The Lost Potter-Draco Malfoy

Chapter 17 ✔️

 Charlotte's POV- 

"Charlotte, who are we waiting for! Just give me Peter, we can get Ron's leg fixed. Peters obviously brainwashed you. You're still new, you don't know everything he's done." Sirius said, he took a step closer to me, trying to reach for Peter. I took a step back, holding my wand up higher.

"No. I haven't been brainwashed. I listened, something you three obviously lacked." Sirius shook his head, running his hand through his hair. The door opened with a bang, James stood there, he froze staring between my wand pointing at Sirius, Peter on my shoulder, Ron on the bed, and Sirius. 

"What is going on here?" James yelled, Harry and Hermione ran to Ron on the bed. 

"It's time Peter." I whispered to him, he jumped off my shoulder, and transformed back into himself. He took a couple steps back until his back hit the wall, I stood in front of Peter, watching as James and Sirius took out there wands. 

"Expelliarmus!" I yelled, the wands flew out of there hands and into mine, James and Sirius stared at me dumbfound, as I threw their wands against the wall, next to Peter. 

"Both of you need to stop and listen!" 

"Charlotte, move now." James hissed, he glared at Peter over my shoulder, taking a step closer. I pointed my wand higher, right at his neck but James only glared at Peter harder. 

"No."

"You don't understand, he tried to kill us! He tried to kill you!" James yelled.

"It wasn't him, James! Please listen to Peter! It wasn't him. We just have to wait for Remus!" I begged. 

"Stop being a coward and hiding behind my daughter." James hissed.

"He's not a coward! Just listen!" James leapt forward, grabbing my arm. I tried to pry his fingers off, but James's grip was too tight. I grabbed Peter's hand, as the door opened with a bang, Remus ran in, his pale, his eyes wide. 

"Finally took your sweet ass time! What were you doing, sleeping?" I shouted at Remus. We needed all of them here, Remus taking his sweet time was making everything much more complicated. 

"What's going on? Why are we not calling the dementors or something?"

"Dementors?" Peter shouted as he looked at me. I shook my head, James's hand still wrapped around my arm, I still clutched onto Peter, the fear in his eyes, the panicked look in his face, I felt tears rushing to my eyes. 

"Peter, tell them! Tell them what really happened! James just gives him five minutes, that's all I ask." I cried; I looked back at James.

"Please," I whispered, grabbing his arm. His eyes scanned my face before he shut his eyes, let out a long breath before looking up at Peter. 

"Please listen to me, James. It's been fourteen years since I last saw you, please," Peter whispered.

"What are you talking about? It's been twelve." Sirius said, Peter shook his head. 

"Not for me. For me, it's been fourteen." Peter said, he took a deep breath before he started explaining his story. I watched there faces, the ones that were riddled with rage in the beginning melted into guilt. 

"Peter-" James whispered,

"What a wonderful story, Pettigrew, but I guess no one else's is goanna believe you, with you four going to be in Azkaban." Snape threw off Harry's invisibility cloak. How could I have been so stupid, Snape coming into the shirking shack completely slipped my mind. I was too distracted with getting everyone here, that I forgot about the most important fucking part.
