A/N: I was reading a friend of mine's story. In it, she had a comment about how the Marauders all had a brotherly bond..."minus Peter," as she put it. I argued with her about this, saying that they had to have liked Peter at one point. She said, they wouldn't have a bond because no one would betray they're brother like that. This got me frustrated, because she wasn't getting my point. I said, angrily, "I'm gonna write a Peter fic to show you what he's thinking!" Here it is!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. No, really. Seriously, none of this is mine. I know you all think so, but I really didn't make it up Harry Potter. I swear!
Chapter 1
"Ow!'" I fell forward onto the cobblestone walk way in front of the Hogwarts Express. I looked over my shoulder at the person who had just pushed me. He was taller then I was, had dark hair cut short, and grinned smirked at me as he offered me a hand.
"Sorry, mate." The boy quickly apologized. "I tripped myself. Didn't mean to bump into you there. I'm Sirius Black."
I took his hand and he helped me up. "Peter Pettigrew," I mumbled brushing some dust off of my clothes.
"Can I call you Petey?" he asked, a impish tone in his voice.
"No," I said. I hated that name. I grabbed my bags and began to walk towards the train. Sirius followed me.
"So, is this your first year here too?" he asked.
"Yes."
"I wonder what house I'm going to be put in. Do you have any idea where you're going?" he said, very quickly.
"I'm not sure. I don't think I fit in with any of the qualities."
"I'll probably be in Slytherin. Most of my family was, after all. Can't wait. Green looks very flattering on me." Sirius let out a sharp and sudden laugh. I smiled along, but I was actually more worried about where I was going to be put. I wasn't particularly smart. I really wasn't too ambitious. I always seemed to be changing my mind a lot, never loyal to one idea or another. And I was afraid. Always afraid.
"So, you're a Pettigrew. I think I remember seeing that name on my family tree. Do you know if you are related to the House of Black?"
"I can't remember it being mentioned to me." I loaded my trunk and then settled into a compartment, Sirius talking to me all the way.
"Did you know that you're the first pureblood I've talked too since I got here? I can't believe how many muggle-borns go here!" he was exclaiming, when the door opened and two boys walked in. One was tall and had sandy colored hair. His amber eyes looked as if he was hiding something. The other was even taller. His black hair was somewhat mussed, and his hazel eyes seemed to be filled with excitement.
"Hey. Is anyone sitting here?" said the tallest one.
I was about to say no, when Sirius spoke. "Depends. What are your names?"
"I'm Remus Lupin," the sandy-haired boy said. "And this is James... What's your last name again?"
"Potter," James stated clearly.
Sirius looked as if he was seriously considering telling them to find a different compartment. But, he eventually said, "You can sit."
"Glad we have your permission," James mumbled taking a seat.
"Well, it's not like I'm going to let anyone sit with me. I don't want to be sitting with any muggleborns," Sirius said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Do you have a problem with muggleborns?" James suddenly sounded very defensive.
"Yes," Sirius stated. "They're pains. They shouldn't be going to school with us. We're not on the same level."
"So, what are your names?" Remus cut in, obviously trying to change the subject. Though, these days, the muggleborn argument could not easily be ignored.
"I'm Sirius Black, from the House of Black. This is Petey Pettigrew."
"It's Peter," I insisted, but no one said anything because right then the door opened and the most beautiful creature I had ever seen came through. Her grace seemed to make her looks as if she was floating. Her unusually-colored eyes were so expressive I felt as if I could see into her very soul.
"Hi, I'm Lily Evans," said the girl standing next to this goddess. Lily's red hair and green eyes were nothing compared to this girl's icy looks. Her eyes were a cold blue and her hair was shone like a silvery sheath around her face.
"Evans?" Sirius smirked.
"Yes. I was wondering if we could sit with you."
"No," Sirius said immediately. "But thanks for asking."
"Don't be rude," James snapped, standing to his feet. "I'm James Potter. Nice to meet you, Lily."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Come on, Narcissa. Let's go."
"Narcissa!" Sirius called. "Don't leave. I need to talk to you."
"I'll meet you later, Lily," said Narcissa. Her voice rung as a bell might.
Lily turned on her heel and left. Sirius stood up. "What are you doing? You know your parents wouldn't approve of this."
"What?" She looked genuinely confused.
"She's a mudblood, Narcissa. Didn't you ask for her name?"
"No. I forgot." Her voice showed no fear. "I'll be more careful next time, Sirius." She smiled a smile that I would do anything to see again.
"Remus. Let's go. This place reeks of discrimination," James said suddenly, standing up. He hurried out of the compartment. Remus looked at us a moment before following him. Narcissa left later, to find some others to talk to. She apparently didn't want to hang out with a bunch of guys.
Thus, my time at Hogwarts was just beginning, but it never got any better then it was right now.
A/N: Got you there. You all thought he loved Lily for a second, didn't you. Nope. Gotcha! Okay, next chapter will come out soon.
