Peter Pettigrew

London

November 1, 1981

There was Sirius, he wasn't looking so good in Peter's opinion, but then who would be at a time like this?

'You betrayed Lily and James!' Sirius shouted, pointing at Peter. So he knew, Peter thought, well it doesn't matter, no one else knows.

'How could you, Sirius! Lily and James were our friends!' Peter yelled loudly, feeling great satisfaction at the fleeting look of shock that passed over Sirius' face.

'You were secret keeper Peter! You told Voldemort their whereabouts!' Sirius argued.

'Ah, but who else knows?' Peter whispered quietly so that only Sirius could hear him. Sirius turned white in shock. 'No one else knows, do they, Sirius? They all think it was you.'

'I can't believe you, Sirius! You're responsible for Lily and James' death! And now you're going to kill me too!' Peter shrieked in a shrill voice.

'Yes, I will kill you, Peter!' Sirius confirmed, stepping forward, 'You're a traitor and I will find pleasure in your demise! I'll willingly go to Azkaban knowing you will be dead!'

'Goodbye, Sirius.' Peter murmured before... 'Confringo!'

BANG

An explosion erupted, causing several spectating muggles to scream, and Black to turn in shock. Pulling out a small pocket knife, Peter sliced off his index finger on his right hand and watched for a moment as it fell to the ground.

'Oh no you don't traitor!' Sirius yelled, turning around again as Peter's finger fell to the ground, running forward in an attempt to stop him. Peter waved at him before turning into a rat and blending in with the other critters, hiding as he watched Sirius.

Ministry officials arrived as Black fell to his knees on the ground, laughing deliriously. The Aurors pulled him away without a struggle, all the while Black laughed and screamed, ranting about traitors.
