(i've decided that i will end this book after this year as this book has revolved around vega being sirius' daughter and idk how to really continue that onto the next book, though i will potentially do a bonus chapter or two with sirius' death depending on what you guys want!)
VEGA WATCHED THE SICKENING SCENE, HAND CUPPING HER MOUTH AS HER FACE CONTORTED IN DISGUST.
pettigrew was a very short man, hardly taller than harry and hermione. his thin, colorless hair was unkempt and there was a large bald patch on top. he had the shrunken appearance of a plump man who has lost a lot of weight in a short time. his skin looked grubby, almost like scabbers's fur, and something of the rat lingered around his pointed nose and his very small, watery eyes.
he looked around at them all, his breathing fast and shallow. vega frowned as his eyes dart to the door and back again.
"well, hello, peter," said lupin pleasantly, as though rats frequently erupted into old school friends around him. "long time, no see"
"s -- sirius... r -- remus..." even pettigrew's voice was squeaky, proving to be quite an annoyance. vega sneered slightly, glaring down at the pathetic male.
again, his eyes darted toward the door. "my friends... my old friends..."
black's wand arm rose, but lupin seized him around the wrist, gave him a warning took, then turned again to pettigrew, his voice light and casual.
"we've been having a little chat, peter, about what happened the night lily and james died. you might have missed the finer points while you were squeaking around down there on the bed --"
"remus," gasped pettigrew, sweating nervously piling on his pale face, "you don't believe him, do you...? he tried to kill me, remus...."
"so we've heard," said lupin, more coldly. "i'd like to clear up one or two little matters with you, peter, if you'll be so --"
"he's come to try and kill me again!" pettigrew squeaked suddenly, pointing at black. "he killed lily and james and now he's going to kill me too.... you've got to help me, remus...."
black's face looked more skull-like than ever as he stared at pettigrew with his fathomless eyes.
vega's eyes flicked to her father, frown stretching on her face at his vacant expression. she wondered if those hollow eyes would ever again fill with the love she yearned for.
