Character(s): Peter Pettigrew
Challenge(s): Hook a Prompt Challenge, 01 (#005 – Marauder's Era)
Peter had never felt so small, yet so significant, than the first time he transformed into a rat.
He was the last of his friends to do it, and when he returned to his human state they confessed themselves concerned he might have blown himself up instead. Peter grinned and showed them their form again, as they'd evidentially missed it the first time.
They still seemed rather surprised when he transformed back, and this time Peter was a little bitter. He'd hoped for exuberance, like when Sirius and James had first successfully transformed, but all he got were strained, still-shocked, smiles.
Maybe it was his form, he thought to himself as he looked his rat form over later and alone. Maybe his friends had been hoping for something…tougher.
Maybe he'd been hoping for that as well, and with that thought his five seconds of fame had vanished.
