liquid luck

Peter and Gilderoy pair up in potions class, trying to win a vial of liquid luck at the upcoming slug club party.-“Sorry, Pete. It’s just… you know.”Peter swallows. And yes, he does know. He’ll never be anyone’s first choice. James and Sirius were best friends. He didn't know why he thought, just for a second, it would be different.He feels as though he’s made of stone, unable to move or breathe. Luckily, the reflex to plaster on a smile is an easy instinct, and he does it, nodding his head a little.“Oh, it’s fine,” Peter says. He tries to believe it himself. James is still looking at him like a sad puppy. Peter knows he genuinely feels bad, and Peter claps him on the back.“I’ll find someone else.” He says as he turns around, but collides into someone standing right behind him. Of all people, it’s Gilderoy Lockhart. Even having been in the same year for their entire time at Hogwarts, Peter hardly knew him. They’ve had a handful of conversations, but none of them meaningful.“Pettigrew, be my partner for the project.” He says it more like a command, not a question. Peter blinks, surprised....well, alright?
