Chapter Seven
Sirius left Dumbledore's office in a kind of trance. The idea that Remus Lupin, his best friend apart from James, might be killed, was a hard one to accept. James seemed to be handling it better, but he hadn't been as good a friend to Remus as Sirius had. Sirius tended to take a liking to somebody and then pour his whole being into the friendship. That's what made him such a good friend, but it also made it hard to stop being friends with him and would hurt him one day. James tended to ease into friendships, with a little more caution than Sirius. He was concerned for Remus, very concerned, but he wasn't as completely and utterly devastated by his loss as Sirius was. Sirius had put a lot into his and Remus' friendship, coaxing him out of his shell, worrying about him every time he was missing, finding out how perfect he was for their little gang and putting all that thought and research into finding out what Remus was. Now that the little golden headed boy was gone, it was as if he had taken a bit of Sirius with him.
James sighed and muttered the password (Fairy Gold) to the Fat Lady, Sirius followed him, wearily. When they entered the Common Room, there was only one person in it. A small chubby little boy that he recognized as Peter Pettigrew, he had followed James and Sirius around, amazed at their leadership and pranks, and gazed at Remus with awe as he silenced the two boisterous boys with the tiniest twitch of an eyebrow. He looked up happily, hero worship shining from his gray blue eyes. James was all set to walk past him when Sirius, on an impulse, stopped and turned to Peter.
"Hey. You're Peter right? Peter Pettigrew?" Peter nodded furiously. "Cool. Listen, Pete, do you want to be our friend?" Peter nodded again, eyes as wide as dinner plates. "Good, then, you're our new friend. See you later." Sirius stalked off upstairs, leaving a very happy Peter and a stunned James behind him.
right, this is short. but i think it gets everything important in it. also, peter isnt that bad of a guy. right now that is. i think the transformation started arund when james and lily started dating. but anyway. also "It Took You Long Enough!" is taking me long enough. I have MASSIVE writers block. Luckily, my friend gave me an "I love Ron" tshirt that gave me some inspiration. I hope to have it up on Christmas as a gift to all of my faithful(and patient!) reviewers. Luv u all. REVIEW!
