AN: Ok, this bunny has been stuck inside my
train for 2 years now. I just want to know of this story is good enough to
continue or if I should leave it at that one chapter. Reviews are greatly
appreciated.

English is not my native language and thus
far this story has no beta and so you have to bear with my mistakes.

The title of the story is a song by the Foo
Fighters. The text doesn�t fit but the name is very good.

So..and now�of to the story.

Chapter 01

Peter paced the
length of his small flat.

�What shall I
do?� , he thought, �I must convince them to make
me their Secret Keeper.�

He still paced.

Suddenly the fire
sprung on, turned green and James Potter stepped through.

�Hi Peter. How are
you?�

�I�m fine.
Everything prepared for your departure?�

�Not really. Lily
and I got a little problem. Sirius doesn�t want to be our Secret Keeper. He
said he would be instantly targeted by Lord Voldemort. He said you�d be the
better choice.�

Peter couldn�t
believe his luck. They wanted him! Him, the small, skinny boy with no
remarkable skills other than turning into a rat. Ok, that could be helpful when
you might need to flee.

Just then he
remembered that he still hadn�t given James an answer.

�Yeah, sure! I�d
be honoured.�

�Great.�, James
said with relief, �Could you come over to Godrics Hollow around 2 pm tomorrow?�

�Yes, no Problem.�

�The Dark Lord
will be so pleased. I need to go to him right now.�,
he thought just as James said his good-byes and left again by floo.

The second he left
Peter let out a scream of joy.

�YES! I didn�t
even need to do anything. What to do now?...Tell him now or wait until they
made me their Secret Keeper.�, Peter said to himself.

�Better do it now.
He doesn�t want us to have any secrets.�

With that said, he
went to his wardrobe and opened a concealed compartment inside it. He took out
his Death Eater garments and put them on. He then touched his wand to his left
arm where the Dark Mark was.

He waited for the
Dark Lord to notice his calling. As soon as he felt the first waves of pain he
Apparated to the side of Lord Voldemort.

�Wormtail. Why did
you call me? I hope you have good news.�

�Yes, my Lord.� ,
he said and bowed down kissing the hem of the Dark Lords� robes.

�They want me to
be their Secret Keeper. The fool of a Black thought me to be the better
choice.�

He saw that his
master was pleased by this.

� How come the
fool accepted this?�

� I don�t know, my
Lord. But I think they thought me to be less targeted by you than Black.
Because his brother used to be in your service. You remember Regulus Black?�

Voldemort looked
at him in thought.

�Yes he
remembered Regulus. He seemed promising, but then again he made that stupid
attempt to quit.�

�Well, Wormtail.
You pleased me. You may return now. But be prepared to come to me again when
you are the Secret Keeper of the Potters.�

�I will be, my
Lord.� , with that he Disapparated.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Peter looked at
his watch. It was ten minutes to 2.

�Just a few
minutes more.� , he thought. He Apparated to the
outsides of Godric Hollow and began the short walk to Lily�s and James� home.
#Just as he opened the front gate of the garden fence, the door of the house
opened and Sirius left the house.

� Hey Peter. Right
on time. Go on in, they are already waiting for you.�

He waved him
through and shut the door after him.

Peter looked
around the house. It was nicely decorated.

He then heard a voice
calling him:� Peter? Is that you? Come on through to the study.�

He followed the
voice and entered the study. In it was a big fireplace and comfortable looking
chairs and a couch.

On them sat Albus
Dumbledore and Lily and James Potter.

Lily was holding Harry on her lap. The little boy was nearly one year old and wanted to find out about the world, or at least how the wand of his father felt.

�Peter! How are
you?�, Lily asked, � we haven�t seen you for a while.�

�Hello Lily.
James, Professor Dumbledore. I�m fine. And I was working. I�m sorry I couldn�t
come over sooner. You look so happy.�

�I am�We are.�

She looked at
James.

Then Albus rose
from his chair and crossed the distance to Peter.

�You know what is
needed from you. And if Tom ever finds out that you are their Secret Keeper
your life will be in danger.�, he said and looked Peter in the eyes.

�I know and I am
prepared to bear this burden.�

Dumbledore nodded
and began to form intricate patterns with his wand and chanted low under his
breath.

Peter, James and
Lily watched him interested. They have never seen the rituals as there never
was a need for it.

Dumbledore started
to glow and the light enveloped Peter as well. He felt weightless and seemed to
float inside the light. And suddenly he saw Godrics Hollow before his eyes. He
saw James� and Lily�s home and then he saw himself. His body seemed to suck him
in and the ritual was over.

�Whoa! That was
cool.�

He took out a
handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his brow.

�I hope you know
what now lies on your shoulders. Keep the secret with you until the thread of Lord
Voldemort is over.�, Dumbledore told him with hopeful eyes.

�Yes, of course I
will. I will keep this secret. James and Lily are my friends.�

�But Sirius
isn�t. And he has to suffer.�, he thought with
glee.

�And now, let�s
leave the happy couple. We don�t know how long they will be alone and have some
quality time.�

Dumbledore�s eyes
twinkled when he said that.

He took Peter by
the arm and together they went out the door.

�Goodbye Peter,
goodbye Albus.�

�Bye you two. Have
fun.�, Peter said an thought to himself �because I will�.

He said his good
byes to Dumbledore and Apparated to his home.

As soon as he
touched down he began to dance around with glee and screamed out his joy.

�YES! I made it
and nobody suspects me. Me, the little, nearly bald, skinny sidekick. But I
will show you all what I can do. I will show you what I am capable of.�

He cackled and hen
started pacing. �What shall I do now? I have to make the world believe that
Sirius was the Secret Keeper.

Well, let�s see
to that later. First I need to see my master.�

And he donned his
Death Eater garbs and called his master.

�Wormtail. Have
you brought good news?�

Peter fell to his
knees.

�Yes, master. I am
the Secret Keeper of the Potters. I can tell you their hiding place.�

He saw that again
the Dark Lord was pleased by this.

�Very good,
Wormtail. You pleased me very much. But I won�t kill them right now. I need to plan their demise. But be prepared to be called Wormtail.�

Voldemort began
cackling and Peter Disapparated to this sound.

He was happy to be
in his Lord�s good graces.

It couldn�t be
long before Voldemort would have his plan and then, at last, he would have his revenge.
