Summary
Obligatory marauders content for the anniversary of James and Lily's deaths :)-Anything in brackets isn't supposed to represent James having conflicting thoughts (he doesn't have reason to suspect Peter of anything), it's just us all knowing what happens next.

You felt safe.
Safe in your home, where only one person knew where you were.
(He wasn't your first choice.)
Your friend.
(Your. Friend.)
(He was your friend.)
Why would you need your wand against him?
Just leave it on the couch.
Your wife and your son, busy in another room.
Safe.
(Right?)
Open the door.
It's okay.
You're all safe here.
