Peter and the Wolf
 
Full moon.
 
Wormtail ran.
 
Each breath burned in his lungs. His sides ached. Sharp pains shot up 
his legs with every step.
 
All that kept him moving was fear.
 
He didn't dare stop.
 
He knew Lupin wasn't more than a dozen yards behind him.
 
He knew from first-hand experience what would happen if he stopped.
 
Wormtail ran.
 
The wolf followed.
 
He chanced a look over his shoulder, saw a flash of silver-gray fur in 
the Forbidden Forest's depths - and crashed into something. He 
collapsed to the ground in a heap of tangled ropes and flailing limbs. 
At first, he was afraid he'd ran into a tree, but relief flooded him 
when he looked up to see the silvery mask of a fellow Death Eater.
 
"Oh thank god oh thank god it's the werewolf he's just behind me he's 
trying to kill me..."
 
The Death Eater inclined his head to the side, a gesture that seemed 
wonderfully familiar to Wormtail, though he couldn't quite place it. *I 
know you,* he thought madly. *I know you!*
 
"Help me," Wormtail moaned. "He's going to kill me!"
 
The Death Eater reached up with a long, lean, white hand and pulled his 
mask from his face.
 
Fear tightened its grip around his heart anew, as Wormtail stared up at 
the face of Severus Snape.
 
"Don't be a fool, Peter," Snape murmured, a look of anticipation on his 
face. "Lupin isn't going to *kill* you.
 
"*I* will."
 
Wormtail scrambled backwards, crab-fashioned - but stopped when he felt 
wet, warm breath on the back of his neck.
 
"Lupin is simply going to have a little - fun - with you beforehand."
