When Remus came into the room, he saw James and Lily arguing and sirius looking at them with eyes full of excitement, like he was watching a Quidditch game between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Right behind the sofa where Sirius was sitting, Petter was looking at James and Lily with disdain… perhaps jealousy? Remus called Peter over to the side of the room and whispered, "yo, what's your deal?"
Peter stared at Remus, clearly awestruck and bewildered, and responded "what the f*** is going on between James and Lily… why is she here all the time now? I feel out of the loop." Jealousy. Poor Peter. Remus always pitied him. He was always being outshone. Now even the girl he fancies is with his best friend. What should he do?
"I have an idea," Remus whispered in Peter's ear. "A prank. And James and Sirius don't know yet." He could see Peter grow excited - lately James and Sirius had been forgetting about Peter and be were becoming more interested in, themselves (Sirius), or Lily (James).
"What?" Peter squealed. Remus shushed him as Sirius glanced curiously in their direction.
"What we should do is not tell anyone about our plan so that it'll be a surprise!" Remus whispered to Peter.
For the next few days, their schoolwork suffered (mostly Peter's) and they could be seen all over the Hogwarts grounds with their heads together. No one thought much of it. They assumed that Peter was struggling with the coursework as usual, and that Remus was helping him. After all, what could prefect Lupin be plotting, especially with only Peter? They were always secondary to the pranks. Even James and Sirius didn't suspect a thing.
One day, as dawn broke, a great clamor could be heard by the marble staircase. Lily had dropped all of her books and gone flying down the stairs. She was about to fall, James could see it, but he didn't know how to save her.
But, right before Lily hit the marble floor, Peter suddenly appeared and Lily fell right into his outstretched arms.
