Shower the People
Do De Rubber Duck
Peter Pettigrew doesn't like to take showers.
That is, he likes to take baths. He's very fond of his comforts, and baths – particularly well-heated bubble baths – are very comfortable. They also provide him an opportunity to snack, which is one of his favorite things in the world to do, and to allow his inner child out to play. Quite literally, actually, as he has gathered a formidable collection of rubber ducks over the years.
Peter started collecting rubber ducks (commonly known as rubber duckies) when he was very young. His mother had thought they were cute. Peter couldn't help but agree. His first had been yellow, as was traditional, but over the years, he has branched out. He has rubber duckies in all colors and sizes, from tiny green ducks he can hide in a single hand to giant ducks (or monstrosities, as James calls them) that are covered in pink and white hearts (St. Valentine's gifts from his mother).
Peter takes his baths with his ducks at night. That gives him time to enjoy himself without having to rush to get ready for classes, and he fully appreciates being able to sleep until the last minute in the morning.
The mousy-haired boy likes to soak and listen to his ducks quack as they paddle happily around him. James is usually in one of the shower stalls, invariably singing loudly and off-key. Peter often hums along, but quietly, so as not to disturb the Quidditch hero. Besides, it's more fun to watch the ducks try to out-squawk the messy-haired song-assassin than to try to learn the words himself.
Next: The Werewolf
A/N: So, this one was a real drabble, very short. I admit I'm not overly fond of Peter, so that might have something to do with it. The next one is longer, I promise, though not by much. This is a drabble series, after all. Please review and let me know what you think! 10 reviews gets you the next installment!
