DISCLAIMER: Since I am posting this on a fan fiction site it is fan fiction... Meaning that it is based on someone else's work (JK Rowling's in this case)
A/N: Sorry for the huge amount of raspberry cheesecake, if that bothered anyone, don't worry, it'll only be mentioned a few times from now on...
Lily (a/n: yes, she is back in the picture now) couldn't quite bring herself to follow the Marauders any longer; she had been feeling guilty enough at joining them after Transfiguration. Instead, she sat with Sarah, who ignored her completely. Instead of listening to Professor Atidris Lily sat thinking about how she had almost yelled at James... maybe, she thought, I was being too hard on him, maybe, if he doesn't curse Snape anymore just for the sake of cursing him, then I'd be able to see him as the person I know he is... Her thoughts continued in this fashion for all of Divination...
James was also thinking about their conversation, but instead of thinking about himself he was wondering is Sirius was ever going to be serious. James quickly decided that Sirius would become the most boring person to talk with if he was settled and calm so his thoughts dwelled upon how Lily had seemed concerned for Wormtail's welfare. He couldn't get off his mind how good-hearted Lily Evans is. His thoughts were completely interrupted by Professor Atidris asking Sirius to read his (James's) palms...
Sirius: "Your life line ends very quickly, in the same place as your love line ends... but another very strong line on the far side of your hand, it looks like your life and love lines continue together after they both ended... only that doesn't happen, does it? Am I predicting an early death with your love," he paused to look at Lily, "but your child living on and being very influential? That's a bit much..."
Professor Atidris: "Let me look at your hand, Mr. Potter!" after frowning over it for a while, "I believe you are right, Mr. Black... most unusual palms, Mr. Potter..."
She thankfully left them alone after that.
James: "I always didn't trust divination..."
Sirius: "We can drop it after O.W.L.s"
James: "Thank Gryffindor"
Sirius: "And Slytherin"
Remus: "Don't forget Ravenclaw"
Sirius: "Or Hufflepuff..."
James: "I get your point!"
Remus: "And while you're at it thank Dumbledore."
Sirius: "and..."
James: "I'll just thank everyone"
Sirius: "except..."
James: "I give up!"
Remus: "Come on, it can't be that hard to learn!"
The three of them continued in this fashion until the bell rang for lunch. Grabbing their bags the trio hurried down to the Great Hall. They were happily surprised to see Peter, now free of bright purple fungi with orange boils in it that had covered his face, free of the twitching legs, arms and eye lids, and he appeared to be able to speak once again.
Peter: "Sorry guys, I realized that you're right, the Dark Arts are well... dark..."
The other three smiled at each other, thinking that they had saved their friend from making a big mistake, but they didn't know the conversation Peter had in the hospital wing...
*flashback type thing... this happened early in the morning in the hospital wing*
Snape: "You're awake."
Peter: "Yes..."
Snape: "Good, because I heard about your interest in the Dark Arts..."
Peter: "Yes, I am interested in them..."
Snape: "So... be the most helpful you can to the Dark Lord, pretend that your... friends... have kept you from joining the Dark Side. Then get the Dark Mark and you can be a spy... The Dark Lord would probably be most pleased with you spying for him, you being close to James, who is close to Dumbledore. You could be one of the most important Death Eaters... Your friends would never know, and the Dark Lord rewards his followers greatly, and punishes those who try to defy him..."
Peter: "I wish to serve the... Dark Lord... he would welcome me?"
Snape: "He would be thrilled by you joining us."
Peter: "How do you know?"
Snape: "I can guess... I am going to join them as soon as I am old enough. Anyone would be happy for a spy who has good connections close to their rival's strength..."
Peter: "I will join..."
Snape: "He will make you strong..." He left, leaving Peter to prepare to appear convinced that the Dark Side is bad.
