He couldn't do it he just couldn't. This was worse than lying to them or any of the pain. This hurt his soul, these guys were his family. Could he really kill them? He knew the truth; this was the biggest mistake of his life, and he was going to make up for it. He sat all day staring at the wall trying to think of a plan. Nobody disturbed him knowing what was happening that night. He finally thought of something, it was insane but he had to try. He ran it over in his head countless times; he knew where he was going to stand and what exact moment to cast the spell.
    When he finally came out of his daze it was dusk, he had to hurry. He thought about the Potters cabin them the fountain that was down the street and apparated. The second he was stable he transformed into a little rat.
    He scurried down the road trying to stay out of sight even in his disguise. He made good time then he froze. There he was right there; he watched as he open the gate and started striding towards the house. He ran as fast as he could as he slipped through the gate and in the front door. He saw him James was there in the front room. He watched in horror as his best friend turned without a wand. He was such an idiot he was unarmed. He stared unable to move as James started screaming for Lily to go.
    At the the last second he managed to cast a shield spell and a deep sleep spell then charged to do the same for Lily. In the nursery Lily was sobbing telling Harry how much she loved him. It broke his heart, then the door creaked open and the spell was cast. Peter went as fast as he could shield spell them sleep. He was exhausted by the powerful quick magic. He thought Voldemort would spare Harry but he was wrong. He couldn't move quick enough as the spell was cast.
    The best thing in the entire world happened, the room lit up green with a scream. But it wasn't a baby's scream, i was the scream of a dark lord. Harry sat in the crib staring at what looked like his dead mother, he knew people would be coming to collect Harry so he had to take the bodies now. He transformed back to human and did Lily first. He thought about his guest bedroom bed as apparated, he laid her on the bed then went back for James and repeated the process.
He thought about going back and explaining what he did, but i wouldn't be safe he would be killed by Voldemort's death eater and nobody would know about the Potters. He busied himself with checking them over and healing them. Thank the gods they were living just in a coma, but he couldn't wake them.He tried every spell he knew and looked for new ones, but he knew deep down they would just have to wait it out. Maybe one day he would have his family.
    He was going to meet an old wizarding doctor from America to see if they could help him. He was walking down the street when he heard a loud noise from behind him. He turned and saw his brother.
    "Peter why? Why did you do it? You know what i don't care for you or your groveling, you will pay for taking my family from me. They were you family two but i loved them and still do." Sirius Black was standing there his wand leveled at his heart. He want to run to him and tell him what he had done and how they were still alive.
    "Sirius i..." He started but he knew there might be death eaters in disguise and he couldn't risk it. He knew it was selfish saving his own tail but he needed to, for James.
    "Don't speak you coward, you don't deserve to speak of them." Sirius spat at him. He was very thin and had deep bags under his eyes. It was killing him to see his best friend, his brother, blame him for death and threaten to kill him. He couldnt speak. "Nothing to say Peter?" He sounded a lot like Bellatrix as he spat his name. "Well you'll never have to say anything every again." Sirius shot off a spell but it wasn't the killing curse. He pulled his wand and used the spell they used one time to blow stuff up in school and shot it at the street. He shifted and ran down the sewer, he knew how much damage that spell could do he probably killed at least ten muggles and he felt horrible but he couldn't risk it. 'Its for James and Lily' he kept telling himself.
