𝗦𝗘𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗬'𝗦 𝗗𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡, his three best friends, Ron, Cassie and Hermione were very surprised.

Ron opened his mouth wide.
"Harry! What did you just do?!"

Cassie shook her head in disbelief. "You attacked a teacher!"

"I don't care."
"Now tell me more about Peter!" said Harry thrusting his wand at Black and Lupin.

Professor Lupin seemed to be sitting at a table and answered,

"He was at school with us. We thought he was our friend."

Harry shook his head.

"Nooo he didn't. I thought so too, until you mentioned Pettigrew on the map!"

"The map was lying then !!"

Black, who had been silent shouted.
"The map never lies!"

"Pettigrew is alive!" Black continued. Black then pointed at Ron who was sitting with Scabbers.
"And he's right there!"

Realizing he had been pointed at, Ron dodged. "Me?! He's a mental!"

Black clucked. "Not you, your rat!"

"Huh? Scabbers has been in my family for⎯ "

"TWELVE YEARS?? Curiously long life for a common garden rat!!!!"

Black after interrupting Ron's words then took a step towards Ron and Scabbers.

"He's missing a toe, isn't he?" asked Black.

"So what?!" Ron replied still did not accept.

Harry who had been watching earlier answered. "All they can find of Pettigrew is his..."

Cassie opened her mouth after she realized something. "Finger!"

Black who was already next to Ron now shouted again.

"Dirty coward cut it off so everyone would think he was dead."
"And then he transformed into a rat!!"

Harry thrust his wand at Black.
"Show me."

Black turned his head and tried to take Scabbers from Ron. However, Ron still tried to hug Scabbers the rat very tightly.

"Give it to him, Ron."

"What are you trying to do with him!"

"COME ON!" Black grumbled trying to take Scabbers from Ron.

Now, finally Black had managed to take Scabbers from Ron. Black lifted that garden mouse high.

Ron with his injured leg tried to stand but was stopped by Hermione and Cassie.

"SCABBERS!!"

Cassie held Ron's shoulder.
"Shut up!!!"

Black releases Scabbers on the table to bewitch him. However, Scabbers the rat ran away running here and there.

Professor Lupin and Black try to bewitch Scabbers to prove that Scabbers is actually Peter Pettigrew.

Past worn desks, old chairs, harpsichords, Scabbers attempts to avoid Black and Professor Lupin.

Scabbers barely managed to squeeze through a small hole in the wall.

But finally, Black's magic worked and made the little mouse turn into a fat man.

Cassie, Ron, Hermione and of course Harry gasped when they saw him.

"Jeez." shrieked Cassie.

Professors Lupin and Black walked over and pulled the fat man from the little hole he was trying to escape through.

After a successful pull, the two friends pushed Peter and thrust their wands at him.

The chubby slender-haired man with rat-like teeth raised both hands, with an impassive look in his eyes.

"Remus?" Call Peter.
"Sirius! My old friends~"

Peter tried to run away under the guise of hugging his old friends, but failed because Sirius and Remus pushed Peter.

Peter Pettigrew looked around in his ratty way. His eyes then fixed on Harry Potter on the side of the wall.

"Harry Potter! Look at you...you are very much like your father!!" Peter said in a soft tone.

Pettigrew tried to touch Harry who gaped.

"Like James...he used to be my friend⎯ "

"Don't touch him!" Cut Cassie positioned herself protecting Harry.

Pettigrew who saw Cassie the brown curly haired girl smiled.

"You...you look like Lily...she is my beautiful friend.."

Black walked quickly and tugged at Pettigrew roughly.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THEIR NAMES!!"

Pettigrew ran screaming to hide behind the harpsichord.

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THE NAMES OF JAMES AND LILY IN FRONT OF HARRY!"

Remus Lupin thrust his wand with his sharp gaze.

"You sold James and Lily to Voldemort, didn't you?!"

Pettigrew closed his eyes as if he was crying. "I do not mean it..."

Pettigrew opened his eyes wide.
"The Dark Lord...you have no idea the weapons he possesses!"

"Ask yourself, Sirius! what would you have done?" Pettigrew said pointing to Black's face. "What would you have done..."

