Harry Potter. Hermione X Male Reader Story

Untimely Transformations and False Accusations

(Y/N)'s POV

They began to explain that Pettigrew was alive, and he was the one that betrayed Harry's parents, Harry didn't seem impressed "No. Pettigrew's dead. He killed him." As Harry pointed at Black, Black laughed mirthlessly. 

Lupin nodded "I thought so, too. Until you mentioned seeing Pettigrew on the Map." "The Map was lying then" Harry interrupted. "The Map never lies." Black chuckled, I pointed my wand at him "How would you know?" I said, he smirked, "I know a lot of things, like Pettigrew's alive. And he's right there."

With confidence Black points at... Ron. Ron went white with fear. "M-me? He's a lunatic..." "Not you, you idiot. Your rat." "Scabbers? Scabbers has been in my family for-" Black spoke bitterly "Twelve years. A curiously long life for a common garden rat. He's missing a toe, isn't he?"

Black unfolded a dog-eared clipping from The Daily Prophet: it showed Ron in Egypt with his family, Scabbers on his shoulder. Ron shouted, "So what?" Harry seemed to know "All they could find of Pettigrew was his-" Black finished for him "Finger." 

"Dirty coward cut it off so everyone would think he was dead. Then he transformed into a rat. " "He killed the muggles, not you, he framed you" I said in disbelief. "Smart boy" Black said again. Harry insisted they showed him.

Lupin and Black turned to Ron. Who was holding Scabbers protectively, eventually they managed to take Scabbers from him, but as they started to cast a spell on him Scabbers tried to squirm away, looking for an exit, but both cats were guarding the door, he tried to jump into a cabinet, but didn't make it.

As the spell hit him Scabbers twisted madly in midair, then, after a blinding flash he transformed into... a very short man with thinning hair and grubby hands. Peter Pettigrew, "S-Sirius... R-Remus. My old friends".

There was a seconds pause, suddenly, he made a break for it, but Sirius merely shoved him back. Pettigrew's nose twitched, his gaze finding Harry. His hands fluttered nervously "Harry! Look at you! Y-you look just like your father. Like James. We were the best of friends, he and I-"

He clung on to Harry's chest, Sirius shoved him off harshly "Shut your snivelling mouth" he said angrily, he turned to Black "I didn't mean to! The Dark Lord, you have no idea the weapons he possesses! Ask yourself what you would have done, Sirius. What would you have done!"

Black was shaking with anger, hatred burned into his tone, "I WOULD HAVE DIED!" he advanced, wand drawn "Died rather than betray my friends! And you should have realised, Peter, if Voldemort didn't kill you..." he glanced to Lupin, who continued "We would. Together" He said in an eerily calm voice.

"No... please... you can't..." he whimpered eyes darting around the room finding Ron. "Haven't I been a good friend? A good pet? You won't let them kill me, will you? I was your rat..." Ron drew back in disgust. Pettigrew turned to Hermione. 

"Sweet girl. Clever girl. Surely you won't let them... " I shoved him away, "You, kind boy, you like animals, help me-" he looked into my eyes and realised he wouldn't get any pity from me, he shrunk away from me. As one, Lupin and Black raised their wands, pointed them directly into Pettigrew's face. He started trembling, he was closing his eyes in fear, when...

"No" Harry said firmly "Harry, this man..." Lupin started "I know what he is. But we'll take him to the castle" Pettigrew became tearful, sobbing. "Bless you, boy! Bless you-""Get off! I said we'd take you to the castle. After that, the Dementors can have you."

By the time we made it back through the willow, Pettigrew was already blubbering, bound by magical chains, "Anything but the Dementors... Ron! Haven't I been a good friend? A good pet? You won't let them kill me, will you? I was your rat..." a thought occurred.
