... to know where he's hidden them?" "Of course not but you sounded like you were telling them the prophecy on purpose. It sounded like you were betraying Lily and James." Ginny blanched. Her face got fiery red. "I will not allow you to compare me to Peter Pettigrew!" she said passionately. "How can you even think I'd betray them?" Remus remained silent. Her eyes darted around, wondering why he wasn't arguing back before she realized what she'd done. Remus now took a step back, loosening his arms and letting them fall. He sat. "Peter. It was Peter." "No, I – " "Don't lie to me Ginny!" he yelled, standing up again and pointing a finger at her. "You've been keeping too many secrets from me and I won't have it anymore. Peter betrayed Lily and James then, didn't he? It makes sense. I don't know why I didn't think about it before. You used to tiptoe around him like a small child around the bogeyman." "It doesn't matter anymore, he's changed." "So you think. What happens if he becomes their Secret Keeper again?" "He won't. He's got courage now." "Courage doesn't mean loyalty," he said through his teeth. "What's that supposed to mean?" "Nothing," he retorted icily, turning his back on her. "You don't think I'm loyal? To Lily and James? Or to you?" Remus glared hard at her but said nothing. "Fine. I'm going to bed." She went into the closed off room where they kept their sleeping bags. Remus stayed up for a long time after that. Peter had always been the weak one. Ginny was never loyal ...

If not checked, Peter would betray Lily and James again. She didn't love Remus, she loved Harry. Everything she did was for Harry. Harry wasn't a werewolf. Peter could be taken advantage of any moment now. He would be the first person they targeted. Harry was brilliant, Remus could never prove his worth to her. He would always be second best. Taking the box with the ring inside of it out of his bag, he placed it in Ginny's. He now felt silly for yelling at her. He wanted to take it back but things were different now. In the morning, Ginny wrapped her arms around Remus. He held her close. "We've never fought like that before," she whispered. "I know. I'm sorry I yelled at you." "Me too." "Let's have breakfast. You stay here and start and I'll go into town to pick some things up." Ginny nodded. Remus left and Ginny set the table and waited. She realized he'd really left before the sun rose high into the sky, lighting up the entire interior of the tent, but remained seated as if in a trance until it dipped down below the horizon again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter 42 – You Killed Us "You did not betray Lily and James," she said to herself. She was lying in bed like she had done every evening after Remus had left. Remus's words were ...
