Re: Peter/James
Peter didn't know where to, but it supposed the start was a good beginning. The only way to make James understand. "Remember that fight right before your wedding? The one when Lily almost got killed? Bellatrix recognized Sirius, because..." He stopped. Was there any need for an explanation? They were supposed to keep their identities secret, but Sirius was obvious in everything he did. "Well, after that, it didn't take her long to figure out who the others were.
"I guess they needed some time to figure out which of one of us they could get to. I think that's why they killed Remus' parents, isolate him and get to him. Of course they didn't know that Remus was a werewolf and how hard was to corner him," Peter said with a tiny smile.
"About two weeks after their funeral, Bellatrix finds me. It was her and Rodolphus. They threatened me. I told them I had no idea what they were talking about, that Sirius and I weren't as close now that school was over. They left." He'd been so proud of himself, so sure that he'd pulled it off.
"I was a fool to think that it'd be over. First week of March, I got a picture of my mother at my grandmother's. They were in the back garden, with a lot of family, many of which don't even know about magic. Bellatrix is there again. I tell her to piss off, because they wouldn't go after everyone. Right after that, my grandmother has an accident, almost got killed by a bus. She wasn't sure what made her stepped into the street even though the bus was right there. They had put her under the Imperius." He closed his eyes for a moment. "Bellatrix made it pretty clear that it wouldn't been just her. I have aunts and uncles, cousins, my grandparents, their siblings. I had to protect them. I started giving them information. I was very vague at the start, nothing that they could really use, but they got worse and worse."
