looking Sirius who went flying half way down the street and crashed into a pile of bins. Peter then smarmily smirked as he waved saying…..
"Bye bye Sirius….."With that he transformed into a rat and scurried back to the shrieking shack, thinking that Sirius would assume he dreamt all of this or at least that nobody would ever believe him. Then he would be able to capture the great Harry Potter and restore his master to full strength.
Well what did ya think? I know twas short but……was is satisfactory or rubbish! Let us know anyway! Talk 2 ya:)
