Peter found himself in the drama room of C.V.H.S. and he knew he had to be hallucinating. All of his friends were there, and being devoured by werewolves, vampires, and dementors. Including the friends he had made at Hogwarts. Cho was clutched in the arms of a werewolf and Peter jumped at it, tackling the beast and throwing it behind one of the couches. The lycan creature struck him across the chest and threw him into the arms of a vampire. Everybody disappeared but the werewolves and the vampires. "You, young sir, are not to be here.. go back to the world of which you came or you will be torn from your mortality.", the vampiric lord said, his silver hair stretching down his back under a black hood. The creature of the night threw him away, towards where the stage wall should be, but instead there was a rift in time and space that sent him to the cold floor that was the boy's dorm of Ravenclaw tower.
Peter jolted awake and found himself surrounded by Roger, Jeremy, and Zacharias. "Peter, mate, you were just twitching and then fell on the floor. What the hell were you dreaming about?", Roger asked. "Nothing.", Peter replied, getting back into bed and telling them to do the same. They had to go to Hogsmaede tomorrow. Peter went back to sleep and had no more dreams.
"Peter! Lets go! See if you can go to Hogsmaede!", Jeremy said, shaking Peter. Peter got his things together, and left for the departure line. On his way past the witch statue, he realized that he didn't have the signed permission form needed to be admitted to Hogsmaede. I'll just have to sneak in then, Peter thought, hurrying to join Roger in line. He got in between Cho and Jeremy to try to blend in with the rest of the students. Professor Flitwick, who was so keen with his eyes, walked right past Peter and didn't even look at him, but smiled as he went on. "Yes! I'm going!", Peter whispered. When he arrived, he flew into the Hog's head and had a single shot of firewhisky accompanied by a bottle of butterbeer. Cho met up with him when he left the pub and together they climbed the mountain to explore the caves.
The two Ravenclaw ventured into one cave and was interested by sounds of grunting and muttering. After walking for what seemed like ages, they spotted a shadowy figure in front of a blazing fire. Peter tripped over a stone and the figure vanished when he looked back up at it. He could hear the pattering of footsteps. A huge bear dog flew around the corner to his right and tackled Peter. Cho screamed and pulled out her wand. The dog tried to grip Peter's throat but Peter held it back with one arm and grabbed the nearest stone. Smashing it onto the dog's head, he got to his feet and assumed a fighting stance, ready to take on the monstrous canine. The dog lept at Peter but was banished by Cho and flew across the cavern with a yelp. When the beast didn't move, Peter cautiously and quietly slipped over to the place where the dog was, and found a man in tattered clothing. It was Sirius Black.
"Sirius! What're you doing here?", Peter hissed, rolling the man onto his back. "Who're you?", Sirus asked with an extremely raspy voice. "I'm a friend of Harry's. Listen, there are dementors and Aurors down in the main part of town and just dementors at the entrances. You have to get out of here!", Peter explained. "Peter, you are conversing with a well known murderer!", Cho cried, her face going completely white when she laid eyes on Sirius. "I never killed those muggles!", Sirius yelled at the top of his lungs, which still sounded raspy, "It was Peter Pettigrew! He was the Potter's secret keeper! Not me! Peter Pettigrew is a rat!" "And the only rat at school is Scabbers, Ron Weasley's rat.", Peter added, walking over to the petrified Cho and taking her by the hand. "Well Sirius, it was very nice to finally meet you, but Cho and I must be going, the teachers will wonder where we've gone.", Peter said as he turned to the mouth of the cave, "Oh and don't worry. I wont mention our encounter here, though I will have to explain why I have bite marks all over me. You aren't rabid are you? No of course not!"
Peter exited the cave with Cho tagging behind him and they left for Honeydukes to buy some magical treats and other purchasables. They spent a fortune on Drooble's best bubble gum, Bertie Bott's every flavor beans, and bottles of Butterbeer. When they left the store, the owner was slightly richer and the Ravenclaw's pockets were filled to the brim. They made a silent agreement not to buy anything else. Professor Flitwick announced that the train was leaving and that it would not be back for any slackers. Peter and Cho boarded the train with the thought that they'd had enough excitement for one day.
Peter, Roger, Zacharias, Jeremy, and Cho all returned to the common room and emptied their pockets into their trunks. Peter came out and plopped down onto the couch and laid down. Cho had apparently gone to sleep in her dorm because she didn't come out. Peter dozed off and dreamed of more vampires and werewolves.
Peter woke up at five o'clock on a Saturday because a small girl thought it might be funny to prod him after he had been sleeping so long, just to see if he was still alive. When she noticed he was awake, she ran away giggling. Damned first years, Peter thought, as immature as freshmen. Peter rose from the couch and went to his dorm to satisfy his thirst with some refreshing butterbeer. When he reappeared in the common room, he nearly dropped his beverage due to a howling noise that shot through the air like his nightmare had become reality. Peter rushed to the window and peered outside. Hagrid was trotting across the grounds to his house with the Minster Cornelius Fudge and Executioner Mcnair following him. Crap! I forgot! Buckbeak is going to be killed! I have to stop them, Peter remembered harshly, his eyes going wide with shock. He guzzled down the last of the butterbeer and rushed to the entrance to be stopped by Cho.
"Where do you think you're going?", she asked with a raised eyebrows. "I'm going to save Buckbeak. He's innocent and they're going to kill him!", Peter exclaimed. "I'm going with you then. It's much more exciting than being mentally stripped by Zacharias over there.", she replied, nodding at Zacharias Smith, who was staring so hard at her that if he were to be a pyrokenetic he would have burned off her clothes. "Okay let's go!"
Along the way, they picked up a cursing Malfoy, who had a red nose and was extremely furious, Cedric Diggory, Neville Longbottom, and Pansy Parkinson, and rushed towards Hagrid's cabin. They hurried across the grounds and got just close enough to see Mcnair lower his ax on a solid object. "No!", Cho screamed and buried her head into Peter's shoulder, tears leaking from her by the gallons. "Bad luck, Peter.", said Cedric, looking at the floor and sighing deeply. Everyone was saddened by their lack of speed but the two Slytherins, who were smiling rather widely.
"YOU GIT! YOU CAUSED THIS!", Neville cried and unholstered his wand. He sent a sloppily conjured stunner at Malfoy. Malfoy easily sheilded himself from it and was hit by Peter who threw himself at Malfoy. The wind was once again forced from Malfoy's frosty lungs and the Slytherin passed out. Pansy jumped at Peter but was hit with an incendinary spell from Neville which set her robes on fire, and Cedric stunned her. Cho walked over and extinguished the fire before it reached Pansy's body. Together, they all carried the two Slytherins to their common room entrance.
