James and Sirius came back through the fireplace both sighing of frustration and sadness. "Oh, Merlin what do we do?" Sirius asked when they sat in the living room. James asked his parents if they can go home. However, his father said not to go looking for the person that hurt Remus. They, of course, did not listen to him because they are the other half of the Marauders. So naturally, they are going to find them and hex them until they can't see the sun.

"First we find where Moony was shot. Then we track this bloody bastard down,"

"And how do we do that?" Sirius snapped at his best friend then sighed. "Sorry Prongs. Remy usually helps and he's in a bloody coma," Sirius sighed and closed his eyes. James sighed as well and looked out the window.

"Still no news from Wormtail. Does he even care about us? Or Moony. I say we see if Remus left a trail of blood. I might be able to track the sent as a dog," Sirius said thinking out loud. James hums.

"But is that what Remus would have suggested? I mean if someone sees you," James trails off. Sirius nodded.

"Right, but its ether Remus telling us off for doing something stupid. Like I don't know revealing that we are animagus. Or do we find this idiot that hurt our best friend," Sirius said standing up and turning into Padfoot. James sighed.

"Ok, you win, let's go," with that the two sixteen-year-olds left. One a dog and one that is not.

"So, I'll leave you with your son. He will wake soon don't worry. His body needs to rest from the silver and the last full moon," Lyall and Hope nodded as the doctor left the room. They watched Remus sleep for a while before Mr. and Mrs. Potter walked in.

"James and Sirius had gone back home. Do you want to stay with us until Remus wakes up?" Mr. Potter asked as he looks at Remus's sleeping form. Lyall looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you Fleamont. That will be great," Lyall said as he looked back at his son.

"Did the healer say how long Remus will be out for?" Euphemia Potter asked taking a seat next to Remus's bedside. "I hope the boys are not going after whoever did this?" she added under her breath.

Peter was walking down to the Potter manor practicing his worried face. When he saw James. "Crap," he said as he turned into a rat as he watched James and the black dog. That mut must be Sirius. He thought as he looks at the dog. "Yep that's Sirius but what are they doing? No that can't be? Wormtail ran down the road away from his best friends who were following Remus's blood trail.

"Do you got it?" Peter heard James asked then heard Padfoot bark. He panicked when he saw Padfoot run right to him.

Crap. No, go away. He thought as he ran for it. Padfoot was literally on his tail as he skited down the road.

"Padfoot ware are you going?" he heard James call but Padfoot keeps barking after the rat. He's happy to see me? This might be good. Wormtail stopped running and walked into an alley and turned back into Peter.

"Why were you running Pete?" Sirius asked in between breaths. Peter looked at him. Then he looks at James who walked into the alley.

"Wormtail? Did you get our letter why did you not write back? We need your help," James asked as he walked closer to the rat. Peter swallowed and closed his eyes nervously.

"I-I-I was am scared for Remus and I did not what to worry my mum and dad," he opened his eyes and faked a tear that rolled down his face. James looked at him.

"Remus is ok," Sirius said with a smile. However, Peter was not smiling.

"What? I mean that's good news. How is he?" he asked through his gritted teeth and a fake smile on his face. Sirius looked at him.

"What's wrong you seem, lost?" Sirius asked as they walked out of the ally. "And why did I see you by were Remus' blood trail ended?" Sirius added putting his hand in his pocket and took his wand in his hand.

"I-I was." He trailed off as he pulled out his wand and aimed it at Sirius and James. "That's enough I can't take this anymore. I will finish this, or he will kill me. So, I- I must do this. I'm sorry Padfoot, Prongs," James and Sirius's eyes grew wide and Sirius laughed.

"Very funny Wormtail now put the wand down," Peter laughed and slowly started to lower his wand but then he raised it again and his eyes turned into a hateful glare.

"You never cared about me. I found people that do, but I must do this first before you,

"Stop, stop you-you bastard. How dare you we are your friends not- not whoever said this." James walked to Wormtail as he still had his wand raised.

"I have to kill you. Or they will. Please, I must, my friends," he yelled as he raised his wand right at Sirius. "Stupefy," Sirius's eyes grew wide as he flew backward and hit the ground hard.

"Stop. You shot Rem, didn't you?" James yelled but it was too late, for Wormtail was gone and Sirius was unconscious. "Padfoot!"

James carried Sirius back to the house. However, when he got there he found his mother in the doorway with her arms folded. "Where have you been?" she asked in a stern voice. James sighed and walked into the house.

"We went to the muggle park to talk but Siri-Sirius fell asleep," James said with angry tears in his eyes. His mother brought this, but she looks at Sirius who had a cut on his face.

"I wish I could put his so-called parents in Azkaban," James heard his mother mutter as she pulled a blanket warmly on Sirius. James smiled but it did not reach his eyes. His mother saw this.

"Are you ok James?" she asked looking down at Sirius.

"Yes, I'm just worried about Remus," James half lied. He was worried about Remus, but he was also angry and yet confused by why Wormtail would do such a thing. They were friends. He said this right to his and Sirius faces, but why would he what to kill them. Why would he what to do that? James sighed and closed his eyes.

