Deadly Lies

"Mhhh *breath* aaaahhhh*breath*…ster *breath*......I have some inffff...*breath*....ormation....for you......"

"Well spit it out you fool!" growled the most evil, and terrifying wizard in all the earth. Pettigrew cringed at that sound.

" S-S-Sirius made me....*breath* the secret keeper of Lily and James...*breath*

Voldemort, for probably the first time in his conquering life, smiled, finally, he knew once and for all where those rotten Potters were. He would finally get what he was waiting for, for so long, the Potters would die, and no one could stop him on his quest to rid the world of happiness. It would be an evil place once everything was through.

"You’ve actually done some good this time Wormtail" said Voldemort slyly. " Thank you ever so much for your help. But, why am I thanking you? You fool! You do one thing right and you expect praise. Well Wormtail, I’m the reason you are who you are, and YOU should be thanking ME!!!" he roared. "NOW TELL ME WHERE POTTER IS!!!!!" Pettigrew fell back into the dark shadows of the room, quietly answering his master’s question.

Sirius knew something was wrong....he hurried as fast as he could out of the house, he couldn’t apparate this time, Voldemort would see him-it would make everything worse! He took his motor-bike and sped off as fast as he could.

* * * * *

James suddenly felt panicked. Something wasn’t right, someone was coming. Someone evil. NOO! It couldn’t be, it’s not possible. Sirius wouldn’t do this! He trusted him!

"Lily! Take Harry and go! It’s him! Go! Run! I’ll hold him off!

Sirius got there as fast as he could. He wasn’t fast enough. He could hear inside the house screams of terror. He could hear James yelling to Lily. Then he heard that murderous, blood-chilling voice roaring, "AVADA KEDAVRA!!!!!!" Sirius saw a bright blinding flash of light and then heard a thud and Lily screaming. He heard the malicious laughter of Voldemort. Sirius was frozen on the spot. Not Lily, please not Lily. But he couldn’t move.

"Not Harry not Harry, please!"

"Stand aside you silly girl...stand aside now..."

"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead-"

Not Lily!!!!! Sirius still couldn’t move...he wanted to, but he couldn’t seem to move. Then he heard that voice, and saw that light, Lily was dead, but he heard the baby crying. And all was silent. He could finally move...he fell helplessly, sobbing, to the ground.

* * * * *

Pettigrew knew something happened. His master has succeeded! But, no, something didn’t feel right. He had to find Voldemort. Something happened to him! Wormtail sped off as fast as he could to try and locate his master.

* * * * *

Sirius sat on the ground…sobbing. He had killed them, he killed his best friends. How could he have done such a thing?!?! He just sat there, wishing he was dead. Then out of the blue, he hear the wailing child. This brought Sirius back to reality. His godchild was still in the house with Voldemort. He rushed inside as fast as he could, and found Lily, reaching for Harry. Sirius turned away, not wanting to see. It just made him angry and guilty. He scooped up Harry into his arms, got on his motor bike, and sped off. Dumbledore would know what to do. Then suddenly, he stopped his bike. What had happened to Voldemort?! He wasn’t in the house. Something must have happened! And why, why was Harry not dead? That’s it! Somehow Voldemort’s curse backfired, and killed him instead! But, his body wasn’t in the house. He looked down at Harry. The baby was sleeping peacefully in Sirius’ arms, and for the first time, he noticed the lightning bolt scar on his forehead. This baby in his arms was more powerful than Voldemort, the most powerful wizard anywhere! And he wasn’t even a child yet! Sirius revved up his bike, and started off again.

He met Hagrid. Rubeus Hagrid on the way to Dumbledore. Hagrid said that Dumbledore knew about Lily and James, he didn’t say how, but that Hagrid was sent to get Harry. Sirius hesitated, and then gave Hagrid the sleeping baby. Dumbledore knew what was best, everyone knew that! So Sirius handed over his motor-bike to Hagird, and watched his godchild go. Once again that torturing pain set in, but this time is was caused by his anger, he apparated on the spot, not knowing where he was going, but this anger was so fierce, he knew exactly what he was going to do.

* * * * *

Pettigrew was rushing down the street, towards Diagon Alley. He knew he was being followed, he could feel it. But, he didn’t know who it was. Suddenly, he froze. He turned on his heel, and was met face to face by Sirius. He gasped.

"P-Padfoot…what are you doing here?!?!"

"You know exactly what Pettigrew. You foolish, stupid traitor! How could you do this to your friends!?!"

"I d-d-don’t know what you’re talking about old friend!"

"Don’t you DARE old friend me, you idiot. You sold yourself to Voldemort" roared Sirius. Pettigrew cringed at the very name. "You SOLD LILY AND JAMES TO VOLDEMORT!! After all we did for you, you had no friends, so we took you in. WE TRUSTED YOU!" By this time Sirius had his wand out, pointing it straight at Wormtails chest. "WHY DID YOU DO IT?" At this Wormtail broke down.

"He, he offered me so much more in life!"

" That’s NO reason! FOOL!" shouted Sirius. Pettigrew backed into the corner of the street. Suddenly he had his wand out. He backed into the wall. All Sirius saw was Wormtail muttering out of the corner of his mouth, and then suddenly he was gone. The street blasted apart, and Sirius saw a tail disappearing down through the ground. He heard people screaming, his head spun, he couldn’t move, everything else was moving around, his vision blurred, he was falling, everything was over. The Ministry of Magic showed up, took Sirius by the arm and shoved him into a MOM car. They sped off. Thought’s were racing through Sirius’ mind. He didn’t do it. He tried to scream out. Nothing. He tried again. Nothing. He was innocent. Once again, for the second time in one night, he broke down sobbing.
