The last few days I had been staying with Sirius. When I told him that Peter Pettigrew was alive he lost it. Started asking how I knew and asking where I thought he was.

"I knew he would be near Harry, but when I tried to look that stupid woman was in my way!"

"Sirius, I think you should calm down."

"Calm down? I've waited years to finish my job! Kill Pettigrew! But I was stuck in Azkaban! I'm not waiting any longer!"

He turned into his Animagus form and went into the tunnel leading to the Whomping Willow. I too turned into my form and followed him. Before I could even reach the surface, Sirius rushed past me dragging a body... A body with red hair.

We got back to the shack and Sirius turned into his regular form. I stayed in mine, noticing that the person Sirius had brought was Ron.

Ron tried to get up and run away but I forced him back, baring my teeth. He went back into a corner and I went to Sirius.

I turned back into my regular form and looked at Ron who was shocked. I then turned to Sirius.

"What are you do--" He covered my mouth and hid usbehind the open door. I heard someone come upstairs and go through the door.

"Ron!" I heard Harry say.

"Ron! You okay?"

"The dog- where's is it?"

"Harry! It's a trap! He's the dog. He's an Animagus..." Sirius slammed the door and let go of me causing me to fall to the floor.

"If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us, too!"

"No. Only one will die tonight."

"Sirius stop." I said.

"Then it'll be you!" Harry tackled Sirius and all he did was laugh. This wasn't the Sirius I knew, Azkaban had changed him.

"Harry don't!"

"I have to end him! Once and for all!" Harry said, pointing his wand at Sirius. The look in his eyes scared me.

"Ha, Ha! Ha, ha, ha! Are you going to kill me, Harry?"

Suddenly the door was opened and Lupin came in. "Expelliarmus."

Harry's wand flew from his hand. I pulled Harry off of Sirius. "Well, well, Sirius, looking a bit ragged, aren't we? Finally the flesh reflects the madness within."

"Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you, Remus?" They smiled and Lupin helped him up. Once he got up on his feet they shared a hug.

"I found him"

"I know."

"It's him!"

"What's with the pronoun game?" I mumbled. I knew that they were talking about Pettigrew but Harry didn't. He didn't even know that Peter Pettigrew was in this very room.

"I understand."

"Let's kill him!"

"No! I trusted you! And all this time you've been his friend!" She looked to all of us then back at him. "He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes!"

"How long have you known?"

"Since Professor Snape set the essay." Harry pulled me back with him and we stayed by Ron and Hermione.

"Well, well, well, Hermione, you really are the brightest witch of your age I've ever met."

"Enough talk, Remus! Come on, let's kill him!"
