Magical Maruders

Halloween

"Are you okay Sam?" Sirius asked. Samirah looked at her husband. He was looking rather handsome today. He was wearing a suit because of an important mission with the order and it suited him rather nicely. Samirah smiled and nodded. She didn't want him to worry.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about Lily and James." Sam said and Sirius nodded in an understanding way.

"You know that if someone saw you enter their secret would be spilled." Sirius said. He didn't want Sam to even leave their house seeing that he was afraid that something would happen to her.

Sam smiled at the boy. He didn't know that she had convinced Peter to be their secretkeeper instead but if her plan was to work nobody was allowed to know. The only two people that actually knew this was herself and Remus Lupin. Lily and James were not informed, but seeing as James had said he couldt choose which friend to lay this burden on she thought it would be okay. The only reason why it was Sam who had been chosen was because of Lily who would prefer her best friend to do it. It was a hard decision to give the responsibility to Peter but he had accepted it.

"I promised Mad-Eye to be there in five minutes so I gotta go now. I will see you tomorrow. Love you." Sirius smiled at the girl. Sam smiled back. She gave him a quick kiss before flattening his jacket.

"You know you look devilishly handsome in this. It's a good thing Alastor isn't gay. I would never want to lose you."

"Well I'll never be the brains of this couple so I try my best to be the looks. Although I keep failing miserably. I can't compete with you." Sam giggled at his sweet comment. She kissed him one more time before telling him to go. Sirius sent her one of his famous smirks that could make all the girls at Hogwarts swoon. Sam smiled and Sirius bowed before transparating away.

Sam sighed and smiled to herself. She grabbed her own wand and apperated to Peter's house. She had promised to check on him from time to time. She arrived and knocked on the door.

"Hello Pete. It's me, Sam" Nobody answered. Sam knocked once more hoping he would hear her this time. When he didn't answer she got worried. She opened the door calling for him. "Peter? Are you home?" Nobody answered. Sam started to get worried. Peter never left his house and he refused the task he was originally given to this date so he was all free. Samirah looked around the house but nobody was home.

Where could Peter be? That's when it clicked for Sam. Peter had refused any task but had instead insisted on Sirius and Remus leaving instead. He wanted them out of the way. He must have been threatened or something. Yes, that was the only reason why he could ever do something like that. But now she had to hurry. She needed to save them before it was too late.

Samirah immediately tranparated herself to Godric's Hollow. She ran towards the house and knocked on the door. They had to be okay. That's when she heard a scream. She knocked down the door. She ran towards the staircase since the scream came from the second floor. There on the staircase was none other than Lord Voldemort. She pointed her wand at the dangerous man and like he could feel her or something he turned around. They locked eyes and Sam stood still.

She didn't know if Lily and James were okay but right now she needed to get rid of that monster first. Voldemort smiled. Something like a smile should never have been on Lord Voldemort. It looked horrifying. He pointed his wand at her but she was quicker. A stupefy was shot his way but he blocked it easely. They kept on battling until Sam was out of breath. She couldn't get a single spell in on him and he was just toying with her.

The door opened and in came Peter Pettigrew. The little traitor watched the battle and a little smile appeared on his lips. Sam noticed him and she lodly said. "Peter? What are you doing here?" That's when the spell hit her. Right in the chest. Sam was shot back several feet and Voldemort laughed. Sam, who could barely keep her eyes open, was sick and tired of it. She needed him to stop and in that moment she did something fatal. She pointed her wand at Voldemort who had turned his back on her. She did it for Lily, James and her little godson Harry. And then she said it. Those two fatal words. "Avada Kedavra." And the green light flashed into the room.

She saw the Dark Lord casting some sort of spell. But it wasn't enough. He was hit in the chest. That's when something weird happened. He turned into some sort of spirit. Sam didn't see more before Peter pinched her against the wall. She smiled at the little rat. The traitor. Her so-called friend. Not anymore. She pointed her wand at the boy.

"SAM!!" Lily Evans ran down the stairs to the scenario. That's when Sam's wand sent out an explosion. When the dust was gone there was only a manically laughing Samirah and a terrified Lily. James ran downstairs as well. He had little Harry on his arm and with the other one he pushed his wife behind him.

"What did you do?" James asked. Sam was still laughing. She looked at the two with a mad expression in her eyes.

"I killed him. I killed the little rat. I think I did it." Sam kept laughing before she was hit with a stunning charm from James' wand and all went black.

Sam woke up in a cage. The bars were out of metal and she could immediately feel her wand missing. She could hear voices and she pretended like she was still asleep.

"We have to send her in now." A male voice said. Sam couldn't recognize it.

"She is still asleep." A female voice this time but Sam still had no idea who it belonged to.

"Then wake her up. NOW" The man said. Sam could hear the door open and she quickly opened her eyes. She was looking at a young woman who snapped her fingers at her. Sam blinked in confusion. And the woman nodded. Two men came in and grabbed Sam taking one arm each.

They lead Sam into a round room with a chair in the middle. She was sitting in the chair and was strapped with handcuffs. She tried to get out of them but the more she tried the tighter they got and thes more it hurt. She looked up with an angry expression. What were they doing? She had just killed Lord Voldemort, the most dangerous man to ever exist. And yet Barthy Ferm was looking at her with disgust. She glared at the man.

"Samirah Neil Black. You are accused of being a Death Eater and killing Peter Pettigrew. What do you have to say about this?" Barty Ferm announced.

Sam looked at the man in shock. What was he saying? Yes she did kill Peter but she would never become a Death Eater.

"I'm have to say that it's the worst bullsh*t I have ever heard. I would never become a Death Eater."

"We have a eye witness that saw you kill Mr. Pettigrew. After he had bravely killed He Who Must Not Be Named." Lily Evans stood up and Sam looked at her with disbelief. Besides her was James. The boy was sending Samirah a venomous look. Sam looked around but she couldn't spot Sirius. He had to believe her. Sam looked back at Barty Ferm with anger.

"Peter Pettigrew did not kill Voldemort. I did." Samirah yelled. Anger was running through her veins. How could they believe that traitor had killed Voldemort?

He didn't even have the nerve to take down Voldemort from the inside.

"You killed Peter. I saw it." Lily yelled. Samirah looked back at her best friend. Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes but Sam kept them in. Lily didn't know that Peter had been the secretkeeper. Sam had to remember that.

"I judge you guilty of the murder of Peter Pettigrew." Barty Ferm yelled. Sam didn't try to escape when two wizards brought her out. She had killed Peter, yes. But it had been legalized for members of the order to kill Death Eaters. She was going to prison for nothing.

Samirah knew what was waiting for her. A cell in Azkaban. But all she could think about was Sirius. She wanted to see him. Just one last time. Even if he hated her.
