*Disclaimer: I don't own Black or Potter or Pettigrew.  They all belong to J. K. Rowling.  She also owns Voldemort, although I only mentioned him in the summary.  Okay, I think that's all that anyone could possibly sue me over.  :P

Something About Today

I'm always the one who gets picked on - for not being as brave, or clever, or as good at magic as my peers.  I'm overshadowed by them, great wizards that they are.  I have never had the might or talent that they were born with.  I have always been referred to as the fat kid, the hopeless magician, the timid little boy who hangs around Black and Potter, trying to reflect a bit of their power.  My name has come to mean a near-Squib, or someone who lacks enough backbone to stand up for himself.  I have never been great, never been powerful, never been a part of something big and significant.  But something about today tells me all that will soon change.
