Now, obviously most of these things would never happen, but I wanted to write something kinda silly and this is sorta what Padfoot and I were talking about when we came up with this idea.
This takes place before Deathly Hallows and after Order of the Phoenix.
Here it is! ENJOY!
Peter closed the door behind him, drowning his mother's voice. Grumbling to himself he carried the silver tray of snacks down the stairs into the basement. Since the rise of the Dark Lord and after Harry Potter escaped his grasp....again have they used this basement as their headquarters. Peter did not mind doing so, infact he absolutely loved being in the center of plots to kill Harry Potter and take over the Ministry of Magic. He liked being where powerful people talked about evil plots. The only downside was the fact that he still lived with his mother. "Take some snacks for your friends Peter, they might get hungry." Peter minicked his mother as he set down the tray. He looked around the room to see if he was missing anything. The basement was semi dark. The few windows were shaded. There was a single coffee table which held the snacks and chairs around it. There was also a small fireplace which Peter and his fellow Death Eaters would use floopowder to get somewhere from Peter's house.
Peter didn't mind the Dark Lord using his mother's house as temperary headquarters for the Death Eaters, the only problem he had, was his mother. "Now Peter, " she start as she came down the stairs. "How many of your little friends are coming over? Is that sweet Sirius Black or James Potter coming over?" She had a terrible memory. Before the Potter's death the Death Eaters would meet in this sameplace, ocassionally. They never met in the sameplace more than four times a year. One this particular night, the Death Eaters arrived and Snape had just been telling Voldemort of the prophacy he heard. To Peter's slight horror, his mother had overheard of a plot to kill someone (they didn't use the Potter's name, the Death Eaters only said "they" and similar references). Voldemort had told Peter is he didn't deal with his mother, he (as in Voldemort) would. It had not been the first time Peter had to alter his mother's memory. Since those days her memory was still on Peter being in school, or just out of school. Peter sighed in fustration, "How many times must I tell you mum? James Potter is dead. Sirius is in Azkaban and Remus, well I don't know where he is and I don't care." His mother came down the last step. The short slightly plump older woman. Her once curly sand colored hair was now white with age. She wore round glasses with a gold chain. She had green eyes and wore a light pink dress. ""Tsk, tsk. That is just too bad Peter. That James Potter was such a funny boy, handsome and so smart. You should've helped protect him Peter. That James was always looking out for you, you should have done the same for him." Peter rolled his eyes. She set down her little tray of snacks and there were several pops, indacating the arriving Death Eaters. Bellatrix arrived first. "Oh Bella! Aren't you looking lovely?" Mrs. Pettigrew said approaching the slightly shocked Bellatrix. Before Peter could stop her she was pinching Bellatrix's cheeks and commenting on how lovely but awfully thin she looked. While she did this Bellatrix gave Peter a 'get your mum away from me or I'll kill her' look. Peter pulled his mother off Bellatrix when the others arrived, including Voldemort. Everyone was silent when he appeared. Voldemort sat down in a large squishy chair infront of the empty fireplace. Peter tried leading his mother out of the room but she squirmed away. She went to Voldemort as if he was one of Peter's childhood friends. "Oh Voldy! How lovely to see you!" She said kissing him on the cheek. Voldemort glared at Peter. "Hello Mrs. Pattigrew. How are you this evening?" He said knowing that even pretending to be nice to her would help get rid of her. "You know," She whispered, "I don't much care for Peter's friends. Bella is awfully thin, Lucious doesn't look like he really likes being your friend, and your awfully thin and pale. Although I do like that Severus." When she made the comment about him, Voldemort, he stood up. "I think it would be best for you to leave us alone Mrs. Pattigrew." Voldemort said in a dangerious voice. "All right then. I see when I'm not wanted. If you need anything I'll be upstairs." She told them. They all waited in silence as she accended the stairs and the doors closed. Quick as lightning, Voldemort pulled out his wand and pointed it at Peter who cowered away, "Wormtail! You had better deal with that woman before I do! If she calls me Voldy one more time I will have to kill her!" Peter felt as if he were a cornered rat (rofl! I thought that one would be funny, since he turns into a rat). "Y-Yes. My Lord." Peter stuttered. Obviously satisfied Voldemort sat down, tucking away his wand. They then we about their current business. Voldemort again was telling of Lucious's pathetic retrieval of the prophacy when Snape apperated into the room. He bows to Voldemort. They all then talked on and on. Peter grew tired and bored, soon fell asleep. It seemed only minutes later when he awoke. All eyes were on him. "Well Wormtail?" Severus asked with a raised brow. Bellatrix was snickering behind Severus. Peter's face grew hot, "I'm sorry, I must have missed it. What were you saying Severus?" Bellatrix laughed harder and some other Death Eaters were getting into laughing fits as well. "I was saying that in order to keep an eye on you, you are to move into Severus's house." Voldemort said with a hint of amusment. Peter's eyes grew wide with horror, "No my Lord! You cannot do this to me! Please! I beg you! I'll do anything!" Peter got on his hands and knees and continued begging the Dark Lord. All the Death Eaters fell onto the floor in laughter, except Snape, who like Voldemort, looked down at Peter with disgust. "You will do so Pettirgrew AND you are to do as he tells you to. You are to leave tonight. That is final and this meeting is over." Voldemort told him in a threatening voice. Voldemort disapperated quickly, quickly followed by Bellatrix. Peter dragged himself up the stairs. Once in his room he found a picture under his bed. Picking it up, he studied it. It was a picture of Peter, James, Remus, and Sirius. Despite the fact that he had betrayed James and Lily, he regreatted it everyday since. He hid the feeling deep within, knowing full well that Voldemort would quickly kill him. He smiled sadly at the old picture. It was their 4th year at Hogwarts. James had only just started dating Lily Evans when this picture was taken. The longer he stared at his old friends, the sadder he felt. Carefully he tucked it away in the desk drawer. As he did so he thought to himself 'maybe, just maybe, I will be able to redeem myself someway that will get rid of the debt I owe Harry and be again with my old friends.' He said goodbye to his mother, who thought he was going to a sleepover at James's house. As he left the house one last time, he had a feeling he would never see the house or his mother again. With a sad feeling he left the home he had known so long and went with Severus.
THE END
I decided to portray Wormtail differently. Now, I know he was WAY different in the books but I kind of like to think that Wormtail wanted to redeem himself for betraying his friends, even though we all know he never really did. Plus, that way we can see a slightly different side of Wormtail. I added the begging part to show that he is still like his old self.
Anyway, I'm tired now. Hop you enjoyed my little fanfic!
