Peter and Remus
Aug. 22nd, 2003 11:14 amDrabble. Just because I don't seem to have anything better to do (which I have, btw =.=), I won't stop spamming my lj. XP
( Trying to imagine )
Ok, my english is quite rough, still.. =__= I have to work on that. (And on the "I think"s that are overrunning all the piece..)
Probably it's clear enough, I don't know, but it's from Peter's pov. It wasn't intended to be this way - it started as Sirius talking about Remus post-Gof, then during MWPP days, then I scrapped Sirius altogether - I don't see neither him or James as thoughtful types (I'm not saying they don't want to understand Remus. They just do it, without thinking over it.) So I thought of Peter. He's not one of my fav characters, he's never been, yet I don't agree with the characterization he often get in MWPP fics. He's either a poor, pathetic little thing loathed and alienated by his own friends, or already a evil double crosser. The second one is just impossible, and for a simple reason: Sirius switched with him, yes, because no one would have thought of Peter.. but if this was the only reason, he could have picked up another member of the Order. Don't we forget that James was like a brother, to Sirius; and you entrust with your brother's life only persons you actually trust, and trust a lot.
And, by the way, I don't think Peter able to pretend for such a long time as seven or more years. So, what is he? Perhaps just a little man, scared shitless, probably all too aware of his own scarce possibilities and lack of strenght. And in that he's just like a lot of other people, truth to be told. As far as I know, even I could act like him. I can't be sure I won't. Hell, I don't think I would, and surely I don't absolutely want to, but I've never been in a real, extended danger of life, I've never seen (thanks God) people I know and love fall one by one. I don't want to be like him, but I could be. Fear is a vicious thing.
And I run off on veritable tangents, sometimes. ^^"
