Re: Peter/James
"You chose to be involved long before we knew about this prophecy. You, Sirius, Remus and me. I'm as much to blame as everyone else." He finally got up. "And what, James? Was Harry's life more important than the lives of ten Muggles? Or one Muggle? How do we pick who to protect? You protected your own, and I protected mine."
He nodded. "I know what I'm going to do, what I would have done, but what would you have me do? Can you honestly look me in the eyes and tell me that I should have protected you and gotten all of them killed? Can you? Is this what we're doing? I mean it's what we did with Remus' family. We didn't protect him or them. Why is it your family more important than mine?"
He sat bad down head in his hands. "I didn't have a better answer, James. I had to pick. I didn't have the luxury not to make that choice."
