Peter was ecstatic.
Even though he did feel bad about James being cooped up in Gryffindor tower nursing his broken heart with Sirius and Remus opting out of going to the first Hogsmeade weekend in a show of solidarity, he felt no qualms in leavings his friends behind.
They had done it to him plenty of times.
"Did you want to go to Madam Puddifoot's?" Peter asked. He was sure she would enjoy the goodies from the shop. Peter blushed, and they would look like an actual couple.
Hermione glanced at the girly shop and grimaced. She'd rather become a zealot member of Slughorn's Slug Club than go into there.
"Actually, I waz hoping zhat we could go find somezhing to get James' spirits up. I feel so very terrible for him." Hermione replied. She caught sight of Spintwitches and hurried, missing Peter's scowl.
He would not allow his friends to impede on his date when they weren't even here!
Hermione ended up buying two pairs of dragonhide gloves since she didn't want to leave Sirius out and they ventured in Honeydukes to get candy including chocolate for Remus.
Needless to say, Peter was very put out as he nursed a butterbeer.
I detect a hint of bitterness, oui? For those who want an idea of the time period, its about the end of September of the school year.
:.:.:.:.
To Banana Flavored Eskimo, I agree, I believe Hermione had the potential to become another Lily but she had Ron and Harry to balance her out/keep her grounded. Plus I feel like Lily was considered pretty during her childhood versus Hermione's frizzy hair and buck teeth so thats why Lily acted conceited and snobby whereas Hermione was insecure and didnt know how to interact with people her age so thats why she acted the way she did in canon.
