Harry Potter Oneshots

Peter's Side (Pt 2.)

My breath hitches and I feel a smaller hand slip into mine. I look down to see Hermionie giving me a sympathetic look. I told her about my previous relationship with Peter. That is before I knew he was the cause of all this. I squeeze her hand and give her a small, sad smile, before removing my hand and walking a few steps closer to the three men.

"S-Sirius....R-Remus. My old friends." Peter stutters. As neither of them speak, he goes to stand up but Sirius knocks his knee and he falls back down. He looks around the room, obviously trying to find me before he looks straight at me.

"S-Samantha, my lovely-" he starts before Remus glares at him.

"Shut up. You don't have the right to speak to her," Remus spits at him. Tears are already falling down my face as I watch the interaction.

"Don't cry. I never liked it when you did that," he said, clearly talking to me but without making eye contact. I wipe my tears before looking back at them.

"Harry! Look at you! You look just like your father-" Peter starts before Sirius silences him.

"Can, can I explain please?" Peter asks me. Sirius was quick to interfere but I was faster.

"5 minutes," I say to him. He gives me a grateful nod.

"Well tick tock rat," Sirius spits at him. He flinches at the name before starting.

"It wasn't me-" Peter started before Sirius cut him off.

"Bullshit!" Sirius exclaims.

"Sirius let him finish," Remus says. Sirius glares at him but finally shuts up.

"I admit, I was a death eater. But not by choice. Remember back in 1978, the death eaters were going around, trying to scare us into becoming one of them. Which is why we never left the house without another person. Well one night, Sam and I had an awful fight," he pauses and looks at me. "You know which one I'm talking about?" he asks.

I nod. We had been arguing about me going on any more missions now we knew what the death eater's plans were. He didn't want me to help anymore as he didn't want me to be in danger. But I wanted to help my friends. He ended up storming out of the house saying he was going to "take a walk."

"Anyways, I had gotten so angry I could see we both needed to cool down. I walked to the field, the one behind your guys' parents home. Where Remus went for his transformations. With the forest behind it. As I got the around the center of the field, 5 death eaters surrounded me. Lestrange, Malfoy, Avery, Rosier, and Rookwood. They held me down. I still remember where each one was. Lestrange and Rosier had my hands behind my back, Rookwood and Avery to the left as Malfoy was to the right summoning the dark lord."

"Wait, you-know-who was in the field? Usually it was only death eaters." Remus questioned. Peter gave a nod.

"Remus let him finish," Sirius copied Remus from earlier. Remus glared as Sirius chuckled.

"They knew I was the most scared out of all of us, and that I would be the easiest to turn. The dark lord, he told me if I didn't join they would kill, not me, all of you. He said they would kill Prongs. he said they would kill Lily, he said they would kill you two. And if I wasn't scared enough then, they said they would torture Samantha to death. I loved-I love her. I couldn't let that happen. And to prove his point he put images in my head. Multiple ways they could torture or kill her. Crucio, posion, physical attacks, killing curse and many more. I've never been ok since I saw that. My princess, dying because I didn't choose to save her. I knew it was possible, they could do it within an instant. And I was heavily outnumbered. So I agreed. And they did it right then and there on that field. I'm so so sorry I couldn't tell you. I was scared. Not that they would kill me, but that they'd hurt all of you."
