            she’d  been  out  for  another  late  night  walk ,  a  chance  to  clear  her  head ,  to  actually  feel  without  the  guilt  that  came  from  worrying  her  friends .  sneaking  into  the  prefects  bathrooms  was  just  an  added  bonus .   (  she  couldn’t  thank  ivy  enough  for  the  password  )   mary  was  on  her  way  back  to  bed  now ,  towel  in  hand  she  dried  her  as  she  walked .  stopping  suddenly  when  she  saw  a  wandlit  figure  round  a  corner .  “  shit ,  ”

peter was out for a stroll of his own, needing a bit of air as he couldn’t really sleep. he thought he heard the sound of footsteps, but his suspicions weren’t confirmed until he heard them stop followed by a resounding curse. stopping in his tracks, he looked at the end of his want and debated putting it out, but what was the point when the other person knew he was there? peeking around the corner he tried to spot the curse culprit, going so far as to call out a quiet, “hello?”

“yeah we lost the match but just barely, i just finished my interview with the scout though and it’s all looking really good. i’m ready for a party to be honest, merlin knows we could use one.”

“good on ya, mate.” peter said in congrats, giving the other man the recognition he deserved. peter could never do quidditch, he knew that much from when james and sirius tried to convince him to play. “isn’t ravenclaw throwing one? i’d be surprised if they don’t but i can’t remember if andie said slytherin was having one or not.”

“ah, there you are.” the boy smirks. beginning to play with the ring dangling from his neck. the ring that bound vincent to peter’s girlfriend. if you could even call her that. despite the evidence, he felt no threat here. andromeda was his, and in the end, there were no winners in this game. “been looking for you.”

peter had been minding his own business, as he did whenever he was alone, when an all too familiar voice tore his focus from his work. he scoffed, smiling to himself, wondering how many ways vince would try to destroy his self esteem this time. taking in a deep breath, he exhaled it in a long sigh, looking up at the smug motherfucker. he did notice the way vince was twirling the ring on his necklace like a school girl, he’d know he’s seen girl mckinnon talking to james, but that only caused his smile to widen, knowing andie wasn’t wearing hers anymore. “have you now, vinny?”

“you can’t trust them with something like that. it would have to be me…or maybe lily. but probably me.” dorcas accepted with a smile. “i’ll make sure only the best is said about you, pinky promise.” she held out her pinky childishly, like a pinky promise could save them all from what the future held. “depends on your definition of interesting. but there are some formations and ideals that we still use now. sometimes you can’t deny the basics.”

“definitely you, lily would be nice but i can’t imagine her not embarrassing me somehow.” he points out. peter leaned forward, extending his hand towards hers, hooking their pinkie fingers together with a large smile plastered on his face. he could appreciate this, the moments of calm and quiet, the one’s that kept them from the happenings outside hogwarts walls. peter actually liked dueling, it was something he was surprisingly good at for being near terrible in the rest of his classes, relying heavily on a tutor in most of them. “you know i’m interested in dueling, if there’s even the slightest bit of a hint into something new or old i want to read it.”

stifling her bout of excited hyperactivity is easier said than done, but it’s made simpler by peter holding her in place. “ sorry –– ” she smiles, this one more proportionate to the size of her face. “ i can leave my bag in your room. ” andromeda nods at a speed that she hopes is more manageable, realizing that she’s probably stressing him out. keeping her eyes on his, she’s hit by a pang of residual guilt –– they didn’t come as often as they used to, but there were still moments where she felt the brunt of what she’d done to him more keenly. she huffs quietly, bouncing on her toes ever so slightly in an attempt to brush it off. she’s eager to see the gryffindor common room again, having almost forgotten what it looked like since the last time she was with him. “ will i get to pet wendy? ” she asks in a quiet voice, raising her eyebrows a little. slipping from between his hands, she laces her fingers with his instead –– an indication for him to lead the way. 

peter laughed when andromeda asked about wendy. he wanted to say yes, but he couldn’t be certain, for a cat she had a surprisingly big personality. the last time peter and andie had been together, she didn’t take too kindly to being sidelined, literally, and embarrassingly enough he had sat her down and told her he was dating andie again and that she needed to be nice. leading the way, he swung their hands a little bit between them, shrugging while turning his head to look at her. “you can try, she’s been informed of my relationship status already but i can’t promise anything.” 

he was both grateful and hated the fact that the gryffindor tower wasn’t very far from andie’s classroom. it was nice because on every other day he was closer to her, but today he actually had to commit to the plans he promised. to keep himself distracted, he knocked his elbow into her arm lightly to get her attention. “how’s your day been before this?” peter asked before giving the fat lady the password.

