🐭 || Peter Pettigrew

Anyway, Peter is moving to my multi-muse, @indiscretus! This is so that I can give him the proper attention he deserves without having to manage 8 billion sideblogs! You may recognize several other old muses who were temporarily abandoned like poor Peter on that blog, as well as some new ones! Thanks for coming around/sticking around guys, you have no idea how much it means!!

“Ok- ok no more, I give! We short folks like to stay close to the ground, thank!!”

               I survived.                                 But oh god, at what cost?

“It’s war, Lils. People are gonna get hurt... But we gotta do this. No matter how scared we are, we have to do this. Or people will keep getting hurt.” He sounded a lot braver than he felt, but at least he sounded it, for her.

So it really was a blessing when the boy's family visited and the youngest son happened upon the furry creature, and offered the starving, lethargic thing a bit of his own meal. Such a blessing, that the rat momentarily forgot its misery and, once it had cleaned up every crumb offered, clambered its way into the young boy's lap and took the first warm, comfortable nap it had known in years. It had spent the rest of the family's stay curled up either with Ronald, or in his belongings, and it was by this very stroke of luck that he happened to be inside Ron's bag when the family left, and he didn't wake up until he was unpacked. He squeaked in surprise at suddnely finding himself in unfamiliar surroundings, very un-rat-ish memories flooding in for a moment before he skittered to the safety of Ron's shoes, clambering up his pant leg to try and get to his hands for the attention he'd grown to expect from the kind boy.

“I take it back. That was much dumber, and you’ve had way too much to drink.” He leaned over his friend, plucking the bottle from his hand. “What is this stuff, anyway?”

Peter wasn’t even sure how Sirius had gotten his hands on the muggle booze, but he’d clearly had way too much of it. “If you’re going to be that stupid, you’re at least going to share.”

“Do you have a plan? Please tell me you have a plan.” His mind was racing too fast, felt too panicked, to come up with one. He’d not been this close to the actual fighting but once or twice, and never, never had he been the one who was supposed to be participating in it. The Order knew where his skills lay, and it definitely wasn’t here.

“You deserve good things, only good things, Padfoot.”

Of course.Of course Peter wasn’t actually entirely sure that was the case. He was all but useless in a fight, and they hadn’t been expecting one. Barricaded in as they were, they could only hope to last until James or Sirius could come for them. They hadn’t been expecting the anti-apparition wards, of course, and as soon as there was a lull in the Death Eaters’s assault, he was going to set about trying to break through those so they could get out of here.  “D’you think you can hold them off on your own for a minute? I think I can get through the wards so we can get back and warn the Order.”

“Gone.”

So now I’m imagining Percy scowling and ignoring this rat because ‘this is stupid’ and then when his family comes to visit a young Ron actually pays the neglected(and probably starved because really, Percy doesn’t like this rat he won’t feed it) thing some attention and Peter decides he adores this red-haired child and clings to him and hides in his bag when the family goes to leave and once they’re back home Ron just looks down and realises he has a rat.

There was a moment after Lily and James’s deaths that Peter dared to hope that Sirius would give him a chance. He was wrong.
