PETER PETTIGREW
Peter had always wanted friends, but when he got them, he still felt like an outcast.
Sirius made fun of him a lot but he let it slide because friends made fun of each all the time…right?
Peter's parents were only together because of him. When Peter started school, his father left to be with the girl he really loved. Peter never forgave him. Now he doesn't care for Muggles.
He had a crush on Lila Dearheart of Hufflepuff but she didn't know he even existed. She only had eyes for Sirius. He grew very jealous of Sirius.
The day after James had humiliated Snape, Peter found him crying in the boys' bathroom. Not wanting to intrude, he started to leave, but Snape noticed him. Feeling awkward, Peter let Snape vent his feelings...he had no one to do that with. Suddenly, Peter felt very sympathetic toward Snape and he realized James wasn't all that.
He couldn't believe Snape had almost died. Peter didn't blame Remus at all, he didn't know what was going on until James had told him. Peter couldn't believe Sirius could be so reckless…or could he? He decided he didn't much like Sirius anymore.
By seventh year, Peter only considered two people to actually be his friends, Remus and Snape.
Peter hated to do this, but in order for the Order to be thrown off his trail he had to get them fighting. It was easy to convince Remus that Sirius was the spy. He had so many qualities that made him the perfect candidate. It was harder to convince Sirius that Remus was the culprit. After all, Peter didn't have a qualm against him, but most people wouldn't think twice if a werewolf had joined the Dark Lord. His only hope was that Remus never found out so they could still be friends.
He thought he would finally mean something if he turned the Potters in. All that needed to die was James. Even Harry could. He knew Snape had already vouched for Lily, so she would be safe. When he did turn them in, everything went wrong. Lily died instead of Harry, Sirius tried to murder him, and now he was being fed disgusting rat food by a stuck up teenager and his brothers. Then he's given to the youngest because his owner wanted an owl. Now he's humiliated because the youngest isn't very good at Transfiguration.
He was thankful Harry had saved his life. He had years to think about what he had done and now he knew that he had screwed up big time. James knew Snape liked Lily and it bothered him. That's why he teased Snape. Sirius teased everyone, but he was loyal, he would never turn his back on his friends, that's why he tormented Snape, because Snape insisted on tormenting Remus, and no one messed with Sirius' friends. Remus only hated him because he hadn't seen the good in the other two. Now Peter was friendless. Snape was bitter and took it out on everyone, even Peter. So when Harry's spell finally came into play and he began to suffocate under his own hand, Peter hoped James and Sirius would forgive him…even if it meant Sirius finally got to hit him.
