The Servant of Lord Voldemort
by

Pete Petigrew was anxiously awaiting a meeting at the Three Broomsticks. He clasped onto his mug of butterbeer to keep his hand from shaking. There was no use in denying His power. Why should he, Peter, resist Him? He was only after all trying to stay alive. This seemed to be the surefire way.
Once year later the worse decision comes to him. Should he expose his friends and let them live and risk his own life or save himself. He fingered in Dark Mark. He knew Lord Voldemort would pull the information about the Potters from Peter's cold body if he had to. He didn't want to die.
He had no choice but to turn into a rat. He had to hide. They would be after him any moment now.
This seems like a good family to stay with. Wizards. He could keep an ear out in case there was any news about his former Master.
Sharing a dorm with Harry Potter. He'll be in the right place if the Dark Lord comes a knocking again.
He has to get away again. Sirius had escaped. He does not want to be found by him. He knows if he is, he will be killed. Sirius is at the school he knows it. A nighttime visit confirms it when he sees the shadow of his former friend standing above his owner. He has to run now.
He swears he didn't mean to betray James and Lily.
It was a long journey before he found his master hidden and bodiless.
"Are you certain we have to use the boy?" He asked for the thousandth time. He already betrayed James and Lily does he have to betray their son too?
He stared at the empty space that was once his hand. Oh how it burned. He had fulfilled his duty though. He would not die today.
He looked away from the pair dueling in the graves. He could not watch their son get killed.
How does he the person who help the Dark Lord return to his body get stuck working as a servant for Snape a man his friends once loathed.
He hesitated. He knew he owed the boy his life. Oh know his hand. He can't die no. They try to pry it off but it doesn't work. The only thing he thinks as his brain finally shuts off is, "I'm sorry"
