AUROR: You have twenty minutes.
REPORTER: Please pass on our thanks to the Minister for allowing this. While we do not wish to delay his, already far overdue, imprisonment, we believe that Mr. Pettigrew has cause to answer the Wizarding World just why he did what he did.
AUROR: ...twenty minutes, starting now.
.
REPORTER: Mr. Pettigrew, you were friends with Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin and the deceased Mr. Potter, correct?
PETTIGREW: I-...yes, I was.
REPORTER: And what would you say your relationship with them were as children, do you corroborate with Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin's statements of being, what was it, ah- all but brothers?
[A lengthy pause.]
PETTIGREW: ...I...yes...we-...we were all but brothers then...back at Hogwarts...
REPORTER: Back at Hogwarts you say? How did things change when you all graduated and left Hogwarts behind?
PETTIGREW: We...drifted. Sirius and James...they moved into a flat together and went through Auror training at the same time, James' mum had been an Auror for a while and they thought it was the coolest thing...
[Silence.]
REPORTER: And as for both yourself and Mr. Lupin?
PETTIGREW: I went to work for the Ministry... department of transportation... Remus, he had trouble holding a job...he was always on the move so we didn't see him much...
REPORTER: And both Misters Black and Potter were preoccupied with their training, yes?
PETTIGREW: Yes.. they had no time for someone like me...

A/N:so I have zero self-control but what else is new? Anyway. I've got 17% of an idea what's going on, 3% of a plot in mind and 80% want to write more.
But, again, what else is new?
(Opinions?)
