There is Sirius, and there is Lily.

Both are sitting at a booth, looking over Regulus' notes about the dead body formerly known as Voldemort.

General consensus, at this point, goes like this: "Horcruces. Boo. Do not want."

Enter an extremely tired Healer trainee, looking decidedly the worse for wear. His robes are blood-spattered and are burned, ripped and bitten in countless places. He sinks into a chair near Sirius and Lily, paying no attention to the cup of piping hot tea which just materialised in his hand.

"It would be decidedly easier," he says to no one in particular, "to convince people that werewolves are people too if Fenrir Greyback and his pack would just stop attacking hospitals!"

[wisandint]

"And nobody's bothered threading the walls and such with silver? Honestly..."

[pjpettigrew]

"I don't think we can do that every room in St Mungo's. We have rather a lot of kid patients who've been infected with lycanthropy. But it might work for the doors and the windows. We already have Anti-Apparation charms up."

He glances over at the girl. "Do you think that it has to be the precious metal silver, or would any silver compound do it? Because I think I could whip up a silver compound. Or thirty."

[charminglioness]

"Compound should do it, I'd think," Lily chimes in, looking interested. "As long as the silver component was high enough. Who's Fenrir Greyback?"

[pjpettigrew]

"A creep," Peter says in total disgust. "A werewolf who works for Voldemort--and who has a very large pack following him. He likes to try to force parents of young kids to collaborate with Voldemort by threatening to infect their kids. If they refuse--the kids get bitten. Over and over again. That's how Remus got infected; it was Greyback. A lot of kids don't even survive.

"And if they do...you know, we have to deal people from the Ministry--and even some parents--insisting that the werewolf kids be 'put down,' because what kind of life can they have now? Don't worry, none of them have been. But the arguments--! You wouldn't think that a Healer would have to fight a parent on that score, would you?"

He glances over at Lily's table. "Oh, good, you've got Regulus's notes. You know, I thought of something that might make getting the Horcruces a little easier...in three worlds."

[scorching_black]

"....he's the one who infected Remus?"

This would be Sirius' Very Angry Face.

"Well. We shall have to do something about that, now that our Voldemort problem is largely gone before it started. After we deal with the Horcruces....so what's your idea?"

[pjpettigrew]

"He's the one," Peter says with a glare."So far he's eluded five Aurors, six Healers, the teacher of the Healer trainees--Chiron, he's a centaur--four trainees and a partridge in a pear tree. He limped away from the last fight, at least

[charminglioness]

"...Peter? You are brilliant."

Peter is going to get a kiss on the cheek from a very enthusiastic Lily now.

[wisandint]

Hermione's... doing her homework. And shooting pointed glances at Harry every once in a while. Someone might want to prod the girl with a cup of tea.

[pjpettigrew]

Peter is going to blush as red as Lily's hair. And not mind being given an enthusiastic Lily-kiss at ALL.

[wisandint]

"So," not even looking up from the masses of books, "you're from an alternate universe, then, Peter?"

[pjpettigrew]

"Yes. Or Lily is. Or you are. Depends on where a person's standing, I suppose." Peter looks at Hermione, or in the direction of Hermione's books, anyway. "So, you're into science fiction, then?"

[wisandint]

"A bit. It makes for interesting reading, although I'd never thought alternate realities actually existed!"

[pjpettigrew]

"Neither did I, before I came here," Peter confesses. "But I always hoped. I mean, alternate realities are cool.

"So. What's your name? And which reality are you from?"

[wisandint]

"Hermione Granger, and I guess you could say I'm from Harry's reality, as we both just finished third year at Hogwarts."

[pjpettigrew]

"Nice to meet you, Hermione," said Peter, thinking that meeting two people in two days who came from that strange world where he was a traitor was a bit odd. "Hey, did you hear what happened in the world that Sirius, Remus and Lily come from?"
