As a kid, Peter learnt to fake-faint anytime anyone started arguing around him. He saw it on a movie once and taught himself how to do it in his bedroom until his mom heard all the thudding.
Anytime his friends or parents started arguing, Peter would flop to the floor dramatically. He learnt how to made the loudest thud without getting hurt and he USED it.
Eventually, as he grew up, he dropped the habit, until one day in the dorms the marauders had a fight. A big one. Sirius was screaming, Remus yelling, James was stressing. Not one of them was looking at Peter.
That was, until a loud thud came from the corner of the room.
