September 2 – Peter

Someone is calling your name.

"WOOOOOORMTAAAAIIIILLLLLL!!!!"

And I could feel Sirius barreling down the hallway and into me before he even hit. I braced myself for the impact. He didn't disappoint. Then, a moment later, was the second impact that was James, who managed to elbow both Sirius and I simultaneously.

"Owww." I rubbed my head. "One day Remus is going to teach you both how to nicely catch up to someone you know in the hallway," I informed them miserably, although they weren't paying attention. They were already dragging me somewhere. It was the first day of school and I had the feeling that I would have detention by the end of the day. I wasn't going to say anything though, because this is what we did. Detention is just a by-product of awesomeness.

Sirius smacked me upside the head. "Wormtail! Are you listening?"

It was all part of being a Marauder. Bodily harm, detention, ringing eardrums. This was the price I paid – the price we all paid for this. How many people can say that they're willing to be transfigured into a canary for their friends?

Of course, my friends are the best at transfiguration.


A/N: If you're wondering why this keeps changing/are ready to kill me see my profile. Explanations there, I promise.
