Hogwarts Express: Time Travel

XL. Peter's betrayal

XL. Peter's betrayal

Ron: You're mad... [Annie's eyes shift from Ron's face to his hands, where Scabbers twists violently. As a curious expression befalls Annie, Lupin and Black, as one, raise their wands... when someone else enters]

Snape: Expelliarmus!

"I see you haven't fixed that bad habit of yours of having the worst timing of interference as usual" Evan rolls his eyes

"Greasy git, that wasn't really your best moment was it?"

"Really that when you chose to come in?"

"That was lame"

Different mocks and insults were thrown his way making the man himself frown at his unbelievably bad timing and flush in embarrassment

The wands fly from their hands. The others turn, find Snape standing in the doorway, smiling smugly.

Snape: [Eyeing Black] Ah, vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I'd be the one to catch you.

Lupin: Severus --

Snape: I told Dumbledore you were helping your old friend into the castle. And here's the proof.

Sirius: Brilliant! And -- as usual -- dead wrong. Now give us our wands back. Remus and I have a bit of unfinished business to tend to. [As Black approaches him, Snape puts his wand to Black's neck]

Snape: Give me a reason. I beg you.

Lupin: Don't be a fool, Severus!

Sirius: He can't help it. It's habit by now.

Lupin: Quiet, Sirius!

Snape: [Clicking his tongue] Listen to you two. Quarreling like an old married couple. The creature and the criminal.

Sirius: Piss off.

"Why won't we quarrel like an old married couple? We are an old married couple after all!" Sirius joked trying to ease the tension

"Not now Sirius"

"Okay"

Snape: Witty as ever I see. Tell me, will you be so irreverent when I turn you over to the Dementors? [Sirius falters but quickly recovers] Do I detect a flicker of fear? One can only imagine what it must be like to endure the Dementor's Kiss. It's said to be unbearable to witness. But I'll do my best. [Snape's eyes harden. He gestures to the door]

"Idiot"

"Oh come on go away greasy git"

Snape: After you. [As the others start to go, Annie glances at the table where Lupin has left Annie's wand. In a flash, it's in her hand]

Annie: Expelliarmus! [Snape soars into the air, hits the wall with a thud, and slides down. Ron and Hermione stare in shock]

Hermione: You attacked a teacher. Annie

"That was hella good"

"Nice one"

"As I said good Auror" nods Moody impressed at how well she handles herself in tough situations

Annie looks a bit shocked herself but shrugs, then turns to Black.

Annie: You said Peter before. Peter who?

Lupin: Pettigrew. He was at school with us. We thought he was a friend.

"Peter? Wha-what? Why?" James too shocked to even form a proper question as he stumbles over his words, Annie glares harshly at the man seated with her family as he smirks smugly, Lily was too shocked to even form a word, everyone was as they stared at him shocked, he was the last one they ever expected to betray his friends, he was always shy and nice to people, it came down as a shock
