Authors Note: All these characters belong to J.K Rowling, not me! I only ogle them XD This is my first ever fanfiction – I never dreamt it would be about Peter! It's short, but I hope you like it anyway
Camera
I realised it when the camera clicked. I focused the lens on James and Sirius, laughing together, and snapped another shot. I wondered how long it had been developing, when I had first started to wonder…
When I was a first year, I remember seeing two handsome boys, both with dark hair, both confident and laughing, and I knew I wanted to be like them. So I began to edge myself into the group. Soon we became friends, then the marauders. We were inseperable.
However, something was missing. I was never very good in school, but I wasn't an idiot. As I grew older, I began to reailse that I was the odd one out. Sirius and James were joined at the hip. They were like brothers; they could have even been twins. Remus was even part of the action. In his own quiet, remus-sy way, Moony was as close to them as they were to him. I thought that maybe, maybe their should only be three marauders, instead of four.
For years I had pushed the feelings aside as if they were nothing. I buried them deep within my heart, and pretended they didn't exist. But when that camera clicked on their smiling faces, I realised I could never be a part of that. I would never fit in the way they did. I would forever be the pudgy, to short, blonde boy who followed them around. Noone would remember me.
Looking back, I wonder if I was even the same person. I don't think I was. Peter doesn't exist any more. He's gone, drifted away like all those memories I once held dear. Now all that exists is wormtail, a stinking rat. A withered up man, who's emotions fled the day he took that picture.
Good bye, Peter.
