Silver and Green

Soft sheets slipping over his skin as he dreams; of power, and corruption and the heady scent of green and silver. He wishes, sometimes, that he fit in more in his house; but the banner flies above his head at the Quidditch stands and he sits with his book, outcast unclean.

Hogwarts is a prestigious school, and friendships are not just about where your loyalty lies; Peter has loyalty to Gryffindor, and to Dumbledore, and most especially to James – but what he doesn’t have is scarlet and gold. His blood is impure, the result of his mother’s dalliances, and his pockets are empty of the Galleons his friends spend so frivolously.

In his own private oblivion none of this matters, however; he is wrapped in his lover’s tender arms. Bedsheets silver for the sickles in his tightly clenched hands; bedsheets green for the curse that would damn him for thirteen years.

Peter dreams and listens thoughtfully to another boy’s heartbeat. Loyalty is useless to him now.
