Peter Pettigrew was “posthumously” awarded the Order of Merlin, and Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban without a trial ( PA19). Pettigrew then cleverly framed Sirius Black for the betrayal and his own murder by blowing up an entire street full of Muggles and cutting off one of his own fingers to fake his own death, before disappearing down a drain. A week later they were dead, when Peter betrayed their hiding place to his master. The Potters and their friends didn’t know this, of course, and continued to trust Peter so completely that on Sirius Black’s advice, he was made James and Lily’s Secret Keeper. I never meant it to happen … He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named forced me … He - he was taking over everywhere! Wh - what was there to be gained by refusing him? You don’t understand! He would have killed me, Sirius!” ( PA19) “Sirius, Sirius, what could I have done? The Dark Lord… you have no idea … he has weapons you can’t imagine … I was scared, Sirius, I was never brave like you and Remus and James. Peter was coerced into becoming a spy for Voldemort. Once he was out of school, Pettigrew became an easy target for the Dark Lord as he searched for a way to strike at James and Lily. Peter was a person who was easily influenced by those around him, allying himself with whomever was the strongest. With them, though, he learned to become an Animagus (turning into a rat and earning the nickname “ Wormtail”), helped write the Marauder’s Map ( PA17, PA18), and joined the Order of the Phoenix ( OP9).

He was not as skilled a wizard as his friends, and seemed to hang out with them largely because he idolized them ( PA10).

Peter Pettigrew entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the same time as Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin, a group of friends who came to call themselves the “ Marauders.” Although he was sorted into Gryffindor House with the other Marauders, he was initially a Hatstall, as the Sorting Hat was unable to decide whether he should be a Gryffindor or a Slytherin ( Hogwt).
