A/N* Well as a character I really dislike Peter; however I thought I would try something from his point of view. At the start I sort of felt sorry for him, but then as I was proof reading the ending I decided nah I still hate him. I think this shows he'll never be totally loyal to his friends.
Several days after the Students of Hogwarts had returned from their Christmas holiday, James and Peter found themselves walking down the corridor together towards their Charms lesson. Sirius had been rushing to finish his Charms homework in the common room after lunch, that he had, surprise suprise left until last minute; and so Remus had offered to stay behind to help him get it finished and avoid another inevitable detention.
The two were discussing a prank that they had planned, with Severus being the target. Peter secretly relished in these moments, when he was with James or Sirius, he always ended up paired with Remus- not that he didn't like Remus, he was amazingly clever and all but being with James or Sirius made him feel a little more involved.
"—and so we levitate his dinner up above his head, we should really chose a day that there's mash pota—"James ranted excitedly before they both heard a voice from down the corridor.
"Hey! Hey wait up" Lily Evans was running down the empty corridor towards the two, all legs and long swishing hair. Peter felt his mouth drop a little bit, Lily was like seriously hot but he would never say that in front of James-James could hex someone in seconds.
Lily was now standing in front of the two of them, she tossed her hair over her shoulder and smiled a heartbreaking smile, the kind that left all the blood in your head rushing south and separated the men from the boys.
Peter naturally looked towards James since he knew it would be him that Lily wanted, James apparently thought the same as he ran a hand through his hair, saying "Evans he—"
"Actually it was Peter I wanted," Lily told James causing Peter's head to snap up in alarm. What would Lily Evans want with him?
"Hi Peter," she gushed at him sort of breathlessly.
"H-hey Lily, what were you want—"Peter stammered.
"So I was wondering if you could help me with me D.A.D.A homework?" she cut in now twirling a lock of those fiery red waves around her finger.
"M-me? But I'm well crap at Defence?" Peter asked her shocked.
Her expression dropped just a little before she adopted that beautiful smile again. "Oh well then I could help you with yours, and we could sort of work together."
Peter was beyond perplexed now, but he liked the way she had said together. Mustering some of that Gryffindor courage he was meant to have he puffed out his chest and said, "Yeah sure, I guess."
"Oh well brilliant!" she replied practically beaming. James raised a sceptic eyebrow in her direction.
"In the library? Tonight after dinner?" she pressed still beaming.
"Urm, yeah I guess, I mean yeah sure." Peter answered with his own smile. He looked up at James to see him staring determinedly ahead, a grim look on his face; he felt a little guilty, but I mean c'mon Lily Evans wanted him to tutor her!
Lily continued with the hair twirling and then put both hands behind her back "Ok well I'll see you then Peter, get a table at the back out of the way yeah?" 'Oh my God oh my God Lily Evans is hitting on me, result!' Peter thought frantically.
"Bye Peter," Lily smiled waving her fingers in his direction. She looked up at James where they stared at each other steadily for several seconds. "Potter." She nodded in his direction before one last glance at Peter when she practically skipped down the corridor.
