This is for my sister's awesome competition on HPFC (Marauder's Era Competition). Round 3 - Peter Pettigrew gets a detention.

I used all five prompts.

Marauder's Logic

Peter had memorised the plan. He was to transform into a rat, while his friends hid under the invisibility cloak. He was going to scurry under the door into Slughorn's office and while his back was turned, snatch one of the bottles of Amortentia he kept hidden in the cabinet by the window.

Sirius patted him on the back and James gave a thumbs up. Remus just looked bored and disapproving.

Without any more words exchanged, Peter transformed into his animagus form. He ran towards the small crack at the bottom of the wooden door and scurried straight through into Slughorn's offices. Slughorn was sitting at the desk eating some chocolate and humming away to the music he was listening to.

Peter's eyes darted to the shiny cabinet in the corner by the window. He headed over there and watched Slughorn. It took a good five minutes before Slughorn finally stood up and headed towards the bathroom. Peter took this opportunity. He transformed back into himself and hurriedly opened the cabinet.

There it was, sitting right in front of him.

He grinned and reached out for the potion, pocketing it.

It was then that he realised. How on earth was he to get the potion out again as a rat? Hadn't anybody thought of that? Marauder logic.

Before he could do anything, he heard the bathroom door open and Slughorn was standing in front of him, looking angry.

"Mr Pettigrew," he said. "What are you doing in my office?"

"I-er-uh-"

"-Smuggling a love potion?"

"-Er."

"Detention," Slughorn said. "God heavens m'boy, surely you can't be as stupid as to think you could steal a potion without me knowing."

"Sorry, Sir," Peter mumbled.

"Now what are you waiting for," Slughorn said, clapping his hands. "My bathroom needs cleaning. Get to it!"

Peter groaned and shuffled into the bathroom.

"Oh, m'boy. Take this too, you'll need it."

Peter turned around to take the wooden clothes peg Slughorn was handing him. He was confused.

"What for?"

"To put on your nose," Slughorn said. "For the smell. I just had an Indian speciality curry."

Peter knew this was going to be a long detention.

Five hours later and Peter decided that he would never ever do anything like that again for his controlling group of friends.

A small love potion for James to use on Lily was not worth that kind of torture.
