Chapter 2: A New Member Of The Group

The Ixi stopped sobbing, and sniffled lightly. After that, he was no longer sad.

"So, what's your name?" Harry asked.

"Oh oh...I-I'm...P-Peter..." The Ixi shook.

"Could he be...PETER PETTIGREW?!" Harry thought. "No, no...I'm being silly. There are tons of Peters in the world."

Ron then looked at the Ixi, and looked him over carefully.

"Hey, how'd you get 'ere?" Ron asked.

"I was just going to Neopets...I'm not supposed to, but I do a-anyways. W-who are you?" The Ixi replied. "W-wait...RON?!"

Ron stared at the Ixi for a large amount of time, but then he looked the Ixi over and noticed the chipped hoof.

"SCABBERS?!" Ron yelped.

"No, no...I-I'm Peter. Close e-enough though..." The Ixi replied.

Harry then searched his pocket for his wand, but couldn't find it.

"Darn," Harry mumbled. "must've lost my wand while going into this place..."

"I-it's called N-N-Neopia." Peter corrected Harry.

"Shut up, you. You're lucky you even got to talk to us in the first place. Now, GO!" Harry yelled.

"No, don't. He's Scabbers, my Rat...My friend!" Ron yelled.

"He's not anymore!" Harry said.

"STOP!" Ron yelled.

Harry stopped, and sighed deeply.

"He can stay with us..." Harry mumbled. "...For awhile."