Truth be told, he didn’t know what he felt about anything anymore. He just wanted to see his friends happy. That was the only thing that mattered to him at the end of the day. They were all young, they all had to make mistakes. Heartbreak was one of the mistakes you learned the most from. Looking at the other, he smiled a little and then stared at the ceiling. “I wanna sit in my dorm and read”

HE KNEW HE SHOULDN’T HAVE but peter always felt responsible for making remus happy. not like it was a chore, he loved doing it and would do it ten times over if he could just to get the man to smile. but he always felt like smiles and laughs and overall happiness he could draw from remus when it was just the two of them was a bit different than when it was all of them together. or that despite peter definitely having close to zero confidence without the boys by his side, he’d go give someone a piece of his mind like a middle aged mother for him. “you aren’t going to do anything? why not?” peter’s features twisted in confusion and concern, thinking maybe it was why he seemed upset about something. “what if we do something later? or tomorrow even?”

“i cancelled them. not feeling right, y’know?” she shrugs, taking one out of the pack and using her wand to light it. it was naive to think peter didn’t know, by this point it seemed everyone did. “sounds like you’re a bit behind on yours, any ideas?”

HE SHRUGGED IN RESPONSE to both her questions, taking the pack of cigarette’s back from her and lighting the one already in his hand. peter took a quick drag from it before exhaling upwards, letting his head rest against the back of the couch. “you do you, T.” he ceded, “nope, none. but i have a feeling a normal date is only going to disappoint.” picking his head up, peter gave her puppy eyes and a pout to match, “you wanna help me?”

andromeda - that did certainly check out. “should we say our goodbyes now?” doe teased before playfully rolling her eyes. “you want my help thinking of a gift for andromeda? i don’t know if we like the same kind of things but i can try.” glancing down at the text, she rose the book to show him the cover which read Magical Combat Style and Battles of the 1300s. “not for school, just for fun.”

PETER PLACED A HAND OVER HIS CHEST, an expression of gratitude on his face. “doe, i want you to give my eulogy. merlin knows what my boys would come up with and i’m not certain they’d censor it.” when she lifted the cover to her book, his interest was caught as he met her gaze. he’d never admit to anyone, but learning and getting better and actually dueling was one of his guilty pleasures, even if he sat there for hours with lucinda going over a total of three spells.  with a sly smile on his face, he asked, “anything interesting?”

andromeda is nodding her head before peter can even get his whole sentence out, excitement bubbling up in her chest like an over-brewed potion. “ peter ––– i’m zero percent opposed to a picnic. ” she leans up on her toes to plant a kiss on the very corner of his mouth, brow furrowed slightly when she pulls back a second later. “ let’s go. can we go? ” she reaches up to straighten his tie as her eyes all but plead with his, releasing his wrists from her grasp. andromeda had restless fingers normally, but in her impatience their need to be occupied with something is only amplified. she’s never one to turn down food of any kind, and accompanied with her favourite holiday –– his plans couldn’t be more ideal. 

PETER RAISED HIS HANDS to the outsides of her arms, essentially holding her in place, struggling to keep up with every new movement, sentence, and look she gave him. “andie, baby, please. slow down, please.” he said gently, with a smile on his face and an added kiss to her forehead to keep her happy. peter didn’t want to dampen her excitement, but he had a hard time keeping up with her hands flying everywhere and if he stopping paying attention she’d be dragging him halfway down the hall. his first idea, thanks to the wide variety of help he had actually received, was actually a success. the fact that she seemed genuinely excited about it lifted the weight off his chest and he was actually able to enjoy her smile.  “it’s back in my room, we’ll have to go get it, but everything is ready.” peter explained with a hint of a blush to his face, nervously giving her the next option, “do you want to come with me and leave your bag in my room or i can meet you somewhere if you wanted to put your stuff up?”

