COMPLETE
Peter felt a little deflated once he realised that people were started to change back to their original ages. It made him feel like he'd made too much of a fuss about it all. As long is it continued, perhaps everyone would be back to normal eventually, including James and Albus. He hoped so. The way things were now he was even more on edge than usual, even at work where he could usually lose himself in menial tasks like stacking shelves.
The only way he could really be calm was to be alone. Really alone, not just locked up in his bedroom while Snape stalked around the house with creepy, cat-like quietness. He'd given up on the beach as a place of meditation, as people always seemed to catch him out down there, and so today made the considerable walk to the cliffs at the far west of the mainland. It took some time, but by the time he got there and sat down with a sigh beside a rock, he was a little calmer. Any sensible person might have flown, of course, but one handed flying? No thanks. He was bad enough on a broom without added handicaps.
One day I'll find something I'm actually good at, he thought, with an uncharacteristic flash of positivity. That's not spying or blowing people up, anyway. It was bloody unfortunate that his only skills seemed to be in doing things that would ultimately get people hurt or killed. Life was a bitch that way.
He closed his eyes and put his left palm on his left knee, the other arm bent a little and tucked against his chest. He breathed in deeply to the rhythm of the waves far below the bluff, letting the fresh sea air soothe him as much as it could. Through helping Lea with her desire to become an Animagus, he'd found that meditation did help him focus his ailing magic a little better. Perhaps it also did something for his mood, but it was hard to tell. Just for once it was nice to feel that he was safe for a while, even if he was alone. Loneliness had never been something he was good at dealing with. He was learning though, how to survive without others to cling to. He had to learn. He had no one to hold him up any more.
