I've just finished aforementioned book, and GOOD LORD (nevermind I'm not exactly the religious type) I needed to draw a smile. Badly. So... this. Which is really very much of a sketch.
At first, the image I'd thought of was a Lily, holding a hat to her head with both hands and laughing at the camera. Then... I chose Peter. Mostly because, as I said, Amir reminds me strongly of the idea I have of him. And then... well, I don't think I'll surprise anyone if I say that I strongly disagree from the fandom's take on Peter. It's the very definition of "easy way out". Reality... is pretty much more complex than that.
No worries, I won't start ranting or anything like that.
Title: Smile
Characters: a veeeery young Peter Pettigrew
Rating: G, of course.
Notes: ...look above! ;P
How much this book absorbed me in! Just... I'm prone to believe a high number of people here likes to read, am I right? You know the kind of book you just throw yourself in, that is a whole new world, with its own colors, rhythms, smells? You know when you skip lunch so you won't have to tear yourself away, when, if you can't go on reading for even half an hour, you start fidgeting to make time pass, you try to keep conversations down to a minimum so not to lose that feeling, when you think back to some parts you just have to bite your lip hard to try and not make a spectacle of yourself in public?
That.
That's the kind of book it was for me. :D
And now I suppose I'll have to give it back, since it's not mine, and this might be a little traumatic. ;P

I slipped the picture back where I had found it. Then I realized something: That last thought had brought no sting with it. Closing Sohrab's door, I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.
