Chapter Four: To Danger or Not to Danger?
This is so not fair. I mean I understand James and Sirius but Remus too? Am I the only one who had not gotten with this Christine girl? Apparently so. But that was all going to change. For once in my life, Peter Pettigrew had courage and I was going to use this courage to my advantage.
I made sure to catch Christine when she was alone because I probably wouldn't have gone through with it otherwise. Walking over to her I felt weightless which was kind of strange since I am a little pudgy. When I reached her at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall both of us were alone. I cleared my throat to announce my presence.
"Yeah?" she asked looking up at me.
"Hi, Christine right?" she nodded her head yes. "I'm Peter Petti-"
"I know who you are."
"Oh, okay well I was just wondering if you weren't busy later maybe we could get together and you know, hang out." I said this all very fast because I was sort of nervous. I felt like I was going to vomit everywhere.
She stared at me in what looked like disbelief. "Let me think about it," she said, "uh… no."
My heart sank a little but I wouldn't give up. She got up to go but I stopped her. "Well then, if you already have plans for tonight how about tomorrow?"
Looking me up and down she said, "I don't think so."
Feeling desperate I said, "How about next week then?"
"How about never."
Then she walked away and I watched her go. Boy, did I feel lousy. I wondered what I did wrong but never found the answer. No matter, she wasn't my type anyway.
Christine's Motto: I get James, Sirius and Remus. You can have Peter.
A/N: Yup, that's the end. Short I know but it was intended to be that way. I hope you liked it. Cheers!
