Call me Dawn (she/her). age 30+. This is a sideblog to @vivaciousandcharming and tbh if you don't write with lily (or at least interact ooc with me if our muses can't really meet) then you don't get to play in the sandbox with Peter. sorry, not sorry.
ngl peter has thought on more than one occasion what snape's hair tastes like. like, is all the extra grease in his hair seasoning?
peter is not branded with the dark mark until he delivers the potter's location to voldemort. before then, it was too risky to brand him, as he was spying. he needed as few tells to link him to voldemort as possible.
peter as scabbers sitting in the back of that fuckass ford angela while ron and harry fly to school thinking "omg these two are sooooo stupid jesus christ harry is james. wait is that the whomping willow???? FUUUUUCK!"
on spying...
this is very much married to my own interpretation of lily (@vivaciousandcharming) and what i'm doing over there, this is a conjoined headcan. but most of the world did not know harry's sex for weeks after his birth. nor neville's.
dumbledore advised lily and james and frank and alice to keep it a secret, the better to protect both families. the birth dates were also kept a secret.
on the potter side of things, sirius was the only one of their friends who knew for a good bit, he was harry's godfather. lily and james go into hiding officially a little bit after harry's birth, but it's not deep hiding. they are protected by layer after layer of enchantments, but it's not the fidelius charm yet.
voldemort turns peter in september of 1980. shortly after, after meeting harry for the first time and attending order meetings, he drops his first bit of of information for voldemort: the sexes of the potter and longbottom babies, their names, and birthdates.
but voldemort is prudent, and frankly, two fuckass babies can wait a bit on his quest for dominance. the other war efforts demand his attention now. he only wants to murder one family if i can help it, and somehow turn the other family to his side.
so peter watches, reporting what he can on both kids/parents. mostly he has access to harry, but he learns things about neville too. even better, he has access to other order members. that period of several months where order members are dropping like flies? yeah that came about based off of intel peter gave.
all the while the babies are growing, and voldemort is coming closer to a decision. or rather, he's becoming more confident in the choice he made from the beginning. because it was always going to be harry, the half-blood, he marked as an equal. his parents were more exceptional than neville's after all. and he was born quite literally as the seventh month died too.
once he makes his final decision, peter has one last bit of information to give. the location of the potter house once their under the protection of the fidelius charm. peter gives it three days before he spills the beans. four days later, voldemort makes his move.
on "the prank" and how peter used it to his advantage years later...
i am of the firm belief that the prank in fifth year caused a rift within the group. one that wound up patched, but left scars on the friends. whatever sirius's intentions with telling snape how to get past the whomping willow, the ultimate result is that sirius was willing to expose his friend for a chance to get back at a school rival. he was even possibly willing to use that friend to kill said school rival, an act that would have gotten remus thrown from the school. and maybe sirius wasn't thinking that far ahead, teenagers are fucking stupid after all. doesn't change what could have happened.
now, PoA tells us that there were near misses on the full moon adventures:
the problem with this particular near miss is that remus's secret is exposed. snape sees him transform. it's a huge violation of trust. so there's some falling out. i don't think it lasts long though, bc by remus's own admission, he acted pretty cowardly regarding his friends, and he felt so lucky to have any friends, he probably would've shoved his anger down. and generally speaking, he has pretty good friends. they legit risked azkaban to make something so painful just a little bit bearable.
but the damage is done. and years later, peter sees his chance. he will find ways to bring up what sirius did when he's with remus. it always feels natural, never shoehorned in. it's probably pretty easy to do, the order photo moody shows harry has remus standing a way away from lily, james, sirius, and peter, so by 1981, we can assume remus is feeling separate from his mates.
with sirius it's even easier. there is no one in the world sirius loves more than the potters, he's probably thinking a lot about who the spy might be. and using remus's lycanthropy is just too easy. after all, voldemort is wiling to work with werewolves. technically, voldemort is offering them much better terms than the ministry. so it's natural that remus might be turning to him, right? "oh i'm sure remus doesn't mean it but he probably resents james supporting him financially. you-know-who is offering remus real independence. and he probably never got over what you did in fifth year."
the trap is set, and it has dire consequences.
remus talking about how james (and sirius) were the best in their year, the most clever, and sirius re-affirming james's brilliance by stating he was good at literally everything he tried. lmao. peter had such an inferiority complex around those two. he loved them so much, was grateful towards them in a way that was deeply unhealthy for being friends with him. but hooo man was he jealous too. he thought "why can't i be like them" so much.
while he is pathetic, peter does have some game. he manages to manipulate sirius into mistrusting remus to a fatal degree. he deceives dumbledore for over a year with his spying, probably planted seeds of doubt in the minds of other order members regarding sirius and remus, so that when everything hits the fan, order members aren't completely blindsided by sirius's apparent betrayal.
what's more, he, a man who is supposed to be dead, convinced bertha jorkins to go on an evening stroll with him in a foreign country. this feat impressed even voldemort. i don't think peter is capable of casting an effective imperius curse, so that persuasion was all him.
with barty junior's help he overpowers alastor moody and helps incarcerate him. he also (with voldemort's help) keeps barty senior under control for months.
and even though he needed a ridiculous amount of help, he still managed to become an animagus.
peter is bad at sex. like, really bad. but he can get you over the finish line, you just have to tell him how to do everything, every time. he has zero confidence in his skills and there's 100% a performance anxiety thing going on, which makes him forget things he's already done. plus everyone is a little different when it comes to sex, so how is he supposed to keep all the preferences straight? dude can't even admit he's bi.
