Part 2: ..."James?"
------
Peter gazed doubtfully at his fellow comrades, hunched over behind the pear portrait that would lead them pass the kitchen. He shook his head, seeing James and Sirus load up on the water balloons: a part that would be necessary in their plan.
"Do you think this will work?" Peter huffed at Remus, the only person he thought still was sane.
"It will," Remus said. "I worked out all the spells."
Peter rolled his eyes: why did they have to have the magic expert on their side? At times he wished the other marauders would get in trouble. At least, he thought, it would show them that they couldn't get away with everything.
.........however, the idea of picturing Snape and Malfoy in a flower dress was too grand to pass up. Sirus even promised a finale where the two Slytherins would be topped off with a bonnet. The thought itself brought most people to tears.
Taking in a small and timid breath, Peter began crawling on the floor towards the Slytherin's common room; James leading the way, Peter faithfully in the back incase things went wrong.
He was always the cautious one-could he help it?
"Are we there yet?" Peter moaned after a few minutes.
"Yup," James and Sirus said in unison, practically bumping their heads together as they stopped. Remus waved Peter to "come here", giving him a rather large water balloon.
Peter took the balloon, examining it over as though never seeing it before. He was afraid that someone was playing a joke at him: maybe, just maybe he was dreaming this all up!
Peter closed his eyes, then opened them.
...No, he was still there.
"So, now what?" Peter asked.
"There." Remus pointed towards the Slytherin common room.
"And how are we supposed to get into THERE?" Peter said loudly. The other three marauders had to silence him with a threatening water balloon.
"Just trust me," James said, crawling on all fours towards the entrance. "Sirus, you and Remus sneak around the back way. Peter, follow me."
"Do I gotta?" were the only words that were able to come out of Peter's mouth as he followed James, gazing back once as Sirus and Remus ran around the corner and up the stairs. They were obviously going to try another way to get inside.
Peter wondered how the Slytherins were just going to "let them" in. James knew, of course, but he was to busy talking to himself about his little scheme to be bothered.
Peter shrugged, drifting off course from James just enough to bump into a wall.
Meanwhile, James didn't get far to the entrance as suddenly a shadow loomed over him. Peter, who saw the shadow as well, was about to scream but for some strange reason his voice didn't work.
"Run!" James yelled, and at once Peter picked up his feet to move.
It wouldn't be until he reached the stairs that Peter realized James hadn't followed.
"...James?"
James was gone...