Looking at the other, he sighed when he heard his words. “Don’t you have someone else to ask? Come on now, Peter. We both know that you could have anyone if you just put your mind to it” he mumbled. He then smiled a little, brushed some hair away from his best friend’s forehead and sighed. “Fine.. I’ll be your Valentine’s”

PETER SQUISHED REMUS’ FACE in his hand, puckering his lips slightly, “Six years in a row, I’ve got you a card and everything, would’ve been awkward if you said no.” He knew that the boys weren’t exactly happy that Peter had decided to get back with Andromeda, but he was grateful they at least put up with him for the time being. “Moons you’re no competition, how could you say that?” Peter moved to lay across the couch, his head facing the same direction as Remus, “What’re you planning on doing?” 

[pctcrpttgrws]

“ now? ” the question that slips from her lips is a jerk reaction, a side effect of being bombarded by peter’s very welcome presence. a moment ago she’d been biting at her fingernails and waiting for the clock to strike the number that meant she’d be free, and though peter waited for her outside of her classes more often than not ––– it was valentine’s day, and andromeda’s expectations had always been let down until now. linking her fingers around his wrists, she aims to keep his hands where they are on her waist. if he took them away, it was likely that she’d visibly deflate. 

“ i mean ––– yes. obviously, i’m free. ” a smile erupts on her features, the joy reaching as far as her eyes. even if she hadn’t been free, she would have made it so that she was. rubbing the skin on his wrists lightly with the pads of her thumbs, andromeda’s heart feels like it’s made entirely of jello. “ i’m free. ” she clears her throat before she reiterates, dialling her mirth back a few notches. 

SEEING HER HAPPY was one of the things that made him happy. “it felt like finally, he was doing something right. peter curls his fingers the tiniest bit, just enough to let her know he got that she doesn’t want him to let go. with his list in mind, he decides to offer up his first option for their date. “so if you totally hate it, just tell me and we can move onto the next think i had for backup.” he prefaced, a smile on his face regardless of the doubt he felt, “are you totally opposed to the idea of a picnic?” he hoped she didn’t hate it, because he bombarded her cousin with questions he was sure he was tired of hearing about andie’s favorite food. “there’s a spot, just along the edge of grounds and i thought it might be nice to just sit and talk?”

He was laying on the floor reading a book when he heard him speak up, arching one of his eyebrows and shuddering at the thought of Valentine’s day. Now that had never been something he cared about, he had always been alone and single on Valentine’s day. But this year.. well it was different. “I have no idea” he muttered and then looked at Peter. 

PETER WAS SILENT for a moment before looking down at Remus laying on the ground. In a swift motion, he was sitting up with both feet flat on the ground, one elbow propped up on his knee for support while his free hand reached out for Remus’s face. “Will you be my valentine again this year, Moony?” Peter begged playfully, diverting from what his initial intention was.

daisy had some free time in between classes and she’d decided to go wandering, she did that a lot. she’d ended up in what she thought was an empty classroom, BUT there was peter. she hops onto the desk next to him and nods her head at his question, “totally. especially when you’ve got a girlfriend pettigrew” she replies, her legs swinging off the edge of the desk. “if you’re stuck for ideas, i can help”. 

PETER HELD HIS HAND out to her to give her own a brief squeeze of gratitude. if daisy had something that she thought a girl might like, he’d be one step closer to saving his ass for several weeks. picking up his head slightly, he pouted at the hufflepuff, “you’d save my life if you did. and i’d owe you big time.”

“considering from memory you have a girlfriend, yeah, maybe a little.” she rolls her eyes, feet propped up for entirely different reasons. she hadn’t minded making herself comfortable near peter, knowing he likely wouldn’t bother her or bring up her injury. but it seems she was mistaken. “can i have one of those?” she mutters, motioning to the cigarette.

PETER ABSENTMINDEDLY FISHES the box of cigarettes that he never seems to be without from his pocket, handing it over to her. “she had to have timed this on purpose,” he said with a shake of his head. looking over at the other gryffindor, he kept his inquisition light not wanting her to think he wanted to talk about other things. “you have plans tavvy? or you keeping to yourself for the weekend?”
