Peter Pettigrew turned to walk down the second floor corridor. He kept his eyes firmly fixed on the ground in front of him as he shuffled along the floor. The last thing he wanted was to draw attention to himself and get picked on again.

"Well, look at who we have here," sneered the well built Slytherin, appearing out of nowhere, to block the scrawny Gryffindor's path. "It's Peter Pimple."

The observing crew of the Slytherin's friends crowed loudly, as William Stewart snatched at the bag that he smaller boy was clutching in his hand, and pushed the cowardly lion to the ground. The bumbling first year slid the length of the corridor on his bottom and the group of Slytherins strutted down the corridor and blocked Peter in.

Tears slid down the youngster's cheek as Henry Little cast a charm to hold the meek Gryffindor in place as the leader the pack emptied the entire contents of the bag onto the floor. Ink wells clattered to the floor and smashed into tiny bits, books landed face down with a thwack, and rolls of parchment went flying in every direction.

"Oi Stewart, back off our friend," yelled James Potter as he rounded the corner to find the group of Slytherins intimidating the quiet boy he shared a dorm with. "Go on, do one before I hex you."

Peter looked on in awe as James glared at the gang, and how their expressions changed from intimidating stares to frightened in the blink of an eye.

William tossed the bag back to Peter and the scuttled off closely followed by his cronies.

James offered Peter a hand and pulled him to his feet and formally introduced himself and his friends to his fellow first year.

On that day Peter Pettigrew went from being the most unpopular boy at Hogwarts to one of the most popular by association, and he couldn't have been happier.
