Me: 

(adding on) 

And if one of the hands does land on "mortal peril", does the clock have a 
sort of alarm or anything that notifies the other weasleys? I can picture 
Mrs. Weasley walking by the clock and doing a double-take as she realizes 
Ron's 'hand' is on "mortal peril"

Well, I don't think Sirius was suspected of any crime until the Peter 
incident. He could've easily talked to a few connections and tracked Peter 
down. Or perhaps they just ran into each other by chance. As for it all being 
planned...well, maybe Peter had time to think about it while he was hiding 
from Sirius and the other DE's.  I don't think Voldemort would've helped him 
plan that. I can't see the Dark Lord saying, 

"Now just in case I die and someone comes after YOU I want you to pretend to 
blow yourself up, then turn into a rat and live with a wizard family."
