"It's the truth." Sirius snapped. "Whether you believe it or not, it will still be the truth."
He felt a cold fury at everything about this situation. The evidence was stacked against him, he knew that. He knew that he could prove he told the truth if he either found Pettigrew or he drank so much Veritaserum Remus wouldn't think him capable of resisting. Even outside of Azkaban, there was no way Sirius could escape the trap that Peter had laid for him. The same trap Sirius had accidentally helped him create.
Oh yes, it was Pettigrew's fault. It was Crouch's fault too, for sending him to Azkaban with no trial. But it was also Sirius's own fault. He could never forget that and the guilt and shame twisted his anger into something even darker.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you. I should have trusted you and I never should have trusted that--" He broke off before he started insulting his former friend. Remus wouldn't taken kindly to that, seeing as he thought the rat sacrificed himself to take down Sirius. "But I never betrayed them."
