Just a little drabble written for a challenge requested by With a Midnight Smile. The challenge was to write something based on Peter being Harry's favourite uncle. Please review!
Peter always was his favourite uncle.
Sirius was funny, and Remus was gentle (though baby Harry never got to see him much), and still Peter was his favourite.
Peter smelt of freshly washed clothes and vanilla, whereas Remus smelt of old books and Sirius of outdoors and wet dog. The baby liked Peter's smell better. It was soft and reassuring. When Peter held him in his arms, he felt safe, just like when he was with Mummy or Daddy.
Peter sang a lovely little song which his Mummy had taught him when he was a child, and Harry liked to fall asleep listening to it. Uncle Sirius sang horribly off-key and Uncle Remus didn't sing at all.
Peter made funny faces at him and never shouted. Harry hated it when someone shouted.
Peter never protested when Harry cried and drove Uncle Sirius mad and made Uncle Remus leave. Peter was always there, with a smile, ready to help Mummy with anything.
Peter always was his favourite uncle, and yet he was the one who betrayed him in the end.
