Moments in Time [Peter]

[IASA ISRAFEL PEPPER]

Peter?

I've been writing to Lily and she said that she thought she saw you at the ministry and, well, I was wondering if it was true. Are you there? Everything seems so confusing. And... we all need each other. We're all, all that each other have. How are you? Are they treating you well? I was told that

Have they found a place for you to go yet?

Iasa

[PETER MICHAEL PETTIGREW]

Iasa!

Are you really there? Lily's here too? They said she died! Why is everything so weird here, in this time I suppose it is? It's fine here, but they say I can't see Sirius! They say that he killed Lily and James, well, gave them to You-Know-Who, and that he killed me! He wouldn't do that, would he? They won't let me room with him, even though others seem to have roommates here.

The people here said that all of my family is gone, and my friends are either too dangerous or dead... I wish I could get out of here, but there isn't anyone out there for me.

Peter

P.S. Tell Lily hi for me!

[IASA ISRAFEL PEPPER]

[Tears smear some of the words on the page]

Oh Peter,

It can't be true!

Sirius would never do that! They have to be wrong! My brother told me about Lily. He didn't tell me about you though. Oh Peter it just can't be true! So many terrible things are supposed to have happened and we can't even see each other? I miss you, I miss all of you so much.

Why can't life just go back to normal?

Iasa

[PETER MICHAEL PETTIGREW]

Don't worry Iasa...

It'll be like normal eventually, right? We'll get used to being here, and once they realize that they have it all wrong about Sirius, they'll set him free, and we can go and find the others. I really hope that things go back to normal. Normal was fun and nice. But here it is like all of our lives were ruined or ended when we were young.

It would be really nice to see you. Maybe after they release me, we could meet up sometime!

Peter

[IASA ISRAFEL PEPPER]

Thank You Peter,

It can't be true!

You're right of course. They have to realize that everything was a mistake and everything will be better. I can't wait to see all of you. I thought I was alone at first. It's so nice to know that we aren't. Especially with all the changes that have happened in the years.

I want to see all of you so much. Rhiannon. Lily. Sirius. You.

Do you think that maybe it's all just some kind of horrid dream? I know it's not, but it's nice to think of. Especially when you find out that you've died. [scribbled out]

Iasa

[PETER MICHAEL PETTIGREW]

Me too Iasa

I miss you all very much! Then I could tell everyone that the ministry is just full of weird people who think Sirius could've done such things...

I really don't like it here, they don't let me eat what I want... It's always this gross stuff, and then they just leave me all alone. It's so lonely here, Iasa. I mean, I saw Rhian a little bit ago, but that was it. Other than the Ministry People I haven't seen anyone besides Rhian.

Peter

[IASA ISRAFEL PEPPER]

Peter,

You shouldn't have to be lonely. That's not fair. I don't like that they're treating you all like this. I'll come and see you. I'll be glad to keep you company. You probably could use it. And I doubt that Octavius will miss me very much. My brother is all grown now Peter! I'll have to tell you all about it as soon as I see you. Hopefully it won't take me too long to get down to London. I'll probably just take the bus or maybe a train.

Iasa

[PETER MICHAEL PETTIGREW]

IASA!

[scribbled really fast so it is only barely legible with ink blots around from a rapid exchange between ink, quill, and paper]
Don't come, you'll get in trouble. I don't want that... I'll be fine; they say it is only a matter of time until they find someone to take me. I don't want you to get in trouble, so please don't come. I do want to see you, but it's not worth you getting in trouble with the Ministry People.

Peter
