Year 3: Chapter 18

Peter looked up as the boys sat around him. He was very aware of the fact Amanda and Branwen had moved further away from them and were whispering happily together. He however, didn't say a word as the boys looked around them towards him.

Remus was the one to speak up though.

"So Peter, you were up early this morning…"

"I know I couldn't sleep that's all, so I came down to breakfast."

"What time was that?"

Peter met Sirius' eye and saw the glint of amusement behind it.

"Seven thirty."

"And was Branwen already here?"

His eyes were now shinning as if he already knew the answer.

"Yes she was."

Peter took another mouthful of his pancakes totally ignoring all the stares he was now getting from his three friends. Remus smiled sideways at him as he piled scrambled egg onto his plate and poured himself some pumpkin juice as the other two filled their plates.

"So did you speak to her?"

Peter smiled at James as he took a mouthful of his own juice nodding at the boy.

"We're going to Hogsmeade together on Saturday."

The pair wolf whistled causing the two girls to look at the four of them, Branwen's cheeks were again shinning with that unique shade of red that was her own and she smiled shyly at Peter, which didn't go amiss by the others.

Sirius leaned across of the table and slapped Peter's shoulder smiling at him.

"You sly dog, pretending that you didn't know how to get a girl to like you and then bam! You're the first Marauder with a girlfriend. I think that means a party tonight boys."

They continued to laugh and joke until the two girls stood and got ready to leave. Before they left though Amanda turned to them.

"Aren't you four coming? We have Defence Against the Dark Arts now and you don't want to miss Ddraig's lessons."

The boys all stood to follow the girls except Peter, Remus turned back to look at him and noticed that white had taken over his body.

"Pete what's wrong?"

"We have Ddraig, you know, Branwen's dad. What do you think he'll do to me?"

The three others laughed as they pulled their friend with them to the second floor and the first lesson of the day.

Yes guys it has happened Branwen and Peter are now dating and Peter has the fun of having to deal with her father, and we all know how much fun it is when boyfriends met the parents. So I hope that you like this chapter anyway.

Jessie I like the idea of a close friendship you're very lucky to have someone like Dave. I suppose me and Nicole use to be like that but now I'm in Uni and she's working full time and engaged so with Donald all the time don't see her very often. As for Sirius and Mand I think they might be a little closer than you and Dave ;)

Lily Nicole Potter I think you may have stumbled onto something without knowing what it is, so I'm not going to give it away but yeah. I agree cold mornings are horrible it was so cold last night I slept with a jumper on so yeah bring on slightly warmer weather.

Firewalker32 Don't worry there has only been one clue so far, maybe two but the clues will become clearer later and then you'll be like OMG that was so obvious (No telling Annie!) anyway thanks for the review, I like nice Peter who turns evil not the Peter who was evil from the age eleven on.

Annie I've already answered your review so I really don't have anything more to say for you. Except thanks for sending the chapters back next chapters on their way to you, and oh yes thanks for the Christmas card it was sweet. And thanks to Av to, I would have sent her one but don't know her email!

Taylin Yes sorry but you have to wait I can't go giving my plot away to everyone yet, but I can assure you that you'll like parts of it if not the whole thing.

Well please review when you're done and more post well before Christmas anyway
