Peter watched as quite a few kids were placed into Gryffindor. And so another year began and once again Peter sat with his friends but didn't talk much; he only listened in to their conversations. It was not that he wasn't interested, he just wasn't the talkative type. He noticed that Slytherins were being Slytherins and teasing the new kids. Every year that happened, but everyone knew it wasn't their business. Peter continued to eat his dinner and watched events play out, but he wanted badly to intervene. And he did. Peter stood up and walked over to the Slytherin table. On the way, a couple people took noticed but had no idea of his intentions. He took a deep breath and spoke once he got to the Slytherin table.<br/><br/>"You guys, uh, shouldn't be teasing the new kids," he said unconvincingly.<br/><br/>"Look! It's Peter trying to play hero again!" someone shouted and a chorus of laughs followed. That caused Peter's ears turn red and for him to quickly return to his seat where he continued to eat.
