Title: Birthday Wishes
Characters: Peter, James, Remus, Sirius
Word Count: 100
Challenge: Wishful Thinking

“You should have wished for brains.”
James clobbered Sirius and began rolling about shoving grass down his shirt. Remus sighed and returned to
his book. Peter looked down, worried.
“What’s the matter?” Remus said, sounding concerned.
“I wished for something once, but it’s really silly now.”
“Go on, Petey, what did you wish for?” James’ muffled voice came from under Sirius’ body. Peter turned red and whispered- “Love.”
