WHO: Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin
WHEN: November 1977
WHERE: Hogwarts
WHAT: Playing a prank
CHALLENGE: Backstory (Hoodwink), Bingo (Break time, a friend)
Peter and Remus spent plenty of time alone together, for a given value of "plenty." It was obvious to all but the most dimwitted of outsiders how the Marauders worked - two plus one plus one, with James and Sirius inseparable and Peter and Remus orbiting them. They ought to have been best friends, it would've made sense to pair the spares, but that wasn't entirely how it tended to work out. Still, whenever James and Sirius were off doing their thing, Peter and Remus sort of tended to hang out together. Mostly. Sometimes. A lot, okay?
The point being, Remus was the closest thing to a best friend that Peter Pettigrew had, and since neither of the other Marauders were anywhere to be seen this afternoon, during their hour-long break between classes, Peter had hopefully suggested that just the two of them might do something fun. By fun, of course, he meant slightly malicious and borderline cruel, but only to somebody who deserved it.
Having borrowed the Marauder's Map off of James, Peter was lurking round a corner, watching a much-loathed Slytherin approach their position. "Okay," he said. "You have the camera? I'm gonna transform and run straight at him, and you get the picture of his reaction. Then run like hell. But I'll distract him if he sees you, though I doubt he will." This would surely entertain James and Sirius for at least an hour when they got the photo developed.
