Sir Wormtail

Peter Pettigrew 6th year gryffindor

You’ve spent too much time with James, I think. I’m hardly universally loved. Far from, actually!

[wormtaillpettigrew]

Very nearly universally loved. And, now that we're talking about James... how're you two doing?

[ofdoesandmeadowes]

You definitely should. What essay are we talking about, by the way?

[wormtaillpettigrew]

Potions and Care. Both classes that I'm wonderfully rubbish at.

[forevermarlenemckinnonold]

Did you see what I submitted for Care of Magical Creatures? It was literally just a stick figure drawing of a spider with some information around it. [Marlene snickers.] I’m hoping I get extra points for the diagram.

Oh, I’m sure Slughorn would take pity on you and give you bonus points. Especially if you give him a bottle of firewhiskey to go with it. [Marlene laughs.]

[wormtaillpettigrew]

I took a peek at it, yeah. [Peter smirks]. It'll probably get something, can't say you didn't put any effort into it.

Well, now all I need is firewhiskey, I suppose. Thankfully it's not too difficult to bribe Slughorn into at least getting some marks.

[forevermarlenemckinnonold]

Ah, good old potions. I got Lily to help me with that. Just say the same thing over ten different ways to fill up space.

Care is the one I’m probably going to fail. Unless, of course, I submit one of my many, wonderful masterpieces.

[wormtaillpettigrew]

I might just draw pictures of potions, myself. That has to get some kind of credit, doesn't it?

[putyourdukesupmary-blog]

I think you and I both know I can blame you for the detentions you get.

We got new recruits. Couple of first and second years. You know how I like ‘em young. [winks]

[wormtaillpettigrew]

As long as you don't scare the poor things off. I'll be at the next meeting, I promise!

[wormtaillpettigrew]

themarauder--moony replied to your post: Pete, did you see the paper this morning?

I don’t… I don’t really know? I mean, the bit about branding- I wonder if that means me as well.

Well-- well, I mean, it's not like it's anyone knows. Apart from our lot, of course. I bet if we just... y'know, keep things a bit quieter, be more careful?

[wormtaillpettigrew]

Pete, did you see the paper this morning?

Yeah, yeah, I have! How are you feeling about it, mate?

[lovelyxlilyevans]

Somehow, people always forget that detail for some reason. If anything, I’m worse than anyone for writing essays.

[wormtaillpettigrew]

Well, you're the universally loved Lily Evans. Suppose it's easy for most to forget sometimes.

[themarauder--moony]

I’ve been trying to attempt writing this potions essay all day. I have half of a mind to ask Sirius to eat it and use the age old excuse of my dog eating my homework.

[wormtaillpettigrew]

Think it'll be less convincing if I use that as well? "Remus' dog ate my homework too, sir!"

[emmelinevxnce-archive-blog]

Looks like you will. Good thing I was here to save the day, and your sanity. Though — aren’t you lions supposed to be the heroes? Chivalry and bravery….. all that jazz? 

[wormtaillpettigrew]

I can be brave. And chivalrous. Aren't all Ravenclaws supposed to fall to their knees at the sight of books and homework or.. something?

[lovelyxlilyevans]

Relatively. You flatter me! Really, my approach is to drink a lot of coffee, and then write whatever I think of until the length is filled and it’s done, and then I forget it exists. I usually do it at two the night before though.

[wormtaillpettigrew]

Well, it's nice to see that you're not too different from than the rest of us, then. 

[forevermarlenemckinnonold]

I figure that the teaches like a break from the monotony of words every now and then. it’s my default option when no one will let me copy.

What essays have you got left to do?

[wormtaillpettigrew]

Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. Though Merlin knows I'll probably fail the Potions one, anyway.

[putyourdukesupmary-blog]

Or you could tell me why you haven’t been to our team meetings, you scoundrel.

[wormtaillpettigrew]

I've been caught in detentions! Can hardly blame me for that!

Or... 'suppose you... can, actually. Have I missed much?

[lovelyxlilyevans]

Such a lovely way to spend the night!

[wormtaillpettigrew]

You're relatively good at these kinds of things, aren't you? How do you manage to stay focused?

[emmelinevxnce-archive-blog]

— It’s illegal to do homework on Fridays, didn’t you know…? Trust me, as I prefect, I know these things. 

[wormtaillpettigrew]

I thought something like that was slipping my mind. Well, that settles it then, doesn't it? Looks like it'll have to wait.

[forevermarlenemckinnonold]

Urgh, essays. Who needs them? I say just draw a diagram or something. Much easier than an essay.

[wormtaillpettigrew]

The idea is pretty tempting, doesn't sound like a bad one, actually.

[ofdoesandmeadowes]

To attempt writing it is already an accomplishment in my eyes.

[wormtaillpettigrew]

Isn't it just? I should get an award.
