Re: AFTER 8 PM
Peter laughed, it was nervous, squeaky laughter. Despite that though, he seemed to be gradually warming to Molly's presence, especially once he began to understand that she was going out of her way to speak with him.
It was...surprisingly kind of her.
"Guess they found something to entertain them." It wasn't completely unexpected. Sirius had his date, James had Lily to entertain, and Remus had not seemed particularly warmed to the idea of a ball.
When Molly leaned in, Peter mirrored her movement. It was almost funny, they seemed to be conspiring together.
"Ah. Dancing isn't my best thing, let alone with loud music." He paused, grinning a bit. He was still uncomfortable, but with all of the recent events, it paled in comparison.
So Peter did what he always did, when unsure of a moment. He switched the topic to someone else.
