Hello

Awkward Confrontations and Poopy Diapers

Okay, my dear amazing followers. I owe you one of the biggest apologies known to man for the extended absence. So I’m going to try and make this update (which is fueled by Rockstarr, a milkshake, half of a chocolate bar, and some AirHeads ExTremes) long and amazing.

In the news of my disappearance from Wattpad, I can only blame the stress of finishing high school (I ended up with a “B” average overall) and starting at my local university. The past two semesters have been hard because of family drama (my mom was in the hospital for over a month over Christmas break and still treats me like I’m shit… but that’s a story for another time), school work load being different than I’m used to, and basically sheer laziness. However, I managed to make a 3.5 GPA for my first two semesters of college, landing me a spot on the Dean’s List. Yay!

To also fill you in on other aspects of my life (I know, you’re all yelling at me to hurry the hell up so that you can read the chapter already, but hey. I need friends), I got hooked on Supernatural and Sherlock, which is one of the worst mistakes of my life. So forgive me if my Harry Potter isn’t quite up to snuff.

The track for this chapter is Thank You by Led Zeppelin.

Chapter Eight

Awkward Confrontations and Poopy Diapers

Suddenly, the door burst open. “James! Lily! Hey, it’s been a while!”

The room swiveled to face the opened door and the squat, mousey man standing within the frame.

“Peter,” growled Sirius as he jumped off of the couch and tried to run at the doorway. The only thing that held him back was Remus grabbing him by the scruff of the neck.

“What are you doing here, Wormtail?” Remus asked, though he didn’t dare release the hold he had on the growling Padfoot. “I thought that you were going to be abroad visiting family this month.”

“I could a-ask everyone i-in here that qu-question,” Peter stuttered, not expecting this many people upon his arrival and certainly not expecting Sirius to growl at him. “I don’t believe I know man- Snivellous?”

Snape glared at the man in the doorway before turning his attention to Dumbledore and Mad-Eye. “I thought that the warding you had put up prevented unwelcome intrusions,” he said slowly. “I believe this does classify as an intrusion.”

“James!” Peter said frantically, rushing over to his friend’s side. “That man is a Death Eater. You are all in danger!”

At this, Harry stepped forward to face the smallest Marauder. “It takes one to know one,” he said softly. “How long have you been working for Voldemort?” There was a collection of gasps at the name, but everyone was intently listening to the accusations made by the young man.

Peter visibly flinched at the use of the Dark Lord’s name, but he held his ground. “Why would you accuse me of such a thing?” he asked, stepping away from Harry. “I-I don’t even know who you are and you’re throwing insults to my face. I-I’m James and Lily’s best fried- we’re the best of friends. You sit h-here in com-companionable silence with Sni-snivellous yet you accuse me of such heinous crimes?”

“Remus, let go of Sirius,” Harry said, not taking his eyes off of Peter. “Sirius, check his left forearm for the Mark.”

Harry’s words seemed to have broken something within Peter; when Remus let go of Sirius, Peter transformed into his Animagus form and took off running through the house. This caused Sirius to change into his giant black dog and stampede through the room in chase of the rat. All doors and windows were locked down by the future occupants of the house so that Peter couldn’t escape.