@slithair from this
He had knocked. Twice. But there was not much time to wait for permission to enter. The Dark Lord liked to keep a schedule and it didn't matter whose home he occupied, he was king. If Peter had to wake the Malfoy patriarch from sleep, he would need to get on with it.
But what he found was something else entirely.
It's a normal thing, masturbation. Pretty much everyone has done it, but Peter is surprised to see someone so put together engaging. Didn't he have a wife? Wasn't it her job to satisfy? Either she wasn't up to the task, or this was a spontaneous act...or...No.
He sees it then, a familiar self-loathing and shame. Emotions Peter feels and sees in himself all the time. Amusement courses through him and he files this information away. Perhaps for some future use.
"In a few minutes you will be expected at the meeting downstairs," he says in his typical squeaky voice. "You will need to put yourself together," mousey brown eyes flicker down to where a hand vanishes beneath pants. "Do you need help?"
@crucificted from this
Never one for combat, Peter does not resent being sent into the field. He knows he would likely die or be captured in any case. What is left of the original Order would consider him an incredible get. They'd love to make him answer for all the blood on his hands.
Assisting the other Death Eaters with menial tasks is not so bad. It's something he's become good at, after tending a half-dead Dark Lord for months before restoring him to his proper body. He gathers useful information about the others besides.
Sometimes he's used that information to stir the pot. All for his own amusement.
He lets out a squeak though when Rodolphus grabs him. Now here was a violent and unpredictable man. What had been done to the Longbottoms had been heinous. Peter wondered was fourteen years in Azkaban had done.
He lowers his eyes in submission.
"It is an honour to serve the Dark Lord...in whatever way he requires."
peter is a second-generation pure-blood, and he very much has a complex about it. his parents were both the first in their family lines to be considered as such, and they would've expected peter to marry another pure-blood and have pure-blood babies.
they would've insisted it wasn't because they hated those of "lesser" status, but that they wanted future generations to have the best chances (reader: they were bigots!).
peter himself is pretty neutral about blood status in general, but he is jealous of those who are more established. sirius is the heir for several years to a very old sacred twenty-eight family. james, while not a sacred, comes from a very old magical family and has plenty of status.
peter wants what they have. badly. it's partly why he hero-worshiped them.
voldemort passing peter around to death eater houses so his followers can babysit him and also so he can punish said followers for not looking for him tbh.
when ARE they going to hate fuck is my question btw
as soon as the no homo clause is activated!
lucius' eyes remain on the glass, watching as it spills before being crumbled into fine dust. lips press into a fine line, before the left of them lifts half-heartedly. "you seem to think that i care for what's inherited. unwise." lucius murmurs, lifting the end of his cane before his wand becomes unsheated. with a wave, the liquid rises from the fibers, only to splatter against peter's clothes with a flick of malfoy's wrist. "i so wonder if the dark lord would rather have the ministry of magic in his hands, or the secrets of a young teenage boy. one must imagine he'd rather the first."
He cannot help the heat that rises to his face. And he feels a little stupid as the wine hits his person.
Okay, more than a little.
He is once again a stuttering fool, the one his friends merely tolerated. The one the Dark Lord has never looked at without contempt.
It takes a few tries, but eventually he's able to preform the Vanishing Spell required, and his robes look like nothing at all had happened. It's embarrassing that it took more than one try.
"Y-you and I b-both know how fixated the Dark Lord is on Potter," Peter's voice squeaks. He flushes further. "Your Ministry connections seem to have done nothing to bring the Prophecy closer to him. How many more of your failures will he tolerate?"
it takes more than simple insults to anger lucius malfoy. he'd gone from an extremely sensitive child to an unfeeling monster, a side effect from being raised and beaten by his father. there were few things that could get under his skin; his son, his wife, and his loyalty to the dark lord. peter's comment earns a subtle eye twitch and a shift in posture, shoulders tense and rounded.
" the silver hand is an improvement, pettigrew. now you have something to distract from your ... everything. " lucius leers. " i give what you cannot; wealth, secrets ... i'm sure sniffing around weasley's sock drawer earned you much favor. "
@iiscariot from here.
Useless, thick, pathetic. All words Peter has heard a thousand times before. But he was a chess master, he knew how to watch people, knew the subtle signs. He had never been the best wizard, but he was clever enough.
Peter takes in the eye twitch, and considers his words mission accomplished.
"I agree the hand is an improvement."
Peter holds the wine glass out, then turns it over dumping the contents onto the splendid rug. A simple vanishing charm will restore things, but the insult of the act will remain. Then Peter crushes the crystal glass in his silver hand until it is a fine dust. The hand is stronger, powerful. And a reminder to all who look at it just how far Peter was willing to go to restore He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
"How much are your secrets worth, I wonder? How can they compare to my years at Harry Potter's side? I've a wealth of information on the only person the Dark Lord cares about. You couldn't even open the Chamber of Secrets right."
based off of this, and what sirius hears in azkaban, we can assume that most, if not all, of the death eaters imprisoned there knew peter was the spy. this means the three lestranges, dolohov, rockwood, and barty jr. reglus is dead by the time peter turns spy, so not him, and snape didn't know. outside of the azkaban crew, malfoy is a likely candidate for knowing, and then maybe mulciber and avery. mulciber and avery are likely the death eaters who pointed voldemort in peter's direction.
