Prologue:

The ring of the bell signaled someone was outside the small house. A young woman in her early twenties answered the door, a startled look across her face, "Where's Peter?" a tall handsome man demanded quickly.

"He's not here, Sirius. He left a little while ago," the woman said, her blue eyes following the dark haired man she knew as Sirius Black crossed through the house.

He chewed on his bottom lip as he searched around quickly through the house, "Sirius, he's not here. What's going on?"

"I had received a letter from an anonymous writer saying that Peter is a Death Eater, and he told Voldemort where James and Lily lived! You know that Voldemort is after Harry, and I was going to talk to Peter about it," Sirius crossed into the living room where a small child, about three years in age sat, her large blue eyes landing on him. She smiled shyly as she ran over and gave Sirius a hug. He picked her up and carried her back to the kitchen. "Kara, do you know where he left too?"

"He said something about needing to speak to Remus," the woman, Kara, explained to Sirius. She felt a pang on her heart, what if Peter was a Death Eater? They were all Order members, and if he was a traitor, if he was discovered as one, she would surely be sent to Azkaban, along with Peter.

There was a large woosh as Remus Lupin stumbled out of the fire place, "Sirius! There you are!" Remus panicked, "Wormtail's just left to fetch Voldemort to go to James!"

Sirius' dark eyes widened as he passed Kara's little girl to her before stalking over to Remus, "I'm going to kill that bastard for betraying Prongs like that!"

Remus nodded before looking over to Kara, whose own eyes were tear filled and her face paling, "Go ahead, Sirius. I'm sure you can take care of it. I'll stay here with Kara," Remus told Sirius quickly. Sirius nodded and Appparated away from the house. "Kara..."

"It's a lie, isn't it?" Kara's voice cracked, "Peter... he can't be a-a-a Death Eater!"

"Nobody saw this coming," Remus assured her, "He came over to my house. I had received the same letter that Sirius had, and I called for Peter to come over. We talked and then he attacked me. I didn't think he was that capable of spell casting! He was never that well in school, and now... I fear the worst, Kara."

"This isn't like Peter!" Kara cried out as she set down her daughter. "Remus... they're going to take Ayla from me and send me to Azkaban because Peter was staying here!"

"He's your cousin, Kara, they can understand that! And he was a member of the Order. They won't do anything to you for it," Remus assured her.

"Peter wouldn't be the first Death Eater that I had been around though, Remus, and they all clearly know it," Kara glanced over to Ayla who had ran off to grab her newest toy to show to Remus.

"I'm not going to say that it wasn't obvious that the boy was a Death Eater, because it was. Peter, you could never tell, Kara, and they can agree to it," Remus assured her as he rested his hands on her shoulders. She nodded, and sniffled up a cry.

It was only a day later when they had learned that Sirius Black had killed thirteen Muggles, and all that was left of Peter Pettigrew was his finger. James and Lily were killed, and Harry Potter was the end of Voldemort. A mass majority of the wizarding community was celebrating. Those who knew James and Lily Potter were mourning however, as were the family and friends of Peter Pettigrew who did not know the truth.

"Remus, watch Ayla for today, please?" Kara asked Remus as he entered their home. "I'm going to visit someone."

"Kara, you're not thinking of going to Azkaban and speaking to Sirius, are you?" Remus shot quickly as he stopped her from leaving the house.

"Oh no, I was planning on speaking to the LeStrange's," Kara said sarcastically, before relaxing a bit, "I need to talk to him, Remus."

"They won't let you right now," Remus told her, "He was just arrested last night after killing someone who was suppose to be one of his best mates, who killed someone who is more of a brother and family to him than his own family, and you think that he'll be in the state to speak to you? Let alone, do you think that Crouch will let you anywhere near him?"

Kara let out a small hiss at the name, "Crouch can suck it."

"Kara! Ayla's in the room still," Remus reminded her.

She frowned before Remus released her, "I'll be back later. Thanks Remus."
