"Lie low at Lupin's."
In a proper home for the first time since he was 21, Sirius Black writes letters to all his friends the night of Voldemort's return. Remus goes out and places the letter on each tombstone and a small, empty cottage where Remus...

Peter,
Why?
That's all I want to know. What made you think we weren't worth it, what made you think that swine could help? I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive you. Not because you escaped and I was convicted but for what you did. You didn't fight for us Worm -no- Peter that's what hurt. You didn't think we were important enough to fight for us. We would've done that for you Pete, especially James. The James you sold out, the same unruly boy who walked up to you in that dormitory the first day of Hogwarts and with the goofiest grin on his face, handed you a chocolate frog so you could stop moping about being away from your mum.
I never really understood how you became a Gryffindor in the first place. It hit me that day though, while I rushed about like a madman looking for you. You had the guts to betray, you had the daring to set yourself apart. I just wish it would've been for a better cause and not to murder your best mates.
Did you even think of Harry? The squealing baby boy who you held up two minutes after he was born when the rest of us didn't turn up in time. Remember how he pulled at your jumper when he first started to crawl. You know what the irony of life is? Out of all 5 of us in the hospital room when Harry was born, you've spent more time with him than his own parents. You watched him in Hogwarts you prat, James and Lily's boy and still you had the fucking audacity to tie him to that statue tonight and helped resurrect Voldemort. You put a knife to his arm Peter, doesn't that disgust you? And despite everything he let you go, he didn't subject you to the Dementor's kiss.
I don't know who you are anymore? And I won't be calling you Wormtail ever again. This isn't my cheese loving prat, or the sharp boy who perfected the plans for our pranks. No you're Wormtail to Voldemort now and it sickens me to even think about you. It feels like a thousand knives pierce my skin every time I think of that dreaded meeting where I made you secret keeper. I lead them to their deaths Peter, all because I bloody trusted you. James was right, damn it he always is.
I know there were times when you didn't feel you were enough of a Marauder Peter, and maybe that's why you did all that shit, but I'd just like to let you know that to James, Remus and I you always were our brother. You were as important to us as the rest and I'm terribly sorry you didn't feel that way.
Not really yours anymore,
Cocky as ever,
Sirius.
A/N: I don't really know what this is except sad Marauder feels, but I'm quite happy with this so yay! Also why is that gif exactly what I'd imagine Peter doing when the other 3 wanna do something reckless. Next up is Sirius' favourite girl always, Marlene!!
