Sirius Black tore through the house after Peter. Sirius was gaining on him as he ran past servant and family member alike. He was consumed with a mad rage that seemed to burn up his entire thought process. All he could think about was killing Peter, making him suffer. After tripping over a servant Sirius stole her wand and began to fire curse after curse at the chubby rat which was getting slower by the minute. Peter wasn't as young as he used to be and a rat could only run so fast. Unfortunately, the house didn't have holes or crevasses to disappear into. Peter cursed Addie for sealing most of them up in an effort to beautify the house. The rat squeaked in pain as a curse cut into him and brought him back to human form.
"What the bloody hell is going on here?" yelled Persephone as she made her way towards the commotion. It wasn't the smartest thing to do but nobody disturbed Persephone Pettigrew. Timothy and Beadle toddled behind her in curiosity. Being two going on three they couldn't see the danger in the situation.
"Well hello there Peter. Nice of you to join me." Said Sirius circling Peter like a predator. Peter's hand inched towards the wand in his sleeve. If he could just get it free he could get rid of Sirius and then he could get on with his life. Yes, he could plead his innocence to the ministry on stop hiding on the bloody rock.
"S-Sirius. Wh-what bring you here." Said Peter meekly not noticing the children watching from the archway. Galatea and Harry had their wands trained on him and Ron was nowhere to be seen.
"I'm here to destroy you Peter." Said Sirius with a calm sort of determination. Galatea mouthed something and Harry and Persephone nodded. Galatea attempted to shoo the children but they stood their ground.
"G-Go Sirius. Leave me and my family be." Said Peter as Harry entered his peripheral vision.
"You sold James and Lily to Voldemort! You traitor! You coward!" yelled Sirius firing curses at Peter. He deflected most of them and casted a few of his own at Sirius. Harry attempted to put Sirius into a body bind but was knocked into by Ron. His spell hit Galatea who was to put Sirius into unconsciousness. She went stiff and fell into Persephone who was trying to lead the children away. Sirius didn't bother to watch that as he began to beat Peter into bloodiness. By the time that Harry was able to get himself sorted out Peter was a bloody mess and his wand was across the room. Sirius then attempted to hit Peter with a reducto at close range which would kill him but the wand had other ideas. The reducto fizzled out as many of his other curses had. This wand was just too different. Not that Sirius knew it but he had taken the wand off of a near squib witch who had only managed to get a child's training wand.
"Mummy!" yelled Timothy as he acted almost without knowing it. Harry was going to attempt once again to incapacitate Sirius but it seemed that Timothy Black beat him to it. Timothy felt magic coursing through him and he knew he had to take the scary man's wand before his mother was hurt again. He focused his magic and then snapped his fingers. Sirius' wand went flying through the air and into Timothy's hands.
"Bad man, you go away now!" said Beadle as he pulled his child's wand out and threatened Sirius Black with it. All Sirius could do was laugh.
"What's funny?" asked Harry as he held Sirius at wand point. He knew who Sirius Black was and his relation to the morons who both made him and then went and bothered the newest crazy to call himself the Dark Lord. Harry also knew that this man obviously had some kind of a problem and had also threated Harry's pseudo family.
"Didn't know Peter had a boy or are you just that daughter I've heard about?" laughed Sirius. He was so close and now he was being held at wand point by children. Persephone had sorted out Galatea and she joined Harry. She knew that the proper authorities were coming; the governess had better have been alerting them when the children ran off.
"Shut up. The authorities are coming to take you to the Palace of Justice." Said Galatea every bit the Lady Black. She looked at Sirius for a while. What had her mother seen in him. She could see herself in him and felt a bit of possessiveness towards this filthy, crazy man. He was her father, her maker, after all. Then again he did threaten her family and that was reason enough to do what needed to be done.
"What are you then love, his mistress? How much is old Wormtail paying you anyway? Mind if I have a go?" asked Sirius truly not knowing who he was talking to. She looked pretty enough he decided but too much like his cousin Bellatrix. Actually, she looked more like a girl he used to be involved with. What was her name again? Something with an M. Marge? Mary? It wasn't important.
"That's sick." Said Galatea as she resisted the urge to bring her hand to her mouth. She was brought up on Remordere. Anything closer than cousin was just wrong. Very wrong.
"Kill me then, I got him back. He had a knife on him and I got him a few times. He'll be dead soon and then the power that be will sort him out. He'll pay for eternity for what he did." Said Sirius. Harry and Galatea silently agreed to keep him talking until the proper authorities arrived. Persephone took the children upstairs not even complaining about doing a servant's work. She had been shocked into silence by Timothy's display of power. Made her want to have one of her own.
"For protecting his wife and child?" asked Harry sarcastically. He now realized that he had come to care about Peter, Addie, and the rest. They were his family sort of. They raised him and made sure he was safe. That wasn't true of what he saw of his time with his aunt and uncle.
"For selling out his friends!" yelled Sirius. Behind him Galatea could he heard chanting over Peter's wounds. She did look a bit like him, mostly in hair color. The flesh did reflect the madness within in Sirius' case.
"He had a child to worry about. A wife too but I'm not sure if you've ever had much experience with one of those." Said Harry wondering where the authorities were. What did they do, stop and take in a matinee?
"I would have protected my friends!" yelled Sirius. He didn't want some kid questioning him. Some selfish, spoiled, pureblood brat.
"Above your daughter? Your flesh and blood!" asked Harry angrily. He could feel his magic threatening to escape. He was fourteen for god's sake! His magic should have been completely settled! Ron whimpered from a corner and Harry wondered what would have happened if he hadn't brought Ron and his so called dog him with him. He would have probably gotten drunk on wizarding absinthe and found a fun courtesan. He almost slipped into a fantasy of that day, ending in being chastised by Addie and given an awkward talk from Peter. Were their talks always awkward because Peter wasn't his father or because Peter was just so out of his element? A laugh from Sirius Black broke him from his digression.
"Oh yeah, I got one somewhere don't I? Now I remember, his fat lump of a sister tried to trap me with some bastard. Probably wasn't even mine." Said Sirius. Galatea could be heard muttering some words which were never to pass a lady's lips.
"I can assure you she was." Said Harry matter- of-factly. Harry could hear Ron in the corner asking for his mother. This must have been a shock to him but Harry and Galatea had other things to worry about.
"How do you know that? Huh?" asked Sirius. He didn't know what to do. He had gotten Peter, killed him even, and now he awaited death. Wherever Harry potter was he was surely safe now. Probably found a nice family to take him in and bring him up proper.
"The Lady Galatea Black is a close personal friend of mine." Said Harry as he felt the wards shift to allow as large number of people. Good, there were there.
"And who are you then? Some bastard Pettigrew?" asked Sirius. Harry felt himself getting angry. His magic was threatening to act of its own accord. This wasn't good.
"Some little servant boy then?" mocked Sirius. Footsteps could be heard. The house had shifted at some point. It did that because of the sheer size of it. They must have been near the kitchens towards the back. If he could just control himself for a little longer…
"Run off to your master then, servant boy." Mocked Sirius in a sing song voice. He was brought up Harry James Pettigrew. He was no servant. He clenched his hands and bit his lower lip.
"What's a matter you poor little servant, lost your wages? Maybe the mistress of the house could…" started Sirius before a burst if white light blinded him.
"I'm not a bloody servant! I'm Harry bloody Potter!" yelled Harry as his disguise dropped. A hush filled the crowd that had gathered. The authorities picked that moment to enter the room.
"Harry…" said Sirius quietly. Harry James Potter stood before them.
