Chapter 8
Sirius POV:
It was dark. He couldn’t breath. He couldn’t think. It felt like he was under the water. His mother appeared, a permanent smear etched on her face.
“You disgraceful wretch!” She shrieked. It felt like his ears were bleeding. “CRUCIO!”

he screamed. Pain branched out from his spine, consuming him.
there was a shifting around him. A vial was out to his lips and he drank the potion up, not caring what the contents actually were. He was immediately swamped with relief. The pain was reduced to an overall throbbing.
Gentle hands wiped the tears from his cheeks. He looked up into Remus’ eyes and was powerless to stop the sob that tore our of his throat.
“Sorry…” he whispered quietly.
he relaxed into Remus’ embrace deciding, just this once, he would allow himself Remus’ kindness. He drifted off.

Peter POV:
his family had just gotten back from a family reunion in Germany. Peter had enjoyed it but his younger cousins had driven him absolutely insane.
once he got to his room he flopped onto his bed with a sigh, relaxing into the comforting warmth of his blankets. He sat up with a deep breath, and from the corner of his eyes he spotted something. He stood up and grabbed the letter off his desk and breaking the seal carefully.
the parchment had James’ sloppy hand writing all over it. Pete chuckled at his friends lack of order, but he quickly went silent. Dread settled in the pit of his stomach as he read the script.
‘Dear wormtail,
Sirius had an accident. His family went too far. Just… thought you should know as his friend. If you want, you can come to my place. Any time. Anyways I hope to see you soon mate. Hope you’re doing ok. Bye worms.
-Prongs’
Peter fell back on his bed. It was a lot to take in. Worry for his friends wormed it’s way into the pit of his stomach. ‘I’ll go visit in two days’ Peter decided. He shut his eyes, might as well attempt to get some sleep. His dreams were plagued with nightmares.
