one. you lost me there in the open road
[accidental video]
[Peter is not panicking.]
[Really, he's not, because panic was over about five minutes ago when he Apparated into this strange place and he immediately scrambled to hide. He was supposed to be in a suburb. This is clearly not a suburb. This is--somewhere else, and he can't quite tell what the dominant accent is but if he's managed to accidentally get himself to another country he knows James is going to laugh at him forever.]
[He hopes it isn't Australia. If it has to be anywhere that's not the UK, he hopes it's not Australia. They have deadly jellyfish and dingoes and Australians in Australia.]
[No, Peter isn't panicked. Peter is so horrified he's giddy; he keeps suppressing the insane urge to laugh, because what else could go wrong?]
You are an idiot, Peter.
[He presses his hands over his face and then--curls up in a ball, his wand clutched tightly in his hand as he huddles miserably over his knees. Hello, City. There is a short blond young wizard, by the name of Pettigrew, of twenty years age and an evident unawareness of the camera at his feet.]

[She reminds him of a Slytherin. It's silly to still be slotting people like that after school, Peter is aware, but he's never claimed maturity. (Sometimes he feel impossibly old. Sometimes impossibly young.)]
[Also he can, apparently, still manage sarcasm.]

You forgot the curses.

[She's kind of a low creature herself.]
They're compelled to, there's really no resisting. You'll understand when you catch one.

[He does, actually, but deftly pitches his voice to make himself sound skeptical. He sighs, then, and settles down cross-legged.]
Not exactly where I'd choose to go on holiday.

[No more quick Quidditch scrimmages with James. No more being Sirius' wingman. No more rudimentary book club with Remus, when they have time.]
[No more running and hiding in the dark. No more dealing with the Death Eaters and being terrified of forgetting, of rolling his shirtsleeves up accidentally. No more betrayal.]
[What if he never sees them again?]
I'll wait and see.
video;
That's the only option.

[Siiiighing. He does that a lot lately.]
Been here long?
video;
[She's not joking. She was very pink.]
And it will be six months, on Sunday.
video;
I hear a year is usual, yeah?

video;
Frequently.

[Preferred, even.]

[A little pause.]
A plague?

[He hesitates.]
None of my business, is it?
video;
Maybe not. You didn't have anything interesting to tell me, after all.
video;
Fair enough.

[He seems a bit baffled by the question. Of course he cares.]