Sirius woke with a start again. He let out an annoyed sigh and looked around the living room. It was dark. He looked over to see James asleep. Sirius sighed and walked into the kitchen. He jumped when he saw Wormtail. Sitting on the island. He was a rat right now, but Sirius could see the hate in his big rat eyes. "Go away, Pete. This is all your fault. You tried to kill us," Sirius snapped at the rat who jumped on to the floor and turned back into Peter.

"I need to. You must understand that,"

"Understand? Understand? No! Wormtail I do not. You tried to kill us and maybe shot Remus! How dare you call us friend. This is your fault!" Sirius was yelling in a hushed voice, but it was rising. Then without warning, Sirius punched Wormtail right in his rat face.

"Ow, Padfoot what are you,"

"Stop talking how dare you speak! I know Remus might give you a second chance, but wait, oh you wait until he wakes up and then me and Prongs will tell him what you did!" Sirius was yelling at the top of his lugs now, but it did not wake anyone to his surprise. Peter was on the ground now holding his face. "Get out of here now! I will tell them what you did. Then what will you do?! Now go!" Sirius yelled as Peter turned into Wormtail and ran over to the door where Sirius opened it. "Never come back!" he muttered in an angry tone.

James woke two minutes after. To see Sirius at the table with his head in his hands. Crying?

"Padfoot? Are you ok?" James asked as he slowly walked closer to his best friend

. "He betrayed us. He betrayed us," Sirius was saying to himself.

"Padfoot. What happened?" James asked wondering if he should get his mother and father.

"He, he was our friend. What happened?" Sirius said looking at James with tears in his eyes.

"Who? Who Padfoot? Who are you talking about?" James sat down in the chair next to him.

"P-Peter. He tried to kill us Progs. I-I think that he tried to Kill Remus," Sirius was still crying. "I want to kill him! He will pay! He will pay!" Sirius yelled but his voice broke as he trailed off and started to cry again. James was unsure what to do. He then grabbed Sirius and hugged him.

"I know Padfoot. Don't worry he will pay. But I don't want you to end up in, well you know," James sighed as did Sirius. James started to speak his thoughts now. "They are going to find out that he can turn into a rat," James said as he too trailed off.

"Wait they might find out about us too," Sirius cut in still in James's arms for a few more minutes.

"No, I don't think he will do that, tell them I mean," James told him looking at the door to the dining room when he heard Remus's parents walking down the stairs.

"Good morning boys," Hope said to the two boys who her son is friends with.

"Good morning," they both said. Sirius was still crying.

"Are you ok Sirius?" Hope asked the young Black. Sirius nodded.

"Nightmare err any news on Rem?" He asked changing the subject. Lyall shook his head.

"No. but don't worry boys I think he will be just fine,"

Inside Remus's mind, he was screaming. "It was Wormtail, it was Wormtail. How dare he. Did he try to kill me, why? Why? Padfoot, Progs please help. Take him down. Do it for me," Remus sighed as he looked around the white and blackness of his mind. He does not want to go to the place where the wolf slept until the full moon. He could see the wolf very clearly as he drifted around in his mind. "Merlin, I hate Silver," the werewolf muttered to himself as he watched the wolf sleep. He had never seen the wolf this clearly before, but it made him shiver. "No. I will not look at Moony," Remus sighed. "Fight Wormtail. Take him down. He's the one that did this, but, I saw fear in his eyes as he looked at me before, or was that a dream?" Remus shook his head and closed his eyes. Then Remus heard voices. "voices? But am I in a coma?" he said out loud as the voices got louder and louder. In fact, they were too loud for his werewolf hearing.

"He needs to wake up Prongs. We need his help to kill Wormtail,"

"We can't kill Wormtail Padfoot. Even though I want to also but I think I would like to get Lilly to love me and finish Hogwarts and not go insane for killing someone," Remus heard someone sigh. It was Sirius and James he noticed. "You know I think you are starting to sound like Moony," Remus smiled at this.

"Oh, shut it," James laughed but it was thick with worry.

"Help!" Remus tried but they did not hear them or did they because they were looking at his sleeping form. Remus's eyes opened slowly, and he blinked at the light. "Padfoot? Prongs?"

Wormtail was in a dark alley waiting for his master. "Did you do it? Are they dead?" the shadowy figure asked the rat who turned into a very nervous looking Peter. Peter did not meet his eyes, but he never does anyway.

"No, but I will give me another,

"No, you had your chance. I will kill you, but not yet. I will kill the people that you failed to kill first," the figure said before he like Sirius only minutes before punched the 16-year-old right in his face. "Leave me be," Peter nodded and turned into a rat and ran home.

A/N: Ha, how was that. There was a point when I did not know how to end this, but I did anyway. I hope you all are loving this. I'm going to say this again. I hate Wormtail. I mean he's a good villain but how could he do something like that go against his friends? Well sorry about my rating. Tell me what you think, and I will see you next time. -Captain Voxland. PS sorry about the cliff hanger.
