Hope it's good!
Peter weeps.
It’s a testament to the human condition that people become adults at all, given the trials and tribulations most endure as they trade childhood for the oftentimes embarrassing and sometimes downright cruel teenaged years. As adults, many would tell you that, while their younger years were, overall, kind, they’d never wish to live them again.
Given what Peter Pettigrew suffers through now, however, he might say different. As he clutches his ill-gotten silver hand in his other, calloused, and with nails bitten to the quick, his tears have all the weight of speech.
“What I wouldn’t g-give to have a t-time turner,” he whispers.
