isn’t that PETER PETTIGREW? yeah that is HIM, sitting there at the GRYFFINDOR table with those other SIXTH years and i think i heard sybill saying they look like JOE KEERY… whoever that is! when she looks into her crystal ball she sees { wings fluttering— alight with enough fire to melt their fragile construction, the frayed edges of a jean jacket, chucks kicking up dirt to the beat of wild laughter, the hum of a dying neon sign, an uncomfortable pounding in the chest— palms slick with sweat, impatient fingers drumming away through the torture of small talk } anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty OBNOXIOUS, CALLOUS, and MISCHIEVOUS. apparently they’re a HALFBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related.
ugh petey boy my lil shit
he’s v fun, always down for whatever. playful and a bundle of energy.
excessive gestures include: bouncing his leg, rubbing his hands together, nodding in rhythm to music only he can hear, boisterous laughter
absolutely loves talking to people, his friends mean so much to him they’re his #1′s but he’s also known to be very sociable
usually trying to mess with people, has been known to take things too far only to excuse it as a joke
the marauder’s personal cheerleader. #1 fan. he wants them to be happy
makes up for emotional unavailability with humor
is not making any efforts towards growing up. sry not sry
~~insert mysterious past here~~ o o o OOOoooOOooo o
just kidding it’s super generic: his mother is a mousy woman who doesn’t say much. is she miserable? is she content? hard to tell. his dad is a v charismatic person, almost to the point of being intimidating. it’s helped him rise through ministerial posts and he extends the same commanding control towards his family. he’s not abusive. he’s not cruel. if anything he is kindly and hurt deeply by the side effects of his parenting style. but he is dull, and stifling and peter puts a lot of energy towards surrounding himself with people that won’t box him in a corner and being unlike his father as he can
he asked to be in gryffindor, although the hat encouraged him to join slytherin. but if he were honest, the tight collars of the other slytherin boys reminded him of home. whereas the ruffled hair and patched sleeves of james potter, remus lupin and sirius black appealed to him much more. gryffindor meant adventure, excitement, things peter had only ever dreamed of.
but peter is, to put it nicely, a *~*~*late bloomer*~*~* he just cant quite get the hang of the gryffindor pace. he’s a step behind, a little too slow to be brave, a little too hesitant to lead any chase. while an excellent, supportive, partner in crime. he just isn’t anyone’s first pick for even the easiest tasks
he’s insecure about it since it doesn’t seem to be getting any better the older they all get
but anything serious makes him uncomfortable, he’ll move on so quick sis
^^^ (lbr he fits in with the marauders perfectly)
but also?? it makes this war stuff really difficult for him. it’s too serious. too outside his comfort zone of him and his friends messing around and snoozing through classes. like??? no thank you. although he’s too scared to say anything as everyone around him seems to have such strong opinions on the matter.
music junkie: can’t play or sing to save his life????? but he is out here enjoying some abba ( his wild style, ever changing piercings, hair colors and silky scarves give that away ) but really anything that has a beat has found it’s way through his ear holes