"I WOULD HAVE DIED!! RATHER THAN BETRAY MY FRIENDS"

Taking his chance when Black is angry, Pettigrew sneaks under the piano to escape.

Lupin who realized it chased after Pettigrew.

Pettigrew was almost out of the old room, but finally Harry stopped at the door.

Pettigrew quickly took hold of Harry's shoulders and whispered in his ear.

"Harry, James wouldn't have wanted me killed! Your dad⎯ your dad would have spare me!! He should have shown me MERCYY!!!!"

Black grabbed Pettigrew with his fury and threw the evil man to the ground.

"Should have realized if Voldemort didn't kill you, WE WOULD!!!"

"TOGETHER, SIRIUS."

"NO!" Harry interrupted loudly to prevent Professor Lupin and Black from casting the spell.

The Professor let out a shallow breath. "Harry, this man.."

Harry walked over determinedly.
"I know what he is. But we'll take him to the castle."

Pettigrew put on his sulky face again, he dropped his knees to the floor and tried to touch Harry's feet.

"Bless you boy, Bless you.."

"Get off!" Harry looked down at Pettigrew with an angry look.

"I said we'd take you to the castle."
"After that, the Dementors can have you."

Hearing Harry's firm decision, Pettigrew felt frightened and bit his sharp nails.

Finally, after Harry talk and the meeting of three old friends, now everyone came out of the Screaming Shack.

Together with Harry and Black who actually have a angel heart, Ron, whose leg was injured, seemed to be demanded by the two of them.

Meanwhile, Cassie and Hermione walked behind them.

"Sorry about my bite earlier, maybe it hurt a little." Black said apologetically to Ron.

Ron frowned.
"A little? You almost ripped my leg off!"

Black chuckled. "Sorry. Usually, when I turn I'm a sweet dog."

"Oh! Even you know? James always wanted me to make that change permanent."

Black stopped his steps and his words made everyone stop and pay attention to what he was saying.

"I don't mind the tail, but the fleas? Oh, no!"

Harry just laughed sweetly at Black that is his godfather.

Just as they was about to climb out of the steps of the Screaming Shack, Black turned his head back.

"By the way, you two are Harry's friends too?" Black asked Cassie and Hermione.

Cassie and Hermione glanced at each other and smiled at Black. "Of course."

Black raised his eyebrows.
"Harry, you're good at finding woman best friends."
Teased Black winked at Harry.

Harry just laughed shaking his head. "They are my dearest friends."

"Sure. Oh you, the one in the green jacket, what's your name?"

Cassie chuckled at Black's question to her. "I'm Cassie Diggory, Mr."

"You are the daughter of Amos Diggory?"

"Absolutely."

"Ms. Diggory, you remind me of Lily."

Hearing Black's words, Cassie's steps suddenly stopped. She smiled warmly, "Thank you.."

Black just chuckled at his conversation with the four teenagers.

"Ms. Granger."

"Yeah?" Hermione's response tilted her head.

"Remus was right, you have the aura of the greatest wizard of the future."

Hermione smiled warmly.
"Thank You."

Black nodded, as he walked now he turned his head to Ron.

"Hey, you're Mr. Weasley, right?"

Ron turned his head. "Y-yes, of course.."

Black smiled. "Weasley. I find a lot of pure-blood people look down on orange haired people...but not me."

Ron looked down with a sad look.

"Hey, Weasley." Black's soft call made Ron raise his head.

"Weasley is our king, don't be sad."

Hearing Black's kind words, Ron's sadness faded into a happy smile.
"I-I...Thank you, Black."

"You're welcome."
"Oh yes, Harry."

"Yeah, Black?" Harry's response was still running demanding Ron.

"Your eyes, your eyes are like your mother's. Your personality, your personality always reminds me of James."

Harry chuckled, "Everyone always says that, and..." he looked down.

"I miss them."

Black nodded sympathetically. "We will always miss them both."

Harry smiled looking at Black on his right.

"Thank you, Black. You will always be my family."

Black nodded tapping Harry on the shoulder. "I will always be with you."

"Always."
